The Markets.

The Spring shipments of the s'Min-
sota:' grade Of wheat have been disastrous to
the extra rates heretofore ruling for oil north
western consignments. Reports of damaged
fields and the consequent untavorable PROS
poets tor the coming crop, however, have had
stimulating effect on prices which has pre-
vented anything like panic. Nothing can
revive the reputation Of the "Minnesota"
grade which has been lost by the poor care
Of last years crop after the storms, but rigid
measures on the part Of every farmer and all
owners of small warehouses, to keep in the
best possible condition the grain of the COM
ing harvest. This reputation, but lately ac-
knowledged, is worth from three to five cents
per bushel, and for an average crop would
yield the region in Iowa, Minnesota and Wis
consin which produces it, over three millions
OF dollars. The closing price in New York,
by latest advices, was, tor No. 2, @l.1O@91. .l8; !;

DISRAELI FAILING.

LcnOOn Letter 10 New lOfk llMes
There can be no doubt that he is not
the man he was, and that the labor
and responsibilities of his position as
head OF the government are too much
for him. He has been ailing for some
time back, but as far us his specific in.
disposition is concerned, he is now
rather better. But the cause of anxiety
is not 80 much his health rs the failing
in mental power and strength of char
acter which is becoming constantly
more conspicuous. He seems to alter.
nate between moments of curious ex-
citement, when he strains himself to
the utmost, and longer intervals of
deadly lethargy, when he can hardly
be reused to pay attention to anything.
He has no grasp of Parliamentary busi.
ness, and leaves the heads of depart
ments to do pretty much as they
please. When he takes part in the
business of the House, it is impossible
not to be struck by the sort of dreamy,
dazed, bewildered air with which he
talks, almost like Il man under the in
tluence of opium of some kindred drug,
and not sure where he is or what he is
saying.

Practical Suggestions.

An exchange, remarking on the chat
ing of the breasts of horses, says: The
common practice of using pads of sheep
skin under the collar is Objectionable,
especially in warm weather, because
it accumulates heat and makes the
breast tender. A better way is to take
a piece of thick and smooth leather,
cut it out just the size or a little wider
than the collar, and let it lie fat on
the shoulders and breast of the horse.
This will lie still and smooth on the
horses neck, while the collar itself
moves about, and SO will prevent chat
ing. In addition to this let the breasts
of working horses be washed of every
night in clean water.
