Current developments have been
oIoro the line of weakness in specula-

u,bAat from the southwest have sent
II markets tumbling to the extent OF
about cents during the week, and the
nress1lre does not seem to nave been
relieved as yet. with apparent pros
meets of placing the situation in this
country in line with that of the prln-
cinal importing markets of the world.
There ought to be fair returns upon
this basis for the producer, because
of the fact that the world enters the
new crop year with comparatively bare
granaries, and only an average out
turn. but the heavy premiums main
tanned in this country for the, past year
will doubtless be eliminated, since we
will again have a fair export surplus,
even upon the basis of the most con-
sentative estimates of the production.
The weather in the Northwest has
again been favorable, and large areas
have been fully assured of an i'm
menSe harvest, while there is every
reason to believe that 10000. 900 BUSH
els for Washington alone this year will
be secured.

SUEDEN-NORW4Y UNION.
Negotiations Regarding Dissolution
May Be Broken off.

karlstad, Sweden, Sept 2.-The Swedish and
Norwegian delegates appointed TO discuss the
dissolution of the union between Sweden and
Norway continued their deliberations to-day.
The session lasted until 5:15 p. m. Absolute
secrecy was observed in regard to the proceed
ings
1t is said that al the session of September l
the Swedish delegates took the stand that they
were treating with the Norwegian delegates not
in their capacity as representatives of the gov
eminent in existence but as representa-
tives of the ca binet appointed by King Oscar,
thus emphas sizing the fact that Sweden does not
recognize Norways claim that the union has
already been dissolved. This is denied by Nor
wegians here but the report is published by the
''Aftenrosten'' of Christiania. s-t
The Swedish delegates are assisted by three
military experts
The feeling here this evening is that if the
conference fails to reach an agreement within
week the negotiations likely TO be suddenly
broken off. "
The Norwegian delegates are not as optimistic
as they were on their arrival here.
Premier Nicholson, of Norway, predicts That
the negotiations will perhaps last for weeks

The Leyland liner Virginian, which went
ashore Yesterday at Crane Island, below Quebec
day Her agents here say that they still hope
to save the steamer.
Reports from points along the river tell Of
one of the worst fogs and smoke pals in many
years. The forest fires raging for miles along
either shore or the lower st. Lawrence have
spread dense cloud of smoke over the country
which added to the fog makes navigation espe-
ciafly difficult and dangerous. Word reached
the pilots office here to-day that all big liners
were advised TO anchor at Battiscan. above the
stranded Allan liner. while vessels In the lower
river have been advised to move very warily-
The fog and smoke still hang over the river
this afternoon and three Liverpool liners due
here this morning are detained indefinitely

supposed that derivation in that old civilization
