steamers  ‘  Elderslle  '  and  *  Ormuz  ’  discharged— the 
former  31,051  cases,  and  the  latter  497  cases  from 
Melbourne;  2,735  cases  from  Hobart  and  six  from 
Adelaide;  a  total  of  40,900  cases  of  apples. 
Jay-Eye-See  is  still  the  fastest  gelding,  his  2:10 
haying  stood  for  eight  years. 
It  Is  said  that  jockey  Garrison  earned  $5,000  by  10 
days’  successful  riding  recently. 
Only  seven  hogs  out  of  a  car-load  survived  the 
heat  in  a  shipment  to  the  Chicago  yards  the  other 
day. 
One  hundred  horses,  not  counting  yearlings,  are 
in  training  at  Senator  Stanford’s  Palo  Alto  farm, 
California. 
The  oat  crop  this  year,  as  Indicated  by  government 
estimates,  will  be  about  650,000,000  bushels,  against 
738,000,000  bushels  last  year. 
It  Is  stated  that  a  first-class  horse  trainer  In  Russia 
receives  $6,000  a  year.  The  highest  priced  trainer  in 
America,  Mr.  Marvin,  receives  $10,000  a  year. 
It  Is  reported  that  German  and  Austrian  sugar  pro¬ 
ducers  will  combine  against  the  American  Sugar 
Trust.  French  producers  will  probably  coSperate 
with  them. 
The  flour,  provisions,  etc.,  sent  by  the  people  of 
Iowa  to  the  Russian  famine  sufferers  per  the  British 
steamer  Tynehead,  when  discharged  at  Riga,  filled 
310  railroad  cars. 
A  cattle  disease  which  baffles  the  skill  of  veterin¬ 
arians  Is  reported  to  have  broken  out  in  northwestern 
Ohio.  The  animals  are  stricken  with  blindness  and 
stiff  joints  and  generally  live  but  a  day  or  two. 
It  is  reported  that  the  United  States  Department  of 
Agriculture  Is  about  to  send  to  India  for  a  species  of 
giant  bee  which  Is  Indigenous  to  that  country.  It  is 
said  to  be  the  largest  species  of  bee  known,  and  a 
great  producer  of  both  honey  and  wax. 
The  Chicago  hog  packers  who  recently  combined  as 
a  single  corporation  and  are  outside  the  “big  three” 
have  formed  a  company  with  a  capital  stock  of  a  half 
million  dollars  for  the  purpose  of  building,  leasing  and 
managing  refrigerator  cars.  This  new  line  of  inde¬ 
pendent  car  service  will  be  known  as  the  Provision 
Dealers’  Dispatch,  and  the  cars  may  be  soon  running 
on  many  railways  carrying  the  product  of  the  packers 
interested. 
A  largely  attended  convention  to  discuss  the  wool 
and  sheep  Interests  of  the  States  and  Territories  west 
of  the  Mississippi  River  opened  at  Albuquerque,  N.  M., 
on  July  5.  in  response  to  a  proclamation  issued  by 
Gov.  Prince  at  the  request  of  numerous  commercial 
organizations.  The  delegates  present  represented 
municipalities,  agricultural  colleges,  wool  growers 
associations,  boards  of  trade  and  other  commercial 
organizations. 
The  cattle  barons  of  northern  Wyoming  feel  very 
blue  over  the  outlook.  Since  the  defeat  of  the 
lynch  law  raids,  so-called  rustlers  have  had  things 
pretty  much  their  own  way.  The  losses  to  the  stock 
breeders  during  the  recent  illegal  round-up  amounts 
to  thousands  of  head.  The  rustlers  go  around  In 
gangs  of  from  five  to  twenty-five  and  carry  off  pretty 
much  what  they  please.  The  misappropriated  cattle 
are  driven  to  Montana  or  Dakota  and  there  sold  for 
about  $5  a  head.  There  is  no  way  of  putting  a  stop 
to  this,  as  the  juries  nave  been  found  to  favor  the 
rustlers,  and  there  Is  always  difficulty  in  making 
proof.  It  is  generally  admitted  that  the  present  dis¬ 
turbance  means  the  end  of  free  grass  In  Wyoming 
and  the  breaking  up  of  the  great  herds. 
Of  great  Interest  to  a  large  proportion  of  the  farm¬ 
ers  of  the  country  Is  the  fact  that  the  Stewart  free 
coinage  of  Silver  Bill  passed  the  United  States 
Senate  on  July  1,  by  a  vote  of  29  to  25.  Seven  Demo¬ 
crats  voted  with  the  Republicans  against  It,  and  11 
Republicans,  representatives  of  the  Western  silver 
States,  voted  with  the  Democrats  in  favor  of  it.  The 
House,  some  time  since,  passed  a  silver  bill  some¬ 
what  different  from  Stewart’s,  and  to  make  the  latter 
valid,  it  must  pass  this  now.  It  Is  doubtful  whether 
for  party  reasons,  that  body  will  do  so.  The  question 
hinges  on  whether  the  Democratic  members  think 
they  will  gain  more  In  the  West  and  South  by  voting 
for  it,  then  they  will  lose  in  the  East  by  giving  Pres¬ 
ident  Harrison  a  coveted  chance  to  veto  It  In  scath¬ 
ing  language. 
There  is  no  reason  why  an  exceptionally  large 
quantity  of  tomatoes,  canned  or  otherwise,  should 
not  be  exported  from  this  country  to  great  Britain 
during  the  coming  season.  For  some  years  many 
hundreds  of  tons  have  been  annually  exported  from 
the  Canary  Islands  to  Great  Britain,  but  we  now 
learn  that  for  several  months  the  tomato  plants  in 
the  islands  have  been  attacked  with  disease,  the  re¬ 
sult  being  that  the  produce  has  proved  in  many  in¬ 
stances  quite  unlit  for  transportation.  “Every  en¬ 
deavor,”  we  are  told,  “  has  been  made  to  localize  the 
mischief,  but  without  success,”  and  it  Is  reported 
that  crops  in  all  parts  of  the  Islands  are  seriously 
affected  and  that  growers  view  the  prospect  of  the 
approaching  season  with  considerable  apprehension.
