THE MAYOR a CANDIDATE.

From his card to the public" an
nonncing his candidacy for reelection
as mayor of Cairo, il appears that
Mayor Parsons has misread or misin
terpreted a passage in an editorial in
The Bulletin of last Tuesday in
which II was said that he had re.
peatedly declared at the pleasant re-
ceptiOns he has held. that he had no
ambitions for the future, that he felt
he had done his duty to the public
as he saw il and that if the people
indicated that they desired some one
else to fill the office OF mayor during
the next two years he would gladly
step aside"
Ii is hardly fair to draw from this
a positive or unqualified statement or
"intimation," that the mayor would
not be a candidate for re election. II
quoted the mayor correctly, and II
placed him where all good servants
of the people always should stand
subject to the expressed will Of the
people.

EpIGRAMS.

From Sunday Sermon bvRev. II. Preston
Those who profit by the great his
toric charities generally make it a
point of honor to know something
about the founders, and to acknow.
ledge its benefits.
Devotion to Christ and His cause
must be expressed on the very thres-
hold Of discipleship in u~nfaltering
confession, otherwise, there can be no
true obedience to the high noralities
Of His kingdom.
If there be in us no heart for the
further search after Jesus Christ, and
no strong purpose to make Him
known to others, our state is one Of
incipient sin, and is ominous Of com
ing failure.
While sin in the end may involve

man that would take it and go into
the wheat business on a grand sale.
However, we can give our readers
some idea of the situation by giving
some of the statistics complied to date.
Bradstreet reports as follows:
"For the past twenty weeks
of the fiscal year the exports We're 81,
23,504 bushels, against 69,020,020
bushels in 1866 a year ago"
The northwestern wheat crop for
1906, according to the Market Record
was approximately lS7,0O0,0OO bu of
both spring and durum. The amount
of durum raised was placed at $4,000,
600 bu.
The Market Record has just com
piled a summary of the northwestern
wheat situation as ii was on Dec. l5
last. This compilation shows that in
Minnesota and South Dakota about
40 per cent of the 1906 crop of spring
wheat was in farmers hands on that
date, while in North Dakota the
amount held on the farm was 30 per
cent of the crop. These figures are
over and above the amount required
for seed. On the basis of a crop of
1877, 100000 blu. including durum, the
amount of spring wheat in farmers
hands in Minnesota, North and south
Dakota was practically 51,000,0O0 bu
on Dec. Is.
Our readers should remember that
the figures compiled by the Market
Record are based on facts as near as
they are obtainable, and thus are as
reliable as anything in that line.
To keep the mills of the Northwest
grinding until the 1907 crop gets onto
the market will require about $4,000,
600 bushels. With only a probable
stock of 81 millions it will be seen
that the mills, if they run to ordinary
capacity will require considerable
wheat from other sources than the
three spring wheat states of the North
west. This is a strong home situa-
ton, and would naturally raise the
price to some extent. However, much
still depends upon The export de
mand for wheat and -four which is an
unknown quantity. Here is where the
farmer completes with the peasant of
Russia and Spanish dago in Argentine.
The visible supply the first of the
week was reported at 45 ,768,000 bu-
shells against 45,333,OO0 bushels the
same week a year o.
Granting that the foreign demand
will be equal to last years, the situa-
ton looks strong when we remember
that Monday May wheat closed at ia
cents as against 85g cents the same
day last year. To the lay mind it
would seem as if, the stock being
about the same as last year, u cents
was too great a difference in the price
and that we might expect a rising
market. But again enters the posi-
bility of a less export demand.
This is all we know about the pros
poets of wheat. 1t is much or little

the existence of conditions that cause

go with them.
