TRADE AND COMMERCE.

GALBsvILLE, Wis, is to have a

ABOUT 1900, 900 pounds of wool is on

IT is expected that Australia will have
about 100, 600 tons of wheat available for
export in the year 1877.
THE Providence Tool Company is turn

order from the Turkish Government for

THE average of several estimates
places the consumption of wheat in the
United Kingdom in 1870 ut 204, 900, 900
bushels. OF this, $500, 900 bush els

AN Englshman hastens to put the
Manchester manufacturers on their guard
against foreign competition in the glass
trade. 81 learn from America" he
writes to the Guardian, "that seventy
two casks of glass are already at sea.
This is the first installment for Lanca-
shire, which is to be followed by other
shipments for the same market, and also
for London direct, the goods being all
sold before arrival" Moreover he has
examined samples of American glass and
found that they compare favorably with
the best English glass in color, finish and
power of resisting changes of tempera-
ture.
THE English manufacturers of cotton
and wooden goods are complaining that
they no longer find good market for
their products in the United States,

American cotton fabrics even in Man.

are not wholly groundless, the New York

ONE of the most surprising incidents of
our foreign trade is the expectation of
thousands of pounds of fresh meat week
ly to Great Britain from the American
and Canadian ports. For many years
the business of importing canned meats
in England has been very extensive, the
bulk of the supply being mainly from
Australia. But now that process has
been invented whereby newly-killed cat
tie, hogs, and sheep can be shipped SO
as to be sold in Great Britain in good
condition at 16 cents pound retail, this
trade will drive the canned meats out of
the market, and new field of American
profits is opened up, which is almost
without limit. Last year Great Britain
consumed 3, 437, 06S cwts. of beef, NUT
ton, and pork, which was imported from
abroad, and, now that the fresh meats
can be furnished at such low rates, the
home production will decrease still more.
This new development in trade will be a
great blessing to the middle and poorer
classes of England, Ireland, and Scot
land, to whom fresh meat has heretofore
been something they have only heard
about but rarely eaten.

A Bad Fire.

"Jones, have you heard of the fire
that burned up that mans house and
lot ?"
"No, Smith, where was it ?"
"Here in the city,"
"What a misfortune. Was it a
house ?"
"Yes, a nice house and lot-a good
home for any family"
"What a pity How did the fire
take 2"
"The man played with fire, and
thoughtlessly set it himself.
"How silly Did you say the lot was
burned, too"
Eyes, lot and all. All gone, slick and
clean"
"That's singular. 1t must have been
a terribly hot fire-and then l don't well
see how it could burn the lot.
"No, it was not large fire, nor a
very hot fire. Indeed it was SO small
that it attracted but little attention"
"But how could such fire burn up a
house and lot? You haven't told me. T"
1T burned long time-more than
twenty years-and though it seemed to
consume very slowly, yet it wore away
about $50 worth every year, until it was
all gone"
81 can't quite understand you yet
Tell me all about it.
"Wen, it was kindled IN tie end Of q
cigar The cigar cost him, he himself
toldme, $12. 50amonth, or $150a year, and
that, in twenty-one years, would amount
to So, $50, besides all the interest. Now
the whole sum wouldn't be far from
$4,000. That would buy fine house
and lot, even in Chicago. 1t would pay
for large farm in the country"
"Whew | guess now you mean me,
for l have smoked more than twenty
years but didn't know it cost as much
as that And L haven't any house of my
own. Have always rented-thought L
was too poor to own a house. And al
because / have been burning it up
What fool have been !"
The boys had better never set fire
which costs SO much and which, though
it might be SO easily put out, is yet so
likely, if once kindled, to keep burning
all their lives. - Pratts6uy (N. "

NEW YORK.
Washington Gossip.

The Wall street meeting to-day, to express SYM
psthy with President Hayes, was quite an enthus-
iastic gathering of leading business men and
bankers. Resolutions were adopted declaring that
both parties are honorably bound TO recognize the
constitution and authority of the President en-
dorsing the latter's policy in all respects.
In relation to Cabinet appointments the Herald
says: The Presidents evidence of frmness and
pluck makes an excellent impression. If he main
tains his attitude of quiet, invincible determine
ton, he will find the Iebellious party chiefs sub
mis.ive enough before the end of the month.
Washington special says there was a confer
ence at the White House Wednesday night at
which Evarts, Matthews, Schulz and other friends
of the President were present.
The extraordinary action of the Senate in de-
felrlng confirmation Of the new cabinet, was var-
ously discussed. The President expressed great
astonishment. He had not anticipated unani-
nous approval, but thought they met the approval
of the greater portion of the Senate. He should
adhere to the nominations as made, and the Sem
ate could pursue its own course in the matter. He
had laid down tine policy he intended to pursue,
and he should carry it into effect. If the new Cab
met was not confirmed this week, he should pro-
coed in cooperation with the old Cabinet, and is
sue orders for the withdrawal of troops from the
Southern States.
The n. y. Times says there is something rather
puerie as well as Unprecedented in the action of
the Senate in referring the Cabinet nominations
to their appropriate committees, and it is not sur
prisiug to find Senator Conkling was the first to
move such reference. The Tribune comedies
with this opinion.
