European piices aie maintained without ex citement and tho demands of toimago remain unchecked as yet, with little probability that thuy can be lowered soon and much more that exactions may bo increased. Austria-llungaiy is the only couutiy in Kuropo xxheio clops aie satisfactory, except a portion of Russia, which pindures well, xxlulo n belt a bundled miles on tliti South border HufTeni a failuiu of xtlirat crops. Thu returns we have published of late, show that ttnniiH caused disaster to lliitiidi harvests; l'laucu falls I'OiiBideiably shoit of 1880; Germany falls 25 per cent, shoi t of meeting expecta tion entertained early in tho Summer; wlulo Italy, France, Spain, Belgium, thu Turkish provinces all show a poor out-turn of lnead studs and will bo heavy customers for Ameri can 'wheat, ex en though Kusia shall come forward with fifty millions luoru bushels than in 1880, which is doubtful. There la no mistake about tho failuiu of thu wheat crop in Aiucilca, which is likely to fall 100,000,000 bushels short of tho pioduet of 1880, Oregon and tho I'.iciiiu northwest being alxjut tliu only legion that has held its own. And in addition to this diminished yield of wheat tho ten iblo diouth that has prevailed for ten xu'eks past has despoiled tho States that rcath fiom Nibiuska to the Atlantic, and Southward fiom Minnesota and New VoikJ to the Carolinas. Orchaids, vegetables, hay and corn aie luoio or lets of a failiuo through this gieat extent of tenitoiy, and thu cotton and tobacco crops are damaged in sections. All this will in tune reset on the wheat mar ket, and we can hardly beliexu it iMWsible that the piieo of wheat will not go tip dining the Winter as high as has been known of late yearn, aim much inglier tliau at present, enough to benefit tho Oiegou farmer inateu ally if ho can bold bis own w ith the tonnage question.

The tonnage question remain an it wn ; Wis. per ton is asked for iron ships and 8,'s. f or w ood. During the mouth there bate been two departuies. Valley wheat in changing bauds at $1 57 per cental ; there is a suspicion that a tritle moro has been paid for choice lots, but it Is uot positive. Tho wheat of the upper country is all sold ami handled there, piices at Walla Walla and alien e ranging from 55 to 75 cents a buibel. SiIuhui A.

We publish so much that relates to the death of President Garfield, just received the tost day, that we baxe to cut market report rather short this week. No particular change in local nutlet, (ircen fruit is in diuiand. Pluii.s are about out of market. Apples range fixim 73 to IKK; a bushel and aro scarce and wanted, while pears range from GO to 73 cents and are alto in rood ilt insnd. Crop Reports CincAoo, Seit. ID. Tho Tribune' coinprc hensivo reports of drought, and its cllects show that it has almost ruined pastures in tho northwest and made plowing for winter wheat almost impossible. It has caused a great de crease in tlio prospect of xvheat acreago for 1882. Tho no tat o crop is nearly a total failure everywhere, and all kinds of vegetables xvill bo seal co and nriccs of livinir will bo Inch this winter. In Minnesota, Dakota and Wiscon sin there has been to much rain. In south ern Illinois corn is being imported to supply tho homo demand, and peoplo aro shipping away all their stock in order tho better to meet tho Winter. Eight reports from this Btato show tho corn crop to lie eo.ua! to 18S0; 52 report it damaged; from 23 to 50 or 55 report tho ilamaeo troin 7U per cent, to a laimro. In Missouri two-thiids of tho corn damaged 20 to 50 per cent. Kansas, though more fav ored by rain, reports corn 20 to 50 per cent, damaged. Ohio and Indiana out of 07 reports 21 show com damaged 50 to 75 percent, and 2.1 leport tho ilamago Irom 10 to 40 per cent it can ho rcaililv seen tho condition ot tho corn is no better than in other portions of the corn belt. Iowa, from 33 reports show corn damaged 20 to 75 per cent, and a general average of damage of (13 per cent. Nebiaska roborts crops greatly reduced. Ro cent lains all ovir tho noithwcst haxo greatly helped tho fall seeding. Failure of Crops In Germany. Tho U. S. cniiiineieial acent at Dusscldorf sends extmuts fiom a eaicfully prepared re pent ot tho friiBsian minister ot agticmtuic, tiy xxhieli it was shown that tho xvheat crop is fully 20 per cent less than tho averago eiop, and 25 per cent less than the estimates. In ryo tho falling oil' is from 25 to R0 per cent. All other crops aro short from 10 to 15 per cent. In hay tho falling olf is from rno-half to two-thirds, while tho present brices $24 per ton, arc double last yeir.s at tho samo time. So great is the panic that a largo proccssnon of peasants at Duascldotf and Cologno haxo co. no to tho chinches asking and ollcrinc pray ers fnr'iaiu. Meteoilogical leportsfiom April to July, show only 1 inches of rain fall against (! inches for the same perioil latt year.

Heavy rnln 1ih fallen In tlio north of HiIh country, doing bouib Injury to tho wheat crop. Concerning the total yield, It Is now evident tlmt nt least as nitioli wheat xvill bo required to bo Imported as ilurlng tho past season, during wliloli the net Imports of wheat nnd llour have reached a total of 7,2lil),000 quarters, against 0,020,000 quarters In tlio provl oiin season of 1870-80. The wheat trade this week has been firm, but tho ad vance lit England and America has not been freely followed, owing to the In crease In the farmers' supplies, ami a general Imllsposltlou to operate at the high prices. The quantity of wheat on passago to France by sail Is now 270,000 quarters, and by stenru 55,000 quarters, Ralust a total of 230,000 quarters last year. HKUUUM. A firm am) Improving tone has pre vailed In the wheat trade this week, but there has uot been very much aotlrlty. At Autwerp, yesterday, wheat xvas Arm, but quiet, and ryo llrui. The quantity of wheat on passage to Ant werp by sail Is 123,200 quarters, and by steam 40,000 quarters, against a total of about 100,000 quarters last year, Or.KMANV. Wet xvonther has delayed the harvest and deteriorated tho crops In the north of this country, and lu the south also tho yield does uot oouie up to expecta tions. Altogether It Is feared (hat the general result of this year's harvest will be a poor one, although lu some cate au excellent yield Is anticipated. Tlio Ger man "term" markets have been decid edly Improving this week for both whrat mid rye, tho greater advance be wheat. At Berlin, last week, wheat was verystroosr. espec ially for near delivery, which Improved 8 marks. Rye also was 2 marks higher. At Hamburg spot wheat rules firm and Is gradually advancing. In the first six months of tho present year, Germany Imported 785,500 quarters wheat and 1,- 237,200 quarters rye. The Imports In tho second half are expected to be much : larger. HOLLAND. Tho weather has likewise been wet in this country, Interfering with tho har vest and deteriorating the quality of the new grain. This, with rising markets abroad, has caused great firmness, and at Amsterdam November wheat Is 811 higher on tho week. Ityo is also 411 higher for October delivery. This delay In tho harvest, and the fact that millers who hovo sold flour for forward delivery are bare of stocks, has caused an active demand for wheat. The quantity of wheat now on passage to Holland Is GO, 400 quarters by sail, Including 47,100 quarters from India. Owing to the rap id advance lu Loudon, Autwerp is now a more remunerative market for Dutch buyers. AUSTMA-IIUNOARY. According to advices of the 21st Inst., rain bad fallen, but was too lata to do much good to the malzo plant. Barley and rye prove very deceptive, but wheat Is still Bpoken well of. Tho trade had been Improving for both wheat and flour, the latter tneotlng a good Inquiry for export to England and South Ger many. According to official statistics the exports of flour from Austria-Hungary In the first half of this year were 505,504 quintals (441,500 sacks of 2801b) against 403 005 qulutals In the corres ponding period last year, the imports being 255,484 quintals, against 370,375 quintals last year. RUSSIA. The crop reports from this country aro somewhat conflicting, but on tho whole quite favorable for a good cropof wheat rye and especially barley. Some reports state that the yield of wheat will uot be so abundant as had been expected, but others say that It Is very large. It is certain, however, that a very much larger quantity of wheat wilt be availa ble for export than last year, the esti mates varying from 4 to 7 million quar ters over last year, but It must nut be forgotten that the new crop comes upou a country quite bare of old grain. So far, the recent advance has notmttracted large oilers from South Russia, proba bly owing to the difficulty in moving tho grain to the seaboard. ITALY. Telegraphlo advices from Naples state that the extraordinary heat and drought have seriously Impaired tho out-stand-log crops, maize being almost lost. A Urge demand has consequently sprung up for maize for Italy in the Danube and In the Black Sea, as well as In Amerloa. Bcerbohm, SUGGESTIONS IN TIME.

On tho Fourth of July a mental volcano stretched its cloud over Washington, and hushed it into silenco. No bells were rung; no steam whistles were permitted to sound; no bauds played; tho clnldi en caught tho so'emnity ot tho day without compre hending it, and put asido their crackers and horns.

In all ages ol the world, poctii, scientists and men of proiolnenco lmo looked ltli enthuslavm often akin eo reference upon woman ; but It U only within the last few j cars tint she Ins begun to assume her ri'ht place, not onl In society, but nltth the world in t'cnenl. Why so desirable au end should haxo been so long dehjed It Is difficult to understand; but that it has at last come Is ccrulnlj cause for grat itude. In her social sphere, In her mental del clop ment, and especially In Iter plijtleal Imprttcintiit, woman I as showir wondcrltil advancement, nnd such as astonishes tho werld Tliej uhohaxe nuilo a carelul inxcsiianon icu us that heathen women are much more able to endure pain than are the women of cMllntlon, but utilized women would resent tnc cnarge mai uiey are weuitcr because tlnj aro cMllzcd. A dUtlniruishcd writer sas "If the women of eh ilization are less ablo to enduro the taxation of thtlr physical resources than aie heathen women, it is a mere acciuentai circum lanm nml nnr uttliln their control." Let us consider for a moment the postlbilittes which present themseHes to ecry woman. When tho body Is health) beauty Is certain to appear, ex en In features and forms once plain ; indeed, it is the only known way to become bcautlltil, ami all otner nronamtlnnq. nowders. staxs and laces are contemnt- ible delusions. With health nnd beauty in all their attractiveness anewlijrlH uawns, rvJoixtrxT itfaits, And all tho luxuriant attendants of a healthy body come forth. The maiden feels tho glorious possibili ties of life; the mother becomes const lous of the frramlcur of maternity and the Jotsof a family. All this is not only woman's privilege, it is her duty, and it embodies tho highest definition of "woman's rights." After cnumentinr many of the b'essings that fol low perfect health, the writer continued : All theso desirable tiiln.-s can bo accomplished, but in one way onlj. The Creator has given both woman and nun perfect physical forms, and each is constitu tionally equal to all natural demands. It is a mistaken anil pernicious notion that one Is strong and the other wciK. -o curse was pronouuecu uikhi woman w men did not apply with equal penalty against man. If women believe tlio fatalism that diseaso is a necea sir condition of their existence, it is ihiell because the di-ciples of tho schools of medical practicohaxe been utterly Incapable of competing with the multi tude of ills which, by personal cxrelessness or pro- itssionai incompetency , mcy nave perimucu to fasten uihii women. few w ccks ago I recclv ed a call from a charmini? hdy, whose earnest face dearly show cd that she de sired advlco and as lstance. Upon questioning her she stated thvtshe believed she was suffering from a paralyzed liver, and wished to know if I eould in any wavaidhcr recovery. Now, imperfect as her state ment w as in regard to the disease which troublod her, uure lsnoaoilDi mat TIIOISXXDS OF WOMEN Aro suffering today, from similar troubles, who do not recognize mar cause so nearly as .tins lafly did. I'ar.ilvsls mpjiiw ilcith of thf iiipmbnc nnrctizr..! ntnl torpubtyof tho liver is the first stage of its dissolu tion, 'ihisls ono of tho most serious questions that can aruo in mo expericnco or any woman ; lor a tor old and diseased liver cannot bo cured at once, and It carries with it the elements of disease to all the other parts of tho sstem. XVlth au imperfect liver, biliousness, langour, a sense of bearing down, con stipation, displacements, uterine troubles and tho thousand ills which arc coupled in their train come thkk and fast. Then follow linpuro blood and all the evils which an Imperfect ciiculatlon cause A dc rmgement of the kidneys or liver causes disease in the organs which ad.oln them just as certainly as a bad ptnch Injures the other peaches in the basket. Xot only this, but when these organs are in a healthy state, they restore and keep in order anv irregularity width may occur in tho lower -vortion of the body. No woman was ever seriously sick for an) length of time when siuh wns tho case. No strlous Intlainma. tlou can occur when the blood is pure, and no blood can be impuro when tho liver and kidneys arc in perfect order. 1 haxo sesn tcry much of tho troubles nnd ills to which women have been subjected, and I haxo learned to smpathlse whllo I have sought to relieve. In endeavoring to carry relief I have tried to be freo from prejudice, and have in xievv but ono end, namely to help those who aro surferlug ; and I feel It is my priv liege to day to state that I believe there Is a means w hereby those women who are suffering can obtain complete relief; and those who aro iu health bo continued in its eniovment.
