THERE is a less supply of -four
at New York and most of the
grain and market cehters CI
our country by some three
hundred thousand barrels than
at the same time last year, and
also less than for any year
since 1867. Wheat, pork and
pork products are advancing
IN the principal markets OF the
country. Whether all this
will be sustained rmains to be
seen, but the indications are
that a foreign demand for sur
plus is the chief cause of the
advance.

SOME time ago, says the
Swiss Times, two youths at
Berne addressed a letter 10
President Grant, asking him to
aid them in gathering a col.
lection of American postage
stamps. A few weeks ago the
youths unexpectedly received
through the Envoy at Berne, an
assortment of United States
stamps, accompanied by a let
ter, in which the President
sail his many duties had pre-
vented him undertaking the
collection himself, ard that
therefore his youngest son had
taken the matter in hand.
