New York-There has been very little
actual change in the situation during the
last week. Prices are still somewhat
irregular, for the reason that in certain
lines. notably in iron and steel. reaGJust-
ments are still ir order. The belief pre-
walls, however. that values generally
have Touched the lowest parks for some
time to come Railroads throughout The
country continue to make an excellent
showing in the matter Of earnings. This
Is particularly true Of the Western lines.
The bank clearngs also indicate that the
volume Of general business is being well
maintained. So far as the stock market
is concerned. il seems to be the consensus
OF opinion that securities viii ultimately
reach a higher level OF prices As a
rule, even the bears eoncede that as to
the immediate future opinions are not
quite so unanimous. The market is evil
IDENTIFY under control Of the large inter
asts, and yet in view of the crop uneer-
tainties and the political campaign, il IS
perhaps not considered good judgment to
start a sustained upward movement al
this time.
Chicago-The wheat market evinctG
considerable strength last week, the firm
ness being for the good and sufficient rea-
son that in the markets OF the importing
countries American wheat was under
selling the product of its competitors
Proof of this was the heavy purchases
made here fer foreign account Besides
the foreign demand as an aid to the mar

back for securing the remains of the
drought-stricken spring wheat crop or
North Dakota and northern Minnesota
The rain that was withheld during the
period Of the plants growth, when mois-
ture was of vital impo1ance, has re-
Gently been pouring in mods, just at the
time when dry weather was urgently
needed for the in-gathering of what the
previous drought had left. More than
the usual i'll effect of a wet harvest has
been experienced because of the neces-
sity Of using mowers and headers in cut
ting the grain this season on account Of
the shortness of the straw. The heads
of the grain thus cut, gathered into heaps
in the fields, have bean subjected to the
most injurious effects of incesSlnt rain,
accompanied by high degree of temper
allure. the result of which, according 10
numerous Northumberland accounts
from the suffering Territory mas oeeH tAe

large portion of the wheat which had
been saved from the drought. The full
effect of the last-named addition to the
original calamity in the Northwest has
not yet been experienced in the market.
The rain that has been playing havoc
with spring wheat came in the nick Of
time to benefit corn, the price of which
failed to maintain to the end the buoy
ancy that marked the trade early in the
week while the bad effects of continuous
drought were stiIl being feared.

Mystery of the Disappearance of Costly

Express companies ct St. Paul have
discovered a clever swindle By which they
have lost large amount of money and
which has been shroaded in mystery for
q long time. The man who is being look
ed for is known by so many names that II
has not yet been ascertained what his
right name Is or who he is. He Is a
chemist by profession, and Ii is by the
knowledge Of this art that he has man
aged TO operate his swindle. lie would
appear in New York at one OF the local
express offices with a ackage valued at
$4,000, which he ordAr rs sent TO some
rart CT the States. lie then follows the
package TO the place OF its destination,
r'Nsre, under a different name he will
appear as the party to whom the pack
age was sent. The package is looked for,
but notwithstanding the fact that 1t is
registered on the books it is not to be
recovered. The sender then returns TO
New York, where he presents claims for
loss of valuable property sent in care OF
the company. Ii has been discovered
that, instead of placing property Of value
in the box, 1t contains "A consumptlve
chemical preparation which so entirely
destroys the covering of the parcel and
everything in it that not trace is to be
found. This has occurred a number Of
times. and from certain indications il
would appear that he is not alone in his
operations, as a number of times the
package has been called for by woman.
