Trade Prospects in the States.

Tre New York Herald gives a number of reports and statements which show the present season te be 4 very prosperous one in the ‘protection ruined country.” To fill all their orders, the merchants of New York are, the Herald says, compelled to work night and day. It is believed that most of the improvement may be traced to the success with which the leading crops were harvested ; but various manu- facturing interests are also contributing to this general activity, and the American passion for spending money as seon as it is in hand, is being felt to advantage in al- the minor departments et trade.

Mop

County Exhibitions.

Ix compliance with the wishes of farm- ers and others in King’s and Prince Coun- ties, the Government have, this year, made arrangements for the holding of three Ex- hibitions instead of one. The grant for the purpose is, notwithstanding the depletion of the Provincial Treasury by the late Gov- ernment, as large as it ever was. But there are, perhaps not without reason, some complaints because the in- ducements to exhibitors are not greater. Now, there is no doubt that as agriculture is our chief industry and main support, our farmers should be encouraged to improve their farms, to adopt the best methods of cultivation and to obtain the best breeds of horses, cattle, sheep and other farm ani- mals. They have undoubtedly much to learn ; and undoubtedly much may be learned by means of public competitions. Therefore the annual exhibitions should be made as popular as possible and should be brought within the reach of as many persons as possible. But while they are confined to ene county, it is patent that a very large majority of farmers in each of the other counties can never see them or take part in them at all. True, larger prizes could be given; but this advantage would be more thar counterbalanced by the additional ex- pense and risk of travelling long distances with articles and stock.

We hope that after the Government, by a strict adherence te their policy of economy, succeed in getting the Province out of its present difficulties, much larger granis may be given, and that the annual County Ex- hibitions may be supplemented each year by a general Exhibition held a week or so later, at which all the prize products of the entire Province may be shown.

Russian Crops.

The following is from the Odessa Monthly Corn Trade Report of the 20th ult.

The second moiety of last month had passed in great activity. The demand was great for all cereal articles, of which

maize came in for the largest share. The aggregate sales for July amounted to 400,- 320 urs., against 271,940 qrs in the pre- vious month. The export total is represent- ed by 486,550 qrs., against 694,500 qrs. in June, showing a decrease of 207,950 qrs. The wheat is by ne means a good crop, as everywhere growers are meeting with great deception in the yield, and, what is worse, the continuance of wet weather threatens to deteriorate its quality. In the Governments of Pedolia and Kiev. the

wheat crop is very mediocre in quality, and|®

the same applies to Bessarabia, except a small portion in the north of that Govern- ment, whence no complaints appear to ees. In our immediate environs the

hirkas, as well asthe winter wheat area complete failure, as thore will be barely half of what was harvested last year.

SO

An Improvement in Telegraphy.

4

A remarkable invention or improvement has just been patented in Germany by Prof. Klinkerfues, the principal astronomer at the Observatory of Gottingen, and widely known for his meteorological and physical researches. The improvement now referred to consists of a method by help of which it will be possible to despatch as many as eight different messages along a single wire. An oe has likewise been devised by which all the messages will at the same time be mechanically written down.

ae hao Hl

A Frénoli. cablegram states that in a de- tailed annual statement relative to the French harvest, M. Etienne, the great agricultural authority, says it has been very good in 4 departments, good in 7, fair in 24, poor in 40 and bad in 15. This year’s aggregate crop will be 9,000,000 hecteliters, against 95,000,000 hectoliters last year. This will make necessary the importation of 5,000,000 or 6,000,000 hectoliters.

Sporting News.

Aovatic.—A despatch to the New York Herald of the 20th says Courtney’s health is declining instead af improving. Courtney looks pale and his appearance indicates suffering. He has just experienced a third attack of ague. It is three weeks age to- day since he took any actual practice : but he hopes the indisposition will not last long. He goes to Chautauqua Lake on Tuesday, 23rd inst.

The End of the World.

A lecture delivered at the Berlin Uni- versity some three months ago by Profes- sor Dubois Reymond, bears the ominous title, “The End of our World,” and says that every movement} upon our planet, with the exception of the ebb and fleod, which are caused by the attraction of the moon is occasioned by solar heat. As, however, the sun loses every year a portion of its caloric, science has lately come to the conclusion that he will not exist as an emitter of warmth longer than 17,000,000 years tocome. During that space of time our earth will get colder and colder in propertion as the solar heat shall diminish. The ice will advance from the poles to the equator ; the earth’s popula- tions will gradually recede before the ad- vancing glaciers ; the sun will become less luminous, until he will present the ap- pearance of a dark-red ball; and finally ice will annihilate all vitality on our planet.

Silver in N ew Brunswick.

The St. John Sui says :—-‘‘There is no longer any doubt of the existence of silver in our New Brunswick rocks, and in pay- ing quantities. We have been shown dur- ing the past twenty-four hours some samples of silver-bearing quartz, which at a dis- tance of only twenty or thirty feet from the surface, producer, by care ul assay, about twenty ounces silver to the ton and about 30 per cent. of lead ; and it keeps improv: ing as the shaft is sunk. The ore streak has been uncovered to a width of six feet. The mine is situated near deep water and not very far from St. John city. In fact there is reason for believing that we have in New Brunswick what will prove to be a silver mine of great value. Further par- ticulars will be furnished at an early day,’

Exports of Breadstuffs.

The quantity of flour and grain exported from this continent to the United Kingdom from September Ist, 1879, to September 13, at New York, Boston, Montreal, and other eastern seaboard ports,and at San Francisco to the 5th inst., was as follows: Flour 129,- 278 barrels, v. 78,943 last year ; meal, 75 barrels, v. 263 barrels; wheat, 4,545,971 bushels, v. 4,370,621 bushels; corn, 2,742,- 081 bushels, v. 2, 196,437 bushels, and rye, 18,126 bushels, v. nil, Exports to the European continent in the same time com- prised 5,345 barrels of flour, v. 5,272 last year; 7,734,288 bushels of wheat vr 5,036,- 137 bushels last year. 502,105 bushels of corn v. 95,451 bushels last year; 235,478 bushels of rye, v. 252,690 bushels last

year.

-About Breeds of Sheep.

Medium sized sheap ;with plenty of lean, is what is prized by city butchers. South- downs possess this qualification. Lincoln, Cotswold and Leicester sheep are large and carry much fat. Lincolns have long, rather coarse heavy fleeces. The wool of the Cots- wold is medium in length of staple and in firmness of fibre. The Leicesters have long stapled wool. Oxford-downs are heavy, carry much fat, with medium wool in length of staple and fibre. Hampshire-downs have short strong wool and make good mutton. Shrophshire-downs are smaller than the Hampshire, have finer wool and make bet- ter mutton, and rate next to the South- downs, which make the best mutton, at least to the English taste, and they ought to know. They have rather fine wocl, and wherever mutton is eaten no fault can be found with their meat.

The Manitoba Free Press (Winnipeg) thus compliments its brother pioneer, younger but more advanced, of Battleford, N. W. T. :—**The Saskatchewan Herald has closed its first volume—successfully passing through the most trying period in a news- paper existence. The success which has at- tended our western contemporary, we are lad to learn, justifies the publishers in promising the introduction during the next year of several new features that will make it still more interesting and useful. The Herald is not only creditable to its publishers and the Northwest, but it is far ahead of many of the blanket weeklies of the East for enterprise and industry of its columns. It is deserving of the fullest mzasure of success, and we trust may secure it.” Itis pleasant to read this record not only as indicative of the s,irit of progress which is already bearing such good fruits in the Northwest, but also as significant of the genial good fellowship prevailing among our brethren of the press in those distant comnrunities.

A Good Place for a Town Clock.

T'o the Editor of tie Examiner.

Srr:—I notice in your issue of the 22nd a suggestion in regard to a Clock in the new Tower head of Prince Street. Iam happy to endorse the sentim-nts of that suggestion as the present Clock in the Court House tower is a boon to compsratively few except those (as the writer says) who hear the hammer fall.

One need only see the new tower to admire its adaptedness for a Clock. I for one hope that the suggestion of the writer will be acted upon. Would it not pay to remove the Clock from the Court House to the tower of the Baptist Chapel. As for its present situation it is so hampered up with chimneys etc., that one can scarcely see it (illuminated or other- wise. )

Carelessness.

Oe ee

To the Editor of the. Hxaminer.

Srtr-—I would call the attention of the proper authorities to the manner in which the fune- tionary in charge of the buoys and beacons at Rustico South does his duty. On Friday, the. 29th of August, there was a storm which re- moved the outside buoy more than 100 yards on the flats, and one of the small inside beacons disappeared altogether. The outside buoy was allowed to remain on the flats for a whole week, when, on the 5th of September, Mr. Hall’s fishermen, for their own safety and for the safety of vessels coming in and out of that harbor, with a good deal of labor and inconvenience, removed the outside buoy to its right place; the inside beacon has not ap- peared yet, and this is the 22d of September. Now sir, if the gentleman in charge of that department allows such wanton negligence on the part of one of his servants J am very much mistaken in the man, Yours, etc.,
