IfoT since the demonetization of silver in this country by the laws of 1S73, and the stoppage of free coinage in France and a limitation on the legal tender quality of silver to f 10, says the Titts- bJrg W, has the white metal received such a blow lietween the eyes as in the order of the British government stop ping the free coinage of silver at the Indian mints. This leaves the 1'nited States and Mexico the sole great pur chasers of silver bullion in the world for minting pur-rows. I'nder the Sherman liw we are Iround to take " 1,000, (MM! ounces a month.

India hith erto has Iveen on the silver basis, and its change to a mixed or gold basis, the lat ter said to Irecertnin in the future, leaves the United States "solitary and alone" with Mexico to tight the battles of the silverites- The Brussels conference will hardly meet again, as there would U no use in the face of this decision of the British government. It held the key to anv solution that would strengthen the falling fortunes of silver. The United States has !een decidedly in the dumps on the silver question. Other nations have got the Iretter of us, and the only way to get out of the bog is by the rejieal of the Sherman law. The end of free coinage in India will proba bly make this absolutely certain at the approaching session of Congress.

Oats have l-et-n damaged by the drought, but may pick up if the weather is cool and wet. What corn there is is good, but in every Held many hills and stalks are missing. This is due to the early cold weather and tin worms later on. Potatoes are slow, es pecially the early varieties. Bugs have eaten the tops very generally.
