Crop and Business Outlook. ’ Can. wheat’and cotton are our three . greatest crop. in the order named. The -mcrap is loss by 170,000,000 bushels , than itwas in 1893, the estimate for 1804 hing 1,450,000,000 bushels. But to balance this the priceperbnabei is near- " ly 12 cents a bushel higher than it was last year, which makes the 1894 crop worth in round numbers 887,000,000 lace than it was in 1893. The value of the corn raised this year is put at 0840,- 000,000. The wheat crop is immense, esti- mated It 525,000,000 bushels, 125.- 000,000 larger than that of last year. Unlike corn. however, the price of wheat is from 10 to 13 cents below what itwas in 1803. The crop is somuch «l-ger. however. that this difference is 'i ‘mvmd in just the opposite way in which the corn value for 1894 is kept up. Thewheat crop this year is solid . listed to be worth $290,000,000. which i '5 per cent more than its money vainr int year. If the statisticians who com- piledthis estimate had takeniuto ac- count the vast quantities of wheat fed to live stock this you, doubtless the fig- . use would have been still larger. The 1894 cotton crop is one of the hsgest ever grown in America Conse- ' clumsily the price is down. Buthere, 1min, there ieccmpensation. Last year - the average price was 7 cents. This year it will not be quite 0 cents. But the mount for sale isso much larger that nearly as much money will b( rullnd as was done in 1808. The valur of the cotton crop for 1894 is putat ”56,000,000. 0n the whole, whether that is saying much or not, the farmer will come out at least as well in 1894 as he did in 1893. Pork sells lower, but still it holds its own. Exports of the chief American stapler -wbeat, flour, cotton, pork and beef- have increased this fall over thoseof last yearat the same time. but thc prices they bring rule lumen The effect of an exciting election on trade was very manifest.

The Hovas are the strongest. bravest of the Malagasy. They are of almost pure Malay blood and conse- quently little like negroes.

The political campaign this fall was in many of the states one of the most exciting ever witnessed. Yet, on the whole, it was one the states can look back to with satisfaction for one reason if no other. The personal abuse and mud throwing that the followers of op- posing csndidates sometimes indulge in were singularly alsent. The country is to be congratulated that most of the umgressional candidates were men of respectable lives morally. The one most notable exception to this rule was turn- ed down with an emphasis that left no mistaking the sentiment of the commu- nity in regard to the moral character of political otllcere.‘ This is a distinct gain, and theUnlted Btstss is to be mgratuiated on it.

The vest is one of the features of the season and will be more extensively worn than heretofore, if that were malble. Vests with a half low collar and lapels slightly rounded out. with double points and pockets, which are. however. of no use, are the approved models. Many ladies find vests and Waistcoats inconvenient in one respect. Worn under a blazer or jacket without shirt waist or blouse, the contact of the sleeve of the outside garment is de- cidedly unpleasant. To remedy this sleeves of soft silk are sewed in the armholes of the locket. They have slmple bands at HILR Vial-'1'. the wrists, closed with a lmttun. or the band may slip through. The former is, however. more mutton-table. as the sleeve stays in plum and does not draw up when the coat or locket is put on.

Timely Illuvs to Amateur linkers—Rudy In Hairdressing. As there are a great number of amateur mllllners in the world who find it neoeasr ry to make some sort of presentable head- gear with little material and less skill, a bit of advice respecting the trimming of bats may not come amiss. Always try effects first by pinning. if they are good. go to work with needle and cotton, but do not remove one pin until the sewing is done. A little shifting in the position of any one thing will spell the whole, so see that the pins are linnly stuck in. The French milllncre do this and try numbers of different positions before they are satis- fied. and this is one reason why their work is so light and artistic. Long slen- der pins keep in place better than short ones; also it is much easier to sew trim- ming in place if mllllners‘ needles are used. These are no more expensive than f‘lllflulll. the ordinary kind and may be obtained at any dry goods shop. Ono pspmot nuxuum sire needles will lost the amateur mllllner for years.
