but few exceptions. If our growers do moi
become discouraged by the late low prices
and neglect their yards, we will stand ,
chance of doing another good export trade
with England next season, for We notice by
late reports from that country that thu
growth Of the vine is very much retarded
by the cold weather. OF course ell may h
changed before picking time; still, il will
stand our growers in hand to take extra
pains this season, for upon quality alone
will depend the amount of 6usines
We do with England. Good hops win be
wanted at price above the cost OF pro
daction, while poor ones will stand pool
chance Of finding market at any price

GOVERNOR CURTIN, once minister to
the court of ST. Petersburg, is writing
an interesting series of articles ON Rus
sia. The statesmen who Immediately
surround the Cars throne are, in his
Judgment, the equals of any in the world.
Gortschakoff, the leading spirit, has
more power than is represented by the
chancellor of the German Empire or by
the prince minister in England, or the
chief cabinet officer of the United States,
and he enjoys to wonderful extent the
confidence of the sovereign. Next to
Gortschakotf in importance is Ruytan,
the finance minister, who has been for a
long time in the place.
