slightly modified impressions given by
the bureau in its May statement. In some
localities better weather has improved the
outlook, but In others the usual wet ana
late spring has checked sowing. Present
indications do not warrant expectation
of a yield much exceeding 400, 100000
bushels, which, with surplus carried
over. would not permit exports mnch
exceeding I00. ZOO, 900, or So, 200, 900 bush.
els less than last years. The price is u
cents higher than week ago. Corn has
risen 2 cents and oats cent, with lard 20
cents per 100 pounds higher, hogs and
pork unchanged. The speculation in
cotton, sugar and coffee is checked
by the indifference OF buyers. Oil has risen
3cents. Because Of shrinkage in house
building, the demand for house building
materials and supplies Is for time re-
duced. The decrease in railroad building
affects other branches Of industry.
The competition OF southern furnaces in
time Of shrinking demand Is important.
The dry goods market has not materi-
ally changed. Restricted and hand-to.
mouth dealings are the rule. Prices OF
wool average q shade lower than May last.
The caution OF buyers Is still felt in the
boot and shoe trade. The stock market
closes with the average Of prices shade
lower than week ago.
The business failures during the past
seven days number, for the United States
1863, for Canada 20, a total Of 1870, com
pared with 200 last week and 1870 for the
corresponding week last year.

imitable wit and humor that kept the as
semblage in roars OF laughter. He was
followed by Mr.. VIM. II. Fleming, OF the
visiting party, in brief, but eloquent and
humorous effort, in which he reviewed
the rapid and substantial growth Of Au-
gusta in the past few years. He in
turn was succeeded by Capt. j. III.
Martin, president Of the Merchants ex-
change in happy strain, adding renewed
sincerity to the welcome extended. Col.
J. w. Ryckman, president OF the Augusta
Exposition company, followed President
Martin, devoting his remarks almost en-
trcly to the exposition and its glowing
prospects. He referred, in conclusion,
to the singular fact that the
coach In which were the local
reception committee was coupled to
their coach directly over the dividing line
between Tennessee and Mississippi. He
regarded this as typical Of the perpetual
riveting OF Memphis and Augusta. Mr.. j.
Rice Smith, chairman Of the visiting dele
cation, again proclaimed the gratitude OF
his party for the overwhelming hospitality
extended them, after which President
Hadden proposed toast to the riveting OF
Memphis and Augusta. 1t was drunk
standing, and the happy gathering dis
persed.

The condition OF the upper streams re-

Mississippi at many points between 81.

Death a Welcome Release.

Must it not be to those who endure life
long bodily suffering? From childhood to
old age many persons are tormented with
rheumatism and neuralgia. Ordinary med
ication and topical remedies are of slight
and always of temporary efficacy. 70
escape the extreme tortures of these ago
nizing complaints, they should be ami
hilated at the outset with Hostetters Stom-
ach Bitters, which expels from the system
the acrid impurities that 5eget them. The
evidence as to its efficacy as a blood de-
purent in this particular is very ample,
and strongly concurrent and convincing.
In violent forms of these diseases. the
nerves are terribly racked. A wineglassful
or two of the Bitters before the hour of re-
tiring usually brings respite from pain,
and enables the sufferer to secure much
needed repose. For kidney troubles, ma
larial complaints, indigestion, liver COM
plant and constipation, the Bitters is like
wise beneficial.

Southern Pacific business.

The San Francisco Bulletin saws: The
remarkable travel westward during the
past six months, and the unprecedented
growth of freight traffic, have baffied all the
principal lines of transportation. The rail-
road men expected an increase in passenger
and freight traffic, but none had little idea
of the growth that has been deyeloped as
the season advanced. The result of it was
shown in freight blockades and long DELAYS
that were unavoidable. In some instances
freight shipments from the East on both
the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific routes
have taken fully three months or more to
reach their destination on this coast. All
this has been vexations alike to the shipper,
to consignee and to the transportation COM
panies.
The railroad companies are now planning
with forethought for next seasons traffic.
The Southern Pacific alone has orders in
Eastern shops for over one hundred and
seventy five locomotives for use, both in
passenger and freight service Nearly all
these orders have been sent in since Janu-
ary LIST. In addition 20 these the full capac-
lty OF the Sacramento shops for car and
locomotive construction is being tested.
70 relieve present demands efforts have
been made to obtain ready-made locomo-
tives for use General Manager Towne had
a dispatch to-day saying that five 10-wheel
engines of Houston and Texas Central had
been secured for Southern Pacific service,
and would be sent westward with crews
Immediately. They are secured by Mr.

Two College Presidents.

The election of Horace Davis to the
Presidency of the University of California,
says the Detroit Center, was almost stimuli
taneous with that of Rev. Francis L. Pat
ton to the Presidency of Princeton But
the difference between the two men NAV
possibly serve to illustrate one of the con-
trasts between the Eastern and Western
mind. Mr.. Davis is hard-headed man of
business, who makes an equally good ar
tiele of -four and sound argument on the
fundamental theory of American institu-
tions, while Mr.. Patton is learned clergy
man, who is best known by his treatise on
the " Inspiration of the Scriptures" and
his work on The Doctrine of Future
Reiribution.' Mr.. Davis came from Massa-
chusetts. and served as member from
California during the forty-ffth and forty
sixth sessions. Mr.. Patton was born in
Bermuda, educated in Canada, and has
spent most of his lie in preaching in Pres
byseriah churches.
