pressure to 4" r~eorganize the Senate

is becoming irresistible. Thurman,
Bayard, Eaton ann Herman, who have
opposed the programme, are con-
WINGED of the uselessness of oppo-
sition and will float with the current.
1t is now settled that reorganization
will take place, and that the Republic
cans have to go. Among all the can
didates for the Seeretary's place it is
believed that Hon. Harvey Watterson
has the inside track. The report pub
Iished in the Cincinnati Gazette that
L. A. James, Of Chattanooga, was a
candidate, is not confirmed by that
gentleman. Some of Mr.. James.
friends have mentioned him for the
place, but it is doubtful if he enters

Crops and BusIness il lhe West.

Chicago Special to New York Bulletin.l
We are still enjoying fine weather.
Since our last, we have been down the
Illinois Central as far as Kankakee.
This takes us through the eastern corn
belt of the State Of Illinois. We found
the farmers well advanced with all
their work; very large areas of land
fall-plowed. Corn gathering has been
going on for. over six weeks with hard
ly a days interruption the crop is
sound and Of good quality, but not
yielding more than twenty-five bushels.
Crossing the State of Illinois east at
this point, going into Indiana as far
as indianapolis, and %conversing with
farmers at that city, we were able to
form a very good idea Of the agricul-
tural and business outlook of the
State. The corn crop of Indiana as a
whole is, we think, better than that of
Illinois. In both States the farmers
all agree that so far as quality is con
cerned, it was never better. The mer-
chants at indianapolis were busy.
Heard no complaint of hard times, ,
and collections were good. Even at
st. Louis, we found a still more active
movement in every department Of
trade. In fact the merchants there
had all they could do to FIJI the orders
from the South since the cessation of
yellow fever. Westill confirm our state
ment Ofthe trade in Chicago. The mer-
chants Of this city were never selling
on so short time, SO much for cash, and
were making so few bad debts. Our
farmers are every year asking less
credit and our country merchants are
giving less; the one preferring to go
without what they cannot pay for, and
the other class preferring to put on
their shelves what they can realize
the cash for So far as the hog ques-
ton is concerned, it is very consoling
to know that the vast amount of pork
that was packed last year has all been
consumed, with the exception of fifty
thousand barrels. This certainly
proves that cheap food makes a greater
consumption, and is by far the best
for all classes. On the condition O
y the farmers, one Of our correspondent
: from Seward county, Neb., writes
7 " Farmers who have kept near shore
T are all right. Those who sailed our
d on the broad sea of credit without re,
gard to pay day are now complaining
T of poor harbors. Our best men are
:. prospering." Another farmer, from
I Rock county, Wis, says: 81 think
the financial condition Of farmers bet
r ter than last year. Prices are lower
e but farmers now feel assured that the,
n can get money for all they have t,
SELF
h From Kansas the tone of our CORE
II spondence would indicate a genera
improvement, The greatest cause o
complaint is from the excessive rail
n road charges, Wheat is now low ant
t. freights are exorbitant,

The sales Of one Of the largest firms
of hair merchants in Germany have
fallen off % per cent, in bulk and 40 to
80 per cent. In value within the last
three years, entirely through the in
creased demand for Chinese, Japanese
and other cheap hairs. In 1871 the
exports o hair from the treaty ports
were 286 tons in 1874, 800; in 1876,
go. This serves in some degree to
