EXPORT Or AMERICAN MEAT TO ENGLAND.
fTotn the London 9astttt. Ian. I.
The import OF American meat into this country
Is assumlnr such 1argc diGcnstons tint It Is not
surprising farmers begin to be aonewhat anxious
10 to the future OF tire cattle trade. Satne IN
formation Oh the subject, which will be'ntcr-
estng not only TO them but to meat consumers
generally, Was given ut dinner held few dnys
ago at Glasgow, By tho butchers engaged In tho
American meat trade. Tl,o Chairman in tho
course Of his observations observed that stfarn,-
era might hc assured that tic coming summer
anil autumn would bo tho worst they had to
face With America, largo freight co,,tracts hav.
tng been entered into for the transport Of cattle
Into Britain. So largo we're those contracts
tlAt he vas afraid mnnY Of them would
never DO completed, 0s, II 1ll werc fulfilled,
cattle would be as cheap With lis aB In America
With regard to tho Increase of the American
trade, It was stated that tho entire quantity OF
meat imported into Great Britaiu 10 1876 wus
10, ,0B pounds, the money yntuc Of which was
E3SD, ,305. Iu 1878 It Ind risen 10 63, ,00f ,2l1
nouuds with money value OF G., 10, ,704; 'wlito
from Europe the total lnonay valuo Of dead
meat was only ECO 5B5 The value Of the I'M
ports of ali classes OF 1irc stock into Great BrIt-
ain lust year from America and the Continent
was E7,45i4911 nnl with dead meat nddctt,
g8,7s5,78t. OF that sum nearly 24,oO0, 000 was
from America. Every ycar, It was pointed out,
Europe ean spare fewer cattle, aud II ts to
America We mist look to 1nalte up tlls deficiency
In the homo supply. S0oner or later oil these
fnpnrtntions OF tncat 1nuat tell upou Our butch

FOREIGN GRAIN TRADE.

LONDON, Feb. 18.-Tho Mark .Lans Ez-
press, in its review Of the corn trade tho pnst
weok, says: There WINS much rain oary
in tic week, but tho weather is now colder
In many districts tho soil is too wot for
spring tillage. English wheab has been lib
orally marketed In spite Of the damp woather
mud loss in prices. Large supplies Of ILL.,
conditioned grain have increased tho tlullness
in trade. There were very few samp1os Of
dry, home grown wheat at tho market on
Monday, and at tho entl Of tbs day tho bulk
uEMAIxED UssoLp.
Tho quotations Of the preceding week
were with difficulty maintained. The i'm
ports of foreign wheat into London were
moderate. 90, 600 quarters arriving on Mon
dny, mostly consisting Of American md Rus
sian, which millers bought to a fair extent,
especially tho Russian. Thorois no material
improvement in trado, either in London or
Liverpool.
The American visible supply is still enor-
mons, but tue excess ought to DO balanced by
the deficiency in Franco and Spain.
Business generally Is
TRANSACTED WITH DlsTRusT,
owing to the long-continued depression.
Feeding cora little changed. Barley

CAPT. HowGATE, chief signal officer,
in letter to the Secretary of War,
again advocates Government expedi-
ton to the Arctic seas, saying that the
present reduced condition of the whal-
ing interests of our country would alone
justify the expenditure of ten times the
cost of the proposed colony on the
shore of Lady Franklin's bay, as rea-
sonable effort to discover and develop
new whaling grounds"

The house of Priam might, in the
opinion of DR.. .5chliemann, have had
more than 100 rooms, and he thinks it
was originally five or seven stories high.
One of the rooms now contains jar so
large that it is nearly filed by it. Four
of such jars have been found by him,
each measuring five and half feet high
and four feet seven inches broad The
large number of jars found on the
ground floor induces the belief that it
was used for store-rooms. The four
huge jars contain number of beautiful
terra-cotta vases, of which also many
fine specimens were found in the brick
colored ashes with which the rooms are
filled. DR.. Schliemann thinks the most
remarkable thing in the ancient mansion
is that here and there beneath it the
walls of a still more ancient building are
found. He ascribes them to the city
first erected on the site of the famous
city. All the fragments of pottery
which he has seen in the rooms of the
mansion Immediately below the Trojan
stratum have, he says, on both sides, a
beautiful lustrous red, black or brown
color which he has never found any
where except in the strata of the first
city. He is further of opinion that the
great circuit wall was not built by the
people which inhabited Troy at the time
of the catastrophe, but by their prede-
paSaors

his sensitive eyes. 1t is one OF the
most absorbingly-interesting books L
ever read cried one of the number,
frightening the remark with an expie-
tive savoring more Of strength than OF

happiness at the opinion so earnestly

naivete which always belonged to nj
character, DO you really think SO?
Well, am so glad!

For downright astonishing feats of
journalism those Chicago fellows beat
the world. When the Reno military
court met in that city the other day, it
was decided to admit reporters to the
sittings, but they were not permitted to
take notes. Notwithstanding the use
of the pencil was strictly forbidden, the
reporters, from mere memory, managed
to give verbatim reports of the entire
proceedings, occupying several columns
in the morning journals. The military
gentlemen marveled greatly at these
prodigious feats of memory, and, on
the third day of the trial, they unani-
mously voted to allow the free use of
pencil and paper. They frankly ac-
knowledged that they were beaten, and
said they would never again try to cir
cumvent Chicago reporter.

STATISTICS of railway mortality for
1878 present some frightful figures, of
course, for, though we have been en-
couraged to think that times were bet
tering. the overloaded railroads, built at
high prices, and in many cases with en-
ormously excessive capitalization, could
not catch the friendly breeze in time to
save themselves. The tables prepared
by the Rail,cGy Age, of Chicago, place
the numbey of roads sold under fore
closure during the year at forty, with a
length ST 1902 miles, and nominal
capital of $311 ,631 200, little less than
half of which was stock AS this, by
the process of sale, is almost always
wiped out" entirely, while usually
the bonded debt is scaled also, virtually,
if not NORMALLY, it may be considered
thai the amount written off the nations
books, in the proft-and-loss account of
the year, included at least $175,000,000
worth of railroad p operty. To some
extent this has been lost bypeople along
the lines of the several foreclosed roads.
who had subscribed to the stock in or
der to get them built, and as to these
they have in many cases profited much
more by the improvement of their prop
erty and the advantage of the railroad
than they have lost by the Sheriff's sale.
But, as to nonresident investors for
eign capitalists no such compensation
exists. They pocket the loss without
being able to perceive a single element
of gain.
