CROPS AND MARKETS. 
Saturday, March 28,1885. 
Here about the only grades of wool main¬ 
taining a noticeably firm position are Terri¬ 
tory wools, choice, fine delaines and low and 
quarter-blood combing. The former are now 
scarce and hard to get anywhere, while they 
are in good request for use as a substitute for 
Michigan or Ohio wools. Fine fleeces are 
weak, and, as a whole, the trade drags. 
There is a growing disposition among manu¬ 
facturers to run only on orders. At Boston 
the aggregate amount of weekly sales holds 
up well, and is decidedly ahead of last year 
to this time. Prices in some classes, however, 
are slightly lower than a week ago, and the 
market is entirely wanting in animation. 
Fine and medium fleeces are in only 
moderate request. Michigan X commands 
2834 to 2934 cents; Ohio and Pennsylvania 
X, 80 at St cents, and Ohio XX. 38 at 84 cents 
—in each case a small decline. Medium 
grades are in slightly improved demand. 
Combing and delaine wools are firm, low 
combing noticeably so. Fine Ohio delaine is 
held at about 85 cents, and Michigan delaine 
and combing at 32 at 33 cents, Texas and 
Territory wools are in good demand, but de¬ 
sirable lots are not easy to find at any price. 
There is a fair request for pulled wools, with 
prices steady, at 25 at 30 cents for supers 
Very little is doing in Australian wool. 
Trade at Philadelphia has ruled dull, except 
in staple wools, for which there has been a fair 
demand, and in carpet and blanket wools 
(New Mexican and Colorado olios!, which 
have been decidely more active. The larger 
movement in the latter is in part the result 
of greater confidence in values and speculative 
feeling, influenced by the rise in East India 
wools at Liverpool, where the prospect of an 
A'nglo Russian war has strengthened values 
on all desirable wools. Fine fleeces and most 
clotbiog wools in this market are weak and 
tending downward. 
•‘CANNOT SPEAK TOO HIGHLY IN ITS 
PRAISE.” 
Dr. Turner, of our New York Depository,

“Brooklyn. 341 Hnvt St.. Dec. 4tb. 1882. 
Dr. John TrnxvR. 862 Broadway. New York. 
“Dear Doctor :—I Imd been subject to Terri 
ble influenza raids when l commenced using 
the Compound Oxvgen. two years ago. On 
leaving mv head they invariable seated them- 
selves on my lungs, rendering them very sore . 
and would sometimes leave me a cough for 
months. T dreaded these colds mare than my 
worst enemy. Bine* usiDgth" Oxvgen I have 
not bad one on mv luogs, and I have frequently 
had one inhalation drive away the cold so 
completely that toe next, day I could scarce 
realize t hat T hsd bad one at all. Other mem¬ 
bers of my family have used the Oxvgen for 
the same purpose; also fn v rheumatism, dys¬ 
pepsia. and catarrh, with equally good re¬ 
sults, especially in catarrh.

Saturday, March 28. 
The Dillon Brothers, of Nomal, 111 , exhib¬ 
ited 47 Norman horses at the New Orleans Ex¬ 
hibition and received 36 prizes. Nineteen of 
these prize-winners trace back to Old Louis, 
and 22 to St. Laurent. This should be a very 
satisfactory result. 
A Good Grass Picture. 
What is there more satisfying to tbp farmer 
to look at than a field of grass where the cocks 
staud about as thick as they can? In another 
column of this paper will be seen a picture of 
a bay field belonging to Mr. H. B. Packard, 
of Broektou, Mass., which so astonished his 
neighbors and gratified him. that he had it 
photographed. It was a field with fairly good 
grass roots, but needed top dressing. We un¬ 
derstand he applied two bags of the Srock- 
bridge Grass Fertilizer to the acre, and the 
result is seen iD the picture. It yielded over 
three tons to the acre. It evidently paid well, 
and will no doubt do so on every field which 
is not entirely bound out.— Adv.
