GRAIN.

The receipts of grain to-day were very
liberal and fully equal to all demands
While prices were steady, there seemed {
reluctance on the part Of buyers, and sell
ers were very willing to take ruling figures.
ghe present mild weather is favorable e
stock, which requires little feed, and should
Il continue there will be an abundance Of
corn and oats forall requirements. However
now is a good time for our feed men and
dealers in produce, 20 supply themselves
with enough 20 tide them over the bad
weather and miserable roads which we are
certain TO have, sooner or later, during the
winter.
In Chicago January wheat opened al
1-2i and closed at l.25i, a cent above yes
terday's prices; for December II opened at
1-2f and closed at 1.24l. which was also
cent and a half higher than the day
before. January corn opened at IS rs, and
closed at the same figures Of the evening
before, s. IL. For December Il opened at
- - and closed at So S-s, half cent of Of
the day previous.
The injury 10 the wheat crop at the
va Si y estimated at from % to 30 per
cent, TO which must be added the deficiency
in the acreage. An estimate at this juncf-
ure Is unsafe. yet Il Il very plain that the
exporting power Of Iowa Dakota and Min
nesota Il greatly circumscribed.
In Chicago to-day January pork sold for
17.10. being q decline Of twenty-five cents
since yesterday December PORK opened
at 1o.15, But showed weakness
until The Close. when 1870 was
bid. The evening before the market closed

The receipts Of cotton to-day were about
two hundred and fifty bales. Prices were
unchanged, btt very firm. The demand
cannot be regarded Us active. While there
are orders hero from spinners, The
limit Is below the ruling prices.
The falling Off OF cotton receipts at tho
ports Is evidently having its effect on the
market, and while prices are not advancing
very rapidly, there Is an apparent firmness
in all tile markets, which will no doubt be
maintained unless the receipts should as
sume larger proportions than isnow antici-
pated they will do. We are having good
weather for marketing cotton, and 1t Is
reasonable to suppose that receipts will be
heavy at all the Inland receiving ports, and
in few days at farthest will be felt ut
the ports. and NAV affect the market.

Interest in the Georgia gold mines is be-
ing revived. Upto the time Of the discov-
cry Of gold in California, the Georgia mines
were quite celebrated. There was gov
eminent mint IN the State, which alone
coined $23.OO0.c00 from, the local mines.
But the gold dust which was washed down
the hills By the streams and Hoods having
been exhausted, the mines were practically
abandoned tin after the war, but are DOW
being worked 70 q considerable extent.
Director n the Mint Burchnrd says that

IT is understood Secretary Folger has di-
rected that computation be made for the
purpose of ascertaining. at what premium
the government can afford to purchase Al
and per cent. bonds instead Of calling in
r31's, and at the same time protect the gov
eminent from loss. This has been done in
view ofthe fact that ~ and per cents are
not redeemable until 1891 and 1907, respec-
lively. If the surplus revenues should ena-
BILE the government to call in all the out
standing 81 per cent. bonds, which
will certainly occur previous to the time the
next loan natures, it is maintained there
will then be no use for surplus revenues. be-
tween the periods at winch the continued s
and per cent. bonds are redeemed, and A
and AS fall due. AS to Secretary Folger's
programme relative to the outstanding
and per cent. continued bonds, there APP
pears to be good ground for the statement;
unless some emergency arises, WINDOWS
fpolicy sss63 jips IN continued 6s in prefer.
much as the per cent. load is the oldest
debt.
1T seemsto be a settled belief in business
circles that one of the most important
measures which will come before the Forty
Seventh Congress is the consideration of a
national Bankrupt Law. The special com,
mittee to which was referred the letter OF
United States Senator John l. ingalls,,
Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, on
the subject of bankruptcy, offered
reply to the questions of the
committee in the form ola report. They
state that the enactment ola national bank
Iript law is not only expedient but abso-
lufely required for the protection of the in
steresis ofthe country; that the amount OF
tAeindebtedness required for the filing OF
:. petition u bankruptcy, voluntary or M
voluntary, should be at least $1,000, and
that the discretionary power of the courts
should be continued mainly as heretofore.
The committee hos been engaged in con-
sidering the subject during the summer,
and it Is probable that the higher house OF
Congress will have the honor of originating
the greatly needed measure of reliefto hon
cst debtors and creditors.

Twenty-six pei, cent. was the gain OF 1850
over its predecessor; 17a that of 1881 fiscal
year, over 1880. But for all this, the i'm
ports of cotton goods, even of such as are
now made in Canada, show continued
growth for the past twelve months.
THERE is a fair prospect that within
twenty, if not ten years, the United States
will stand at the head Of the nations in cot
ton manufactures. In the past ten years,
while Great Britain has made slight gain
in the amount of her manufacture the gain
of the United States has been more than 100
per cent.

THb EARTHQUAKE IN SCI0.

M. de Chivry, Paris wine merchant,
who was travelling in Scio when the
earthquake occurred, has written a vivid
description OF the catastrophe in which
his wife and four children were killed.
He himself escaped with his youngest
child and nurse. He writes that the
first shock was by far the most violent

dations; the piano, probably one Of
tho upright Instruments, tumbled over
against the window and heavy clock
was upset into the fireplace. A second
shock brought the house down, crush
ing to death the four children and their
mother, and breaking their fathers
arm. NJ. de Chivry, with the nurse and
infant passed the night in the cemetery.
The following morning he could find no
trace of the house or of the street on
which it stood. He remembers being
more deeply impressed with horror by
the shrieks Of the people and the bel
lowing of the cattle than by the crash
of the falling walls and the dull roa1 OF
the earth. His reason so far deserted
him for q moment that he fancied the
screaming inhabitants were endeavoring
to kill him, but the sight of his child
and the nurse restored his mental
balance.

BABY ELEPHANT FOOD,

DIR. Charles A. Doremus has been
much interested in an analysis of the
milk of strange animals. His greatest
difficulty was to get the milk. When
Barnum's show was here he interviewed
lioness, but her claws were too long
and menacing. He did, however, sue
ceed in getting sample of the food
upon which the only American-born
baby elephant was brought up. DIR.
Doremus gave an account of his analysis
before the American chemical society.
He said it was no wonder that elephants
were such great, hearty, over-grown
animals, because the milk upon which
they are nurtured is the richest he ever
saw. 1t contains less water and more
butter and sugar than almost any other
kind, and has besides delightful flavor
and odor. 1t is about half cream, and
the butter made from it, which is rather
softer than ordinary butter, is very rich.
The oil extracted from it is clear and
like olive oil.-Ner York San.
