A fact of some interest and Importance has
occurred this year in the return OF the her
ring to the coasts of Sweden, after a long IN
teryal Of absence. A hundred years ago no
industry Of that country was so prominent as
the fisheries, more than a million barrels OF
herring being preserved annually involving
the employment of large portion OF the pop
ulation In their capture and preparation.
Enormous establishments, scattered along
the coast, in which vast amount OF capital
had been invested, have long been abandoned
and are In ruins. Should the promise OF this
year be continued, the probability is that the
former prosperity will be fullyrestored. Scien-
tific men are at loss to account for this ap-
parent capricious change in the course OF the
fish. 1t is known that the herring breeds In
incalcuIable numbers, and that, when on its
periodical migrations, it moves in shoals OF
countless myriads, extending frequently for
miles In each direction; but disturbing causes
which lead the fish to change their course are
still mystery, though they are supposed to
be connected with the food supply. A special
commission has been appointed by the Swed-
ish government to examine the whole sub
ject.

Some of the opponents at the North of the
silver standard are giving publicity to the re-
port that no less than $2.OOO,OOO of spurious
silver coin is in actual circulation. This is
one of the fanciful stories which have the
effect to defeat the object in view. It is too
preposterous to render it capable of belief. In
the first place, there Is not and never has
been a very large amount of counterfeit sub
sidiary silver coin fractions Of dollar in

The telegraph announced in less than two
lines one day last week the death of man
who, until his failure, in the spring of 1876,
was called the Grain King Of California Mr..
Isaacs Friedlander was the first to see the
possibilities of the grain trade of the Pacific
coast, and he early gained such control over
1t that nine-tenths of the grain shipped to
Europe from California between 1870 and 1876
passed through his hands. He also controlled
the feet of 800 or 400 sailing vessels necessary
for the transportation Of such vast quantity
of wheat. II these engagements had been
strictly personal, it has been estimated that
it would have required capital, in late years.
of $4O,00O,000 to carry on his operations. In
most cases, however, Mr. Friedlander was
only broker on an enormous scale. His failure
was disastrous. In advance of the season OF
1876 he had chartered nearly 200 vessels, and
was obliged to fulfill his contracts at loss OF
from So to SIS per ton, involving total sacri-
fee of over 81 000, 900. His speculations in
the wheat market were also defeated by the
partial failure of the crop, and by the disturb
ance of prices caused by the Russo Turkish
war. On this account he lost about $4,000 900
and the combined misfortune was too great
for even his nerve and fortune, His death
will complete what his failure began-the
opening of the grain market OF the extreme
West to score of competing merchants in
place of its nearly entire control by one. Ii
Is not likely that the San Francisco market
for wheat and freights will ever again be sub
ject to sudden changes due to the varying
fancies or desires of one man.

The Cincincinnati Price Current of Thurs
day last publishes the following crop re-
ports:
The evidence accumulates that the winter
wheat crop Is the largest In acreage, the best
In quality, and the most prolific in yield of
any which this country has ever produced.
There are some sections in Kentucky and Ten
nessee where the quality Is inferior, but taken
as whole there Is probably as large ratio
of good wheat In the West as ever. The spring
wheat Is rapidly approaching maturity, and
If the weather during harvest proves favora-
BILE there will be an immense crop. All that is
required for oats and rye is good harvest
weather to secure them In prime condition,
for these crops are nearly ready for the reap
ers
Another week OF splendid oorn-Rrowing
weather has turned complaints into rejoicing.
Fields which looked sickly and yellow two or
three weeks ago are now deep and health
full green, and the growth borders upon the
wonderful The swapping leaves attest to the
ear its rapid progress, and the changes in
color and size are apparent to the eye from
day to day In this section, and similar reports
reach US from the Northwest, where the COM
plants have been loudest and most numerous.
With few weeks Of such weather the corn
will get beyond danger from early frosts.

circulation. In the next place, less than 81
ooo 900 in amount of the new dollars has as
| vet left the Federal mint and treasury ana
gone into the hands Of the people. and
large per cent Of this sum Is In the vaults OF
the various banks in the country.
| The st. Louis Times, in the course OF an
article on this subject, remarks:
Surprising that the entire amount OF Sz, 4SN,,
| 900 of genuine coin were In actual clrculaSlon'
and only one-half the alleged amount OF Do
gus, or counterfeit. II the two genuine ana
| spurious, were equally dlstrlDuteu togeInel'
| every third dollar an individual would re-
| ceve would be counterfeit. II the counter
felt were confined to less territory than the
genuine then the proportion OF counterlelGs
| would be greater still Now, II is SaIe ven
ture to say that there cannot be found, IN any
section Of the United States, one c0un1eIlelC
| silver dollar In circulation for each ten, or
| twenty, or thirty Of the genuine. LII even the
smallest proportion OF countertelts were in
circulation anywhere, not DAY would pass
but what we should hear OF the arrest OF one
or more persons charged with passing cOun-
| tarfeit coin. Yet an arrest is seldom heard Of,
and at no time has any considerable amount OF
base coin been found. The whole story, then,
of there being $2,000,000 OF counterfeit coin in
circulation, or In probable existence mas the
baseless fabric Of a vision, If it does not exist
| in the wish being father to the thought. The
| truth is, large amounts OF base silver coin
never have been and never can get into circu.
ton, except In sparsely populated sections Of
the country, where the people havefew money
transactions and, consequently, are not skilled
in the detection of the spurious COIN: In
cities, or in densely populated communities
the passage Of spurious silver coin in large
amounts, or In large percentage Of the
amount Of genuine coin, is an .impossibility.
Quick detection would be inevitable in such
places The "silver lunatics" OF the East,
| therefore, may as well give up this fiction
about the counterfeit silver coin business. 1t
will not win credence any more than the
NINETY cents dollar" humbug scared sensible
people out of their propriety.

The fire insurance interest of the country
seems to be passing through rather severe
test at the present time The Age, an insu-
rance publication, states that companies, in
stead of growing stronger month by month
and year by year, are perceptibly growing
weaker. Only very few now make returns
which indicate that they are holding their
own, while the large majority are either pay
ing dividends out OF their old surplus, pass
ing dividends altogether, or getting out Of
business the best way they can to avoid
losing their capital Then, too, 1t appears
that during the past year some forty compa-
MES In different parts of the country found it
necessary to throw up the sponge In confess
sion that the contest is too warm for weak
lings of their sort. If ever there was time,
says The Age, when property-owners and
policy-holders needed to be on the alert in
self-defense this Is just such time Every
insurance policy is, in essence, a promissory
note at twelve months or other fixed period,
during which the company Is at the mercy Of
the holder as well as at the mercy Of the
flames. The maturity of the note may come
at any moment; the chances of the presenta-
tion for payment are against the company by
a large majority.

According to the Buffalo Commercial Adj
vertiser company has been formed in that
city to utilize the water passing over Niagara
Falls for driving machinery. The plan con-.
templates the employment of huge air cylin-
ders at the bottom Of the fall and large
feeding basin above, the perpendicular fall
between the two being ga feet It'll estimated
that power enough can thus be generated to
raise $50, 900 gallons Of water $50 feet every
minute The working OF the proposed ma
,chinery is to be briefly as follows: After the
water In the reservoir on the top Of the bank
is high enough it will escape down pipe and
force air into the large cylinders. The capacity
of the reservoir and Of the cylinders Is SO ar
ranged that the former will be exhausted by
the time the desired compression has been OBJ
tanned below. While the reservoir is again
filling with water the cylinder becomes ex-
hausted, and is ready for another charge.
Thus the operation is repeated at regular In
tervaIs in each cylinder, and there being sew
eral Of them, a continuous charge of highly
compressed air is secured. 1t is said that
considerable capital has been paid in, and
that practical operations have already begun.
