THE BRITISH CROP OUTLOOK.

The Mark Lane express, in its weekly review of the British grain trade, says : “Where the wheat crop is bad, it is very bad. Where it is good, itis barely good. The average yield is not expected to ex- to the acre,

The growth of root crops, including pota- toes, has been favorable lately. The show-

Phere will probably be a very fair second hay crop and improvement in the pastures. There is a reduced demand in the market for all sorts of feeding stuffs. The sales of English wheat included new samples. The first sales were made at 30s. per quarter, tu’ later there were transactions at prices

Character in Gait.

Gait is an important part of physical ex-

pression. By his gait a man tells us whether he is fresh or tired, strong or

feeble, in good health or in bad. To some extent also gait denotes occupation. The upright and somewhat rigid walk of the soldier differs largely from the rather roll- ing gait of the sailor; and different from both of these is the slow, jolting gait of the country laborer, which, however, is partly accounted for by his clumsy and heavy boots. In the peculiarities of gait, attentive eve nany qualities. “Slow steps, whether or short, suggest a gentle or reflect- ive state of mind, as the case may be; while, on the contrary, quick steps seem to speak of agitation and energy. _ Reflee- tion is revealed in frequent pauses, and and for- ward, the direction of the steps wavering and following every changing impulse of the mind, inevitably betrays uncertainty, hesitation and indecision.” It might task too curious a knowledge to distinguish by

TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.

New York, Aug. 6.—Notwithstanding the fact that the Canadian banks have im- portant connections and large interests in this country and the sympathetic affect of the money stringency here has been more or less felt in Canada, the suspension of the Commercial Bank at Winnipeg is the single failure in the Dominion during the present depression, against 105 failures of national banks in the United States re- cently reported by Mr. Eckels, comptroller of the treasury in Washington. Upon he- ing asked to what he attributed this st i<- ing contrast, Mr. Waler Watson, of the branch in this city of the Bank of Mcn- real, said to-tlay :

“As the best minds in the United States are now with practical unanimity ascrib- ing the causes of the American monetary crisis largely to that experiment in bi- metallism embodied in the Sherman Sil- ver Purchase Act, there can be no indel- icacy in saying that I thoroughly agree with them. As agood many of your best minds are also in part attributing the state of affairs to the very high protective tariif policy of the United States, I similarly need not hesitate to declare that I agree with them too. Undoubtedly your silver legislation has been the principal reason of your financial plight, and quite as unques- tionably your steep tariff has been a sub- sidiary reason.

Wasninetox, Aug. 8—There is the usial personal interet on the part of members of the house in the committee of assignments of themselves and their friends. There is the additional interest involved in the proposed reorganization of the leading commitiees and redistributing tie chairmanships, but it is not regarded by any one likely that the chairman of the coinage committee, for example, will affect the action that committee will take.

Back of all this is a general purpose on the part of the managing men in both h ues to support the adm/ni tration in this time of testing for the democratic party.

It onghe to be added that the republicans g-nerally are desiron< of contributing to th» solution of the pending question. Mr. Reed’s caucus speech is not tu be construed as indicating otherwise, he and the other leaders insist.

The Republicans c'aim that they will not p'ay polities this time.

One of the larges: items of expenditure for the extra session will be the publica- | tion of the Congre=<ional Record. To issue this daily chronicle of legislative doings about $15,000 a month. every thirty day it uses up 35,000 poun of paper and more than 100 pounds of ink, not to mention half a barrel of flour for binding paste, and an average of 15 packs of gold leaf for the titles and orna- mentation of bound copies.

The writing of the Record during the session beginning Aug. 7 will cost nothing extra. Ten men are employed to do all of this work at annual salaries of $5,000 each, They are obiiged to labor very hard while congress is sitting, but they have long vacations to make up. Ordi-

narily they have from March 4 to the following December in every other year entirely free, meanwhile drawing their $416 a month regu-

larly. But this year they will be compell- ed to return to their desks in midsummer, owing to the President’s proclamation, It naay be safely said that nobody is more disgusted thaa they at Mr. Cleveland’s | summons. However, the chaplain of the House and the chaplain of the Senate, who | only receive $900 per annum, are in a sim- | ilar fix. They must contribute just so many extra prayers for no additional re- | muneration. | Congress, while in session, spends about $25,000 a month on the printing of bills | and joint resolutions. This inay be reck- | oned as the largest item of expenditure in- | volved by the extraordinary sitting.
