Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1880-09-01

The outlook for the present crop on the
first of July, gave promise of a large in
crease over last year, but the prospect has
been injured by dry weather and other
causes, until now it is estimated hat the
yield will fall short of last year, perhaps,
2~00,000,000 bushels. In summing up the
situation the Price Current says: at
to us to be reflected by the infor-
nation before us, the states of Ohio, Ken
lucky, Tennessee and Michigan and Iowa,
which last year produced an aggregate Of
4S7, ABS 900 bushels, will equal this amount
this season. The four states Of Indiana,
Illinois, Missouri and Kansas, which last
year produced 675, 800, 900 bushels, will be
seriously short, and we propose to call it
80 per cent, assuming that the remaining
states, which produced in the aggregate
100000 bushels last year, will yield an
equal amount this season. This estimate
contemplates a reduction of 200,000,OO0
bushels from last years total, or a crop of
l,345,0O0,0O0 bushels-lS per cent below
1879, and q per cent, below the estimated
possible crop this season of 1,70O,0O0,0O0
bushels. We regard the chances as much
in favor of a smaller falling off in the
crop as for a greater deficiency than is
here Indicated"

On Their Way 10 the Arkansas
COlOny..-Dress and Manners.

AT the police headquarters last Monday
were a family of emigrants, on their way
TO the Polish settlement at Conway, Ark.
The family consisted of man and wife and
four children. the eldest not more than six
years old, the youngest a babe at its moth
er's breast. Meme of them could speak a
word of English. They were evidently
straight from Poland, as their garments
were after the cut worn by the peasants
of that country. The man was small Of
statue, dark hair and eyes, and the only
n of the family dressed after the fashion
of the American laborer, but had brought
with him the national way Of carrying a
bundle. All his household goods were
tied up in a blanket, the four ends Of
which were brought together and tied in
a knot. The knot was then slipped down
under his chin, the bundle projecting
straight out from his shoulders. Yet with
rthis heavy balance in favor of ~retrogres-
sion, he managed to walk erectly forward
The wife, a round-faced, squatty peas
ant woman, wore a short skirt, gathered
in heavy folds around the waist, a short
white waist falling in folds around the
hips, and mems boots. The oldest boy
wore knee breeches, a short kirtle belted
at the waist and a round cap. The little
girl was dressed much the same as her
mother, giving her that premature look so
common with European peasant children.
The two smallest children were dressed
in long gowns.
The family arrived on an Anchor line
steamer last night, and when found by
the police were surrounded by a gang OF
low Center alley women, who were en-
~deavoring to persuade the old man to 20
with them, hoping to fleece him of what
money he might have about him He
has a pass, furnished him by the railroad,
to the Polish settlement in Arkansas
where he will find plenty who can under
stand his atrocious dialect. and actually
have the nerve to listen to it for half q
day at a time. AT Conway there is a
church where service is held according tc
Polish customs, and other institutions
purely Of that nation,

ENTERPRISE AND INTELLI-
GENCE.
Memphis as a Wholesale Dry
Goods Market-PrOgress In
the Last Year.

The gigantic strides made by some
Of our leading wholesale dry goods
merchants lately would surprise any
body except Memphians, who have
witnessed, in a few months, the re-
demption Of a city from almost. total
ruin. Among the prominent whole
sale houses in the city, none are now
more entitled to the confidence Of the
public than the old and reliable house
Of Menken Brothers. When such
success hos been obtained, there are
always something more than common
place qualities at the helm. Sound
Judgment, probity aud a love of JUS
tice for its own sake are as necessary
in a true merchant as in the moralist.
There is no necessity for a deviation
from the straight road in commercial
life, yet many judged by their actions
would seem 20 believe so. Menken
Brothers in entering into business
twenty-five years ago set up a high
standard for their guidance they
have invariably lived up to it, and
verify they have their reward. 1t is a
pleasant duty for us to record the fact.
