New York Produce Exchange.

New YORK, August 1.-THE trading
to-day In all the small grains at the pro-
duce exchange was attended by great
excitement. The movements OF prices
were rapid and fluctuations were wild
and violent. In wheat gain OF 80
cents was made, the advance being
based on reports from Germany that
the price of rye had risen above the
price of wheat. The bears in wheat
showed great anxiety, and 1t was on
frantic efforts to cover that most OF ad-
vance occurred. There was sharp
advance in rye, on the reports from
Germany OF meetings OF the local
boards TO discuss the ukase recently
issued by the Russian government pro-
hibiting exports OF rye from Russia,
and 1876, 900 bushels were sold at sl.04
and s1.O5 per bushel. The imports OF
Russian rye from Russia last year
amounted to 100000 900 bushels, and 1t
IS believed that heavy shipments OF
wheat will be necessary to I'll the de-
mand caused by the withdrawal Of this
supply.

THE STATE OF TRADE.
Russian Prohibition Of Rye Exports Upset
Grain Markets-Wheat Boyant

NEW YORK, August 14.-R. g.. Dun
& Co.'s weekly review of trade: The
prohibition OF exports of rye by Russia
because Of official declaration that fam
inc Is impending has suddenly affected
the grain markets OF the whole world.
Russia usually exports about fifty mil
lion bushels OF rye, and many reason
that other grain in large quantities will
be reduced.
Wheat rose So cents on moderate
sales, and heavy operator in Chicago
went down. Corn rose 6 Il and oats 21s
cents. Crop prospects grow brighter
every day, and with assurance that the
country will not only have enormous
supplies of grain, but market for good
prices business is improving through
out the North. The movement begins
close to the farms, country merchants
are buying more freely, and their pur-
chases are felt by wholesalers and man
ufacturers.
Trade in Boston shows improvement
In wool sales reaching 3,752, 900 pounds.
At Philadelphia there is general i'm
provement, particularly in wool and
wooden goods, paints and tobacco. AT
Cleveland trade shows some improve
ment, though iron is demoralized.
Improvement in iron is felt at Phiia-
delphia as to the better grades, but No.
. foundry has been offered here at Sl5
for cash, and southern gray forge is
selling at 1918. Bar iron is dull, but
the demand equals the supply in plate
and structural iron, and the prospects
are considered good. In rails nothing
is doing, and sales in July for the whole
country were but $4,000 tons against
equal shipments of 130, 900 tons.
Stocks have been dull and tended
downward, but oil has advanced 104
cents for the week. Exports of wheat
for the week have been three times last
years, and western receipts average
about a million bushels daily. Tin has
declined here to $3.50. Lake copper
sales reported at S11.95. The advance
In prices during the past week has av'
eraged nearly per cent. for all com
modities.
The money market here continue:
easy on call, and commercial paper Il
rather more saleabe here than in Other
eastern cities, but there is still a vague
sense of uneasiness.
The business failures occurring
throughout the country during the las
seven days number 227, with total o.
231 last week, and 1877 same week las
year.

COLUMBUS, o., August 14.-Miller
Purvis, formerly State lecturer for the

Ohio, speaking tonight OF the Third

Il am Republican, as were all my an

a meeting of Silesian millers to-day 1t
was decided to send telegram to Cham
cellor Won Caprivi begging him to abol-
ish the corn duties, saying that other
wise the Russian ukase was likely to
ruin the mill industry and throw out OF
employment thousands OF hands.
The Vissiche Zeit,ng demanes tenn

urge, tho abolition Of the prohibition of
American foods and reduction of
freight rates. So far the Chancellor
seems to be unmoved and the ministry

that the Russian railway administration
refuses to give carriages for the trans
portation of corn to the German from

ST. PETERSBURG, August 1.-THE

The nude body of boy baby was
found floating last evening between
RATS of timber in the Little Kanawha
River near the bank of the South Par
kerSburG side of the river. The child
was perfectly nude when found and had
been several days in the water. 1t is
believed to have been the body of a
child which had been born
alive and thrown into the river
In order to dispose Of it and to conceal
the misfortune of someone. A party
who left that side of the river a few
days ago and disappeared, is suspected
with having been the mother Of the
child.
The officers have clues as to the
whereabouts Of the mother of the babe
found in the Little Kanawha last even
ing, and believe they will be able to
ferret out the guilty party. No inquest
has been held, and none will until evil
dence Of crime has been unearthed.
On Tuesday afternoon woman was
seen walking up and down the road
near the spot where the child was
found, moaning and crying. Another
woman was also seen to join the first,
when they went off together.

The Irish Ether Drinkers.
+ From the London Times.


The Committee on British and For
eign Spirits dealt with the question
of ether drinking in Ireland few days
ago. Mr.. Carter, the Protestant rec
tor of Cookstown, was the first wit
ness.
He stated that the practice Of ether
drinking had prevailed in his district
which comprised an area of nearly
forty square miles, for about thirty
years. The people preferred ether to
whisky, because it was cheaper and
more effective. They first of all took
a small quantity of water, then mod
icum of ether, holding their noses
while they drank it, and then they
drank water afterward. They did not
take it by inhalation, but by actual
drinking. An ordinary dose was about
two pennyworth, which would be near
ly half glass, and intoxication would
be produced by that almost Immediate
ly. 1t aroused combative instincts, and
also produced a high state of exhilara-
ton accompanied by shouting and
singing and the use Of provocative
words. A great many people would
come to market and make themselves
drunk the whole day for six days.
They would take a dose of ether at
10 o'clock, another at l o'clock, and
another perhaps at o'clock, two pen
nyworth each time, and that would
keep them in a state of intoXication
the whole day. Beggar women car
ried about ether in their pockets, and
exchanged it with the country people
for eggs. The children were so much
accustomed to it that they were not
repelled by its unpleasant tas+e. They
frequently came to school smelling of
ether, and it was found that they got
it in the way described. In his dis
trict ether drinking was not rarity,
but common practice, and 1t was on
the increase It is not true to say that
ether drinking prevailed most among
Roman Catholics.

What the Alliance Woman Says.

Mrs Mary Lease of Kansas, the lady
who has made a national reputation for
herself in her support Of the Farmers
Alliance. addressed an audience Of
good size at Music Hall yesterday after
noon. Here is a representative bunch
of some of her sayings.
II defy any Republican or Democrat
to give a reason why he is q Democrat
or Republican except that his daddy
was one"
"The men who hovered near the
Canadian line and never smelled war
in al, their cowardly lives are the men
who have kept the North and South
apart"
(which is the worst, the black slav-
cry of the past or the white slavery OF
the present."
"The West and South are two peas
in the same pod"
Republicans always say that Demo
Gratis are corrupt, and should have DO
place on the face Of the earth. Demo
Gratis say the same of the Republicans.
We will satisfy both of them by taking
charge ourselves"
"The difference between the two
dominant parties is that one is in and
the other wants to get in"
1--WE asked for the earth in Kansas,
and we nearly got it."
"The Alliance plough is strong
enough to turn furrow and hide both
of the old parties from the light of the
day"

From the London Court Journal.
\ Photographic novelty is now on
view at the Literary and Philosophic
Club, Berkeley square, and it will
doubtless bc inspected with much in
spected with much interest Just at the
present time, when no little stir has
been caused in Photographic circles
respecting the discovery Of photogra-
phv in natural colors. 1t is colored
Photographic print said to have been
taken directly from negatives, the pro-
cess adopted having been successfully
carried out by Mr. +. Bligh Bond, ar
chitcct, who is also the honorable sec
r"t:;rv of the Bristol and West Of En-
gland Amateur Photographic Associa-
! ton.
The photograph is Of cabinet size,
and is i view of Lands End. 1t is a
chlomo-collotype, and is printed in
blue carmine, and yellow, from set Of
three negatives. AS intimated, the
print is produced directly from neg
ati~cs, which it is claimed have un-
dergore no retouching or manipula-
ton beyond the chemical develop
ment. The principle involved is the
selection OF the coIors Of nature in the
negative and their reconciliation in
the print which is said to be perma-
nent. The photograph, which is dated
August, 1890, is certainly charming
little picture. The coloring of the
rocks and the sea is especially re-
markahle for its naturalness and beau
IT,, while the blending and shading Of
the tints are characterized by the ut
most delicacy. The print cannot fail
To excite the admiration of all amateur
pho,ogra aphers.
