WHEAT STILL HIGHER
NEW HIGH PRICE, $1.s5A, is ESTAB
LISHED IN CHICAGO.
Cereal Scars, Notwithstanding Beginning
of Harvest in Three Texas
Counties.

CHICAGO, Ill, May 25.-Private adj
vices received here today stated that
harvesting of wheat had been begun in
three counties of Texas and that the
yield would be fourteen or fifteen bush
els to the acre on an average. II. e.
Rycroft, a Chicago expert, however, de-
clared that this estimate was so per
cent too high, as prolonged drought in
the Lone Star state precluded such
yield.
The announcement did not affect prices
in Chicago materially. as May wheat on
the board of trade early sold at new
high price, $1.35A. The first garnering
of wheat each year begins in Texas at
about this season and is of Importance,
chiefly as marking the beginning of the
general harvest, sweeping in gradually
broadening path north with the advance
of the season through the great winter
wheat belt. From now on the hum OF
harvesting machinery will gradually
swell week by week into the great mid.
summer chorus of the Ohio and Missouri
valleys.
This great forest of grain when har-
vested will leave an immense held of
stubble, approximately 45,OOO,OOO of
acres The latest completed statistics
made the yield 634,OS7 900 bushels in
the United States in 1907. A similar
yield this year would net, roughly about
that number Of dollars. However in
many quarters it is asserted that this
years harvest will be under 6OO,OOO,OOO
1t is of interest in connection with the
news from Texas to note that the course
of the worlds harvesting calendar strikes
this country in mid-year. The worlds
harvest begins in January in the latitude
of Australia, New Zealand, Chile and
the Argentine, sweeps through Egypt,
India, Mexico, Cuba and Asia Minor UNI
til in May it takes in Texas, Central
Asia, Japan and China. Thus it works
it's way through the worlds fertile spots
until in December it finds itself back
near the beginning point in Burma and
New South Wales.
Even though the Texas returns never
equal in Importance those of the purely
wheat states. and may be far under nor
NAL this year, the fact that harvesting
has begun as usual affects the great
point at issue between the bulls and
bears of the Chicago wheat pit: VIII
July be an old or a new crop month?
I'm July. Chicago will be buying the
wheat of the previous year., is a state
ment made by James A. Patten at the
height of his bull campaign. On this
point, Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
took issue with the big speculator and
both finally left the controversy for
time to tell"
The news from Texas, therefore, is the
first word of what the umpire, Thine, !"
has to say on the subject.

Living Expenses in India.

The increased cost Of living in India
generally and in Calcutta particularly,
writes our correspondent, is severely felt
not only by European but also by In
trebled and even Quadrupled. Ten years
ago a family of half a dozen persons
could live in fair comfort for 1900 a
year, excluding extras. With nothing less
than $500 can one live in the same way
now. This is recognized by the govern
ment, and the salaries of subordinate
officials have been revised. Domestic
servants wages have increased enor-
mouSIy. \ good cook cannot be had for
less than f40 a year, whereas half that
sum was considered sufficient ten years

McCumber arguing as strongly against
that policy.
The day closed with more than a two
thirds vote against Senator McCumber's
free lumber amendment, the ballot show

One of the Regulars.

During the encampment of several regi-
ments of British soldiers in a certain dis
trict the wood and turf used for cooking
purposes were carted by the neighborine
farmers. One day a donkey cartful of
turf was brought in, the driver being a
country lad. AS a regimental band was
playing he stood in front of the donkey
and held the animal tightly by the head.
Some of the smart ones" gathered
round highly pleased. and the wit of the
party asked why he held his brother so
lightly
The reply was crushing: I'm afraid

REPUBLICANS

The surprise of the day was the atti-
tude of Senator Dolliver. who heretofore
has stood with the "progressives"
throughout the tariff fight. He today
took positive position against the radical
demand for free lumber, but expressed
the opinion that the industry would not
suffer from a reduction of the Dingley
rates.
Senator Root opened the days pro-
ceedings with an argument in favor of a
differential on dressed lumber.
Senators Borah and Hepburn of Idaho
contended for the highest duty on lum-
Der, and Mr.. Borah entered upon an
argument to show that the policy of pro-
lection is "a system and cannot be
maintained if there are to be constant
exceptions to it as is desired in the in
terest of free lumber.
On the other hand, Senators Clapp and
Burkett argued that lumber can be pro-
duced as cheaply in Canada as in the
United States, and contended that the
lumber industry Of this country would
not be endangered by the free admission
of the Canadian product.
