UNION SQUARE THEATER.
THE SPHINX

Formal announcement is made by Mr.. A. M.
Palmer that the drama of Jane Eyre" now current
at the Union Square Theatre, will give place. ON the
evening of Sept. 10, to the drama OF "The Sphinx"
This piece as readers aware has been translated
and adapted the French OF NJ Octave Feuilet oy
Mr. George F. Rowe. The fame Of its author. coupled
with its prosperous in Paris give 1t prestige ana
the first performance of 1t this country will naturally
attract thoughtful attention. The dramatic company
engaged at the Union Square Theater is one OF the
strongest and symmetrical organizations OF tho
kind with which acquainted. The parts In 'The
Sphinx" have been cast to Miss Clara Morris, Miss
Charlotte Thompson. Miss Kate ClaxoD, Mr.. Frederick
Robinson. Mr.. John Parselle. Mr. Mckee Rankin.
Mr.. Stuart Robson, Mr.. +. +. MackaY, aud Mr..
Claude Burroughs. 1t will be obseryed-and
with general pleasure-that Miss Thompson aud
Mr.. Robinson have been especially engaged
for the new piece. These players. appearing as
Jane E,re and Rochester, have won golden opinions.

success has been solid and brilliant that Its re-

which we cannot at present state the exact
amount. In 1879 it was S,557.s98 bushels.
The exports of wheat, wheat -four, and Indian
corn from Chicago, Milwaukee, and the otner
Lake ports to Canada show an increase from
100000 bushels in the fiscal year 1923 TO
about 100000 bushels in the year 1878.
4. Since 1860 San Francisco has become
formidable competitor with New-York as
port of export for wheat. In the year 1898,
1,777,213 bushels of wheat and 149,0S9 barrels Oh
-four were exported. and in 1923, 1926, luz
bushels of wheat and 257,765 barrels of Hour.
For the latter year the quantity of wheat Is
nearly a million bushels larger than that ex-
ported from New York The exports OF In
dian corn from San Francisco are insignificant.
We say nothing here of New-Orleans, because
its grain exports are incOnsiderable.
Reducing -four to wheat, the total export
of wheat, wheat -four, and Indian corn from
the United States amounted to H,23O,l60
bushels in 1923 and 9O,556,645 bushels in
1928. If, however, we leave the Pacific ports
out of the account, the quantities exported
in the two years are very nearly equal.
These years, together with 1862 and
1884, the statistics of which have not
vet been compiled, are the ones in which the
exports Of the above named commodities
reached the highest point, and are therefore
unexceptionable for the purpose of such COM
parisons as we have made. We have seen
that highly important changes in the grain
trade and grain transportation have taken
place within the last twelve years, but it does
not follow that changes of a similar kind will
IL r..
next to come. Still less does it appear that
the Government is called on to construct new
channels, whether by land or water, for the
movement of grain. The State of New-York
will do well to maintain the Erie Canal in the
most effective state of repair, and, perhaps,
to enlarge it; but the Government at Wash
ineton cannot, in our opinion, do better than
to let the transportation business alone.
New-York tribune., 1874-09-12

such document as one might expect from
the man who allows his friend to make
merchandise of his wife's honor, and
acts as broker in the transaction,-
brutal, cruel, cowardly, infamous. Because his
actions have been misconstrued forsooth, this
Bayard of Brooklyn must save his reputation
for generosity by blasting the homes In which
he has been o favored guest, pulling
out the private letters committed to his
honorable keeping, showing the world
what ugly things brothers and sisters
could say of one another, what sentimental
phrases wives could write in the absence of
their husbands, and dragging the reputation
of ladies whom ho has never known and the
happiness of families which have never
wronged him through the reeking filth OF this
unparalleled scandal. 1t would not have been
considered nice business for gentleman in
olden times; but we suppose it is all right
in these DAYS when husband undertakes to
prove that he is not dog by showing that
he is a cuckOld.
It is time for this abominable business to be
stopped. The accusers have failed in their
case, and every fresh attempt to accomplish
their purpose only makes their failure more
disastrous. The word of Henry Ward Beecher
stands good against ten-acre lot full OF
Moultons and Tiltons. The world will
tolerate no more of their passion
ate and unsupported assertions. IL they
have any proof of what they allege against
the pastor of Plymouth Church, let them take
it into a court of justice where it can be
weighed and sifted. A suit at law may enable
them to destroy the character of Mr.. Beecher;
though nothing will ever mend their own.

A proportiOnate increase has taken place in
the amount of vegetable food carried by the
Grand Trunk, Pennsylvania and Baltimore
and Ohio Railroads.
Q. The movement by railroad to Boston,
Baltimore, and Philadelphia for export has
also increased. In the fiscal year 1923,
there was exported from Boston but 1,4S3
bushels of wheat, 81, 1863 bushels of corn, and
861 ,7O4 barrels of wheat flour. In the year
1928 there was exported 176,S65 bushels of
wheat, 1854 bushels of corn, and III ,5O4
barrels of wheat flour. This increase is not
of much consequence. 1t serves, however, to
show that the enormous quantities of grain
moved by the New-York Central and other
railroads into New-England are chiefly. for
home consumption. Ten years ago the greater
share of this used to go by canal and river to
New-York, and be distributed from this port
by the Sound steamers and cOasting vessels
to various points in New-England. That
trade Is thing of the past, and can never
be regained.
In the year 1923, Philadelphia exported
1,5OO,632 bushels of wheat, 420,205 bushels of
corn and 380,0O5 barrels of flour. . In 1928
Philadelphia exported 5OS,14 bushels of wheat,
10 2,909,15O bushels of corn, and 1O5,743 barrels
of wheat -four. These figures have probably
been surpassed in the fiscal year 1894, but
still Philadelphia, like Boston, has not yet
grown to be formidable competitor of New
York for the export grain trade.
Baltimore, in 1923, exported All 1856 bushels
of wheat, 1888 bushels of corn, and 371 800
barrels of -four, and in 1928, 221, ,743 bushels
of wheat, 5,869,5l9 bushels of corn, and 81, ,7O4
barrels of wheat -four. This is an increase to
nearly three-fOld the quantities exported in
1923.
The exports Of the port of NewYork CON-
pare as follows: In 1923, 25,956,155 bushels
of wheat, O,sS9 1852 bushels of corn, and 1885,
979 barrels of flour in 1928, 15O95,26O bushels
of wheat, 90, ,211 5l2 bushels of corn, and 96i,
332 barrels of flour. Reducing the -four to
bushels at the rate of five bushels to the bar
rel, there is falling off in the exports at New
York from 100000 bushels in 1923, to
AZ, 900 in 1928.
8. The movement by way of the Welland
Canal and other Canadian routes for exporta-
ton has also increased considerably, but it is
to be noticed that the increase is due to the
grain brought into Canada by railroad, that
carried by the Welland Canal showing de-
crease. The following is an official statement
of the number of tons of vegetable food moved
on the Weland Canal in the calendar years
1923, and the fiscal years 1912, and 1928 !:
New-York tribune., 1874-09-12
THE TRADE AND TRANSPORTATION OF
HPAIN

GRAIN.
The TRANSFORMATION of wheat, wheat -four, and
Indian corn may be considered under the four
following heads:
1. The movement of these products to
points within the United States for home con-
sumption. SO far as transportation for these
purposes is concerned, no action on the part
of the State or National Governments is re-
quired. The routes employed are direct and
efficient, and the freight charges not exces-
sive.
2. The movement by way OF the lakes,
Canadian canals, and st. Lawrence River for
export to Europe from Canada.
8. The movement by way of the lakes and
Erie Canal for export to Europe from New
York.
4. The movement by railroad from the
West to Baltimore, Boston, and Philadelphia
for export to foreign countries from those
ports.
Going back ten years to 1863, which being
great year for grain, is proper one for COM
parisOn with 1873, we detect some remarkable
changes in the distribution of the grain
among these several routes:
