THE RUSSIAN GRAIN TRADE.

The Senate Transportation Commit
tee, in their very exhaustive report to
Congress, presented a statement in re-
gard to the quantity of grain, in
bushels, sent from Russia and the
United States, respectively, to Great
Britain, in two periods Of four years, as
follows

This exhibit shows that Russia is fast
becoming a formidable competitor with
us for the European grain trade. A
new railroad, also, has recently been
completed in that empire, between
Odessa, on the Black Sea, to Konigs-
berg, on the Baltic, n distance of some
what over nine hundred miles, while
several branch roads are in process of
construction, tapping the great grain
growing regions and aflording ample
facilities for the transportation of crops
to the seaboard. Hence the Importance
of lessening the cost of moving grain
from the West TO the Atlantic ports, if
we would compete successfully in Eu-
ropean markets in the future, becomes
apparent.

Accompany of poor children, who had
been gathered out Of the alleys and gar
rets of the city, were preparing for their
departure to new and distant homes in
West. Just before the time for the
starting of the cars, one of the boys wa
noticed aside from the others, and appa-
rently very busy with a cast-off garment.
The superintendent stepped up to him,
and found he was cutting a small piece
out of the patched lining. 1t proved to
be his old jacket, which, having been
replaced by q new one, had been thrown
away: There was no time to be lost.
