LOOKS FOR BULL PRICES IN
WHEAT.

H. V. Jones, in the Commercial
West, predicts a strong wheat market
the remainder of the year. He says:
"The Commercial West is holding
to the theory that the United States
will produce about $50, 600, 900 bushels
of wheat this year, based on present
expectations, and that this crop does
not warrant lower than 70 cents as
base price of September wheat IN
Chicago. The above amount is the
total announced by this paper on May
1 as the crop that, in its judgment,
conditions warranted; but govern
ment figures at the time called for
about $50, 900, 900 bushels, and some
private estimates were given a little
stronger than that. Both the govern
ment and private estimates have re-
duced their figures now to about the
ESQ, 600, 900 crop, lowering the con-
dition on account of flood damages;
in other words they have relieved the
market of 100, 900, 900 bushels of
imaginary wheat.
In the view of this paper the floods
in the Southwest did but little damage
to wheat and we do not lower condi-
tion on that account. In fact, the
condition, according to u advices,
has been we'll maintained in the
Southwest since May l.; the weak
nesses were in the main apparent
May 1.
In the general way consumption has
overtaken production the world over,
so much that the bear is the n who
%"runs'' now, not the bull. It has
been SO for a year, and the indications
are that 1t will be so for the year to
come. It is not safe to venture to
sell grains at present prices or the
theory that large profits will be secur-
ed. The inevitable reactions will
come; indeed, wheat prices may sag
two or three cents, but that will not
alter, in our judgment, the hardening
tendency in the market throughout
the year.
Europe will apparently have to buy
about so, 900, 600, bushels more of wheat
and flour than last year. This will
equalize the crops of Europe and
America and leave them about on
the relative basis of last year. The
Pacific coats is not going to produce
heavily, so that if Australia and
Africa need supplies, the price situa-
ton in the United States will be
strengthened accordingly.
The Northwest spring wheat states
Of America are promising a nice crop
of wheat, but July 4 will be early
enough to check up prospects dein-
itely. In Canada there is a drouth in
the eastern districts that may in some
degree effect the prospective increase
of Is, 600, 900 bushels in western
Canada.
The "cinch'' enjoyed by the bear
for many years in selling produce
J futures has passed to be followed by
the day OF the bull. It will continue
until a new record crop is raised.

Turks Plan to Accomplish Their To-
tai Extirpation.
According to a Sofia telegram the
Turkish repressive measures in Macedo-
MIA have reached the utmost limits of
barbarism and it is evident that it is
the intention to accomplish by degrees
the total extirpation of the Bulgarian
population.
Within the last few days, aays a cor
respondent, twelve more Christian vii
lagos have been handed over to fire and
sword and the women, children and the
aged have been massacred indiscrimi-
nately. Conveys of prisoners dispatched
to Monastir have been murdered by
their escorts on the way.
A private letter from a foreign resi-
dent in Monastir says even the local
Turks are disgusted and mediate assas-
sinating the consuls in order to awaken
European Intervention.
The insurgents are doubtless taking a
terrible revenge and arc executing the
revolutionary program to the letter. The
reported concentration of large Turkish
forces in the Adrianoplc district ut Mus
tafa-P Pasha. Kzylagach and other points
on the Bulgarian frontier is regarded
with much apprehension in Sofia, as it
Is well known that in case Of war an in
vasion would occur from this direction.
According to reports from CONSTANT
1ople a rumor was current that war had
already been declared against Bulgaria.
1t was proved to be unfounded, but the
state of popular feeling is said to be such
that no other issue is regarded as possi-
bic.
Ii is further stated that although the
Russian squadron was withdrawn from
Inada it continues to cruise near the
Bospor,ls.
The insurgents in the Debr district are
said to be destroying the villages and
numbering their inhabitants.

Lon Dillon Breaks the Worlds Recor,
at Readville, Mass.

Lon Dillon Breaks the Worlds Record
at Readville, Mass.
This year is destined to remain memor-
able in the history of the horse. Not
only has the running record been broken,
but the pacing record, thanks to the
achievement of. that nimble and willing
animal Dan Patch, has been broken. Now
comes the news of still more extraOrdi-
nary performance in the announcement
that at Readville, Mass, Lou Dillon
trotted a mile In two minutes.
Lou Dillon, owned by G. X. &. Bill
lings of Chicago, is the new worlds trot-
ting champion. having displaced the
great Cresceus in her trial against time
at Readville. So easily did the little
mare perform her work tlrat it Is the
universal opinion of harness-horee men
and possibly she can come close to the
harness record of 1:59 made by the PAGER
Dan Patch.
No one who has paid even cursory at
.ention to the development of the horse
needs to be told what this announcement
means to the horse breeders of the world
For nearly a century the speed record
for trOtting horses has been slowly low
cred, each decade seeing a few seconds
Topped off from the three-minute record,
which was deemed fast at the beginning
of the nineteenth century. Fifty years
ago the fact that a speed of a mile in
two and n half minutes was obtainable
was accepted with surprise and elation.
The extraordinary fame won by Maud
E. In 1885 was due to the fact that she
had reduced the trotting record below
2:10. For many years Maud SIS record
of mile in 2:0S% represented the limit
of speed obtainable by trotters, and from
ing horse which would cut the record
to two minutes has been in the minds of
horseraen throughout the world.
While The Abbot and, later, Cresceus
succeeded in cutting the record still fur
ther, 1t has remained for the heet-footed
Lou Dillon to take the honor of making
the fist two-minute record. The possi-
bility of trotting a mile in two minutes
is no longer in dispute. 1t is an accom-
plished fact. The only question now is
whether some still speedier animal may
not l4p a few more seconds off the rec
ord and thus establish new goal for the
ambition of the horse fancier. The steady
Increase in the speed of trotters to be
noted during the century in which the
one-raile record was lowered by fifty
nine seconds may not seem of much utili-
tarian Importance at first glance, but the
truth is that it has been accomplished
by a general improvement in horses. The
twO-ninute trotter stands as proof that
stronger. sounder, swifter animals are
harnassed to all manner of horse drawn
vehicles to-day than those that worked
for man in past generations.
