Due to An European Shortage-- Damage Reported Ewerywhere Except in France. speculation alone which has brought about the present high prices. The situation has been strongly influenced by buying for the demand. : Germany has been purchasing Aus- tralian wed rgentine cargoes for nearly six "Weeks, the shortness of stocks in that country being eaused to some extent by selling of consider- able ghantities of both rye and wheat to Russia, as last vear's Russian crop suffered damage. Germany, therefore, must now get about 4,000,000 gnar- ters more between January 15th and the end of July this vear than "she did during the same period last year. ; This fact is regarded here as mainly instrumental in causing the srhiceze, because the River Plate shipments are rexuired by the United Kingdom, Ger- many and the Mediterranean, especial ly Italy. It is also acknowledged that siderable damage con- has been done to the winter crops, in Germany, Rou- mania, Hungary and along the Dan- ube, extending to about forty per cent. Ome Bulgarian report says that in places it is about eighty per cent. From all' Europe, France excepted, the advices are unfavorable. The Rus. sian crops are not only bad, but the political uncertainty in that country 18 also having a depressing effect on trade. The millers have been keeping down stocks to the lowest points pos- sible, living from hand to mouth, ex- pecting a drop in prices. Cold weather in Great Pritain also to some extent helps the advance. In the past generally speaking, when there has been a shortage of wheat in the west, there has been plenty in the east, and vice versa, but this year both are bad, und naturally the price goes up. The representative of a large Rou- manian dealer informed The Associa- ted Press that when he left Roumnnia some weeks ago the outlook was bad, and that his advices fully confirmed the depression of the situation. He further said that unless rain fell very shortly the spring crop would be ruin- ed and the export of wheat would be prohibited. A dispatch received bourne, Victoria, this evening, said that the' wheat market there wae strong, and that prices had advanced five cents. here from Mel- Misses' Shirtwaist Dress. a rset ret A Eo NN FE Eh The summer wardrobe of a young girl is incomplete without a shirt- waist suit.

Sharpton, May 20. Notwithstand- ing the late spring, the agricultural outlook is far from discouraging. Grain is about all sown and for the last few days have seen very good growing time. As to lateness,' this spring, very much resembles that of 1885, the year of the North-West re- bellion, although that year snow fell on May 5th and 6th, and seceding did not become general until after the middle. There was a fairly good crop of hay and grain, Pastures are some- what short of a full supply for the stock, Some are yet feeding their cows hay and grain. The fact that old fodder is pretty well cleaned out should be a sufficient reason for farm- ers to put on their thinking cap and ask themselves where would they be should there be a short crop, and the present large stack on their hands. Experienced dairymen say that plant- ing corn is one way out of the diffi culty. Clover meadows are more or liss winter killed. The flow of milk is not large on account of the scareity of feed, but if the present good grow- ing weather continues pastures will ting a metallic roof on his house, Mrs, F. Trusdale and Miss Pearl Taylor, Hartington, were visiting the Jatter's parents, D. Parks, of Napanee, made his parents a flving visit. Sharpton school section is again in an unset- tled condition. CHRONIC CONSTIPATION. Bileans a Certain Cure--A Strong Endorsation. "I had chronic constipation for five vears," savs Mrs. M. O'Byrne, of Agries street, Toronto, "It brought on headaches and dizzy bouts, and robbed me of health and vitality. I spent a lot of money in trying vari- ous useless remedies. At last 1 tried the right one--Bileans--and they cured me." One of the finest scientific papers in the world {Science Siftings), says of Bileans in this connection : "They cure constipation without causing griping, and do not cause after-con- stipation, as other purgatives do." Piles, - debility, anemia, indigestion, biliousness, heartburn, headache, and female ailments all disappear before a short course of Bileans.

In Courts For Twenty-Eight Years--Then Commenced Ac- tion to Recover Napoleon's Personal Property From Im- perial Palaces. Paris, May 20.--By the judgment of a Paris court, the ex-Empress Eugenie is authorized to take possession of certain objects now in various French palaces that were the private property of Napoleon 111. : One of the reasons given in their decision by the judges was that the articles in question were of no inter- est either from point of view of art or of history, They include a book given by the pope to Napoleon 1, a portrait of Louis XVI. by Lebrun, a sword from Napoleon I, the bit of the horse Na- poleon rode at Waterloo, the bench on which Napoleon often sat at St. Hel ena, and a box which belonged to St. Louis. The litigation dates back to twen- ty-cight years ago, when the ex-em- press commenced an action to recover from the imperial palaces which had become national property under the republic certain articles which she claimed belonged to the emperor per. sonally, as distinct from crown pro- ports, which reverted to the nation. mune, but the Administration of Pub- lic Domains after years of patient re- Before y..

HAS RB search drew up a list of objects which were the personal property of Na- poleoh III, and which will now be restored to his widow, It is considered more than likely, in view of the gifts already made by Empress Eugenio, that the majority of these relics will be presented to muison or other museums. It is reported that the decision of the court in favor of the 'ex-empress, was the result of a compromise. By the judgment of the Seine tribunal, rendered in 1879, the French republic wes declared to be a debtor to the empress, as the heiress to the third Napoleon's private fortune to the amount of nearly 3,000,000 francs. The debt was not contested, but parlia- ment never voted an apprppriation to pay it. It is understood that Em- press Eugenie intimated her willing- ness to Jet the matter drop entirely if the articles which were the object of the present suit were restored to her, In a sense, therefore, she pays about 5,000,000 francs, reckoning the principal and compound interest, for a number of souvenirs which the court declares of neither historie nor artistic interest. - > HAHEI 3 Remember Tuesday, May ¥ 28th. .

It is the joy of progress. It is felt in religion just as keenly as in every- thing else. To lie mentally becalmed in the placid waters of the orthodox- ly accepted, making no progress, not even daring to propel onesell ahead,~ what a fate for the man of ambition und aspiration. But to spread one's sails to overy breeze of thought, and to make progress, with each new day toward some new goal, how splendid and sublime. The latter is the Uni- tarian policy.
