RECLAIMING FLORIDA LANDS.
Offering Land OF the DIsstOn PuT-
chase as a Premium 10 Sub
scrtberss
Philadelphia Record.

The Florida land reclamation which was
inaugurated under the auspices of Phils-
delphia capitalists, under the name of the
Atlantic and Gulf Coast Canal and Okee-
chobee Land Company, is being pushed
forward. A steamer Is working at the head
of the Caloosshatchee river, opening a
channel from Lake Flirt to Lake Hichpo-
chez. A dredge boat of the improved
Menge pattern Is rapidly approaching com
pletion at Cedar Keys. 1t will have capa-
city of over 1000 cubic yards In twenty
four hours equal to a canal % feet wide
by 8 feet deep and 800 feet in
leDgthl, and will at one handling
deposit the material excavated at a
convenient distance from the sides of the
canal. 1t is expected that this boat will be
actively engaged on the upper Caloosa-
hatchee in the early part Of December. A
dredge OF greater eXcavating capacity, on
the Allen system, is now building on the
Kissimee river, and will be in operation
before the first of the year. 1t has been
specially designed for this company, will
be efficient and economical in service, 1t
will commence work by cutting from Lake
Okeechobee out to tide water. The work of
improving these rich alluvial lands will be
rapidly prosecuted, aud additional dredges
and labor saving appliances furnished as
required, in order that the company may at
an early day receive portion of the lands
naturally sccrulng from this enterprise.
The Okeechobee Company has purchased
from the Florida Land and Improvement
Company 200 900 acres of land, with the
right OF selection Of the same in forty-acre
tracts to the extent of %, 900 acres, in each
of the counties of Orange. Volusia, Sumter,
fernando, Hillsborough, Polk, Manatee and
Monroe, comprising the choice lands of the
"HamilCOn Disston purchase OF 10000
acres" The lands of the Disson purchase
were selected most carefully, and eau be
settled on at once. The 100000 acres will
be divided among the subscribers to the
present issue of stock, giving forty acres of
land to each subscriber for ten shares, with
the ight OF selection to the extent of 25 900
acres, in each of the counties above named.

LONDON, November 28.-The Mdrk Lane
Express, in its review of the British grain
trade for the past week, says: 80 wing to
the mild weather young wheats grow very
fast. Sowing is rapidly pushing forward in
Scotland. The weeks deliveries have been
of an inferior quality. 1t is estimated that
about half of the wheat crop of 1881 has
been already marketed. Trade is almost at
q stand still on account of millers rejecting
inferior samples. Reductions are generally
necessary to effect sales. Foreign was un-
usually depressed throughout the week.
The supply has been liberal.
The unusual supply OF Indian
low grades at Liverpool has rather depress-
ed the sale of the California sorts. Of
coast trade was insnimate. OF seven car
goes four were sold. The forward market
was dull and cheaper. The floating bulk
has considerably increased, about half be-
ing American. Of -four all but the best
grades are cheaper and meet with tedious
sales. For foreign, owing to the moderate
supply, rates were maintained. Sales. how
ever, were dull aud slow. Barley
and oats were in duh inquiry
and cheaper. Foreign barley is unchanged.
Trade has not improved. Foreign oats
were exceedingly dull and decidedly weak
er. Although the supply was small, maize
was generally weaker. Mixed American
closed at Sd. to Cd. cheaper in London and
Liverpool. The sales of English wheat du-
ring the week were 80 491 quarters, at 45s.
I'D. per quarter, against 46,05I quarters at
As. Sd. per quarter during the correspond
ing week Of last year"

The New York stock Market.

NEW YORK, November 2S-The week
opened on the Stock Exchange with a
strong tone to speculation, and prices were
generally e to IL per cent. higher than
Saturdays closing figures, the latter for
Memphis aud Charleston aud Chicago, Bur-
lington and Quincy. In the early dealings
there was further advance of d to ~ per
cent, which was most marked in Louisville
and Nashville, Denver and Rio Grande,
Nashville and Chattanooga, and st. Paul,
Minneapolis and Manitoba. Subsequently
there was decline of Il to
II per cent, the latter in Manhattan Ele-
vated; and the market continued feverish
until about the second board, when prices
again took au upward turn and rose II to
IL per cent, Northwestern leading therein.
Later, when money became somewhat
tight, reaction of Is to q per cent. en-
sued, but in the final dealings speculation
again became strong, and the market closed
at fractional recovery. Oregon Naviga-
tion was notably weak, and declined 515 per
cent. on the days transactions. Transac-
tions aggregated 331, 200 shares.

The Dublin correspondent of the Times
says: "Some more effective means must be
found to restore order unless the govern
ment is prepared to let the country drift
into absolute anarchy and revolution. The
accounts received daily OF outrages in vari-
GUS districts do not fully represent the truth.
In the county Clare alone seven houses
were fred into last week, OF which outrage
no reports have been published. Resist
ance to the payment OF rent has not in the
least abated, but rather increased"
The Cork correspondent CT the Times says:
GA party Of armed men entered the house
of a woman named Henan near Listowel,
county Kerry, for the purpose of shooting
her because she had given information to
the police. The children threw themselves
upon their mother in terror and one OF them
received charge of shot In its legs. The
party then left the house. after making the
mother swear, under threat OF death, not
divulge the occurrence. Six persons have
been arrested on suspicion Of being con.
cerned In the outrage"

SMALLPOX IN THE MAILS.
Important order OF the Post Ofaee
Department..

WASHINGTON, November 2S.-In eonse-
quence of alarm caused in some portions of
the country by the reported spreading Of
smallpox, Acting Postmaster General Hat
ton has to-day issued the following order:
Where the health officers of a village,
town or city. by official action, declare that
mail matter from any other village. town or
city is liable to communicate contagious
disease, which at the time is prevailing in
the place whose mail it is thus sought to
quarantine, and such health officers shall
furnish to the Postmaster a certified copy
of such declaration, it shall be the
duty of said Postmaster to refuse to accept
said mail matter from any carrier or mail
messenger, and he shall furnish such car
rier or messenger with a copy of said decla-
ration to be delivered by him to the office
thus quaTantlned, with the mail matter so
refused, and the facts shall at once be re-
ported to the First Assistant Postmaster
General. In the absence of board of health
officers the declaration of a regular county
or city medical society may be accepted,
and failing such organization, the opinions
of such physicians as the Postmaster may
regard as most reliable may be acted upon.
The mail returned shall be held until the
prohibition is removed, and shall, after
being properly fumigated under direction
of the medical authorities, be forwarded to
the place OF its original destination.

vented his exit, though threatened with death
by the large knife. until Mr. Louis Knowles de-

forced the fellow to surrender. He made no
resistance, but rather sought to screen himself
behind the lady, from the expected shot from
Mr. Knowles weapon. In the meantime, Mr.
Merritt and the Messrs Abercrombie arrived

Hawaiian ReciprocitH Treaty.

Nelc orleans Democrat.
1t is somewhat startling to learn from
the San Francisco GrOeeg and Country
Merchant, that the people of the Pacific
slope are as much disgusted with the
Hawaiian reciprocity treaty as we are.
Many objections were raised against this
treaty when it was first agitsted, but the
Massachusetts Representatives who bzd
it in charge pleaded earnestly sor the nm.
fortunate people of California. a State so
far removed from the sugar markets of
tue World that it was compelled to pay
the most fabulous prices for sugar. An
investigation would probably have shown
that the motive which made these Mas
sachusetts Representatives so earnest in
their support of this measure, was the
trade of the Bay State with Hawaii.
rather than California interests; but the
country did not stop to investigate this,
and concluded to pass this measure for
the benefit of the Californians.
After several years experience of the
treaty the people of the Pacific slope
pronounce it not only Ineffective of any
relief but actually injurious to them, in
creasing rather than lessening the price
OF sugar. A glance at the commercial
columns of the Grocer shows this charge
to be true. To-day, Cuban sugar. re-
fined in New York, and New Orleans
molasses can be sold in San Francisco
cheaper than the Hawaiian products.
New York refined sugar is 10 cents and
| Hawaiian sugar 124 cents per pound .
New Orleans molasses from so to 65
cents; Hawaiian from 65 to 70 cents.
Soon after the reciprocity treaty was
passed, 1t gave birth to a gigantic ring in
San Francisco, at the head of which was
the California refinery. This ring got
complete control OF the Hawaiian market
and was soon able to dictate prices. It
ran up the price of molasses 40c. and of
sugar S4c. in one day, and crushed out
all opposition. When the San Francisco
grocers found that they could import re-
nntd sugar from New York across the
continent, and sell 1t cheaper in San
Francisco thaa the Hawaiian product.
they Began to import large quantities.
The ring Immediately inauguratsd
war against the leading f1rms engaged in
this business, and soon compelled them
to give 1t up; SO that, to day, although
sugar can be brought from New York
cheaper than from Hawaii very little of
1t IS so carried-the San francisco ring
will not permit it,
Ii ls'easY to see, therefore, why the
CallfoFnians are disguised with the Ha-
wailan treaty, which, instead of reducing
the price OF sugar on the Pacific coast,
has actually increased it from one-half to
one cent per pound. The New York
sugar retiners are equally disgusted with
1t; and, IN fact the whole country is sick
OF 'als absurd tTss:ssy, whose only effect
lias psen--as far as the United States is
S0ncerned-to enrich an already wealthy
ring in San Francisco. 1t is not proba-
bic, therefore, that this treaty viii be of
much longer duration.

THE NEXT HOUSE.
The Fight for the Speakership-
Slim Chances for Rainey for Clerk.

WASHINGTON, November 28.-A number
of additional arrivals of Congressman hav-
ing been recorded to day, the canvass for
the speakership has increased in activity.
But less than half of the Republican mem
bers of the next House are now in Wash
ington, and the prospects of the rival candi-
dates are as yet mere matters of assertion
and conjecture. Very confident claims Of
assured maiorities In the caucus are never
tbeless ut forth by the supporters, respec-
D Messrs. Kasson, Keiffer and His
cock, aud 1t Is argued by the
friends of Representative Reed. Dun
nell, Orth, Henderson and Burrows
that each of these gentlemen is likely to
carry off the prize eventually as the result
Of deadlock among the three candidates
most prominently named. The caucus
choice for position of Clerk OF the House
will, it is conceded, lie between ex- Clerk
Edward Mcpherson, of Pennsylvania, and
ex Congressman RaineV, of South Carolina,
with the chances largely In favor Of the
former.
Among the candidates for Sergeant-at-
arms is John r. Davis, of New York, who
has established his headquarters at Willari's
Hotel. Mr.. Davis valves all claims to re-
cognition In the event of Mr.. Hiscock's
election as Speaker, and is making his can
vass with the understanding that he shall
withdraw II Hiscock succeeds. II the
Speakership is otherwise disposed of MIR.
Davis will press his claims for Sergeant
at arms aud hopes to bring sufficient infiu-
ence to bear to secure his nomination In
caucus.
