DEMAND FOR HOG PRODUCTS.
Increasing Rapidly in European Countries
--Desire for More Inspectors.

Increasing Rapidly in European Countries
desire for More Inspectors.
Secretary Rusk, OF the agricultural de-
partment, says that since the embargo
against American hog products has been
raised by France and Germany there has
never been a single complaint from those
countries as to the quality or condition OF
the shipments, of which there have been
many. The secretary also said that the
demand for hog products is increasing
RAPIDLY. Even at this stage the demand Is
SO great that there is not single dealer In
them in this country who has not received
orders from both France and Germany.
This information the secretary gets from
the letters the dealers have written to him.
Those dealers urge him to increase the
number of places where inspections are had
and to add to his force Of inspectors. This
he is unable TO do because of lack OF
funds. He is doing all that he can do with
the appropriation at his command. He will,
however, recommend to congress that a
sum sufficient to cover the expenses OF
prompt inspection OF hog products destined
for foreign market be made. AS the
case now stands the inspection will have to
be confined to Omaha, Chicago, Milwaukee,
Kansas City and Boston.

TIE FATHER OF WATERS
THE MISSISSIPPI AT VERY LOW
WATER MARK.

The Lowest Stage Ever Known Has Been
Reached on the Upper mississippi and
Not IL Single steamer Is Now Running
Above st. Louis.
Al, last. after four years Of urbroken
drought, the Mississippi river has reached
low water mark. 1t is genuine low water
due to the absolute lack OF moisture 1t
has been twenty seven years since the Mis-
sissippi has been as low as II is now. In
1864 there was drought OF almost unheard
of severity, and in the summer the river
threatened to go dry. The present fall OF
the gauge is due to the fact that all over
the upper Mississippi country for several
wears past there has been a lack OF rainfall
and snow The water that has fallen has
sufflced to keep vegetation green and grow
good crops but it has furnished no surplus
to feed the streams. For six weeks the
river business north OF st. Louis has been
suspended to all practical intents and pur-
noses The Diamond 10 line steamers. the
only boats on the upper Mississippi this
summer that have done packet business
have been forced to the bank. They might
have struggled on for some time longer put
for one bar across the channel at Louis
lana Mo. On it there were only twenty
eight inches of water A 5-year-old might
have waded the Mississippi there. Being
shut out of St. Louis by this bar, the boats
had nothing else to run for.

THE SOUTHERN SUMMARY,

WEATHER PROPHET FOSTER. of ST.
Joseph, Mo-, makes the following pre-
dictions. A remarkable period of storms
will occur during the first half of Octo-
Der, that will be surpassed only by those
that will occur in March, 1892. There
will be three storm waves during this
storm period, which will cross the con-
tinent from east to west, along the usual
storm center routes. The first of these
storm waves will be most severe in the
Mississippi valley and the last one on
the Atlantic coast. The first will be
due to leave the Pacific coast about
September 30, cross the Rocky-Allc-
gheny valleys from October to 3. and
reach the Atlantic coast about the 4th.
Accompanying this storm wave may be
expected tornadoes, clOudbursts, hail
and severe gales, and. within one or
two days following it, killing frosts will
visit most localities of latitude thirty
six, with strong probability of frosts
much further south. Hurricanes will
develop much force on the north Attain
tic at this time, probably not far east of
the West Indies. These hurricanes will
become very fierce along the Atlantic
coast from October l to 10.
NEWS of terrible waterspout, which
occurred near Elizabeth. Ark, has been
received. During the thunder storm a
terrible roaring was heard, accompa-
MED by heavy pcals of thunder, and in
an instant the whole face of the earth
was covered to depth of several inches
by water. Cotton and corn crops were
greatly damaged and at Harris mill the
furnace and saw frame were washed
away.
IT is thought the troubles among the
negroes in Arkansas has been stopped
by the hanging of batch of colored
cotton pickers at the hands of mob of
whites.
