London, Aug. 13.-The Mark Lane Ex.
press in its review Of the British corn trade
for the past week, says: 'eThe reports n,
gardinR the yeald Of vhsat are various, but.
generally speaking, the harvest promises IN
improvement on last years. There are sey-
sra! districts, particularly Norfolk, Cam
bridgeshire, and parts of Essex, where the
opposite opinion obtains. and complaints
are rife cf badly filled ears, blight, and rust.
Farther north appearances improve. In
lancashire and Yorkshire the crops look
healthier and heavier than for some years,
In Scotland and ireland there were equally
favorable hopes. Conflicting accounts were
received regarding barley, but where early
sown the crop will not leave much to be de.
sired, although it has suffered from aood
and drought Very few samples Of new
wheat have appeared, and until supplies
come ic more freely little can be said regard
ing the quality. An occasional parcel was
shown in Mark Lane for which growers de-.
manded fancy prices, but business will prob.
ably settle down into its ordinary course this
week. The supplies Of old are necessarily
very light, with such moderate inquiry a. i,
to be expected during harAest time. Prices
have undergone no quotable change. The
imports of foreign wheat into London were
very moderate, Fridays return showing on.
ly $50 quarters. There was decided i'm.
provement in trade, especially American
descriptions, for which ready sale was ex
perienced at one shilling increase, and il
some instances q greater advance. Much O.
the Russian wheat recently imported arrived
in heated, unstable state. Advices from
st. Petersburg indicate that very large pro

Prices will rule low for this class of wheat
for some time to come. The somewhat .un

Yankton, Aug 16, 197s.-The market for cattle,
sheep and hogs has not changed any from our
last weeks report. The demand for fresh meat
has increased somewhat, owing to cooler wealth
er, Butchers find no difficulty in buying what
stock they need. Chickens and eggs are scarce,

Mich cows, fresh, are in good demand, and

The supply of horses is equal to the demand,
and can be bought at reasonable prices The
prices OF horses vary so much that it is a very
difficult matter to give a ruling price. Good
! farm horses and mares can be bought from $50
to Sl20; pings and inferior grades from $50 to
SG5' Heavy work horses, none Offering, and it is
not likely this kind of horses would find buyers
at paying figure, as they always sell at higher
prices. Well bred, fancy driving horses, none in
the market AS to whether they could be sold
we are not able to decide. It seems to us that
the breeding of heavy draught horses should at
once become part of every Dakota farmers
greatest interest, for several reasons. twill not
be long until Dakota will have more horses that
will be needed at home. The farmers then will
have to seek a market in the east. In order to
be able to realize good and paying prices, they
must have the kind of horses that will meet the
demand of the eastern market-that is. two
kinds, heavy work horses, or well bred, good
| steppers. Tho first, every farmer can raise with
out much additional expense; the latter requires
time and money. It seems to us that where
horses can be raised so cheaply as they can be in
Dakota, thatevery farmer should have enough in
terest in his own business to make this matter a
study.

is being made for the purpose of feeling Of
the sentiment or the proposed plan of break

was conceived by General Grant, who talked
with Tyner when the latter was abroad.

this story, but says Keys friends pronounce
it absurd.
