Large Wheat Receipts.

A great many st. Louis wheat mel
say that this years crop hasn't begun
to move yet: that farmers are holding
off waiting for better prices. If this is
true the crop will go above the esti-
mate. Commenting on the above, the
Globe-Democrat says:
While it may be true that farmers are not
shipping the bulk of their wheat to market,
it is a fact. nevertheless, that the receipts at
st. Louis for the month of August were the
heaviest for one month in the history of the
city The receipts amounted to 5,194 sos
bushels. This is an increase of BOB 5.O13 bush
els over the receipts of August last year, and
2,566.6 19 bushels above July this year The
heaviest receipts in any previous month
were those of July, 1885, when the amount
was 4,416,210 bushels. The receipts for July
and August this year, or for the two months
since the new crop began to be received
We're S,S22, 461 bushels. This exceeds any pre-
yious two months by 1,063,2S3 bushels, the
heaviest two months on record being July
and August, 1852, when 7,759,14S bushels were
the receipts. The receipts for the same two
months last year were 4,645, s52 bushels. The
shipments for the past two months have
also been heavy, and amounted to 5,133, S9s

THE AMERICAN HOG.

The Embargo Having Been Raised He
Can Now Enter the German Dominions
without Ouestion-A Probable Market
for Some of Our Surplus Corn.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-Secretary
Rusk yesterday received official notice
that the German government had raised
the embargo on American pork. The
agreement relative to the admission of
pork into Germany was signed at Cape
May Point about ten days ago, but at
the request of the German government
the fact was withheld from the public
press until official action could be taken
by the home government. The agree
ment not only provides for the admit
tance of our pork into Germany, but
also affords to the United States the
same schedule with reference to our
farm products as that enjoyed by Rus
STA.
Secretary Rusk is confident that he
will soon be able to extend our market
for corn by introducing it into Germany
for use as an article of food in the
place of rye, the crop of which, in Ger
many, is this year exceedingly short.
To this end, he has instructed his corn
agent, Col. c. J. Murphy, now in Eu-
rope, to proceed at once to Beein, and
lay the matter before the German gov
erpynant
