Current Weekly Comment.

Receipts, 3,19S barrels. The mar
ket continues dull aud the tone is rather
easier as a whole
PoULTRY.-Recepts, 1852 packages. The
| market has ruled quiet, but under more
| moderate receipts the tone is frmer for
some kinds.
| EGGs.-Receipts, "a barrels, 1878 cases.
The demand has ruled quiet during the
week, with liberal receipts, but trmer
| tone to the market at the close.
| OATs.-Receipts, Ill ,418 bushels; exports,
600 bushels. There has been steady tone
to the market during the week, with values
not materially changed at the close.
PoTAToEs.-Reoeipts 49, $3.50 bushels. With
| diminished receipts the tone Of the market
is better, particularly for Hebrons. Green
Mountains are quiet, with white stock rul-
ing low in price.
CHEEsE.-Receipts, 16,778 boxes. The
market maintains steady tone but the de-
mand continues quiet, and it is difficult to
advance prices until buyers are more
anxious for goods.
CoRN.-Receipts, n, 914 bushels; exports,
crate during the week, and it has not taken
much to meet buyers needs. Values are
generally we'll maintained.
BUTTER.-Receipts, 634,730 pounds; ex-
ports, 71,070 pounds. The market holds
firm for the choicsr grades of fresh-made
butter, aud such will sell at full prices, On
grades below the best, however, the demand
is poor and holders find it difficult to get
any fair bid
HAY AND STRAw.-Receipts, 497 cars hay,
rs cars straw. The market has shown
larger receipts of hay, but arrivals have
been mainly OF lower and medium grades
Strictly choice hay is not plenty. Grades
below the best are easy in prics and sell
slowly.
FLOUR. = Receipts, 23,911 barrels, 43.S4y
sacks. The demand continues dull and
prices are generally held about the same. 1t
is believed that the recent advance in prices
was due TO the speculative movement in
wheat, and that the latter cannot be held
at its present price.
Wool Sales for the week, 1859, 800
pounds. The market has been extremely
dull and the inquiry limited. Domestic
wool is neglected, and what little activity
there is shows itself in the department Of
foreign merino woods and especially in
Australian. Yet it is fact, as pointed out
by the Commercial Bulletin, that all wool
values are steady, wonderfully steady,
when the slackness of demand is considered.
LUMBER Some grades of Northern and
Eastern lumber remain strong, and the de-
mand and inquiry is fair for February.
This can not be said of spruce frames, as
heavy snowfalls in New Hampshire Yer
mont and Maine have altered the stu alton
of the car mills. They can now get out
logs readily. For this reason they are not
getting az much money for lumber as three
or four weeks ago. Busiu ss with them is
only moderate at best Capboards continue
strong, as they are not obtainable in any
considerable quantities. Shingles, while
less firm are likewise held in rather strong
hands. Lath are quiet. Trade in boards is
light. Hemlocks are the firmest of the va
rieties.

A Jolly Old Tar.

The captain of certain large sailing
vessel insists upon being addressed as
"Sir" by every one on board. One
day new hand joined the ship, and
short time after leaving harbor, being
well-seasoned old salt, he was intrusted
with the wheel. The captain came up
and put the usual question, " How's her
head?" Nor'-by-east," answered the
airy hitch in his trousers. "My man."
suavely answered the captain, ION this
craft, when one of the crew speaks to
me, he gives me title of respect.
Don't you think you might do so, too?
Now bowls her head?" "Nor'-b east,
I tell yer" shouted the tar, displaying
not little irritation. I'm afraid You
don't quite understand me-" responded
the captain good-humoredly. "Let me
relieve you at the wheel, and then do
you take my place and ask me the ques-
ton. l will then show you how it
should be answered" They accord
ingly changed places. COWS her
'ead?" roared the tar. Nor'-by-east,
sir" replied the captain, with gentle
emphasis on the " sir" "Then keep
her so, my man, whilst goes forrard
and has smoke" was the startling re-
joinder from the old reprobate, who
calmly commenced to suit the action TO
the word, and disappeared up by the
forecastle, lighting match as he went.

turning under any crop, but if 1 were to
fertilize in that way, would use some
kind of clover, but not the crimson, for
the reason that we are too far north
to have that sure crop. We have
tried crimson clover and find that the
soil must be in high state of Gull
tivation to obtain much of a growth.
If I could not afford to buy fertilizer
for the fifteen acres, would buy for
five or three or two acres, or whatever
l could afford, and work that much for
all it was worth. would try and get a
profit on what did work, and use it to
fertilize the remainder. Five acres,
well titled, believe can be made more
profitable than fifteen poorly done. The
cost of blowing ten acres twice in
twelve months would fertilize five
acres sufficiently for large profit on
the crop.

Undertaking with Tile.

Editor of Watchman:-I see by re-
cent issue of the WATCHMAN that SOM
one has remembered a note of mine,
published in this department two or
three years ago, describing what then
appeared to be an unsuccessful attempt
at tile draining. 1 desire to say that
since that note was written the work
has proved to be entirely satisfactory.
After further investigation of the mat.
ter of undertaking with tile, learned
that some time is required for the water
to cut courses through the hard pan,
and, in some sense, to find its way to
the tile. That appeared TO be the case
with the work in question. judge
that many an apparent failure turns out
to be success. A. N. BLISS.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH
A Sheepherder's Desperate Encoun-
ter With a Grizzly Bear.

BAKERSFIELD, June "A report
comes from a remote sheep camp in
the Cuyamacas over sixty miles south
west of here, that a Frenchman en-
ployed as a herder by one Richieux had
an encounter with a grizzly the other
night, in which he narrowly escaped
with his life. AS it was, he was badly
injured.
1t appears that the herder was asleep,
but was aroused by some commotion
among the sheep, and at once went to
see the cause, thinking it was q lion or
coyote, but having no suspicion that a
bear was around. He was amazed,
however, when he reached the corral to
female bear, which was standing on its
hind legs, and was accompanied by a
couple Of cubs. Before he could real
ize what it was that confronted him
in the dim light the bear literally
threw itself on the unfortunate man,
pinning him to the ground, and then
began chewing him up. His shrieks
brought his dogs to the scene, however,
and they at once attacked the bear
with the utmost courage. This caused
the brute to turn it's attention from the
man, who had just life enough to crawl
away and get to his camp. His COM
panions dressed his wounds, and then
sent to town for another herder to take
his place. They did not give the name
OF the injured man, but expressed the
belief that he would recover, though
painfully injured

CONVICT WHEELER.
The Supposed Escape Found Hidden
Within the Prison Walls.

SAN QUENTIN, June 4.-Frank
Wheeler. alias ''Ohio Fatty" the con-
vict who was supposed to have escaped
from the State Prison, has been found.
AT 4 O'Clock this morning he was dis
covered issuing from a carder in dis
use in the julte MILL and it appears
that he never was outside the prison
walls.
Last Tuesday at about 3 O'Clock
Wheeleris disappearance was noticed.
and at once it was supposed that he
had escaped the vigilance of the guards
and climbed over the prison walls.
Warden Hale, however. was of the
opinion that the convict had merely
hidden himself somewhere within the
confines Of the prison, and a close
search was made for the absentee.
But every effort to locate his where
abou'ts proved futile and the search
was abandoned.

Emperor Williams New Cutter.

LONDON, June 1.-The new cutter
Meteor, built for Emperor William of
Germany by ID. and w. Henderson.
after designs by G. l.. Watson, proved
herself fast craft in the regetta to-
cay of the Royal London Yacht Club.
the first race in which she has taken
part. OF the other big cutters in the
race the Britannia, owned by the
Prince of Wales, was the only one that
at any time had the slightest chance of
holding her own against the former
boat, and this chance faded into moth
ingness when the Meteor began TO
reach for home.
Judging from to-day's performance
Of the Meteor, it is believed that she is
the most speedy big cutter in a light
wind that has ever beer constructed in
Great Britain, and some yachting ex-
perts say that in a blow she will prove
herself a dangerous rival of any rae
ing craft afi0at
