BRADSTREETS REPORT.
New York. May 24.—Special cable and
telegraphic advices to Bradstreet's cov-
ering the principal points of accumula-
tion indicate the following changes in
available supplies last Saturday, as com-
pared with the preceding Saturday:
Wheat—United States and Canada,
east of Rickies, Increased 800.000 bushels;
afloat for and in Europe inereared 2,-
loo.ooo bushels; world's supply, total, in-
creased 2.'.HX>.000 bushels.
Corn—United States and Canada, east
Rockies, decreased 2,486,000.
Oats—United States and Canada, east
Rockies, decreased 679,000 bushels.
The combined stock of wheat at Port-
land, Ore., and Tacoma and Seattle,
Wash., show an increase of 309.000 bush-
els for the week.
SECOND CALL NEES3ED.
LIABLE TO FALL TO PIECES AT ANY
TIME.
New York, May 24.—A dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says: Another
call for volunteers is under serious con-
sideration by the military authorities, al-
though it may not be issued for at least
ft week or two, or at any rate, until tin-
Invasion of Cuba has begun and the ne-
cessity for additional troops is clearly-
demonstrated. The difficulties of arming
and equippnlg many of the soldiers al-
ready mustered into the service are rap-
idly disappearing, and from the experi-
ence gained in the recent call, army offi-
cers are satisfied that more than a month
will be consumed In mustering an addi-
tional r o.000 men. and that In ibis time
equipment should be prepared for that
number. The unexpected and extraordin-
ary drain on the regular and volunteer
force by the Philippines expedition, neces-
sitating at the outset l^.O'jO men. together
with the prospect that Spain will not be
Influenced by European powers to aban-
don her futile struggle, but will wage war
until her resources are exhausted, is
causing the military authorities consid-
erable anxiety regarding the sufficiency
of the armed force of the government for
carrying out the responsibilities which
have been undertaken.
The simple task of freeing Cuba has
been increased, through the necessities
arising in the Philippines and through
the probability of being compelled t >
; maintain an army of occupation in Cuba
until the war is beginning

TIIE BOURSE IN PARIS.
Paris, May 24.—Prices opened llrm on
the bourse today then weakened on real-
izations and closed uull, owing to af-
ternoon rumors that the Americans had 1 the
suffered a reverse off Havana. Rio Tin. ' only for the durati-
tos declined severely on account of a
rumor that the tax on the output of
copper Is to be increased.
Porto Rico Is added to the
ually. as the Philippines were, the mag-
nitude of American responsibility will be
materially increased, and further increase
of the army will be compulsory. Many
public men are beginning to express the
conviction that the forces of tin- I nited
States will be as difficult to withdraw
from Cuba as those of England have been
from Egypt, although there is no moditl-
catlon up to this time of the resolution to
make Cuba a free and autonomous repub-
lic and not a mere dependent territorial
acquisition. With regard to the Philip-
pines and Porto Rico, however, a disposi-
tion is already manifested to regard them
as fruits of victory, and in view of the
notorious incapacity of their inhabitants
for self-government, to take permanent
possession of them and provide them with
complete colloidal establishments. Event-
ually they may become In part self-gov-
erning. intt the strong arm of th*- United
States may have to be exerted indefinite-
ly to preserve their peace and prosperity.
The authorized str.imth of the army a
month ago was 2.V|M" men. it has now
been increased to l'.''.>,500. and and of the
latter number 11*4will be actually un-
der arms and in the field before June 1.
Of this increase, by the expansion of the
regular service through its reorganiza-
tion undct the three battalion formation.
.16,000 men have been added, the other
portion having been added through the
call for volunteer and T>y means of the
enlistment of two brigades of immunes
and one of engineers. It Is already the
