THE bears made strong effort to
break the wheat market in Chicago Sat
urday, but did not succeed, although
they had a magnificent harvest behind
them, and car lot receipts for the day
were the heaviest of the season. The
demand was strong and steady. There
were standing orders from the East and
from Europe that could not be filled
One broker had orders for $4,000 bush
els, and could get only 10000 Local
millers have to pay prices above those
in the Chicago market, showing that the
bears have an influence, though they are
unable to break the market for their
speculative purposes. The time seems
to be at hand for farmers to load their
guns for bear.

AN active movement of American
wheat to foreign markets has begun. A
Chicago special mentions the item of
the charter of vessel room for 250,000
bushels. One shipper sold l12, 900 bush
els cash wheat, most of it to go abroad.
Chicago shipped l27. 900 bushels and st.
Louis $4,000 bushels. There is no
sharp upward movement in the price,
however. The crop has turned out
much better than was expected. The
country will have a heavy surplus of
wheat for foreign markets this year.

A SUIT of great importance to bee
growers has just been decided in New
York The neighbor of farmer keep
ing bees brought suit against him for
$1,000 damages for annoyance to his fam
lily and stock caused by the bees, and
asked for an injunction restraining the
defendant from any longer keeping bees,
as they were nuisance. The suit was
decided against the bee grower, the
plaintiff being awarded a permanent in
junction. The bee keeper appealed from
the verdict of the General Term, which
also decided against him, and the case
will now be carried to the court of last
resort. If it should there be decided as
it was in the lower courts, the business
of bee growing will receive a heavy

THE COUNTY FAIR.

From the Cincinnati COmmercialGaZette.
Farmers throughout the Ohio Valley
have begun to make ready for their COun-
ty Fairs. The best sucking colt is being
sleeked up for the show ring, and the proud
boys that stand about admiring its fine
points imagine they can already see the
premium blue ribbon tluttering gaily from
its halter. The choice litter of pigs is re-
ceiving extra attention, and the young
grunters that take so kindly to their gen
erouS prOyender fairly shine with salts
faction. So it is with the well-bred calf
and lamb; and even the chicken-yard is
responsive to the County Fair spirit, and
there we see the ambitious young Ply
mouth Rock rooster initiating the proud
carriage and defiant voice of his noble
sire, who perhaps is resting on laurelS
won at County Fairs of the past.
Old pGter .fdmiliGS is silent on the sub
ject, but contemplative. He takes quiet
strolls through the orchard and the pota-
to patch and corn fields, and no doubt has
an eye on fair specimens that in due time
will smile on a plate in the Pathological
Department, or swell with pride amid the
potato display, or glow in yellow SplendOr
in the wealth of the corn corner of Agri
cultural Hall In certain rich spot down
in the hollow, amid the corn, where the
sunbeams fall genially, and the rain falls
sweetly, and the breeZes linger caressing-
ly, looms great pumpkin. 1t grows per
ceptibly from day to day, swelling like a
balloon. By the time the County Fair
opens that enormous pumpkin will have
reached its prime, and with some difficult
ty cheerfully undertaken will have been
mounted in conspicuous place to elicit
the wonder and praise of the passing null
titudes and fill the owners heart with
proud delight
Meanwhile, more modest preparations
are in progress about the house. Gently
attended pOsy beds will yield their fair
blossoms and sweet perfumes for the la
dies department, and will be trundled
over the road in the same wagon with the
new patchwork quilt, a tribute from
mothers hands; and the half-doZen glass
es of jelly, the jar of superb pickles, and
the jug of raspberry vinegar, and other
farm house luxuries designed for the con-
test.
A blessing on the County Fairs of the
American style They are bright indus
trial and social events that light up for
whole year-fOrward and backward the
farmers rather dreary existence. They
afford pleasure, stimulate to good endeav-
or, and renew friendships. 1t is poor
agricultural community, indeed, which
does not have its annual fair.

THE city of Spokane Falls, ", T., was
almost swept out of existence by fire on
Sunday night. 1t was situated on the
line of the Northern Pacific Railroad,
in the Southeastern part of the Terrific
ry, near an extensive mining region.
and was one of the most prominent of
the new cities of the infant State of
Washington, containing population of
about $4,000. 1t was the site for many
large industrial establishments, such as
smelling and kindred enterprises, and
there were several costly public edlfice3.
Among the buildings there were four
hotels, three banks, two public halls, five
churches, three school buildings, sixty
stores, four mills, furniture factory, a
machine shop and two daily and weekly
newspapers. The city was solidly built
Of stone and brick. The loss is estima-
ted at from ten to twelve million dollars.

THE CROPS IN EUROPE.

NJ. Halstead, in Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
There has been some discussion as to
the condition of the harvests in Europe
According to my observation there must
be considerable loss of grain in Germany
owing to the many violent local storms
that have swept over the country, and
beaten down indiscriIninately the rye, the
wheat, the barley, and oats. The early
part of the season was exceptionally dry.
Berlin was treated to period of almost
tropical heat, and the roads were for a
while filled with dust. Later in the sea-
son there were rains almost every after
noon, and frequent thunder-storms.-
Hardly day would pass but there was
news from some part of the country that
there had been tempest, accompanied
by dashes of rain and wind, sufficient to
PROSTATE the grain. The general effect
will be to reduce the aggregate of the Ger
man grain crop by small per centage.-
If the Frustrated grain were in this cOun-
try the loss would be larger, but the Ger
mans are singularly perSevering and care
full harvesterS, and will not allow any
thing to go to waste that may be saved
by labor. France, also, has suffered from
storms, but in less degree than Germany,
and it may be taken for granted that her
harvests will show good average. In
England the grain crops are about as
usual, shade better perhaps, and as there
has been an extraordinary yield of hay,
the English farmers are rejoicing in the
abundance. They take particular pride
IN hay and straw.

WHEN TROUBLE SHOULD BEGIN

WHEN TROUBLE SHOULD BEGIN.
From the Pittsburgh Dispatch
a decidedly unique theory of the con-
sideratiOns which should prevail in elect
ing national Legislators is advanced by the
PTOUidelce Journal, which says: 1.-THE
ELECTION of Field Marshal Halstead to
the United States Senate would infuse
into that dignified body as troublesome
"an element as the late Mr.. Riddleberger,
without the excuse of inebriety."
The idea that the public must abstain
from infuSing into the Senate a trouble
some element, depends for its validity
upon the interests that would be troubled.
The theory that the dignified body must
be held sacred as a place where the wick
ed cease from troubling, is flattering to it;
but it has not always proved tenable. For
instance, it was considered in the ante
belIUBl days that a decidedly troublesome
element was infused into the United
States Senate by the election of abolition
lists like Wade and Sumner. Still it would
be difficult to convince the public at this
day that the trouble thus brought about
wickedness of the Northern people in
sending such agitating elements there.
If Mr.. Halstead's election would trouble
any legitimate interests which have just
claim upon the respect of the public, there
may be some cogency to the argument
If it troubles only those who have been
ready to suppress investigation into no
torious charges of political corruption, it
may be well that trouble should COM
mence at once.
