Wheat.

For the first time in many moons
something beyond the ordinary rou-
tine has developed in the wheat
market and there is change from

OF affairs, says the West Coast
Trade, The situation in the north
west has progressed to that position
that an aggravated crop scare is at

been working up to a crisis, and
commencing with last THURSDAY

have cause later to regret it, as they

would probably be difficult to effect
engagements at less figure than
Ais Sd under the circumstances, as
against 40s heretofore prevailing.
The EngIishire, which got out with
1888 centals during the week,
leaves but three spot carriers on
the Sound, but exporters are able
to care for all the wheat Offering
This is not difficult, since holders
have not forsaken the belief that
has been very costly in the past of
regarding every advance as but the
torerunner Of still higher surges,
and are not yet Offering with the
freedom that might be anticipated,
though the present developments
may reasonably be expected to
shrink the heavy anticipated carry
oNe" stocks in theinterior by con
siderable margin.
Among the important influences
tending to give wheat a stronger
tone this week is noted the gov
eminent crop report for June,
which, after eliminating another
100000 acres from its reported
area of winter wheat, reduces the
average standing to S2.7 points as
compared with $50 on May /.
This brings the winter wheat acre
age down to 24,90S,O00 bushels on
June |, and some authorities have
cut down their estimates on the
Yield to 340,000,000 bushels, with
possibilities of running under that
figure. The preliminary report on
the spring wheat crop reduces the
acreage % per cent, or 567 900 acres,
with an average condition June | of
813, as against 91.4 June last
year and 1O-year average of SO.
With the spring wheat harvest at
250,O00,00O last year, there are
prospects Of cutting Of from 15,000,-
600 to 100000 bushels should
the northwest continue to suffer,
though the element Of exaggeration
always rpparent must be taken into
consideration and the total wheat
yield OF this country presents wide
ranges of possibilities 1t may drop
to 575,000,0O0 bushels, or may go
above the 600,00O,O0O bushel mark.
There is at least no canse for
anxiety, with a carry-over surplus
'of over 100,0O0,O0O bushels, and
America will furnish the usual ex-
port quota.

Cheap transportation and accessible

where, 1t is not an unusual sight to see,
at one time dozen or more boats loading
their cargos of the product of the farm for
the great markets of the world. Chesa-

have made it an attractive grain market for

are out for the highest market quotations.

Sunshine aud Influenza.

In view OF the known bactericidal
influence Of sunlight il would not be
surprising to learn that an inverse re.
lation exists between the amount Of
sunshine and the prevalence Of infec-
tious diseases. providing. however, the
temperature is not excessive. Some
observations recorded by Ruheman
appear 10 indicate that influenza IN
more prevalent when the amount of
sunshine is less, and il is not impos.
sible that similar rule would be
found to apply to other infectious dis
eases also. In the eight years from
1898 10 1900 the number Of hours Of
sunshine during the month OF Janu-
ary, when influenza was exceedingly
prevalent was between o. y in 1900.
and G23 in lS99--the mean being
3G.4. A similar state Of affairs was
observed in Madgeburg, where from
1882 TO 1900 the number of hours OF
sunshine varied during the same
month between 10 in 1900 and sc. 3 in
1883. Similar figures were obtained

The couple had walked the approach

safe until there was whistle of an
engine behind them, and, looking
back, they saw another train approach

Without hesitation Mr.. Saunt
grasped his wife aud hurried her 20

lifted her and threw her into the
creek, about twenty feet below.
The engineers OF both trains whistled
down brakes, and made an effort &c
stop. So rapidly were they approach

TreadIng on Lions.

While puisuing guinea-fowl in the

being so roughly disturbed. Next
moment / became aware OF lioness

There was no time TO put bullets
into the gun, and l quickly decided
to stand still till it became clear that
the lioness meant to seize me. Then,
as a last chance, would send a charge
of shot at her head in the hope of
binding her, at least.
In few moments the brute was
within four yards or so of me, growl-

myself anywhere but there, bat forced
myself to stand motionless.
Luckily the cubs joined their dam,
and she halted to notice them a mo-

ing ugly, but halted again, then turned
slowly around, and followed by the
cubs, made for a huge boulder twenty
yards distant, and lay down behind
it, as / could see by the tail tuft which
protruded beyond the rock.
Then my hunters blood was up.
