PROVISIONS.

1t is stated that American bacon is find
ing its way into France from Germany and
England. 1t is allowed to enter as the pro-
duct of those countries, and does not have
to pass through the microscopic examina-
ton for trichinG; these are only sought
after in American bacon. OF course, this
bacon undergoes some change in packages
and other surroundings, that IL may be de-
nationalized and pass the French frontier
under false colors, for all which the French
consumer has to pay far higher price than
he would for the bona iide article. It's
stated that one of the largest packing
houses in this city is preparing to ship
bacon i'll bulk from Chicago To the sea-
board, and thence in bulk by steamers to
Europe. The expense of packages would
thus be saved, and the bacon would be ola
lighter and milder cure the intention be-
ing TO snip it green from the block, or
nearly so, and the curing process to 90 ON
while in the cars and in the steamer, SO
that it would be just about cured on its ar
rival in Europe. Fifty ears, with patent
reirigerating apparatus, are said to be now
In process OF construction for use in warm
weather, and there is also to be refriger-
ated compartment in the steamer for the
stowage Of the bacon in bulk.
AT all the principal packin. centres oper-
atlons exhibited more life during the past
week-tEe more favorable weather, the
lirmness in the provision market, and an
increased supply of hogs encouraging pack
ers to enlarge their business to some extent.
There is no particular change to note in the
manufacture. Mess pork is still being
made in fair quantities, though the stock is
large. Other cuts OF pork meet with some
favor, and are made moderately. Lard is
produced rather freely, and packers are re-
ported TO he TRIMMING thpir tnpatq bpr

this,decrease, has borne''so heavily upon the
planter that he is unable to pay the mer.

The American figures include some TO-
600 overseers, clerks, mechanics, watchmen.
etc. Deducting these, to place the est,
mates on an equality with those of Europe.
the Department finds that the English
operative runs about SO spindles the Amer
lean Gay, the French "A, the German 80, the
Russian 49, Thus far it would seem that
the English operative is more efficient than
the American. This, however, is not true.
as the following important facts viii show
Every American spindle consumes annu-
ally 66 pounds of raw cotton, while every
British spindle consumes only - bounds,
Every American operative, therefore, works
| up ABOUT as much raw material as two Brit
lsh operatives, turns out $l50 worth of
goods to the British operatives 81 worth;
aud even in piece goods, where the superior
quallty and weight of the American goods
are so marked, the American operative
turns out y yards to the British operatives
y, Moreover, the average price Of British
and American cottons exported during the
year 1850, as given in the customs Valua-
tons OF England and the United States, was
as follows; Peice goods, plain-British, 5.52
cents,per yard American s. rs cents. Prints
British, Gs cents; American, I SO cents. This
establishes the greater efficiency of the
American operative. The difference in
wages is somewhat against the American
manufacturer in comparison with the Eng
lish, but this is only to the greater benefit
of the American operative. A comparison
OIL wages OF English and American oper-
atives shows as follows In Lancashire and
in Massachusetts,, per week: Spinners-
English $40 to $40; American, $7.07 to
5000. Weavers-English, 1884 10
1851; American, S4.s2 to 1878.
Average wages in Massachusetts of ali EN-.
ployes; men, $780, women, $500; male
children, S3.ll; female children, S3.US. In
Lancashire: men, IS; women, $40 10 ST.
Hours OF labor in Lancashire, 56 per week
in Massachusetts, GO. Thus it is seen that,
although English labor is somewhat
cheaper than American, the greater eli.
cheney of the American operatives and their
longer hours of work equalize the whole
question of labor, while the American
operative is better paid than the English.

The product of Yavapai, Apache, Gila
and Mohave will no doubt swell the grain
product to Sj0,000,000 pounds.
From all accounts California is going to
have u great wheat crop next year. The
crop of 1882 is computed at 50 per cent
above that of 1850 or 1881. If no accident
or catastrophe arises to destroy the hopes
of the farmers of the Golden State, they
look for yield of 10 100000 bushels putting
the average crop at about fourteen bushels
to the acre. The high prices prevailing this
fall forwheat gave great impetus to the
business on the Pacific coast, and largely
increased the acreage devoted to wheat. 1t
had similar effect throughout the United
States.
The potato-starch market is affected by the
high price of potatoes, The production of
potato starch for the whole country last year
was $500 tons. The amount carried over from
the previous year was 400 tons, making
II 900 tons with which to begin the new
year. During the year 5000 tons We're con-
sumed leaving 1000 tons to add to tins
years production. The manufacture of
potato starch this year amounts to 1000
tons, and with 1000 tons left over from last
year, makes 6,000 tons for this years sup
ply, which is 5000 tons short Of last years
consumption. Starch makers in Maine are
hindcred by the high price and scarcity of
potatoes ofwhich, it is estimated, bushel
yields nine pounds OF starch.
