Os the Baltimore Sun telegraphs on the TWEEN
ty-fourth instant: 1.-THE market is unusually
fYt,iet. and this fact, with the appearance OF a
few New Orleans bills, which sold at 4.S3. has
;nduced some of the drawers, including Brown
Eros. to lower their direct rates. Among the
sgStton men 1t is reported that sterling has

against 10000 bales, and these parties Will

An English newspaper, noting the fact that
Pennsylvania anthracite coal has been intro
s2uoed into italy, selling for 81 u per ton and
welding equally good results to iron founders
who use it as English coke, which costs them
sS1i SO per ton. declares that the anthracite
coal will probably supersede the use OF coke.
Over 100000 tons of English coke are now
sent annually to Mediterranean ports. The
English journal adds: Perhaps at some future
day the Americans will be good enough to try
the experiment Of supplying the British
Householder with coal fit for domestic con-
sum ption at reasonable cost Our own coal
merchants have hardly succeeded in their en-
terprise.

were sent to China from Bengal. In 1868 and
5s64 the trade reached it's maximum, $4,000
chests being exported. The average since
then has been $4,000 chests per annum. In
1873 there were 100000 acres in British India,

India devoted to the growth Of the poppy. or
over ,o0o, 900 acres in all. Seventeen per cent
OF the total income Of India in 1872 and 1873
came from the sale Of opium, while in 1875
one-sixth of Englands entire revenue from
India, or about S42,o00oo0, came from this
