AGRICULTURAL NEWS. 
Saturday, Oct. 23, 188(5. 
The Territory of Montana will send to the 
Eastern markets this year not less than 250,000 
head of cattle and perhaps the number may 
reach 275,000. From 75 to 100 car loads of 
these are beiug shipped d ailv to Denver, Chica¬ 
go aud other cities to the east of the Terri¬ 
tory, and that rate of shipment is to be 
maintained until the elbse of the year. The 
cattle are shipped on the Northern Pacific 
Road on trains made p for that particular 
purpose and moved at the rate of 25 miles per 
hour.Sumac gathering is becoming a 
recognized industry in portions of Virginia. 
This year the quantity gathered is unusually 
large, some gatherers having made $500 each 
by collecting the loaves and branches of the 
shrub, which they call “shomeake.". 
Prominent grape growers of Hammonds- 
port, N. V., estimate that 5*10 tons of grapes 
were frozen on the vines on the shores of Lake 
Keuka Saturday night, when the mercury 
went down to 20 degrees above zero. 
Here is what somebody thought worth while 
cabling yesterday. Two Short-horn bulls, a 
cow and a heifer have been purchased from 
the Queen’s farm at Windsor, and have left for 
the United States, where they are to is? used 
for breeding purposes. Lots of Short¬ 
horn herds in England nu b better than the 
Queen’s-a colored gentleman somewhere in 
the wood pile..The shipments of live 
stock and dressed meats per steamships from 
the port of Bostou for the English markets 
last week, were 1,101 cattle, (54 sheep and 4,024 
quarters of beef.The Governor of West- 
eru Australia has issued a proclamation pro¬ 
hibiting the importation into that colony of 
all cattle, sheep and swine from Great 
Britain or Ireland, or from any other place 
beyond the limits of the Australian colonies 
.A vessel from Montreal, loaded with 
500 cattle sailed last week with a lot of oil 
aboard, to test the claim that, oil poured on 
the ocean when rough will give smooth water 
in which to move. The captain has tried it 
before, with alleged success. At this season 
rough weather is anti -ipated . A com¬ 
pany has beeu incorporated in St Paul, with 
a capital of $1,500,000, which has now under 
construction immense feed stables, slaughter¬ 
ing and packing houses, and other appliances 
for the purpose of accommodating large 
herds of cattle and sheep for feeding, aud 
packing them for shipment.A late com¬ 
putation shows that New South Whales has 
(502,559 cattle which contain some Short-horn 
blood, 178,357 of Hereford, 55,299 of Devou, 
2,745 of Ayrshire, 1,253 of black poll, and 102 
of Jersey. Of this total of 840,385, puro- 
breds number 53,732 head. Beside oil 
these there are crosses numbering 476,980 
.Not less thau 20,000,000 pounds of 
starch are made annually in Maine from pota¬ 
toes.Since January 1 sugar beets have 
l>een imported at New York from Germany to 
the amount of 107,231 tons, against (51.105 tons 
in the same time last year...TheeultL 
vated area of the State of Kansas is estimated 
to be 11,.'552,815 acres. Of this acreage there 
was sowu to w inter wheat, 1,801,151 acres; 
spring wheat, 90,826 acres; com, 5,966,035 
acres; rye, 187,473 acres; flax, 182,100 acres; 
tame grasses of all kinds, 1,034,242 acres. 
The Mark Land Express publishes a table giv¬ 
ing the prices of English wheat in London 
since 1041—a period of 245 years. The highest 
figure was in 1812—$30.30 per quarter (eight 
bushels) and the lowest in 1873—$5.30 per 
quarter. The present price is $7.82 per quarter.

A telegram from San Antonio, Texas, last, 
Tuesday, says those who are best posted on 
the wool market now predict that the season's 
clip will not exceed 3,500,000 pounds, for the 
reason that sheep are not shearing as heavily 
as expected, There was no change in prices, 
and holders were firm. Seven hundred thou¬ 
sand pounds had been received, mid 678,000 
pounds sold at, prices ranging from 10 to 23j t 1 
cents jK*r pound. Growers were well satisfied 
aud much (ewer lambs aud sheep thau usual 
will be killed this season, sous to increase the 
clip next year. 
Here are some Cincinnati Price Current 
figures about wheat: Available surplus of 
previous growth, 25,000,000; crop of 1880, 
455,000,000—total available supply, 480,000,000 
bushels; domestic requirements for food aud 
other uses, 282,000,000, for seeding. 58,000,000 
total, .33 ,000,000 bushels, leaving a remainder 
of 145,000,000 bushels available surplus, by re¬ 
ducing reserves corresponding with the low 
point in t 9 82, or 120,000,000 bushels by reduc¬ 
ing reserves to the same point as at the begin¬ 
ning of the year 
The interruption to hog packing at Chicago, 
owing to the strike, didn’t greatly diminish 
the total packing at the West, as more hogs 
were packed at other points. The total for all 
places in the West was 145,000 hogs for the 
week, against 105,000 the preceding week, and 
105,000 for corresponding time last year. 
From March 1 the total is 5,150,000 hogs, 
against 4,515,000 last year,showing the increase 
to lie 635,000 at date. Present prices of hogs 
at Chicago average elosedy to $4, while bog 
product for January delivery is selling on the 
basis of $3.05 to $3.70 for hogs, as cost. This 
would imply that if values of hog product for 
future delivery do not essentially improve 
hogs should decline 30 to 50 cents per 100 
pounds to afford a margin of profit in operat¬ 
ing. 
The Canadian Agricultural Bureau reports 
the yield of winter wheat at 18,056,000 bushels, 
anil of spring w T heat 6,528,000 bushels, making 
a total of 24,:584,000 bushels, or nearly 4,500,000 
bushels less thau the average for the last four 
years. The barley crop is represented by 
19,656,000 bushels, or rather more than the 
past four years' average. 
The latest; Wool is easier, with a ten- 
deucy toward weakness. The lockout in the 
knitting mills at Amsterdam and Cohoes, N. 
Y., checks sales and stimulates resales to some 
extent. The labor troubles at the Philadel¬ 
phia textile mills, where a lockout to affect 
75,000 employes is threatened Nov. 3 unless the 
latter keep agreements alleged to have been 
made, promise to become a disturbing influ¬ 
ence. The switchmen’s strike at Minneapolis 
is practically ended, after having delayed 
traffic for over a week. Wheat is firmer and 
higher on a better export demand, and the 
arrival of cold weather will stimulate the hog 
products industry. Cotton is weaker on 
heavy movement of new crop aud pressure to 
sell at the South.
