REVIEW OF THE GRATIS MARKET.
LONDON, May 29.-The Marie-Lane E1-
presSs weekly review Of the English grain
market says: ,"The agricultural outlook IS
decidedly less favorable than 1t was three
weeks ago. Unless more propitions weather
comes quickly the hope for nm abundant
cereal harvest must be abandoned. The
gloomy reports of the condition OF the crops
in America and other producing
countries, added to the queiescent state OF
politics, have rendered the wheat trade re-
markably dull and almost stagnant."

:
WASHINGTON, May 20, 1878.
SENATE.
The legislative, judicial, and executive
appropriation bill occupied the day.
The river and harbor bill comes up to-
morrow.
There was no executive session to-day.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
In the House the motion to concur in the
Senate adjournment resolutions failed,
when an amendment fixing the day for the
nth OF June prevailed, in which it is
thought that the Senate will undoubtedly
concur.
A bill appropriating $4,000 for expenses
Of the Select Committee on Presidential
Election Frauds was.reported, but, through
opposing tactics OF the Republicans, it was
sent to the Committee Of the Whole, where
Il takes its place at the foot Of the calendar,
and can only be reached by setting aside
every other bill.
The bill relating to internal revenue was
considered some time, but no action was
taken thereon.

numbers of such animals arrive at the stock
yards in Chicago, especially by early morn
ing trains. The obvious reason of this state
of things is, that wherever there is danger
Gus disease among stock. the owners COM
mercIal instinct will be to make whatever
salvage he can. The state of our meat
trade is a disgrace to amy civilized country.

1t is an interesting fact, and one that
points out an intimate similarity between
the laws OF nutrition for animals and for
vegetables, that the composition Of milk the
first pabulum of animal life, is very similar
to the composition OF vegetable seeds.
