ESTABLISHED 1890. k y ih SHOULD GO HIGHER Short Wheat Crop In Europe Ought to Affect PrlOM in America. WE HAVE LITTLE TO EXPORT. Our Surplus This Season Will Be Less Than Any Year Since 1890. NEW YOKK, July 1.—Brndstreets Bays: Dominating business conditions of the Vi wk are the continuation of the large demand for and further increase in prices for iron and steel, which have surprised even the trade. The jump in rail prices and scarcity of and higher quotations for plates and nails have tended to produce temporary scarcity. Improving wheat conditions have finally convinced many in the trade that there are likely to be fully 425, 000,000 bushels harvested in the United States this year, which, with probable available sal vias of 50.000,000 bushels being carried over at this tim^, points to only 100.000.000, possibly 110,000,000 bushels, available for export during the next 12 mouths, which is less than any year since 1S80. With short crops abroad, in some instances, this can h*rul frJ1 bnng A Higher Rung* cf Prices It "Will doubtless prove disappointing to learn that the exports ot wheat (and flour as wheat) both coasts of the United States and from Montreal, have amounted to only 1.94,40 bushels this week against 2,857,000 bushels last week. There are a few evidences of re vivals of general trade at the South, but merchants at almost "all leading cities in that region report that demand con tinues very moderate and collections are slow. General business on the Pacific coast continues in contrast to that elsewhere. Increases are reported in several lines from Seattle where a glass factory is to be built. Relatively I#H Activity J§ reported by Tacoma Portland an IWunces Oregon fruit crop will be a large one, but there is no change in the general business situation. Wheat is being exported from San Francisco as fast as it can be loaded into ships. lbat flour shipments to Europe are to be resumed from mills at Vallejo «fter a suspension of one year. The only changes West and North west are continuod improvement in oereal crop conditions, and the stimulus to business by continued firmness of demand for iron and steel. TWO BURIED ALIVE.

WASHINGTON, July 1.—It is expect ed by officials that Great Britain will protest against the concession Venez uela] has made to an Americau com pany, and will warn the Ameicans against taking possession of the terri tory, part of which is claimed by Great Britain. Under similar circumstances^ the British foreign office protested against the sanm concession when it was first granted ta Americans in 1K84, and the warnings at that time were so determined that the latter did not push their concession, which has remained dormant until now Venezuela wants it, and the Americans start to assume possession of the territory. The warning given by Great Brit in when the last concession was given to Americans covering the same lands was as follows: "Colonial Oflico, London, October 12, 1886. Whereas, the boundary line be tween her majesty's colony of British Guiana and the republic of Venezuela is in dispute and whereas, it has come to the knowledge of her majesty's gov ernment that grauts of laud within the territory claimed by her majesty's gov ernment have been made, or purported to have been made by or in the name of the government of Venezuela, notice is hereby given that no title to land or to any right, or in or over or affecting such laud, within the territory claimed by her majesty's gov ernment, purporting to be derived from or through the government of Venez uela, or any officer or person author ized by that government will b3 ad mitted or recognized by her majesty's government, and any person taking possession of, or exercising any right over any «uch lands under color of any such title or pretended title, wil! be liable to be treated as a trespasser." This warning was the culmination of of a controversy foUowiqg the grant. There was much contention, but the American company at last abandoned its plans and the concession has re mained in abeyance ever since. Now that it is revived, the purpose of Great Britain to protest is believed to be clearly outlined by the action taken 10 years ago. It is thought that the pro tests of that day remain operative to day, as they cover the same lands, but it is not doubted that the British au thorities will renew the warnings in order to give them more formal appli cation to the present case. TUNNEL VENEZUELAN MOUNTAINS Donald Grant Said to Have Taken a Big Contract. WASHINGTON, July 1. Donald Grant, the Minnesota railroad con tractor, has taken ona of the largest railroad contracts ever let in South America. It is to construct a tunnel under the mountain that separates Caraccas, the capital of Venezuela, from its seaport, La Guayra. A nar row gauge road operated by switch backs now connects the two cities, but cannot b- operated successfully and at a profit as a freight road. The Venezuelan government has long been anxious for a modern line, and when Mr. Grant made his first trip there last winter he was offered all sorts of inducements to undertake the task. He has now agreed to do so under the terms of the new railroad subsidy act passed at his suggestion by the Venezuelan congress. Soon after the arrival of Messrs. Grant, Clapp, Bowman, Fisher aud Elmer, the Venezuelan government repudi ated the illegal action of Dictator Guzman Blanco and re turned the grant at the mouth of the Orinoco to the Manoa company, of which these gentlemen are the princi pal factors. The gentlemen went on to the Orinoco by way of Trinidad, where they are now exploring their domain. On their return to the states active op erations will be commenced. The work on the La Guayra-Caraccas tun nel will commence within six months, and will probably take nearly three years. Loaejr Acquitted. IdgBON, N.

TACOMA, Wash., Juy 1.—Repre sentative WH. Doolittle left for Wash ington to s]end the summer there, transacting business of importance to the state. As a result of his recent Orient.il trip, he will work to secure the enactment next winter of measures providing for the coining of "chop" dollars, for use in the transaction of Lusiuesg in the Orient—in Japan and China especially. Mr. Doolittle says: "Great Britain has been long co ning these dollars, placing the Japanese •chop,'' or characters representing the silver, in the place, on one side, and the British stamp on thev*other. This currency has been of great service to British merchants transacting business in China and Japan and hence to the British nation at large. Our trade dollars might have served the same purpose, but lacking the Chinese 'chop' or character indi cating value, the Chines.? and Japanese did not understand them and would not use them. The measure, I think, congress will enact, will provide for the coinage of these dollars with the eagle on one side and the Japanese 'chop' on the other. The piece will be irredeem able in gold and will contain about the same amount of silver as the American dollar. It will purchase in Japan about double the amount a gold dollar will purchase in this country* de What Obaerver Hobbs Has Discovered Abont Rainier.
