1t is with much graduation that we
have placed on our books within the
last fortnight about two hundred
yearly subscribers. 1t has been our
effort of course to give our readers a
paper in touch with their sentiments,
adapted to their desires, and abreast
of the times, but this reward for our
efforts is beyond our most sanguins
expectation, and we return our thanks
to those we have shown their appre-
citation of the effort we have made, by
the substantial proof vouchsafed US.
1t is often charged that papers make
wide statements in such matters, and
that these can be taken with a good
deal of SALT but as to US this cannot be
said. Our subscription list is kept
open to the public that our advertisers
NAV know the value oiven them for
their patronage, and Q new name can
always be seen, and those already On
- here of course. Beside this the
post Office Weighs orr issue every week
and our postage account, and the record
by these officials willis 10 the cor
Yectness Of our statement. In addition
to this also our business is a cash one
and the list we show is OF those who
pay cash for their paper. We are very
grateful to the public for their conf
dence and will always try to merit it.

There has been such dissension

GRAIN TRADE AND CROPS.

The Cincinnati Price.Current of last
Thursday says
Too much rain has prevailed the past
week in large portions of the western
agricultural districts, and as result
there has been further retardation in
corn planting operations in many 10
calities, SO that this crop instead of
getting into more promising position
has in fact somewhat lowered the gen
eral average condition with reference
to favorableness of start. This does
not of course imply serious discourage
ment. but it adds to the extent of draw
backs with which the crop has to con-
tend In securing promising and assur-
ing position. Much of replanting is
being and will be done, where lack OF
warmth and excessive moisture have
interfered with termination.
In regard to wheat the comparative
ly cool temperature which has most of
the time prevailed has prevented in
jury from excessive moisture that 9th
erwise might have resulted. There is
apparently less than usual of adverse
conditions surrounding the crop, and
the outlook continues very dattering,
for both winter and spring grain. Re-
cent rains in the Northwest have been
very favorable to crop conditions. The
| winter wheat for the most part is not
likely to be ready for harvesting espe
cially early, under present indications.
The situation with regard to oats is
without essential change, and points
to fairly good but not brilliant result.
| Meadow lands are generally in fine
condition, and the outlook for a large
crop OF hay is very promising. Pasture
lands have been brought into very ia
vorable condition.
| There appears to be an encouraging
prospect for fruit in most regions, the
situation admitting of an abundant
production II no adverse conditions de
velop later on.
In the wheat trade the squeeze" in
the May delivery has advanced the
price largely during the week, this op
ton closing 35 cents higher than 8
week ago, but Is cents short Of the ex-
treme point previously reached. Fol
July the close is 7 cents higher than q
week ago, and it may be remarked that
there is evidently less confident view
that considerable quantities of new
crop contract grado will be available
for delivery in that month.
The corn market has lost strength tc
some extent, and at Chicago closes
somewhat lower than a week ago
There is. however. a fairly confident
feeling displayed by tie trade, and the
chances are regarded as much in favor
OF maintenance or improvement ir
values as for any essential decline. The
oats market weakened considerably
The flour market has become quieter
with ample offerings, generally fully
equal to or exceeding the current de
mand.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining Of the Eustach-
ian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed
you have runbiing sound or imperfect
hearing, ard when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the in
fiammati0n can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an Infamed condi-
ton OF the mucous surfaces.
