Among the killed 'in. the recent wreck 

 of the British steamer .train at Salis- 

 buryv Boglanci,- was Louis Gooppinger. 

 Mr'Goeppinger was on his way home 

 fi-om one of his frequent visits to this 

 luuntry, and was among those wlio 

 to()l< this ill fated train. His many, 

 friends in this country will regret his*: 

 tragic death. 



Tht (ears expressed in these columns 

 some weeks ago that -the pea > crop 

 would he a short one, have been veri- 

 fied It is now estimated that the crop 

 in Michigan will not be above 50 'to 60 

 iwr cent., while Canada and Wisconsin 

 will do slightly better. The. shortage 

 ill the large-podded varieties will no 

 doubt fall below the above estimates. 

 A shortage in the dwarf-wrinkled 

 sorts may not prove an unmixed evil, 

 as considerable quantities ,, of ,,theni; 

 were carried over, and m.oreqyer, sajps 

 have fallen off to a niarlved'ex.tent,i^urf|, 

 ing the past two or three years.,,, ,,||jjj 



It is yet too early to give a reliable, 

 forecast of the bean crop, but a largei 

 shortage in most of the green pod. 

 varieties will be fortunate for both 

 .s;ro\vers and dealers. A heavy crop 

 would surely demoralize prices. The 

 situation as to wax pods is easier, but 

 a moderate shortage even in these 

 would be welcome. So far as can be^ 

 ascertained at this time, green beans,. 

 Ijoth wax and green pods, have sold! 

 readily and at fair, prices, and no ,doubti
