Quarantine Precautions.
In accordance with orders recently issue
by the Quarantine Commissioners the cargoe
OF vessels arriving from Southern ports vii
not De permitted to be brought to the cit
at present., but will have to be landed a
quarantine, where they will be carefully ex

sent that yellow fever is prevalent at tina
port and the measures adopted by the Com
mlssloners are designed to prevent the disease
from finding its way into the city. Additional
precautions have also been taken to proven
the introduction of cholera.-N 7. Bulletin

There has been considerable activity in thu
market for Brazils for invoices, both from frs
and second hands, and at constantly advancing
prices. The stock in first hands is considera
bly, reduced, and that in second hands is hello
by strong parties, who expect still further
advance, based on the facts that the supplies
OF jobbers, both here aud in the interior, mus,
be very much reduced as they have Dough,
lightly for some time past, and also advces
of firm markets at Rio aud in Europe In
fact all advices and Influences seem to be in
favor of holders, and this has developed some
thing of speculative feeling. The iobbine
demand is also quite active. At the other
outports the stocks have been reduced to yery
small figures.
The movement since our last is reported as
follows Receipts, 2,058 bags; sales, 80, 1872
bags; stock in first hands in New York, 43, 1873
bags; Philadelphia, none; Richmond, none;

leans, none; Boston, none. Afoat for New
York, 46 400 bags; for other United States

Oleomar garine Cheese.
The cheese industry of the country has very
naturally taken the alarm at the increased pro-
duction and expectation of spurious adul-
terated cheese called oleomargarine, from the
fact that it is made of thin skinned milk
combined with the fat taken from the cauls of
oxen. This nasty stuff is being shipped off to
England as pure cheese, thereby endang aring
great agricultural industry, the expore ,alue
of which amounts to no less than S14, 500 900
annually. In this land of largest liberty
money-gripping scoundrel has we suppose,
the very idea OF which causes a shudder of
disgust, composed of lard, cotton seed oil,
beef tat and skinned milk, but he has no
right to palm the poison off on the public as
wholesome chasse. and to imperil great in
dustry by exporting his nat seous compound
to foreign countries as Amer can cheese The
manufacturer of this hideous conglomerate
should be compelled by law to sell it for what
it is-oleomargarine cheese. Dubuque 10 wa)

Rafsin Manufacture in California.
Although in its infancy, the raisin crop of
California is estimated to yield profit to the
State of $500, 600 annually. The crop of last
year was reduced to Is, 900 boxes estimated
by unfavorable weather during the coming
season, Otherwise it is said that it would have
amounted to SO 600 boxes. These were near
ly all sun-cured. There has also been
small quantity made by the Alden process,
factories for which are located at Sonoma,
Vacaville, San Lorenzo, San Jose and L. s |
Angeles. This process, as applied to raisins, |
is yet an experiment. The flavor of the grape |
is said to be we'll preserved, but the lustre is |
not there, and this prejudices the buyer |
against them. 1t is possible that this may
wear off in time, and a preference be given to
the Alden process, Enough has been accom-
plished in the matter of sun-cured raisins in
California to afford reasonable assurance that |
the business can be conducted there on q
large scale and with profit.
The Crops.
1t is now generally conceded that the Eu-
ropean crop of cereals will not be as abun-
dant as it promised month ago. The pros
poets of the wheat crops of this country are
excellent. What with the surplus left over
from last year the crop will be an average one
and as the South will probably make enough
fpr will ha ho |
quantity for export. The cotton crop prom
Uses unusually well, and the South bids fair
to take long step forward this year. The
fruit crops are everywhere abundant, and a
gracious Providence smiles on all the labors
Of the fields. May it be the happy omen of
prosperity.
International POst-Omce Convention.
We are on the immediate threshold of
change, which, ifan altogether unostentatious
one, is nevertheless one of great significance
in the worlds history By treaty bearing
date October last the United States the whole
Of the States Of Europe, and Egypt, constitute
. single territory for the reciprocal exchange
Of correspondence between their post-offices
1t uniform rate Of i've cents for each prepaid
letter not exceeding half an ounce in weight,
with nearly single rate for every additional
half ounce or fraction thereof The
charge for newspapers, books or other
parcels is cent and half for
every two ounces, though the individual ,
countries have the privilege Of fixing the rate ,
for single copy weighing not more than four
ounces at two cents. These are the principal
and salient provisions Of the agreement, but :
there are many more, the whole having been .
drawn up with extreme care, in view of its :
becoming a lasting institution. An impor- !,
ant feature separate from the mere working
details, is the establishment of an Interna- q
lonal Office of Account in Switzerland, which q
may be taken to be sort of headquarters for a
he whole, where the accounts between the
sending and that providing transit
will be adjusted.
