EVENING, DECEMBER 8.

: The TEA TRApE.-Owing to the near ap-
prosch of the lst of January, when there is to
be reduction OF the import duty of 10 per
cent. on tea, business is rather quiet with a
prospect of more activity after the new year
opens. The stock on hand out of bond is very
light in this city. and throughout the country
generally much lighter than for many years
past. The importation of teas by the way OF
San Francisco and the Pacific railroad mas hao
some effect upon the wholesale market mere
but not so much as was propheSleu before tee
completion OF the road Buyers IN the west
ara still Obliged to come to the At'antlc states
for the larger portion of their goods and as tea
is very ''heavy" to carry in any quantity they
prefer to have our merchants buy largely III
stead of doing so themselves, as they can Or
der in small lots as needed and have the use
of their money, for other purposes. For TINS
reason the tea business between New \ ork and
the West is nearly as large as two years ago.
Many jobbers are buying tea in bond and an
ticipating the change in the tariff The tor
eien market has changed somewhat in view OF
this modification, and teas have advanced
slightly in China and Japan, SO that the new
importations will come in under an advanced
price. The Tea trade of the whole countryttis
rapidly increasing. and many OF our JobberS
report this season o very larpe increase on the
business of last year. New York and Boston
are the principal depots for the importation Of
teas, although San Francisco is doing large
and increasing trade in this llne.-N. 4

She is sleeping now. Never a
babe sleeping more sweetly. A
smile on her face even yet--this
hour and more there resting, as
the hand, so soft, so fair, so full
of kindness even in it's sleeping
touch, resting so temptingly where
we can reach it in a moment. We
know she is happy, and do wish
that all the women in the land
were as happy as is she. When
comes the hour for rest, then
come we to our home. This
makes it home. And a man will
always be where his heart is, and
it is we'll that it is so. She is not
afraid to trust US, and does trust
US implicitly. And so trusting,
not for all the wealth of the world
would we deceive her. for then
would her happiness and our hap
piness be gone, and regrettul sor-
row be left in its stead.
Who does not love happy
home? Who is there not striving
to obtain one? And who does not
worship those who make him hap
py--evcn as we worshiped God
| because He has promised US eter-
nal happiness? And 50 we love
her who is sleeping jnst here. She
is very, very good to US. To 9th
ers she is the lady at all times,
never stopping to gossip, to 81 IN
der, to tattling of her neighbors,
never envious but always so pure.
gen lie, earnest and womaulT that
we cannot help writing of her, and
stopping now and then to press
I light kisses on her brow, and to
! study the face and the life of our
darling, but for whom home would
not be home, life not life; happi-
ness not happiness, and words OF
! promise perhaps not so secredly
kept.
And SO, while she sleeps SO beau
tifu. and so beautifully, we pass
/ this chapter, perhaps the very last
we can or ever shall write, into a
! tribute to home, and to the pure,
virtuous, loving, noble refined wo
men of the land, who do so much
/ to make man and home happy,
but who are too often anapprecia-
/ ted sufferers at the hands and
! hearts of those who have not the
! love for the beauties of home and
the love which surrounds and hal
lows it and, may the love and care
of our good angels be with all who
strive to make home, no matter
how hum BILE it may be, happy as is
ours this finished Saturday Night.

There is very little change in the

utactures. The same is true of
NEST commodities which come IN
der the head OF prime necessities.
The export trade, outside of few
OF the leading agricultural staples,
is slow, the d, cline in gold and the
unsettled condition of Ex. hange.
together with the influence Of the
European war, operating against
the shipping merchants. The re-
cent heavy decline in Cotton has
led to an active export movement
in the staple, there being not less
than sixteen thousand bales under
engagement TO go forward by the
Liverpool steamers, not counting
that on board of the ships to sail
to-day. AS consequence, the
rates Of freight have advanced an
eighth OF penny per pound. The
outward movement of the other
leading staples is rather moderate,
owing to the lack OF fair working
margins. But from the large sur
plus supplies of the fruits of the
soil, which are now freely coming
iorwaid d 10 the seaboard. It is rea-
sonable TO suppose that The equi
librlum Of prices Will ere long be
restored, so that any pause in the
export trade cannot be of long du-
ration. Moneta' y affairs remain
easy, and it looks now as though
the long expected, stringency had
been indefinitely postponed. Al
though the bank resources are
moder..te, there appears to be no
scarcity OF fund.-, and the increas-
ed purchase OF bonds by the Treas
ury is calculated to augment the

The followi' 6 song was composed b
Peter Aller, shoemaker Of Grief. Scot
land, and sung at the great Masonic gath
ering in Perth, in 1852. His Grace, tn
Duke of Athole, Grand Master Maso
of Scotland. presiding:
Though cowans sneer, and coofs decry,
The honors of the mystic tie,
There's something mair than meets the eye
About Mason's apron.
CHORUS:
May ne'er misfortune steer them,
Nor carking care come near them;
But friends ave round to cheer them
That wear the mystic apron.
The social sympathetic glow,
The love of brothers, high and low,
Are truths that none can ever know
Until they wear the apron.
The b Ugh in rank, the great in mind,
The noblest of the human kind.
Are proud around their loins to bind
The merry Aason'Sapron.
Each brother here this happy night,
Amid this galaxy of light,
Must feel it is high delight
To wear Mason's apron.
And who that loves the mystic art,
In every lodge, of every part,
But loves the honest, manly heart
That wears the Masters apron?
His love to us has long been known,
And widely to the world is shown;
His name has brighter lustre thrown
Around the Mason's apron.
| Mid bea ming smiles and bitter tears,
Through hopes and joys, and g~iefs and fear.
Wen ne'er forget the man that wears
The Master Mason's apron.
