The coffee Crop

We sss q careful examination of tle state

the Amsterdam Hqudchbl0t. the Aurs-
burg AHgolauiHe ZeitUng and the official
statements Of the Dutch Trading Company.
We have heretofore euleayorcd 10 obtain
accurate information concerning the
total coffee crop Of the world from those iu
this country who have been hitherto sup.
posed 10 DO therep0si,gries ofsucb statistic,
but without success. 10 De- now seen that
the total crop Of 1854 is placed a. 1900, 900
cwt and that il Is quite sufficient 10 d pei
all fears Of q scarcity. There is therefore no
reason Why the present abnormal prices Of
coffee should be maintained. Holders win
naturally resist the decline, but it will come
neyertheless.-AmcricDn grocer 9th 1dL

Sherman for President.
Special Telegram to Chicago Tribune,
WASHINGTON, Septemb Der p.

WAsHINGToN, September y.
A coterie Of Washington politicians,
who have been for some time quietly
discussing the propriety Of bringing
out Gen. Sherman as a candidate for
the Presidency, by an independent or
Democratic convention, on platform
Of amnesty and reconciliation, are
now calling public attention to his
claims. A column article appears to-
day reviewing his record since the
close Of the war, and declaring that it
has been more liberal and judiciOus,
on the question Of reconstruction and
good government throughout the
country, than that Of any other man
prominent in the Republican party.
1t Is not thought that Gen. sherman
is priyy 10 any movement OF this ma
ture, as he has repeatedly declared,
during the last few months, that he
preferred 10 remain General of the
Army rather than serve four years in
] the White House.

The Business Gu COX.
/ From .ha Now York Tribune.

Accounts from the several depart
ments of business represented below
show that business men are not dis
Outraged or gloomy, but on the con-
trary. moderately satisfied with the
present business and prospects. From
the agricultural parts of the country
orders are nearly rs large as usual, and
money is easy; and although less can
lie said for the manufacturing sections,
there is no marked depression Of
feeling. Most city dealers and jobbers
are expecting only fair degree Of
business this season, but say there is
nothing in the condition OF affairs to
warrant complaints or anxiety, In
most branches trade through the sum-
mer and thus far this fall has compared
well with that Of last year, which up
to the time Of the panic was unusually
good. It is not difficult now to find
those who talk discouragingly, but
where there were a hundred Il year
ago there are barely half dozen now
and the great majority Of mercantile
men are very confident that the per-
manent good of business will prove to
have followed from the financial crash
Of 1873
THE DEMAND FOR PRODUCE GREAT.
Grain, -four, produce aud provisions
have a great deal to do with regulating
other trades, and as the various pros
duets are turned into cash, so will
other trades be her raised or depres~
sed, according to the prices obtained.
The reports that have been received
by the IribRac reporter from the
various persons engaged in the differ
Gut branches Of the trade show that
there is every appearance Of "a healthy
prospect for the fall, although perhaps
a slow kind of trade. The export de-
mand is considered to be very good, ANA
| during September the supply of wheat
40 this market will be large. The
/ farmers in the West are apparently in.
clined to hold back the grain, perhaps
with the hope Of obtaining higher
! prices but it appears to be the general
| opinion Of those engaged in the bust
ness that they will gain nothing by
| holding back, and only be compelled
( to keep store subject to all the vari-
Gus disasters without any corresponds
I ing advantage. The dealers think that
the cash in hand will be far more
( beneficial 90 them.

The Jonesboro Herala and TriJune

The Jonesboro Heraid and IriJUBc
says
A large wheat crop will be sown This fall,
larger than has been for years There is q
decided Improvement in blowing and pre-
pairing the soil for wheat Good farming
will pay as well in other crops as in the
wheat crop.
The Changers will leave town in process
sion, at 10 o'clock, Thursday morning. The
Union CoTnet Band, win accompany them
10 Ethe Fair Grounsd, and furnish excellent
music. We hope to see every Granger in
the county present.
