differences between the Illinois Live Stock 
Producers’ Association and the freight 
agents of the roads in that. State were amica¬ 
bly settled at Springfield the other day. 
Rates were made $25 a car on stock from all 
points in Central Illinois to Chicago; $30 when 
the car is returned with stock.Dur¬ 
ing the first half of the present summer sea¬ 
son nearly 1,600,000 hogs were received in 
Chicago, of which number, -150,01!) were re¬ 
shipped alive. The packing for the four 
months from March 1, was 1.018.302 hogs. 
The figures, compared with the corresponding 
period last year, exhibit 478,908 decrease in 
the receipts, 218,491 decrease in shipments, 
and 272,838 decrease in packing. During the 
past month 12 regular houses were iu active 
operation, while one year ago no less than 18 
were slaughtering hogs The average weight 
for Juue, 1887, was 229 pounds, the heaviest 
monthly average this year. 
... The annual consumption of wool per cap¬ 
ita is estimated at only 77c. in Italy, 81 in Ger¬ 
many and Spain, 82.25 in England, Belgium 
and Holland; $3.75 in France, and $4.75 in 
the United States. 
It is said that the shrinkage in Western wools 
is generally heavier than last year . 
The purses for the coining Grand Trotting 
Circuit aggregate $149,500, divided us follows: 
Cleveland, $27,000; Hartford, $25,000; Buf¬ 
falo, $24,000; Rochester, $24,000; Utica. $10,- 
500; Albany, 10,500, and Springfield, $15,500. 
.The Ohio Live Stock Commission has 
amended its quarantine rules so as to remove 
the quarantine from the State of Illinois, with 
the exception of Cook and two adjoining 
counties, and has also ordered a quarantine 
against Westchester County, N. Y. 
The army worm has aguiu appeared in Long 
Island, and is doing great damage to the corn 
and cabbage crops.A first petition of 
the German agriculturists to tho Legislature 
for au iuercase of import duties ou agricul¬ 
tural products, bears nearly 20,000,000 signa¬ 
tures, and the agitation is assuming greater 
dimensions everyday .The Post-Office 
authorities have decided that, hereafter, the 
bulletins of the agricultural experiment sta¬ 
tions may be sent free through the mails, un¬ 
der the Hatch Bill. Applications from farm- 
el's should he addressed simply to the Director 
of the experiment station of their respective 
.States, at whatever place it may be located, as, 
“Director Experiment Station, Geneva, N. Y.” 
. Nebraska railroads will collect full 
freight on exhibits to the State Fair at Lin¬ 
coln, but will return the exhibits free, on pres¬ 
entation of certificates showing that they have 
not changed hands at the fair. Tho prepaid 
charges will be refunded by the companies... 
A telegram from Berlin, Wis., says worms 
are destroying the cranberry vines iu that 
section. It is feared the vines will bo perma¬ 
nently injured. One grower who expected to 
harvest 14,000 bushels will not get any.. 
Yesterday a dispatch from Lincoln, Neb., 
says that notwithstanding Nebraska’s rigid 
quarantine, Texas fever bas broken out at 
Tekaman, Burt County, and over thirty cattle 
died ou Thu rsday. It is only known that a 
thousand head of Texas cattle were unloaded 
at Tekaman iu April, getting into the State, 
it is supposed, through the connivance of some 
quarantine official....A large building for a 
National Agricultural Exposition is now in 
process of construction at Kansas City, Mo., 
and will be opened early iu September. Spe¬ 
cial prominence will be given to agricultural 
implements and machinery, but there will be 
ample room for exhibits of all other indus¬ 
tries, and mining will receive particular atten¬ 
tion.... The Treasury Department has decided 
that artificial pot flowers in paper pots made 
of cotton and used as ornaments on stands 
aud window-sills and unfit for millinery use, 
are dutiable at the rate of 50 per cent, ad 
valorem under the provisions for “artificial 
flowers for millinery use.”. 
....The Gram Committee of the New York 
Produce Exchange Wednesday adopted an 
important amendment to its rules, making 
No. 1 Hard Wkeut deliverable on all contracts. 
Heretofore the basis of delivery has been 
No. 2 Red. The change will make it very 
difficult to corner wheat iu this market.. ... 
.Commissioner Sparks, of the General 
Land Office, has received a letter from a land 
entrymau iu Eastern Colorado, stating that 
the drought has already greatly damaged the 
crops iu that section; aud that, if it continues 
much longer, the crops will bo a com¬ 
plete failure ; that insects have destroyed tho 
growiug vegetables, aud that there is abso¬ 
lutely uo feed fur the stock. The entrymau 
states that his neighbors are forced to leave 
their holdings to obtain tho necessaries of life, 
and asks if ttiis absence will operate to defeat 
their claim when final proof is offered. The 
Commissioner’s answer is important us indi¬ 
cating the policy of tho General Land Office 
with respect to these cases, of which it is 
stated there are a large uumber in different 
parts of the West- The Commissioner says : 
“ Settlers who are obliged to leave their 
claims on account of the drought should be 
prepared to account for their absence from 
this cause when they make final proof ; but 
in such cases proof should not be offered until 
the law has been fully complied witji after 
their return to the land. An enforced ab¬ 
sence on account of climatic reasons will not 
imperil the claim if the fact is established 
when proof is made, and if proof is not at¬ 
tempted to be made in advance of the time 
when the residence, improvement and cultiva¬ 
tion required by law can be satisfactorily 
shown.”. Seven milk dealers here were 
hauled up by the Dairy Inspectors at one of 
the eight police courts Thursday. Charge 1, 
“Added 14 per cent.of water to the milk”; 
answer, “I sell it as I get it.” Charge 2, 
“Added 7 per cent, of water and removed 19 
per cent, of fat”; answer, “Guilty.” Charge 
3, “Added 11 per cent, of water ’; answer, 
“Don’t know anything about it.” Charge 4, 
"Skimmed aud watered the milk.” “Not 
guilty, and demand an examination.” Charge 
5, “Removed 88 per cent, of fat from the 
milk.” "I have nothing to say.” Charge 6, 
“Added 9 per cent, of water.” “Sold just 
what I bought.” Charge 7, “Added 9 per 
cent of water.” “ I don’t know nothing 
about the matter.” All held for trial under 
$300 bail.... The new arrangement between 
tbe Southern Pacific Railway and the Erie 
Express for transporting fresh fruits from 
California to New York provides that if the 
transcontinental lines deliver to the Erie Ex¬ 
press at Chicago five cars or more, the express 
company will run them on special time, not 
over thirty-six hours being taken for the haul. 
If less- thau five cars are delivered, they are 
to go through on the passenger train leaving 
Chicago in the morning. The through rate 
will be $400 a car, and the Erie express will 
accept as its proportion 25 per cent., or $100 a 
car. California fruit growers say this “will 
give a fair profit to grower and dealer.” Any 
number of men at teu different points in Cali¬ 
fornia can load ten cars with green fruits and 
ship them to as niatiy different consignees as 
they please, provided they ship them in care 
of some one man, aud thus get the benefit of 
the special fast-timo rates.... 
....St. Louis is excited over the discovery 
that tbe cows in several large dairies which 
supply the city with milk are afflicted with 
pleuro-pneumonia .The torrid suu 
is forcing many New Jersey farmers to rush 
harvest work by moonlight. . Mr. 
James S. Richardson of New Orleans, the 
largest cotton planter in the world, has this 
year 38,000 acres in cotton and 7,000 acres in 
corn .. 
Crops < 5 c iVUrkcts. 
Saturday, July 9, 1887. 
The Mark Lane Express says of the British 
gram trade: Under unbroken drought the 
wheat crop promises above the average and 
of an exceptionally fine quality. All other 
crops iu good soil look remarkably well. 
Spring-sown crops in poor lauds arc* wither¬ 
ing. Trade iu native wheat is growing 
worse. Iu Loudon there is scarcely any offer¬ 
ing, yet sales are only Is decline. Sales of 
English wheat during the past week were 15,- 
097 quarters at 35s, against 30,243 quarters at 
31s the corresponding week of last year. 
Flour weaker owing to plentiful supplies. 
Trade in foreign wheat decidedly slow. Aus¬ 
tralians aud Atnoricau red winters are down 
Is. Linseed 3s lower. 
Reducing flour to its equivalent iu wheat, 
the exports of the United States for tho fiscal 
year just closed amounted to just about 154,- 
000,000 bushels. This is much the largest 
total for any year since the one that ended in 
the middle of 1881, for which the aggregate 
was some SO,000,000 bushels greater. 
Exports of wheat and of flour as wheat 
from the United States aud Canada, for twelve 
months ended in July 2, 1887, as shown by 
commercial reports, aggregated over 159,000,- 
000 bushels, or 5,000,000 bushels more than the 
government reports, exclusive of Montreal 
shipments. Foreign shipments of wheat (and 
flour) weekly are are about 3,000,000 bushels, 
twice as much as a year ago. The visible 
supply of wheat increased over 14,000,000 
bushels from July 10 to September 4, 1880, 
but promises to decrease now for several 
weeks to come. 
Crop reports have depressed corn, and the 
export demand for wheat has stimulated 
prices of wheat but moderately. Ckieugo 
grain carriers have secured a good share of 
stock there for the profit of storing it. At 
Chicago the pork corner is dead,but mess pork 
is held at $15 to $10 for cash. Lard and short 
ribs are depressed by lower prices for hogs, 
liberal stocks and free speculative offerings. 
Wool is unchanged at the East, with manu¬ 
facturers not specially active, according to 
Bradstreet. The year’s clip is generally out 
of growers’ bands, except in Ohio. At Louis¬ 
ville and St. Louis prices are one cent, per 
pound less than three weeks ago, and at Chi¬ 
cago the decline is greater. Cotton is one- 
eighth of a cent lower on weaker foreign ad¬ 
vices and good crop prospects. Probably 
10,000 industrial employees are idle through 
shutting down of mills for brief periods, as is 
usual as this season, and owing to strikes.
