The Financial Chronicle thinks there car
hardly be doubt that the artificial plethora
Of money during the past seven months Of
this year has created false impression oil

country, which Is not likely - be sustained
by the actual course Of events in the future.
1t is q foregone conclusion, says the Chroni-
Gle, that large amounts Of money will be In
vested In mining, manufacturing and other
Industrial enterprises In the United States,
and already the Indications point to consid-
cradle movement In this direction.

which occurs the following: "There Is no
mystery about the malady Itself from which
the farmer ID suffering. 1t is simple, visi-
BILE fact pat mt to all. Farming has ceased
to be profitable Ia England. The rents are
HIGH and for the last two or three years. If
not for q longer period, the yield has bt III
small and the prices low. In fact, farming
has not only not been profitable, 1t has been u
losing business. According to Trustworthy
statistics the value OF the agricultural pro-

According to the report of the United States
Inspector Of the customs, which appears III

grapes to 1882 900. bananas to nearly 100000
and cocoannts to nearly 100000. The duty
collected on these articles reached S6GG,OOD,
the cocoanute alone being free. The extent Of
the traffic may be imagined from the fact that
the number Of oranges imported In cases last
year was nearly 170,000,00 and the number
Of lemons In boxes 2l8,O0O,O0O 1t Is evident
that the business Of raising oranges and
lemons IN the Gulf States may one day become
very profitable. The duty Of 40 per cent paid !
BY the importer Is not the only protection Of

oranges imported last year more than Sd. OoD.-
100 perished on the voyage-a loss of 3G per |

reached 90 per cent These facts ought Ger
Jainly TO encourage the raising of such fruit |
