Porators.-—Reports frow all sections of the « ern states aunounce tual the potato crop i+ very light,jand thatin quality the rop is alsc deficient. Reports from the leading potato-growing states show theyield to ve 177,000,000 bushel ayaine( 245,000,000 in 1896 and; 286,000,- G00 i: 1895. The potato market in Bos-

ton is very firm, and ,indications point to steas. ly rising prices for some time to come

The rt and the blight are heid responsible for ueariy the enure shortage. Keports from wviher parts of Canada say that

while tue orop is not as large and in previ- ous yrars, the average yield is far abead of that » the States. Reports state that the farmers are experiencing some trouble with rot, due to wet spirng and summer. From the pre-ent outlook those that have sound potatoes will, do well not to dispose of them just yet. The P. E- Island crop has begus .o come on the Boston market in spite ot the heavy duty, and is selling fairly weil. In this city, there are a good many potatoes movisg, and some ship-~ ments are being made to Nova Scotia and American ports. The price Lere ranges from 22c to 26c pergbushel, and in Mon- tague «s high as 28c is given.

In Montreal Canadian pork is quoted at $15 to $16 per barrel; pure Can~ adian lard, in pails, at 74c to 8c and com- pound refined at 54c to bjc per Jb; bams, 12c to l4c; bacon, 12c to 13c per ib. The Chicegy provision market was weaker and prices for pork declined 5c to 74c, closing $7 77), October, $7.82} December, $8.75 January.

Dainy Propver.—The Montreal Gazette reports that cheese does not seem to have avy bottom at present for prices continue to recede in @ manner that is unprecedent- ed, when it is considered that the fall eheese is being offered, Values on western makes are purely nominal, but buyers claim that ifthey had the orders they would have no difficulty in finding sellers willing to make substantial concessions even from present prices for the sake of realizing as Boop as possibl>,

It’s the best thing for the hair under all circumstances. Just as no man by taking thought can add an inch tu his stature, so no preparation

can make hair. The utmost that can be done is to pro- mote conditions favorable to growth. This is done by Ayer’s Hair Vigor. It re- moves dandruff, cleanses the scalp, nourishes the soil in which the hair grows, and, just as a desert will blossom under rain, so bald heads grow hair, when the roots are nour- ished. But the roots must be there. If you wish your hair to retain its normal color, or if you wish to restore the lost tint of gray or faded hair use

DREAM DROVE’ HIM TO SUICIDE,

Whiting G, Miner was Disappointed Be- cause it Did Not Prove True,

Disepointment because a dream did not prove true caused Whiting G. Miner, of Falle Village, Coonectcut, fio take his life. Mr. Miner, who was ninety years old, was one of the best known and most highly esteemed men in Northwestern Connecti- cut. Hewas born in Canaan, and for several years was & blacksmith there. Later he went into the mecrantile house in Winsted. His brother, Hugh H. Miner. was with him at the time.

On retiring from active business Mr Miner and his wife lived with their son, whowas a clothier ia Winsted. When both wife and son, as well as his brother, were dead he removed to Falls Village to end hie days with his daughter in law Mrs. Julia Miner. That was about nine years ago. The new home was bright and genial. Mr. Miner was a member of the Congregational church and one of its most energetic supporters.

No one would ever have thought Whit- ing G. Miner would témmit suicide. Of Jate years he had suffered somewhat from general debility, consequent upon old age, but he was very patient apd cheerful. This morning at breakfast, however, he appeared considerably depressed and un- happy. After much urging he related, with choking voice, a dream he bad during the night.

“[ thought,” eaid he, “that I was well again, bearty and vigorous, and @ care to no one. My family were ali around me and we were happy. WhenI awoke and found it was all a dream, and I wasn tany better than I was last night, it didn’t seem as though I could have it so.”

His dangh'‘er-in Jaw did what she could to comfort the old man, after which she went about her work, giving the matter no more thought. Attwo o’clock that afternoon she went to hie room to see why he did not come to dinver. When she opened the door she saw him lying across the bed, dead, with a little blue mark on bis temple, hardly larger that a pin. By his side jay a small pistol and it was apparent he had brooded over the con'raet between hie dream and life’s reality until he putanendtoit all. The pistol was so small that she had not heard the re- port.

Coroner Higgins was aummoned and ceclared in a case of suicide.

There is a bolero jacket of velvet, and the shoulders are covered by a little velvet cape with silk ruffles. Ruffles lined with crinoline are set up around the back of the neck around the outside of the dress.

Among the popular materials for house dresses are india silks and fou- lard. These fabrics will be worn until

late in the autumn, and a goodly num- ber have been ordered with an eye to indoor wear throughout the season.

Gray is one of the fashionable colors and is used in every tint and tone as well as every imaginable fabric. It is almost always possible to make it up with some color that renders it becom- ing to those who could not wear it alone.

Clan plaids are popular, and almost every stylish young woman has one or more waists made from these extreme- ly serviceable and reliable materials. Made in good quality, any one of the genuine tartaus is well worth the mon- ey one puts into it.

A stylish hat is made of basket braid. The edge is trimmed with a very close- ly shirred edging of lace or silk muslin. Above this is a row of fancy braid. Around the crown is a scarf of soft silk, and wired bows are set up at one side of the back.—New York Ledger.
