THE RURAL NEW-/ORKER. 
this has had a strong tendency to lower prices. 
The danger ot yellow fever spreading over a large 
area of the South and destroying business there, 
has the same tendency. Then, again, reports of 
very fine harvests almost all over this country are 
crowding In to heat down the market. The re¬ 
ports from Europe, too, are a trine more favorable 
nearly everywhere, and especially so in southern 
Russia. In that region, although very heavy 
damage was done to crops here and there by 
storms and locusts, still the latest reports arc 
that, on the whole, the wheat crop Is of unusual 
excellence, both In yield and quality. Indeed, In 
view of the enormous harvest, lubor Is so extraor¬ 
dinarily scarce that hands are In demand at two 
and three roubles a day, and the farmers have 
petitioned General Todelben to allow 100,000 of his 
troops to aid In gathering In the crops. He has 
consented, but there is still a hitch In the matter, 
as the commanders of the troops demand for their 
men higher wages than the farmers are willing to 
pay. The matter has been referred to the secre¬ 
tary ot War. An average Russian wheat crop Is 
put down At 240,000,000 bushels, whereas our crop 
last year ran up to 441,000,000, and this year Ills 
now estimated at about 400,000,000 bushels, or, to 
be a trifle more accurate, 395 , 000,000 bushels. The 
latest estimates of the probable Imports of grain 
by European countries are: 
Bushels. 
Great Britain. 120.UUO.000 
France. 1U0,000,000 
Mediterranean countries, including Italy. 
Spain and Fort aural . 95,000,000 
Holland. Belgium and North Germany. 25,000,000 
Denmark, Norway and Sweden. . 10 , 000,000 
Total. . 280,000,IKK) 
It will be noticed that this Is considerably less 
than the estimate given here last week; but our 
object Is to keep our friends “posted” on all mat¬ 
ters connected with their Interests. Everything 
considered, there la mighty little doubt but that 
the price of wheat is bound to go up so soon as the 
present flurry Is over. It may not rise as high as 
one might be Justified In expecting earlier in the 
season, but It will rise. So great, however, Is the 
uncertainty now In the wheat market, that farm¬ 
ers and others who are not “on the street,” so as 
to be thoroughly posted, should be cautious in 
speculating In that product. 
The Republican Conventions of Pennsylvania 
and Wisconsin were held on the 23d at Harrisburg 
and Madison respectively. At the former Mr. 
Samuel Butler, of Chester County, was nominated 
for State Treasurer; and in Wisconsin, Governor 
William E. Smith and the present State officers 
were renominated. The platforms adopted and 
the various speeches delivered were eloquent 
rather than precise, which speaks volumes for the 
heroic enthusiasm of the delegates, who evidently 
had a cut-and-dried task to perform. Both con¬ 
ventions afllrmed that the United states are a na¬ 
tion aud not a league; that the Democrats are en¬ 
deavoring now to obtain by “plotting'' what they 
lost In fight; and that the Republican party Is 
charged with the preservation or the nation It has 
already saved. The Pennsylvania platform, of 
course, advocated the continuance ot the pro¬ 
tective tariff, a subject upon which the other 
body was silent. Upon the currency question 
there was very little frankness shown In either 
convention. In Pennsylvania the payment or 
the national debt In “ coin” was favored; and In 
Wisconsin a resolution was passed which ap¬ 
proved of a currency “ aueh as we have at pres¬ 
ent." The Butler candidature for the governor¬ 
ship of Massachusetts Is once more making things 
pollticaly lively among the “better-than-thou" class 
In that State. Probably Talbot the present gov¬ 
ernor will be renominated by the Republicans, as 
he appears to have been a fl reunite officer, while 
the bulk of the Democrats will he sure to support 
Ben, although the upper crust will be equally cer¬ 
tain to vote for Talbot 1 u case there Is any dan¬ 
ger of Butler’s election without their support. 
The returns of the foreign trade of this country 
for the last fiscal year show an excess uf exports 
over Imports to the amount of *264,636,603, about. 
*7,000,000 more than last year. The day has gone 
by when the balance of trade Is solely computed 
with reference to the market value of custom¬ 
house exports and Imports, but this excess of the 
former over the latter unquestionably marks a 
year of extremely prosperous trade. The total 
value of exports and Imports together was 
220,894, an Increase over last year of *24,813.654, the 
exports having Increased *15, 000,000 over last year 
and the Imports $8,000,000. The Imports during the 
year amounted to $481,051,532 and the exports to 
*710,428,743. This excess of exports over Imports 
has now been In progress for four years, during 
which It has reached a total of $753, 000 , 000 , a sum 
which has been largely paid us In our bonds. During 
the four years before the panic the excess was the 
other way, the Imports exceeding the exports by 
$423,000,000, a balance which Europe took partly In 
specie. This country exported $238,000,000 ot coin 
and bullion more than It Imported from 1870 to 
1873, Inclusive, and partly in bonds. The great 
mass of the exports ot the country for the past 
year has been, as usual, confined to five articles; 
bread-stuffs, cotton, provisions, mineral oil and 
tobacco, the value of each being in the order 
given. Cotton and tobacco together, the two 
great staples of the South, exceed the bread-stuffs 
in value, but taking the bread stuffs and provisions 
together, the exports of the West are nearly 50 per 
cent, greater In value than the exports of the 
South. The chief changes In the trade of last year 
as compared with the year before are an increase 
of nearly one-third In the wheat export and a fall¬ 
ing off In the cotton and provisions exported. The 
exports of 11 ring cattle have increased In the year 
about 100 per cent. 
FOKKION. 
The Irish Agricultural Statistics Report for 1878 
has just been published and is not, all things con¬ 
sidered, a discouraging document, in the total 
acreage under crops there was Indeed a decrease 
of 61,896, but the yield was better than had been 
anticipated. There was more than usual change 
in the character of the cropping, and a tendency 
observable to return to tillage; but still one-half 
of the cultlvatable surface ot Ireland Is in grass. For 
ten years there has not been any very remarkable 
increase In the extent of grass, A decrease In 
crops during the same time of 25 per cent Is regis¬ 
tered. The small holdings continue to decline In 
number, those not exceeding thirty acres, by 8,120 
In the year, while those above thirty acres In 
creased by 556. The total number of occupiers of 
land In 1878 was 531,442, having been in 1872, 541,- 
838. The Registrar reports an Increased yield of 
cereals In 1878, and also of potatoes, but a decrease 
In flax and I 11 bay. There was a general Increase 
In the produce of the crops. There was a decrease, 
however, In the number of cattle of 12.478, Taking 
the ton years, lsou to 1878. cattle, Increased In num¬ 
ber from 3.733.675 In 1869 to 4,147,102 in 1873, but 
have again decreased to 3.985, 20 In 1879. 
Germany is passing through the most, serious 
political crisis which has overtaken her since 1866 . 
Prince Bismarck, before the adjournment of the 
Reichstag ontheiath tilt., formally broke with 
the National-liberal party In one of his most pow¬ 
erful speeches, and put himself at the head of a 
combination composed or the conservatives and 
Ultramontanes Nor. only has Dr. Falk been dis¬ 
missed. as a sop to the Ultramontanes, but they 
have been further gratified by an agreement that 
alt money over a certain amount rulsed by the 
new protective tariff .shall be divided among the 
separate states, which Is a distinct concession to 
the I’arttcularlst interest, [encouraged by his suc¬ 
cess thus far. the Chancellor now proposes that the 
duration of the Imperial Parliament shall be extend¬ 
ed to four or six years, and Intervals of two yea re 
shall ©lapee between Its sessions, so that the taxes 
will have t.o be voted for two years at Legist, thus 
greatly diminishing parliamentary control over 
the revenues. This proje t, which involves several 
amendments to the Constitution, Is now before a 
committee, and it has tilled the Liberals ot all 
shades with dismay, and the National-liberal par¬ 
ty Is said to he utterly disorganized. Meanwhile 
a settlement has been definitely com© to with the 
Vatican, substantially on the conditions mentioned 
here three weeks ago. 
It 1« a little trouble to examine the 
pamphlet wrapped around each bottle of the true 
Mckhay & Lankan’s Flokida Water, so as to find 
the words “ Lankan & Kekp, New York,” which 
are water-marked or stamped in pale letters on 
every page, hut It Is better to take this small 
amount of bother rather than to be Imposed upon 
by a worthless counterfeit. Every leaf of the 
pamphlet around the genuine has these words In 
in It, which, though pale and faint, cun he easily 
seen when held up to the light, and no Florida 
Water is genuine that does not have this test mark
