GRAIN CROPS IN EUROPE.
Recent Reports Are to the Effect That
General Conditions Are
Favorable.

The European grain markets are at
present chiefly ruled by news regarding
the condition of the crops. The local
press, however, notes as curious fact
that the European markets are inf1u-
enced by American news to a much
smaller degree than heretofore. This,
they claim, is due to the fact that the
European markets co not rely for their
supplies mainly on the American re-
ceipts.
They claim that during recent week,
for instance, the imports of wheat from
Argentina amounted to 116,300 tons;
from Russia $500 tons; while the i'm
ports from the United States amounted
to only $4,000 tons, which is less than
the combined imports from Australia
and India. amounting to $4,000 tons.
They argue that the quantities afloat
from Argentina, Australia and India ap-
pear sufficient to supply the further I'm
port demands of the European markets,
and that consequently the late rises in
New York for early delivery, which they
attribute to manipulations in Chicago,
will have no influence on the European
markets.
AS regards the state Of the growing
crops in Europe, the recounts of the con-
dition of the wheat crop in Austria Hun
gary are Of a favorable nature, which
applies to both the summer and winter
crops. In a few instances complaints
were received from Bohemia about the
undue amount of rain; while in Hun
gary, in some districts, more moisture is
needed. These complaints, however, do
not amount anywhere to any serious
apprehensions respecting the condition
of the crops.
AS regards the rye crops, the re-
ports are less favorable. Almost from
all quarters complaints are loud re-
specting the present state of the crops.
1t is claimed, however, that the damage
is not of such nature that it might not
be remedied by subsequent favorable
weather.
The reports from Germany, France
and England are also said to be satisfac-
tory. In Russia the crop reports are
quite generally favorable, especially in
the southern districts, where the show
cry weather of the last weeks proved
beneficial for the winter crop and facil-
itated operations in the fields for the
summer crops.

AMERICAN RICE IN CUBA.
Demand Steadily Increasing and q
Monopoly Of the Market
Assured.

The introduction of American rice
into the Cuban trade has had an au-
spicious beginning, and the statesmen
who are introducing it confidently pre-
dict that within a year American rice
will supply half the Cuban demand for
this staple article of food and with
in two years will have practically a
monopoly of the market. There are
many logical reasons why this should
be so, among the most potent Of
which are the nearness of the Amer
lean rice fields to the Cuban market
the various lines of transportation be-
tween gulf ports and Cuba, the exist
ence Of reciprocal trade relations be-
tween the two countries, and an
earnest desire on the part of the Gu
ban merchants to buy food products
Of the United States.
Perhaps in no country in the world
does rice enter into the daily con-
sumption of food to a greater extent
than in Cuba. Here all classes con-
sumo it. Indeed, among the peasantry,
or country people, where wheat bread
is scarcely used at all, rice is YER
itably the "staff of life" 1t is eaten
at every meal, and no one knows bet
ter than the Cuban housewife its
varied and acceptable uses.
1t has long been the custom with
the provision houses of Cuba to pur-
chase their rice in Hamburg and Liv-
erpool, but they are now showing a
disposition to buy nearer home, espe-
cially in view of the fact that the
cultivation of rice is rapidly becoming
one of the leading industries in GER
tain of the gulf states, and in view
OF the further consideration that the
Cuban consumer, as he becomes ac-
quainted with the superior quality of
American rice, prefers it to the rice
OF India, China or Japan. In the
comparatively small sales thus far
made of American rice in Cuba, it has
given universal satisfaction, the peo
pie claiming that it possesses a richer
flavor and greater nutriment than the
eastern rice.
If the rice growers of South Caro-
lima, Louisiana and Texas will make
determined effort now to capture the
Cuban trade, they should, with prox-
unity to the market and preferential
tariff in their favor, have little diff
Guilty in winning against European
competition. The time is propitious.

White Sulphur Springs, w. Va. Aug.
1S-Henry G. Davis Wednesday was
formally notified of and formally ac-
cepted his nomination by the demo
cratic party for vice president of the
United States. The ceremony took
place in the open air in the grounds
of Green Brier White Sulphur Springs

in every detail. Mr.. Davis was escort
ed to the flag draped platform at 1 80
o'clock in the afternoon by Represen-
tative John Sharp Williams, of Mis-
sissippi, who delivered the notification
address. An invocation by Rt Rev.
DR.. w. L. Gravatt, of the Episcopal
diocese of West VirVinia, preceded Mr..
Williams, who occupied an hour in
speaking. 1t took Mr.. Davis ten min
utes TO read his formal acceptance,
but he prefaced this with a heart to
heart talk of like duration to the sew
eral thousand friends and neighbors
VINO we're gathered under the trees as
his audience. Senator Daniel, OF. Vir-
ginia, was forced to acknowledge a
demand for speech but declined hap
PLY and at 3:25 o'clock the ceremony
ended.
Earlier in the day formal letter of
notification was handed Mr.. Davis in
the parlor of the hotel in the presence
Of the assembled notification commit
tee. 1t was simple statement of the
action of the st. Louis convention with
reference to his nomination. He took
the letter without reading it and
thanked the committee, saying he
would respond later in the day and
hoped for victorious response in No
yember.
A reception and cotillion in honor
of the nominee was held in the hotel
i'll the evening.
The day was a perfect one. The
sun shone throughout and the pure air
of the mountains stirred gently into
cooling breezes. The scene of the
ceremonies was ideally picturesque.
Two huge oaks mingled their branches
directly over the platform of the speak
ers. Four others in a semi-circle in

lawn on all sides and the erection of a
sounding board back Of the stand made
speech easy and the acoustics good.
As background for the whole were
the surrounding Alleghenies forested
in green.
Mr. Davis was the center of interest
throughout the day. When it came
his time to respond to the notification
address he was kept standing some
minutes while the audience expressed
its enthusiasm This affected Mr.. Da-
Wis.
To the strains Of Dixie" and med
ley of patriotic airs, the assemblage
dispersed; not, however, until many
of its members had mounted the plat
form and extended personal congratu-
lations to the candidate The invited
guests, including those in Mr.. Davis
private party, who occupied a roped
off reservation on the left, were the
first to shake the senator's hand. Mr.
Davis will remain at White Sulphur
until Friday, when he will return to
his home at Elkins. His plans for the
campaign have not been fully matured.

THE democratic press is taking for it's
party great credit for the introduction
of the Australian ballot by the democratic
legislature, and is likening the proposed
primary reform" to it. 1t is quite
long time since the changes in Michigan
election methods were made, and the
people are prone to forget, and the dem
ocratic press are relying upon this fact
in the extravagant claims they are max.
ing. The great thing in the election
changes was the booth system and the
secret ballot, the first law for which was
enacted in Michigan by republican leg
islature in 1889. OF course the law was
TO an extent experimental, as the booth
system was new, and the law was very
naturally found imperfect when put into
practical operation. The next legislature,
that of 1891, was democratic and it fell
to it's lot TO make some changes tending
10 perfect the law enacted 10 1889 and
the introduction of the Australian bal
lot. with the names of all candidates
under proper party headings on one
ticket was one of the needed steps But,
as we said before, the Introduction of
the secret ballot was the great thing,
and to republican legislature belongs
the credit of it. Like the booth system
ID years ago, the matter of primary cleo.
lions is in crude and experimental
stage, and any law enacted by a legisla-
ture of any party next winter will be
found defective in practical operation.
The republican party stands for con-
servative primary law, one that will give
the system fair test and from the work

as the people shall ultimately demand,
will come in due time. The democratic
party stands for radical, revolutionary
