A large gathering or distinguished Republi¬ 
cans celebrated the birthday of Abraham Lin- 
eolu at Dolraonieo’s, in New York, Saturday 
evening. Gov. Foraker of Ohio, made the 
speech of the evening in response to the toast. 
“The Republican Party.”.Tobogganing 
in the United States is a very deadly importa¬ 
tion from Canada.Mrs Lamadrld within 
a month has started six “one-cent” meal 
booths in “down-town” New York, and lias 
sold over 35,000 meals—hatred beans or soup 
and coffee, all for one cent. Patrons chiefly 
bootblacks. Mayor Hewitt has vetoed the 
booths as contrary to the city ordinances.... 
....The great, strike here has collapsed after 
lasting from one to six weeks, as (be parties 
were successively “ordered our..” Most of the 
strikers have been taken hack on the old terms; 
a few have secured an advance; at least one- 
third are still idle, as most of the “scabs” who 
proved good workers are kept, and some em¬ 
ployers absolutely refuse to take the strikers 
back. Most oT them had to return individu¬ 
ally, not as a body. Brail street, estimates the

Logan and Blair Pension Bills are practically 
dead.The President's veto of the Pen¬ 
sion Bill is denounced by about four-fifths of 
the Graud Army of the Republic on the grouud 
that the nation owes help in the hour of dis¬ 
tress to those who risked their lives for her m 
the hour of her distress, Many of the papers 
which opposed the hill before the veto, now 
object to the veto on the ground that, its word¬ 
ing is not. sympathetic enough towards the 
Boy* in Blue. A good deal of pressure is be¬ 
ing' brought to bear on Senators and Repre¬ 
sentatives to puss the bill over the veto, and 
this is rather probable, Some pro-veto pa¬ 
pers are atrocious for their vilification of the 
old veterans. One can honestly object to a 
measure while honoring those who would he 
benefited by it. The press of all parties as a 
rule favor the veto; with many Republican 
and a few Democratic exceptions. Hordes of 
“claim agents” clamorous against the veto 
It is estimated that about two-thirds of 
the G. A. R. are Republicans, but the 
body is professedly non partisan ..

crude oil—cost not over 2 cents per 1,00(1 feet— 
will give heat, enough to melt any metal. It

Yesterday the New York Assembly, by a 
vote of 72 to 29, decided not to exempt, female 
murderers from hanging. Governor Hill sonic 
time since refused to commute the death sen¬ 
tence of Mrs. Druse who killed her husband, 
boiled some of the body aud fed it to the hogs 
and evematod the rest, in the kitclieu stove. 
The Governor intimated that if the sentence 
was to lie commuted, the Legislature should 
do it. Now. Mrs. I*. Is sure to hang. 
The Kansas Legislature has passed a till al¬ 
lowing women to vote at. municipal elections, 
and Gov. Martin has signed it,. The New 
York Senate has passed a similar bill, and it is 
certain to pass the Assembly, probably to day.

Minnesota Capitol at St. Paul was hastily

St. Paul, is pressing her claim to be made

The “bucket shops” say it is a bill for the abo- 
lution of the Exchange itself—the biggest 
gambling “hell” in the city..Stren¬

the large gamblers in stocks and produce to 
suppress the small ones, who were usually

The average weight, of hogs at the Kansas 
Cit.y Stock yards tip* first seven days of Febru¬ 
ary was 281 {founds, against 242 pounds for 
corresponding time last year; for seven days 
ending February H, the average was 281 
pounds, against 280 last year. Receipts for 
the 14 day* were 81.959, against 74,590 last 
year; shipments 15,799, against. 18,542 last year. 
.The wheat crop In Hungary in 1889 is 
reported as 108,095,000 bushels, against 112,- 
5.20,000 bushels in 1886, and 108,888,0 0, bushels 
iu 1884. An official report, from Cal¬ 
cutta, January 4, gives an estimate of 0,857,- 
000 acres as the area of wheat this season in 
the Punjab district of India, or two per cent, 
less than last year. “Rain fell in October 
only in the districts near the hills. In other 
districts the sowings are short.” The Punjab 
represents about one-fourth of the wheat 
territory of India.... 
The Delaware House la-st Wednesday passed

FERTILIZERS THAT PAY! 
H. J. Baker & Bro. : 
Dear Sikh—Y our Fertilizers for cabbage 
potatoes aud corn have been used on the same 
ground ever since you started to manufacture 
them, and they have always given entire sat¬ 
isfaction. Last season I tried them side by 
side with two other brands of Fertilizers, 
“supposed,” by some persons, to lie the best iu 
the market, but H. J. Baker & liro.’s turned 
out to be the earliest, aud most productive. It 
works uice iu the machines, does not, get hard 
as a rock, aud is never soggy.

Crops & iilarkds. 
Saturday, Feb. 19, 1887. 
The French wine crop of 1889 is said to lie 
very small and of poor quality. The quantity 
of wine made was only 558.828,090 gallons, or 
less thun the quantity produced in any pre¬ 
vious year since t88il. the five years 1852-50 
excepted. The quantity in 1875 was 1,820,- 
000,000 gallons. The average for the five 
years 1872-79 was 1,180,000,000; the average 
for the five years 1877 sf was 885,(100,000. and 
the average for the last five years has been 
only 990,800,.800. 
What a boom hogs are getting! Were it not 
that the closing of an unusually large number 
of pack*'ries at this season has lessened compe¬ 
tition in buying, the advance would doubtless 
be greater. Total packing in the West, tb# 
past week. 190,000 hogs, against 180.000 last 
week and 175.900 for the corresponding time 
lust year. Total from November 1 to date. 
5,720,000 bogs, against 0.005.000 a year ago, 
showiug a decrease of 285,000. Hogs now be¬ 
ing marketed are largely of indifferent qual¬ 
ity, and generally of light weight, showing 
that marketable stock has been pressed for¬ 
ward closely. Prices of hogs have strength¬ 
ened during the week, making an advance of 
20 to 80 cents per 100 pounds at Chicago, ami 
nearly a like gaiu elsewhere. There seems no 
reason why the present fooling should not con¬ 
tinue tor some months yet. At any rate, it is 
likely hogs will lead cattle and sheep on the 
average uutil at least early summer. As the 
number of no other live spick can bo so quick¬ 
ly increased as bogs, and as a season of good 
prices is nearly always followed by an in¬ 
crease in the product sold, hogs are likely to 
be quite plentiful a year hence. 
The corn pack of 1880 is reported to have 
been 57 per cent,, more than thatof 1885. The 
total pack in 1889 was 1,704,785 cases of 24 
cans each, against 1,082.174 in 1885. According 
to the American Grocer, the following are the 
figures: 
Cases, ‘24 
cans each. 
Maine.494.458 
Maryland.854.000 
No w York.258,150 
Indiana and Illinois .184,200 
Iowa. 124.282 
Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Arkansas, 141,050

Canada. 30,000 
Other States. 75,000 
Total, 1880 .1.704.735 
Total, 1885 .1,082.174 
Methods of packing have been more care 
fully studied than ever before, with the result 
of placing before consumers a higher average 
grade of canned corn than has previously 
been the case. There has been the same wide 
difference in price as in former years. Mary¬ 
land brands have ranged from 75 cents to $1; 
Maine, from $1 to $1.20. advancing late in the 
season to $1,80 to $1,40 for favorite labels; 
New York, from 90 cents to $1,26; Western, 
from 85 cents to $1. Already very large sales 
of fancy brands have been made for ls.87 
{jacked corn at $1.25 for Maine; .80 cents to$l 
for Maryland; 90 cents to $1.2.5for New York, 
tins orders being far ahead of those booked at 
the same time in 18,80, 
There seems little prospect, for any sub¬ 
stantial advance in the present low prices 
Of rattle in the near future. Every little 
advance made now starts increased run* at 
the West, showing that no considerable ini 
provniemt can be expected from a light supply. 
While the winter has been quite disastrous to 
live stocks in many parts of Montana. Dakota 
and Wyoming, heavy losses occur there every 
winter, and hitherto the losses have lieen 
smaller than usual iu the ranges farther 
south. The very depressed condition of the 
cuttle murket is attributed largely to the 
millionaire butchering monopolists of Chicago 
and Kansas City,who refuse to advance prices 
in the West, while keeping down prices for 
live cattle in the Ohio Valley and the Atlantic 
States by means of the dressed meat coni peti¬ 
tion. Fewer cattle and more dressed moat 
shipped east from the west every year; and 
the fixing Of the prices for live stock is con¬ 
stantly falling more arid more Into the con¬ 
trol of the monopolists. In this market the 
commissions for selling stock have come 
down from $2.50 per beud to $1 and now a 
rate of $19 a car-load is advocated. Lent 
opens next Wednesday, and for the next six 
weeks flesh meat markets are likely to he un¬ 
usually dull.
