Saturday, May 3. 
The German Government has forbidden the 
transit through German territory of early 
fruits and vegetables from France, the reason 
assigned for this measure being the desire to 
prevent the importation of phylloxera. 
It has become a penal offence to sell in France 
such wines as contain salicylic acid. 
It is said that Kansas will plant over 
a hundred thousand acres of sorghum 
this year. Last year’s yield is set down 
at 5,000,000 gallons of sirup and 6,000,000 
pounds of sugar. .A pair of Devon oxen, 
weighing 5,100 pounds, was sold in Concord.

is fast becoming one of the industries of Utah. 
.The Senate has passed the Plewro-Pneu- 
monia Bill after some amendments.Prof, 
Law, of the Treasury Cattle Commission, who 
has been in Kausas for several days, carefully 
investigating alleged cases of foot-and-mouth 
disease, has telegraphed that all attempts to 
communicate the disease by inoculation have 
failed. This is regarded as settling the ques¬ 
tion beyond all conrioverv. that it, is not the 
European foot-and-mouth disease.A 
phenomenal cold wave has swept over Swit¬ 
zerland and adjacent departments of France, 
doing enormous damage to agriculture. One- 
third of the vintage is destroyed. At 
Macon and vicinity, vines were devastated by 
frost. The damage in the Saone Valley is es¬ 
timated at many millions of francs.Large 
numbers of cattle in Western Texas are dying 
for want of water and grass. The drought is 
very severe. Myriads of caterp.llars have 
appeared and are destroying all vegetation... 
.$470,000 worth of eggs were imported 
from Canada in three months of 1883 .. .... 
Wm. Wythe and another, of St. Joseph. Mo., 
have begun suit against Holzell & Bro., ranch¬ 
men, of Wise County, for $500,00:), for alleged 
violation of agreement in the sale of horses 
and cattle. ...The Russian Minister of 
Finance attributes the gloomy condition of 
finance aud trade in bis country to the compe¬ 
tition of the United States, Canada and India 
as exporters of wheat.Last Monday 
the Spanish contract for Kentucky tobacco, 
involving 40.000 hogsheads, was awarded, at 
about eight cents a pound, to the Marquis de 
Campos, for whom a tobacco firm in this city 
act as agents The value of the tobacco is 
fully $5,000,000, and the price is much higher 
than the Spanish Government paid two years 
ago.Brewster, Attorney-General, has 
decided the Sumatra tobacco cases in favor of 
the home producers. The duty on leaf to¬ 
bacco, of which 85 per cent, is suitable for 
wrappers, is 75 cents uustemmed, and $1 stem¬ 
med. Other unstemmed tobacco in the leaf is 
35 cents. The importers have been trying to 
enter Sumatra tobacco under the 85 per cent, 
clause, by putting into the bales a little over 
15 per cent, of poor stuff, which practice, the 
ruling of the Attorney-General will put a stop 
to....A man at East Brookfield, Mass., 
who raised and fattened 30 steers up to the 
average weight of 1,700 pounds, has just, sold 
them for export. It was the finest lot of fat 
cattle ever raised and fed by one man In New 
England .The enormous crop of pota¬ 
toes raised in the United Kingdom last Fall, 
has greatly lessened the use of cereals for food,
