The steers raised on the plains, OF
in Texas or Oregon, before they reach
the Chicago and eastern market are
veritable work oxen Though they
may not bear the yoke, yet from then
calfhood they have been used to daily
marches for food and water, and been
compelled to seek the foot hills OF
even the sides of the mountains for
pasture, where there is no water. All
this is great against the character of
/ the beef, and it is useless to expect
even the high grade steer Of the plains,
even if they Ia! the same quality of
sweet grasses, to be first class beef.
And the Oregon STEER, when he arrives
at the Missouri river, has performed
drudgery end servitude that has
made his flesh hard and |eathery,
there being no more morb'ing in his
flesh than in that Of the workhorse, the
gray hound or the antelope, There
are now, it is stated % 500 head Of
Oregon steers slowly vending their
way over the mountains and deserts.

AGRICULTURAL.
American Grain in Europe.

There is much speculation over th
future course OF grain exports from thu
U tied States, and as to 'the demant
for actual consumption in Europe. i
is assumed in some quarters that
considerable share of the present crol
will neither be needed here nor re-
quired to make up the Deficiencies Of
English and French crops. In the
event of large surplus being throw
on he market it is very certain that
consumption would increase. In the
general accopat Of exchanges, corn is
taking a more important place than
before, and it has gained in price ma.
terially during the sun mer, although
wheat has declined. The demand for
1t is another striking evidence Of the
dependence Of Europe for the staples
of food upon this country, depend
ence which increases with every year,
with little regard to the current crops.
Taking the trade in all kinds Ct grain
and food, nothing has exceeded the
business Of the last three months, and
at the very crisis of doubt and d .tfer-
ences of opinion the greatest aggre
gates are exported. The latest reports
from the Western states promise an
increase in the wheat crop Of Mime

In the face Of any other state ot facts
than that recently disclosed as to the
deficiency Of tie ENGLISH and French

ALDRICH,S BILL.

SENATOR LOGAN AND THE MERCHANTS.
Senator Logan held short conference yester-
day afternoon at his room in the Palmer House
with John Tyrrell, of the firm Of Burley Iyr-
rell, John E. Wilson, of Wilson Bros, Appraiser
Ham, and Johu G. Wilson. Of 6. W. Sheldon s.
Co., in relation to the Aldrch Hnulcdiate-Trans-
portat1on bill. Senator Logan explained that
the measure had already passed the House, and
was now in the hands Of the Finance Committee
Of the Senate. An amendment hns been sent In
by the Treasury Department, however, proFld-
ing for uualrup uplicate instead Of tripllcate in
v.,lces and hts own opinion was that, If Mr.
John 6. Wilson, who understood the subject very
fuiiy. were to 70 down TO Washington and eN-
plain that the amendment was Wholly ui.tleces-
sary, the Committee would recommend the pns-
sage Of the bll IN thc seaate en- t Gltno IL: IN IN

yor OF tho bill as It stood, and Senator Logan
believed that even baynrd coui4 DC DC Persaoedd o,,d
that to report it to the Senate with Il recoul-
mcndation that it be tackled on to the bili would
bill. as thus amended, would have to start on its
travels again through the two Houses, and there
would hnrily be time for that this session. The
the question whether he should be in
tainly Should return, there bcfcrc the
close OF the soIn ne neoo 'ie mo.
and % work for The pissaxe Of the bili with all his
might. The first thing to do, however, was 10
get IN carly and Il favorable report from the
Committee On Finance, and this important end,
he believed, could be accomplished If Mr. VIII
son or somebody equally we'll posted were to go
down to Washington and appear before the
Comnittee.
Mr. Wilson acknowledged the value Of the
Senator's efforts in behaf of the bin when @ he
was In Washington before, and Mr.. Tyrrell.
with n good-natnred laugh, remarked that II
the Senator were not out here now the
importers would not have this opportunity Of
talking with him on the subject The importers
were certainly very much obliged to him for the
friendly interest he had taken in the hill, and
hoped he would renew his previous efforts OIL
his return
After some further talk of fl siullnr nature,
and shrevd suggestion from one of the gen
tlerncn that the Treasury Department amend
ment referred to was presumably invented IN
the hope that it would drag the matter. along
and kill the bill for this session, it was DECIDED
that the only thing to be done was to send Mr:
Wilson to Washington, as suggested, and that
Senator Logan would cooperate with tho other
friends OF the bill to the full extent Of his power
on his retlirl, to Washington. Mr.. Wilson will
probably leave for Washington Monday night.
