An important market has been e.
| tablished abroad within few years
past for condensed milk, the figures
every year showing a marked advance.
The shipments in 1875 were valued at
1923, 565, an increase of $44, 547 over
the year before. In fsh-dried, fresh,
picked and cured-the shipments last
year were valued at 81, 984. 773, an in
crease of 1888, 961 as compared with
1874. Notwithstanding the restrictions
placed by foreign countries upon the
importation of American potatoes from
fear of the Colorado beetle, there has,
however, been an increase in the expor-
tation of this vegetable, which has |
never been very great. The expectations |
last year were 1922, IA, an increase Of |
$5I, 812 compared with the year before. |
In onions and other vegetables the |
shipments in 1875 were valued at |
$1S8, 625, and in 1874 at 1851 ,739, over
$26, 600 increase. Among minor items
in expectation we have the shipment
of eggs-34, 119 dozen having been sent
abroad last year at a valuation of Sc, TAB,
an increase of over s., 900 as against the
year previous.
The figures cover the entire United
States, but the general bulk of expor-
tation has been from our own port, and
is in excess of the combined shipments
from Philadelphia, Baltimore and other
seaboard cities.-NeaO York Bulletin.
Luxurious GyPsies.
The Reading, (Pa) Eagle describing
q gypsy camp, says Standing near the
group of gypsy women and children was
q very large wagon. It looked much
like one of those beautiful affairs gen.
orally seen with CIRCUS company. It
was open for an airing. The body was
large, and extended out over the wheels.
It was supported by heavy springs.
The wagon was fitted up as bedroom.
It was as beautiful as bridal chamber,
and Mrs. Guy smiled approvingly when
the reporter mentioned the comparison.
I" Yes, sir" she said, ''you guessed it
My husbands and mine" A peep in
side showed everything as neat and as
clean as should be. The bedstead was of
walnut, and bedding of the finest linen.
The walls were or6amented, and the
best kind of carpet was on the floor.
Looking glasses, wardrobes, closets,
cases, and everything seen in
first class bedroom was there. The
wagon WAS specially built for the party I
in Frederick, Maryland, and cost 500
in cash. The bedroom was divided off
from the front part of the wagon, which
is occupied by the drivers position.
The leather curtains around the wagon
were all thrown up yesterday, and it
seemed as if hotel bridal chamber had
been suddenly brought out there. The
wagon body outside is painted and vaf-
nished in the most costly manner and
the gliding and ornamental work are !
very neat. The vehicle is large and
roomy, and seems much out of place in
the woods. The owner came along
and he expressed himself as fol-
lows "I live in the woods and move

want to live with all the comforts can
provide, and in that wagon my wife and
I sleep as good as the rest of the world. !"
about the wagon is fitted up
in the best style, and the blankets,
sheets, counterpanes, and pillow-cases- .
we're just as clean as could be. Many
of the blankets were dark, with gray

of the same pattern, but none of them
were fitted up in SO costly a manner.
One large wagon had a row of beds in
