Gossip About Export
i Possibilities.
Wheat very tired all day.
Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, Aug. 14.
It waa a repetition of yesterday on change at
the opening, Mg crowds on the floor yet no par
ticularly hea%y business. Later on the pit
llTened tip a little, as selling began, an a prices
eased off somewhat If the local situation had
been the main Influence prices would probably
have advanced Instead of working -lower, for
there was much here to create firmness, notably
a decrease In local stocks of 660,000 bu for
three days, and a premium of about 5c over Sep
tember for the spot No. 1 northern, only 18
cars spring wheat being received. But Liver
pool was weak and %d lower at the close, and
the trade went back to consideration of export
possibilities. Nothing favorable *appeared in
-the* connection Broomhall cabled that much
rain has fallen in both the United Kingdom and
Germany. A late cable also stated that heavy
rains had fallen In the Odessa district The
rain la England made the Liverpool weakness.
The export situation yesterday was decidedly
discouraging, and It was poor again today. Bldi
received by exporting houses were at lower lim
its than on Saturday, despite the firmer close
of this market yesterday, and this morning the
early advices from Ne York, Philadelphia.
Baltimore and Chicago were all unfavorable*. It
Is believed by many In the trade that the for
eigners ,are taking wheat right along on the
breaks, which is probably the case, only this
year there Is a big exportable surplus and we
have much to sell, and so an export business
that would look big in an ordinary year does
not look so big now. There is also much loose
talk going around about how much wheat will be
consumed at home and how much home con
sumption will cut down the exportable surplus.
The consumption of wheat Is said to be seven
bushels per capita in the Lnited States. This
statement is made In a pamphlet issued of late
from Washington. On the basis of 90,000,000
population, as some figure it, it would mean a
consumption of wheat of 630,000,000 bu in a
nr. Figures on consumption have been in-
Scrensed in late years, some have figured five
5&u.hels. others 5 25 and recently some of the
VSVasMngton tatisticians have made figures 5 8
*bu per capita, and a few over six bushels.
Th figure of seven bushels Is probably too
l.ifrli but it ia "betas used as an argoment for
market effect. Also the population is not 90,-
F**oi but was 85 000 000, or Just under, on
"lAug. 1. These statistical statements are in
teresting, but not always reliable.
Altho the prediction is for probable showers
^tonight and Wednesday in the northwest and
Wherefore not wholly favorable, it is by no
Jtaieans bad. while the weather of the morning

CHICAGO GRAIN
LIVERPOOL REPORTS AMD GOOD WEATHER
BEAR WHEAT.
Chicago, Aug. 14.Two influences today tend
ed to create bearish sentiment in the local
wheat market. The first of these factors was
a moderate decline in the price of wheat at
Liverpool, and the second was the continuance
of excellent harvesting weather in the north
west. Trading in the pit was very dull.
Offerings were moderate, but the demand was
even more limited. September opened a shade
to %@%c lower, at 72%c to 72%c, and sold
off to 71%@71Jc. Minneapolis, Duluth and
Chicago reported receipts of 603 cars, against
882 cars last week and 373 cars a year ago.
Later in the day the market became still
weaker on free selling by local longs. For
September the lowest point of the session, was
reached at 70%@71c. The close was weak,
with September off 1 @1%C at 71c.

Local receipts of corn were a trifle above the
estimated amount. This, combined with favor
able weather for the growing crop, had a
weakening effect on the corn market. The
volume of business was small. September
opened a shade higher to %c lower, at 49%c
to 49%@50c, and sold off to 49%c. Local re
ceipts were 180 cars, with 57 cars of contract
grade.
Notwithstanding the weakness of wheat, the
market held fairly steady the remainder of
the day. The close was steady, with Septem
ber unchanged at 49 %c.

Very few buying orders came into the mar
ket to reinforce the opening rise and the mar
ket began to yield. After the market had re
ceded to a fraction below yesterday's closing
short covering and a large absorption of Balti
more ft Ohio caused a good rally. Iowa Cen

Special to The Journal.
Boston, Mass., Aug. 14.The one thing lack
ing to create a broad, active carpet market is
public interest. This it seems impossible to
arouse at the present, but if the copper com
panies continue to pile up earnings and lnciease
their dividends it must aome sooner or later.
The metal market is strong enough. Instead of
production catching up on consumption, it is
tailing oft*. Predictions are made by prominent
people that the country will have 18c copper
for all of 1006. Directors North Butte have de
clared a quarterly dividend of 2 per cent. This
is the same as was declared three months ago.

After a number of rebaters and other de

matters in the enforced privacy of prison walls,
it is probable that breaking laws will not be
considered such great fun as It has been in
the past.

ADAMS' COWPATH
A beautiful thorofare is Goffe street,
in Quincy. with its arching foliage and
its regiciaal name.
Goffe street, beside its historic nomen
clature, has a story all its own. It tra
verses what was once a portion of the
John Adams farm, and tradition has it
that long ago, when the second presi
dent was a boy, b.e drove the family
bovines back and forth to pasture along
this same highway.
But the John Adams farm, with the
march of modern improvements, has
become a thing wholly of the past. Its
fields and pastures have been rent
asunder by crossing streets, and resi
dences adorn the favorite spots.
The death in 1903 of Elizabeth C.
Adams, the daughter of Thomas Boyl
ston Adams, and surviving grandchild
of President John Adams, at the great
age of 95 years, removed the last link
which bound the present age to the
historic past. For it was Elisabeth
Adams, as a young K*T1
i
i.
i
of 18, -who,aided
her grandfather, in her maidenly wav,
in the entertainment of Lafayette ill
1826, and she was doubtless the sole
survivor of all of those honored Amer
icans who had personally met the re
nowned French patriot.
