THE RURAL «EW WORKER. 
the average is 96, and it is still higher in the 
Middle States. It is very nearly a full aver¬ 
age in tl e Southern States, except in Louisi¬ 
ana, where the crop has been damaged by 
overflows in low areas. The great loss has been 
suffered in the West, owing to tho drought. 
The injury has been not very heavy in the 
eastern part of the Ohio Valley; worse in 
Michigan, and quite severe in Indiana, espe¬ 
cially in the western part of it. In the drier 
sections farther west the damage has been still 
heavier; but abundant rains of late may re¬ 
store, at least in part, what has been lost. 
Sweet potatoes make a good sho%v everywhere 
except in some of the Western States, where 
attempts were made to grow them north of 
the 40th parallel. 
The hay crop last year turned out fairly in 
in the West, but w’as generally light through¬ 
out the East. From present indications the 
reverse will bo the case this season. The long 
drought has seriously affected the crop in 
nearly all the Western States. The gist of 
numerous late reports goes to show that the 
crop iu Illinois will be from one-half to three- 
fourths the average yield. It will be equally 
short iu many parts of Ohio, Michigan and 
Indiana. In the East., however, the weather 
has been more favorable. Throughout this 
State the crop, though lighter than it has 
been in some years, will be quite up to the av- 
rage. Along the line of the New York Cen¬ 
tral Railroad it will be fair and of an unusu¬ 
ally fine quality—better iu fact than it has 
been in years. This is also true iu regard to 
Jefferson Comity, one of the great hay sec¬ 
tions of this State. In some of the Hudson 
River counties the crop will be a trifle light, 
but less weedy than it was last year. Favora¬ 
ble advices have also been received from 
Montgomery County, where the crop is de¬ 
scribed as fair. Throughout Long Islaud and 
New Jersey the crop is much better than it 
was last year, and iu some parts it is extra 
heavy. There is also general satisfaction with 
the yield iu the Eastern States, so that it is 
not likely that the price of hay here will be 
materially affected by the short crop in the 
West. One prominent dealer said Wednes¬ 
day that the price would range from £11 to 
$17 a ton all the winter. “ 1 don’t see how it 
can go above the latter figure,” he added, “on 
account of the lot of old bay that is still on 
hand. In one county I know of over 6,000 
tons of last year's growth still in the barns. 
This was kept out of the market by the low 
price that prevailed last spring.” The cur¬ 
rent prices are: No. 1, Timothy prime, per 
hundred, 85c,; No. 2, Timothy, good, 70c. to 
75c.; No. 3, Timothy, 55c. to 65c.; Clover 
mixed, 55c. to 60c.; shipping grades, 50c.; in¬ 
ferior, 80c. to 40c. 
The Department of Agriculture says hay iu 
New England and New York was generally a 
large yield and well secured, though cut 
short in some localities In drought; while in 
others wet weather interfered with harvesting. 
In the Southern States from the Atlantic to the 
Ohio and Mississippi there has been plenty of 
rain. Considerable da 11 tage from Hoods in low 
lands; but generally there have been good 
crops of clover and the various grasses. In 
Maryland, West Virginia, and Kentucky ex¬ 
cellent crops have hi many cases been secured 
in good condition, but a considerable amount 
was damaged by excess of rain before or after 
cutting. In Virginia and Tennessee the pro¬ 
portion damaged was much larger. In all 
these States clover suffered most, and was left 
to rot in the fields in some localities, particu¬ 
larly in parts of Virginia and Tennessee, where 
a fine crop of Timothy was saved in good cou- 
dition I .ess complaint of loss in the (fulf 
States than further north. The Michigan 
crop was cut “considerably” short by drought 
and a number of counties in Ohio had scanty 
crops. Reports from Indiana and Illinois are 
mostly favorable, especially us regards the se¬ 
curing of tho crop. "Some are raising Alsikc 
Clover, it makes excellent hay.” The Wiscon¬ 
sin crop is generally light, but saved in good 
condition. Minnesota hay has “sufferedquite 
severely” from drought, though heavy iu 
“some counties.” “Crop generally good” iu 
Iowa, though light in several counties ami a 
failure in a few. Conditions in Missouri much 
the same as those in Iowa. 
In tobacco there is danger of a reduction of 
one-third in the Atlantic States owing to ex- 
eossive rains. A failure iu Maryland on clays 
and hillsides. In some parts of North Caro¬ 
lina replanting has been done three or four 
times. A good average condition of the crop 
iu Tennessee. Much ruin, followed by drought 
checked growth and weaker.ed the plants in 
Kentucky, causing spindling nud premature 
flowering, Outlook better in Ohio and West 
\ irginia. Cigar leaf looks fairly well in Mas¬ 
sachusetts, but not so good in Connecticut; 
good in Nuw York and Pennsylvania, but suf¬ 
fering from drought in Wisconsin. Abundant 
rains there within the last few days will help 
to improve condition. 
The acreage of buckwheat is nearly the same 
as in 1885, with a slight increase in New York, 
New Hampshire, Maryland, Virginia, West 
Virginia, and Dakota, and a slight decrease in 
most of the Western States. Condition high 
in New York and Pennsylvania; quite good iu 
the Eastern States; but comparatively low in 
the West. 
A telegram from Louisville, Ky., last Mon¬ 
day, says there had been a sharp advance in 
hams in the past two weeks and a rumor gained 
circulation on Monday that MeFerran, Shall- 
cross & Co. had bought all in that market. 
The firm admitted that they held nearly all 
the stock there, and said Armour had all in 
Chicago and that there were no large lots in 
St. Louis, Kansas City nor Cincinnati. These 
cities, especially St. Louis, had been buying 
heavily iu the Louisville market. The linn 
denied any attempt to “corner” haras, and at¬ 
tributed the scarcity to the cheapness of hams 
early in the season, causing a heavy consump¬ 
tion, aud to the summer packing not yet hav¬ 
ing gone upon the market. 
The official return of exports of breadstuff's 
from the principal ports, which report in the 
aggregate about 98 per cent of the entire ex¬ 
ports of bread stuffs from the country, is not 
quite os encouraging for July as it was for 
June, but shows a decided gain, nevertheless, 
in comparison with last year. The exports of 
wheat aud flour were equivalent to 10,915,113 
bushels of wheat, against 6. ”87.574 in July of 
last year, which is a good beginning for the 
new crop. It may be noticed, also, that’wbile 
tho shipments from the Pacific coast were 
nearly 60 per cent greater than those of July, 
1885, those from the Atlantic coast were about 
77 per cent greater. The decline in prices 
seems to have been rather greater on the 
Pacific than on the Atlantic coast, for the 
average export price for July from Atlantic 
ports was 96.9 cents per bushels last year, and 
only 86.8 cents this year, but it was 85.9 cents 
from the Pacific ports last year and only 74.8 
cents this year. The movement of corn was 
smaller than a year ago, and there was a spec¬ 
ially largo decline in oats and oatmeal. The 
value of all breadstuff's exported in July was 
$11, 570, 049 this year against only $.s, 721, 811 
last year. 
There is a good deal of talk just now of the 
range of prices of farm products at present 
and “before the war.” Iu making a compari¬ 
son, the period taken should be just as far be.

Latest Rrif.fs.—W ool is quiet and un¬ 
changed from last week. Buyers are holding 
off, and transactions are smaller than one year 
ago. Light-weight goods, on which prices of 
raw wool are asserted to depend, are no higher. 
The speculative wheat market is being in¬ 
fluenced chiefly b> the increased sales for ex- 
jxvrt, backed by renewed advices of short crops 
abroad ; consequent rise in price every where 
of from J■,c. to Jo. Indian corn is quiet and 
lower, with an improved crop outlook. Hog 
products are featureless, except lard, in which 
there is an effort to corner the product for 
September, which results iu u fictitious ad¬ 
vance. The extreme heat 1ms not been favor¬ 
able to the cotton plant in Louisiana aud 
Alabama. Tho prospects are not so bright iu 
Texas for a like reason. Sales of tobacco at 
Now York are more active at unchanged 
prices. The Western tobacco markets are 
dull, raius having ‘ benefited the crop. At 
San Francisco 2,000 tons of wheat changed 
hands Thursday afternoon. There has been 
an advance of 9' 4 c. a cental during the week.

We do not claim that Hood's Sarsaparilla is the 
only medicine deserving public confidence, but 
we believe that to purify the blood, to restore and 
renovate the whole system, it is absolutely 
unequalled. Tho influence of the blood upon 
the health cannot be over-estimated. If it be¬ 
comes contaminated, the train of consequences 
6y which tbe health is undermined is immeasur¬ 
able. Loss of Appetite, Low Spirits, Headache, 
Dyspepsia, Debility, Nervousness and other 
••little (?) ailments” are the premonitions of 
more serious and often fatal results. Try
