months he could not find any one who
would put shilling in the telephone.
An English review said of it; "The
telephone is little better than toy.
1t amuses the English, but is inferior

The victory was won at last by Kate

Victoria. The queen was delighted,
asked Bell if she might buy Two tele-
phones, and 1t was not long before all
England WAS interested. An exchange

The Potato Crop.

Northern Ohio and Michigan pota-

dency to go lower. Eastern stock
brings .as high as 81 bushel in a
small way, and the quality of these
potatoes isIabout as good as can be mad
at this time. On track, potatoes are
now quoted at 75c a bushel in sacks,
and receipts are more liberal than ex-
pected several weeks ago. 1t now
looks as,if the potato market wonld go
lower before the downward movement
eliminates. The late crop turned out
much better than expected a month
ago and the outlook now favors a good
yield in the principal producing see
tons of the country. Sweet potatoes
also show. signs of going lower although
prices are about the same as at the
close of last week. Reports from the
crop districts say that the yield will
be about the average, and the quality
promises to be better than was raised
In recent years. Onions, celery, cab

about the same as at the close of last
