The Under Secretary of the Italian De¬ 
partment of Agriculture reports the crops 
all above the average vleld. Inexact figures 
the yield of wheat is 15,450,000 quarters; of 
maize, 8,068,000; of oats, 2.060 000; of bar¬ 
ley, 1,201,000, and of rice, 2 403,000. Eighty- 
five per cent of the wheat crop is of very 
good quality. The yield of wine is expected 
to be large in quantity and fine in quality, 
and the orange and lemon crops are most 
promising. Taken altogether, Italy has 
not been in such a prosperous condition in 
many years. 
A correspondent of an Eastern paper 
after making an extended trip over the 
northern half of North Dakota, reports 
that the farmers who have thrashed thus 
far find their grain yields from 20 to 30 
bushels per acre. Some of it is frosted, 
that of others grading No. 1 hard and No. 2 
Northern. The local buyers at the various 
railroad towns are paving the farmers 75 to 
80 cents per bushel. Thus a large number 
of the farmers are obtaining $24 per acre for 
the present crop. The assessors’ books in¬ 
dicate that there were 3,000,000 acres sown 
to wheat. The elevators show that the 
grain is averaging 80 bushels per acre, thus 
making a yield for the State of 90,000,000 
bushels. But supposing the estimate was 
cut down to an average of 25 bushels to the 
acre, the net proceeds of which we estimate 
at $60,000TOO, to be divided among a popu¬ 
lation of 187,000, making $320 for every man, 
woman and child in the State of North 
Dakota. Outside the Red River Vallej 
there has not been sufficient rainfall to 
warrant a crop for the last three years and 
the farmers were not supplied with thrash¬ 
ing mnchines to thrash out the grain, 
neither did they have a supply of men and 
teams, and now the only difficulty is to se¬ 
cure enough of these to get the grain ready 
for market before the ground freezes up. 
The Chamber of Commerce of St. Paul and 
Minneapolis in connection with the railroad 
is trying to thrash out the grain and move 
it to market. _

Butter Is dull on account of heavy receipts and a 
reduced demand, owing to recent high prices. Ex¬ 
treme prices always check consumption. Prices are 
off for best creamery. Dairy doesn’t show any de¬ 
cline yet, but is likely to unless receipts decrease.

peaches still In market, but little demand for them- 
Grapes are firm and higher for good lots. Quinces 
dull. Florida oranges dull and in large supply.

such green fruit. California fruits are in large sup¬ 
ply. Dried fruits show little change.

THE FASHION FOR BRACK. 
It Is seldom that fashion gives women a chance to 
practice economy. But this fall and winter no one 
need say ‘I can’t dress In style.” 
Black hat. black dress, black cloak, black gloves, 
black stockings—everything black-is now the fash¬ 
ion. And every woman has faded clothes that she 
can easily color a perfect black, that will not crock 
or fade, with the fast Mack Diamond Dyes. There are 
three kinds—fast black for wool fast stocking black 
for cotton, and fast black for silk and feathers. 
Thousands u«e these dyes, and make their old clothes 
as good as new, and so save the cost of new. Why 
don’t you ? A ten cent package colors from one-half 
to four pounds of goods. 
There a^e 40 other colors of Diamond Dyes that 
make any shade desired. And all are so simple that 
a child can uso them.— *dv.
