board In mid-ocean by one of their captains who 
believed a storm Imminent. A Belgian court had

Famine In the interior of Kussla Is reported as 
heart-rending. The provl uces of SaratofT and Kief, 
which annually export. In ordinary times, enor¬ 
mous quantities of grain, had scarcely any crop 
last year. The calamity is aggravated by the 
want of fodder for cattle,the peasants being forced 
to sell them. I n the Caucasus the famine Is still 
greater, where people are committing suicide and 
•selling their children.According to the 
Mark Lane Express of Feb. 24th, imports of wheat 
Into Great Britain during Hie previous week were 
small; sales ditto, mainly retatl, large dealers 
holding off for a big drop here. Prices steady 
except for Russian wheat, which fell a little early 
In the week, but recovered later. Maize scarce 
and prices stllTer. Barley and oats quiet 
with a slight advance on the latter.

oi American varieties that will resist the attacks 
of phylloxera. The wonderful hardiness of native

perimenters have a double reason for hope..

Police commissioners for permission to lake away

pense. Permission given.Dennis McCarthy, 
of Newbuig, N. Y., rejoices In tne possession of 
a prelaw cow that last Tuesday gave birth to 
lour calves -three hc-lfers and a bull. A few hours 
later, when lust heard irom, all of the calves were 
strong enough to stand tmnly on their legs and 
suck. They resemble each other In color and 
size. They are symmetrically formed, and 
appear to be In a healthy condition.

The Germans, who for the last, decade 
have devoted great attention to horse and 
cattle breeding, propose to hold an international 
agricultural show, especially of live stock, at 
Hamburg In 1882, The last one at the same place 
lu 18(13 was very successful ...The past year was 
the first, since 1853 on which the sugar caue 
tasseled In La., a size indicative ot a splendid 
y leld ... H is proposed In Germany to totally pro¬ 
hibit the Importation of horses, oxen, sheep and 
swine from Russia and Austria, because in addi¬ 
tion to cattle-plague other diseases, such as glan¬ 
ders, sheep-pox, foot-and-mouth disease, etc, are 
constantly introduced from those countries.... 
Large quantities of ancient wheat and pea seeds 
have been discovered at a considerable depth

are told that a cow there, last year brought forth 
it' e perfectly developed living calves, all of which 
have since done well. Two or these, hotu bull 
calves, were dropped at the beginning of the year, 
and the other three, one buz and two cow calves, 
In (he month of December.... The following Is the

in England.... The organization of the Orange, 
Sullivan ami Sussex County Milk Producers’ Pro¬ 
tective Association was completed Wednesday at 
Middiet.ow'n, with. M. D. Houston, President. 
Abundant rains have delighted rural Texas ... 
Georgia got $ 10,000 last year for guano Inspector 
fees—$25,000 worth of goat-skins w’ere shipped 
from Corpus Chrlsti, Texas, last year. ...Southern 
tramps arc meandering North after the eolton- 
ptoking season — South Carolina flatters Itself 
that a recent snow storm has killed the Hessian 
fly, which had begun to damage the wheat crop. 
... Georgia will bold no State Fair Ibis year, but

Seven head of cattle belonging to s. T. Mead, of 
Greenwich, Conn., have been officially declared 
afflicted w ith pleuro-pneumonia, and their slaugh¬ 
ter advised by Prof. Law. The Governor’s action 
not known yet ., See. Sherman reports to Congress 
that the cattle exports for the past six years have 
aggregated nearly $23,000,000; that pleuro-pneu- 
mouta Is contagious among cattle ; that It is always 
Introduced here by contagion; that the only means 
of suppression Ik by the destruction of Infected 
cattle; that none exists or has existed In any State 
west of the Afleghnoies, and there is none now In 
the United States on or near the boundary of Can¬ 
ada or In Canada. The disease exists in the east¬ 
ern part of New York, In New Jersey', Penns,yl 
vanla, and possibly in parts of Maryland, Virginia, 
and the District ot Columbia... A circular has 
been Issued by the Treasury Department revoking 
the order of November 3, 1879. which prohibited 
the importation of neat cattle from the Dominion 
of Canada The revocation was to take effect March 
l — This week’s circular ot the Liverpool Cotton 
Brokers’ Association, published on Feb. 27, says: 
Cotton was In comparatively limited demand 
throughout the week, and quotations show a slight, 
decline. American was In moderate demand which 
was fully supplied, bur, quotations are reduced 
1-lfid. In Sea Island business was small, but prices 
wer e firmly maintained. Futures opened dull and 
the tone was generally quiet. Prices, after slight 
fluctuations, show a decline of l-32d.®l-l6d.” 
A loading Liverpool grain circular of February 5? 
says: “ The wheat trade, though less buoyant, has 
been generally steady. At the provincial markets 
during the past few days wheat was held for is 
2 s. per quarter advance, which somewhat checked 
business. Cargoes off coast were firmly held, but 
the demand was less active. There are larger of¬ 
ferings for future arrival, causing prices to tend in 
favor of buyers, corn was very scarce, but with¬ 
out quotable change. Country millers are Indis¬ 
posed to follow up recent purchases. Hellers aro 
willing to accept a reduction of 2d. from Tuesday’s 
rates, but there was no general pressure to sell. 
There Is more coi n offering, which meets with 
slow Inquiry at a ,,d. decline.The railroad 
rates on hogs from Cuicago were reduced, ou Feb. 
26, live cents per cwt,, and rates to all New Eng¬ 
land ports were made the same as those to this 
city.- It, is said that reductions In gram rates 
are not Improbable,—navigation will soon 
be open, and force these.The regular 
monthly meeting of the New York Horticultural 
Society will he held at or> West 33d Street, near 
Broadway, on Tuesday, March 9th, at 2 p.m. Low 
ot premiums offered for flowers, etc. This Society 
usually meets on the first Tuesday In every month 
at 2 v.m. at above place.
