AN old gentleman, who had provoked
the hostility Of a fashionable lady whom
he had known in boyhood, was asked by
his wife what he had done to incur the
lady's displeasure. Nothing at ALL" re-
piled the innocent old man "on the con-
trary, l was cordial to her, and spoke of
the time when used to draw her to school
on go-cart, nearly half century ago "
His wife threw up her hands, and muir.

English cram weak ina Lewer.

LONDON; Aug. g. The Mark Lane Express
in its weekly review Of the corn trade, says:
The heat and drought continued throughout the
week The harvest is already finished in the
early districts Should the heat continue, the
harvest will be finished this week. Returns so
far received show that the average yield Of vari-
Gus kinds Of grain per acre is as follows: Wheat,
SO bushels; barley, SO; oats 20; beans, rs; peas,
IS. Rates for wheat are declining. The finest
red wheat commands from SIS to SOS, and
white wheat .3Ss per quarter Such prices
never occurred before in this country 1t is
probable they will decline still more The sales
Of English wheat the past week were SO, 993
quarters, at 36s al against 81, 500 quarters at
ABS Sd for the corresponding week last year.
The condition Of foreign trade is intangible and
indescribabie Cash offers are thS only test OF
whatvalues really are. The supply on hand
is large. There were eight arrivals OFF
the coast; one cargo was sold, nine
withdrawn and four remained, including
one Of American spring wheat Thirty carg0es
are due. Wheat cargoes on passage or for ship
uent meet with restricted and cautious demand
Flour cheaper it declined during the week
one shilling per sack all around, Maize is
weaker. In barley, beans and peas nothing is
doing. Oats are dull Linseed quiet and I'M

An unapprecfated Tree.

An Dn1ppfcclaJ0u 1Fees
Springfield Globe.
Ii the vicinity Of most Western cities and vii
lagos are clusters of trees that are general con
sidered as vegetable nuisances. They are silver
poplars, and so called because one side of the
leaf is nearly white Objection is made to these
the roots when they are disturbed in any way.
So far as is known no attempt has been made in
this country to utilize these trees for amy other
purpose than for producing shade, A Canadian,
however, has been experimenting with them,
and has ascertained, to his own satisfaction,
that they are very valuable. He states
that the wood makes excellent timber
and boards, and that it ranks next to maple as
fuel It produces very good charcoal The tree
its hardness and the ease with which it Is pro
pagated. A tree planted by him twenty years
previously yielded four cords of hrewood He
propagates il by means Of cuttings from the last
grown wood, cut q foot long from above bud
to Just below one, and thrust into the ground
about nine inches He plants them four feet
apart each way, and cultfvates them for two
years, SO that the ground is kept free from grass
and weeds, and the roots are not disturbed,
They then shade the soil SO that further cuitiva-
ton is unnecessary. Planted in this way
the trees become tail and single-stem-
med. In ten years time they afford
excellent fuel and IN cutting them
places There is some objection to having q
grove Of silver poplars on the side Of field that
IS under cultivation, as the plow will cut of
many roots and cause sprouts to roots to appear.
He recommends the tree for our Northwestern
States and Territories as we'll as for the Western
portion Of Canada. He states as the result Of
his observations, that the tree will make three
times the growth in . given number Of years
that is attained by a hardwood tree that is
ordinarily cultivated The cuttings have only
a nominal value and are almost certain to i've
and grow in any Kind Of soil The cost of cult
walton in the manner he suggests i tgifing- For
populars as superior TO any trees planted for
that purpose

reported in special dispatches to Bradstreets,
there is a distinct improvements lnAtne general

dealers not having ordered goods with any more
freedom than noted week ago. st. Louis, Kan
sas City Peoria Evansville. and in some lines at
Chicago, St Paul and Minneapolis the sales of dry
goods, notions, hardware and general groceries
have been moderately full though the gain mas
been rather by comparison with recent weeks
than with earlier expectations. Receipts OF new
wheat at leading Western markets have in some
instances exceeded anticipatons at current rates.
In others, notably at Minneapolis, the receipts
have been very light indeed. Our own adV1ces
from the Northwest are that the recent low
prices fixed by the Minneapolis nillers for
spring wheat are likely to be advanced, The
Northwestern farmers are said to, be rather bet
ter OF than expected, and, therefore likely to
hold back their grain at current rates. Bread
stuffs prices during the week have advanced on
a buying squirt at the West, a reported cold
wave, and the small stocks Of contract corn.
