The Farmers Realizing.

The free sales Of wool In the last two
weeks are putting a large amount oi
money in circulation in this.region, es-
pecially in Washington county, Pa. The
Reporter Of yesterday notices the receipt
of about 10000 pounds at the Hempasld
depot in Washington on Saturday, the
average price of which, it says, was
about SSt cents per pound, aggregating
the handsome sum Of '$2S, 1888 SO to the
farmers who sold It. Such sales as these,
together with the sales Of wheat now com.
mencing, ought to make money quite
easy among the farmers. We trust that
the forced sales Of lands among our
neighbors will be materially lessened by
their receipts this season.

The Ore Market.

The Marquette Mining Journal says that
nearly ali the iron mines are materially
curtailing their operations. There is
literally no demand, 1t says, for ore, ex-
cept at prices that will not cover cost.
This state Of things would seem to indi.
cate that the Wheeling and Pittsburgh
furnaces will probably get cheaper ore
before a great while. Now that the
market ia SO stagnant, would this not be
a good time for the various establish.
ments to agitate the question OF cheaper
freights from Cleveland and other lake
points to the Ohio river.

LONDON, July s.-The Pot states in an
official form that Sir Garnett Woolsley
will start for Cyprus in few days and
will take with him the Indian contingent.
j appears that the Congress occupied
yesterday with minor questions. Il en-
dorsed the cession Of the pros
vince Of Kalont to Persia and
decided that the powers should peri
odically receive reports on the condition
OF the Armenians. It settled the Servian
boundary question by alloting Pirot 10
Seryia, and referred the details Of the
Roumelian boundary question to COM

Russians requested the postponement

confirmation OF the reports OF the Anglo.
Turkish treaty. Lord Beaconsfeld made
no mention Of q treaty at to-day's session
Of Congress and probably will not do SO
for fhe did he would thereby admit the
right OF the Congress to discuss
the treaty, right which Eng-
land cannot admit, as the treaty does
not modify the treaty Of Paris. It is
probable that Russia will assent 10 this
view. ,t
A Belgrade dispatch says that the COM
mandant Of the German troops on the Ja-
yor frontier, reports that 0smand Pasha,
with $4,000 men, has entered Bosnia. No
confidence Ia placed in the report.
A Bucharest dispatch says: The excite
ment Is calming, and the morning papers
advise a compliance with the decisions Of
Congress.
The Roumanian delegates returned on
Sunday night and were to make report

The Times in leading editorial re-
marks that the British troops are now on
their way to Cyprus, and the occupation

effect.

Tne RattIe OF the Boyne,

Affairs look threatening at Montreal
and one or two other points in Canada in
view Of the coming Orange demonStra-
tions on the 18th. There is no way'of
stoppipg this trouble from year to year
in Canada. The orangemen are deter.
mined to parade and the Catholics are
always on hand to maketit hot for them.
The feeling between the two does not wear
out. II means the battle Of the Boyne
now, Just as II has for the last 1b0 years.
The orangemen contend that there Is a
matter Of principle involved that they
will never relinquish, viz, their right
as freemen to parade in honor
Of an event tha. was Of great moment
to .Protestantism. The Catholic Irish
contend, on the other hand, that the
event commentaries their humiliation
that Ireland was a Catholic country when
William OF Orange defeated james I'd on
the banks Of the Boyne, and that their
religion twas ever afterwards wrongfully
discriminated against and oppressed by a
foreign politico.ecclesiastical establish
ment known as the Church Of England.
This is the difficulty between them in q
nut shell. We presume there is
no cure for 1t. The Haunting Of the
Orange color on the 18th Of July and the
singing Of that bitter song, acroppies
lie down." inilames the Catholic Irish as
the red rag does the Spanish bull. They
want to fight the Boyne over again, even
II in so doing cities are burned and the
communities in whichI.they ..reside are
thrown into riot and bloodshed. That
matters very little apparently. Their
ancient animosity is to be gratifed at any
hazard to society. Like the hate Of Han
nibal for Rome, their enmity to Orange
men becomes a matter of hereditary ven-
geance.
This.yearly renewal Of an old feud is

stopped. They are not however, willing

THE Nail Association meets at Pitts
burgh ghto.morros. We presume that ther.
will not be very full meeting, owing tc
the season Of the year and to the fact that
everybody is closing up their six months
business. 1t ought, however, to be ar
important meeting in view Of the coming
falltrade, which may set in to some ex'
tent before the next regular monthly
meeting. Nails are now low enough to
tempt the large,dealers in the principal
markets into offers for the fall, and in case
contracts are made at! the present rates
the business for the year may be virtually
given away, so far as. the mills are
concerned. Calling the present price Of
nails 50, and referring to the fact that the
six months Of last year showed that their
cost was considerably above s., and
remembering that therelhas been no re.
duction in cost ..save about 81 so per ton
in iron, how can the manufacturers ex-
pect to save themselves from loss at press
ent going rates? Itlooks as II it would
be suicidal to enter into contracts at pres.
ent prices, and as If there ought to be bet.
ter rates for the fall trade.
