Gold and Wheat.

Further large gold export engagements

gold from Australia to this country were
reported, covering an aggregate of about
$3.50, 900. to arrive at San Francisco with
In about three weeks. Further consign-
ments are looked for, and direct engage
ments of the metal from France to this
country are considered among the early
probabilities. The point is made that
Raris is in a position to part with the
metal more readily than London.
The total transactions aggregated
ever /. LOG, 600 shares. almost exactly one
seventh of the record being contributed
by Missouri Pacific. That stock estab-
lished an extreme advance of 21a per
cent, the greater part of which was re-
tanned at the close. Independent of the
combination rumors, the strength of
Missouri Pacific and Wabash was partly
attributed to the returns of the Missouri
State board of agriculture, showing a
condition Of 102 for the corn crop. A
little over year ago at this time, even
after an Improvement of per cent, the
State report placed the condition of corn
at S2 per cent of par crop.

yond the reports of traffic arrangements

Crestone Is the youngest Of
Colorado gold mines, Active de-
velopment has been in progress
in the camp for only two years,
but within that brief period the
value Of the district as a perma-

boon proved beyond the dream
of avarice. One mine, the Inde-
pendent, has already been devel-
oped to a point where the annual
output Of gold ore amounts to
over one.half million dollars. But
better than gold mine is good
