A cablegram last Wednesday announced that 
in the granaries of Odessa, Russia, there 
are 12,000,000 bushels of wheat ready for ex¬ 
portation, and all equal qiiuntity in other 
Black Sea ports, tins total being valued at 30,-

Legislature has pussod an act of great import¬

Honey material was scarce last Summer, and 
the bees spread over tbo neighborhood in

begun against the owner, and the question 
whether ho has maintained a nuisance, or lias

manufacture of “ pure olive oil ” from cotton 
seed is indicated by export statistics from 
New Orleans. Of 0.000,000 gallons shipped 
thence during 1871)-’80, 88 per cent, was sent 
to the Mediterranean and French ports, and 
one-half of this amount to Italy. This is 
more than the entire olive oil production of 
France, and one-fifth that of Italy itself, and 
our entire exports are supposed bo used in 
adulterating the foreign olive oil. Our entire 
product amounted to 15,000,000 gallons. 
The Census Bureau has issued u bulletin

of December 24, in the review' of the grain 
trade of tlieweek, says: “ All Autumn-sown 
crops are very healthy. The farmers’ wheats 
have come to hand in very had order the past 
few weeks, thus increasing the difficulty of 
sale. The demand for breadstuff's is small, 
and trade is restricted. Native grain is un¬ 
changed. There is no fresh feature in foreign 
bread-stuffs. Low- grades of Indian and 
Russian wheat are mostly cheaper. Ameri¬ 
can gram in some provincial exchanges is 
cheaper than last week. Trade everywhere is 
quite of a retail character".The Short¬ 
horn Breeders' Convention that met at Lan¬ 
sing, Midi., on December 21 and 22, passed 
resolutions asking Congress to pass a law pro¬ 
hibiting tbo importation of entile for breed¬

to remain in force so long as the similar pro¬ 
hibition against importation of American 
cattle is enforced by the Dominion.At 
the New York State Dairymens’ Association 
held at Whitney's Point, December 22, it was 
stated that the cows in this State number 
1,500.000. The approximate investment, 
real and personal, per cow, in the dairy dis¬ 
tricts, is #015; total in the State on the same 
basis, #065,000,000; value of dairy products, 
#100,000,000. Resolutions were adopted dis¬ 
approving the policy of the Holstein Breed¬ 
ers’ Association in trying to exclude the Dutch- 
Friesian Breeders’ Association from fair com¬ 
petition; demanding of Congress such a re¬ 
vision of the tariff as will secure the greatest 
revenue with the least tax of the people, and 
with protection to our manufactures, and ask¬

and frauds. .. 
The royal baron of beef for Queen Victoria’s 
Christmas dinner was out from a very prime 
red-aiul white Short-horn ox bred by bis 
Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught at 
Bagsliot Park, w'hioh was bought by the 
Royal purveyors for j£ 7M, (§M65). The joint 
weighed about M60 lbs. It was roasted at 
Windsor Castle and sent to Osborne, in the 
Isle of Wight, where the tjueen spent Christ¬ 
mas.In the United States Circuit C mrt 
at Baltimore, on Doc. 28, in the case of Boy¬ 
kin and Carmen against R. J. Baker & Co., 
which was argued before the Court several 
weeks since, .Judge Morris filed his opinion in 
favor of the defendants. The action was for 
alleged infringement of a patent for the manu¬ 
facture of fertilizers held by the complainants, 
from the manufacture and sale of which they 
would have derived large profits, had not the 
defendants and others infringed upon their 
patent. The Court held that the only differ¬ 
ence between the formula patented by com¬ 
plainants from the old Liebig formula was 
the substitution of dissolved bone and ground 
plaster tor ground bona and Calcined plaster, 
and that the patent was invalid for want of 
novelty, or any patentable discovery. A 
large interest was involved in the result of 
this suit.The silo is to be tested at the 
Michigan Agricultural College, the legislature 
having made a liberal appropriation lor this 
purpose. The silo has beeu filled with corn 
grown for the purpose. Samples were sub¬ 
jected to careful cnetuical tests before putting 
it into the pit, and frequent tests will be made 
as the season progresses. From this source 
the public may expect a very important re¬ 
port upon this much written about process for 
preserving fodder. 
Mr. M. G. White, of llinkley, III., recently 
purchased 1,500 sheep from a ranch in the 
Bnowy Mountains, 75 miles east of Helena, 
and drove them through tbo snow along Gen, 
Custers old trail, down the north bunk of the 
Yellowstone River, until lie reached! 1 leudine,

Short-horns of Messrs. J. II. Polls & Son, 
Jacksonville, Ill-, has taken over #28,000 in 
casli premiums at the Full shows of the past 
four years.Rinderpest has appeared, since 
October 8th, in three places in Lower Austria, 
ami one in Hungary. Twenty-three places 
and two hundred and eighty-seven farms have 
been affected with it since the first outbreak, 
resulting in a loss of 8,084 animals. 
Large numbers of pure Short-horns are 
being exported from England to Buenos 
Ayres, South America. 
A writer of Antwerp, Belgium gives his 
views on the French embargo on American 
hog products, as follows: “The pains taken 
by the French authorities to promulgate their 
measure among t he masses and to raise a pre¬ 
judice against American pork were simply 
ridiculous. They went so far as to send men 
through the streets of the small tow ns and 
villages, ringing bells and crying out, “Be¬ 
ware of American bacon!” Had the Ameri¬ 
can government, when that step was taken 
by the French, at once -retaliated by exclud¬ 
ing their clarets, champagnes and cognacs, a 
blow' would have been given to French inter¬ 
ests that would have raised enough clamor in 
France to compel the grovemment to rescind 
its decree.”.We learn from Hohemvald 
County, Tenu., that the peanut crop is being 
rapidly picked. The quality raised in that 
county will range from refuse to poor No. 2; 
none is fit to go as No. 1. Low is, Perry and 
llickuian Counties will yield about 10 per cent, 
of lust year's crop in quantity. There three 
counties raise about half the crop of the State. 
As picking progresses the quality of that re¬ 
ceived is likely to deteriorate, as fanners gen¬ 
erally pick and send in the best first.

PRODUCE AND PROVISIONS. 
New York, Saturday. Dec. 31,1881. 
The week has been a most Indefinite one for quota¬ 
tions of many articles. The close of December la al 
waya attended with a lull In wholesale markets ; but 
this post, week has beou exceptionally unseasonable 
and perishable property has sulleri.-d serious neglect. 
Perhaps the fruit, poultry and game dealers have 
most reason to complain, as the usual extra culls that 
arc made Tor 1mlhlny festivals have been cheeked by 
damp, soft weather. Dairy products have about held 
their own with an allowable trade. 
Beans anti Picas. A fairly steady feeling prevails 
In while standard beams. Supplies seem to lie well 
forward from the dally receipts, uud all prime marks 
are held vvltlieonUdeuvo. Choice. Red kidneys have a 
steady small sale; they are sh.nvy, and grocers In 
Winter require them to embellish their stock. Pea 
beaus In moderate Uemuud. This Is the favorite 
brand for New kngiund use, but a good mauy have 
gone direct and New York Inn, fewer orders. Pens 
are unchanged.

features for a largo proportion of butter under line

for exhibition. Very fancy creamery Is uni plenty, 
but Iih moderate sales indicate that, prices are rather

more sought for than cheap Western, though prices
