TERMINAL WHEAT SUPPLIES.

In it's weekly resume Of the wheat
conditions, The Minneapolis Tribune
has the following:
| The amount of wheat in the terminal
markets of the country Is exceptional
ly large and has shown no marked ten
denCy to decrease since the first Of the
year. The domestic consumptive de-
mand continues ut a minimum and
wheat prices have declined to the low
points Of the season.
The large accumulations have enc
couraged speculative short selling in
the belief that domestic prices must go
to an export level and have. at the
same time restricted flour buying be-
cause of the heavy statistics. The bear
trader in the pit is anxious to sell what
he may buy in cheaper tomorrow and
the commercial buyer Is disposed to
wait II he may secure his wants to bet
ter advantage later.
The dead weight OF stocks in the
central markets becomes all the more
formidable because 1t is estimated that
the farmers have still a large amount
Of the 1910 harvest to SELL II would
be most unusual, however IL this bear
ish pressure and commercial apathy,
which has been continuous in the mar
ket since last fall, were to continue
throughout the crop year. The period
OF crop scares is almost at hand and
the time when primary supplies must
meet the larger consumptive call will
decrease these accommodations for the
next five or six months.
Large supplies in the terminal ele-
Yators is no guaranty Of n superabun-
dance. The largest aggregate supply
In recent years was on January /. 1909,
when the domestic visible stocks were
51,759,000 bushels, BY the first OF May
following these had shrunk to 1855, 900
bushels. although the highest prices in
years had been made to attract all the
available wheat BY the latter half of
the following July the visible had
dwindled TO 6,O34.00O bushels.
While that was a time OF strong
speculative excitement, there was every
incentive on the part of the farmer to
sell his wheat as the price was not
only high but was considered largely
speculative. The present trend OF
values is against marketing. There Is
of course, much more wheat in first
hands now than in 1909, but prices,
also, are much lower.

for the seven days from Dec. % to
Dec. 20 the sea should remain calm
while the sea birds built their nests

of the year, are therefore called hal

of very late Indian summer. Here In
America we have no real halcyon

discover that electric light could be
produced by dry battery was Sir
Humphry Davy. who in 1910 exhibited
a light three inches long. between car
Dor points. before the Royal society of
London But no commercial value was
attached to the use of electricity as an
illuminant until more than half a CEN

held in Philadelphia in 1876. really
marks the era of our present form
of electric light. though electric lights
had been in use abroad prior to that
time. The exhibition of models and
practical demonstrations of electric
lights at Philadelphia in 1876 attracted
the attention Of scientists and capital
lists in this country, and the first in
candescent lamps and the first arc
system were put TO practical use In
small way in 1878. The Brush arc
light gained favor in the beginning
as the most adaptable for street light
ing, and Cleveland. o., the home OF
Charles Francis Brush. the inventor,
was the initial American city to adopt
the arc system for street lighting.
