THE CROPS.
Estimate of the Crop of the
Northwest,

Chicago, August 27-Howard, White,
Crowell 4 Co, publishers OF the daily
Commercial Bulletin, issued their annual
estimate of the spring wheat crop OF the
Northwest to-day. Reports have been
received from 30S counties in Western
States and territories, embracing over
eight million acres devoted to the pro-
ductiOn of spring wheat. The total
acreage is estimated at IL, ,6G6, 935 bushels,
against 9,5l4, ,739 last year; average yield
per acre is estimated at 1892 bushels,
against IL last year; aggregate yield Is
estimated at l37 $40, 900 bushels, against
los, 745, 500 last yedr, showing an increase
of %, 1850 bushels. This is not con-
sidcred excessive in view OF the we'll
known poor crops OF last year. The in
crease in acreage is reported ut from l.
10 20 per cent, or equal IN the az
gregate TO l,l52,0O0 acres in excess OF
the returns OF last year. OF the increase
in the crop, about 100000 bushels are
due to the increased acreage yield and
the balance TO the development of new
lands. The average yield of the differ
ent States is reported as follows: Hi
nois, ll.63; Wisconsin, 1874; Minneso-
ia, 1911; Iowa, 1920; Nebraska, 1898;
Kansas, 933; Missouri, 1880; Dakota,
1880.
The yield of the different States is es-
timated as follows; lllisnois, 3,473,OOO
bushels; Wisconsin, 24,59S, 900; Min
nesota, 36,G96 900; Iowa, 10, 1872, 900;
Nebraska, 6,422 600; Kansas, 1866, ,OOOi
Dakota, II, 100000.
The increase in the yield is about
100000 bushels in Minnesota, l3,OOO,-
600 in Iowa, 1000, OOOin Nebraska, 1000
600 in Wisconsin, and 100000 in Da-
kota.
The other States show slight falling
off. The quality generally is reported
very good-better than for some years
past.

REMARKS.

REMARKS.
The market has been rather full and
the demand moderate as reported in
nearly all the yards, scarcely as active as
last week and our top quotations We're
not as frocly obtained as tney were last
week. The quality differs but little
from last week, for while there are more
grassers there were scarcely more in
proportion to the whole receipts than
then. Prices, 5G5i cts, with few at the
latter figure.
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1879-08-28

While the receipts have been only
moderate the demand has not been very
active, confined as it has been to sup
plying the home trade, there being no
call for any butcher Sheep of any kind
except by the Baltimore butchers. The
demand for stockers is not active and
that for Lambs only moderate. We
quote butchers Sheep at 3!@4i cts;
Lambs, 3!@5 cts, and stock Sheep,
Sl.5OG2.75 per head.

An 1912 War Story.

The following, We believe, has never
been seen in print The late Ogden
Hoffman, of this city, used to tell the
story. He was in the great fight be-
tween the Constitution and Guerrero,
and said that as the British ship came
sailing down upon them, rs they heard
the sharp orders when their guns were
run out and the men could be seen ready
with their matchlocks, an officer came in
haste TO Captain Isaac Hull and asked
for orders to fire. Not yet" was the
quiet response. AS they came still
nearer, and the British vessel poured in
her fire, the First Lieutenant of the
Constitution came on the poop and
begged permission to return the broad
side, saying that the men could not be
restrained much longer. " Not yet.
was the Indifferent reply. Still nearer
the British ship came, and the Ameri-
can prisoners who were in the cockpit Of
the Guerrero afterwards said that they
began to believe that their own country
man were afraid to measure their
SlIeilStn VIII VI lIlt '-lltuf. 0lAN
this thought gave them more pain than
the wounds that some of them were suf
fering from. In a moment the Guerrero
calamity came forward, showing her
FURNISHED sides; and as the swell car
ried her to the very muzzel of 'Old
Ironsides," Captain Hull, who was then
quite fat and dressed in full tights, bent
himself twice to the deck, and, with
every muscle and vein throbbing with
excitement shouted out, "Now, boys,
pour it into them " That broadside set
tied their opponents, and, when the
smoke cleared away the Commodore's
tights were to be seen split from waist
band to heel. Truly the Commodore had
a soul "too big for his breaches
Hoffman used to add that Hull, moth
ing disconnected, gave his orders with
porfec, GOODNESS, and only changed his
tights when the British commander
swor,: was given up.

up fraudulent Democratic vote in New
York city, sufficient to swamp the HON
est vote Of the other part of the State,
and carry it for the Democratic candi-
date for President. We have already
shown some days ago, that without New
York it will he impossible for the Dem.
Gratis to elect their candidate, and un-
less the Republicans allow the repeal
Of the laws which are now the only safe
guard to the purity Of the ballot, the
Democrats are determined that no ap-
preparation bill shall be passed to carry
on the Government. 1t is hard to fore
ses where such a revolutionary spirit
would lead to if allowed to be carried out.
Repeal the Federal election laws, and
New York by the aid OF fraud ,intlmlda-
ton and riot, would roll up probably
II, 900 Democratic majority which the
rural portion Of the State could no,
overcome. In such case the contest
for the Presidency in New York would
b. decided next fall in the election of q
Governor, and if the Republicans are
successful, and also carry the Legisla'
ture, we may look for the repeal of the
law allowing the Presidential electors
to be elected by the people, the Legisla
ture doing it instead. This would be
a justihable step if extremes are to be
pushed, but We hope that with Presi
dent Hayes in Office the time will nevel
come for resorting to such an extreme
| measure.
