THE EUROPEAN GRAIN MARKET

The Mark-lme Express. in its review of
the British corn trade for the past week,
says: There is little change in the agri-
cultural situation, as outdoor labor is in
fairly forward state. In England and
Scotland farmers are busily engaged in
the preparation of the land for the recep-
ton OF the spring crops. Vegetation has
made rapid strides Of late, there having
been little or no frost. The forward ap-
pearance of field and garden would be
entirely satisfactory were 1t not for the
fear that the weather during April and
May should starve the cereals and wither
the blossoms of the fruit trees. The grow
ing wheat crop looks best upon light dry
lands; upon heavier soils the plant Is not
favorably spoken of, still complaints are
few. The peace prospects, the fairly
anticipated arrivals both from America
and Southern Russia have combined to
reduce the wheat trade to lamentable
state of depression. During the past week
the inactivity has been such that in the
absence of sales 1T has been q matter of
some difficulty to record the fiuctuatio ons
in prices. That the withdrawal of the
prop which the uncertain aspect of the
political matters furnished to the grain
trade should depress values was antici-
pated.
But the concession of a shilling to two
shillings per quarter has failed to improve
the demand for wheat, which it might
fairly be expected to have done, having
regard to the low state into which millers
have allowed their stocks to run all over
the Kingdom. An explanation is prob
ably to be found in the fact that supplies
in prospective are too heavy to allow the
concession offered to have much weight,
and until some definite idea can be form
ed of the amount of wheat this country
may expect from Odessa, Nicolaieff, and
other Southern Russian ports, millers
will only buy from hand to mouth. That
the accumulation of grain in the Black
Sea ports is large cannot be doubted for
a moment, but we think large proper
ton will be found to consist of low-class
and badly conditioned corn, as the de-
mand tor transport during the war oblig-
| ed inland growers to store as best they
might, on a spot where, of course, appli-
ances for keeping in a condition in
granary for so long a period would be to
great extent inefficient. There is a
dragging trade for feeding corn, as barley
maize and oats, all receded sixpence to
one shilling per quarter, with very little
business. With moderate arrivals off the
coast, the floating cargo trade for wheat
ruled steady without quotable change in
values. Maize was fairly steady. Barley
was dull.

Town Election.

The town election in Smyrna, ON Mon
day, was very exciting, there beihg two
tickets in the fold, the Claw and Or.
DER" and the "Town Ticket" The con-
test arose from the faot that some six
weeks ago the Town Commissioners by
a vote of 4 to 3, passed an ordinance
giving the Alderman and police the au-
thority to arrest and punish for violating
the law and disorderly conduct of the

for one reason or another they never got
punished.
This action caused contest, it being
sustained by the claw and Order Ticket"

The Launch ut Chester.

THE CITY OF RIO DE JANERIo sUCCEss>
FULLY COMMITTED TO THE WAVES.
The handsome new iron steamship
City of Rio de JaneirO was successfully
launched yesterday afternoon at the ship
yards of MessIs. John Roach Il Son,
Chester, Pa. Amid the waving of flags,
the hearty cheers of thousands of peo-
pie and the thunder of cannon the mag
nifcant vessel glided smoothly and safe
ly into the Delaware, and,as the pioneer
inaugnrated an enterprise which is des-
tined TO have an important bearing upon
the trade between the United States and
Brazil. A large number OF prominent
persons from New York and Philadel-
phIa, and a considerable company from
Baltimore and Washington were present
by invitation.
The occasion was made holiday In
Chester, and the town was gay with flags
thrown TO the breeze from many of the
houses. A multitude of workingmen
were sent TO "wedging" the ship pre-
paratory to the launch, and the specta-
Tors took places wherever gosd sight
could be had. Several hundred people
went on board of the new steamer and
were launched with her. When The Rio
de Janerlo left the ways the cadets of the
Military Academy at Chester, fired a
salute cf honor. Besides the cheers of
the multitude half,dozen tugs lent the
music of their steam whistles to swell
the chorus. The launch was in every
wav a signal success. The christening
was dispensed with.
The City of Rio de Janeiro is destined
for the trade between New York and
Rio, with two other steamers now in
course Of construction at Messrs. Roach's
yard. She is $40 feet long over all, 80
feet beam, depth of hold 3I.6 feet, and is
$500 tons, with mean low draft of 81
feet. She has six bulkheads. six boilers
and the latest improved machinery, with
. appliances to use steam for hosting sails
steering and many other purposes. Her
saloon is 1870 by 32 feet, with maximum
capacity for 100 frst-class and 400 steer
age passengers.
After the launch a lunch was served
10 the invited guests, at which speeches
were made by John Roach, Hon. VIM,
Ward, f. b. stephens, Of Baltimore, and
others. The Baltimore and Washington
visitors continued their speech-maklng

Hayes entered hls high office possessed
of the confidence and good-speed yeas OF
the party which elected him. To-day he
is practically the leader of no party OF
no idea, and if an impartial history OF
the past year were written the admins

recorded as weak, vacillating and inef-

An Astonishing Fact

A large proportion of the American
people are to-day dying from the effects
of Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The re-
suit of these diseases upon the masses of
Intelligent and valuable people is most
alarming, making life actually burden
instead of pleasant existence of enjoy
ment and usefulness as it ought to be.
There is no good reason for this, if you
will only throw aside prejudice and skep-
ticism, take the advice of Druggists and
your friends, and try one bottle of Green s
August Flower. Your speedy relief is
certain. Millions of bottles of this medi-
cine have been given away to try its vir-
tues, with satisfactory results in every
case. You can buy sample bottle for 10
cents TO try. Three doses will relieve the
worst case. Positively sold by all Drug
gists on the Western Continent.
