Production AND CONSUMPTION OF
CEREALs.-A table prepared in 1869
by Samuel Ii. Ruggles, illustrating
the chief fields OF cereal production,
gave the total in bushels for Europe
at 4, 754, SIC, GOA. or in the ratio of 16
bushels per head of the population,
while our product in the United
States was set down at ], 405, 449, $50,
or in the ratio OF SO bushels per
head. Our largest competitor is
Russia, which in this table is set
down at ], 4S4, 437 500 bushels. This,
though beyond our aggregate, is be-
low our ratio, being but PIP bushels
rer head. Our crops increase stead
lily, SO that in 1871 the total reached
Loo, 000 600 bushels, or nearly forty
million tons. In that year the ten
western and northwestern States
produced 1,O00O0O0O0 bushels, or
%, 100000 tons, valued at $500, 900,
600. The extent of the American
consumption may be seen by the
fact that of all this vast proportion
of cereals, the export of grain in
1872 only reached 100000 tons.
The receipts at the same ports dur.
ing the year were 4,180,O00 tons,
leaving a consumption of 1,280,0OC
tons, distributed thus: Montreal,
10000; Boston, $4,000: New York,
$4,000; Philadelphia, 10000; Bal.
timore, 10000. 1t appears thai
Philadelphia is, after all, the CHIEF
point of domestic consumption, on
account of the supplies sent to the
coal and iron districts. Large as
the local market is in New York,
the actual consumption there is TO-
GOO tons less than that of Boston
and 10000 tons less than that OF
Philadelphia, These figures are
taken from statements contained in
an address delivered before the New
York Chamber Of Commerce by
Hon. W. j. MeAlpine.

New YORK, Nov. l9.-The jury in
the Tweed case this morning found a
verdict of guilty on all the counts.
The defence takes no exception to the
verdict, except general verdict on
all the counts. The jury were dis
charged. Counsel for defense are en-
deavoring to obtain an arrest of judg-
ment on the ground of want Of juris-
diction of the Court.

in a letter from Havana on the night

Virginius reached Santiago, the Span

MONTREAL, Nov. 1S.-Navigation

there is an ice jam above the Saute

in front of the Alma and Munroe Is
several feet thick, and it is believed
that it reaches to the bottom of the
canal. So early and severe cold snap
has not been experienced here for
years, the loss to shippers and forward
ers, of boats, which are obliged to re-
main where they are, will be very
great.
TORONTO, Nov. 1S.-The high wind
which prevailed on Monday rose to a
gale last evening and furious snow

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-The Adj
ministration is understood to hold that
the Virginius is casus beW with
Spain, even admitting that she was
carrying succor to the Cubans because
Spain has never recognized state of
war in Cuba. When Spanish gum
boats Were seized i'm New York, in
1869, Spain argued that Cubans were
not recognized as belligerents, and
the sale of armed vessels to Spain
was legitimate. They state that the
Department accepted this view, and
the gunbOats were released. Under
the same principle we have right to
sell guns to Cubans, and ship them on
American vessels. ii

ANOTHER OPINION.

EDITOR HERALD.-I overheard an
eastern visitor remark at the "Ska-
ting Rink" during the show last
week, allow about the. grape and
wine interest?" I have heard that
Los Angeles was noted for its grapes
and wine." Perhaps the President of
the Society can throw some light on
this subject, he is one of the largest
grape and wine producers in the
county. Query: Why does not the
President of the Society manifest
enough interest in agriculture to make
an exhibit of our resources in that
line? ~~.es@s.sss. "a efm ssvFrss
Last year, in his annual address, he
swOre by the grape" This year in
his annual address but by the way,
who has had the pleasure of listening
to the annual address, or any other
address, during the fair? Perhaps in
the hurry and hustle at the race
track it was overlooked or forgotten;
and as it is 'snevertOO late to do good"
it would be interesting to have it
published yet. Some of us would like
to know what he swears by this year;
it would be interesting if not instruc-
tive. %ssts& fa1 - 6. GRANGER.

The Meeting Of the Fair Associa'
ton.

A very stormy session took place
yesterday. Mr.. Rose, Thomas Mott,
Mr.. Ferguson and one or two Others,
were strong in their criticisms OF the
HERALD, for its publications OF late.
These gentlemen, finding the HERALD
to be fearless and outspoken, when in
the right, expressed their serious dis
appreciation, and were very indignant.
A little tempest in little tea pot was
the result.
They did very little business, but
great deal discussing-nO insinuation
meant by the termination; and finally
passed the very resolution that the
HERALD and all true friends OF the
society are desirous of having carried
out. They offered the 24O remaining
shares of q ock to the farmers, at the
same price that the original share
holders obtained stock, and requested
the discontented to come forward and
subscribe. Thus no interest is chagred
for the time the association has
been running. If guarantees are
made that the Fair will not relapse
into its present ruts, that it will here
after represent the interests of the far
mers as well as the racers, this stock
need not remain unsold one month.
But no agriculturist can be enticed
into the association unless guarantees
are made.
If, as Mr.. Rose very sensibly propos-
ed, the $1,000 appropriation be given to
the agricultural department, and this
be divided into 20 premiums, in the
following manner: 10 prizes of 500;
10 of $50; 10 of $25; 10 of $40; 80 of SIS,
this would make large and varied
list of premiums. 1t would induce a
great number of exhibitors; and then
our contemporary would not be
obliged to say that "every exhibitor,
except four obtained prizes" and the
prizes would be of more value than
$3.50. A person exhibiting thinks lit
tie Of prize won without competition.

LETTER FROM WILMINGTON.
WILMINGTON, Nov. Is, Is

WILMINGTON, Nov. IL, 1873.
EDITOR HERALD.-Last Saturday,
an elderly man living in Compton,
whom we will call John Jones, was
arraigned before Justice Stratton, in
Wilmington, and tried for obtaining
money under false pretenses. His son
had sold beef cattle to Mr.. HI. of this
place, for which he was to be paid S24O.
AS soon as the father heard of the sale,
he went to Mr.. H. and collected the
money, stating that his son had au-
thOrized him to do so. Two days after
this, the son also went to Mr.. III. and
demanded the money, stating that he
had not authorized his father to ocollect
it, and that as Mr.. H. had paid the
wrong man, he must pay the money
second time, and to the right man.
Upon this, the anger of Mr.. HI. was
rightly kindled. He Immediately
sued old John Jones for the money,
and at the same time had him arrested
for obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. Both parties being wealthy
and of high standing, the trial on Sat
urday drew together a great crowd of
people. -a -..e
Frank Cowden, ESQ.,, Of Whining
ton, conducted the prosecution, and
Mr.. Sandford of Los Angeles, the de-
fence. The contest between them was
exciting, and consumed most of the
day.
The defense clearly proved that
the father was the real owner of the
cattle, and that the son had sold them
without his knowledge or consent.
Mr.. Jones was therefore acquitted, and
his character vindicated.
The first rain fall of the season COM
menced at O'clock this morning, ac-
companied with thunder and light
ming. 1t continued raining hard till
afternoon, nor is it entirely over vet,
for the clouds look black and threat
ming. Should the weather continue
warm, grass will soon cover the
ground, and cattle and sheep will have
abundant pasture. Everybody pre-
diets a wet winter and prosperous
year. 'l.i A''h ~ sisA 'si4

Hop CULTURE.-The San Francisco
Bulletin estimates that at the present
rate of production, there is no danger
of the business Of cultivating being
overdone. 1t says:
The crop of '73 was but little more
than half enough for home consump-
ton, leaving $1,000 bales to be i'm
ported. The new crop is quoted in
the Eastern market, at from 35 cents
to As cents pound, and the range is
from IS cts. to As cts. in this market.
The few men who have gone into
hop culture on this side of the country
have followed the business until they
understand it, from the planting Of
the roots to the shipping of the bales
to market, have done well. 1t may
never become large crop here, but it
fits in we'll with other departments of
agriculture, and the results are thus
far sufficiently encouraging to stimu-
late an increase of the business.
Experiments made in this section
of the State, lead to the belief that
it is specially adapted, in soil and eli
mate, to successful hop culture.

POKER IN COLORADO. The town of
Fairplay, Colorado, SO named from
the fair manner in which it's people
play poker, was enlivened not long
since by a little game, whose satisfac-
tory result will commend it favorably
to all who become entangled in like
pursuits. Before the "draw," Mr..
Graves held "king full" and Mr..
Walker rejoiced in three aces; but af-
ter that interesting ceremony, Walker
exhibited four aces, and claimed the
stakes. whereupon Graves drew a six
shooters and reckoned his hand was the
best. Walker Immediately supple
mented the four aces with bowie
knife, and the dispute was settled to
the perfect satisfaction of the outsiders.
There was enough in the "pot" to pur-
chase two handsome collins, and the
next day both gentlemen took up per-
manent residences, side by side, In the
beautiful cemetery that reflects so
much credit upon Fairplay. dNti
