Translated from the Russian by Isabel II.
1Iapgood 2 vols. New York Thomas v.
Cfowel & Co., Is Astor Place. Publishers.
Miss Hapgood's translation enables us to
read the lives and hearts Of Russia's chill
dren, half barbarous, passionate, aspiring,
yet degraded. The "dead souls" are the
serfs. When the author wrote such was
the condition of millions Of the people,
who now, by emancipation, are alive. Yet
they struggle, like the main body OF the
Russians, for higher life, escape from
despotic government, the blessing OF free
dom, indeed. Heaven grant 1t
The story has many happy descriptions,
many bits Of quiet humor, but sharp satire,
also, and a deep and abiding hatred against
mans inhumanity TO man. A thinking
reader, even In the sunshine Of this remark
able work, will feel the clouds above him,
the oppression and the Infamous wrong Of
tyranny.

Wheat, Corn and Hogs.

Omaha Bee: The price of wheat in
the seaboard market is TX to 8 cents
per bushel higher than it was a week
ago. and better figures have been
recorded in the interval; but in the
Chicago market the net advance for the
week is only q of a cent per bushel.
The rise in price Is the result of suH-
tanned activity in the export demand.
All cable reports indicate q decided
shortage in the out.turn of European
crops and an increase IN import. require.
ments during the year that is vsriousIy
estimated at 75,000,0 900 to 100,000,00O
bushels. English and continental markets
have sharply advanced on unfavorable
harvest conditions and a good home
demand and large purchases have been
made in the west and at Atlantic
ports for immediate and future
shipments. By far the larger share Of
these export sales have been made to
French buyers, who seem to be disposed
to make good the deficiency in their
hom supply by immediate purchases in
advance of requirements. The strong
foreign demand has impaired q very firm
feeling to all domestic markets, which
has hardly reflected in the moderate ad.
vance in prices that haa occurred this
week. The extraordinary legitimate de.
mand now apparent would ordinarily
have set the speculative market wild
with excitement, but It's effect has been
measurably counteracted by the intiu-
ence of leading Chicago operators, who
are heavily interested on the short side
of the market. Between the opposing
interests the company has profted by o
healthful expansion of its export
trade which might have been serious
ly crippled If the spacu-
lative market had taken it's usual course
in the presence of an active foreign de-
mepd. The diversion of attention to
wheat has dwarfed the dealings in corn
to comparative insignificance in oil grain
centers. Prices are one cent lower here
in the west, where the rains in the cern
belt have induced o more bearish feel
ing in speculative circles; but the
eastern markets continue firm under
light stocks of merchantable corn and q
