Eggs, while remaining stationary, are only
IN fair demand, and lacking somewhat in
supply. The warmer weather having made Its
advent there is considerable caution in buy
ing, while the demand for consumption has
naturally fallen off,
New potatoes from the patches Of Missouri,
tennessee Kentucky and even Southern Lii
nois and Indiana are already In the market.
Z. z. Emerson, who returned few days ago
from portion of these Southern fields,
particularly Kansas and Missouri reports the
potato crop there as very promising.
Green vegetables are in fair demand, but
there is a disposition to wait until local prod
uce comes to market rather than 10 appro-
PIRATE much of that which has been shipped
IN over long distances. The consequence is
nat so free buying Of the green produce
sn,pped In from other states as in some sea-
sons hitherto
Watermelons are selling at Csc each, whole
sale; the quality Is good and the crop gives
indication of being very large.
In the line of fruit dealers pronounce every
thing very low, in fact abnormally so. There
is an abundance of fruit and an equally gos
demand with which the supply keeps pace.
The greatest trouble this year has en- tn =
rams which have fallen in growing sections
during the ripening period. This was especial
~ true of Strawberries from the Sauth, but
the offerings from our own tributary territory
nave shown much improvement and while the
supply has been quite large the, demand has
sustained prices. Raspberries, both black and
red, are now pushing their way to the 'front.'
and the quality is very superior The gen.
eral outlook for the fruit yield of 1898 is
regarded by leading deaers as one of rare
promise with the exception OF apples. Mr.
emerson in his trip through Miss uri and
Kansas realized that in those ,oealiti GER
tainly the apple crop would be compete
failue. California, too is likely to suffer some
what this year from failures in certain IL s.
while the great Northwes.er fruit growing
section. as for instance Oregon, Washingt n
ana Idaho, anticipate immense returns. The
general trade conditions in the produce and
1ru;t markets are pronounced by the leadn g
commission men as everything that could be
desired In the way Of activity, everybody hav-
ing about as much as he can attend to.

The prices are little stronger at the close

age, and orders are here from many points
to the east and south for shipments Tho
supply is not overwhelmingly large; in fact
there are those who believe that there is

DAMAGE TO CROPS.

The official crop reports do not seem to set
forth adequately either the damage now be-
ing done the growing small grains by ran
and rust nor the check on the young corn
from the prolonged wet. The growth of
straw has been rank that 1t needs only a
light wind or a hard rain to beat it down in

HORSES IN Iowa.

The decrease IL horses in Iowa in 1897, &C
cording to the report of the United States
agricultural department, was 65 $50 head,
making an average decrease Of $50 animals
for each Of the ninety-nine counties. The d.
crease in Iowa In 1896 was "a 664 horses, but
fortunately the revival Of the breeding indus
try will soon again place the Hawkeye state
in the front ranks Of horse raising districts.
But mere numbers will not add to the ma
terial prosperity Of the state. The quality
should be improved by using the very best
sres, regardless of few additional dollars
charged for service fees.-Drovers Journal

NEW CROP AND FALLING PRICES.

Just how far reaching are these early trans
actions in new crop deliveries remains to be
seen. Careful students fail to be convinced
that the legitimate situation warrants any
such permanent downturn, and look fer pos
rive recovery, although of course not to any,
thing like the abnormal level Of early May.
While the late June prospect suggests an
enormous yield Of winter and spring wheat,
and while the cereal Is already being har-
vested in the Southern edge of the be t, the
crop as a whole is by no means secure. There
are possibilities of disaster In var GUS dire
tons, particularly in the spring wheat terri
tory, between now and the comp'et Oh Of
harvest; hints of considerable damsge
through rust are not lacking, nor is the crop
invulnerable to possible attacks of later
drought, Insect pests, early frosts. Lower
prices have brought liberal export buying,

Orang-Outang.
From the London Post.
Some two years ago retired officer of the
merchant service, living in the Rue d'Alesia,
Paris, M. Duchesne, brought home an GU. an =
outang from Borneo. Since growing to its
full size the brute is terror to the neigh
bors It's master won't hear of its being

fessional call at M. Duchesne's apa tnents
with intent to burgle Now as this illustri-
GUS character had only bee three days at
large after completing his ninth term Of i'm
prisonment he was naturally unaware that
such pet as the ourang- outang was tolera ed
In these particular rooms. Consequently.
when the burglar was suddenly bounced upon
by two hairy paws, he was somewhat sur
prised. and his screams soon brought help.
with the result that M. Bargeve was drawn
out of the room by his feet, in very igno-
pinious fashion: He was taken to the In
Urinary, and it is reported that he has gone
mad and now imagines himself to have been
changed into an ape.

foster them through the feeding and fatten-
ing period, whereby something like profitable
returns might be derived from the industry.
In the Chicago market calves are being Of
fered in much more liberal numbers than
they should be, except that a great many of
these are being bought for feeders. With re-
spect to South St. Paul. however farmer
may as well know that everything in the
shape of calf that escapes the veal market
Is shipped out of the state. and Minnesota Is
consequently to that extent deprived of nni-

the state.

make up their shipments to the market from

number of woman's magazine
named for him and prepared in his
honor. The July Issue of zHe Ladie's
Home /0nrHalis is to be called "The

the President on horseback on the
cover, with the Presidents new "fylng
flag" flying over him; new march
by Victor Herbert is called "The

partment has allowed the magazine to
make a direct photograph of the
original parchment of the Declaration

combined to tell some twenty new

about him which will show him in a
manner not before done. The cover
will be printed in the National colors.
