The annual returns received at the statisti-
cal division of the Department Of Agriculture
show a decided, if not heavy, increase OF
stock during the past year. The increase IS
In horses. cattle and sheep. The aggregate
Of swine is nearly equal to the total OF last
year. The increase of horses is mostly con-
fned to the New England States, while the
decrease in cows is confined almost entirely
to the Southern States. Those in which
there is no change of the number of cows are
Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and Kentucky.
The prices of farm stock are better sustained
than the rates obtained for other products of
the farm. The prices of horses have advanced
in nearly all sections of the country Sheep
are somewhat higher in certain sections, and
a trifle lower in others. The price Of milch
cows has advanced in the South, but declined
slightly in the North. Horses bring the aver
age highest price in New Jersey; oxen in
Maine, and that of mules is highest in the
Southern States. A continued advance in the
price of sheep is apparent throughout the
country, while that Of hogs has increased in
New England. The advance is most marked
in sheep, amounting to nearly one per cent,
or about one million in all. The increase in
horses and cattle is about two per cent.

DEFALcATIoN IN TIE POST OFFICE.

The Superintendent OF the Newspaper
Mail Department Suspended During
an cstigation-Supposed Deficit OF
$4,000.
For the last two or three days whispers have
been heard Of defalcation in the Post ONCE, and
rumor had 1t that the superintendent OF the news
paper mail department was the supposed guilty
person. It was not known positively until last
night that defalcation Of something like nifty
thousand dollars had really been found, and that
attempts had been made by the government Ofi-
Gals to hush up the matter as much possible all
facts having been refused the newspapers.
For the purpose OF ascertaning all the informa-
ton possible in connection with the theft, an at
tache OF the HERALD was despatched in quest OF
some one OF the gentlemen holding high official po-
sitlons in the Post ONCE Department He entered
the building about nine p. NJ, and after passing
through number or compartments In which
busy clerks handling, with lightning rapidly,
tons, finally succeeded in finding the party he de-
sired to see. In reply to various inter
rogatories the gentleman addressed stated
that 1t was well known throughout the
in the books OF Mr.. stephen H. Knapp,
the superintendent OF the mail department, and 1t
was supposed that deficit OF $4,000 or $4,000
had been discovered. Mr.. Knapp was sns-
pended from his duties last Wednesday, and would
remain suspended pending an investigation, which
the only persons who could furnish any accurate
details OF the AFFAIR were the Postmaster, As
sistant Postmater and Cashier; that none OF the
gentlemen were at that time In the building, and
that even II they were the probability was that
they would decline to supply any facts for publica-
ton.
As nothing additional could be asccrtained the
reporter was reluctantly compelled TO leave.
