The Coming Wheat Crop.
New YORK, April 29th.-The Commercial
Bulletin thinks that the condition of Euro
pean crops indicates probability of generally
good harvests, and that the coming wheat
crop in the United States will probably equal
that of 1879. Judging from the average of
the last five good years in Europe, the latter
will require of the United States this year
52, 000, 600 bushels for absolute consumption,
to say nothing of what might be needed to
replenish reduced stocks. We shall have a
surplus of 133, 000, 900 bushels for export 1t
seems reasonable to estimate that our present
rate of wheat production will be found to ex-
ceed the normal demand for home and foreign
markets by about 100, 000, 900 bushels. Under
these circumstances it becomes a grave ques-
ton what is to be the result of the current
laroa Intinx of "a n tha Mast a,,I fba
early augmentation of our grain acreage An
agricultural reaction in that section seems al
most inevitable.
Hanging to be Made Less Unpleasant.
New York, April 29th.-Among the ex-
cursionists of some note at present in New
York is William Marwood, the pupil and
successor of the late Mr.. Calcraft, the re-
nowned London executioner. He visited the
Tombs prison yesterday and inspected the
gallows, and pronounced the American sys-
TEN of hanging barbarous, and explained the
English method. 1t is probable that the
next hangings here viii be by the English
method, and Marwood himself will superin-
tend them.

Mining Share Market in New York.
NEW York, April 29th.-The World saws:
On no day during the current year has bust
ness been so dull on the mining stock ex.
change as it was to-day, ana the record of
sales shows that only 1850 shares have
changed hands-not quite half so many as
aggregated yesterday. The feeling of dis
trust and uncertainty prevails to such an ex-
tent that very few outside orders are being
sent. The market for mining shares here is
so much controlled by the San Francisco
market that boom is not to be expected SO
long as the quotations from there show de-
clining tendency.
