Ypsilantian: The well-known Wat-
ling farm at the southern border of
this city, probably tho most valuable
farm in the county, has been sold to G.
January Crop Report.
For this repoi-t returns have been received from 783 correspondents, representing 624 townships. Five hundred
and fifteen of these: reports are from
388 townships in the southern four tiers
of counties, and 157 reports are .front
135 townships in the central counties.
The average temperature during
December was quite uniformly below
the normal for this month, there was
very little of "freezing and thawing,":
and the ground during the greater part
of the month was covered very lightly;
with snow. In the ^southern counties
69 correspondents report that the
ground was well covered during the
month, and 427 that it was not; and in
the state 94 correspondents report it to
have been well covered, and 658, that
it was not. Wheat has been somewhat
injured but not seriously. In the southern counties 152 correspondents, in the
central 43, and in the northern 16, report that it was injured during the
month, while 327 correspondents in the
Southern counties, 101 in the central
and 76 in the northern, report that it
was not injured. On the 31st of December and on January 1st there was rain
generally throughout the state. This
was immediately followed by a cold
wave, and the ground since then has
been frozen, and part of the time lightly protected with snow.
Reports have been received of the
quantity of wheat marketed by farmers
during the month of December at 402
elevators and mills. The total number
of bushels reported marketed is 1,080,-
501.
The total number of bushels of wheat
reported marketed in August, September^ October, November and December
is 7,730,372, or about 33 per cent of the
crop of 1890. The nunber of bushels
reported marketed in the same months
of 1889 was 6,906,039 or 82 per cent of
the crop of 1S89.
A SINGER'S ROYAL GUEST.
How Madame Albani Entertains Queen
Victoria at an Informal Tea.
Once every summer Queen Victoaia
drives over from her Balmoral Castle
to the Scottish Highlands home of
Madame Albani-Gye, the famous prima-
donna, where the latter entertains her
her at an informal tea. For years the
Queen has made a practice of this, a
compliment which Her Majesty bestows
upon no other woman in the kindom.
It is a return for Madame Albani's appearance each year at Court to sing before the Queen, and to theprima-donna
it affords an exceptional glimpse of
England's royal sovereign.
"So outsiders are ever present," says
Madame Alhaiii, "and I see Victoria as
woman; never as a queen."
"How do you entertain your royal
guest?" was asked of the prima-donna
by a friend.
And for more than an hour the great
singer held the uninterrupted interest
of a private dinner-party with the
story of how She served a tea for the
Queen.
So full of interest was the narrative
that Madame Albani was induced to
write out the account, and it will shortly appear in The Ladies' Home Journal, of Philadelphia, under the title of
"Victoria at My Tea-Table." Of its
freshness of interest the caption of the
article is the best indication.
A copy of the last portrait taken of
Queen Victoria, and printed only for
Her Majesty and the royal family, will
accompany the article. "It will he my
last portrait,"' wrote the Queen on this
[presentation copy, which is the only
copy possessed outside of the royal
household. -

Sqme of tlip ppopte in the financial
and commercial circles are telling of a
movement among certain employers
and heads of great houses to cut down
salaries for the ensuing year, says the
New York Sun. This line of policy
has been dictated, it is" said, by the
events of the last few months, and it
has opened up a most interesting discussion about the big salaries paidhere,
Chauncey Depew has always been
very reticent as to his salary as president of the New York Ceni ral, but
others who appear to he familinr; with
his income say that he certainly receives from the New York Central S75,-
000 a year and that he makes from his
outside legal practice an additional of
§25,000, making his total income §100,-
000 a year. This may seem an exorbitant sum to pay a man whose career "by
most folks is thought to be one of -un-
alloj-ed pleasure. But Mr. Depuy does
not receive the $75,000 from the New
York Central in remuneration for any
severe manual strain on his part, but
for his comprehensive knowledge of "he
affairs of that Company and his ability
to direct them with the least possible
friction. Mr. Depew's office from early
morning till late at night is filled with
all fipi'ts qf questiqns,, and the man who
receives the'hig salary he does must he
able to answer them most satisfactorily,
and always in the interests of the New
York Central.
Then take some of the salaries of
other New Yorkers; H, B. Hyde, president of the Equitable Life Assurance
society, receives, §50,000; James ^v.
Alexander, the vice, p,r.esicje.nt, ig40,oQQ,
i arid .Iqhq a, McQall,'the oomptroller,
l?2o.0Q0J#R, A, McCnrd, president of
the Mutual Insurance company, receives, §50,000, and R. A. Grannis, the
vice president, receives S30,000. W.
H. Beers, president of the New York
Life Insurance' company, "receives S60,-
000, and Dr. Henry Tuck, the vice president §30,000,John R.Hegeman. the vice
president of the Metropolitan Insurance company, receives S35,000. D. O.
Heald, president of the Home Fire Insurance company, gets SSo.ftO/^* * pnd
John "^V". Murray, ttfe. >ije.e president of
tip "QerrnanrA.riiepioiiB company, §35,"

Theu look at some olthe salaries paid
to the chief officers of banks and trust
companies. Frederic P. Olcott, president of the Centra! Trust company, receives §60,000; Richard King, president
of the Union Trust, receives 550,000;
General Louis Fitzgerald, president of
the Mercantile Trust companv, receives
§30,000; John A. Stewart, president of
the United States Trust company, tod-
dlos Along with S50,000, and Col. W. L.
