Bad for Winter Wheat,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The weather
crop bulletin for December says:
During the month of December the
weather has been unfavorable in the win
ter wheat section, owing to the small

of the year the entire winter wheat sec
ton was in need of moisture, and bare,
except in northern Iowa, where the
ground was covered with six inches of
snow. From six to twelve inches of
snow was reported on the ground at the
end of the month in Wisconsin and
northern Michigan. and from one TO two
inches in Minnesota and Dakota.

CAT FOR RAT.

A SUDDEN AFFECTION DEVELOPED BY FIERCE
CAT FOR A RAT.
From Louisville. KY, letter.
A rat and a cat may be seen playing together
almost any day at livery stable in this city,
The cat is big black Tom, with long whiskers,
short tail and yellow eyes. The rat is sleek
and fat specimen of the genus rodent and has a
cunning, but prosperous and contented look
The cat is terceness and savagery itself and
bears the scars of innumerable battles, not
alone with rats and other felines. but with dogs
well, and he has never been whipped and
has never been known to decline a fight The
rat was caught i'll wire trap one night last
week. He was so upcOmmonly large and looked
so ugly as he stood up on his hind legs and
ratified the wires of his cage that his captOrs re-
solved to have some sport with him and Tom
The cat and he were. accordingly, taken over
TO a neighboring saloon, the doors closed. holes
stopped up and a select few gathered to witness
the fight.
When the rat was turned loose from the cage
Tom was ready, and pounced upon him in
stanter. To the surprise of all. however. he
did not hurt him. His claws we're sheathed.
and he plainly invited a romp. The rat did not
understand his advances at FIRST but was soon
to the cat for protection. In a short time they
became fast friends. They now play together
constantly, and seem to understand each other
perfectly. The rat climbs all over Toms back.
pulls his and tail, and treats his big friend
with the utmost freedom. Both spend the
greater part of their time under the stove in
the stable Office, and large numbers of visitors
go there to witness the unusual friendship be-
tween such natural enemies

The Soft Coal Trade.

From the Coal Trade Journal
Soft coal is quiet; the note of preparation for
the spring campaign has not been sounded
perhaps because so many will have ample sup
plies at the usual time of opening. It is said
that the soft coal pool of the seaboard has been
so far perfected that the percentages have been
agreed to. The 20 cents per ton forfeit. it is
thought. viii hold the pool together all the
season. There have been contracts made in
the eastward FOR coal for this years delivery.

points there Is really no movement as vet to-
ward business for the current year. 1t is
claimed tiat all IL peace once more between
the railroad" shippers of Pittsburg coal and

former are 10 take care that no one cuts the
rate for coal. The meeting at Columbus next
month. which Is to take up the question of
wages for mining coal, is not likely to be of any
very widespread interest. in fact the competi-
ton on price in making sales il pushed to such
an extent at present that it is almost impossi-
