posed city ordinance which provides that all 
green produce, covering vegetables and fruits 
displayed for sale, shall be sold by weight in 
packages upon which the weight shall be plain¬ 
ly marked. Seedsmen strongly object to such 
a measure.Exports of live cattle and 
dressed beef from Boston last week amounted 
to 1,560 head of the former and 1,156 quarters 
of the latter. Among the exports of New 
York week before last were 1.329 live cattle, 
8,780 quarters of beef and 133 sheep, against 
427 live cattle, 4,220 quarters of beef and 34 
live sheep same week in 1887.The spring 
meeting of the Pennsylvania State Board of 
Agriculture will be held at Warren, Pa., June 
12, 13, and 14 .Consul Lewis, of Lisbon, 
reports, under date of May 10, that Portugal 
has imposed an additional duty on cereals and 
flour not shipped previous to the 4th inst., of 
25 to 30 per cent .... Consul Twitchell, of 
Kingston, Out, reports that during the twelve 
months ended March 21, 1888, leaf tobacco 
valued at $17,250 was imported at Kingston 
from the United States. During the same 
period $11,000 worth of this tobacco was re¬ 
turned to the United States. The tobacco, it 
seems, is foreign tobacco, imported into the 
United States in bond, sent to Kingston in bond 
and then returned to the United States, pay¬ 
ing duty at Cape Vincent. The consul adds 
that he does not understand why it should be 
profitable to bring tobacco from New York to 
Kingston for distribution to the different cities 
of Central New York.That there is a 
very large potato crop throughout the South 
in manifest by the liberal receipts in our prin¬ 
cipal markets at present, the prices being al¬ 
most as low as the figures paid for the old 
stock still offered, Louisiana and Mississippi 
contribute a majority of the receipts. 
OUT OF TUNE. 
Did you ever hear a near neighbor play¬ 
ing on an instrument out of tune? If so, did 
you ever remark, “Why don’t Mrs. Music get 
her piano tuned?” A very natural inquiry. 
But you are in bad health, and allow a more 
valuable instrument, the body which is your 
companion not only in hours of leisure in the 
parlor, but in all sleeping as well as waking 
hours, to remain out of tune, and continue to 
jar on the feelings of all who come into sight 
of you or within the sound of your voice. 
Why don’t you get it tuned? It is surely of 
as deep interest to you as your neighbor’s rat¬ 
tling piano, and when you can do the tuning 
yourself, in a pleasant manner, it is well 
worth while to be in tune, and that without 
delay. One patient writes: 
“Before I had used it a week I began to no¬ 
tice a marked change. That faint, tired feei¬ 
ng which I had for so long, began to disap¬ 
pear, and I began to gain life and animation. 
I also began to notice an improvement in my 
digestion, and I can now eat without the pain 
and distress which have been so troublesome 
for nearly a year,”

Crops k lUarhf.ts. 
Saturday, May 26,1888. 
The Mark Lane Express, in its review of 
the British grain trade during the last week, 
says: English wheat values during the past 
week have been difficult to maintain. The 
demand for flour is small, but the quantities 
now ground locally are so much reduced that 
the provincial markets have raised the price 
of country flour. The hot weather has given 
an impetus to crops, and the barley, oaks and 
wheat fields show an excellent plant. If the 
favorable weather lasts the crops promise to 
be above the average. Foreign wheat is slow 
and unchanged, with the exception of Russian 
which is a fraction cheaper. The excitement 
in the markets of America has not affected 
values here. India is beginning to ship more 
freely. Lower freights are also causing ani¬ 
mation in the shipments from Australia. 
The Signal Service Weather Report for last 
week says: “Reports indicate that throughout 
the Southern States the weather has been gen¬ 
erally favorable for the growing crops, al¬ 
though more rain is needed; the cool nights 
have retarded the growth of young cotton, 
which is, however, reported in good condition. 
In the grain regions of the Northwest and Ohio 
Valley, the cold weather during the week has 
prevented any marked improvement in the 
crop condition, notwithstanding the abun¬ 
dance of rain in these sections. Damaging 
frosts occurred from Michigan southward to 
Northern Alabama. Reports from Minnesota 
state that the weather conditions have been 
generally favorable for crops, though too cold 
for rapid growth. Reports from Kansas, Ne¬ 
braska and Missouri, indicate that the weather 
during the week has been favorable for small 
grain, but unfavorable for corn, vegetables 
and fruit.” 
A dispatch from Fargo, Dak., says: “The 
seeding of wheat in North Dakota is about 
completed under most favorable auspices. 
The weather this year could not have been 
more propitious or the soil in better condition. 
The acreage along the Northern Pacific Rail¬ 
road will be 15 per cent, greater than that of 
last year, while in North Dakata proper it will 
be at least 50 per cent, more than in 1887. 
Oats, in consequence of the large investment 
in stock raising, will be nearly double that of 
last year. The acreage of potatoes and other 
roots and vegetables will be very much greater 
than in the past.” 
Secretary Thomas J. Edge, of the Pennsyl¬ 
vania State Board of Agriculture, from offi¬ 
cial reports from throughout the State,reports 
the wheat crop of 1887 was a partial failure. 
This year the acreage is somewhat increased. 
In condition the crop this year is far above 
last, and unless injured by late frosts a fair 
average crop may be expected. In the east¬ 
ern part of the State the crop will probably 
be above the average of the last 10 years. The 
acreage of corn is slightly increased, because 
some wheat fields were plowed up and corn 
planted. The season thus far has been a fa¬ 
vorable one for corn* The area sown to oats 
has been about the same as usual. The acre¬ 
age of potatoes will be somewhat increased. 
Previous to last week’s cold snap there were 
indications of a large fruit crop. It is known 
that considerable damage was done by the 
frost. The average wheat crop of the State, 
from 1882 to 1887, inclusive, has been 17,654,- 
917 bushels, being 20,300,700 bushels in 1882 
and 13,785,000 bushels in 1887, and 13,325,000 
bushels in 1885, the smallest of the crop in six 
years. 
Condensations from this morning’s Brad- 
street’s: Wheat has been excited, with upwards 
of 50,000,000 in speculative transactions and 
less than 300,000 in cash wheat; it has been up 
and down several times during the week. It 
was $1 to $1.01 for No. 2 red winter wheat a 
week ago, and closed at 97% to 97% cents de¬ 
livered. The export demand is almost entire¬ 
ly checked for cash wheat. Corn has declin¬ 
ed from 68;% to 69 cents for No. 2 mixed deli¬ 
vered to 66% to 66%c. delivered, No. 2 mixed 
oats a week ago were 39% to 40 cents, and 
closed at 38% to 39 in elevator, or one cent 
decline in the week. Flour on high grades is 
about 10 cents cheaper in the week, while all 
low grades are very strong. Sales for the 
day 14,200 barrels, and for the week nearly 
89,000 barrels. The exports from Atlantic 
and Pacific ports for the week ended May 25, 
were equal to 1,473,575 bushels wheat and 770, 
953 bushels corn, against 1,695,508 bushels 
wheat and 404,971 bushels corn. Private ca¬ 
bles the preceding week received here to-day 
state that France is expected to have an aver¬ 
age wheat crop; Russia has good promise of a 
good crop, and in other continental countries, 
prospects are favorable though about ten days 
late. Private dispatches from San Francisco 
state that California is expected to have an 
output of wheat crop as large as that of 1887. 
Canal freights close on corn from Chicago 
to New York via lake and canal at 4% cents 
per bushel, or $1.62 per ton of 2,000 pounds 
for transportation 1,500 miles. 
No activity in any wool market. No pur¬ 
chases whatever are being made by manufac¬ 
turers for future consumption, in view of the 
speedy marketing of the new clip, and the un¬ 
certainty of legislation in Washington. The 
opinion is gaining ground that the present 
Congress will put wool on the free list, if any 
tariff’ legislation at all takes place. Advices 
from Boston say dealers are closing out stocks 
on hand, so that the amount of holdings in 
July aud August is likely to be very small, 
i The Western producers of wool are as usual 
holding their stocks several cents a pound 
above the view so f buyers. The latter from all 
accounts, are much more cautious than for a 
number of years. In Texas representatives 
of Eastern houses are willing to take the clip 
at about 3c. uuder asking quotations. The 
Texas output this year is comparatively free 
from dirt, but will shrink heavily. The Cali¬ 
fornia clip is in good condition, but not so 
bright as last year. The season is late. 
Current quotations in Boston, the chief wool 
market of the country, are as follows, in com¬ 
parison with last year and the year before:

The foreign markets continue active and 
firm. It is thought that speculators are oper¬ 
ating extensively, having in mind the proba¬ 
bility of an advance in case the American 
duties are taken off. 
The week’s packing in the West has fallen 
somewhat below corresponding time last year, 
showing a total of 185,000 hogs, against 205,000 
a year ago. From March 1 the aggregate is 
now the same as a year ago, 1,770,000 hogs. 
Most of the hogs now being handled are faitly 
good in quality, probably well up to the usual 
point for the time of year. There was some 
improvement in prices of hogs in most centers 
subsequent to a week ago, part of which has 
been lost, but the close is generally to 5 to 10 
cents per 100 pounds higher than a week ago; 
at Chicago the average is about 80 cents higher 
than a year ago. 
The Cincinnati Price Current reiterates its 
charge that the results of the last crop reports 
of the Department of Agriculture were com¬ 
municated to Chicago speculators before they 
were given to the public. It exculpates 
Statistician Dodge, but, though it gives no 
names, it evidently indicates Commissioner 
Colmau as the olfeuder. It says it is prepared 
to prove its assertions.
