year are: John D. James of Kansas, President; 
Hon. Matt. Anderson, of Wisconsin, Vice- 
President; D. W. Wood, of Illinois, Secretary; 
Allen Root, of Nebraska, Treasurer. Resolu¬ 
tions were adopted in favor of equal tax¬ 
ation; a just income tax ; moderate salaries 
for government officers, and civil service re¬ 
form; the abolition of free railroad passes to 
legislators and other public officials; Con¬ 
gressional legislation on interstate traffic; 
public agitation against railroad monopolies 
and exactions; a change in the patent laws 
exempting users of patented articles from lia¬ 
bility for royalty; the establishment of a uni¬ 
form royalty on all patents on payment of 
which any one can make the goods; penal leg¬ 
islation against food adulteration; the nomin¬ 
ation of all elective officers by the direct vote 
of members of the organization instead of 
by conventions. 
Commissioner Loring is arranging for an 
eight days’ conference of the leading agricul¬ 
turists of the country to be held in Wash¬ 
ington at the rooms of the Department of 
Agriculture, opening on January 10, 1882. It 
is proposed to secure the presence of repre¬ 
sentatives of State Boards of Agriculture, 
agricultural journals and agricultural col¬ 
leges as well as leading farmers and stock 
breeders and all others especially interested in 
agricultural affairs. The first two Jays will 
be devoted to agricultural colleges and societies 
and the discussion of the general principles of 
farming, and of questions relating to agri¬ 
cultural education. The next two days will 
be occupied by the consideration of the 
various modes of breeding, feeding and hand¬ 
ling cattle, horses, si eep and swine, their 
sanitary condition, and the questions of trans¬ 
portation, exportation, etc. January 14 and 
15 will lie devoted to discussion of all mat¬ 
ters relating to cereal crops, and during the 
two following days the management of vine¬ 
yards and the manufacture of wine will receive 
full consideration. 
The annual convention of Short-horn 
breeders is to meet at Jacksonville, 
Illinois, on October 26 and 27. It is 
believed that a change in the organization 
will be effected in the way of rendering 
it more aggressive, and with this object in 
view an effort will be made to elect young and 
enterprising men as officers. From all ac¬ 
counts, there seems to have been a great lack 
of enterprise and push among Short-horn men 
of late, all the more noticeable in face of the 
energy with which rival breeds of cattle are 
being brought to the favorable notice of the 
public.

Butticu. -There Is u weakish tone to the market for 
all but fine grades, and these are showing forced rates 
in consequence of the scarcity of fancy. The fact Is. 
butter seems to have lost tr.s noom aloug with several 
other items of produce, and prices are up to a point 
that keeps the general slock large. In the opinion of 
the trade the next turn In prices will be in buyers' 
favor. Exporters seem to have deserted the. market, 
ami reports from abroad do not show a want of any¬ 
thing that can be sent out profitably. We repeat
