Among a number of letters which I found
tn my mall this mornlns was one from a
man I had never neon , never heard of , and
wouldn't know If I were to hear him upcali-
IliK nt a political gathering. My friend had
evidently seen my name mentioned as a
"chicken crank , " and concluded I was the
proper person to burden with hln troubles ,
Instead of tolllns them to the police. Here
Is the letter :
KOKOMO. Iml. . Oct. 02 , ISM.-Mr , - ,
Omaha , Noli. : J > oilr Sir I inn 2C years old ,
mid married. Am In the retail shot- busi
ness Unit makes me about JI.WJ u year , but
would much rather hnvo outside work If
I can make n much money. Have been
n "chicken crunk" In a Hmnll way for
nbotit three ycnis , keeping' mostly LlKht
lirnhmiiHvllli first-class success. 1 liuvu
$ .1,000 Invested In thu shou fiuslncss , which
1 can net out nl any time I want lo. Can
I , with that nmouiit of capital , fair Judg
ment , business ability , etc. , make tl.UUO
or more a year ? Or , would you nilvlso
me to sluy win-re 1 mV 1 can buy ton
acres nt the cilgo of town for Jl.OOO. My
Idea has been to ki-i-p l.WO laying htus of
u laying variety , expecting them to net
tno JSW n year. Also , build an Incubator
and brooder house , and turn off from CM )
to 1,000 broilers each spring , Also , snmo
number of ducks as broilers. I think ono
man and myself can do all the work , and
put lip most of the buildings. Do you
regard the plan OH visionary or practical ?
Arc my c.stlmatCH too high , and huvo I got
my Ideas lee large ? Can two men do all
the work ? Is 15,003 enough capital to buy
place and nil ? Are ten acres enough for
what I want ? If you regnrd the plan as
practical , when would b- the best time to
buy the plnc-o ? I want no lost time , for
until I begin to get revenue ( which must
hi > within six months ) , I will , of course ,
have to llvu off my capital. Please an
swer IIH soon IIH possible , as I mean busi
ness. Yours very truly ,
THOMAS JONR3.
As my better half hns gone down town
to look over the latest bargain counters and
select a new. nutnicg grater , and the chil
dren arc all engaged In making mud plow
lor Sunday , I will take my typewriter on
my lap long enough to r.nnwer my friend's
letter and give him something to think over
before laying In a supply of hard coal for
the \vlner.
The chicken business , Mr. Jonrt , Is a good
deal like the "wheel craze , " for when either
one hits a fellow fair and square ho doubles
up llko a pug dog's tall , and nothing but a
dose of sulphur or stick of brlmatonc will
bring htm to his senses In time for his meals.
There are thousands of people today who
have had their weather eye peeled or teeth
punctured by venturing Into the chicken bus
iness under the Impression that the business
can bo managed without an experienced
nurse , ami that any man that can net a
hen can successfully manage n large poultry
plant.
MUST IIR MISTAKEN.
My friend says he Is 20 years old and
Is married , but I am at a loss to understand
why ho did not say how many children
ho had and what Sunday school they at
tended. This Information In absolutely nec
essary , not for publication , but as a guar
antee of good faith and an honest count.
Mr. Jones evidently makes a mistake
when he says he Is In the shoo business ,
with Jfi.COO Invested , which nets him only
$1,000 a year. If that Is all he can make
each year from the amount ho has Invested ,
and In tti" tiXfl business , too , he should
cither clr o the shop , give the shoes away
_ jindiiave to Omaha , or else fall In business
nTTir start over again. The shoe men In
Onitfia , as a rule , can glva him a feu
po/ntcrs about his business and still have
enough left to keep open Saturday nights.
KC prefers "outside work , " If ho can
inakc aa much money as ho now docs. II
ho will get a hustle on himself and gel
here before the election Is over I might
bo able to use my Influence and secure htm
a position where ho would have all the
"outside work" ho craves , and If ho reallj
desired It , ho might be permitted to put his
bed on the roof and sleep tlicro at night ,
which would give him a good chance to
become better acquainted with our cli
mate.
One thing which I admire In my new-found
friend Is that he Is honest enough to admit
ho has been a "chicken crank" In a small
way , which seldom occurs , even In Isolated
cases. People who got the fever generally
break out all over , as In cases of small pox
and the seven-year Itch , and nothing short
of a little bitter experience will afford re
lief.
lief.Tho
The Kokomo gentleman says ho has { 5,000
Invested In the shoo business , which he
can got out at any time. This , If nothing
else , -would Indicate that ho was a very
bhrowd business man , for not ono man In
Omaha can make that statement and pull
out even , even now or later In the winter.
If Mr. Jones can do this In the shoes busi
ness , and wo have It In black and white
that he can , it Is moro than ho can do after
ho Invests that amount In poultry , dead or
alive ,
Ho wishes to know If ho tan make Jl,00 (
or moro a year , with this amount of capital
and a fair amount of business ability. 1
honestly think ho could , provided ho bought
wheat when It was worth at fiC centa per
bushel and had the nerve to dispose of It
when worth $ l.fi2 per bushel. I have heard
of tnt-n who claimed In their circulars am ]
catalogues to have moro than doubled their
money la the poultry business the firs I
year , but when I came to look them up ami
wanted them to sign an affidavit to that ef
fect they always flunked , 'admitting that
they made their money by betting on the
horse tnnt came In 11 rat In the race and thai
they didn't know a Huff Cochin from a sea-
BUll.
DUPRNDS ON CIRCUMSTANCES.
"Would you nilvlso mo to stay where 1
am ? " I certainly would , If you have a
molher-ln-law and llko her better than you
do your wlfo. If , on the other hand , you
llko your wlfo best and your mother-in-law
Insists on your staying whcro she can keep
nn oyu on yon and see that you behave
yourself , tell her " 1 don't think , " and secure
tickets for Nebraska at once , being careful
to purchase a Pullman ticket for yourself
and a second-class ticket for your wlfo , the
latter beln : ; the cheapest.
"I can buy ten acres at the edge of town
for a Jl.OOV ( lood ; that's cheaper than
you can get It near Omaha , and as freight
rates ore real low , you might purchase the
ten acres In Kokomo and bring It out with
you , marking on your bill of lading , "Jones
pays the ficlght. "
"My Idea has been to keep 1,000 hens of
n laying variety , expecting them to net mo
J800 a year. " This Is exactly what I ex
pected when I had the fever , but I soon
found that I had the hens on the wrong
nests , and my calculations wcro all knocked
In the head , numbered among the "has
bcens , " aa It wcro.
Mr. Jones can certainly find a market for
all the broilers ho calculates to turn out
each spring , as any of the packing houses
In South Omaha could dispose of that num
ber any day before breakfast aud still not
have half enough to fill their orders. They
would , no doubt , be ple.tsed to see .Mr. Jones
locate In Omaha and assist tn lining a
"long felt went , " but I am Inclined to think
the gentleman from Kokomo uses a largo
base-burner , when ho says ho calculates to
turn out from COO to 1,000 broilers from
"an Incubator and brooder house. "
Ho thtnkH ono man and himself ought to
bo able to do all the work. So they can
jirovlllng the , work Is not hard and Is
evenly divided up. U may bo well to slate
that two iron are always better than ono at
, a Job of thli kind , for when ono gets tired
and wantu lo llo under
n tree and take a
nap. the othei ran keep the Illcs off.
Mr. Jones wants to know whether I think
his plan ls visionary or practical. That
Mr. Jones , depends entirely on two things ,
If I was engaged In selling Incubators ,
poultry supplies , etc. , I'd say your plan
was certainly practical , us I also would If
I had a poultry farm I wanted to rent or
give away , but If asked to embark In the
business with > ou. letting my children watt
for clothing until the returns came tn , I
would unhesitatingly affirm that the schinnc
w * "N , 0 , " and that you had rats In your
garret ,
"Are my estimates too high , and have
I got my Ideas lee largo ? " Your estimates 1
nre nbout right , tn fur us the llgures are '
concerned , but yon nrc on the wrong train
for Omaha win-it you Imagine you can In-
Ukt JK.OOO In thn ehlrken business and
gut one-half of It back. You might he able
to dn that In the shoo business , but you
en n't du It In the poultry business , no mat
ter whether you u o Inmibntors or rely upon
the old hen. My advlru. may not be worth
mur-li. but It v cn't spoil as long as you keep
It around the lioiifc.
"It $5.000 enough capital to buy place
and nil" " That all depend * upon how much
money you havo. If that Is the extent of
your pile. It Is sulllcli'iit. hut If you can
msnogo to borrow a few hundred from your
innilicr-ln-lntv. you might as well let It all
go at unco and not bo bothered walking the
floor night after night asking your wife
whcro tlio ( i.ircgorlc bottle Is and when
the next train starts for Indiana.
"Arc ten acres enough for what I want ? "
That all depends upon what you want the
land for. If for n poultry ranch , I would
advlsu that you make It twenty and give
your chickens and jour mother-in-law
ilenty of range , hut If you simply want It
for a crematory In which lo fry your
chickens , less space would answer.
COMFORTS * OF FARM LIFE.
Now that I have answered your ques
tions , Mr. Jones , would you object to my
giving you what your inothtr-ln-law would
call a "lecture ? " Did you ever stop to
; hlnk how you or your wife would like 11 v-
ng on a farm , for you must understand that
a chicken ranch cannot be successfully oper
ated In a largo city. Some people , llko
spring lambs , are built for farms , while
others arc what might bo called "not
mates. " Some people get the blues quicker
than others ; they go Into things pell-mell ,
like a flock of sheep through a cyclone , and
do not look upon but one side , which , It
Is almost unnecessary lo say. Is the "other
side. " Such men are apt to make n failure ,
no matter what the nature of the business
may be. Some men are naturally lazy ,
shiftless and easily fall victims to that
"tired feeling , " but , of course , there nre ex
ceptions and you may or may not bo on the
list. When a man leaves the city and
moves Into the country he makes sacrifices ,
and many of them , tlcforo ho takes the
slep ho Is not apt to stop and think that
Ills new homo will deprive him of going
to the theater , concerts , going on excur
sions and a host of attractions peculiar tea
a city. He must remain at home and his
wlfo cannot gad about or go shopping every
pleasant afternoon. His work Is liable to
bo continued an hour or two after supper ,
and ho may have little time to read the
paper or "attend lodge" before It Is tlmo to
KO to bed. Probably the man" would enjoy
the change , but what about the wife ? Shu
might not be satisfied with her new asso
ciates , living , perhaps , miles away. Many
n man's chances have been spoiled by a
discontented wlfo and vlco versa. A
good wlfo will take an Interest
In her husband's welfare and see
that ho gets up and starts the kitchen
flro In the morning as soon as the alarm
clock begins to cackle , while again others
have wives who will surprise the husband
by getting up , cooking bicak'fast and hav
Ing hot water for him to wash In , long be
fore he ktlows the sun Is an hour high. A
good wife always helps to make the home
cheerful and attractive , and very few when
keeping house for the first time omit the
"God Bless Our Home" picture for the
front room. After the first year It Is usu
ally found stowed away some place In the
garret. Some wives never allow a cloud
to enter their home , being all sunshine
and smiles , no matter If her shots do pinch
a little and her next door neighbor has n
bonnet which Is the living Image of the
one she sent to Council Uluffs for. Llvlm ;
tn the country has some advantages after
all. There you can obtain fresh mlk ] , eggs ,
butter , cheese , fruit and vegetables of all
kinds , and If your mother-in-law wants
to show yon where you have made mistakes
and how mean you have been to her loving
and affecllonatc daughter , you can answer
her back without your neighbor hearing
what Is being said , for In the country he
could hardly publish you In the papers thr
next morning as a "brute before the world. '
It these advantages arc worth five thousam
a year , then by all means pack up and move
lo Nebraska. The country Is young am
handsome , and we will all slop work Ion ?
enough to give you a "western welcome. '

NEW YORK , Oct. 25. Henry Clews , hcnd
of the banking house of Henry Clews &
Co. , writes of the situation In Wall street :
Huslness In the sccurlllcs market haa
shown much strength of tone , during the
past week , and prices hnvo made n net
tdvance of 2 to 3 points ; but the upward
icndency has been held In check by the sin-
Btilarly uniform disposition In all brnnchc *
of business to defer operations until the
result of the election Is declared. In
Wall street operations , this illfposltlon Is
slrenglhencd by the still high rates of In-
lerert on time loans , and by the unwlll-
ngness of the banks to make advances
until the vote of November 3 shows con
clusively what arc to bo thc future con
ditions. Indeed , this policy of resolute
prudence among the banks explains much
Df the iKJStponemont In thc mercantile
liuslness at large. The period of post
ponement Is. however , now very brief ,
and , when the relief docs come. Us effect
will bo nil the more striking and Intlucntlal
for not having been frittered nwny by
over-speculative untlclpnllon.
From such Information as Is accessible
to the higher ranks of llnnnce , the defeat
of free sliver nt the election Is regarded
ns certain beyond question ; nnd while , for
thu reasons nbovc alluded .to , this con
clusion does not materially stimulate buyIng -
Ing , yet It makes holders generally unwill
ing to sell and keeps thc bears timid and
cautious. There arc , however , Inlluonccs
unconnected with polities which nrc really
affecting prices favorably ; nmong which
the most prominent arc the continued large
Importations of gold , tuc extraordinary
position of wheat , and thc firmness of our
securities In London , In spite of thc severe
pressure upon thc Hank of England nnd
Iho uncnslnos on Iho Paris bourse.
CONFIDENCE IN AMERICANS.
It Is u very , remarkable expression of the
growth of foreign confidence In our In
vestments that , nt tho- very crisis of our
dllllcultles , nnd while In London domesllc
and foreign securities nnd uvcn consols
are declining , Americans sleadlly ndvauco
with the successive rises on our homo mar
ket. There was n slight exception to this
rule upon Thursday's advance In the Hank
of England's rate of Intercut from 3 to 4
per cent ; but prices between London and
New York were soon readjusted , wUhotlt
any observable selling by the former to the
latter. Thu arrangements of the week for
Importing gold have carried the Influx ,
since thc beginning of the movement , up to
$70.000.000. For the moment , thins Is n
lull In the Import engagements , the consequence
quence partly of this wet-it's largo opera
tions having sharply thinned thc supply
of bills , and partly of the fact that the
rise In thc Hank of Kngluna rate calls for
a. concession on sterling exchange , which ,
under this reduction In the- supply or
bills. Is not promptly forthcoming. There
Is. however , no abatement In the large
exports of produce , and considerable for
eign orders for sliver bullion arc being
received , while Importers nre buying vir
tually no bills , so that , In a few days , the
rale of sterling may be expected to return
to the point admitting of Imports of gold.
LONDON IS UNEASY.
London appears to be uneasy under the
present stale of the foreign exchanges ,
nnd suggests lhat "something must , bt >
dona to stop thc How of gold to the United
Stales. " It Is nol , however , very easy lo
sec what that "something' ' may be. If
England nnd India and Australia , to say
nothing of other countries mulcted with
short crops , must continue to buy our
wheat and maize , nnd If they have to pay
20 cents more for their wheat than the
price of two months ago both of which
seem to be Inevitable and If we continue
the largo current contraction nf our Im
ports which at present Is the actual drift
- then Enoland tnny llnd her trade balance
with thc United Stales In such n shape as
to compel her to remit still further con-
tlderablo amounts of gold to this country.
Under ordinary circumstances , she might ,
In such a trnde situation as now exists ,
find relief In forcing a return of our se
curities ; but thc Ilrltlsh holders of our
Investments Just now aypear unusually un
willing to part with them ; nnd ten day.1 *
hcneo an event may bo expected to happen
In this country that will cause an Impor
tant elllux of our securities to London.
Clearly , therefore. England Is likely to llnd
further Important shipments of gold to
this country Inevitable : and the "some
thing" which she needs to" do must be
done with sot to financial metropolis other
than New York.
Press opinion nt London shows some In-
crednlllv about the eiillrr bona lld'-p of
the $70,000CCO export of gold to the United
States. It assumes that large sums have
been Imported by Wall street houses nt n
lora. In the hope of selling thc metal to
hoarders nt a premium ; and hence the
hope Is expressed that. Instead of more
gold coming this wayr some of what we
hnvo received may Peen be flowing back.
These guesses will prove deceptive.
SMALL IX3SS IN THE DEAL.
Gold has been. In some comparatively
unimportant amounts , Imported wllh Ihe
hope nf Bellini ; It to a few timid persons
disturbed by the political outlook ; but the
Intervals have been few and very brief
when , such operations have been made below -
low the even par of exchange. It Is prob
ably qulle safe to say that , of the large
sum Imported , not over $2,000000 or $3,000 COO
hns shown a loss to the Importer Irrespect
ive of any premium on resales.
Much u M the London financial press has
had to say In criticism of our defective
monetary stains and projects , It would
not bo surprising If. In the event of a great
election victory for money reform , the
same critics would still llnd reasons for
dlFsallsfactlnn , though of a different kind.
I say nothing of the o&lnlons very freely
expressed bv London financiers that. In
the event of our escaping the silver nerll
and making safe provision for our legal
tender notes. American securities would
be In extraordinary demand. That Is an
opinion , which may or may not be Justf-
lled by the event. Hut It Is moro than an
opinion that already arrangements liave
been concluded , contingent upon Vr. Me-
Klnley's election by an ample majority , for
London participating to very largo amounts
In now American enterprises of great Im
portance. Those best acquainted with the
relations between our architects of great
financial undertakings nnd these of Lon
don nre thn men most sanguine about thn
extent of thn financial revival which will
naturally follow the rehabilitation of the
American monetary system. Such an outcome -
como would , of course , be n violent shock
to the London penmen who assume the
function of censors of finance.

NEW YOniC. Oct. SI. The bear crowd
has hammered nil Iho week Industriously ,
but their only accomplishment has been
to get whipped. They hnvo attacked prac
tically every stock dealt In. Not ono has
gene tlown. Hallway earnings do not do
orcase as they have predicted , and no
other prophesied distress tins materialized.
People who own stocks have declined to
bo scared Into selling out , whllo rich men
not lately figuring In thn recurltv markets
have come. In openly as buyers. It resulted
In a sharp advance In ovary conspicuous
quarter. Most stress was laid by bear cam
paigners upon the prospect of smashes
from a tight money market. Hut money
hns shown no new tightness.
Covering the situation , both ns to the
lean and .slock market nnd as to general
trade conditions , nn authoritative state
ment was made today bv J. Edward Sim
mons , president of the New York clearing
house. Ills wordn nrn Inspiring , Ho says :
"At this period of the year our money
market ordinarily H e.-uy. Wo are en
titled usually at this tlmo to an Inllonof
funds from the south and the west. Crops
being harvested , inov-d and paid for ( no
New York banks betto pet back In large
volume moneys advanced for the accom
modation of the farmcr.i nnd their cus
tomers.
"Such an Inflow this year mav be re
stricted a little hccauiu some prudent people -
plo living In the hotbed or free sllverlsm
nre Influenced to some extent by their en
vironments , nnd arc on that account > x-r-
hapr > ultra conservative , and hesitate to
release with their usual promptness the
funds wo have sent them. This Is true
eauallv In Iho wont nnd In Ihe soulh.
Especially Is It true whcro repudiation doc
trines urn rampant whom the mob cle
ment seems lo prevail Consequent unon
this spasmodic condition n condition
which , thank heaven. Is rare the How of
c'r.r'I3cy ' ! , ls not . " 1B | s < < ! " ° n oulto normal.
"
"Hut the restricted Inflow from the west
and the south li offset , to our great en
couragement by the tremendous tldo of
foreign sold nuhlng this way. The tin-
precedent nil export dumand for American
farm products , emphasized ns It Is by en
gagements of frel'-ht room fur Into next
spring , warrants Iho belief that the gold
wu have so fur received Is but preliminary
to further and blgcer gold shipments to
come. Thc ennsenuenco of thlr cannot be

CHICAGO. Oct. 21. The wheat market
got back Into the 60s today under setnl-
demornllzntlon of holders , who wcro non
plussed this morning nt finding Liverpool
opening cables showing Ji decline of 2',5d
In thc face of our ndvnnee yesterday. The
market wns extremely nervous nil through
thc cession , but with n steady downward
tendency. About the only support given
to prices wns by hohUrs of puts nnd the
few lucky ones who stood short over night.
December wheat at ono time showed a
loss of < c from yesterday's close , but re
covered ? ic near the end of nn advance at
Paris ttjual to from 2o to 3c per bushel.
Corn nnd oats were compnratlvely llrm on
n big cash demand , showing declines nt
thc close of from Vtc to ? ic nnd ? ic re-
ppectlvcly. Provisions were llrm , closlnc
about unchanged on hog receipts of 16,000
head and big cash transactions In prod
ucts.
The price prevailing nt the close of yes
terday s session was 73o for December
wheat. The first transactions this mornIng -
Ing were nt from 70Hc down to 70c. A sale
or two In thc confusion of thc start wns
made nt GDc.nnd very little nt that mo
ment brought over "Oe , but In thc course
or the next half hour's business there wns
a , gradual ndvnnee to 70T4c Uesldcs the
discouragement of the decline nt Liver
pool thc lieavy''inovomcnt of spring wheat
In the northwest -flunln held up Its hands
for recognition , ! and somu cye turned to
Its contemplation that had previously been
steadily looking In , the direction of India ,
Australia nnd Africa , nwny over the mat
ters of moro Immddlhlc concern which were
dally occurring. Minneapolis and Dulutli
reported receipts ( if l.OSS cars , compared
with SX1 Saturday of the week before and
1.11C the corresponding day of last year.
The week's rceplptu at those places num
bered 7.MD carloads , against G.CCI the pre
vious week nnd , 7.MO a year ago. The Ar
gentine shipments for the week na olll-
clally reported wore double these of thc
week before , but wtrc still only flS.OOO bu.
New York rci > 6rt < d that English houses
were fren pcliors of wheat them nt the
opening , but that numerous buying orders
from the continent IWITU executed nt the
same tlmo. Very niiny | well Informed men
thought the Liverpool decline was en
gineered from hcrn by leading elevator in
terests to lessen tap. strain upon them for
'margins ' on their hcdgcsl' December nftcr
holding steady for a tlmo' around 70'4c , de
clined regularly to Cc. Then followed n
rally to We , with a reaction to f ) Jc nt the
close on continental cables Indicating big
advances at Paris , Ilerlln and Antwerp ,
The corn market was remarkably llrm
considering the v > akncss In wheat. May
started at front 2 sc to 27 Jc , sold nt from
21o to 2iJc. recovered to 2SJc ! nnd closed
nt that after numerous ups and downs be
tween that prlco nnd 2Sc. Tntr outward
movement of coin was Immense ; about
721,000 bu. were shipped from hero In the'
last twenty-four hours and 2,527,000 bu.
from the seaboard to .Europe for the week.
Oats , like- corn , closed n shade lower , but
when compared with the weakness In
wheat were relatively firm. A good de
mand existed for short * , also from the
outside. The latter part of thor ses
sion was of n rather different nature
and prices fell off , but rallied again before-
the close nnd showed but a small loss.
May opened. nt 21'Ac. sold up to 21Jc. went
off to 21c nnd wns offered nt 2tc > at
thc close , showing n decline of ajc "slncu
yesterday.
Provisions were not nffected to any ex
tent by the market In the wheat pit. The
offerings of the hog products were quite
Inconsiderable mid whllo no one bid for
much there was no trouble In placing the
small offerings. The business was nota
ble for nothing but Its quiet firmness. The
run of hogs wns 10,009 bend. January pork
openet' nt from $7.0 to $7.$5 , rose to $7.95
nnd closed as It did yesterday at $7.87. Lard
and ribs each pursued a similar course ,
closing In the end nt the same pricu as
on the day before.

CATTLK The usual llslit receipts ot a

and of the number here 221 head were con-
slRncd direct to packers , so that tne ncttial
number of cattle on sale was small. There
were a few cattle of every kind cxceptlnc
right Rood ones on sale , but not enough of
any ono kind to create much InUrcsl In
the market.
In the way of UllllnR cattle there wore
a few loads of western steers , but no
cornfed natives , and only six or seven
loads of cows nnd heifers. Thc market
was without special feature of Interest
and values were not materially chained.
liiiyem seemed to want thu cattle , nnd
the yards were soon cloarn.
The stackers nnd feeders were slow , as
usual on the last day of the week , nnd
the feeling was easier.

LONDON , Oct. 23. The advance In the
bank rate hns not led to nn advance In
outsldo Qiiolalloiis bccuusu there was nn
a in pi o supply of avalhiolo funds. The
plethora has been Increased during the
week by the release of fwo.eoo of Japanese
money , with a urobablu 1 OtO.COO moro In
a few days. There ls > , however , some In
dication that the bank Is borrowing on
Block In order lo make Its quolatlons moro
effecllvo In checking iho cultlow of cold.
Hussla Is ofTerlnir less for bar KOld , while
Iho German and Krench c.-chainres havu
moved In favor of Great Ilrltnln on nn
advance In Iho bank rate. Thit outward
movement continues , being further stimu
lated by the heavy and Increasing wheat
shipments from Atlantlo and I'aclllc ports.
Slocks of praln In droai Ilrltuln stand at
an unusually low level , and the falluro of
the ( Tops In India has cuuued actlvo pur
chasing to replenish supplies.
The surplus l being freely drawn up on
advancing prices , and purchases of Kuro-
i'ran goods being much restricted , thn re-
mlttancu of iold ; Is the only method of
u-dresslni ; the adverse balance. A change
In this respect will probably oci-ur after
the election. The slock markel has been
very nctlyo with a dull tu . and few deal-
