WHEAT SITUATION

There is Q difference of opinion
regarding the available supply of
wheat on hand and the forcing
up of the price thereof. Secre-
tary Of Agriculture Wilson takes
the ground that the wheat on
March 1st was about 143, 900, 900
bushels, or 214 per centum of the
amount produced last year, and
thus the necessity for higher
prices is not real. He makes the
point, further, that when the
price of wheat was forced up in
1898 to $1.85 the price was de-
pressed during the following
year to IS cents, and that the
same situation is probable to fol-
low next year. He maintains
that the present price is fictitious
and that the farmers are not to
be the benefciaries of the present
movement. In the meantime the
price of wheat and -four has gone
up, and in London there is a
marked increase in price Of the
individual loaf of bread. The
secretary insists that the gam
blers are responsible for the
present situation.
On The other hand James "A.
Patten, the Chicago wheat man.
ipulator, retorts by saying that
the situation in respect to the
supply of wheat is as he has set
ferth, that Secretary Wilson is
wrong, and that the manipulation
himself was warranted in taking
advantage of a state of affairs
that others do not appear to
realize. In Chicago some of the
smaller bakers have suspended
business, short.weight bread is
being sold, the millers-rather |
contradictory sort of thing-are
offering prizes for the statesmen
who get rid of the greatest bulk
Of flour. In fact some of the
millers are said to be unable to
get rid of their stocks and are
giving prizes not only to their
statesmen but with each sack of
-four are Offering premium cou-
pons exchangeable for groceries
to that amount.
One miller denies that there is |
now an acute demand for -four. |
"but rather imitation and manipu.
lation. are doing the mischief. |
Another representative of a big
mllllng company says the wheat |
crop is short, and that ''the days |
of cheap -four and cheap bread |
are over" Thomas Lawson of |
Boston has called for the perse-
cution Of the spectators in
wheat, but Chicago man gives |
It as his opinion that Lawson is
"short lot and viii say about
anything that will bring the
prices down.
With these conflicting views ON
the subject the consumers have1
nothing to do. They are ia.

That the Washington Fairgrounds AS

Of the police regulations by maintaining

cant lot at First street and New York
avenue northwest is the opinion OF Cor
poration Counsel Thomas
The question involving the rights Of
Fairgrounds was put 10 the Commission
ers by z. Collier. Of lis New York ave
nue. northwest. who cites the recently en-
acted police regulation which provides
that no vacant lot shall be used for any
kind Of amusement without the consent
Of three-fOurths Of the residents in the
block IN which tho vacant lot is located
and IN the confronting block"
In so far as the Fairgrounds are es-
tablished under the authority OF Con-
gress, the corporation counsel told the
Commissioners. "even II within the terms
OF the regulation. the latter IS inopera-
tive, because the Commissioners have no
power 10 set aside an act OF Congress.
IF private persons established plav-
grounds the word amusement NAV be
In such cases within the strict terms OF
the regulation.
The spirit OF the regulation does not
/ IN my opinion. reach the case OF plav-
grounds. particularly those established
