The defeat of the Gladstone ministry
has been effected by the important ques-
ton of taxation, after formal announce
ment that he would stand or fall by the
decision. This cannot be regarded other
wise than as a mOmentous event in
England's history. The ministry pro-
posed to meet the expenses of the late
wars by an increased taxation on beer
and spirits. The opposition proposed
an increased duty on tea and wines. and
the second reading of the budget was
defeated by small majority, made up
of Parnellites, who care very little about
the taxation; the defeat of the ministry
was their aim. Now that they have
gained the end sought, they find the
future full of dismay, as the difficulties
they will have to contend with at home
and abroad are great.

right, is full brother to Oregon Rnbe.

Wheat at the Minneapolis market
during the past week has been very
strong and has steadily advanced, closing
firm at the highest price. The cause OF
the bulge has been a matter Of consid-
able surprise to deal rs, many of whom
believe that wheat is selling to high.
Nothing particularly new has been de-
yeloped as to the growing crop, save
that the weather continues dry through
out Dakota. A cold wave last week Wis
tied Minnesota, accompanied by hail,
crops were injured somewhat in a GER
tain section, but the change from ex-
treme dry and scorching heat has been
beneficial to the bulk of supply in that
section. A reduction of. 100000 bus.
in the government crop estimate for one
month is regarded as significant by some.
In the Gallatin valley the crop still
promises splendidly and has been great
lv aided by the falling moisture of the
past two weeks. In many instances ir-
rigation will be unnecessary.

Montana Wool.

Walter Brown & Co., wool dealers OF
Boston, quote Montana medium at 20
and % cents; coarse and low at Is and II
cts. From Montana their adyices eontinne
to report an improved condition of the
clip, indicating for these woods a con-
tinuanee of the favor among eastern
manufacturers which has been so pro-
nlinently developed during the past two
years. The presence IN this territory of
an unusually large number of buyers and
solicitors of consignments is evidences of
the good opinion that prevails regarding
the Montana clip, and expect that by
their careful grading to suit the require
ments of the manufacturing trade, to re-
alize for the growers the full value of
their consignments less the one neces-
sary expense of a commission.
