OUR CHICAGO MARKET REPORT.

CHicAeo. August Il, 1885.
The selling panic in wheat which
gathered force last week, broke ont
more violently tins morning. and the
market is very unsteady. We're it not
that each day brings us nearer the in
coming new crop there would be ground
to hope the bottom is not far off. With
break of over Be bushel within q
week, no large buyers appear, and until
they do come in sight there is not much
relief. The receipts OF wheat to-day
are 20 $40 bushels. Shipments of grain
eastward from this city still remain
small Notwithstanding the break in the
price of the stuff carried. Last weeks
numbered about 20. 900 tons. The corn
market is today more unsteady, being
in sympathy with wheat. The receipts
are good and promise TO be larger.
The corn~erop of this country. if the
final yield is up to the last government
report-26 to q bushels per acre-will
be 1850, 100000 bushels, the largest
ever known. The oat market is little
improved. Rye and barley is quiet
with no demand. The dairy products find
a rather easy market. The receipt OF
cattle to-day is 1000. Trade is slow
and the market dull, with decline Of
15c to zoe for native fat cattle An i'm.
proved demand is looked for the com
ing week. The hog market is activ,
and prices rather stronger; the demand
is good. The supply of sheep is larg,
and trade shows prices 15c to 25c lower

It is long time since wrote my last
letter to THE HERALD, yet the world
around hit. Hope jog the same as ever
and the same corps Of l0afers and hur-

cheerful and look as if the hand Of
dame Fortune was open wide TO them.
The mechanics all may be found at
their posts whistlng and striking the
iron while hot, or driving home the nail
without touching the quick. The FARM
er comes in or sends the blushing daugh-
ter on every Tuesday or Friday night
for their weekly budget of mail. Then
the farmer over his cigar discusses the
crops, the future prospects Of the wealth
er, the affairs of his neighbor good or
bad, then joys home happier and more
independent than king. The blush
ing damsel aforesaid, | ween, discusses
also, not the crops, nor the weather,
perchance the schools, oftimes the
beaux, and the many colored ribbons
seen at church last Sunday. Do not

4 Model Apiary.

The large amount of honey shown
below, collected by the swarms of bees,
seems almost incredible. But invention
has been brought to bear in the arrange
ments for caring for bees and aiding in
the increased production of honey.
Hives with movable frames, so fixed
that they may be removed at pleasure,
and the honey extracted from the comb
without injury, leaving it in such condi-
ton that it may be replaced all ready
for the bees to fill again, without any
waste time in making comb or honey
cells, are now used by all enterprising
bee-keepers. A machine for making
foundation" the name given to that
part of the comb from which the honey
cells project. is also used by all large
apiarists; and all old or injured comb
can be nodded and so fixed in the frames
that, with comparatively slight amount
of work for the bees, the comb is ready
to fill again. An extractor is also in
common use that takes the honey out
quickly and easily by being made to re-
volye rapidly. Artificial swarming is
also the almost inyariable method now
pursued by bee-keepers and is undoubt-
eddy long stride toward success in
bec-culture. New and improved vare-
ties of bees have been introduced. and
the knowledge of caring for them ena-
bles the business to be conducted on
scientific and safe principles. The aver
age price for the honey mentioned be-
low was probably &c. per pound. From
this it will be seen that new and profit
able field of industry is opened for
many who are not possessed of health
sufficient to enable them to do heavier
