conditions. In the second place, ho ha; 1 usually no other disposition to make of the profits of a season of ifiah prices than to buy more land and" plant more grain. But with upward of four million separate farms in the United States, it may be readily imagined what results might be expected if the entire body of men engaged in such an industry were to engage even moderately in a policy of expansion. The rewult Is apt to bo not only that the average price of his product falls abruptly in the next few years, but that the farmer has nothing to show for his earnings of the profitable year except some increased acreage, which he thinks he Is farming at a lot*. These tendencies are so deeply rooted in the agricultural mind, not only here hut throughout the world, ami not only now but throughout the history of farming, that it w'ould be expecting too much to hope that a more intelligent system might prevail. The American farmer is. however, now for the moat part out of debt; he and hia creditors both learned the lesson of farm extension on 8 per cent, mortgages, and. in that regard, at any rate, both will be wiser in the future. As for the actual results of 1897 and 1893. the wheat-farmer has probably done the most profitable business of any industry In the country. In hia way. he is rich, and for the present rich in money. As the official returns have clearly proved, he is making liberal use even of the deteeted bank-deposit system. We can see very little opening, in such a situation, for Mr. Bryan or Senator AUen.

ev and the Wheat Crop.

[New Tork Post.]

During the four or five weeks ending

If'

wfcth the month of June, this country’* commercial fortunes for tne coming season are staked very largely on the

weather in the wheat-belt. As a general

rule, at least two-thirds of the annual wheat production of the United States

consists In the so-called “winter crop,”

which is planted In tne middle and Southern grain-producing States during the autumn, and Is harvested, ordinarily.

Somewhere about the close <*t June. It is hardly essential to point out the

enormous Influence whicn will be exerted. in many directions, according as the crop of 1898 is great or small. It is only necessary to recall the profound Influence which the grain market situation of 1897 and 1896 has already exerted on

our Interior trade and foreign commerce.

The still more remarkable episode of 1879 and 1880 is another commercial landmark which proves that^Hke causes, in

this connection, may be relied upon to

produce like results. It will not be readily conceived that even with an abundant harvest, recent experiences would be exactly duplicated. That the exiraordinaVily urgent export demand for wheat--w’hloh in the past ten mouths has drawn from our home supplies 50,000,000 bushels more

than were taken in the same period a

year ago—will be repeated for another

season, is hardly to be expected. It was made possible this season only

by the remarkable coincidence of drought In In ila and Australia, wholesale destruction t>* it.sect pests in Argentina, a wet harxest In France, and an actual tnunda-

Indiana Weekly Crop Bulletin. Monday. June 13.—The weather, in general, during the week was very favorable to growing crops; much sunshine prevailed; high temperature continued, and frequent light and heavy local rains fell. Strong squalls of wind and hail did injury in a few localities. Wheat is maturing well, and is turning yellow rapidly, especially in the southern portion, where the harvest will begin within a few days; in the northern portion wheat is less advanced, but everywhere it promises very good crop; the heads are long and well filled or filling well; rust made Its appearance in a few fields. Rye is ripening rapidly. Barley has been harvested In the southern portion. Oats advanced well nearly everywhere and are heading out well. In a few fields they need rain. Corn is growing rapidly and is in excellent condition, standing well in clean fields; in some localities, where much rain fell, cultivation was Interrupted. In Jefferson and Switzerland counties much tobacco has been set out. but in Ohio county, in some localities, it has been too dry, and planters are waiting. Meadows promise heavy crops of hay. The clover-hay harvest is progressing In the southern portion, and it will soon begin In fields farther north. Timothy looks well, promising good crops. Early potatoes are In bloom and in good condition; late potatoes are being planted. The prospect for a good peach crop is lessening; pears are very promising; a good crop of cherries was gathered in the southern portion, and the crop is promising well In the northern portion. Berries and grapes promise an abundance. Live stock Is healthy and growing fat on excellent pasturage.

SICXI 3 V*7 V III 1 I'll IV wit *4»xvs ■» cav-vaasss — tltm of the wheat-fields of Australia and Hungary at almost the moment when the grain was ready for the sickle. But. although actual famine condition* need not he ac-tin. expected, there Is good reason to look for a steady export market at prices highly remunerative to the farmer This was the experience of 1880. after the famous European harvest failure of the year hefore. The grain-growing world produced Ip 1880 at least 200.000,000 bushels more of wheat than it had produced In 1879. and of this increase 49,000.000 bushels was contributed through an Increased yield of the United State*. Yet the average American price for wheat in 1880 waa only moderately below the average of the year preceding, and the total exports from our 1880 crop actually in-

creased several million bushels. Recent estimates of the condition an<J

acreage of the growing wheat crop have been extremely favorable. That the area planted should have been greatly Increased when the winter wheat was Bown with the market price at a dollar a bushel, and the spring wheat during a market range of $1.25, is certainly not surprising. The Agricultural Department’s recent estimat* of planted acreage Is interpreted by the experts to mean a total Increase In the area of not less than 10 per cam. The high prices of 1879 were followed by an increase, on the GovemmeiH’e estimate, of 14 per cent. Jn the acreage of the ensuing year, so that this preliminary estimate for 1898 Is at all events not exeeaslve. The further reckoning of the optimists that with present conditions maintained up to the harvest, a total American crop might be expected of 700,000.000 burfiel*. against an estimated 580.000.000 In 1897 and the maximum of 680.000,000 (commercial estimate) In 1891. Is Interesting, though hardly yet a matter ou which to b«se positive ex-

pectations.

Grain Note*. [By O. D. Weaver & Co.’s Wire.] Closing cables: Paris—Wheat 10<S20c higher. Flour 30c lower to 10c higher. Antwerp—Wneat unchanged. Minneapolis wires: Reported two houses sold 48,000 barrels of flour, part of it for export. A Minneapolis commission concern says of the new tax law: “If we read the section correctly that covers the grain business It is an outrage on our branch of business. If we should trade 1.000,000 bushels here some busy day it would cost us $100 for stamps. If we should borrow $100,000 at pur bank It would cost us $40 for stamps, and If we should draw a draft against the shipment for $100,000 it would cost us $10 for stamps. No other branch of business seems to have been so fixed upon for slaughter.” Broomhall cable reads: "Odessa confirms our report of yesterday regarding crop prospects In eastern Russia. Weather in England improving. Crop prospects in northern Italy have been lowered by too much rain.” Closing Liverpool cable: Wheat—Spot unchanged; futures Hsd higher to 2Vzd lower. Corn—Spot and futures V4d higher. St. Louis—No movement of new wheat thfb way, and not likely to be for two or thr<*e weeks yet. Des Moines, la., wires; “No let-up In rain; wheat and oats being damaged badly.” Si. Louis message: “In many sections of Kansas. Oklahoma and Indian Territory rust and fly have damaged wh^at, .reducing prospects of a week ago 20 to 40 per cent.”

Lower Price* for Wheat, [New Tork Post.J The periodical hardship and discontent of the average farmer, from which for a season he haa now emerged, may. In our judgment, be directly traced to two peculiarities In his habit of managing and forecasting his business. He Is very apt to consider his own country as the only market whose influences fix the price for his crap of wheat. Therefore, he often .will not recognise that an exceptionally heavy foreign crop, competing with ours in the export market.

Assumption of Letter’s Deals will Make Holders Conservative. Chicago, June 15.—The assumption of Leiter s cash wheat by Armour had a steadying Influence In wheat to-day, and prices ruled higher. It was generally conceded that this put an end to the prospect of many holders of that commodity tumbling over each other to sell out and spoiling the market for everybody. The liquidation now will be orderly and under the best auspice®, all things considered. Continued showers in the Southwest, where the grain is ready for the reaper, had a strengthening influence. September at Liverpool was %d higher and July 3%d lower. Chicago received 84 cars, against 8 fm the same day last year. Northwest receipts were light—78 cars, as compared with 187 last year. July opened %c higher at 79c, sold up to 79%c, down to 77%c. then up to 78c. September started %0%c better at 71%@71%c. sold down to 70%c, advanced to 71%@71%c, and then declined to 71%071%c. There was some general buying of corn on unfavorable weather reports, and prices rujed higher. July began %@ %c up at 32%@32%c, and sold up to 32%c. Oats followed corn. July opened %c higher at 24c; weakened to 23'%c, then rose to 24%o. Reports of the yellow fever in the South were more encouraging and provisions developed some strength. July pork opened 2%c higher at $9.45, sold down to $9.42%, then rose to $9.47%. July lard started unchanged at 5.70c and sold up to 5.72%c. July ribs began unchanged at 5.37c and advanced to 5.40c.

WORK TAX XOT BE PAID FOR OIT OF GENERAL STATE FUND.

A Decision Unfavorable to the Board of Regents In Their Case Against the Auditor of State—Other Cases.

The Supreme Court to-day affirmed the judgment of the Circuit Court of Marion county, which was unfavorable to the board of regents of the State Soldiers’ and Sailors' Monument in Its suit against the Auditor of State. The suit was to compel the Auditor to draw warrants for part of the cost of the War and Peace groups of statuary on the monument, and the engines and pumps by which water Is furnished to the fountains at its base, payable from the general fund in the State Treasury, instead of out of the fund appropriated to build the monument. | The board of regents averred that the payments which were made to the sculptor, under his contract on the delivery of sketches and clay models of the groups, amounting to $22,000. were merely Incidental expenses and should not be paid out of the fund appropriated for building the monument, while they ad-

Majority of Stocks Inclined to Loaaea—Specialties Sensitive. New York. June 15.—Changes were very small either way at the opening', but the majority inclined to losses in spite of a slightly higher range of prices for Amercans in London.

FRENCH CABINET RESIGNS

THE RESIGNATIONS AOCBPTBD BY PRESIDENT FAURE TO-DAY.

He Requested the Minister* to Serr* Until Their Suceessora Were Appointed—Contradictory Yotft* by the Depatte*.

Paris. June 15.—As a result of th* action of the Chamber of Deputies yesterday afternoon. M. Mellne this morning handed to President Faure the resignation of himself and the other member* of the Cabinet. They were accepted by the President, who requested the ministers to serve until their successors were named.

It la expected that M. Ribot, the former premier and Minister of Finance, will be invfted to form a new mtnletry. and It is considered probable that M. Dupuy, who was premier of the Cabinet which preceded that of M. Ribot. will join the new ministry. The Deputies yesterday afternoon, by a vote of 289 to 272. passed a vote of confidence in the government, and then reversed their action by defeating the ministry by a vote of 296 to 246. M. Ribot delivered & warm eulogy of the Premier, and propoeed a vote of confidence >n the government. The first part of M. Rlbot’a motion. "The Chamber approving the declarations of the government." was adopted by a vote of 289 to 272, and the second part, "is determined to put in forc« the policy of democratic reform, baaed on the union of republicans." waa adopted by 525 to 5 votes. M. Henr4 Ricard moved to add the words “and supported by a majority ex elusively repubhean.’’ M. Moline refused to accept this addition. M. Ricard insisted upon a vote, and the addition waa car-

rled by 296 to 246 votes whereupon there

was a terrible uproar.

The members of the extreme Left arose en masse and shouted for the retirement of M. Metine. M. Berteaux yelled: “Get out. you are defeated!” Others, pointing to the ministerial bench, indulged In a chorus of “boohs." The Socialists vocif-

erated ‘ Resign!" “Reefgn!"

When a lull occurred another vote waa taken on the entire motion, which M.

mlrted that the balance of the contract price of $60,000. which was to be paid In installment* as the work advanced. Should he paid out of the monument fund. They also averred that the cost of the englt.ee and pump* were incidental to, but not a part of the cost of the monument The court says that, as it views the question, "the work on the models, whether of clay or plaster, was quite as much a part of the whole work committed to Bruno Schmitz as wae the taking of the Bedford stone out of the quarry, or cutting and polishing the stone, or any other preliminary work needed for the finishing and final placing in position of the noble groups and reliefs that are to adorn the great monument. None of the work Is merely Incidental, but each and ail is essential to the completion of the mighty whole." The court also says that, as the fountains are a part of the original plans for the monument, the engines end pumps, without which .iey could not exi«t, are chargeable to the cost of erection and are not merely incidental

c h

There is now $70,328 remaining in the monument fund, and the cost of the groups of statuary, pumps, engines, etc..

already purchased amounts to about $65,-

000. so that, since the petition to have $22,000 paid out of other funds has been denied, there is only a small amount of money available for further improve-

ments.

Anna L Basket vs. John ft. vorce. Superior Court, room 1.

-o

Basket.

Senator David Turpte has been invited to preside over the Democratic State convention one week from to-day. and has written from Washington that he will be here. Chairman Martin, of the State committee, says the Indications are that the convention will be one of the best the party has ever held in Indiana. It will be composed of 1.528 delegates, nearly ail of whom have already been

selected.

Chairman Hemly. of the Republican j State committee, announces that the 1 committee will meet here June 24 to fix a date for the State convention. His im- | pression is that the convention will be • called for the last week in July or the • first week in August. The committee 1 will decide whether the call shall be for a convention consuming two days. Influential politicians in both the old parties will, later on, if the war contimies. insist that the Governor shall call a special session of the Legislature to provide for soldiers voting In the field. Some of the Senators and Representatives are already proposing to serve during the extra sessions without pay. It Is pointed out that Ohio has a law under which her soldiers in the field may vote for all officers, from constable up. Indiana. it is suggested, ought to enact a similar law. The supporters of the movement for a special session declare that neither party can get any special advantage by making it pcs.-ible for the vol-

General Carnahan, the executive committee. the commissary department, the hospital department, the "privilege’* men, etc. There are to be accommodations for FKOOO Uniform Rank Knights. Arrangement* have been made with the water ar.d electric-light companies by which electric ilgnts are to be pieced at the street corners in the camp, and drinking fountains innumerable are to bo flowing constantly. Dr. E. D. Clark, secretary of the Board of Health and city .sanitarian, is to look after the sanitary arrangements of the camp. Ordered Tent* Before War Time. The executive committee considers itself fortunate in having contracted for the tents before the war crisis arose. As every one knows, the United States Government has had trouble In getting all the tents needed for the volunteer army. This fact will not embarrass the encampment management, however, as the Cleveland contractor had agreed to furnish all the tents needed long before war was a certainty. Under his contract. guaranteed by bond, he is to turn the camp over to the executive committee with everything done. Much of the work is to be done by local laborer*, although the tents will be manufactured In Cleveland and shipped here. This week contracts wih be let for furnishing the cots, pillows and straw that are to be provided by the executive committee. One feature of the camp regarded as being worthy of mention is the “commissary department,” which is to include refreshment booths, dining tent*, etc. Frank Bowers, secretary of the execu<tive committee, declares that po one will be allowed to extort unreasonable prices for food. The privilege tents will be located Just above the headquarters of Major-General Carnahan at the southwest corner of the camp. A large hospital department Is to be conducted in connection with the camp, but it will be somewhat remote from It, as it is to He west of Meridian street on the old bicycle coaster grounds. The hospital of the camp will be under the direction of the surgeon-general and deta.lod surgeons from the various brigades. It will be independent of the local hospital corps under the direction- of Dr. E. S. Earp, who proposes to establish emergency hospitals along the line of march on the day of the great parade. East of the camp lie the Business Men’s Driving Club Park, where thfe competitive drills are to occur, and a large tract south of it above Fall creek, which is to be used for a review ground. These do not appear in the map. Many of the details of the work of the camp committee are not completed, but everything will be in readiness by August 23, the day the encampment is to begin.

ed by 284 to 272 votes. The Chamber of Deputies then adjourned until Monday. In the lobbies of the chamber the opin, ion was freely expressed that X. Meline

would resign.

A Kossuth Medial Foaad. [Special to The Indianapolis News.] Franklin. Ind.. June I5.-WhU« digglni in his garden yesterday. Sheriff Weddle unearthed a bronse Kossuth medal about an Inch In diameter. On thft face of the medal i« a bust of the Hunjeartan patriot, surrounding which are the words: “Louis Kossuth, the Wa*Wngton of Hungary." On the reverse side Is the following: "Now. In the name of eternal truth and by all that la sacred and dear to man since the history of mankind is recorded, there ha* been no cause more Ju*t than the cause of Hungary." It is recalled that during Kossuth’* visit to this country in 1862 he passed through this city, and the unearthed medal was probably struck as a memento of that visit. O' -

An Improvement In the madnery of business redounds to the general benefit, because It simplifies the system and makes It cost less. This Is no less true a* affecting matters of trust than In manufacturing, say. A corporation subject to frequent examination and always under legal control la more likely to do business well and cheap than individuals. It must do it well in order to succeed, and the volume of business will enable It to make very reasonable charge#. Hence the popularity and general use of trust companies in dtle*, where experience has shown their superiority. Insurance written in first-class companies. ,
