Senate on the 30th, the pending question was
on Mr. Carlisle's motion TO strike out the
wool paragraphs (a51 Ia 369). 50 as 10 place
wool on the free list. Mr.. Daniel addressed
the Senate In support OF the amendment.
Mr.. Hawley replied Ia some of MIR. Daniels
illusions To Connecticut agriculture, and
reminded him that the tendency of popu-
lations toward towns and cities was COM
mon I'm all states and nations The
effects OF that tendency were modified
10y keeping up the manufactures, without
which the population OF Connecticut would
be reduced. He was convinced that there
were more landholders i'm Connecticut now
than there used To be. The land was in
creasing in value, and the population of
the State had grown since the census OF
1880 by 11S,OO0 The money in savings

WHEAT IN THE NORTHWEST.
Ninety Million Bushels In Minnesota and
tie Two DakOtas.

The wheat estimate Of 10000, 900 bushels
for Minnesota and the two Dakotas has un-
dergone little change during the past ten
days Wheat has been generally thrashed
in the southern portion Of Minnesota, and
returned about an average yield. The
quality. however. Is inferior 10 that Of last
year. In the central part of the State the
wheat has been generally cut and H. now In
the shock. Little or no thrashing has been
done. but the crop is an average one. As To
quality, No northern Will be the eXcep-
tion. while No. northern willbe the rule. In
Northern Minnesota and North Dakota
much Of the crop still remains uncut, but
most OF IL is believed 10 be sufficiently ma
tured to withstand the effect Of frost. The
continuance Of rainy weather FOR the next
few days will cause great damage. Some
authorities estimate that the damage done
by frost and rains amounts TO 10 per cent,
while others consider that no serious injury
has been done.

time better crop prospects have brought a
