Our Wheat Goes East.

The bulge in wheatis bringing grain
from interior points and from farmers
bins to market. Last weeks receipts
amounted to lib cars, considerably
heavier than usual at this time of the
year, and the receipts yesterday indi-
cate that this weeks business will be
even heavier, forty-nine cars being
received. II the present bulge in the
price of wheat is retained the receipts
at this market will probably be heavier
in July than have been before In a
long time during that month.
Grain men say that there is better
profit today in selling Washington
wheat at Minneapolis than in sending
it over to Europe or around the Horn.
They figure this on a basis of this
wheat being worth 2 cents a bushel
less than the hard spring wheat of
Minnesota and the Dakotas. Nothing
has yet been done in the way of ship
ping Washington wheat to Minnesota
points, nor is it likely that anything
will be done in this line right away,
as it is the dull season with the flour
ing mills at Minneapolis now, but
grain men here are looking to see a
good deal of Washington wheat 90
East overland to Minnesota as result
OF the practical failure of the wheat
crop of the great spring wheat states.
In years gone by when the shortage in
the spring wheat states was not nearly
as great as it is sure to be this fall the
wheat OF this state has been worked
East, and grain men expect to see it
repeated this year on a larger scale.
While the three spring wheat states
will have practical failure owing to
the prolonged dry season following a
winter in which there was little snow,
they will raise, so men in the grain
trade estimate. about 100000 bus
hels, or less than half a crop. They
have raised as high as 22O,OOO,OOO
bushels. Washington farmers and
tgrain growers look on in smiles at the
jump in the price OF wheat for they
will raise about $4,000, 900 bushels this
year one of the greatest crops the state
ever raised, and together with what
will be produced in Idaho and Oregon
there will be 10000, 600 bushels to be
drawn on in this part of the country.
The crop outlook for grain is fatter-
|lng in Washington, Kansas, Nebraska
Oklahoma and Texas.-Ledger.

Record Of The Banner Year.

Exports CT the fiscal year ending
with this month will show al increase
over those of any previous year $l75,
100000. OF this increase manufact-
ures play an important part, the ex-
ports being SIS 100000 in excess of
any other year. There has been an
increase of imports but this was due to
the increased demand for raw materials
bv our manufacturers. Raw silk, un-
manufactured fibres, crude rubber,
hides and skins, pig tin, cabinet woods
and fine grades of cotton and the
coarser grades of wool all show a large
increase as compared with preceding
years.
The total exports for the first eleven
months of the year amount to $1,2o6
214,534, and if the June exports are as
large as those of the preceding month
they will bring the total for the year
up to $1,40O,00O. Agricultural pro-
ducts show an increase OF $4,000, O0O
and mineral of $40 100000 The total
exports of manufactured iron and
steel will be $4,000 900, an increase
of 90 percent last year-Ledger.

Josiah Aliens Wife Goes a-Visitin'

"Josiah Aliens Wife" has sharpened
up her pen again, and with her patient
unobtrusive husband "goes a-visitin'
for The Ladies Home Journal. Every
one knowing that Josiah's wife is cob
servant" and "critikal" can anticipate
that in laying bare the shortcomings
and mistakes of those she visits she
will have abundant opportunity for
the exercise of her quaint humor and
homely philosophy. In the course oil
her 'visitin" she finds many things to
set right, and there is definite pur-
pose underlying all her sketches
"Josiah and 7 Go a-visitin" is perhaps
the best series that Mrs. Holly has
ever written-superior even to hel
description of the Centennial which
established her reputation as humor
lst-philosopher of the first order. The
first sketch of this new series will be
published in the August Journal.

Accounting for Railway Accidents

The deralIment of trains on the
South Pacific coast railroad by track
jumping, which has been very frequent
OF late, is attributed by railway en-
ployes the excessive oscillation OF the
locomotive and tender, produced by a
new method Of braking joints in track
laying, adopted as an experiment on
the narrow-guage line.
In ordinary track laying it is tie
custom to bring the rail joints on each
side Of the track on the same tie. On
the South Pacific Coast railroad the
joints alternate at the center of the op-
posite rail. As Il result the lar receiy-
ed by the locomotive and tender in
passing over each joint has thrown
them first one way, then the other,
the regularity of the oscillation con-
forming With the length of the joints,
and its violence augmenting with in
creased speed. AS consequence, the
motion of the locomotive under such
conditions in time swings its tender
and itself clear Of the rails to its own
destruction.
So convinced has the railroad man
agement become OF the correctness of
the theory of the roadmen that it has
decided to abandon the new system OF
breakir g joints and relay the track on
on the old pian.-San Francisco Chro-
nicle.

Remarkable Rise In Wheat.

CHICAGO, June 23.-July wheat was
quoted at 664c on the board of trade
during the session of June 4. At the
close today the same option was selling
a.SSc. This was 45c above the clos
ing price of yesterday. No such adj
vance has been scored since the at
tempted corner engineered by Joseph
Letter.
In the advance OF I'll cents during
the past nineteen days there have
been no evidence of manlpu lation,
contrary to speculative proverbs that
"the market only advances on man.
ipulation its natural course is down
ward" 1t has been remarkable rise in
the history of the exchange.
"Pyramiders" have had everything
their own way, because there has been
scarcely setback since the market
crossed zoe. No failures have resulted.
There was an extraordinary small
short interest at the beginning OF the
advance and this was hastily covered.
Foreigners had hedged against con-
siderable cash stuff in this market,
but of course this kind of shortage
entailed no financial loss.
Stories of big winnings are thick about
the exchange and no such wave Of
prosperity has visited the commission
men in a decade.
Causes of this advance in the price
of "the staff of life" are found in the
parched spring wheat fields of the
great Northwest, where authorities
declare not one third of the crop OF
former years can be harvested. A
bumper winter crop has already been
assured, outside of the states of Ohio
Indiana and Michigan. For the
satisfaction of those who may be il
fear of starvation it may also be statef
that the visible supply of wheat in thu
granaries of the United States exceeds
100000 bushels. These are the
grains of comfort left to the bears, wh'
also have the assurance that ever,
month in the year records whea
harvest IN some country of the globe
But at present a sort of "bull fever
is running high and the Chicag
wheat pit is flooded by telegraph

5000, 900 bushels, most of which is

larger than for several years with the
possible exception of last year; that a
