who have been laboring for wear since
the dreadful Hill Farm mine disaster
have at last put out the last Pickering

persisted ia this part of the mine it is
considered possible that at least some

country, Madras, Rajputana and the
Punjab being the worst sufferers. There
is drouth in Bengal and the need Of
more rain is urgent. Bombay alone
promises good harvest.
''The American harvest will be good
in quality and amount, but with the
failure of the Indian and Russian sup
plies it is of the utmost Importance that
the English crop shall not be short.
The prospect on the whole is good. In
the chief wheat counties-Essex, Nor
folk and Suffolk-the crop is above the
average, and in other counties up to the
average. The harvest will be late and
prices will be high. There is, therefore,
a good outlook for the English farmer
to break the long series of disastrous
years."

The Big Electric Case Again.

New YORK, July 23.--The electrical
world was treated to-day to another
broad decision, whereby the Brush pat
ents for the manufacture and use OF
storage batteries in the United States
are made solely valid. The decision
was filed by Judge Coke in the United
States circuit court, in the case of the
Brush Electric Company against the
Electrical Accumulation Company, and
by its terms the storage battery patents
of Charles I. Brush are sustained.
This brings substantially to an end the
litigation which for the past five years
has waged between the julien Electric
Company and the Electrical Accumu-
lator Company for the control in this
country of the manufacture and sale of
storage batteries.
