The Worlds Wheat Crop.

The reports from Austria and the
Danube valley are about the only one,
that give encouragement Of a bountiful
harvest. In England the rains in the
early part of July are said to have al
tered the prospects for the harvest very
considerably, and that the high promise
of early spring will be in no way full,
filled. In France the wet weather has
been such that considerable part of
the wheat crop will be damaged by rust.
In Germany wet days and cold nights
have prevailed to such an extent as to
make Il small crop certain, while in
Russia reports, although conflicting, are
of a character which make it doubtful
whether the yields will be up to the
average. In India the official figure:
tons. against G,5l0,000 tons in 1888
and 1,l43 600 tons in 1855. On these
figures it is estimated that the exports
of wheat for Europe will be about
Gj0,0o0 quarters less than last year, and
nearly 100000 quarters less than two
years ago. In the United States the
crop, for a variety of reasons, is believed
to be considerably under that of last
year. Taking these various estimates
into account, it is safe to say that the
demand for wheat in western Europe
some wears past, and, consequently, the
price of wheat in our market promises
to average higher during the next
twelve than during the past twelve
months.

JAY GOUlD'S DAUGHTER.


Old Women from the Country.
In q Fifth avenue stage an old and
rneanly dressed woman unconsciously
made the ride merry for three snowy and
fashionably attired damsels. First. she
fumbled in her rusty skirt a long time
trying to find her pocket; then she thrust
her hand through an unexpected slit in
her gown instead of thesupposed pocket,
and the look of intense disrnay on her
| face as She imagined some villain had
cut off that pocket sent the young
women into commissions of silent laugh
| ter. Soon the poor creature recovered
herself, renewed the search and found
the pocket. Removing a handkerchief, a
snuff box and pair of cotton gloves, she
at last produced the shabbiest pocket
book ever seen, causing n great number
of mods and becks and wreathed smiles
from the trio of observers.
Then she fumbled long time with
the fastenings of her treasury; these
finally undone. she took out brass thin
Bile, a troche, a spool Of twist, section
of a paper of pins and last the solitary
nickle it contained Then she peeped
about for the proper place to deposit the
nickel. None seemed to have been pro
vided. The honest creature got on her
| feet, and the thi,nble, the troche. the
twist and the snuff box tumbled to the
hQor, the pin sticking. like an old friend.
to her skirt Needless, apparently, Of
this disaster she pottered about the wall
behind her seat, pressing her trembling
| t,ni1 Int
bit of fringe, but found no place for her
fare. Then she dropped to her seat with
"A loud complaint.
There amt no contribution box nor
nothin' for the fare she said. where
| come from there's alters a box; n now
my thimble II mysnutf box n my troche
is all gone to Joppy," and she began to
cry.
The merriment of the three damsels
was now almost beyond control, though
they affected well bred airs by covering
their mouths with dainty handkerchiefs
and looking out of the window. A
slight Young girl simply attired, but
with an air of elegance about her. had
| been sitting in IA corner "a quiet but keen
| observer Of the scene. She now rose,
picked up the old woman's scattered
property, and handing it to her shyly
said:
ALLOW me to hand your fare NJ, and
tell me where you want to get off. III
| ask the driver to LOOK after you"
| After deal more fumbling with the
ancient pocketbook a slip of paper with
an address was produced. The address
and the promised request Were given to
| the driver, who was charged to take par
| ticular care Of the lady, rs she was fee
bic. The grateful old woman was as
sured that she would he well looked after,
and the young girl left the stage. AS
she reached the ground gentleman
raised his hat and said:
Good morning, Miss Gould"
She was Jay Gould's daughter Helen

Scales are what tell the story on the
amount of hay harvested. Last spring
one of the best farmers In this county put
in pair of floor scales in his barn. and
this season every load of hay has been
weighed as it has been hauled In. 1t il
great thing to tell the truth. and while
the farmer has never been inclined to
over estimate his crop in past years. he
was somewhat surprised to find that with
his bays and seoifolds full, and extra
overhead seoffolds pat up to make room
for his large crop. he only had 'just so
many tons- 1t takes quite pile of hay
to weigh out seventy. five tons. and many
farmers who think they cut that amount.

decreasing Values OF Farm Products

1t will be remembered that last year it
was said by the democratic aud free
trade papers that the protective tariff
forced prices down. How will they ac-
count for the present rise in corn. wheat
and farm commodities this year. Corn
higher, flour higher, pork higher. Have
any Democratic or free trade papers
taken notice that this is in spite of the
''robber tariff which is the same this
year that il was last. Unless something
happens very soon the Democratic ar
gumeut that a tariff hurts the farmer by
increasing the price of things he is COM
PEELED to buy and decreasing the prices of
what he has to sell will lose its force.
Producers are beginning to realize that
over production had more to do with
prices last year than the tariff had
There has been as Senator Morrill, said
recently, "a giut of misinformation dis.

will now begin to reap the whirIwind.
