There has been sudden increase in
the cash wealth of every man, woman
and child in the country, amounting
to 53 cents per head. At least, that
is the way the statistician of the
Treasury Department figures it out,
though we can't conscientiously adj
wise the public to get extravagant on
the strength of it. The cause lies in
the findings of the census bureau
which discovered chat the population
OF the country WIS o",., .j,00O,000 in
June, instead of the 100000 esti-
mated by the Treasury man. Conse-
quently, the $2,13O,1S1,4 of good
hard cash in circulation in this coun-
try on November l had to be divided
among only rs, S91 900, instead of the
1887 900 that would have shared in
1t if the census man had not interfered
Hence in this way alone the per capita
circulation went up SO cents, and on
the revised basis stood on the first of
the month at $27S2, against $27.O1
on October l. Taking the increase in
the circulation during October and
the reduction in the population every
one could have 81 cents more if there
was an equal d istribution OF the out
standing cash.

Recent experience again demon.
strates that we have outgrown the
present method of voting. Long lines
OF shivering men waiting for chance
to enter the booth, discussed the
present system and did more think
ing about it probably than in the four
years put together since the last pres
idential election. Inside the booths
men were thinking also. On little,
narrow shelf, trying to handle great
posters, they were expressing their
choice. A ballot, three or four feet
long with hundred or more names
on it is not conducive to independent
voting. 1t is SO much easier to vote
the straight ticket and get through in
a reasonable time. Then the quantity
OF paper involved make necessary
additional space in the ballot
boxes. The lesson of it all points
to the necessity for machine voting.
The Australian system served its day
and purpose, and was vast improve
ment over the old method. A pri-
mary election law and machine voting
have become as necessary as was the
Australian system in it's day.

Rrnndstuffs and Provisions.

CHICAGO-The grain and provisions
markets were quiet to-day. Wheat
was easy early on predictions of rain
in the northwest tonight and favorable
crop advices from the southwest but
steadIed later on decrease in the visible
July closing &c under Saturday. Corn
closed &c up and odts shade reduced
The provisions market closed steady
and practically unchanged.
When the session began wheat was
affected by the fact that the north
western states were generally with
out the rain they have been clamoring
for and by the steadiness Of cables.
Reports from the southwest were faV-
ornble to the crop, but this did not pre-
vent July, which had opened &c lower
at 66hc, from advancing to 61g6Ibc.
Later the weather prognostlcator said
there was n probability Of showers In
the dry section tonight, and the selling
thus caused, sent July back to 66Ec.
The market steadied at this point on
covering by shorts and later upon the
announcement that the European Vis-
ible had decreased 2,360,OOO bushels ana
the domestic visible 1,50S,0O0 bushels, re-
covered to 66%46ic. The close was
steady, &c under Saturday at 66'Sc'
The cash demand was slack and specu-
ion. New York reported twenty loads
taken for export. Clearances In wheat
and -four from the seaboard were equal
TO 100000 bushels. Primary receipts
were $4,000 bushels, compared with
s21 900 bushels last year. Minneapolis
and Duluth reported 757 cars. against
3s6 last week and 1923 a year ago. Local
receipts were thirty-eight cars, one OF
contract grade.
The corn market was quiet and easy
the greater part OF the session. Cables
were weak, western farmers Offering
larger and the weather favorable. Lo-
cal receipts GIG cars, was liberal
enough to add to the bearish feeling.
During the afternoon, however, the
market steadled on the visible decrease
Of 2,54O,000 bushels, July sold between
37c and s6Isc, and closed nc over Sat
urday ut SIC. The cash demand here
was reported slack, although New
York reported seventy loads taken for
export.
oats were easy and dull in n specula-
tive way. The market was Influenced
by corn most Of the session. but near
the end did not recover as well as did
the coarser cereal. There was fair
shipping demand. Receipts here were
400 cars. July sold between 2lAc and
2lc, closing a shade down at 2l1sg2lAg
exc.
The provisions market opened lower
on liberal hog receipts, lower market at
the yards and six pence reduction on
product ut Liverpool. Packers were
fair buyers and during the session
nearly all the opening loss was recov-
cred. July pork sold between Sll nv
and Sil SPY and closed 2i5c under sat
