with Mr.. Whites generous assistance,

prelude was beautiful, and such pieces as

old credit to the school, and we hope that
ere long the concert may be given again,

THE revenue cutter Wolcott returned

O'Clock. A few minutes after she came to
anchor, the Italian bark Iania, going out
Of the harbor, struck on Point Hudson,
and the Wolcott Immediately proceeded
10 her assistance, but as the tide was fall

nine O'Clock the steamer Goliah arrived
and offered her services to the bark for a
reasonable sum, and Capt. Selden with
drew, as he didn't consider he had any
right to interfere with private tugs. AT
about four O'Clock on Thursday morning,
she was taken of by the steamer Goliah
and towed into the bay where she will un-
dergo a proper surveillance before going
TO sea. The cause assigned for her ground
ing Is attributable to a sudden change oi
wind, throwing her sails aback, and a
strong tide running which drove her on.
She was gotten of apparently uninjured.

Laborers' Wages in New York.

The New York Tribune has compiled
a table, showing the reduction in the
wages of men and women which has
taken place since 1874, and the like re-
auctions which have taken place il
the cost of living in the same period
These changes have made marked
effect on the labor organizations and
trade societies. The hard times hav
ing forced Il reduction Of expenditure
on the part of society generally; a re
duction in employment followed of ne,
ceSSity. As q consequence, the scales
of wages established by the arbitrary
rules of trade unions became absurd.
1t was no longer question as to what
wages a workman should be permitted
to work for, but where the man could
get work at any price. The number
of unemployed became SO great that
all attempts to maintain a fixed rate of
wages were abandoned. In some
branches of employment the number
discharged was proportiOnately SO
great that the unions have been
diSbanded. 1t was no use to ''strike, >
because the employer was ready and
anxious to suspend business altogether
The table shows the rates of wages
paid to men in over fifty trades and to
women in large number and that in
the former class the reduction has
been from 10 to 20 per cent, and in
wOmen's wages from 25 to 35 per cent,
Even in that class of female operatives
known as '.help," and which have
hitherto been able to demand undim-
inished wages, a considerable reduc-
ton has taken place. This is largely
due TO the fact that families generally
have reduced the number employed,
thereby increasing the number seek.
ing work. The wages of this class in
New York have declined from $14 to
SIS per month to SO and So per
month. The paper from which we
take this statement, however, shows
that those who have been able to main
tain regular employment are doing
better even on the reduced wages than
at the higher rates in 1870. There
has been even greater reduction in
the cost Of living giving to the wages
of 1876 a greater purchasing power
than the larger wages of 1872. The
severity of the hard times falls on those
who are wholly unemployed.

Thr Mark etS.

From information received from q
private source, an extensive Milwaukee grain
house summarizes the condition and charac-
ter of the new grain crops in Iowa, Minneso-
ia, and Wisconsin, as follows:
Our returns from reliable party sent by
US and now travelling in the west and north
west, strongly indicate that wheat in Iowa,
Minnesota, and Wisconsin, while of good
quality, will be fully 25 per cent. short OF an
average yield. In Iowa the average on old
farms is less than in former years, and the
threshing so far has developed considerable
shrinkage in the quality per acre. The aver
age in the northern counties of Iowa will turn
out from five to ten bushels per acre, the lat
ter being the exception, and perhaps seven
TO eight bushels being a fair average. There
is some old wheat in farmers hands but it is
not of a quality likely to compete with the
new wheat, as in most cases the dealers who
hold 1t in country warehouses are compelled
to keep turning it over to improve or preserve
its condition.
In Minnesota the yield turns out about the
same as in Iowa, the quality, however, being
excellent. In many counties one-halt totwo-
thirds crop is reported, and farmers general
~ have taken advantage of the fine weather
to stack
In Wisconsin the conditions are about the
same as in Iowa and Minnesota, the quality
being good but the yield poor--in many sec
tons one half crop and in none over two
thirds. The old wheat remaining in the hands
OF dealers and farmers is not being sent for
ward and the receipts from the new crop, in
any event. must for the next thirty days be
very light During August no figure likely to
be reached in this market would have any ef-
feet in materially increasing the receipts, as
farmers are not as anxious TO realize upon as
to save what they have raised.
Oats are a fair yield, but very light The
clos,
dictate that in weight two-thirds OF the crcp
is large estimate.
Barley, with the exception of a few western
counties IN Minnesota turns out poorly.
There have been few cars received, and that
up to grade of No. is good, and brings about
9Oc, but the poor is very poor, and brings
about 55c. On the whole, we should call the
crop about two-thirds Of an average as to the
quantity and quality.
Corn is reported as up to the average in
Iowa, except in counties bordering on the
Missouri river and Dakota, where grasshop-
pers have done great damage, in many places
having altogether destroyed the crop In Il
linois the condition has improved during
the last 20 days, but it isyet below the aver
age.
St. Paul and Minneapolis at last advces.
were paying So to Soc for No. ? new, and go
to 81 Il for No. new.
