MOTT-LY GLEANINGS. 



Wood, Stubbs & Co., of Louisville, 

 Ky., report the supply of and demand 

 for Kentucky blue grass fully equal to 

 last year's. The uncertainty of the fu- 

 ture business was illustrated in a mam- 

 moth Kentucky field pumpkin. The 

 pumpkin was known to weigh the 

 amount recorded, but this was no guide 

 to the number of seeds contained inside.
