Chicago, Oct, 20.—(Special.)—The recent advance of 17 cents a bushel in the price of wheat has given rise to considerable discussion ns to what extent the republican managers have participated in the advance. Many erroneous statements are made, among which being one attributing the advance to McKinley's probable election and ihe probable defeat of silver in November. One republican paper gives credence to the statement that inasmuch as the value of wheat to the farmers in this country has increased in the neighborhood of $100,000,000, there can be no possible doubt but that the gold sentiment has done it. The value of wheat is gauged absolutely by the unalterable laws of supply and demand, aided temporarily at times by speculative influences. Speculators occasionally advance or break the price of wheat aceording to the opportunities offered in the exercise of the business. There are evidences at fhe present time which show clearly that either the republican national committee or a syndicate In close touch with it has recently been participating in a speculative syndicate which has for its purpose the making of campaign capital In addition to a few dollars. It is often asserted that during ths almost continual decline in the price of silver bullion since the demonetization of silver in '73, the price of wheat has advaneed. and the differences of relative worth ha\e been gradually widened. That this is not true is show-n in the report of the United States department of agriculture showing the average price of wheat for the years 18G6 to 1895, inclusive. Before silver was demonetized It sold at $1.29 per ounce. From 18GG to 1809 the average price of wheat was $1.18 a bushel. From 1870 to 1873, $1.04; from 1874 to 1880, 95 cents; from 1881 to 1885, 88 cents; from 1880 to 1890, 77 cents, and from 1891 to 1895, GO cents. With the appreciation in the price of gold the tendency is for higher prices for wheat, and it is recorded that in so far as money can have any influence on the price of wheat, high prices for silver have always brought high prices for wheat. Such advance however, would not be uniform with the advance of both silver and wheat. Under a bimetallic system the premium would be removed from gold, und silver, of course, would advance. This would In a measure equalize the advance In Ihe price of wheat. According to the estimate made by one of the most prominent grain dealers in Chicago, the advance from 7()-cent wheat would be about one dollar, while silver would at onee go to $1.20. The Wall Street Journal gives the following explanation of the weakness in silver, so far as it is considered as a commodity: • “The explanation given by dealere of the weakness in silver is absence of demand for India. This is considered confirmatory of the reported shipments of wheat from here to India and makes the silver situation interesting. Heretofore India had wheat for export und silver was in demand in Loudon to pay for India wheat. Having no wheat now to export the demand for silver has lessened, and India in buying wheat is buying it on a gold basis and paying practically $1.30 a bushel in silver for what costs about 70 cents a bushel in gold in Chicago. “We learn, however, that other factors at this moment are more jiowerfully at work ie- -ening the demand for silver. One is the heavy liquidation in London within the past ten days in In-

dia rupee paper. It seems that Loudon operators during the summer, in anticipation of the sweeping victory in the United States for free silver, bought rupee paper ns a speculative venture. These operators made a profit in this paper, sold it, and India being the natural home for it has been buying. Another factor has been the very dull trade of East Indian countries and China and Japan for raw materials, such ns tons, silks, etc.” Aside from the sjieculative influences which have been at work in silver, the laws of supply and demand have undoubtedly' governed present prices of wheat. Extraordinary causes are at work this year to advance the price ol wheat, aud were it not for the depression which is due to the rise of the price of gold, wheat prices would now be very high. The wheat crop in the United States is. very short this year, being 50,000,000 bushels less than the average crop for 20 years. The last government crop report placed the crop at 411,000,000 bushels. Add to this the available supply of 52,000,000, the otli cial estimated reports, makes the total crop 463,000,000. The exportation of wheat has been phenomenal this year, and if kept up at the present rate will reach fully 150,000,000 bushels, leaving but 313,000,000 bushels for consumption and seed purposes in this country, which is not enough for the actual needs. Probably one of the greatest influences that have ever appeared in the history' of the wheat trade has been Argentina’s production of enormous quantities of wheat, which began a few years ago, aud ever since that country has been a factor of the first importance. Lust year she shipped enormous quantities of wheat and this year nothing, nor will she, ns her crop is practically ruined. The crop of Australia is only 30 per cent, of last year, and the most conservative of the estimates of the damage to the Russian crop give a decrease under last year of 150,000,000 bushels. The almost complete failure of the crop of India has brought about a condition of things which has never existed in the history of the grain trade before. Add to these features the failure in the potato crop in Germany and Ireland. The exportation of wheat, in quantity, has been astonishing, in the Inst two weeks over 8,000,000 bushels having been shipped. A number of cargoes were sent to India, being the first shipments ever made to that country. Big operators in wheat like John Cudahy', VY. T. Baker, \V. U. Linn, August Brosseau and Armour have had men out for months to estimate this year’s crop. The reports received by them have caused them to give expression to the belief that the United States would this year raise less than 400,000,000 bushels of wheat. Upon these estimates, and the enormous exporting demand, they have built their hopes for higher prices. That they do not take any stock in the assertions so often made by the republicans that the advance in the price of wheat is due to the belief in the minds of the people that McKinley will be elected is shown in the statement made by Mr. John Cudahy, who said it made no difference who was elected president of this country, wheat this year would go up just the same. In corn, oats and provisions, there is no shortage in this country, and such minor advances as have been made from tiie lowest prices that have been ever recorded in either of these commodities are only in sympathy with the advance in the price of wheat. Should this country remain upon a gold standard basis, gold would certainly go to a higher premium. A leading bullion firm in Wall street has recently been selling calls on gold, dated beyond election day, at 1% percent premium. This shows clearly the belief of Wall street in higher prices for gold should McKinley beelected. Ontheotiier hand, should this country go to a bimetallic basis by the election of Mr. Bryan, the price of silver would at once go to $1.29 per ounce. In consequence the price of wheat would also advance ut once, as payment would then be made in gold as now, purchased according to Its parity with silver in the exchange market.

Prince Bismarck says, in his letter to Gov. Culberson, that the surest and quickest way to secure an International settlement of the currency question is for the United States to adopt the independent coinage of silver.

Chicago, Oct. 19, 1896.—(Special.)— Notwithstanding the fact that the ballot being taken by the Chicago Record has been boycotted by the silver men throughout Chicago aud the west, and that the returns received indicate that it has been boycotted and ignored, it shows conclusively when analyzed that Mr. Bryan will sweep Illinois und the central western states. The returns from Ccok county, when analyzed, as they have been below, show that he will carry Cook county by 30,000 majority; that he will carry the state outside of Cook county by 50,000 majority, and that he will have a total majority in the entire state of more than 80,000. While the Record’s ballot is not a fair test, and cannot be a fair test of the strength of the silver sentiment in Chicago and the country, it shows indisputably that wherever a democrat is voting for McKinley more than twice that number of republicans are voting for Bryan. The following table, taken from the Record, and indorsed by the gentlemen in charge of the ballot, proves this to be true:

Note.—The column to the right of Bryan vote shows number of Bryan voters who voted for Harrison In 1892: the next column gives percentage. The column to the right of McKinley vote shows the number of McKinley voters who voted for Cleveland In 1892, and the next column gives this In percentage. The column to the right ot the Calmer vote gives the percentage of Bryan vote cast by Palmer voters. The above table shows the votes east and counted in the Chicago Record's postal card election as it appears in that paper on Tuesday, October 13. Alongside of the votes cost for Bryan and McKinley is placed the number of those voting who voted for the opposition candidate in 1892. It will be seen that 27 out of every 100 who voted for Bryan voted for Harrison in 1892, while 19 out of every 100 who voted for McKinley voted for Cleveland in 1892. Here is a net gain of eight per cent, for Mr. Bryan. It will also be seen that ten votes are cast for Palmer to every 100 cast for Bryan. This table also shows that these changes from Harrison to Bryan and Cleveland to McKinley are in favor of Mr. Bryan in Cicero and 25 of the 34 wards of the city. If the percentage of changes as shown herein are a correct index of whnt may be expected of the voters of Chicago and Cook county Mr. Bryan will sweep Chicago by a splendid vote. On a basis of the 1892 vote, giving him 50 per cent, of the prohibitionists, and all the populists, and taking from him ten per cent, of his vote which will go to Palmer, as shown by this table, he will have a plurality over McKinley of 30.534 votes in Cook county. In tiie Record of Wednesday, October 14, the vote of Illinois, outside of Cook county, and the changes from Harrison to Bryan and Cleveland to McKinley are given, showing a net gain of a little less than 11 percent, for Bryan. In this report Mr. Palmer's vote is five per cent, of the vote east for Mr. Bryan. Taking the vote of 1892 as a basis, giving one-half of the prohibitionists and all the populists to Bryan, and taking away from him five per cent, for the Palmer vote, and it gives Mr. Bryan outside of Cook county a plurality of 49,643. Combining this plurality with that of Cook county, viz.: 30,534, and we have the magnificent total of 80,177 plurality for Mr. Bryan in the entire state.
