The Price of Wheat.
New York, May 8.—Some explanation
of the excitement mm the wheat market last | at the meeting called for the purpose of | weeh may beobtained from an examinati- | considering the Legislature's aniendmente |
on of the world’s wheat supplies given in Bradstreet’s.
The total stock in the United States on May 1, this year, was only 34,600,000 vushele, the sma!lest held at that date for years past, 17,000,000 bushels below the total held a year ago, 49,000,000 below that held in 1896, and 65,000,000 below that on May 1, 1895
The available sup ly in thie country and Canada fell off 10,000,060 bushels duriog April, tbe heaviest decrease shown in any singie mouth for a jong time past,
‘ne European situation, though less acute, is +tiil an intere ting one. The total held on May Ist, was 66.8380,000 bushele, 11,000,0 0 larger than a year ago, and, 3,600,000 bu+hels larger than two years ago, but 14,000,000 smaller than May Let, 1895.
The total s ock in this country, Canada, Europe and afloat, therefore, on May Ist, was 108,*90,000 bushels, 7,000,000 smaller than last -yearat this time, 46,000,006 bushels smaller than on May let, 1896, avd nearly 72,000,00@ bushels smaller than at thie time in 1595,
Wheat exports for the week reflect the temporary chech to demand caused by prices and show a falling offaggregating 2,478,775 bushels, against 4,449,000 bushels last week, 1,799,000 bushels in this week a year ago, and 1,882,000 bushels in 1896. Corn exports were larger this week than for any week for nore than a year past, aggrega- ting 7,164,000 bushels, sgaiast 4,216,000 bushels last week, 3,127,000 bushels in this week a year ago and 1,891,000 bushels in 1896.

Cupid breaks his bow at the sight of a face full of pimples. Hollow cheeks, suoken eyes, and a sallow complexion will defy his best intentions. Beauty is more than skin deep. The skin is merely the surface on which written in plain characters the conditiew of the body. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is good for the complexion because it makes the whole body healtbhy—-tecause it clears and purifies the blood, makes the digestion strong and clears out impurities of all kinds. By increasing the abilitv to as- Similate nutritivus food,acd by the infus sion of its own ingredients it enriches the b'ood and so makes’ sol. d, healthy flesh. {t cures diseases of the lungs, liver, stom - ach, bowels, skin and scalp, simply because all these diseases spring from the same Cause--a disordered digestion and consequent impure blood.

Spanish Character.
| free
Sir William F P Napier in his history cf the Peninsular war says :
“The Spanish character, in relation with public affairs, is marked with inordinate oride and arrogance. Dilatory, improvi- dent, singly fand en mass they cherish at absurd confidence that everything suggest»
ed by their heated imaginations is practicable; they see no difficulties, and the obstacles
encountered are attributed to treachery, hence the sadden murder of so many virtu~ ous men io this commotiou. Kind and warm in his attaclments, savage in hie enmity the Spaniard is patient under pri- vations, firm in boldly suffering, prone to eulden anger, vindictive, remem beriog in- sult longer than injury, bleod and cruel in revenge. With a natural perception of what is noble, his promiee is lofty, but his passions always overrule his reason, his performance is mean. It is not surprising that great expectations were at first formed of the heroism of the Spaniards, and those ex~ pectations were greatly augmented by their agreable qualities; there is not any people more attractive in the intercourse of society. Their majestic language, fine persons and becoming dress; their lively imaginations; the inexpressible beauty of their women, and the air of romance they throw over every action aud infuse into every feeling, combine to ; deludethe senses and impose upon tLe judgment. As companions they aft the most agreeable of mankind, But danger and disappointment attend the man who, confiding intheir promiees and energy, ventures upon a difficult enterdrise. Never do to day’ what you can put cff ua- til tomorrow isthe favorite proverb of Spain.”
