THE BUSINESS SITCATION.-June has seen
gold exports to the amount of S., 800, 900,
and over 1000, 900 of this took place last
week, or more than one third. Both the
time of the export and Its amount are un-
expected The movement of merchandise
| in May and the early weeks of June had
raised the hope that the exports of gold
were nearly over and the approaching ex
ports of cotton and grain were expected to
prevent revival of the outflow of gold.
The demand now comes not from England
in the first instance, but from France and
Germany. This is only another way of say
! ing that the financial importance of Berlin
and Paris, relatively to London, is increas-
| ing ia the present condition Of English
trade and industry, both depressed as they
never have been before. The ultimate
destination of this outflow does not change
the fact, however, that under its influence
greenbacks are replacing specie in New
York bank reserve. Since the first week
of June the New York banks, while in
creasing their deposits from 1864 1873, 700
to 1915, S2S, 100, an advance of $ll ,444 400,
have lost So 900 in specie and gained
| S7,572 900 in legal tenders If the senate
passes the proposition of the house to issue
silver notes of small denominations this
movement will be carried sill further and
may, before the year is over, play serious
part in changes of our currency. The Lake
Shore strike and the cut in freight rates west
Of Chicago make up the two other disturb.
ing factors in the situation; but they are
likely to have more influence on stock
manipulation than on the real conditions OF
prosperity. These remain unchanged and
influenced only by the doubts attendant
upon the approach of the coming crop
The prices of cotton, yarn, and print cloths,
for instance, bear relations at present which
they can not long maintain here or In Eng
lahd Proportionately, yarn is selling low
er than either cotton or the woven cloth,
conditions which large crop is likely to
change So wool, under the stimulus of
London woolrate, has advanced in the west
to point which may not be maintained
The metals remain unchanged with the re-
port of steady demand in spite of the
large product now in progress. Crop news
continues of the best, and If prices weaken
il is because the consumption of grain ia
Englana-Our greatett customer-shows
signs of decrease. Few more eloquent
facts in the commercial and POLITICAL sit
uation can be named than that the con
sumption of wheat In Great Britain has not
increased in the past three years, although
population has. and that the consumption
of sugar since January l has fallen one iftn,
from 100000 tons in 1885 TO 40S, 900 tons in

FARM GARDEN
To Shoe a Kicking Horse.

The extracts and illustrations that we
have given from Professor G.eason's horse
book have pleased cur farmer friends so well
that we lay before them this weak another
OF the great horse educators useful ideas.
1t is the method Of safely shoeing kicking
horse behind. We have seen the professor
with hide as full of ''cussedness" as il
could stick an animal that both struck out
before and kicked out behind, and In twenty
minutes tbs marvellous man had him as
gentle as q lamb. After being dealt with
by the method here explained. the horse
allowed hims IL TO be tapped all over his
hoofs and hind legs without moving hair.
Before that he had to BE- put into some sort
Of a cage whenever he was shod. and the
operation cost owner $40 every time.
