Gambling in Grain.

In an interview with reporter of the
New York Herald, Mr.. Rufus Hatch said
that the recent advance in wheat may have
been brought about by manipulation, but
that the rise in corn was the natural result
OF condition of affairs which still exists,
and which may make corn still higher. He
explains the matter as follows: "There is II
strip Of land along the west side Of the Al
legheny Mountains and extending through
the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois MissOu-
ri, Kansas and Kentucky II is about u
thousand miles long and from i've hundred
10 seven hundred miles wide. That en-
braces all OF what is known as the winter
wheat section Of this country, and what is
known to the grain men as the corn belt
This year the winter wheat raised in this
section will be between forty and sixty per
cent of the usual crop. But corn is even
worse, and there is no question that there
will be a good deal less than half crop In
brief, the whole caiise Of the recent rise in
grain may be summed up in two words
short crops. The shortage in corn is more
marked than In wheat, and the members of
the wheat pool would not have been 50 sue
cessful In bulling No. 2 red ii the failure Of
the corn crops had not helped them. This
was something like a piece Of luck, for the
condition Of the corn yield was not known
when the wheat pool was formed. In the
first place the winter grain was injured by
the extreme severity Of last winter. The
heavy SHOWS wet great deal Of corn that
had been cribbed. Then came the long dry
spell Of this summer, which has seriously
affected the only yield this year-that which
Is harvested In June. Why, when 1t was
threshed II turned out only one-half what 1t
was expected 10 yield. l have seen speci.
mems OF corn from almost all sections, and
the ears are largely composed Of mere 'nub-
bins, and the wheat Is equally poor, with a
short and thin berry. The pool was formed
last Spring, and consisted Of spectators in
Chicago, Cincinnati, 81. Louis and this city
At that time everybody else was bear. II
was known that we should not have full
crops In this country, but II was not sup.
posed that they would fall far short of an
average, and the estimates Of the crop in
Europe were for very heavy yield.
The pool Us they call II consisted of men
like Mr.. Armour, Jas. X. Keene, Hutchin.
son, Of st. Louis, and several others. They
sent agents 10 the grain country, and soon
found ample reasons to know that the crops
were going 10 he hardly more than half whai

BrookeyilIe Industries.-Among tn

BrOOkeville MISUNDERSTANDING the
most attractive and at the same time useful
institutions about the above named town is
the Wagon and Carriage Mandatory OF
Messrs. Hopkins & Weer. These gentle
man have by fair dealing and strict atten-
ton to business gained an enviable noto-
riety, and their vehicles, while in make and
finish equal that of city manufacture, are in
such demand that the proprietors cannot ac-
.commodate all unless their customers will
consent to wait their respective turns. This
they generally do, resting sure Of getting
good wagon or carriage when their turns
arrive. The woodwork and painting de-
partments are under the present supervision
of the firm, while the ironing or the black
smith department is directed by that "boss
mechanic" Mr.. Chas. II. Fisher, name
which carries with it the assurance of good
and honest work.
During the Fair next week these gentle
men will have some samples on the grounds
and we bespeak for them more than casual
glance by those who desire TO purchase a
good article.

Painful Afiiicti0n.-It becomes our
sad duty to chronicle in this weeks issue
two additional deaths In the family Of DR..
Crawford, making three within the past two
weeks, and all from the same character of
disease. Truly the aflliction is narrowing
one and the distressed family have with
them in their heavy burden the profound
sympathy of the entire community We can
well imagine how much of resignation it re-
quires, as well as how crushing to the atfec-
ton of father and mother, to have the with
ering breath Of death invade the family cir
Gle and fall with such terrible effect upon
their blooming offspring-and We sincerely
trust that they may pass through this trying
and painful ordeal.

At the Fair.-Mr David Croft, the

be present at our Agricultural Fair, next
week, with splendid assortment of goods
in his line. Mr.. G. has enjoyed a large trade
with the people of our county for several
years, his goods giving general satisfaction,
and we are certain he will receive kind
greeting from his old friends and custom

Fair for lSSl.-The indications all point
to successful exhibition at our next Fair
There will will be larger and better dis
play of Machinery and Agricultural Imple-
ments than ever before. There is promise
of a full display of all sorts of stock. Sew
eral stalls have already been engaged for
fast horses. The Society has reason to ex-
pect more fast horses than for several years
past, and We have enough horses of our own
to prevent combinations and put-up races.
Several Of our county men have horses in
training now and some of them give pro-
mise of speed
There will be some curiosities in the house
hold department, as for instance some flow
ers from Mt. Vernon and some artificial
flowers made of fish skin from Martha's
Vinyard, Mass. Many of the ladies in this
vicinity have promised to do everything in
their power to make this department inter-
esting
In fact there are tiattering indications for
every department, and all that is necessary
now for the permanent success of the So
ciety is good attendance of people this
year. The season for the past two years
has been rainy and many people have been
prevented from attending. Hence they can
better afford TO attend, this year, all three
days. The Society is in debt and failure
this year would be discouraging and disas-
trous. Hence we again urge every citizen of
the county to take special and personal in
terest in this years Fair.
The Managers of the Fair have invited
Company A, Washington Light Infantry, to
be present on the third day Of the Fair and
have good reason to believe that they will
be here. This is one of the "crack" COM
panies Of this part of the country They
will have seventy-five or hundred men in
line and will be accompanied by band of
thirteen to fifteen pieces and will give a
dress parade. This will be novelty to our
people and well worth seeing.
An Agent of ID. NJ. Osborn SS Co, the
well-known machinists, called on the Sec
retary of the Agricultural Society on Tues
day and informed him that they desired to
bring full line of their machinery To the
Fair and desired permission to put up
steam engine to run their Combined Reaper
and Binder. This will be u first rate chance
for our farmers to see the working of this
machine.
