The repor's of bread riots in different countries of Europe have added to the anxiety to get wheat before it gets any higher, and the buying bas been greatly stimulated bya report that Russia is about to probibit exports The war is an unimportant factor inthe advance. Nobody has given athought to that, in the last few days, as an influence on prices. The great scarcity of wheat abroad and the enormous European demand for it is the important consideration.

Washington, May 4—It is said that the extraordinary expenditures for the army and navy for the firat six months of the coming fiscal year will make the general deficiency appropriation bill, now being held in the House committee on appro- priations, reach an aggregate of about-120 million dollars. This is the rough calculation of Chairman Cannon of the House commitice on appropriations, and others cf that committee, assuming thet all these expenditures will be provided for in a single deficiency bill instead of un separate bills. The amount i« de pendant upon the prosecutios of thc war. The general deficiency till bas been in readimess for report from the committee to the House for sev eral days and new will not be report ed until just b-fore the adjournment of Congress, which many leaders of the Chairman Din means, and Ch appropriation House, including of the ways and Cannon of the believe le of will ba reac nil Between np department wi-l eubmit its war csti- mates for the first part of the next fiscal year covering expenditures io be made until a month after Con gress shall reconvene.

The cost of maintaining the amal gamaied regular and voluntear army is a great deal more than most people appreciate. The item of subsistence alone will be anenormousone. The subsistence ofticars have reported to Secretary Alger that provisioning American dealers thought they would get over their anxiety to buy, but it bas grown greater instead of less. The advances in prices bas resulted in greatly increasing the sales by farmers in this country, but the primery markets are not receiv- ing enough to supply the demand, and it begirs to look as if the pres ent rush of wheat to Europe might exhaust home supplies before a new crop is ready for use and make wheat actually scarce in this country as well as abroad. Crop prospects in this country are 80 excecdingly promising that the €verage sp¢calator has been influ enced by tlem, rather than by the foreign news, and bas been “bearish” and ready to sell wheat short on every advance. But afew far-sighted speculators have kept on the “long” side, and have made money. Everybody Says So.

The wounds, it is believed, will prove fatal. An old grudge is supposed to have been the cause of the shooting. Franscen was working on Fowler's ranch; Carlson was on another ranch four miles away. Thomas escaped. the army in the field to August 31 will involve an expenditure of nearly $5,000,060. The estimate for sub sistence is 20 cents per man and is for an army of 185,000 (eonsolidated force of 60,000 regulars and 225,000 volunteers) $37,000 per day. It has been recognized now that the esti- mates prepared must not contem- plate the maintenance of an army for a less period thana year. This means an annual cost of $13,505,000.
