Late Crops and Early Frosts.

Bozeman and vicini y was visited by heavy
irosts on Friday and Saturday nights. If the
irosts were as severe throughout the valley,
and the harvest no further advanced general
ly than in this vicinity, it will be quite a Sc
we're blow on the farmers. Our experience
has been That heavy frosts seriously injure
standing wheat, no matter how far advanced
towards maturity. In the upper part of the
valley probably fully one third of the spring
grain remains unharvested This will be al
most a total loss, as severely frosted grain will
hardly pay for harvesting. We trust the re-
ports from the lower part of the valley will
show a more encouraging condition of things;
must necessarily become very scarce before
another harvest, and prices must rapidly ad-
vance neutrality-suspicious..

that on Thursday, at a preliminary trial OF
the machinery lately put in at the smelter OF
the Montana Copper Company, everything
worked satisfactorily. The boilers were test

shawn to be in excellent running order. 1t is
exnec,ed hat the smelling of ore will begin
IN about two weeks. An air tramway is now
heiur constructed from the Colus mine to

will probably be propelled by steam power.

From Our Regular Correspondent
London Letter.

LONDON, England, Sep. 5, 1880.
A good deal of doubt seems to be felt
among the more intelligent English farm
ers as to the accuracy of certain est-
mates given by Mr.. Albert Pell and Mr.
Glare Read in their report on American
agriculture, with reference to the cost at
which American wheat could be laid down
in England. These gentlemen arrived
at cost of forty-five shllings per quarter
to cover every conceivable charge. But
rs it is perfectly we'll known that such
wheat was last year sold below forty
shillings per quarter, and bids fair to be
even cheaper this year, it is not surprising
to be told that agricultursts find the Off
cial document ''in opposition to everyday
commercial results If the English
farmer could only make sure that Ameri-
can wheat could not be delivered here at
less than forty-fve shiIlngs per quarter,
he might feel tolerably confident that, in
average seasons, and with revised rental
and lower rates. he could stand his
ground. At least he could have basis
on which to calculate with something like
gertrude all his working arrangements
But the difficulty with him is that he
cannot obtain such a basis What is the
use of Messrs. Pell and Read telling
him that the minimum cost of American
wheat delivered here is forty-five shillings
a quarter if he knows that it has been
sold at thirty-five shillingsP This cheap.
ness may be the result of breakdown OF
speculation, but will these two gentlemen
guarantee him against rings" in the
futurep The truth is, that the limit which
Messrs. Pel and Read name is the max
imum cost under past conditions, when ii
is the minimum cost of production in the
prolific seasons we are now having which
decides the course of the English corn
markets. The farmers have satisfied
them selves ON American authority that
the first cost of growth to the United
States producer is several shillings a
quarter less than the two Commissioners
make it; that the charge for carriage and
freight is also less; and hence that com.
petition will 60 on until wheat is much
cheaper even than at present. 1t is bes
to be prepared for this result, and, more
over, to recognize, apart from arbitrary
calculations, that what is grown for the
market must ultimately find its way
thither, SO long rs it pays for transport,
and so long, too. as the market is open.
Messrs. PeIl and Reads estimates will
no more stop this tendency than Mrs
Partington's mop kept back the Atlantic
According to late advices from Ameri-
ca heavy losses have of late attended
shipments of cattle as well as fresh meat
from the United States to England. In
one case the transportation of nine hun
dred cattle realized on the average six
pounds per head less than the cost OF
landing them. But the odd thing is that
although the market in England has been
so bad rs to involve this heavy loss, the
consumer has never been aware of any
coincedent outburst of cheapness. The
price of meat has been maintained with
exemplary uniformity all the time that
Americans have been pouring out their
surplus upon us at an alarming sacrifice.

The Next Legislature.

An examination of the returns show
that of the Legislature of 1873 twenty
memb rs are returned; two senators and
eighteen representatives. The two sena-
tors are Messrs. Dillingham; and Dwinell
of this county. Judge Dunton of Rutland
will be a prominent member of the Senate
and Hugh Henry of Chester is one who
has had good deal of experience in the
lower House. Sever / other senators
elect have been members of the House
also and will come to their work with ex-
perience of value there gained.
OF the old members chosen to the House
Hon. James L. Martin of Londonderry,
the excellent speaker of the last House, is
returned for the fourth time. Mr., Martin
will no doubt be speaker again, u position
for which he is eminently qualified and
which we believe no one else will serious
lv contend for. Justus Dart of Wealth
ersiield, one of the most respected and
influential members of 1878, is we are
glad to see re elected from Weathersfield.
Capt. Howe of Ludlow and Mr.. Hubbard
of Plymouth also come back from Wind
sor county.
Mr.. Scranton of Vergennes and Mr..
Mott of Alburgh, who also took prominent
part two years ago, come back. Mr.. Ely
Goddard, then of West Fairlee, will the
coming session represent the town of Ely
Judge VIM. B. circuit of Roxbury and
DR.. Templeton of Glover are also returned
we are glad to see. Charles Rogers o
Wheelock, an influential member, is
chosen again.
Of the new members many are wei
known to the people of the state and
many have had former Legislative expe
rience. Mr.. Fi6eld of Montpelier, Elk
Gov. Page of Rutland, EX-Lieut. Cows
TAFT OF Burlington and IIinckley of Chez
sea, Mr.. Abel of West Haven, Mr.. Smith
of St, Johnsbury, Mr. Thompson of 1ras
burgh, Mr.. Battell of Middlebury and Mr.
Palmer of Waterbury, are among thos'
who will be looked to to take prominen
part in the work of legislation.
The session will be an important one
for besides many of the questions on whc
legislation was partially completed in 1877
several new and important matters will
come up. The tax law of the state vii
have Il thorough examination, and tn
revision of the statutes made by Mr.. Wi

these two matters, to say nothing of other
being most important and requiring tn

Who have gained by the transaction is
not clearly apparent, but it is obvious
enough that if the transatlantic shipper is
not gratified with a profit he will not
continue shipping out of pure benevolence,
and the Great Eastern steamship, which
is being fitted to carry twenty thousand
beeves in her vast hull-an improvised
Noah's ark-may as well stop at home.
The necessity of killing the cattle on
landing will of course be alleged to be
one cause of Improbable import. But
dead meat does not seem to have Jared
much better, refrigeration having proved
too costly owing to the high price of ice.
