British Agriculturists Agitating for the

The British agricultural papers are rine
ing an outory against the free admiesion
into Great Britain of American sheep. A
recent consignment of sheep was found to
be suffering with scab, the spread of which
disease in the United Kingdom is due,
according to the Live Stock Journal, to the
importation of sheep from the LILA tell States.
Many of these sheep were dispresed ever
the country for grazing,and they spread the
disease. The paper demands that the Board
'of Agriculture therefore be &eked to iesue
an ediot, similar to that applied to cattle,
providing that Amerioan and Canadian
Sheep shall be killed at the port of land-

The craze speoulation whioh has
eeized upon three of the greatest cepitals of

generation, It has developed into one of
those great mental epidernios whioh once
in two or three decades sweep over a

the plague preads Ito infeetion. The
collapse of the South. Africa boonninevitable
as it is, seems yet to be quite distant.
Mining shares are constantly rising, and
anything that bears a South African name
is marketable. There is a scramble of large
and small inveetors for gold and diamond
stooks. Brokers are coining money on ooM-
miesione, and many great fortunes have
been made on the (\lining Exohange. Many
of the new companies are over-capitalieed,
and °an never yield dividends, but every
thing is easily floated on the fame of the
Kimberley diamond mines or the goldfields
of the Rand. Geography is nOt a, special
study in the Stook Exchange. "South

great fortunes made by diamond kings and
circles clowns, Who have returned to Eng.

He is the idol of the speculator, but the
day must come sometime when his art as a
necromancer will be exhomsted, and when
the great bubble of South African specula-
tion will burst. In the meantime every-
body chances fortune. The settlement
just concluded was expected to shake out
the weak-kneed and check speculation, but
nobody was hurt, and the amount of
business in what is called the Kaffir circus
was -ntore enormous than ever. A nulnber
of members of the London Stook Exchange,
being satisfied, incredible as it may acorn,
with the fortunes already realized, have
retired from the business. Their retreat,
however, has not touched the public confie
denoe in switained future speculation, and
there is no sign of weakening anywhere.
The greatest English financiers, including
the Rothaohilds,French and German banks,
and all European Bourse operators, have
become interested in the boom. Apart
from mere speculation, the solid develop-
rnents of mining land and other properties
in South Afrioa justify the heat of invest-
ments. At any rate there will probably
be no abatement in the fever of speculation,

nominal capital value of U5,000,000, have
risen in market valae during the past
thirty days to mote than $59,000,000. The
increase of the total South African share in
the market quotations duringthe same
i
period exceeds $250,000,000. It s true that
there has been a substantial advance in all
classes of aeourities'and speculation is still
confined to mines. It is impossible to keep
track of all the new ventures publicly and
privately put upon the market daily. The
popular appetite for these things is simply
iesatiable. The decision of the Paris

tion here since it is the first sign of a
serious check to the speculation which has
already gone to perilous lengtbs. Whether
or nut the„ French brokers can prevent
dealings in the new Kaffirs and Africans of
every colour which are swamping the long
marken it is undeniable that a halt ought
to be called and a breathing space allowed.
The problem of American finance and trade
is unobserved. when the Soath African min-
ing speculation is at its height, and has
become something like a mania in both
London and Pavia. Nothing like it has
been known in recent times. 'Companies
have been multiplied week after week for
the development of mining tracts from the
