WHEAT.
In the August bulletin the esternated
wheat yield was Met/13,155 bushels,
that is, about a00,000 bushels in ex -
• of the aetual yield now given.
There is no doubt but that if the sea -
eon for harvesting and thmhing had
been favorable, the actual yield would
bave considerably exceeded; the yield
t etimated in August, for the conditions
of the crop improved from Aug. 1 until
berveming commenced. The unfaYor-
eble weather for stacking and thresh -
Mg, so exceptional in this ecrovince,
-continued for a month, and in some
uparts a the province for six weeks.
This was during the kat ten days of
September and nearly all of October.

Prom the last revised assesement re-
turns by munieipal clerks, the following
statement is compiled:

Number of cattle In the hrOtinee -227,097
Number of elicee in the pravince •. 32,053
Nuniber of swine In the province ., 09,018
The number of horses increased 1502
during the year and the number of eat-
tle increased 5329, but the number of
sheep devreased 3500 and the number
of swine decreased 5300. These tim
ures are taken from the assessment
coils emptied early in the year, and
Pecan the stetements of correspondents
It is lesrued that the number of sheep
ana swine at present in the province is
much less than tut the time these en-
tries were made. The high price of
wheat last teem tuid in the early part
of the present year, and the
early part of the present year, and the
scarcity of coarse gratnee were fatal te
the hog industry.

DAIRY PRODUOI.1
The season has been a most tevarabbi
one for all perties engaged an the menu-
faetuee of cheese and butter. The in.-
dustry, however, has had some difficul-
ties to contend with. One of the chief
delliculties was the policy pursued by
country merchants. in many places
very tegh prices were paid for dairy
• butter (in trade); some have been known
ot pay ltic and sell the same for 12e.
This is a serious mistake on. the part
of the merchants, as it has a tendency
to increase the output of dairy butter
which is not wanted in large quantitles.
The prices this year have been execp-
tit-many good. While it shows a de-
crease in the amount of creamery but-
ter made, the price is such that brings
Ole value up to an increase over lege
year. The cheese output, so far as fig-
ures 'have come in, has decreased. Play
a. million of dollars of farm prodece will
be brought into this conntry from- other
parkins, every dollar of which Mani-
otba farmers should produce...,
The following is a summeey of pro-
duction laud prices:

HARVIttetsr LABORERS.
ln the August Bulletin it was .eeti-
mated that 3500 laborers weuld be re-
quired to assist in the harvest fields.
Over 5000 hands come from the east
in Aegust. Although the labor market
at a few points in the p•rovinee became
somewhat congested for a few clays,
yet all secured employment, and before
tharvett end threshing were completed
it wee impossible to supply the demand
for more men.
PALL PLOWING.
The total area ot fall plotting is 607,-
720 ncres. From the August bulletin
Ole area of breaking is trepoged as
134,1)05 acres end the Summer fallONY-
big as 268,830 acres. '11his makes a
grand total of 1,011,455 acres prepared
for the crop of 1899. This shows a
decrease of over 809,000 acres, froxa
Ole figueee of last year.
HAY.
Over 40 per cent. of the repents re-
ceived state that (the aanount of hay
seemed is not sufficient to meet the re-
quirements of the coming winter. This
means a general shortage, throughout
the provin.ce. ln the maearity of oases
the reason given for the short hay crop
is the excessive rainfall which floodled
the hay meadows and made it impos-
sible to secure die usual supply. lia

seam Dospoct Treaty.
The Spanish Government has no news
of the oonfliot at Manila, and it is added
that the Government of Spain will "ad
In the moat correct mauner and scrupul-
ously respect the treaty of Paris."
The Spanish Prisoners,
General Rios, conitnandiug the Span-

Agninaido offers to release the Spanieb
prisoners on the payment of 5500,000 and
Ole banding over to him of the cannon,
rillee and 3,000,000 cartridges belonging
to the Spaniards. The Government bore
ropliod that it could not accept this
transaction as it would be equivalent to
indirect protection of the insurgents,
which would be a breaoh of the Spanish
agreement with the United States. Agn-

First Despatch About the Trouble Came
From Admiral Dewey to the
Secretary of the Navy.
Washington, Feb. 6.-Tbe following
message was eeeeived yesterday morning
by tbe Secretary of tbe Navy from Ad-
miral Dewey, dated Manila. Sunday
m o ninet
'Insurgents here inaugurated general
engagement Saturday night, which was
continued to -day. The American army
and navy is generally successful. Insur-
gents bave boon driven back and our
lines advanced. No casualties to navy."
The news came like a sbuck, tor the
Administration, taough apprised that an
ugly situation prevailed in the Philip-
pines, had clung steadily to a hope that
by tact and patience aotual figlating
might be averted, and even those public
men who felt thab oostilities would fol-
low shtuld the treaty be ratified and the
United States attempt 10 occupy the
islands, believed that Aeuinaido would
not force the fighting, when the treaty of
peace was in its most critical stage.
Some Senatorial opponents of ratification
of the treaty adhere to their posielon, but
the general opinion ln Washington last
night was that the news from Manila
insures the ratification of the treaty this
at tern oon
Is was with great regret, however, that
Ole Administratite learned that tho in-
surgents had forced the issue. It had
been hoped all along that • they could be
brougitt to see the env/tat:Igoe of placing
their trust In the American people and
relying upon the Presideet to deal justly
with them. The Administration arguer
that vvith the Philippine ouramission
fairly on the sea en route for Manila,
bringing with them messages from Ole
President, and with the peace tosatystill
enacted on, it wits not • to be credited
that they would refuse to wait to learn
• ti•e purposes of the American Govern -
mane, but would precipitate the !eng-
in:pending confect.

WHAT LONDON PAPERS SAY.
Americans May Have a Series of Toil-
some Camp:lig:as.
London, Feb. 6, -The Daily ()briniest°
says: The Filipinos have helped to assure
Ole ratification of tbe peace treaty.
The Standard says: The paucity of
lime and the boldness of the rebels in
their attack upon Manila are ominous,
and It is nem unlikely that the Americans
wil have a series of toilsome campaigns
over the scattered islands.
The Daily News says: The fact that
.American blood has been shed win
secure, we imagine, the Immediate rati-
fication of the peace treaty. TheFilipinos
bave shown their unfitness for self-
government at the very outset by a rash
and untimely manifestation.
Agoncillo Takes French Leave,
Washington, Feb. 6.-Agonoillo, ths
representative of Aguinaldo here, loft
Washington at midnight. He was un-
doubtedly advised of the skirmish, and
Ole supposition is that he went away to
get out of Grouble. His secretary says he
has gone to Baltimore.
