Murat Halstead says that Americans

Murat Halstead says that Americans
abroad this year are not lnnulrerable,
but it must be admitted they are album
dant. The energy with which they
consume time, and the rapidity with
which they cover space are sources of
much astonishment in the g effete
monarchies." It is commonly re-
marked that the Americans are coming
to know more about Europe than the
Europeans themselves. They not only
know more about England than the
French, and more about the French
than the English, but they become
more familiar with the historic per-
sons and famous scenes of either coun-
try than the great mass Of its own in
habitants.

In answer to censures cast upon the
newspapers for publishing facts in re-
gard to the great scandal. the New
York Times says that the papers have
kept silent about it for the last six
years, and that the Times has SUP
pressed inpumerable statements on the
matter. The press only took up the
subject when the pulpit had forced it
on the public. Certainly the New
York journals can not be accused of
any undue eagerness to propagate the
accusations made by MIR. Tlton.

j:OSIN-The course OF the market
! has not changed essentially during
| the week. We have to report aQuiet
| though firm market at times, and a
weaker feeling at others, though the
! former feeling has predominated.
Strained rosin, as usual, has been the
chief attraction OF buyers. For this
grade there has been an active enGui-
", but he transactions in bulk 90 not
foot up as heavy as the week previous.
This IS accounted for by the small Of
ferinGs on the market, all of which
have been readily taken ut the current
quotations. The advance established
on strained is 3 cents, and on good
stained, the same fgures. There is
some enquiry for shiproCm. Tie sup
ply Of tonnage not being equal to the
current wants, but the amount Of stock
Offering shipment is not excessive.
The following synopsis Of sales will
show the condition Of the market from
day to day: Last Thursday, wee!.,
ago, day, at the close OF our report
OF the week, we quoted strained rosin
firm at 81 70 bid. On the first day of
the present week, Friday. the market
opened efrm ut 81 - bid. At noon
sales OF 1 900 bbis strained were effect
ell at those figures, the market closing
in the evening firm. On Saturday the
firmness continued and 1000 bbls
changed hands at 81 -. There were
sales also OF !, zoo bbls good strained
at 81 81, the latter grade showing an
advance OF . cents. Monday the mar
tet was firm; 81 so for strained was
freely bid, bat tho sales wore only 500
bb's at those figures. Tuesday the
market did not ihanGC IN tone, and
the offerings, which amounted to
], 900 bi,ls strained, were readily taken
at 81 so. On Wednesday a weaker
tone wa9 manifested. 81 - was offer
cd, but no sales Were reported at these
figures. T:;cro We're sales, however, on
this day, Of 600 bbls good strained at
81 s. per Dbl. To-day, Thursday, at
the close OF our report, the market is
quoted firm at 81 50 bid.
No. ,, No. ! and PALEs-We have
not heard Of q single instance where
any of these grades have met with
sale, but we know that there has been
an enquiry for The finer qualities, and
our quotations to day represent about
the prices paid.
The receipts for the week, 16, 500
bbIs, against 10, 2l3 bbls for last week,
show an increase of S,JS6 bbls. The
exports for the week, 10,3G9 bbls,
against Il, 367 bbls fer last week, show
n slight decrease. Tho stock in
yard is IS, 1913 hbls, and af0at 6,S94

have not been heard from, and none
have been retaken. Sheriff Black has
offered a reward of So each for their

It seems strange that the very hole

should have been allowed to remain IN

A CRUEL TRICK.-A German woman
appeared at the Police Court, the Other
day to ask for advice as to whether she
could rid herself of worthless hus-
band. Her application to the last Le-
gislature for divorce was unsuccess-
full. She said among other things that
her husband had induced her, some.
time ago. to sign a $500 mortgage on
the house they owned, by representing
to her that the rates of fire insurance
had been raised and she would have to
"sign the paper to make it all right.
Being unable to read English, she ap-
pended her name to the mort gage, and
her husband squandered the 5000 in
