MAKES A LONG SEARCH FOR SON.
Aged Woman Meets with Bitter pissppoint.
ment After Weary HUNT,

For a quarter of a century Mrs. Ellen
McGrcgor Of Binghamton. y. Y, has
been searching for her lost son. only to
learn that he is dead. Mrs. McGrcgor
is 40 years old. and her early life was
one Of hardship. Twcnty-six years ago
she was living in Cleveland. Her hus-
band was thrifty workman. and they
had son . years old. Then the husband
died, leaving the family without means.
Mrs. McGrcgor was obliged to place the
boy In an orphan home in Cleveland in
the fall Of 1876, receiving a promise that
the boy would be kept for few months,
when she hoped to be able to take him
back. At the expiration of the time she
called at the institution for the child,
aud was told it had been sent away.
Where. she says, she could not learn
Heart.broken, she began her long search.
Every cent she earned was devoted to
this purpose and several friends inter.
ested themselves. but no trace of the
missing lad was found. Recently she
heard that Capt. Campbell of the Amer.
lean Volunteers had come from Clevc.
land. and she applied to him. lie wrote
to the Cleveland Humane Society. and
finally learned the boy had been adopted
by Charles Il. Robert of Salem. Ohio.
Inquiry In Salem resulted In the receipt
by Mrs. McGrcgor of photograph of
her son and the information that he had
died from hip disease. The sorrowful
ending of the pathetic search which the
devoted mother had made her life work
resulted In severe shock. which it Is
feared will terminate seriously.

WHEAT EXPORTS ARE LARGE.
Brodstreet's Review OF Trade Reports
Heavy Shipments Of Leading Cereals.

Bradstrect's says: Wheat has appar-
entity discounted the good crop reports,
and better export buying of both wheat
and flour Is reflected In the change from
a bcarish to a more cheerful tone In that
cereal. The gain in price, however. Is a
slight one. The slight decline In corn Is a
result Of Chicago manipulation. The high
price Of late has tended to restrict the
heretofore heavy shipments abroad.
Wheat Qncluding four shipments for the
week aggregate 6,405,8 01 bushels, against
4,60S.693 last week, 2.9S6.6j3 bushels In
the corresponding week of 1000, 1881
C19 In 1890 and 4.425.3 In 1903. From
July to date this season wheat exports
are 162, 22S,O20 bushels. against 53,01G,.
2SG last season and 100, 49,, 410 In 1895
