THE New York Tribune Of Saturday re-
viewsthe business situation Of the country
ut the close Of the year, and feels encour-
aged to expect a continuance Of good times
during 1882. 1t secs some possible dangers
ahead the same substantially rs those late
ly pointed out by the INrELLtGEXcER-but
despite the curtailment Of the crops and
the large diversion Of capital into unpro-
ductive and speculative railroad projects,
1t thinks that the country has resources
enough, and momentum enough, to go on
in career Of business activity for some
time to come. II rather expects 10 see the
crops OF 1881 net more money to the
country, at the higher prices, than the
larger crops Of 1880 at lower range OF
prices. And enormous as has been the di-
version Of capital into new railroads, still
the statistics show that the tonnage Of the
country has increased faster than the rail
road facilities for transportation. For in
stance, the six largest railroads reporting
to the New York State Engineer for 1880
showed movement Of 80, t02, 102 tons of
freight as againsto, 1882 tons in 1S7O,indi.
eating that the roads have doubled theirton-
mage each five years The other railroads
reporting for TINT year show q tonnage of

1870, So that, taking everything into con-
sideration, the Tribune feels that We are not
yet very close on to tho rocks.

TINS Pittsburgh iron market does not APP

II was ten days ago. The quotations given
for forge iron are So, 1000 and $25 so, four
months. This appears to be the governing
price, and it is rather intimatcd that there
was trickery in boosting quotations to
$e7 90 a few days ago. Whether British
manufacturers or Lake Superior ore men
were at the bottom Of it does not appear,
but it is noticeable that prompt dispatch
,wenttrom Pittsburgh to the London TMsS
reporting boom on hands, and that this
dispatch was also made public in New
York all for effect, perhaps, in quotations,
and quite possibly with view to getting
up o demand by cable for British iron, or
enabling British agents in New York to

TaE lowest price for wheat at Chicago
mo. 9 spring spot wheat during tho
year Just closed WIS oslo per bushel, and
the highest price 81 49,. The lowest price
occurred January 4th and tho highest Dc
tobcr Sd. The lowest price for corn was in
February, S5ic, and the highest price in
October, 7O!c. In the previous year the
lowest and highest price for wheat was
S0tc and 81 92l, and for corn, size and
Ale, The present tendency OF both wheat
and corn seems to DO toward somewhat
higher pricees than have been ruling for
some time past, but whether. the high
prices Of October will be current this yeai
is a problem about which there is a great
diversity Of views Farmers have not been
willing to sell freely at the decline, and
many Of them are holding for a return OIL
the tide. The Chicago Tribune Of Satur'
day, in its summary Of the crop situation
at the close Of the year, does not encourage
this idea Of higher prices than those nov
prevailing. It estimates the shortage in
wheat as compared with the crop Of 1880 al
900000O0 bushels, and Of corn 10000, 900
bushels, but says that the surplus loft over
from the previous plcthoric year has gone
far to neutralize high prices.

Our Beef Prospects.

James :. Bri>bcn. who has given much at
iention to stock raising, and who predicted
the present high prices of beef three years
ago. has written the New York Herald very,,
interesting letter from Montana Territory re-
garding the beef prospects of this country.
In the first place he saws that the present beef
famine is only panic. but it is a warning of
what NAV occur if our people do not take
pains 10 raise more cattle. MIR. Brisben gives
the figures to show that the increase Of cattle
in the United States has not kept pace with
the increase of population--that since 1860
only four States and Territories have it,-
creased their stock compared with the popu-
lation,) five have stood still and thirty have
decreased. Last wear We had for our so, ,0O0,-
o0o OF people $4,000, 600 of cattle. 80. .o00, 900
OF sheep and "a, 600 600 of swine. This. mea-
gre as il is, Is not fair statement, because so
many beef cattle are shipped abroad. Last
year Mr., Brishen saws that our population In
creased one and a half per cent. while our
stock supply was increased only one per cent.
At this rate il will not take long to make beef
permanently high and beyond the reach of
millions OF people. At the present time the
raising of beef cattle is most profitable in
dusiry. The writer asserts from his personal
ohserr alton that a stock raiser with q fair
sized herd can make from 20 to so per cent
ahHuaiiN Vu MS HitntN-tHat stVtEHt CNItt
raising companies have annually divided 25
per cent besides receiving a handsome sur
plus for increasing their herd> He further
states that the reports that there is no longer
good grazing lands in the lar West are in
vented by stockm,n, who desire to maintain
their present gains. He declares that it will
pay to raise beef in this country for so, ,000,-
0o0 of people, and that il can be done withpu,
largely enhancing the cost of production.

More than four times the average annual

The great iron strike has lasted two months

would not he worth a farthng, but today,
says the Philadelphia Press, these self-same
farmers are telling everyone what phenom-
eDal yield the summer has brought. Indeed,
the crop is almost without precedent, and will
exceed four million baskets. Nevertheless,
the growers look for higher prices, first, on
the ground that the fruit is of very superior
quality; secondly, for the reason that con
sumers are better able to .ay higher prices
than ever before. and thirdly, because the
backward season exhausted the stock of
canned fruit.
The Press says that Portland physician
was recently called to attend a lady patient
who was evidently suffering from the effects
of some virulent poison. She presented all
the marked symptoms of one who WAS In
most dangerous condition, requiring prompt
and active remedies. Upon investigation the
doctor ascertained the lady had been in the
habit of eating cloves, commencing, as many
do, by taking one occasionally. Then she in
creased her allowance daily, until she was
hardly ever without Glove in her mouth.
When seized with this sharp attack she had
consumed whole quarter of pound Of
cloves the same day. After vigorous measures
had been adopted, and after long struggle
the lady was pronounced out Of danger.

Rcclaiming Pasture Lands.

The most difficult pastures to reclaim, says
the Ploughman, are those that are very
rocky and covered with bushes; but such
land when once reclaimed makes the best
of pastures. To cut the bushes in such
pastures once year, as many do. is but
little advantage; it never kills the roots
and only encourages the tops to grow
thicker every year. In our opinion it
would be better to cut the bushes on one
acre four times in one year than to cut the
bushes on four acres once a year: or in
other words. it is better TO cut the bushes
on only snch an amount of land as can be
subdued the first year, and so continue the
work until the whole pasture has been re-
claimed. If the bushes be cut very close
to the ground the last Of August, and
grass seed be sLwn and covered with a
good dressing of fine manure the
grass will get well established in the au-
tumn. and be ready to grow in the spring
before the bushes sprout; if the bushes
be kept cut off and no sprouts permitted to
grow more than three inches, before cut
ting. very large proportion of the roots
will die in August the roots of the grass
will feed on the decayed roots of the
bushes, and the grass will grow so thick,
that with very little assistance all of the
bushes will be killed out The labor of
thus killing the bushes is not very great.
if the work be faithfully done at the prop
er time; only few days neglect in June
will double the labor. The secret is in
cutting the sprouts close, and not permit
ting them to grow but few inches before
cutting. The root of bush cannot live
long in the growing season, without n top,
and the more grass there is to cover the
ground the less chance is there for the
bushes to sprout.

Experienced cultivators know that in the
driest times soil kept well cultivated will
show certain degree of moisture two or
three inches below the surface, and when
not cultivated will be dry as powder sew
era! feet deep. The influence of culture
in this respect is wonderful and especially
when the subsoil plow has been employed.
This greatly increases the power of the
soil to draw moisture from below in time
