NEWS OF THE WEEK.
g English Grain Markets.

The Mark Lane Express says: Wheat
cutting is now becoming general, and, judg-
ing from recent agricultural advices, wheat
has improved wonderfully in many parts OF
the country The sunshine has repaired the
injury caused by the rainfall of May to an I'M
looked for extent, excepting in districts where
the drought was severe, causing premature
ripening. The prospects for the barley crop
are variable and generally unpromising, par
ticularly on high lands. The yield will GER
tainly be light. Oats and beans promise
fairly. The grain trade in London and the
provinces is devoid of any special feature but
prices are we'll maintained considering the
proximity of the harvest. There is an under
current of steadiness observable and the opin-
ion generally obtains that whether boug CHIT for
consumption OR speculation, wheat at present
prices cannot do much harm to millers or
spectators if the strengthening influence at
work is continued. There is a constant de-
mand for white for export, and cargoes off the
coast have been taken for continental account
and the fact that prices are stationary in the
face of liberal imports and the improved crop
prospects is in great measure due to this
legitimate increased demand. The arrivals
OF wheat cargoes off the coast especially from
America, appear likely to be small for the
next few weeks, but as brilliant prospects are
entertained of the crop on the other side of
the Atlantic, the probability of any material
rise here is more or less remote. With mod
crate arrivals at ports of call, the floating car
so trade for wheat is steady without quota
BILE change. The demand for the continent
continues and helps to support prices. Maize
dull. Barley unchanged.

COMMITTEES on Labor.

The Congressional committee on labor
had session in New York city, on Saturday,
Aug 5, and representatives of workingmen
appeared before them. They laid the blame
of depression in business to National and State
legislation, the granting Of lands to railroads
and other corporations, and the granting OF
large interest on bonds. They advanced the
idea that the government should pass home
stead law, and throw public lands open to set
Element, and assist men to settle there. Mrs.
Hale said the first step necessary to bring
back prosperity to the country was to grant
suffrage to women. Give women the ballot
and everything would be lovely and perfect.

Negro Riot.

Reliable reports from Havana state
negro riot broke out there on the 22d inst,
in a locality known as Los Sitios. The prin-
cipal cause of dissatisfaction among the
blacks seems to have been their continuance
in slavery after the liberation of all those
who lately surrendered at the collapse Of the
rebellion. During the disturbance the police
had to charge, sword in hand, killing and
wounding great many. The rioters then
dispersed and fled to the swamps around
Azores Castle. Only few arrests were made.

Advance In San Francisco Frei gifts.

The Union Pacific railroad company,
issued, July 31st, a circular to the dry goods
trade, informing shippers of an increase in
rates on first class merchandise from New
York to San Francisco from Sc to $12 a hund-
red. The reason assigned is that when rates
were low, merchants only shipped light
freight by rail and sent all bulky merchandise
by clippers around Cape Horn, thus leaving to
railroad companies light and costly freight
on which the risk was too great for small
profit. ,.-.

daily adding to its already justly won
celebrity. From all sections of the
country, we receive the most favorable
accounts of its great efficacy. 1t has
been used with the most satisfactory
results by a great number of our citizens,
for various diseases, such as Soar Throat,
Erysipelas, Dyspepsia and a variety of
chronic affections. Nearly every one
who has tried it, speak of it as wonder
full specific. AS for my own experience,
l can truly say, that l have never found
such a speedy and effective remedy for
disordered stomach and Sick Headache.
If properly used it will certainly relieve
these unpleasant complaints in an as
Dnishingly brief space of time. With
our personal knowledge of its medical
virtues, and knowing the source from
whence it is obtained, as well as a per-
sonal acquaintance with the mauufac-
lures, we can confidently recommend
its use to any who may be afflicted as a
safe and reliable family medicine.

No Rain in Peru.

In Peru, South America, rain is
unknown. The coast of Peru is
within the perpetual southeast trade
winds, and though the Peruvian
shores are on the verge of the great
South Sea boiler, yet it never rains
there. The reason is plain. The
southeast trade winds in the Allan
tic ocean first strike the water on
the coast of Africa. Travelling to
the northwest they blow obliquely
across the ocean until they reach the
coast of Brazil. By this time they
are heavily laden with vapor. which
they continue to bear along across
the continent, depositing it as they
go, and supplying with it the sources
of the Rio de la Plata and the south
ern tributaries of the Amazon. FL
nally they reach the snow-capped
Andes, and here is wrung from
them the last particle of moisture
that very low temperature can ex-
tract. Reaching the summit Of that
range they now tumble down as cool
and dry winds on the Pacific slopes
beyond. Meeting with no evapora-
ting surface, and no temperature
colder than that to which thew were
subjected on the mountain tops they
become charged with vapor and be-
fore, therefore, they have any which
the Peruvian climate can extracts.
Thus we see how the top of the
Andes becomes the reservoir from
which are supplied the rivers of
Chill and Peru.
