disturb it. A Nebraska man agued for 
protection to the beet-sugar industry, and 
predicted that it would outstrip both cane 
and sorghum sugar. The rice-growers of 
the South, the tobacco-growers, and 
the bean growers of Western New York all 
told their wants. The latter want a duty 
of 50 cents a bushel on foreign beans, and 
claim that while it would benefit the pro¬ 
ducers, tne consumers would not suffer. 
The silk-growers also want protection, 
claiming that their industry will be a very 
important one if protected. It is to be 
hoped that a fair and equitable agreement 
may be reached, and the existing uncer¬ 
tainty done away with. 
The Journal of Commerce has compiled a 
comparative statement of the receipts and 
exports of certain articles of domestic pro¬ 
ducts from this port for the three years 
last past. We consider it so reliable and of 
such general interest that we reproduce it.

Crops & fttoriids. 
Saturday, January 11, 1890. 
There is little or no snow throughout 
the winter wheat belt. The season has 
been favorable to growth and there is a 
good stand of wheat, which with the large 
acreage promises well for the next harvest. 
Or course, there is plenty of opportunity 
for injury yet, but with strong, well-rooted 
plants to start the new year, a very critical 
period is passed. The movement of grain 
in the interior is light except in the ex¬ 
treme West where much of the immense 
crop of corn is being moved. 
There is little change in prices in this 
city, except in two or three items. 
Eggs have dropped down to 17>£ cents for 
near-by fresh, and the supply is large. Un¬ 
less general cold weather prevails soon, 
prices will remain low. 
Poultry under the influence of a good 
demand and light receipts, has made quite 
an advance in price both for live and 
dressed. Choice lots are wanted. 
Butted is a little easier, but choice 
brands are not likely to go much lower in 
price in the immediate future. 
Hops have advanced considerably in price. 
The unseasonable weather generally pre¬ 
vailing has had a depressing influence 
upon many branches ot business, and this 
depression naturally extends to the trade 
in farm produce.
