Provisions.

The trade in provisions has been very
satisfactory during the past commercial
wear, with the volume of business quite
large. The consumptive demand has been
steady, and prices, as a general thing, on
an average fair. a new feature is the
active trade and large increase in the busi-
ness during the summer season of the cur
rent wear. Compared with last year.
there is no doubt but that the whole bust
ness has been of more satisfactory char
actcr this year than in the past. if not in
volume. at least in the facility of obtaining
settlements of accounts, and also in the
very small losses experienced.
The event of the year in the provision
trade of this sectior has been the estab-
lishment of Produce Exchange that
promises to become from the excellent
bers; an Invaluable institution to the trade
and commerce of this city.
The market here has continued to be
governed by Chicago, the centre of the
provision trade in this country, and has at
times fiuctuated widely, as will be seen
by the tables below. but on the whole has
ruled considerably higher than in 1880.
The receipts during the year were I7,QS7
boxes and 2o,475 tierces bacon, against 20
AS boxes and 1854 tierces last year; 60
$40, 34S pounds dry salt meats, against -,
2S9,2IS; 1880 barrels pork, against TO-
95S; $4,000 tierces and 3o,5o3 kegs lard.
against 2I,5S6 tierces and 33,474 kegs.
The exports during the year were 3,433
tierces bacon, against $3.50 tierces last
year, 4,7SI bbls pork, against 1902, and
Ass tierces lard, against $3.50.

Rice.

In consequence of the storm in Septem-
Der, 1879, a cold spring and low stage Of
water, the Weld of rice has been consider
ably under the average of ordinary years,
but the market has been rather steadIer, ''as
will be seen by the prices below.
Before the war the demand for Louis
lana rice was principally supplied by Car
Dina and Georgia, but since then the pro-
gress in rice culture in this State has been
remarkable.
The average price of all grades during the
past season was SI2 per barrel.
The receipts of new to date amount to
67,276 sacks of rough rice, against 1890
the same time last year. The total receipts
of clean and rough reduced to clean are
3o,I6o barrels; now selling at 4h@57fc.
per pound. The crop accounts are very
favorable, and point to large yield the
coming season.

Texas and prospective steam lines to South

The principal hindrance to the movement
this year has been the high local railroad

We have one flour mill here and one
more in prospect. but until our port be-
comes more of a spot market for bulk wheat
we cannot expect mach Improvement in

Grain and Feed.
New Orleans has not been a cheap
grain market this year, that is in compar-
ison with, other years, and taking into con-
sheraton also prices in the West. We
may saw that the whole capacity of barge
room ON the river has been monopolized
by the bu TX grain interest, leaving to steam
boats the transportation of sacked grain
and pack age freight, on which, of course
better rate has obtained. owing to the
absence { # opposition from the barges
The result has been, as before stated, that
our marke for sacked grain has proven a
dear one in comparison with previous
years. Tn. IS state of affairs has prevented
the usual sh ipment from here, as Western
cities, pene: trating almost all important
points in the South, have been able to I'M
dersell New Orleans shippers. 1t is only

Groceries have exhibited more ANNA

and particularly recently since it has be
come a fixed fact that we were to have
open communication with the Lone Star
State of Texas
At the end of the war New Orleans had
thirty seven grocery houses, employing
capital of $7,5oO,ooo: this amount has
since been greatly reduced, but every
thing now points to the speedy recovery of
the falling off in this line of business, not
only on account of the tide of prosperity
that is settling towards our port, but on
account of the advantages that are Of

market for the leading staples. being first

besides, flour and provisions are now
ruling lower here than at the large West
ern distributing points. The country
tributary to New Orleans can be supplied
with foreign goods of all kinds as low as
any market in the United States.
New Orleans has advantages for the
importation of coffee which can make it
the largest coffee importing port in the
United States, of which one of its chief
advantages is its vast water communica-
ton.
The coffee warehouses are the very best
of the kind, they are fire-proof, and afford
stowage at the lowest rates of insurance:
they also situated within SO short a
distance of the railroad depots that a
cargo can be shipped by rail in the short,

in any other ports.
The rate of freight to ST. Louis, and to
the West generally, is lower than it is

in the air that there was a desire on
the part Of some to make General
Badly Smith a delegate at large. and
chairman of the delegation. While
we defer TO none i'm respect for the
patriotism and ability of Gen. Smith
we still fail TO see the propriety of maxi
ing him the chairman of, or any
part of, the Vermont delegation to the
national convention. For thirty
years or more Gen. Smith has been Q
citizen of New York and, though in
patriotism and political sentiment, be
could truthfully represent Vermont
democrats, the fact of ROn-resideRce still
stands oUt conspicuously. The fact
that Gen. Smith was called into the
State, as an educated military man, to
lead Vermont soldiers during the re-
bellion, is a very different thing from
calling Gen. Smith into the State to
represent Vermont politics in demo.
cratic national convention. One was
necessary and quite proper. The
other is unnecessary and eminently
improper. The party cannot go out
of the State for delegate, no matter
how good @ man he may be, without
eonfessing q lack of suitable materia
in the home ranks. 1t cannot be don,
without o sacrifice Of party dignity
and we haven't o sufficient superabun
dance of that commodity on hand t.

was that the noble Duke allowed the
victory to be lost. Had we heen in
his patrician place, we would have
had it, had we been forced to go after
it to--well, to the lowest shop of all,
where the ice crop is always a failure.
There are three candidates for the
Premiership. Earl Granville, Lord
Harrington and Mr.. Gladstone. The
former emphatically is a gentleman,
which Mr.. Gladstone is not, and which
Lord Harrington never can be. We
hope, therefore, that Earl Granville
will be Premier, as a great nation has
the right to be governed by gentlemen.
Should Gladstone become Premier, he
would be the greatest tyrant, for a
subject, that England has known since
STAFFORD weighed upon the minds and
bodies Of Englishmep,-and serve 'ew
right, too, for setting him up as theil
fetiche. The best that can be said OF
the result of the elections for the
Liberals is, that the Conservatives
have been defeated, but that their
conquerors have not accomplished
much. Mr.. Herbert Gladstone wa!
beaten in Middlesex, by 1000 majority
and it is proposed to elect him TO
Leeds, which his father cannot sit for
as he has decided to sit for Mid-Lo
THAN. But he may need Leeds yet
for if he should become minister h,
would have to go back for reelection
and he might fail in a second Scottisl
fight, his majority being small in TIL

DEMOCRATIC CONFERENCE.
State
Committee.

On Thursday evening of last week
there was meeting of democrats from
different parts of Vermont, held at
Bishops hotel, in Waterbury, called
by the State Committee for the senti-
ment of the party in the State with
reference to the coming presidential
campaign. The honored guest of the
occasion was Gen. Badly Smith, of
New York, who led the Vermont
brigade with so much ability and
bravery through the rebellion. Mr.
Atkins, chairman OF the State Com
mittee, called the meeting to order,
and introduced Gen. Smith, who
made modest but very excellent
speech, reviewing the situation of the
parties, discussing the propriety of the
presidential aspirants, and concluded
by expressing a preference for Gen.
Hancock, for the democratic nominee
All things considered he regarded him
as the strongest man the party car
nominate. Col. Dickey Of st. Johns
bury was next introduced and made
an excellent speech in which he advis
ed the laying aside Of all personal pref
erences and uniting upon the strong
est man, whoayer he might be. Sc
far as he could now see Gen. Hancock
was that man. lie was followed by
E. G. Bailey, of the Boston Herald
and twenty or more Others, most o
whom favored Hancock. The poin
seemed to be "Whom can we elect?

Destructive Fire in Tyrone.

On Thursday morning at about three
o'clock, fire broke out in the livery
stable in the rear of the City Hotel in
Tyrone. 1t spread rapidly over the
principal business portion of the town,
destroying all the banks and about twen-
ty-five other buildings, including the
post office and opera house. Owing
to lack of water, the citizens became
panic-stricken, but the timely arrival of
steamers from Altoona and Huntingdon
did much to allay the excitement.-
Among the buildings destroyed are two
banks, the Herald and Democrat print
ing offices, two jewelry stores, two sta
tionery stores, post Office, two dry goods
stores and several other business and
dwelling houses. The upper story of
the City hotel, corner of Main and Juni-
alta streets, was also burned. Two fire
companies from Altoona and one from
Huntington assisted at the fire. The
loss is estimated at $195,OOO to $3.50, 900
and the insurance at from 100000 to
$4,000.
