The prices Of wheat are CHICAGO

1t will be seen how closely the ratio
Of value has been maintained during
all these years between cotton and
wheat on the one hand and silver on
the other hand. Special and temporary
causes have affected the prices of wheat

here or elsewhere. This is illustrated
by the present sharp ad ance In cot.

crop thus year. But when the special
conditions a to exist the prices
again fail under the general rule, and
again travel arm in arm with silver. If
any difference, 1t has generally been in
favor OF silver, SO that while IL may be

Maine Central.

The morning train from Bartlett to
Portland in the past summers has been
apt to be delayed owing to heavy travel
over the western branches of the Mon
treal division. To obviate this annoy
ance it has been decided that when train
ISL on the Mountain division, which is
due to reach Portland at S.25 a. M, is so
late that it cannot reach Portland in
time to connect with the $50 a. m. train
for Lewiston and Pennington, with the
$40 a. m. train for Boston over the West
ern division, and with the S.45 a. m. linn
tied express for Boston over the Eastern
division, a special train will be run from
Bartlett to Portland, stopping at every
station, and reaching Portland promptly
at 8.25 a. m.
One of the fastest runs ever made on
the Maine Central railroad was made
last Thursday night, when desperate
effort was made to take DR.. Bailey of
Portland, the state veterinarian, from
Bangor to Hallowell to save the life of
the great stallionl Arrival at the PineTree
stock farm. The train consisted of an
engine and one car and made the run Of
70 2-5 miles in Sc minutes. This includ-
ed stops at Augusta and Waterville, with
Stacking lspeed at various bridges.

The Mackerel Season.

The season of mackerel fishing on the
Cape shore has about come to close.
and nearly all the Portland vessels have
returned. The Lizzie Maud is high line
of the Portland fleet, having stocked
$4,000. About 1900 barrels have been
landed here by the following Portland
vessels: Lizzie Maud, Emma, Miantono-
nah, Henry Morganthau, Henrietta
Francis. Lila B. Fernald, Nathan Cleaves
Maud Wetherell, Ellen Lincoln, j. s..
Glover, Wide Awake, Ethel and Addie,
John M. Plummer, G. W. Pierce, Laura
Bell.
Last year the Portland fleet got about
thousand or eleven hundred bar
;rels on the Cape shore. The Gloucester
feet has taken about $4,000 barrels
against 5000 last year. The work of the
Portland vessels is considered satisfac-
tory, and compares favorably with years
past.
The fishing on this coast will now be-
gin. Some of the fishermen think the
prospects are good.

major" Has Retired.

''Major,'' the large good natured coach
dog, the property of Engineer French OF
Casco Five, is no longer seen about the
engine house. When the U. S. S. Balti-
more was here sometime ago there was
a fire at the end Of one of the wharves,
and Major was run over by the hose car
riage. Since then he has been great
sufferer, and now what with his stiffness
and his fat he stays at home. He has
attended over six hundred bell alarms
without counting the stills. For years
he was always ahead of the hose car
riage as soon as the alarm sounded and
few horses could make the pace with
him to fire. Major ought to have a
pension in his retirement. He is over
eleven years of age.
