sionirendered in the United States circuit court
for the western district Of Wisconsin, by JUS
tice Harmon Of the supreme court of the
United States, Judge Drummond Of the United
States circuit, court and Judge Boon,Eof the
United States District court, in the case of
the Chippewa mill owners VS.. the Mississippi
River Logging company, and Beef Slough
Boom company involving the right of the de-
PENDANTS to run logs down the Chippewa river,
and Beef Slough. In the previous suit brought
in the name of the United States against de-
PENDANTS, the latter*demurred to the complaint
and Judge Drummond sustained the de-
murrer but gave leave to amend, and defend
ants demurrer to the amended complaint
was also sustained by the court. The mill
owners then took new tack and induced one
Edward Herman, proprietor of a steamboat
line on the Chippewa river, to bring suit ask
ing an injunction restraining the Logging
company from running loose logs, ETC., on the
ground that it was prejudicial to navigation
on said stream This is the suit which has
just been decided against him and probably

The Mark Lane Espress of September
30 says the condition of new grain has not i'm
proved to any appreciate exteat. Threshing
has made little progress, as most grain al
ready secured is in an unfit state, and some
weeks must elapse before offerings of new
wheat will show any material increase. 1t is
pretty generally admitted that the wheat
crop, the present year. will be about 80 per
cent. below the average. Home requirements
between now and next harvest may be ex-
pected to@absorb Is or II million quarters of
foreign produce. Neither mangles nor swedes
can be an average crop, and the harvest crop
generally presents a wretched appearance.
Potatoes in many localities are not worth the
expense of lifting. The oat fields in Scotland
are still green and night frosts have prevented
the barley from filling out From the south
of Ireland rather favorable reports have been
received as to the oat CROP which appears to
have suffered less thau any other cereal.
Both in the United Kingdom and on the con-
tincnt, the supplies Of home grown wheat at
country markets have again, been exceedingly
light, last weeks deliveries at one hundred
and fifteen principal towns showing a decrease
OF $4,000 quarters as compared with a cores
ing week last, year. The average price was
four pence quarter less than the preceding
week, which is Of much significance US regards
the defective quality of the offerings when the
strong upward turn in prices is taken into con-
sideration.. The samples shown at Mark Lane
were likewise few and inferior, but with the
reserves of last years crop at the lowest ebb.
sales have been made readily at an advance of
two shillings a quarter on, the week,
white wheat realizing from 80 to 50
shillings and red from 46, to 40 per quarter.
The imports of foreign wheat into London
have been moderated, last Fridays return
showing S6,79O quarters, and the weeks trade
has been marked by an excitement which was
not altogether expected The most sanguine
operators could scarcely have foreseen the ex-
tent and suddenness Of the upward movement.
Such activity has not been seen at Mark Lane
since 1877. All descriptions of foreign wheat
improved full two shillings per quarter, max
ing total advance of about seven shillings
from the recent lowest point. The cause of
the rise has been the pressure for some weeks
past but the effect has been delayed till re-
Gently, as the millers held back as long as
there was any possibility Of the home crop
turning out more favorable than had been
predicted. Such a possibility no longer ex-
lists md the fact forced itself upon the minds
Of buyers with the results recorded as above
the amount of business has been exception
ally heavy, and the slight reaction which took
place during the middle of the i week has
been more than recovered. Nearly all des-
criptionsiof cereal produce showed MI upward
movement maize to the extent Of fou
shillings per quarter; barley and -oats, six
pence, and beans and peas one shilling.
During the early part Of the week trade for
wheat off coast ruled very strong, and the nd
vance was considerable. On Thursday "a re-
action ensued, which was brief, as trade re-
fcovered and closed firm at the end Of the
week at the highest point yet touched, say
rom two to three shillings per quarter ad-
an CO on the week, Maize participated in the
Improvement, prices rising SIX pence per

done to forward wheat, principally California
and red winter American, for both of which
