The  various  New  Orleans  cotton  presses  have 
agreed  upon  a  tariff  of  charges  which  most  of  them 
have  already  signed,  and  the  others  will  doubtless 
determine  to  uphold.  An  Increase  of  five  cents  per 
bale  Is  charged  on  account  of  the  concessions  re-

Caponizing  Fowls. 
The  recent  article  in  The  R.  N.-Y., 
anent  caponizing-,  has  awakened  an  un¬ 
usual  interest  among  our  readers ;  so 
great  that  we  have  made  arrangements 
whereby  we  can  furnish  Mr.  Dow’s  book, 
“Capons  and  Caponizing,”  to  any  of  our 
readers  at  50  cents  per  copy,  cloth-bound; 
or  25  cents  for  the  paper-bound  edition  ; 
The  utility  of  the  small  grape  baskets,  holding 
5,  8  and  10  pounds.  Is  becoming  more  and  more  recog¬ 
nized  and  used  every  year.  In  addition  to  grapes,  they 
are  now  largely  used  for  shipping  red  and  black  cur¬ 
rants,  huckleberries,  cherries,  etc.  They  are  cheap 
convenient  and  desirable  in  every  way. 
A  telegram  from  San  Jos6,  Cal.,  on  July  18.  says 
that  owing  to  the  shortness  of  the  fruit  crop,  espe¬ 
cially  apricots,  prices  have  gone  up  In  the  past  few 
days,  and  orchardlsts  who  held  their  fruit  are  netting 
good  figures.  Apricots,  which  were  selling  a  few 
days  ago  at  l'A  cent  per  pound,  or  $30  per  ton,  now 
bring  $00  per  ton;  prunes,  which  sold  for  $20  per  ton, 
now  bring  $50,  with  a  corresponding  increase  In  price 
for  other  varieties. 
Advices  dated  yesterday,  from  Utica,  N.  Y.,  the 
chief  dairy  produce  market  In  the  State,  say  the 
cheese  market  was  active.  Sales  at  IS'A  and  8%  cents; 
ruling  price,  cents;  ruling  price  a  year  ago,  8 
cents;  ruling  price  two  years  ago,  7M<  cents.  Butter 
Is  firmer.  Sales,  creamery,  20J4  to  22  cents;  bulk  at 
21J^;  at  Little  Falls,  creamery  at  20  cents,  and  farm 
dairy  at  18  to  19  cents;  at  Fulton,  20  cents;  at  Canton, 
22  cents.  All  these  places  are  In  the  neighborhood, 
In  the  center  of  the  New  York  dairy  region.  At  Elgin 
111.,  butter  was  active  on  July  20.  at  21  cents. 
The  Commercial  Dally  Bulletin  says:  “  The  New 
York  State  hop  growers  have  engaged  in  quite  a 
speculation.  They  are  trying  to ‘corner  ’  their  own 
goods,  and  engage  In  comparisons  of  crop  prospects 
that  suggest  nothing  if  not  a  remarkable  memory 
of  the  condition  of  the  vine  a  year  ago.  If  we  re¬ 
member  rightly,  there  was  a  great  hue  and  cry  about 
vermin  last  year.  There  are  no  such  walls  this  year. 
Still  the  growers  confess  that  they  are  In  a  bad 
plight,  and  the  trade  here  seem  to  place  only  a  11m 
Ited  amount  of  confidence  in  most  Interior  reports 
relative  to  the  damaged  crop.  Pacific  Coast  and 
European  advices  are  without  new  feature.”

The  average  weight  of  hogs  at  Chicago  last  month 
was  214  pounds;  Kansas  City,  196  pounds;  Omaha, 
230  pounds. 
Since  the  first  of  March  1, 1,750,000  hogs  were  packed 
at  Chicago,  against  1,500,000  for  the  corresponding 
period  one  year  ago.

The  aggregate  stock  of  wheat  in  country  elevators 
of  Minnesota  and  the  two  Dakotas  is  13,164,409  bush¬ 
els,  a  decrease  for  the  week  of  803,000.  A  year  ago  the 
stock  was  9,885,700  bushels. 
The  estimate  of  the  English  wheat  crop  by  the 
London  Times  makes  It  but  five  per  cent  under  last 
year’s,  or  a  higher  condition  than  most  of  the  com¬ 
mercial  papers  have  made. 
Strange  that,  while  the  Pinkerton  offices  have  been 
besieged  by  men  willing  and  anxious  to  risk  their 
lives  at  Homestead,  farmers  advertise  in  vain  for 
men  to  help  them  In  the  fields. 
The  Executive  Board  of  the  Aberdeen-Angus  Asso¬

In  a  few  weeks  the  annual  export  of  live  stock 
from  Montana  and  the  far  West  will  begin.  The 
shipments  will  be  large,  though  less  than  those  of 
last  year.  The  Northern  Pacific  estimates  that  there 
will  be  at  least  180,000  head  of  cattle  to  be  shipped 
east  from  Idaho,  Montana  and  Washington.  Last 
year  over  200.000  head  were  sent  out. 
The  raisin  raisers  of  California  are  seeking  to 
establish  an  agency  for  the  sale  of  their  products 
and  also  to  secure  lower  rates  of  transportation. 
The  crop  will  be  lighter  than  last  year's  and  tbe  com¬ 
mission  and  transportation  charges  as  heavy.  If  not 
heavier,  and  It  Is  absolutely  necessary  to  make  some 
arrangements  by  which  growers  can  get  a  living  price 
for  the  crop. 
Under  authority  conferred  bv  a  Senate  resolution 
directing  an  Investigation  by  the  Senate  Agricul¬ 
tural  Committee  Into  the  existence  and  cause  of  de¬ 
pression  In  agriculture,  Mr.  George  has  been  desig¬ 
nated  by  Chairman  Paddock  to  act  as  a  Sub-Corn-* 
mlttee  to  Investigate  the  cotton-growing  industry, 
and  Mr.  Casey  has  been  charged  with  the  Inquiry 
Into  the  other  branches  of  agriculture.  They  will 
report  to  the  full  Committee  at  the  next  session  of 
Congress. 
Texas  papers  say:  “  If  Mississippi,  Missouri,  Mas¬ 
sachusetts,  Louisiana  and  seven  other  States,  all  of 
whom  have  a  heavier  tax  rate  than  Texas,  support, 
with  the  national  aid,  two  agricultural  and  mechan¬ 
ical  colleges  each,  why  should  not  Texas  have  more 
than  one?”  That  Texas  should  have  two,  no  one  will 
object;  but  have  11  other  States  two  apiece?  In  the 
present  Texas  College,  however,  the  agricultural 
class  Is  reported  to  be  outnumbered  three  to  one  bv 
the  mechanical  class. 
A  letter  from  Jonesboro,  La.,  says,  “  thousands 
have  had  their  crops  cimpletely  ruined,  stock  drown¬ 
ed,  homes  washed  away  and  In  many  cases  lives  lost 
by  the  recent  heavy  floods.  There  are  hundreds  of 
families  on  the  Little  Tensas  and  Black  Rivers  who 
do  not  know  where  their  next  meal  is  coming  from, 
and  no  means  of  obtaining  it  until  after  the  water 
abates.”  Much  the  same  Is  true  of  manv  other  places 
in  the  flooded  districts  along  the  Mississippi  and  Its 
tributaries.  It  is  to  be  hoped  that  the  charity  which 
sent  food  to  famishing  Russians  will  not  allow  these 
Americans  to  starve. 
There  has  seldom  been  such  a  persistent  battle  In 
favor  of  any  measure  In  Congress  as  has  been  waged 
about  the  Anti-Option  bill  in  the  Senate  for  the  last 
two  weeks.  The  House  passed  it  by  a  tremendous 
majority.  Then  the  old-fogylte  stronghold  of  capi¬ 
talists  and  their  lawyers,  being  further  away  from 
the  people,  tried  to  squelch  It,  but  a  majority, 
frightened  by  letters  from  their  States,  refused  to 
put  themselves  on  record  against  it;  but  many  of 
them  have  tried  to  kilt  it  by  delaying  action  on  It 
till  after  the  end  of  the  session.  Probably  they  will 
succeed,  as  so  many  amendments  have  been  mude  to 
the  House  bill  that  an  agreement  between  the  neces¬ 
sary  “Conference  Committee”  of  each  House  Is 
hardly  probable,  even  If  a  vote  Is  taken  on  the  meas¬ 
ure  In  the  Senate.

Potatoes  are  low.  Long  Island  In  bulk  selling  at 
$1.50  and  $1.62  per  barrel,  while  others  sell  lower. 
Last  week  closed  out  the  red  raspberry  season.  It 
has  not  been  a  particularly  successful  one,  either  in 
the  matter  of  crop  or  prices. 
Telegraphic  reports  from  all  parts  of  Manitoba 
state  that  the  crops  are  in  magnificent  condition,  not 
a  single  drawback  being  reported. 
The  Georgia  peaches  continue  to  lend  the  market, 
and  they  are  averaging  high  this  season.  Those  who 
have  peach  orchards  In  that  State  are  this  year  doing 
well. 
Butter  Is  stiffening  up  a  little  in  price,  and  there 
are  at  present  no  Indications  of  a  break  In  the  mar¬ 
ket.  It  is  a  healthful  sign  when  the  price  creeps  up 
about  a  half  cent  per  pound  in  each  week.

seed  In  Chicago  aggregated  3,352,000  bushels,  against 
1,841,000  bushels  last  year.  Shipments  were  3,744,000 
bushels,  against  2.428.000  bushels  last  year. 
A  short  time  ago  the  authorities  of  Kansas  City  de¬ 
stroyed  $2,000,000  of  waterworks  bonds,  being  unsal¬

The  most  pretentious  of  all  the  Southern  "get-rich- 
quick’’  associations  with  big  Southern  and  Northern 
names  among  the  managers,  has  just  collapsed,  and 
15,000  stock-holders,  a  large  proportion  of  whom  are 
farmers,  are  left  to  mourn  the  loss  of  their  $1,500,000. 
One  of  the  largest  camellia  trees  In  Europe  Is  that 
which  Is  just  now  in  full  bloom  at  Pillnitz,  near 
Dresden,  and  forms  one  of  the  sights  of  the  district. 
It  was  Imported  from  Japan  about  150  years  ago,  Is 
about  17  yards  high,  and  has  an  annual  average  of 
40,000  blossoms. 
London  is  the  great  wool  market  of  the  world.  Last 
year  the  sales  there  amounted  to  1,433,000  bales,  or 
573,200,000  pounds.  At  Melbourne  117,000,000  pounds 
were  sold,  and  at  Boston  153,000,000  pounds.  Liver¬ 
pool  Is  also  a  great  wool  market,  the  sales  there  last 
year  having  exceeded  100,000,000  pounds. 
Texas  fever  In  a  virulent  form  has  broken  out 
among  the  herds  of  cattle  in  the  southern  part  of 
Lyons  County,  Kan.  The  disease  was  communicated 
by  a  herd  of  Texas  cattle  which  was  driven  through 
the  country  a  few  weeks  ago.  Over  150  cattle  have 
died  and  an  equal  number  are  affected  by  the  fever.

ought  to  know  that  a  melon  picked  green  never  be¬

At  a  conference  on  July  19,  between  tbe  New  York 
State  Board  of  World's  Fair  Managers  and  the  Ex¬ 
ecutive  Board  of  the  State  Agricultural  Society,  the 
latter  agreed  to  cooperate  in  the  collection  and 
exhibit  from  this  State  at  the  Columbian  Exposition, 
provided  the  State  Board  would  secure  the  necessary 
funds.  This  the  Board  agreed  to  do. 
There  will  be  no  tariff  legislation  during  this 
session  of  Congress.  All  the  House  Bills  from  the 
Committee  of  Ways  and  Means,  Including  the  Free 
Wool  BUI,  have  been  pigeon-holed  by  the  Senate 
Committee  on  Finance  and  will  not  be  beard  of  again. 
New  tariff  bills  will  doubtless  be  introduced  in  the 
new  Congress  after  the  Presidential  election.
