The rapid development of cotton-spinning
at the South Is illustrated by the fact that
within radius Of twenty miles OF Atlanta,
Ga. there are enough spindles to annually
eonsnme 900 bales OF cotton. the one cotton
factory of that city employing 600 hands
Atlanta has O rolling mill employing 800 men,
three railroad car shops employing several
hundred, and the largest brewery south OF
Cincinnati, four boiler shops, six iron foun-
dries, two door and sash factories, and four
planing mills For the year ending with
August there was added nearly 30 per cent to
ehe manufacturing Industries Of that city
Some idea of the rapid progress which the
great agricultural States OF the West are
making In population and development OF
resources may be gathered from the census
which those States have taken since the
national decennial census Of 1870. Thus, ac-
eordipg to the latest statistics, the population
of Missouri increased 364, ,2i2 In the six years
succeeding 1870; Iowa, 15G,54 In the five
years succeeding; Wisconsin, 181, 1929 In the
same period; Minnesota, 157,701; Michigan,
t49.972 In four years; Nebraska, 134, 754 In six
wears, and Kansas, 164 ,938 in five years. The
rapid growth of population In the upper
Mississippi valley may be said to mark @ cor
responding growth of agriculture, the gran
ary of the country during the last forty
years having been rapidly pushed back from
the State of New York, then Its seat, to and
beyond the Mississippi and Missouri rivers
The Western papers repolt large and de-
vastating prairie fires In parts Of Iowa and
Nebraska. Besides the destruction Of grain

ST. Paul's Great Institution.

The most successful enterprise yet started
by the citizens offs Paul is the great ST. PAUL
FIRE AND MARINE INSURANCE ASSOCIATION.
Its success has been most extraordinary.
now rivals, after few years of existence, the
great New England Fire Insurance panies
which have heretofore drained so mnch
money from the fertile fields of the west
TO enrich the barren rocks of yankee land
To those who desire cheap insurance in the
most reliable insurance company in the State,
we would say by all means patronize that
great HOME institution. Its cash assets
are over ONE MILLION dollars and it has reach
ed this grand aggregate in eleven years. Here
are the figures which represent its unpar-
alleled growth.

St. Paul Markets.


ST. PAUL August 81, 1878.
The obbng trade has been satisfactory
during the week, and the indications are that
our dealers will have a heavy season of it.
The really heavy business is beginning to be
felt and will be upon US in a few weeks. Col
lections, however, are not quite what they
ought to be. This is accounted for by the
fact that country people are compelled to re-
main at home and take care of the crop, poor
as 1t is.
PRODUCE AND PROVISIONS.
The trade in agricultural products is COM
paratively quiet, the business being confined
altogether to local and outside consumers
wants, there being no speculation going on.
As regards most commodities arriving, sales
are promptly up to the receipts. The changes
III quotations are very few and unimportant.
FLOUR-There are advices to dealers that
numerous country mills will soon resume
operations and begin sending forward flour of
the new crop, but so far receipts OF all qualities
are very light and stocks i'll store are small.
Quotations are 25c per barrel higher and the
market is firm. We quote straight"
XXXX family flour at -. 75a5 90 for lots, and
bakers XXXX from which middlings have
been taken, at 81 50a4. rs. Patent process
flour is held at 81 OOa7 so. Rye flour
mains steady at 49, ~ barrel; bolted corn
meal sells at 81 .O5al 10 " lO0lbs.
WHEAT-Somet few parcels OF the new crop
nave been OHereu, ana nave SOFA AT ABOUT SVc
per bushel for that W hich graded No. 2. The
market cannot be said to have any sure foun-
dation, for buyers, either for shipment or
grinding, do not care to take hold OF the new
crop just yet, as it is scarcely merchantable
at the best. Old No. l is in brisk demand by
millers at 81. l0al .l2h but the quality arriv
ing is comparatively small, just now.
The following table shows the fluctuations
of the value of No ? wheat in the leading
markets OF the world, viz: Liverpool, New
York, Chicago, and Milwaukee:

We, the undersigned farmers of Madison
and adjoining counties. on Saturday saw the
Marsh, Osborne, and Mccormick Harvesters
andBinders working on John Balsiger's and L.
Buehlmann's farms at Highland, in heavy
green wheat and rye, and, after close observa-
ton, unanimously says: We greatly prefer
the Marsh Harvester and Binders to the others
on account OF its great simplicity, ightness of
draft, and the good work it did. Draft is light
enough for two horses, and the Binder is per-
feet. The Marsh is the machine for Southern
Illinois, and good careful farmers will examine
it before ordering any other. S. E. Crane, J.

The proposition recently made to Con sress by James Gordon Bennett indicates .his speedy return from exile. Such a pro posal will place him favorably before the public and give his name an additional ec- lat. Bennett is now 37. and has lived lon ger than either Byron or Burns. He has yielded an immense estate, and few young men have had equal opportunities of wealth education and foreign travel. Other points of interest centre upon him. He is prod igy of pedestrianism. is powerful athlete and hes few equals in polo. When mount' ed he seems indeed, as Shakespeare says, one formed to switch the world with noble horsemanship." Among his most recent exploits are his teats in hunting, in which he has astonished the British sports, having made an extraordinary run with the hounds st . recent "meet" in Leicestershire. This meant as some thing to be final display of his powers on foreign soil. On his return to this city he will avoid the Union club and other associations of fast life. and will take n higher stand both as a citizen and jour nalist.
