Capture Of a Devil Fish in Flori.s:
[Fervandina Observer.7


\ monster devil fish was caught undeo
the New York steam ship wharf on Mon
day afternoon. He in some way got I'M
der, but was unable to find his way out
from among the piling. Some men at
work upon the wharf heard the splashing
which he made and fired several shots at
him, but as they seemed to have no effect
a harpoon was obtai,ed and his capture
effected, fifteen men being required to
tow him to shore. The blood which es-
capped from him colored the water for
about ten feet on either side. He was
sixteen feet in width and fifteen feet in
.ength. His fins are about four feet long,
and the tail about the same length and
not much larger than PERSONS finger.
His mouth opened to the width of two
feet and was eighteen inches in length
and projecting from each side of it was a
feeler about one foot wide and two feet
long, which he rolled up and I'm.
rolled at will,
So far as can be ascertained, there has
been only one Of these singular fish
caught in this region before this one.

Condition of the Foreign Markets.

The London Times Of the 18th says of
the foreign harvest and the condition of
crops:
The harvest is nearly at an end. The
reports as to the quality of new wheat
are generally good. The markets in
M1nc'ng Lane continue quiet. Sugar is
depressed, and ;rices favor buyers. James
Baird, whom the Times considers high
authority, writes that journal as follows ::
1.-The publication Of the returns of acre.
age exhibits the smallest breadth of
wheat we have had since the returns hay
been taken, and halt million acres less
than the average extent previous to 1860,
when we had four millions fewer people.
The decrease in Ireland has been IA per
cent. from 1874, and in Great Britain the
decrease has been nearly per cent. -
lie estimates the amount of wheat re-
CURED from abroad at eleven million
quarters.
