4 MARKET FOR OUR PRODUCE.

From the Pacific Commercial Adser.

We clip the following concerning the

of that city:
These articles Of food. which are
considered as quite necessary in every
civilized household. are becoming every
year more scarce and costly in Honolu-
III. We used to pay six cents . quart
for milk; it 10 now ten, and promises to
be fifteen. Eggs will average in price
from i've to six cents apiece the year
round-we have bought them in former
years Tor Is cts per dozen. Anything
like . chicken fit for the table, COM
mxnds from . dollar to dollar and
hsli-thres rails used to be the price.
For Island made butter. seventy five
cents per pound is nov demanded. and
paid, whereas it was formerly but forty
cents. AZ 10 the scarcity of milk aud
butter, land the consequent high Prices)
this is undoubtedly owing to the long
continued drouth Of last year resulting
ip the drying up Of pastures and the
perishipg Of thousands OF cattle. Il
would seem that We must resort to
imported milk % we'll a. butter. But it
is certainly . matter Of surprise, in

by the wearing of tight or insufficient

those weaknesses and diseases peculiar

EXCURSION FROM OREaoS.-All the
arrangements have been made for .
grand excursion from Portland. Oregon,
to this city on Tuesday, the oath Of
June. European tourists have pro-
nounced the scenes on Puget Sound to
be among the finest in tho world. We
do net wonder that excursionists desire
10 visit our beautiful location. The
wonder is that more has not been done
by our citizens to make this city o
favorits resort for parties Of pleasure at
oil times. Our fishing grounds. coal
mines. University grounds. beautiful
lakes. trout streams, etc, il known
abroad, would attract attention annu.
ally and occasion visits from thousands.
Although our thoughtful ladies Of the
Methodist Episcopal church have inau-
gursted this new excursion route. yet
It pertains to ell of our citizens to con-
tribute TO the enjoyment of our visitors
when they come. and make them more
than satisfied with our city and it,
surroundings.

RETURNED GOLD MINERS. - Two
more miners are back from the upper
Sksgit digeings-Messrs. VIM. Druitt
and Alonzo Low. They tried to get
down. into the Kittitas valley, but the
effort was found too difficult and WAS
rclinquishsd. They then retrsced their
steps to the diggings, and from there
came here by the 6ksRit route. arriving
on the Josephine yesterday afternoon.
When they left Ne creek twenty 1--we
men weie there encamped. and coming
down they passed fifteen men bound in.
These men we're at the mines three
weeks: and for their time. trouble and
expense got three or four dollars in
gold dust. Too much water in the
creek was what prevented their doing
better. A month hence will be early
enough to 60 to these mines.

A Game of Chess on the Ice.

Thirty years ago this February, on
the frozen Nemahbin lake, near Nasho-
tab Theological Seminary, in Delaield,
twenty-eight miles west of Milwaukee,
sixty-four squares were marked off upon
the ice, each ten feet square, the snow
being scraped off from the alternate
squares, and a game Of chess was played,
with thirty-two young men and two
young ladies acting as pieces, and each
one moving as directed by the king OF
the side to which he belonged. The
two young ladies were the queens.
Most of the other pieces were students
at @the Mission" as the Nashotah in
stitution was called in those days,
though many were farmers sons and
other young men of the neighborhood,
one of them the district schoolmaster at
Summit corners. One of the kings was
the lovable pioneer Christian hero, the
Rev. Lloyd Breck the other was a mere
youth, named Ammi Hawks, son of q
hotel-keeper at Delafeld village. Won

was a clever player, and kept the wise
old priests wits at work all the after
noon; but the latter finally fastened
them to a single square, when Athe
shades of night were falling fast" and
all but themselves and two or three Of
the knights and castles had been killed

stomach made it a happy disaster when

The Worlds Commerce.

Prof. Neuman Spallart, of Vienna,
has recently published some interesting
and useful statistics of the worlds com.
merce. Prof. Spallart's figures show
that the nations of the globe exchange
products with one another to an enor-
NOUS amount, and that their exchanges
have greatly increased within a few
years. The total volume of their ex-
changes in 1878, stated in dollars, was
$11,C53,6 10000. In 1928 it had risen
to $14,441, 20O, 0OO-an increase of
$3,387, 100000, or nearly 81 per cent, in
FIVE years, or more than 6 per cent. an
nually on the average. The total in
1874l5 was $1,000 800,0OO-a decrease
of $741, 400,000 in two years; but in
1876, the last year for which the figures
are given, there was an increase of
$500, 500, 900 over the previous year, the
total having been $14, 600, 10000. 1t is
well known, however, that there has
been a general decline of prices, espe-
cially of European and American pro-
ducts, since the revulsion of 1873, and
it is not unlikly that there has been an
increase in the quantities of commodi.
ties exchanged, although there has beer
a decrease in the total values. Indeed,
if it be assumed that the increase II
1876 was continued during 1877 an6
1878, the volume of exchanges statedir
terms of money was greater last yea,
than ever before, and the quantities o.
commodities exchanged were very much
greater.
