The United States expends Sl5O,OCO,-

twice that amount of raw cotton. In
1894 the consumption Of pig iron was
about 100000 tons; this season it will be
about 100000 tons. The iron that cost
to 3 years ago about Sl2 in Pennsyl
vania and 50 in Alabama to manufacture,
now costs 50 and Sc respectively, and Is
sold nearly as high as in 1892. Since the
recent great advance or doubling of pri-
ces of nails and various kinds of iron, the
demand has slackened. New locomo

production Of coal in 1894 is estimated at
about 554,O00.0OO tons. The United
Kingdom yearly produces about the
same amount, and mines the most. The
United States stands second, and annu-

A MILLION BICYCLES.

The historian who will write the true
history Of the closing years of the nine
teenth century will be compelled to say
a great deal about the growth, influence,
and effects OF the bicycle habit during
that period.
The points which he will feel obliged
to cover are as numerous as they are in
teresting The bicvcle, as the legitimate
successor OF the velocipede of a quarter
of a century ago, was taken up as an APP
pliance for exercise and pleasure. These
it has furnished to an extent not antlci-
pated by its most enthusiastic devOtees.
In addition, it has passed beyond any
limits OF mere pleasure or exercise. 1t
has forced itself on the attention of the
great war powers of the earth. Itremains
to be seen what warlike purposes il may
serve; but it is safe to say that in the
next European war the first man of the
invading force in the enemy's country
will be mounted on wheel. 1t has con-
quered society. Aristocracy in England
and France, as well as in this country.
has recognized its worth. In adopting it
the idle and luxurious classes have rem
dered a service by enormously increasing
its popularity. The hundreds of thous-
ands who might have hesitated between
desire and dread in the uncertainty as to
whether it was the proper thing have had
their doubts cleared away. A custom
which has the sanction of the Faubourg
St. German, Of the British peeragge, of
the Michaux Club of Newport, and Of
the local Four Hundred in each one of
our great cities is as firmly established as
the Constitution with its subsequent
amendments.
In this country it is creating, as We
have said, social and economical condi
tons worthy of the attention of the his
torian. 1t may not be true, as Mrs. An
thony says, that woman is riding to
suffrage on the bicycle" but it is un-
doubtedly true that she is riding to
greater freedom. to a nearer equality
with man, to the habit of taking care of
herself, and to new views on the subject
of clothes philosophy. The woman on
the wheel is altogether a novelty, and is
essentially a product OF the last decade Of
the century.
In this country alone the sales of BIZ
cycles for this year are estimated at half
a million. The total number of BICYCLES
in use estimated at a million. These fig
ures are mere guesses, but there is moth
ing incredible or improbable about them.
1t is certain that we are only at the be-
ginning OF what is called the bicycle craze
and the indications are that the craze is
now getting ready, as is more likely. to

WHEAT INFORMATION.

It is nearly thirty years since Chicago
was selling and shipping wheat in Aug
ust to neighboring mills and markets
surrounded by wheat growers, such as
Detroit, Toledo and Cleveland. We
think crop conditions then were more or
less similar to those generally reported
this season Our population in 1865 WAS
but half what it is now. The crop then
equaled about 2SOOOO,OOO bushels, and
prices IN November following the Au-
gust quotations nearly doubled, and la
teron the following spring sold very high.
Contract grades generally selling from %
to 40 cents over low grades. Chicago
prices now rule lower than any neigh
boring primary markets. Chicago has a
large stock of choice contract wheat
which holders refuse to sell at less
than futures bring. Many country grain
buyers now make purchases only after the
grain from the thrashers has been cleaned.
Fifteen years ago North America fur
nished One-quarter the wheat imported
by consuming countries. Now we ex-
port but about one-sixth the world

wheat was grown north of the Equator,

nearly one-quarter her wants from the
Argentine OF south of the Equator, and
where the wheat is grown in about the
same latitude. IN 81 weeks, ending

DECLINE OF IMMIGRATION.


The volume of immigration to the
United States has been declining for
some years past. The figures for the ifs
cal year ending June 30, 1894, showed a
decrease of over $4,000 as compared
with those for the preceding year, and
the figures for the twelve months ending
June last show a still further decrease,
though one not at all in proportion to
that recorded for the preceding year, the
decrease amounting to a little over $4,000.
The figures given by the Bureau of Statis-
ties of the Treasury Department, it may
be remarked, comprise about 80 per cent.

reporting such arrivals, but do not in
clude immigration from British North
America and Mexico. The total for the
year ending June 80, 1894, was 3l1,6l2,
and that for the year ending June, 1895,
was 276, 1876. As might be expected, fig
ures for the most important countries
contributing immigration to the United
States showed decreases, though in few
instances comparisons disclose an aug
mentation Of numbers. OF the more i'm
portant countries, Germany, Italy, Russia
Except Poland). Austria excepting
Poland), and Sweden and Norway show
decreases. Increases are noted in the
immigration from Hungary, from Eng
land, and from Ireland. There is a
slight increase in the immigration from
France and in that from Denmark. The
most marked increase was in the immi
grafton from Ireland, which increased
during the year by over $4,000. Another
marked change in the course of immigra
ton is from Germany, which sent owe
$4,000 fewer immigration in the twelve
months ending June, 1895, than in the
preceding year-Frankfor Capital.

serum fer Consumption.

DIR. Paquin's great tuberculosis serum,
which has attracted the attention OF the
medical profession all over the world for
several months, is to be used here in
Yakima. This discovery has had more
startling effect than did anti-toxine, in
the cure Of diphtheria. The serum is
only just coming into use in America. 1t
has not yet reached the Sound, and DIR.
Hill therefore considers himself fortunate
in being permitted to obtain the use Of it
here in Yakima. He will use it upon
one or two developed cases here, and
hopes for much in its application.
The testimony Of many patients cured
by DIR. Paquin is remarkable. They say
that the fever disappeared, the night
swests ceased, when there was hemorr-
hage it stopped at once, the appetite re-
turned-snd, what is more remarkable
than all, there was rapid increase in
weight in every patient. The treatment
is the hypodermic injection Of few drops
Of the serum daily into the muscles of the
patients back.

II is time the state board OF horticul-
ture was giving some little attention to
the protection Of the fruit interests OF
Yakima county. There is a greater in
crease OF orchard acreage here than in
any other section of this state, and, while
this district has a member of the board
he resides in Ellensburg and has spent
but ons day in Yakima during the pres
ent year. On account of the lack of COM
peting railroads the con- mission mer-
chants Of Seattle and Tacoma ship to this
section oranges and lemons so infected
with San Jose scale as to be unmarked
able in the eastern part OF the state
where there ia competition from Portland.
AS result the scale is spreading very
rapidly, and is menace to the horticul-
tural interests of Yakima. During the
past week representative of THE HERALD
visited Yakima City and found that but
three orchards, those Of M. N. Adams, J..
III. Thomas and David Guilland, had
been properly sprayed. All OF the other
orchards had been neglected and scale
and aphis was prevalent everywhere
Those who had sprayed were discourag-
ed, for their neighbors were either unable
or bad neglected to take any precautions
against these blights, and their labor
was OF little benefit.
The board OF horticulture has an order
directing all dealers to cleanse and disin-
feet infected fruit, but apparently no
attention is paid to the order by the
commission merchants on the Sound, ss
scarcely any of the tropical fruits arriving
here are clean. The attention of Secre-
tary Tonneson and Gov. McGraw is called
to this matter, for unless something is done
and done quickly one of the main indus
tries Of Yakima county, Of value Of
hundreds OF thousands Of dollars, is in
jeopardy. If this district is to have but
one inspector or member of the board he
should be located in Yakima as this is a
typical fruit country and the area devot-
ed to orchard is many times in excess Of
that in Kittitas.

survey of Public Lnnds.

In the yearly appropriation by con-
gress for the survey Of the public lands, it
10 provided as follows: THAT in expend-
ing the appropriation preferences shall
be given in favor of surveying townships
occupied in whole or in part by actual
settlers, &C., &C."
In taking measures for the letting OF
the annual contracts it is therefore made
the duty OF this Office to ascertain the To-
calities in which there are bona fide set
tiers and to so expend the sum as to
benefit the greatest possible number Of
settlers. The only means this Office has
OF ascertsining this fact of the greatest
number Of settlers is through petitions
for surveys forwarded to this office, from
which we select the townships to be sur
veyed, taking, first, that township show
ing by its petitioners the greatest number
of actual bona fide settlers and so on
down. This is the only way selections
can be made without giving rise to sus-
picion OF favoritism. Settlers, therefore,
should bear in mind how important it is
to furnish this office with petitions signed
by each settler in the township.
The blanks for such will always gladly
be furnished by this office upon applica-
ton, or they can generally be gotten at
the stationers in some of the cities.

The Hop situation sized-Up.


Pope Anderson Il Co.'S. hop report for
June, after speaking Of the Oregon vines
being strong and healthy, we'll advanced,
and the crop prospects being above the
average, both in quality and quantity,
saws:
"The situation in other hop-growing
centers is hard to get at, but it is ascer-
tanned beyond doubt that the severe
frosts in the early part of May did meal
culable damage to the vines in New
York state. Our London correspondent
reports 1900 acres of hop plantations
abandoned in Kent alone, and it is fur
Their reported that. owing to the severe frost
last winter, large lot of missing hills
will curtail the production. The Yakima
district will probably yield 10000 bales.
From Puyallup, reports state that con-
slider able acreage has been plowed up.
and it is believed that the lien law Of
Washington will prevent many growers
from obtaining picking funds. On the
whole, we think Oregon holds the key to
the situation. Our hops are now 80 fav-
orably known, both at home and abroad,
that growers will have no difficulty in
selling their product. One thing, how
ever, is essential, namely, they must fight
the hop louise this year from the start,
and we learn that the first brood has al
ready swarmed in the yards that are To-
Gated under damp lees. 1t is more than
probable that our picking season will be
tive weeks earlier than last year and if
strict attention is paid to clean picking,

the genuine sponge cake variety and
the real shortcake, biscuit paste made
with baking powder and not raised.
These biscuit layers are then split and
the berries placed between and on top,
the whole being afterward covered with

tins, and each layer is surmounted with
whipped cream and well-sugared berries
laid closely together.
Strawberry Bavarian cream, strawberry
cream tarts and strawberry syllabub are
other pleasing variations of a dainty sort.
In making the second Of these, stew the
berries and mix with corn starch, adding
whipped cream when this mixture is put

Berry sauces for buildings are to be
