and come from men and women in every posi 
tion in life. A college president in Vermont 
writes that though he is well on in years, his 
voice has been restored so that he can give his 
lectures and addresses without inconvenience, 
after for a long time having been a sufferer 
from throat disease. When such wide-spread, 
agreement as to results is witnessed, there can 
be no doubt as to Compound Oxygen. A well 
prepared digest of the history and working of 
this remarkable revitalizer in the form of a two 
hundred paged brochure, will he sent free by

Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pa.— Aclv. 
Saturday, May 28, 1887. 
The United States still supplies the United 
Kingdom with nearly two-thirds the wheat 
which it consumes, as shown by official Brit- 
ish figures just made public. The amount of 
wheat imported into that country in 18.86 was 
121,600,000 bushels, of which the United 
States furnished about 72,000,000. India, 
as in every recent year, comes next to the 
United States, supplying 20,000,000 bushels. 
Russia and Canada provided about 7,000,000 
bushels each, and Austria and Germany to¬ 
gether sent a like quantity, while a few other 
countries furnished small quantities. 
The latest Florida reports say the orange 
crop and prices have been quite satisfactory 
this season. One million boxes have been 
marketed, at an average price of 82 per box. 
Outlook now very promising, and a crop of 
1,200,000 boxes is predicted for next year. 
A total crop of 10,000,000 baskets is thought 
probable in the peach-growing States of 
Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New 
Jersey and New York. The “peach basket 
embroglio'’still continues. New Jersey peach 
growers, it is stated, are generally willing to 
include the basket, while the growers in Dela¬ 
ware and Maryland are opposed to it. 
In the wheat market the principal point of 
note is the growth of the “bull” element. 
The sentiments of speculators are all in this 
direction, and it would be difficult to find one 
who believes in any material decline from 
present prices. The market certainly now 
seems in a healthy condition. Europe is buy¬ 
ing largely both of cash wheat and futures at 
the recent advance—a pretty good indication 
that our entire surplus will be wanted abroad. 
Cable advices from Paris report strong and 
higher markets, and that France aloue will 
have to import 10,000,000 bushels wheat before 
harvest. The clearances nt. seaboard during 
the week were large. Stocks at seaboard 
points are very low, and receipts at primary 
points continue light. The market bus ad¬ 
vanced sharply, but the largo amount of wheat 
“in farmers’ hands" does not come out. This 
would seem to suggest that after all, perhaps 
the crop of 1880 was overestimated. 
With regard to that reported wheat corner 
with headquarters at Chicago,a telegram say 3 
that a sudden fright seized the “shorts" in 
June wheat on Thursday, and their efforts to 
cover ran the price of that future up nearly a 
cent in live minutes, to 90 ceurs, the highest 
price touched by wheat this year. At the 
latter figure the entire force of clique brokers 
begau selling, aud did not cease until the 
market was beaten down again to its starting 
point. Close observers of the clique’s opera¬ 
tions estimated that they sold between 1,000,- 
000 and 1,500,000 bushels. The bujdug was all 
done by the shorts, the June future being 
steadily avoided by fresh traders. It is said 
to-day that the clique are now quietly selling 
June and buying July wheat. 
This morning's advices say there has been 
no improvement in prices of hog products. 
Freer arrivals of hogs at the West have kept 
the market unsettled. Pork is weaker (with 
the West) and in moderate inquiry, old mess 
closing at $15.25, and new at $15.50 to 810.00, 
Dressed hogs arc easier anti in moderate sale; 
city closed at fij* to Cut meats are 
a shade higher aud wanted. Pickled bellies, 
bulk, 10 to 12c.; averages closed at 7,' ■< to 7%c. 
A S far as we know, and so far as careful Inquiry goes among men likely to bo posted on the subject, 
this J A I* A KHK BUCKWHEAT is not only entirely distinct from all other varieties, 
but lias never before been seen in this country, except in the limited area that 
wo will shortly refer to. A thimbleful of this Buckwheat was sent by a Japanese 
hjl gentleman to a friend residing in New Jersey In lh83. Tbo most of the product 
vSjJr of that thimbleful met with a calamity, but enough was saved to enable the 
^ grower to sow in 1885 half a bushel, and the result of that Boning was forty 
\&w tKf l»ust»e!s of good seed. A glauco at our Illustration will show that the ker- 
yr . Q *r nets are at least twice the size of those of any other variety, and of a shape 
/"v ff peenliar and distinct from all others. Tic color of the kernels is also most dis- 
h.'.L M ▼ AmM t'.net, being a rich dark shade of brown. The grower of this Buckwheat finds that 
Wf vBV 1,10 straw is heavier, that it branches more, and docs Dot need to bo sown as 
thickly as the other kinds. The flour made from it is equal in quality to that 
of any other Buckwheat, and, as the yields show, is enormously productive, 
dl V a|a The party from whom we bought the stock, distributed in 1H80 ten bushels 
WjV y'TW '■jaw among fanner* In liia neighborhood, and on the 1st of October last he wrote us 
Y /jli that all are enthusiastic over it, as sown on the same day with the Silver Huh it 
~ ripened a week sooner, and yielded almost as much agj.in. To show what a 
yielder it is, wo may mention that one grain was planted in a garden, and 
from that was obtained 850 ripe kernels. This variety can be planted 
as far north as Now Hampshire. Price, 35 cents per lb.; $2 per peck; $7 per bushel, 1 lb. by mail 
for 50 cents.

Tlu* Text by Results. 
When George Stevenson, the inventor of the 
locomotive, was about to start out on bis first 
trip, be declared that the water in his boiler 
carried a power that* would revolutionize tbo 
carrying trade of the world. The same test 
which decided the merits of the claims for the 
powers of steam, is a fair one for to-day. One 
of the most striking of these developments is 
Compound Oxygen. For a while it also met 
with incredulity. The idea that it could l>e 
stored in water and transported long distances 
met with the sumo doubt that had greeted every 
other new statement as to the powers in nature. 
But the same perseverance that hail in so many 
fields won success led to patient endurance of 
the test by results; aud they have made it an 
accomplished fact that oxygen in a compound 
form can be stored away for future use to be 
drawn upon as may be required. Teas of 
thousands uru now living witnesses of this 
truth. The letters received and on file iu the 
office of Drs. Starkey & Palen, No. 1529 Arch 
St., Philadelphia, from their patients, report 
cures iu asthma, bronchitis, catarrh, dyspepsia, 
eczema, epilepsy, dropsy, cancer, hay-fever, 
heart disease, diseases of the eye, of the ear, 
consumption, rheumatism, diseases of the 
kidney, headaches, and other diseases. Nervous 
prostration from mental strain and overwork 
has iu many eases given way to renewed powers 
and enjoyment of life.
