son claiming to be the proprietor is owner of
the factory; second, when he has legal right
or title to the particular brand of goods man

featured expressly for him. Otherwise, the
cigars if found on the market must be de-
tanned for seizure or investigation.
Culture of tho Sugar Beet In Delaware.
At recent meeting of the Wilmington
(DeL) Board of Trade an interesting paper
was read bearing on the apparent capabilities
of the soil and climate OF the Delaware Pen
Ursula for cultivation of the sugar beet.
Everything in the way Of soil and climate,
We are told. is propitious to the cultivation
and successful trade in the article. The
soil is generally rich, sandy loan and very
free from saline substan ,es. and in this re-
spect suitable for the growth Of the beet.
What disabilities there may be we can not
state, but in view Of past experiments in
other sections, it will be gratifying to Learn
that the prospects of success do not look bet
ter in print than in fact. If the beet can be
successfully raised, and adequate facilities
provided for sugar manufacture large trade
can easily be had. Our consumption of sugar
is increasing each year, thus necessitating an
augmentation IN imports from abroad, but
our supply might be derived to 4 large ex-
tent from this source if the expectations
based on the beet are not visionary.
False Pork Quotations.
The Chicago Times says:
Cincinnati must be on the decline as pro-
vision market to feel it necessary to resort to
false reports to bolster up her prominence as
q center. Dispatch after dispatch has been
received in this city from that point, during
the past two days, to the effect that mess pork
was active and strong, and that the option
seller March was in demand at $40 IS. As
this was dollar more per barrel than the
property would bring here, one Of our mer-
chants telegraphed his Cincinnati agent, on
Friday, to sell 10, 600 barrels, but the answer
was promptly received that it was impossible
to obtain a bid. On yesterday the same order
was repeated, with the additional provision to
get the best price possible. The answer.
however, was the same as on the day before:
"No buyers; no bid" False reports won't
work. Having fallen behind in the race for
supremacy in the provision trade, Cincinnati
should submit to the change, and not resort
to the small and contemplate business of
false reports to call attention to her market.
The Irish Whisky Trade.
A correspondence from Dublin ELECTS some
facts of interest relative to the whisky trade
of that port for the past year. 1t is well
known that prices were depressed early in
the year in consequence OF over-production
and excessive stocks, but this We learn, has
not been without some salutary effect on the
general state Of the trade. For instance, the
low range Of prices induced greater demand
from the regular sources, and, besides,
opened trade with points which previously
took very little, if any, Irish whisky from
Doublin.
= This naturally augmented the expectations
for the year, and opened trade with districts
which promises to take considerable quantl-
