U. S. Troops have assembled in consider¬ 
able force at the scene of the late Chinese 
troubles in Wyoming. Twenty whites have 
been arrested: only about 75 Chinese were 
killed—so far as known. Another outbreak of 
white miners to rescue their imprisoned com¬ 
rades, is feared.Wednesday, 13 miles east 
of Seattle, W. T., a mob of Indians, headed, of 
course, by whites, mobbed a party of Chinese 
hop-pickers, killing only two, and wounding 
only four. Formerly Indians excusively had 
been hired as pickers; but this year Chinese 
cheap labor had replaced them. The Chinese 
had been fairly warned to quit, but refused to 
do so. None of the employers was hurt in the 
least!.There were received in Chicago 
during the 5 ear 1885 about 19,700 tons of 
cheese, against 23,927 tons for the year 1883, 
The recipes of butter were 41,709 tons, against 
37,667 tons for 1888.Owing to the col¬ 
lapse of the “whisky pool,” high-proof spirits 
are going down to $1. a gallon.Very 
little abatement in small pox plague at Mon¬ 
treal—40 new cases reported Wednesday; av¬ 
erage of new cases daily about 30: average 
daily deaths about 15—23 on Wednesday. It 
is spreading through the surroundiug country 
and villages. Our postal authorities have 
requested those of the Dominion to have all 
mail matter from Montreal to the United 
States thoroughly fumigated prior to dispatch. 
....There is much complaint in towns and 
cities at the withdrawal of one and two dol¬ 
lar bills from circulation, in order to force sil¬ 
ver dollars into the pockets of the public. 
....Three million pupils now attend the free 
schools in the Southern States, and over 10 
million dollars are annually raised to support 
them.. The Massachusetts S tate 
Board of Health is overhauling the druggists, 
to see whether they keep drugs up to standard. 
In one case it was fouud that the opium was 
adulterated 90 per cent., that the wine was 
merely alcohol, and that a quarter of the sugar 
was dirt.Out of 48,421 fourth- 
class post offices only 6,400 changes have been 
made in postmasters for any reason. Out of 
2,332 post offices in which the appointment of 
postmasters is made by the President, there 
have been only 487 changes. 
....Last Monday the annual parade of labor 
organizations took place at New York and 
Chicago, 15.000 men in line here; 8,000 there. 
.... Queen Victoria has approved the project 
of bestowing medals upon the Canadian sol¬ 
diers who were engaged in the work of sup¬ 
pressing the Riel rebellion....

AGRICULTURAL NEWS. 
Saturday, September 12,1885. 
There will be another Kansas City Fat 
Stock Show, a collapse having been prevented 
by the strenuous efforts of the managers. 
A telegram from Charleston, S. C., Wednes¬ 
day, says: “The phosphate pool, which for 
the last three years has fixed the price for 
land rock at $ 6.50 per ton, has dissolved, and 
sales are made below the pool figures. The 
pool covered only land miners.”.The 
new Report of the Geological Survey of New 
Jersey says artesian wells may be counted on 
with certainty to flow at a depth of 500 feet 
in that State.At the recent meeting of 
the Society for the Promotion of Agricultural 
Science at Ann Arbor, Mich., the following 
officers were elected for the coming year: 
President. Henry E. Alvord, manager, 
Houghton Farm, N. Y.; Secretary and Trea¬ 
surer, Professor Byron D. Halsted, Iowa Ag¬ 
ricultural College; third member of the Ex¬ 
ecutive Committee, Professor Edward M. 
Shelton, Kansas Agricultural College. The 
society membership is limited to 40, but three 
new members were elected, namely: our cor¬ 
respondent, T. V. Munson, who has done so 
much to advance the grape interests of the 
South, whose likeness we this week present to 
our readers; Dr. Jenkins, of the Connecticut 
Experiment Station, and Professor Saunders, 
of Canada, well known as a prominent econo¬ 
mic entomologist, whose likeness lately ap¬ 
peared in our “Portrait Gallery.”. 
An Eloquent Lecturer. 
A well known Temperance worker and 
Bible reader, Mrs. M. Cator, of Camden, New 
Jersey, has been raised almost from the grave, 
and restored to good health, by the use of 
Compound Oxygen. In giving a reporter of 
the press an account of her recovery, she 
spoke of a number of cures by means of this 
treatment which had come under her immedi¬ 
ate notice, 
We give one of the cases mentioned: “Lot 
me tell you.” said Mrs. Cator, “that what 
Compound Oxygen has done for me is nothing 
to what it has done for some of my friends. 
There is Miss Frances E. Willard, who is 
everywhere known as one of the most elo¬ 
quent of our Temperance speakers. The other 
day I had a letter from Iowa, in which she 
thanked me for having brought Compound 
Oxygen to her notice. Shi' had been badly 
run down by overwork, constant speaking a nd 
travel. She is now as strong as ever, and in 
•perfect health for active duty.” 
Other cases, even more remarkable, which 
bad come to her knowledge, were described by 
Mrs. Cator.

CROPS AND MARKETS. 
Saturday, 12, 1885. 
The Mark Lane Express, in its weekly re¬ 
view of the British grain trade, says: Cold 
rains in some sections and local storms in oth¬ 
ers have delayed harvesting. The sales of 
English wheat during the past week were 80,- 
709 quartern at 82s. 4d,, against 62,673 quarters 
at 34s. 3d. during the corresponding week of 
last year. The price of foreign wheat is un¬ 
changed. There has been a decline of 6 d. per 
quarter in the price of cargoes off coast. 
There were 18 arrivals, 5 cargoes sold, 6 were 
withdrawn and 13 remained, including 1 of 
California. About 20 cargoes are due. 
At the Vienna Corn Fair held the other day, 
reports respecting the Russian harvest repre¬ 
sented the winter crops as yielding nearly the 
average, while summer crops are bad. 
Austro-Hungary and India,on the other hand, 
have a larger surplus than for some years. 
The ruling price of Indian and Russian 
wheats at London is but fractionally higher 
than the quotations for American wheat at 
New York. While this state of things contin¬ 
ues exports of wheat must be small, and 
prices here cannot go up; especially in view 
of the constant increase of the “visible sup¬ 
ply” from the marketing of stock hitherto in 
farmers 1 hand,?. The decrease in wheat ship¬ 
ments abroad amounts to nearly 12 , 000,000 
bushels since July 1, as compared with last 
year. 
A telegram from Minneapolis, Minn., this 
morning, says that an analysis of a large 
number of reports just received there, cover¬ 
ing all important points in Southern Minne¬ 
sota and Dakota, shows that in a little more 
than one-third of the couuties covered, there 
is no appreciable damage to corn from frost. 
In about one-third the damage is real, but«ot 
heavy, being principally confined to such in¬ 
jury to the plant as will lessen or destroy its 
value for feeding purposes. In a little less 
than one-tbtrd the yield will be affected, esti¬ 
mates of the deterioration ranging from 10 to 
30 per ceDt, Before these frosts, the reports, 
almost, without exception, were that the corn 
crop would be the heaviest ever known. It 
will still be excellent, and as 10 days of cool 
and rainy weather, with intermittent frosts, 
have now been succeeded by pleasant days, 
with higher temperature, there is reason to 
believe that the crop is practically safe from 
further damage from this cause. 
A liberal movement of wool continues to be 
reported at all the seaboard markets, and 
prices are firm and gradually advancing. 
Sales are well distributed, and on the whole 
the gain of the last six weeks in values and 
activity is fully sustained. The shortage in 
this year’s Australian wool clip is estimated in 
Melbourne at 80,000 bales. The Boston market 
is strong, with advances of recorded 
on some kinds, and sales liberal. In the 
movement of wool there has been no retro¬ 
gression since July 1, when increased activity 
first appeared. Manufacturers are slow to 
pay more than early in the Summer, but yet 
the range of prices shows a material advance. 
Reports from the growing tobacco crop to 
Western papers and to dealers in New York 
City, state that the drought throughout the 
tobacco-growing district is seriously injuring 
the crop. 
The cotton crop report for the Memphis, 
Tennessee, district sayBthe outlook is anything 
but encouraging. Hot, dry weather prevailed 
during the past month which did serious dam¬ 
age.

PRICES OF FERTILIZING MATERIALS

CIAL FERTILIZERS. 
New York, Sept. 12,1885. 
There has been no material nlmnge in the 
prices of fertilizing chemicals since our last 
report, although au increased demand and a 
good jobbing trade in almost all kinds are re¬ 
ported. 
The Southern demand both for raw materi¬ 
als and manufactured fertilizers is increasing. 
Muriate of potash is a trifle firmer, so also is 
kainit, and con tracts for future delivery have 
been made at higher figures.

cals, at wholesale and at retail, by the ton or 
less:—
