About six months ago my little son, aged
three, was very much troubled with a breaking
out on his scalp and behind his ear. The places
effected were about as large as silver dollar,
the flesh seemed raw and covered with little
blisters. The child suffered considerably, and
was naturally very fretful. Itried several reme-
dies without obtaining any beneficial results,
in fact Interruptions seemed to be spreading
and new places breaking out. I concluded
to try the CUTICURA REMEDIES, and bought
box of CUTIcURA, cake of CUTICURA SOAP,
anda bottle of CUTICURA REsoLvENT. Iwashed
the effected parts with the CUTICURA SOAP,
taking care not to irritate the flesh, and applied
CUTICURA. noticed change for the betterin
the appearance of the eruptiOns in twenty-four
hours. continued the treatment morning and
night, and in two weeks the eruptions entirely
disappeared, leaving the skin smooth and the
scalp clean, in fact perfect cure, as have not
seen any indications Of any eruption or breaking
out since. gave the child only few doses Of
the CUTIcURA REsoLvENr. consider your
CuI1sURA REMEDIES very valuable, and expect
believe CUTIcgRA would be excellent for apply

The May crop report OF the depart
ment of agriculture records a sharp re-
duction in the spring wheat area of the
United States. Most of this abandoned
ground will be planted to corn, and
some of it will be put in flax and rye.
A large increase is reported of the area
planted to potatoes In Russia also
there is sharp decrease IN the wheat
acreage, In some localities the decrease
is reported at 30 to 40 per cent, due to
low prices, lack of capital and the rela-
tive DEAFNESS Of labor. In the two great
grain exporting countries of the United
States and Russia the condition of tie
wheat crop is also below average. In
May the average condition in this coun-
try was 8l,4 as against S6,7 in April,
while in Russia the Danubian provinces
were suffering from rain, and elsewhere
there was damage from FROST The gen.
eral indication, however, Is that Russia
will have fair crops, though greatly
diminished wheat harvest. Against
these indications of higher prices for
wheat must be reckoned the splendid
crop prospects of the rest of Europe,
the opening up of Asia Minor, and the
steady increase of production in South
America. This much, however, can be
taken for granted that the wheat crop
of 1894 will not be excessive, the pros
pect being for decreased harvest. AS
to prices next autumn, great deal de-
ponds on the general condition of bust
ness and industry. If good times should
spring up again, the consumption of
wheat would increase and a growing de-
mand would enhance prices,-Reyiew.

The Business Situation.

Blu mess conditions during the last
week have not changed in any import
ant respect, and trade IN most depart
ments has continued quiet The weather
has been unfavorable for the usual sea-
sonable progress in many lines of trade,
and drought and low temperature in the
West have caused uneasiness with re-
gard to growing crops. A broadening
of speculative interest and Il sharp ad-
vance in prices of grain haye resulted
from the circulation of less favorable
crop reports. There have been further
large exports of gold, and the treasury
gold fund has fallen below S70,OO0,OOO
but the outflow has occasioned little APP
prehension, Measured by bank clear
ings the volume of business outside oil
New York is about fifth less than last
wear, and railroad earnings, 80 far as
they have been reported for May, indi
cate a decrease OF about % per cent

ada aggregated 25G, against $40 last

cotton goods has been limited to the
supply of immediate trade wants; ana
while there have been no quotable price
changes, the general condition OF the
market has favored BUYERS. The wool
trade has continued dull, and prices have
been weak and unsettled, owing to In
creasing supplies of new clip and the
hesitanoy of buyers to stock up on the
eve of the remission OF duties and 10 the
absence of a satisfactory demand for
manufactured goods
There has been a general advance IN
grain prices. Cool weather and def
cheney of moisture in the West have re-
tarded the growth of corn, and have in
C. eased apprehension of injury to wheat
and oats. The influence of drought has
been seriously felt in regions west OF the
Mississippi river. The unfaVorable crop
reports have stimulated an active de-
mand to cover outstanding contracts,
particul arly in wheat, the low price of
which has for some time caused it to be
regarded with distrust by the wind sell
ers. There has also been considerable
increase in the investment demand for
wheat, and the light stocks of corn and
oats at commercial centars have encour-
aged bullieh manipulation of the mar
kets for these cereals. Foreign prices
have responded to the upward trend of
values on this eide of the ocean; and
while there uas been no activity in the
export trade, European buyers have
shown a little more interest in wheat,
ond have made fair purchases of small
steamer parcels of corn, Compared with
figures current a week ago prices have
advanced to 81 cents per bushel on
wheat, 10 to 20 cen per. barrel an flour,
81 to % cents per bushel on corn, and 6
to cents per bushel on oats. The rise
in grain prices has Offset the effect upon
values of provisions of an exceptionally
heavy movement of h Igs to western
packing centers; and quotations in the
Chicago market have been fully main
tanned. There has been a fair home
trade distribution of provisions, and the
export movement has co Iinued to ex-
coed that OF the corresponding period
last year.-Pbiladelphla Record

Eighteenth street, near the massacre
group where Calumet avenue makes n

was trying In vain to get the wheel
and herself 1T the proper equipoise.
but one or the other was constantly 1t
fault, for every time the member tried
to mount the wheel tried to get out of
her way and succeeded. There was >
Hiberniaa gardener near by, and the
friend Of the member Of the Hash club
suggested that they call the gardener
to assist in the transaction. This was
done. The good-natured fellow had
doubtless seen many whecls-probably
had one of his own once . week-but
he had never been called to study one
or give instructions about it. He made
several attempts, however. and each
time the wheel fell over, tearing the
member entangled in her skirts. The

Abuse II sheep Washing.

It is time now that humanity should
lift its voice in thunder tones against
the barbarous practice of washing
sheep, for it is certainly cruel to drive
sheep several miles on hot day
and plunge them into q stream and
then return carrying q heavy load of
wet wool on their backs. The proper
value of wool can as well be determined
without the so-called wash. and it
would seem even more easy to give =
proper estimate of the value. for the
writer has seen wool in = worse condi-
ton after the ablution than before
If the practice was abandoned sheep
could be shorn as soon rs the weather
would permit and do away with the
