The saloon men and the Mexican
population of Colorado voted sOlidly against
woman suffrage at the late election. The
whisky men naturally believe that the women
| of Colorado, with ballots, would vote a law

From various portions of the northwest
| there are evidences of steady stream of

The expectations of cattlc and beef to
| England, which started up so suddenly few
months ago and expanded so rapidly, is
already on the decline. The large firm Of
Samuels Brothers, in New York, who made
| the first shipments of live cattle, failed the
| other day, and they declare that the business
| is losing one, owing TO the inevitable losses
| of stock on the voyage. Fresh beef fares but
| little better than live stock, owing to the i'm.
| mense difficulty experienced in keeping it
| fresh and sweet while on the water. Another
| finn, however, in the same city, claims to
have done fairly well at the trade.
For the first time in five years a cargo
of coal has arrived in Boston from Newcastle
and been sold at profit, and more is on the
way. The Gas company is the only purchaser
| as vet, but there will soon be large mark ct
| for English coal in Massachusetts,, unless the
| price of Pennsylvania coal is reduced. The
! reason of this trade-phenOmeDOn is plainly
! set forth in the American Gas Light Journal,
| which lays the blame upon the railroad
companies and their stUd:Ous interference
with The coal companies. The freight agents
now dictate the price at which coal is sold,
the markets to which it is sent, and other
matters which have heretofore been con
sidered solely at the discretion of the coal
operators. The price has thus been fixed
above the cost of coal in England, with the
freight added and the shrewd Boston men
are seeking the cheapest market.
