Is likely to be advocated. Over 150 members 
were present. 
A special train of 26 cars, all loaded with 
raisins, left Fresno, Cal., on Wednesday 
evening for New York via New Orleans. 
This makes 250 car loads of raisins shipped 
East so far this season. The weather for 
the past two weeks has been the very best 
possible for curing raisin grapes, thus mak¬ 
ing the second crop large and of better 
quality than last season’s. 
A Chrysanthemum Show under the aus¬ 
pices of the New York Florists’ Club will 
be held in Madison Square Garden, Novem¬ 
ber 2 to 8 inclusive. Premiums aggregat¬ 
ing $6,500 are offered. The exhibition is not 
limited to chrysanthemums but includes a 
large variety of plants and flowers, conser¬ 
vatories, greenhouses, heating and ventil¬ 
ating apparatus, etc. There will be special 
attractions for each day. J. W. Morrissey, 
Secretary. 
Dr. Frank S. Billings, investigator of in¬ 
fectious animal diseases for Nebraska, 
thinks that he has completely demonstrat¬ 
ed that the work of the Bureau of Animal 
Industry is erroneous and that the germ 
does cause Texas fever (contrary to the asser¬ 
tions of the Bureau), as demonstrated by 
him some years ago. He has isolated this 
germ from the blood of Texas ticks, culti¬ 
vated them pure and killed cattle by inocu¬ 
lation with cultures direct from ticks. 
From Milwaukee comes the announce¬ 
ment that Cudahy Brothers have bought 
125 acres of land at Buckhom and hold 
options on 300 more. Cudahy Brothers, 
who now occupy the large packing houses 
of the late John Plankinton, will build 
immense packing houses of their own near 
the new stockyards. Their present lease 
expires in 1893, but they have the privilege 
of renewal for five years. Mr. Cudahy ex¬ 
pects that other packing companies, prob¬ 
ably some of those now in Chicago, will in 
time remove to the vicinity of the new 
stockyards. 
Will you help us to win those lawsuits; 
and, better, help to expose other fraudu¬ 
lent practices ? The way is easy.

Butter has made another strong ad vane 3 and the 
market Is in line shape for the sellers. Many of the 
best grades are decidedly scarce and the supply is by 
no means adequate to the demand. Receipts woul 1 
have to Increase largely to affect the market to any 
appreciable extent. The strongest demand Is for 
creamery, but good dairy is Arm. The situation is a 
good one for dairymen.

Fruits.— The heavy export of apples has had a 
favorable effect on the market here and prices are 
Arm and higher. Peaches have been received quite 
freely considering the season, but the demand Is 
limited. Pears are doing better for fancy stock. 
Grapes are selling fairly, but receipts continue heavy. 
Cranberries are in liberal receipt, but the demand is 
good, so that prices are well sustained. Quinces are 
also higher for the best. Florida oranges have been 
received In large quantities for the season, but the 
fruit Ls green and In light demand. The tendency of 
dried fruits seems to be downward.

2 packages Diamond Dyes. 
Rip the dress, and clean thoroughly. Put Into the 
dye bath while wet, as directed on the package. 
After dying, wash, dry, and press. Then make in
