A caucasian SOCIETY" in San Francis
co,which keeps an intelligence office, is doing
its best to run Chinese domestics out, of
places, but cannot find pliable materials to
work with. Chinese boys work for 81 a
week, with meals, but without lodging ac-
commodations. The society cannot get
girls who are willing to take their places for
less than $3.50 week, or $15 month and
found, and INDUCED in various other privilegs.
They all say that they would rather remain
idle than work for 50 week, with eating
and sleeping in the family, and idle they re-
main, while the Cinnamon are doing their
work.

A STATEMENT of the importation of raw
silk for last year by months, and for each Of
the past nine years, has been published by
the Silk Association of America. In 1868 the
import was 5,7OS packages, worth $2,7S9,350,
1t has been more than that every year since,
and in 1876 the import was II ,923 packages,
the greatest IN any year. This shows COM
plete recovery from the panic of 1878. In the
last four months of the past year the imports
were a half in value of all imported in the

REAL estate sales have decrea 'ed about ten
per cent. annually for the last folr years i'll
New York and Chicago, so that in both
cities the sum of business was little more
than half so great in 1876 as it was in 1878.
In San Francisco, thanks to the sti timulating
influences Of the big bonanza, the real estate
sales, though less in 1876 than they were in

as in 1873.

THE mobilization of the Russian army has
cost Russia almost as much as a regular war.
The heavy expense occasioned by the hostile
demonstration on the Pruth is accompanied,
also, by declining revenue. The custom re-
ceipts for 1876 were 4,256,703 rubles less than
IN 1875. Another source of wealth to Russia
is drying up-the commerce of Odessa, the
great grain-exporting port Of Russia is on the
brink of ruin. The number of failures among
both the small and large houses is assuming
the proportions of gen eral ruin. This state
of affairs has given rise to an unusual amount
of fraudulent schemes of escape from mercan.
tile embarrassments. The situation in this
once fourishing commercial emporium is a
truly pitiabe one. The heavy expense to
which the Turkish government has been SUBJ
jected by the war with Servia and the outlay
necessary for the expected conflict with
Russia, has pretty we'll exhausted the avail
able resources of the Porte. No other means
is left but new loans and incleased taxation.
1t is questionable if the former can be OBJ
tanned, and the latter will yet further aggra-
vate the sufferings of the country. War
appears 10 he the only remedy, and that will
be only partial relief, unless the Eastern
question can be arranged in such way as to
permanently settle the points at issue between
the two powers.
