CORN

Market for corn has been inclined
toward ffrmness in the past weeks
trading. The rather liberal rains of
the past few days while relieving the
late corn to certain extent, were
nevertheless too late to help the early
corn. The bears who predicted that
receipts would increase this week,
have switched and are now arrayed
on the buying side, on the failure of
arrivals to show any material tendency
in that direction. For the present we
believe that it will be largely a ques-
ton of weather in this market. The
greater part of the corn country has
undoubtedly received sufficient rain
to carry the corn that is not too far
gone. out of danger for the time being,
but it must not be forgotten that in
the course of its growth, the plant
has to encounter not only the posi-
bilities of damage from extreme heat,
but also what might arise from pre-
mature cold of no great intensity.
The heated term is not bridged en-
tirely and the other is still matter
of possibly six weeks farther extern
sion into it's immature condition. In
the meanwhile there will be plenty
of sharp breaks and equally sharp
rallies and we think that purchases on
the breaks will prove very profitable
for quick scalps or for permanent in

A Famous Newspaper Man.

William E. Curtis, the famous cor
respondent of the Chicago Record
Herald, writes two-column letter for
his paper every day in the year with
out intermission. His powers of sus-
tanned work are as great a marvel
as his faculty of always making his
matter interesting. Probably no other
newspaper correspondent in the coun-
try is read SO regularly and eagerly
by so many thousands of men and
women as Mr.. Curtis. Mr.. Curtis has
travelled several. times around the
world. visiting every country under
the sun, and writing larger number
OF brilliant and interesting letters of
travel than were ever before pro-
duced by single hand. Many of
these have later been reprinted in
book form. One Of his latest expedi-
tons for the Record-Herald was
through Mexico, resulting in a series
OF letters as entertaining as those he
wrote few years ago from India,
Turkey and the Holy Land. His forth
coming letters from Ireland, Russia
and Germany will rival in Importance
and interest any of his previous con-
tributions. Beginning his career in
Chicago as a reporter in 1872, Mr..
Curtis rapidly rose to be managing
editor. He resigned that position to
accept government appointment as
secretary of the South American COM
mission. So brilliantly did he per-
form the duties of this Office that
James G. Blaine, secretary of state,
placed him at the head of the bureau
of American republics. At the worlds
fair In Chicago he distinguished him
self as the executive head of the Latin
American department. He is a men,
Der of almost every learned society
in Washington and of many in Europe.
1t is not strange that the Record
Herald prints Mr.. Curtis letter every
day in. the first column of the front
page, and that nothing but California
earthquake can displace it from that
station of honor,

WHEAT

The decline in wheat has been
checked and a rally is now in progress.
The heavy short selling and the throw
Ing over of long wheat webelieve is
over for time at least. The heavy
rains of the past week in the north
west have caused considerable actual
damage by lodging and laying wheat
fiat. The winds following these rains
have been responsible for a lot of
broken stalks and shelling There are
also grave fears now lest we have a
wet harvest. In such an event. there
would undoubtedly be lot of grain
lost by rotting, mildewing and sweat
ing.
There has been any number of re-
liable estimates made of the northwest
crop this year and with but one or two
exceptions, they have figured the
spring wheat crop at from 10000, 900
under to 100000 over last year.
From our numerous private reports,
we would place the spring wheat
yield at about 2O0,000,OOO bushels or
the same as last year.
Snow, the eminent Chicago statis-
tician says that the condition of the
spring wheat on August LIST was S6.2
against 1874 July LIST. He says the
decrease is mostly confined to the
Dakotas where the rust and the failure
of stools to produce vigorously caused
the lowering of the previous estimates.
The statistical news is also little
more inclined to be bullish also. The
visible supply east of the Rockies ac-
cording to. Bradstreet last week, in
creased but 1,57s,000 bushels, while
Europe's stocks decreased 100000
bushels, making the grand worlds
stocks increase but $4,000 bushels,
against last weeks increase of 1885,
900 bushels.
The worlds shipments of wheat con-
tinue very small with America furnish
ing the largest contribution by far.
Last week they were only S,640,0OO
bushels against 7,S72.O00 bushels the
previous week and 9.00S,0O bushels
year ago. The amount of wheat on
ocean passage again showed a big

FLAX

Trading in fax has been very limit
ed. About the only feature in the
past week has been the covering of
disguised shorts, who have become
discouraged and closed their trades
and transferred their active operations
to the grain pits.
Receipts are large, being several
times those of year ago. Stocks are
increasing everywhere. Crop reports
continue excellent and the late rains,
that have hurt the chances of wheat
and oats, have been of great benefit
to fax.
The linseed oil business is at
standstill and prices for oil are de-
Ginning steadily.
With continuance of present fine
promises for the growing crop and
no improvement in domestic demands
for the seed, we believe that prices
will work considerably lower.

decrease and now totals only $685.
900 bushels against 1882 900 bushels
the previous week, and 34,45O,OOO
bushels the year before.
A Chicago newspaper has the follow
ing to say about the Russian situation:
The famine now existing in twenty
four provinces is verv calamitious,
and 100000 to 20,O0O,OOO people
must be fed, and that the government
must also furnish them seed for next
year. This authority also states over
the signature of its Russian cores
pondent, that the total yield of the
fifty provinces of Russia last year was
less than so per cent of normal, and
that this year, according to official re-
turns. it will be smaller. He adds
that these terrible facts have been
successfully concealed both from the
emperor and the public.
Large as were the weekly require
ments abroad last year, they are said
to be exceeded by something lik 1OO,-
100000 bushels the season now entered
upon.
Argentine is not likely to supply
more than an average of 100000
bushels weekly from now to January
LIST next, India not above 1000 900
bushels, the Danubian countries, which
have excellent crops this year, prob
ably 100000 bushels. and Russia,
which came close to keeping up an
average of 100000 bushels weekly
last year, might easily be wiped out
of the account entirely for the season,
under the present political condition
in that uncertain empire Australia
need hardly be included, as that coun-
try's supply is giving evidence of prac-
teal exhaustion. but If 1t should sup
ply 100000 bushels weekly, the total
thus suggested exclusive of America
and Russia would amount to only
4,75O,000 bushels.
The worlds weekly shipments from
August 9Th last year to December 3Oth,
averaged 11,25O,O00 bushels which
was entirely absorbed by the import
ing nations, SO that without including
the very large additional supplies, they
are reported to require this year, there
remains 6,775,O00 bushels to be fur
nished by America and Russia, and
