VIEWS OF HENRY CLEWS.

Special to the Register.
NEW YORK, Oct. Pin my recent
weekly advices, I have noted that there
was a strong bullish undertone pervad-
ing the stock market, with only two ad-
verse factors in sight-namely. the
uncertainty concerning the immediate
future of the money market and the
Presidential election-which tended to
moderate buying operations until those
uncertainties were mitigated. Circum-
stances have neutraliZed these OBJ
stacleS sooner than was expected.
Within the last two weeks opinion has
become much more positive as to the
chances for success in the elections
for the sound money candidate, which
naturally is a very strong element in
favor of the value of securities. and
the money market has become more as
sured under the abatement of shipments
of currency to the interior, and also
owing to the liberal Influx of gold from
other %countries;so that the possibility
of inconvenjently active money con-
tinuing no longer excites serious mis-
givings; although the loan market has
been active throughout the week and
the rate OF interest has been drmer.
owing to the increasing demand from
the Stock Exchange.
Under these circumstances. those
who have expected a bull" campaign
after the election have anticipated their
intended later buying. LEARNS oQer-

ators have rushed into the market, and
outsiders having, followed their cue,
the market mas been 1AAen SAewhar-
by surprise, and prices have risen so
rapidly that some of the professionals
have adopted the expedient of taking
profits in order to produce a reaction
that would enable them to get their
stocks back at lower prices. These
tactics have Eeen recently partially
successful. Following the wonted tao
tics of skilled operators, realizing prof
its was quite natural after the recent
big advance. No doubt, that cours
will be more or less adopted On all
the big rallies between o and the
coming election: but it is perhaps by
N means certain hat the effect of
such realizing would be a general and
severe reaction in prices. 1t is more
than possible that a public verdict con-
s~olidating a sound money policy may
excite a public enthusiasm which will
bring in an outside buying movement
sufficient to absorb all stocks for the
realization of profits.
Present conditions are promising for
a healthy state of business for the
remainder of the year. Whilst there
is nothing like the speculative excite
ment in the merchandise markets that
existed a year ago, there is really a
more healthy tone in the principal
branches of trade. The return of iren
to normal prices has set in operation
a large extent of suspended industry,
and the iron masters are feeling the
benefit in a large increase of orders.
The South anticipates a banner year
In the cotton trade, and the West
shows its hopes in its large purchases

and salaries are being reduced in many
cases where they were considered ex-

being discharged. All this will tend
to increase the net earnings in the flu

SHELLS NOT EFFECTIVE.
Long Range Rifles Do Much More
Damage Than Heavy Ar
tillery.

Lyddite, we are told, was to carry
all before it. The concussion of the
air caused by the bursting of lyddite
shell would kill 40 or so men. / never
believed this, says a writer in London
Truth, as, if it had been true, evident
~ somebody ought to be hanged for
not having more lyddite guns in South
Africa. So, too, in regard to the heaps
of dead in the Boer trenches, | axn told
that these trenches are held by men
placed at so great IA distance from each
other that no shell can kin more than
two. AS soon as a man is killed anoth-
er comes from some safe shelter and
takes his place, If this be so, it will
account for the bayonet charge being
generally successful, for the Beers
cannot be said TO be poltroons, and /
never could make out why, if they
were ready to stand and be shot, they
fled at The sight of bayonets.
Letters from officers say that neither
our shells nor those OF the Beers do so
much mischief as was anticipated, and
that the best defense of an intrenched
position is not cannon, but rifles. A
Roer generally has about $50
cartridges. If the necessity arises he
can fire away the whole lot IN a few
minutes, but he can always be trusted
to remain sufficiently cool not to throw
them away. and TO calmly wait until
his opponents come within about 80
yards of the trench which is to be car
ried. If he perceives that II will be
carried, he falls back on second
trench, and fires from there. There is
no fuss or bravado about him. His idea
is to hold an intrenched position with
as little risk to his own skin as posi-
bic. This may not be very chivalrous
mode Of warfare, but 1t is terribly
practical one.

Executed By Proxy.

Vancouver, 3. c., May 1S.-The
steamer Empress of China brings in
formation that punishment has been
meted out to the murderers of mis-
sionary Brooks, although, it is said,
the execution was by proxy.
Fifteen men were tried for the
crime before the provincial judge at
Gilman Flu and C. w. Campbell, Brit
ish Consul. 1t was developed at the
trial that only thre were guilty of the
actual killing. and one of these dealt
the final blow. This one, being most
eulpable in the Chinese criminal code,
was beheaded in the presence of the
British Consul. Another who was just
a shade lighter in guilt, was sentenced
to strangulation at the autumn As
sizes. A third was sentenced to life
Imprisonment and four others to 10
years Imprisonment,
In connection with the punishment
of the Brooks murderers the North
China Daily News has startling
story to the effect that the condemned
men were allowed to purchase substi-
tutes and that for a thousand dollars
two men were procured who agreed to
pay the penalty of death imposed upon
those most directly concerned in the
murder. The man who was to be be-
beheaded paid 5000 for his substitute,
a dissolute opium smoker, who wished
to provide for his family. The mur-
derer condemned to be trangled had to
pa yonly S400 for his substitute.

The YWorlIs WbeM C,Dp
and Omr Foreign Mmkety
The United States Has Greater Percentage of
Production Than Any Other Nation

HUCH has been said of the pos
lHI sibility of Russia capturing the
wheat market of Europe and
the east, TO the detrinent of the coun-
tries of North and South America,
when Siberia had become more fully
developed and the wheat area of that
immense country could be poured
upon European and far eastern mar
kets.
When these predictions were first
made Russia, including Poland, North
Caucasus, Finland, Siberia, Central
Asia and Caucasia, was produc-
ing more wheat than the United
States. At that time 1t seemed as
though the limit of our wheat produc-
ton had been practically reached. 1t
was about 1893 when the statements
of Russia's ability TO capture the
wheat markets abroad were attract
ing the greatest attention, and at that
time Russia was producing greater
quantity of wheat than was grown
In the United States. In fact until
as late as 1894 Russia was producing
the greatest amount of wheat of the
two nations, and n greater amount
than that produced by any other ma
tion. But since that time the two
nations have exchanged places, and
the United States has now stepped
to first place among the wheat-pro-
ducing nations of the world with an
overwhelming difference between the
amount of wheat grown here and in
all of Russia.
In 1898 there was grown in all of
Russia and her dependencies total
of 53s,01s,OOO bushels of wheat, and
during the same year there was
grown in the United States 396, ,O00
bushels. The following year, 1894,
Russia dropped to 506,663,o0O bushels,
while the United States increased its
production to 400, ,267 900 bushels. BY

South American republics. Our eX-
ports of wheat are steadily increas-
ing, and while it is true that the eX-
ports from Chilli and Argentina are
also increasing, the exports from Rus
sia and British India are steadily de-
creasing. In 1860 Russia was selling
TO England practically as much wheat
as we were, while in 1899 we sent to
England 34,65O,G hundredweight of
wheat and Russia sold her during the
same time but 2,51s,S0O hundred
weight out of total of $500, ,97s hun
dredweight that she imported.
In every wheat buying country of
Europe we are finding ready sale
for American-grown wheat at higher
prices than is paid for European
wheat, and in many of the countries
we are supplying greater percent
age of the wheat imports than any
other nation.
DANIEL CLEVERTON,
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1900-05-19

1898 difference in production between
the two countries was nearly 00000,-
coo bushels In favor of the United
States, the exact figures being 675,-
10000 bushels in the United States.
and 49s, 100000 bushels for Russia. In
the same year the United States pro-
duced 23.4 per cent. of all the wheat
grown in the world, while Russia pro-
duced but 17.3 per cent.
The total of the wheat crop for all
countries during 1896 amounted TO
2,S79,924,OOO bushels. 1t came from
every continent, but comparatively
small amount was grown in Africa,
