properly fed, men have to watch while they 
are eating provender. The week before the 
Cooloh races the vermin got into the boxes at 
the station and actually ate the bandages off 
the horses'' legs, while from every side come 
tales of crops devoured so rapidly that many 
fields had to be abandoned, what was left not 
being worth reaping.The Italian con¬ 
tract for Virginia tobacco, amounting only to 
375 hogsheads, has been taken by Mr. M 
Abendheim, of New York city. Dan¬ 
ville, Va., is starting a big leaf tobacco and 
plug factory by co-operation of her 
largest and richest tobacco men.. 
The dressed beef interest of Chicago demands 
the exclusive use of at least 5,000 cars 
built for that especial purpose and used for 
nothing else.The St. Louis Exposition 
will open on Wednesday, Sept. 5. The 
Great Fruit Show will be one of the attrac¬ 
tions.The Farmer of St. Paul, Min¬ 
nesota, will, after the issue of Aug. 81, cease

oceau freight rates on live stock advanced 
from $7.50 to $10.50. and on flour from 
$1.75 to much more than $3.A story 
is current that a huge beef slaughtering 
establishment, with a capital of $3,500,000 is 
about to be fitted up in Pittsburgh, as 
a rival to the Armour concern. 
WIRE NETTING FENCES. 
This style of fencing nas been in use for many years 
in a limited way, but in the last live or six years thou¬ 
sands of miles of it has been put up. It has proved 
to be the best fence for all purposes that has yet been 
tried. Sedgwick Bros., of Richmond, Ind., are large 
manufacturers of these excellent fences, and will 
send catalogues to all applicants, The Rural New- 
Yorker takes pleasure in inviting Its readers to write 
to them, referring to this paper.— Adv. 
Crops & iVlariuls. 
Saturday, September 1, 1888. 
Advices from England say that the English 
and Scotch apple crops are very poor, while 
there is not more than half an average crop on 
the continent. This condition of the crop will 
afford a market for American apples, especial¬ 
ly for good early sorts. Quality, however, 
should be the chief consideration, as anything 
better than another makes a big difference in 
price.The most distressing accounts are 
received of the damage to the crops about 
Petersburg, Va., from the protracted drought. 
In some sections of Dinwiddie, Brunswick, 
Prince George and Lunenburg counties there 
has been no rain of consequence since the first 
of May, and the crops are burning up under 
the scorching rays of the sun. From July 
1 to August 25 of this year there has been an 
increase of 3,34(5,963 bushels in the visible sup¬ 
ply, while during the corresponding time last 
year there was a decrease of 3,840,377 bushels, 
making a relative difference between the two 
years of 7,187,340 bushels. 
As foretold here ttree weeks ago, hops have 
gone up with a rush. Last Thursday C. S. 
Terry, of Waterville, N. Y., sold his 1888 hop 
crop at 25 cents, an advance of 10 cents on 
the pound within one week. 
The latest hop advices from the Pacific 
coast say that advance in area is confined to 
Washington Territory, but that owing to the 
poor outlook enough yards have been plowed 
up in California and O regon, to fully offset this 
increase. Without the recent marked improve¬ 
ment in prices, it is probable that many hops 
would have gone unpicked,aswithin a fortnight 
some growers seeking advances to pay for 
picking could not find parties willing to fur¬ 
nish the money necessary for this purpose. 
With present prospects of remunerative prices, 
picking will doubtless be more vigorously 
prosecuted, but with the hops carefully gath¬ 
ered, there is no likelihood of the yield prov¬ 
ing much greater than last season’s, which ag¬ 
gregated about 67,000 Pales. The conditions 
at this date do not warrant estimating over 
75,000 bales as the 1888 product of the Pacific 
coast. 
VIENNA GRAIN MARKET ESTIMATES.

The prospect for American bean growers 
this season is so good that it may compensate 
them for the poor result of last year, when 
our crop was so deficient that the United 
States had to import over a million bushels. 
The crop is good in Michigan and Ontario and 
fair in Monroe, Livingston and Wyoming 
Counties, N. Y., but has been injured by the 
drought in counties west of this. The weather 
during the next three weeks will decide the 
value of the crop, although the plants may 
now look well, a wet harvest would rust the 
beans and reduce the value of the crop mater¬ 
ially. But the probability is that the crop 
will be a good one, and that the price will be 
from $2 to $2.50 a bushel. 
The Mark Lane Express, in its review of 
the British grain trade during the week, says: 
The state of the weather makes it certain that 
the crop of native wheat cannot come into the 
market in a good milling condition. Values 
are, therefore, daily rising and the country 
markets make 2s advance. The sales of the 
week were 20,647 quarters at 36s Id, against 
35,831 quarters at 30s lOd during the corres¬ 
ponding period last year. Foreign wheat is 
more active. In London prices have advanced 
Is; in Liverpool the dealings have been ex¬ 
cited and prices have risen 6d per cental. 
Flour is Is per peck dearer in both London 
and Liverpool. Corn in London Od dearer, 
and in Liverpool it has advanced 6d per cent¬ 
al. Barleys are 6d higher.
