Three freight cars containing Sc 900 900

York on Tuesday. They had come from
Hong Kong to San Francis % in twenty
three days. and thence to New York in
less than seven days, the speed being
faster than the mails are carried by the
same route. This uncommon cargo is
going to Italy and the South Of France.
and could have reached its destination
quicker and at less cost by way OF the
Suez Canal, but it has been found use
less to ship them that way, because the
southern climate hatches the eggs.
The silk-Norms are put upon long
sheets Of cardboard in China, and are
left until each board Is covered with
eggs, which are about the size of mus
tard seed. The eggs stick to the cards.
which, interlaid with sheets of paper,
are packed in wooden boxes, tightly
closed. and wrapped in canvas and mat.
ting. III this shipment there were 6t7
cases. containing over 100000 cards.
The cases were transferred yesterday
TO the Hamburg steamer Frisla, which
will sail Cor Europe to-day. When
the eggs reach their destination they
will be stored in vaults. secure against
warmth. until the mulberry trees on
which they feed have grown their foliage.

year there was general decline on the

cent. tor opossum. The prices likely TO
be realized at the approaching January
sale will be about equal 10 last Septem.

time. In foreign furs the seal, chiuohi

blue, cross and gray fox and raccoon

subject IN charge will endesvor TO
prove that by some such revision az
this trade will not only be revived,
but the government will obtain moro
