In the way of mining we learn that the pro-
duction of quicksilver is increasing with great
rapldity. owing to the discovery OF new mines o.
cinnabar in California and the success attending
their workings. In consequence the Market ioi
ouicksilyer has been well supplied, and the price mas
declined from 81 10, gold, per pound, last NoVeH-
Der, to 70075c gold, per pound to-day, WIN proS-
poets of still further decline. Heretofore power
u combination controlled the great clnnabar mines
of the world, regulated their yield, and hxed the
price to suit themselves. Some time since this or
ganzaton Increased the price of quicksilver to such
an extent as to stimulate explorations
for new mines, and various companies were
formed in San Francisco for this purpose, some OF
which have been successful, and it is now known
that California is very rich in cinnabar deposits.
The ouartz mills of that State alone consume about
800. 900 pounds per annum. The principal sources
of supply have been the mines of Almaden in Spain,
which were discovered by the Romans, and have
been in operation for over 1000 years; the great
mines at ldria in Austria, and the famous New
Almaden mines i'll California, which are largely
owned by New-York capitalists.
The assessment levied by the Yellow Jacket MIN
ing Company, due May H. amounts to $l2O.OOo.
The Chollar-Potos Company has also levied an as
sessmcnt of s. per share, due May 10, aggregatlng
$4,000 These assessments indicate renewal OF
mining activity consequent upon the recent success
ful operations of neighbOrng mines. The latest quo
tatons of Yellow Jacket stock is $50 per share, and
of Chollar-Potos $40 per share. Both mines are in
the Washoe District of Nevada. The Jefferson Min
ing Company in Ely District, Nevada, paid
dividend last month amounting to $4,000.
The bullion shipments from the Georgetown Colo
rado) Silver Mines during the last week in April
amounted TO little over $4,000. Considerable ore
was sent East at the same time to be forwarded to
Freberg. Germany, and Swansea, Wales. The
Dives Mine is reported as being extensively worked
since the removal of the injunction formerly upon 1T.

Certain parties purporting to be in receipt of cable
advices, reported this morning that the Bank of
England was losing specie heavily. This statement
incorrect, from the fact that my special London
dispatch, timed p. IN. (which was later confirmed
by the Associated Press dispatch, stated that the
Bank was gaining bullion largely, and that the
amount gone into the Bank of England on balance
to-day was f160,0OO j. j. HERMAN.

Lire Stock at the Centennial.

OuC ot the most important and alIrac'
tive features OF the coming Centennial
Anniversary at Philadelphia next year,
will be the exhibition OF live stock, which
will be confined TO the months of Sept.
and October, as follows: Horses, mules
and asses, September TO September 10 ;
horned cattle, September ~ to October
20. Exhibitors will be expec ed to pro-
vide for feeding their stock. The bureau
will furnish, at cost prices, all forage and
other food at depots conveniently located
within the grounds. Exhibitors will also
be expected 10 furnish their own attend
ants, on whom the care Ot. feeding, water :
ing and cleaning the animals Gnd also OF
cleaning the stalls will rest. II will be
seen by the above statement that there
will be a fine opportunity to exhibit. i'm
proved stock to the American people and
to visitors from foreign lands. 1t is to be
hoped that the breeders of this country
will appreciate this occasion, and with
becoming pride endeavor TO make the
Centennial Exhibition a great success,
commensurste with American enterprise
and the vast resources OF our great coun-
try.
A. recent session of The American
Institute Farmers Club. while The subject
OF the forthcoming exhibition was under
discussion. Mr. Frank d. Curtis made the
following pertinent remarks regarding
the character OF the live stock that should
be shown by our own people at the In
teruational Exhibition
i beg TO suggest 81 this early day that
the exhibition OF live stock be confined
entirely to American born animals. Let
1t be native American in ali respects II
certainly is not coming up TO The true
idea OF national pride and appreciation
for al American citizen TO exhibit for
eign bred animal. Let Us As breeders
stand OF tall upon our own merits For
our own paiI we have no iesrs, for we
have iaith in The merits OF home bred
stock. Ii We depart from this standard
the exhibition will dwindle in character
and interest, and the ecizt ol success will
be a questionable honor. The exhibition
under other circumstances may De simply
s question OF ontlay in the expense OF
inn har ~
skill, and enterprise asd success OF the
American treeder. We should be glad
TO see a rule adopted by the Bureau OF
Agriculture OF the International Exhibi.
ton that Americans should be limited ex
clusively TO the exhibition OF American
bred stock. Wherever there have been
established any breeds or families of stock
in this country we trust that their admir-
ers will respond in iull strength. Let
Kentucky marshal her stately short-horns
10 the manor born, let Vermont gather
from her mountain sides the productive
merinos; let Pennsylvania bring her
Chesterwhite pigs without stint, and the
West the Poland Chinas;" the Victorias
will be there to do their part. We want
10 see American Berkshires, Snfolks,
Essexes and Yorkshires; American Jer-
seys from New Eugland, and Devons and
Ayrshires and all other breeds honored
with birth upon our soil"
