es | ' . \ (From Montreal Gazette 27th att )

The receipts of grain in Montreal for week ending to-day (Saturday, 25th ult.) exhibit a decided improvement upon those of the past three weeks, the total quantity received amounting to 781,945 bushels, against 457,400 bushels for the week pre- vious, and 767,788 bushels for the corres ponding week last year. The receipts of wheat as compared with last year show a decrease of 300,480 bushels, those of corn an increase of 259,509 bushels ; of peas an increase of 99,015 bushels ; and of oats a decrease of 22,519 bushels. From January Ist to date, the tofal receipts of grain at this port foot up to 14,983,818 bushels, as compared with 12,487,711 bushels for the corresponding period last year, showing an increase of 2,496,107 bushels. The shipments of grain for the same time were 16,041,661 bushels, against 11,454,556 for the like period in 1879, being an increase of 4,587,105 bushels. The British wheat markets Were firm to-day, while in the West an easier feeling was developed, No 2 spring wheat in Chicago closing at 902¢ October, 9igc and 91}¢ November.’ Corn was jc and jc lower at 392c¢ October, 4026 November. Oats were ic and } lower, closing at 28$c¢ October, 28}3¢ November.

Pork closed) in Chicago to day (Saturday, 15th ult.) at $18September and October, $1275 November. Lard was quiet at $7.875 October, $7.82 November. The receipts of pork in this city during the past week were 1,039 bbls, against 18 bbls for the same period last year. The following e

it will thus be seen that mess pork is now $5.00 and $5.50 dearer than at this time last year, while lard is 2}c@2se per ponnd higher. ‘The demand for pork, although lessened by high prices, is sufiicient te bring onfurther suppliesfrem the West, and sales of both thin and heavy mess transpire at within the range of our quota- tiens. A moderately fair demand for lard is reported at 12c per lb for Fair- banks’ pails, an occasional small lot being placed at 12}c. Canada lard sells at like. In smoked hams and bacon there is very — little bnsimess,—_ the market being pretty well bare of stocks. The egg market is quiet but very steady at 14c@16e per dozen as to quality. Another advance in prices has taken place in Boston and New York, quotations for Canadian eggs in the former city being 19e@195c, and in the latter 20c @ 205c. Last year, at this date, eggs were selling here at lGc. Ashes are steady at $4.60 @ $4.70 per 100 lbs for pots.

A Successful Fruit Grower.

SOME FACTS THAT P. E. ISLAND FRUIT GROWERS MAY READ, LEARN, MARK AND INWARDLY DIGEST. ;

Mr. 8. C. Harlow, of Bangor, a contribu- tor ab the recent fair in Lewiston, exhibited eighty varieties of apples, eight of pears, and six of grapes. Mr. Harlow runs a farm of twenty acres, three of which are in orchard. From the apple trees in this patch he will this year derive 250 bushels of apples. How he gets so good a crop is described by himself in the Bangor Whig as follows : ‘‘T have a muck lot from which I draw largely and combine’ that with stable manure, and use this compost for top dressing. i also use wood ashes and a iimited quantity of salt as a top dressing yearly, I use from one to four quarts of salt to each tree; latter quantity would be largedressing for even a largetree. | spread the dressing all abontunder thebranches of the tree and four or six feet beyond. One mistake often made is in placing the dress- ing too near the trunk of the tree. The roots extend beyond the branches and the dressing should be applied “as far as the roota extend. I use every spring from four quarts to a bushel of wood ashes to each tree, according to size. The most import- ant thing [I can say is that the coedling moth is rapidly on the increase and is the greatest obstacle which we have to contend with. If we could be free from its ravages, our fruit crop would ve worth five or six times as much as at present. United effort is needed to contend with this enemy. There has been a marked increase of the worms of the codling moth the past season, The most successful method of contending with them is yet to be discovered. In my orchard I intend to pick up and feed out all my worniy apples so as to destroy the worms, and every farmer can do this, or else turn in animals to eat the fruit as it falls. The miller can ‘be destroyed or its progeny may be killed. call for sound apples to ship to Europe. Wormy apples will not do. In regard to plums, I raise twenty-five choice varieties. The only drawback to plum culture is the

Miscellaneous.

Tue statement which recently went the rounés of the press in connection with the ex-empress Eugenie’s visit to St. Helena, that Longwood House, the residence oecu- pied by Napoleon i has been converted into stables, granaries, ete , does not apply to the house at the present time. The place was at one time devoted to such ruinous uses, but in 1868 Lonis Napoleon bought the house and had it thoroughly repaired, all the parts being restored to the exact condition they were in when the exiled em- peror died, and the estate has been in the care of resident French officers ever since. It is now the property of Engenie.

Students of Grecian history will be in- terested in this remarkable item :

** An archeological discovery of immense interest, nothing less than the finding of the bodies of some of the Theban Holy Band, who, three hundred strong, were annihilated by the Macedonians at Choro- nea, B. C. 338, is announced from Greece. The bodies of the dead heroes are admir- ably preserved, and ranged in parallel rows of forty each, the wounds which proved fatal to the gallant Thebans being clearly discernah'e ins every case. The bodies were found about four metres uncer ground, beneath the ruins of a colossal memorial lion—the Lion of Cheronea.” ‘

Aw ALLIANCE OF IsLam AGAINST CHRIST- eNDOM,—It is stated that six native Hin- does, of high caste and great influence among their compatriots, are at present at Constantinople, the guests of the Sultan, who is greatly given to private connciis with them, the Grand Vizier and other Ministers assisting. The rumor is that these Asiastic emissaries have visited Constanti- noyle to confer with his Ottoman Majesty as to the feasibility eof an alliance of all islam in Europe and Asia against the aggressions of Christendom, as marked out in the Berlin treaty. The Sultan is in the Mahommedan world what the Pope is in the Roman Catholic.

The Howgate Expedition has completely collapsed, the steamer ‘‘Gulnare’ not get- ting beyond the seventieth parallel of lati- tude. From the date of leaving St. John’s till the 9th of August, a succession of minor disasters pursued the steamers At Disco, fifteen days were spent in repairs, and from

St. John’s to Diseo there was 4» suceession of strong gales, washing the deck load over

and inflicting considerable damage on the hull. The time lost at St. John’s and Dises is mainly the reason why the ‘* Gul- nare”’ did not pierce beyond the seventieth parallel. In any case, the ve was.

tally unequal to the task. After ropa Disco the ‘* Gulnare” proceeded to where there is a coal: formation, Du outcrop was insignificant. The “ Gulnave was then headed south and the expedition abaudoned. Dr. Pavy, the naturalist, was left in Greenland, where he will winter. The whole ship’s company are in good health and suffering nothing more sericus than disappointment. As svon as repairs are effected the vessel will proceed to, the United States. The officer accompanying the expedition states that the lumber in- tended for the house to accommodate the party to be left in the Arctic regions was washed overboard. He says the reasons for his return are the luss of stores for a per- manent party, the damaged condition of the vessel, and the lateness of the season.

Half a century ago Nicholas, Emperor of Russia, was the youngest of the crowned heads of Europe, (Donna Maria, then in her 14th year, not having yet been recog- nized as legitimate Queen of Portugal.) He was at that time thirty four years old, tall, handsome and accomplished, and had already shown sigus of that passion for enlargement of territory which eventually brought him toa premature grave, after lisappointment and serrow. Louis of Bavaria was in his forty-fifth year, and was in the enjoymentof aconsiderable reputa- tion asa man of letters, having recently pub- lished avolumeofpoems. Ferdinand VIL, of Spain, was only a few months older, than the monarch just mentioned. Next in seniority was Mahmoud, Sultanof Lurkey, justa year older than the preceding, but, notwithstanding his brilliant eyes and striking figure, looking much older. Fran- cis of Austria and his namesake of Naples were bothin the fifty-third year of their age. Louis Phillippe, just raised to the throne by the revolution which exiled Char- les the Tenth, was inhis fifty-eighth year, and William the First, who had just lost his Belgian domain, was about ayear older than the preceding Prince. The King of | Prussia, Frederick William I11., was in his |sixtieth year, and Frederick the Sixth, of Denmark, was sixty-two. Felix, of Sardi-

aud William the Fourth, of England,

| nia, |who had just ascended the throne, had just /numbered sixty five years. Bernadotte, | the only one of Napoleon’s royal creations who retained his sovereignty, was sixty-six, | while His Holiness Pope Piusthe Eighth ‘was sixty-eight, and Charles the ‘Tenth, who, before his departure from Paris, was the oldest monarch in Rarope, was seventy- three years old. ;
