THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
last March. There appears to be no proof of 
misconduct on the part of the Commissioner. 
If there are any proofs of the kind, he can be 
impeached before Congress, but this will 
hardly be attempted uuless for stronger rea¬ 
sons thau Mr. Reeves’s charges... 
The new Southern Cotton Oil Co. have 
finished their mill at Gretna, opposite New 
Orleans, and are putting in the machinery at 
Houston, Texas, The mill will be finished by 
July t. The mills at Little Rock, Ark., At¬ 
lanta, Ga.. Montgomery, Ala., and Memphis, 
Tenn., are ready for machinery. The Colum¬ 
bia, S. C., buildings will be completed and 
ready for machinery July 20, At Savannah, 
Ga., they have just commenced putting in the 
foundations, and this mill will be completed 
by August 10th. All these mills will be com¬ 
pleted and ready for the new seed. The 
company will, it is said, own their plants clear 
and clean of all debt aud have a large cash 
sinking capital. 
... .The Journal do Comercio, of Rio Janeiro, 
says that on a farm in Brazil where hemp is 
grown, seven large monkeys have been taught 
to cut the hemp and prepare it for sale. They 
work more quickly than the negroes, and 
the cost of feeding the animals is trilling. A 
census terminated throughout Brazil ou 
March 3 last, shows that there are now less 
thau 700,000 slaves in the whole empire. 
Says Frank Siddall, “I inhale Compound 
Oxygen nearly every day of my life; it invig¬ 
orates the nerve centers. My capacity for 
work increases, and also my enjoyment of life, 
I go up to Drs. Starkey & Paleu’s office at uny 
hour that I am able to get away from my 
office. I prefer the morning, for its beneficial 
influence endures throughout the day. Then I 
come straight back and buckle to work again. 
I am a well man now, and continue its use only 
as an invigorator; but both my wife and son 
have taken it (the former for serious com¬ 
plaints) with the most satisfactory results. 
“Dr. Starkey left a lucrative practice to apply 
the fruits of long researches; and if he had ad¬ 
vertised as I have done, he would now be a 
millionaire. But he and his partner. Dr. Palen, 
are well known. Here is Judge William D. 
Kelley, ‘the father of the House of Representa¬ 
tives,’ as he is called. Ask him.” 
“Yes,” said Judge Kelley, “I can indorse 
all that Mr. Siddall has said about the bene¬ 
fits of Compound Oxygen, for it was the means 
of restoring me to health after everything else 
had failed and 1 thought I must die. I had 
frequeut hemorrhages. But Compound Oxy¬ 
gen came to my notice; I tried it and was 
saved.” 
“I have known Dr. Starkey for thirty 
years,” resumed Mr. Siddall. “ He is worthy 
of my most sincere indorsement. But I wish 
he would advertise his great, remedy.” 
Drs Starkey &. Palen,1520 Arch street, Phil¬ 
adelphia, Pa., will send their pamphlet of 
cures and testimonials to anybody who will 
write for it.— Adv. 
(Crops & iitorlifts. 
Saturday, June, 25, 1887. 
The Mark Lane Express of June 22, says: 
“Continued hot and brilliant weather is 
causing wheats to ear in the earlier districts. 
The crop is immensely improved, aud gives 
greater promise than on the corresponding 
date of 1806. The pulse requires rain, but the 
outlook is vastly better than at the beginning 
of the month. Deliveries of native wheat 
are lessening rapidly. Values have fallen Is. 
Sales of English wheat during the past week, 
30,738 quarters at 35s. Id., against 48,176 quar¬ 
ters at 31s. 4d. the corresponding week last 
year. Trade in foreign wheat was almost at a 
stand-still. The break upof the Chicago ring 
made ’it.tle difference in spot values, us sup¬ 
plies at London continued small, but prices 
somewhat m buyers’ favor. There would, 
doubtless, bo a bad break if tt large quantity 
of American wheat should bo sent to la- sold 
on commission. The demand tor flour is re¬ 
stricted, prices somewhat in favor of buyers. 
1 he Agricultural Department of India has 
issued the following report dated Simla, April 
27, 1887, on the est imated outturn of the wheat 
crop in the Lower Provinces. 
Bengal tor the season of 1880-87;—“The cul¬ 
tivation of wheat on a large scale is in the 
Lower Provinces confined to the Patna aud 
Shahabad districts of the Patna dn isiou, and 
to the Bhagulporo and Mongbyr districts 
of the Bhagulporo division. Excessive rain 
during September and October last, made it 
impossible to prepare land for wheat iu due 
time, and the crop has, moreover, suffered 
from rust brought ou by heavy rains iu Jan¬ 
uary. Ou the whole, tt may Is.' said that the 
area sown was less t hau t he normal, aud the 
outturn will be about three-fourths of the 
average.” 
Last Saturday the Chicago Times reported 
crop conditions from 1,1X10 points in the North¬ 
west. Although wheat had been damaged by 
the prolonged drought and intense hot 
weather in some localities, the general pros¬ 
pects were encouraging. There is a largely 
increased acreage, especially iu Dakota, and 
the aggregate yield iu the Northwest promises 
to be the largest ever known. The outlook 
for corn is very favorable, There will be 
short crops of Timothy and flax seed, and the 
barley crop also threatens to be a partial 
failure. 
Prof. Forbes. Director of the Illinois State. 
Laboratory of Natural History, says that 
Southern Illinois is overrun with injurious in¬ 
sects. In some places the Hessian Fly has 
done great damage to the wheat crop, while 
in others the first planting of corn was almost 
wholly taken by cut-worms. In many places 
there has been complaint among farmers be¬ 
cause of dying meadows. One of the chief 
causes of this lias been found to be the pre¬ 
sence of an insert never heretofore reported as 
seriously injurious in America. It is the larva 
of the common, large, mosquito-like crane 
fly, which eats off the grass roots just below 
the surface of the. soil. 
The peppermint growers of Michigan and 
other places complain that so large an acreage 
has be‘ n planted as to reduce the price of oil 
from 88.00 to $2.50 per pound with a pros¬ 
pect of going lower. 
For some time back cotton has been forced 
upward by speculative buying in this country 
and England until it has been beyond spin¬ 
ners’ reach, and exports have been unusually 
small. Mauchester spinners have been reduc¬ 
ing their work as much as possible in their 
fight against the exorbitant rates charged by 
Liverpool speculators in the staple. Heuce 
the amouut of cotton hitherto used in the 
world this year is considerably less than 
would have been the case were it not for the 
action of “cornering” speculators on both sides 
of the Atlantic, and, consequently, a larger 
quantity of last year’s cotton will remain over 
to compete with the next crop. The planters of 
the South will be the chief, if not the only, suf¬ 
ferers, by thisroedition of affairs. The breaks 
in wheat and coffee have had some effect in 
lowering the price of cotton also, but the 
“bulls” are thought to be very strong, so that 
a very had break iu cotton is thought hardly 
probably, especially as the amount, of avail¬ 
able cotton in sight before the next crop comes 
into market is not thought to tie large in com¬ 
parison with the visible supply at a corres¬ 
ponding date in other years. Still, within the 
last two weeks prices of cotton have fallen 
from one half to five-eighths of a cent per 
pound—a considerable drop iu cotton, as the 
valuation in the price of the staple is much 
less than that in cereal and animal products. 
Thursday’s Ciucimiati Price Current says: 
“The total hog packing at the West for the 
week amounted to 200,000 bogs, against 240,000 
the preceding week, aud 230.000 for corres¬ 
ponding time lost year--total, from March l 
to date, 2,625,000, against 2.520.000 a year ago, 
the increase this season being 105,000 hogs.” 
Sales of wheat held by Chicago banks, as 
collateral, have, somewhat depressed prices, 
but the export demand helped offset this, and 
quotations have been reaching up. Brad- 
street's says confidence is growing, but is uot 
fully restored. According to official statistics 
we are using and exporting wheat from re¬ 
serve stocks. Scarcity of grain room alone 
has at times checked exports of wheat. Paci¬ 
fic coast wheat has advanced duriug the 
week. At New York No. 2 Red closes 4lj 
cents below last week, after a break aud re¬ 
covery iu June, with the unsettled feeling 
resulting from financial troubles West. June 
mess pork at Chicago continues cornered at 
$22. The Louisiana rice crop has been im¬ 
proved by rains, and sugar at New Orleans is 
one quarter cent higher, with no stocks. At 
New York sugar is stronger iu tone on better 
demand aud encouraging advices from Eu¬ 
rope, where prices range above domestic quo¬ 
tations. After spurting early m the week, 
coffee has been drifting downward, with re¬ 
duced speculative transactions. The week’s 
decline on spot is 1!, cent. Wool is less ex¬ 
cited at the interior, but seaboard markets 
are strong. Sales have been made iu Ohio at 
last year's seaboard prices. Mills are buying 
sparingly, as woolens continue dull. The de¬ 
cline in imports of clothing wool, during 10 
mouths spued May 31. was 15 per cent., w hile 
increased imports of woolen dress goods 
amounted to li per cent, over a like period in 
preceding year.
