COrbett In Congress.
From the Chicago Tines-Herald.

1t is reported that James j. Corbett is
to run for Congress as the Tammany can
didate in a New York city district. MIR.
Ccrbett may not be a statesman, but his
iCng practice as an elocutionist well quail
fies him for congressional wrangling. We
have no doubt that he would prove effective
in the committee room.

BUSINESS IMPROVING.

New York, Aug 26.-Bradstreets to- morrow will say: Business conditions in the main reflect the continuance of most of the favorable features hitherto dominating the trade situation in the more favored sections of the country. Prominent in this direction, of course, are the iron and steel and allied indus tries, in which active demand, present or prospective, has led to further price advances, sustained and even increased activity in distribution at most west ern markets, with some improvement likewise noted at the south and on the Pacific coast, steadiness in prices wheat, corn and cotton, however, ex- cepted-a reduced number of business failures, fair gains in railroad earnings, as a whole, and bank clearings, in spite of slight reduction from last week. showing heavy gains over all correspon- ding periods in previous years.
 The less favorable clements in the sit uation are the reports of arrested or smaller than expected trade at western markets, more particularly in textile lines lowered quotations and apparent ly less active demand from abroad for our cereal products and reduced prices paid for the south's great staple, raw cotton. Qualifying the latter might be mentioned the fact that spring wheat has apparently begun to move in the northwest and that the promise of large yields alike in wheat and cotton has tended to depress quotations.

 Farmers Who Cross Oats or Wheat
 and Get Varieties Surpassing Either.
 There are, of course, endless varieties of cereals and grasses, but until recent ly no attempt has been made to inn prove them by crossing them artificial ly with each other. All have their special qualities Some ripen earlier than others Some have stronger straw, others have finer grain. Some grasses are perennial, but only last two or three years. The problem, then, is by union of different varieties to em- body the best features of each, and to produce new cereals and new grasses which will enable the farmer to put his soil to the best possible advantage. But this Is no easy matter. The forma- tion of a herd of shorthorns is not diffi- cult provided that the purse is deep enough Nor is there much trouble in making experiments in crossing the diff ferent breeds of cattle and sheep, and so setting up new varieties But with grasses and cereals it is entirely differ ent. To fertilize the pistils in the flower of wheat plant by the intro duction of pollen from another plant is an operation which requires infinite care. skill and patience. Not only must this be done, but the anthers containing the pollen in the flower to be operated upon must be removed without bursting them, and if one of these anthers should be burst, and the pollen it contains let out. the object of the operation would he defeated Then the resulting grain or seed must be carefully watched un- til it attains maturity, and it's descend ants have to be watched as well, and it may be years before grain may be found among it's progeny which is worth preserving. When we consider how minute some of these flowers are, and consequently how delicate must be the hand and eye of the operator, we may understand the difficulties in the way Of the experimenter.

the present and that powerful inter ests were prepared to re-enter on the long side were abundantly confirmed to-day. Prices were marked up sharp ly at the opening but there were suffi- cient selling orders placed with con- mission houses to reduce the gains in the grangers and put stop to the ad- vance. The enormous absorption of the Northern Pacific stocks, however, was unabated and the aggressive strength shown by Sugar also helped the early rise. The continued advance of Minnesota Iron and strength In some of the industrial specialties were also sustaining forces. There was evil dence of support in Manhattan. thus serving to remove uneasiness as to the unsettling effect of that stock. The large outside offerings to take profits served to materially decrease the buy ing movement, however, and a period of dullness and firmness intervened. It was terminated by the sudden moye- ment in Union Pacific, which rose early above 32 and was held there for the balance of the day. The preferred stock was also lifted to /67 and the movement extended to the grangers and southwestern railroads. The North ern Pacific stocks suffered from profit taking under cover of this diversion of speculation, but the advance in the general list was continuous and the market broadened so as to embrace a To JNa,. Nf
 The grangers were all advanced to near the high point on the present movement and St. Paul rose a sharp fraction above 1t. A late recovery in Peoples Gas after early depression carrying the price above 107 held the market in the final transactions in the face of some active profit taking and an advance in Denver preferred of nearly 2 points helped to the same end. The money market maintained it's firmer tone to-day, call loans ranging from 1A to 21a. Sterling exchange weaken- ed under the pressure of grain and cotton bills, giving assurance that prompt relief may be had for any money stringency. New York banks have been losing heavily to the sub treasury on bond operations during the week, but government deposits with the banks have been largely increased as the newly distributed 3 per cent, bonds have become available to the banks as security for government de- posits. Uneasiness regarding the de- clining surplus reserve has therefore been largely allayed. Profit taking was in evidence in some of the speculative bonds to-day, but the standard issues were mainly firm. Total sales $4,57O,- 000 Government bonds were unchang- ed in quotations.

LOOKING FOR HAROLD DE VERB.
 Sergeant Cook of the central police station received last night a telephone message from Far Rockaway, inquir- ing about one Harold De We're. It seems that De We're was married about four days ago and left on a wedding tour. His relatives yesterday received a telegram from him dated from New Haven and saying, q am hurt. Gra- cie will meet you at the depot" His sister came to New Haven from Brooklyn, N. r., and her relatives later in the day received from her dispatch saying, Harold is dead, and am on my way to Massachusetts"
 Nothing could be learned last night of an accident having happened to any one in New Haven by the name of De We're and the police could find no news of anyone of that name having died here.
