A CAT STORY.
The Trouble a Bogus Want advertisement
brought to Jenny Lynch.
mrih

The people living in the vicinity of
Thomplins-ave. and Hancock-st., Brooklyn,
were surprised yesterday morning by seeing
number of small boys, each with huge
Maltese cat in basket or in his arms, maxi
ing their way to the house Of William Lynch,
at No. $40 Hancock-st., one of a row of
white frame houses fronting upon the open
lots which extend for nearly mile along
the street. The boys appeared in response
TO an advertisement in a Brooklyn news
paper, offering 81 for Maltese cat, by Jen-
ny Lynch, at the place named. When the
first boy appeared and offered his cat, Miss
Lynch did not know what it meant until the
advertisement was shown to her. She sent
the boy away, saying that she did not want
TO pay such an eXhorbitant price, and was
disposed to regard the matter as a good joke.
BY the time the fifth cat appeared, however,
she was ready TO wish that Maltese cat had
never existed, aud after a dozen cats had
been offered to her Miss Lynch decided to
stop the advertisements which she had had
no hand. At the newspaper office she said
that she had not authorized the advertise
ment and did not want to pay 81 for one.
She thought that she had been made the vic
Iln OF JOKE by some tnOugntleSS person
who wished TO annoy her.
At her house last evening Tribune repor-
ter was told that she was not at home. 1t
was evident that the family patience had
been exhausted by the superfuity of cats,
and it needed only the mention of the sub
ject to brother of Miss Lynch to have him
say that the family desired to let the whole
matter drop. twas said in the neighborhood
that Miss Lynch had eYnressad a desira for
a Maltese cat to young man who attended
the same church that she did. Some of his
friends learned of the matter and inserted
the advertisement as joke. The family are
trying to ascertain who wrote the advertise.
ment and Miss Lynch has secured the origi-
nal of it.
Mr.. Lynch is letter carrier in the Brook
Ign Office, and has family of half dozen
children

1t will be readily seen that there is some mis-
take either in the first estimate
of the crop in the stock of
grain still on hand, and the experience Of last
year goes far to induce doubts of the accuracy of
the latter, and the prediction may safely be
hazzarded that it will be found when harvest
again comes round that very large surplus will
be found ON hand-sutficient in fact to wipe out
many a Spectator who has been building upon
future high prices. Advices from Europe show
that wheat is to-day selling in the London mar
kets at II 17s7d per quarter or 81 .12 per bushel
with stores and granaries loaded, and cargoes
from California and other producing points
crowding the harbors. With these facts comes
the intelligence that large masses of wheat
at New York are ''going wrong and the only
outlet for this spoiled wheat is the European
market. 1t is foolish to imagine that buyers
across the Atlantic will not Be looking out for
this spoiled grain and will not regard all cargoes
with suspicion. How then can it be expected I'M
der these circumstances that the foreign markets.
going to greatly improves? Prices at Chicago and
other points during the week have been lower, as
might naturally be expected, and the prospect
does not SEEM to be for any permanent advance.
The local market has been steady and quiet, with
prices of No. hard at 81, o. The receipts at
the elevators have been some 10000 bushels, and
shipments $500 bushels. The total
receipts by rail were $4,000, the
difference going directly to the mills. The mills
have received during the week, from all sources,
$4,000 bushels, wagon deliveries being about
10000 bushels; the consumption of all the mills
has been about $4,000 bushels, The receipts of
oats have been 81 cars about 81 900 bushels, of
which 5000 went into elevator and the remainder
to consumers. Receipts of corn have been light
amounting only to cars, Barley also has been
very light, cars only having been shipped in.
The elevators now contain compared to last week:

Before abiding to the general produce market
here perhaps it would not be out of place if re-
ference were made to the report of the depart
ment of agriculture published in the GLOBE yes
terday, wherein it is stated that on March 1, of
the present year there remained of
the last season wheat crop
100000 bushels. Government returns
showed that the full crop last year exceeded
400, 600, 900 bushels. 1t has been estimated-and
it is generally conceded that the entire yearly
consumption of wheat in this country does not
exceed 32O,O0OOOO bushels. Official reports
showed that up to January, 1882 there had been
allowing the same average there cannot
have been shipped up to March /, more
than 50,0O0,O00 bushels. 1t is also beyond ques-
ton that there was surplus of $4,000 900 of the
crop of 1882 left over. From these figures we
deduce the following:
