commonly cold by the bushel; and that In
co-operatiop with other commercial Organiza-
| tfons, its members will adopt the above sys-
| tenn In all their transactions AFTER Octooer l,
!, 1879 as far as 15 possible under the existing
I. laws.
this exchange are hereby Instructed TO take
such measures az they may deem proper to
gpclIre such changes in the present laws as
shall make them conform to the above system
Some time since the New York Produce Ex-
change addressed q letter to the Secretary Of
War, asking him II any sufficient reason ex-
listed why the government should not adopt
the GENITAL system. This letter was referred
by the department to the Commissary Gen.
eraI Of Subsistence. Afterwards the exchange
received a communication from the War De-
p8rtIn ent fnclosing a report from the latter
official, in which he says:
$50 far as the subsistence department Ia
concerned no reason exists why, II the course
suggested Is pursued by dealers In produce,
1t should not be by this department; but am
Of the opinion that the system generally pur-
sued by dealers should be adopted by the
government.
'No instructions can be given until 1t IL de-
termined what will be the weights adopted
for the gallon Of liquids now purchased by
syrups, ois-lard and sperm When In
formed upon this subject, shall be prepared
to suggest to the Secretary Of War such in
structions az appear to me proper.
Superintendent Grant, OF the exchange,
states that the weights Of molasses and
syrups will be referred to the Importers and
Grocers' Board Of Trade for settlement and
that Of vinegar to committee Of leading
wholesale grocera. The weight of lard and
sperm oils has already been fixed at rs
pounds per gallon.
The directors OF the st. Louis Merchants
Exchange 1t Ia understood, some time ago e1-
pressed 10 the New York Produce Exchange
q favorable disposition toward the GENITAL sys-
M waipht
other boards OF trade Of the country, but as
yet DO action thereon has been taken and just
80 far only has progress been made toward q
general adoption Of 1t.

The latest careful estimate Of the wheat
crop Of Minnesota is that the yield can hard
~ fall below 100000 bushels. The estimate
ig based upon the supposition that In two
thirds Of the wheat area 100000 acres-the
yield will be Is bushels per acre, and the rest
Of the area-90o,00o acres-the yield will be II
bushels per acre. But notwithstanding this
reasonable prospect OF yield Of spring wheat,
there are those who believe the average pro-
duct per acre will not exceed II bushels.-TSt.

AN INSPIRED ORAToR.-On GER
tain occasion Sargent Prentiss visited
Roston and addressed its citizens in
Fanuel Hall. A gentleman who heard
him. then a venerable judge, told this
anecdote which illustrates the orators
vower. Unable to procure seat, no
stood jammed by the crowd. As Mr.
prentiss began to speak the gentleman
took out his watch to time him. AS he
was replacing it in his fob something in
,he orator,s manner and words arrested
his attention, He found it impossible
to take away his eyes or cars. lie Tor
cot the presence of the crowd, his own
fatigue, the passage of the time. every
thing but the speaker. Mr.. Prentiss
seemed fatigued. So intense was the
sympathy Of the venerable man with
him that he found himself breathing
rapidly anu paihAuii9'
At last the orator, exclaiming, my
mowers fall" sank exhausted into a
chair.
Not till then did the aged listener dls'
