Hundreds of Americans began operations in
southern Russia. Railroads were built,
improved machinery was used in raising
the oil, and lew days ago Russian opera
tors entered the market at Trieste, eager 10
compete with American houses. Ameri-
cans working in Russia have so Tar de-
veloped the Russian oil fields as to bring
their products in competition with Amerl-
can oils.
1t is estimated that the new city hall in
Philadelphia will require nearly million
gallons of water daily for drinking lavato-
ry, heating and other purposes to supply
the wants Of the building and its thous-
ands of employees and occupants when well
under the way.

United States now in operation. 1t is sit.
uated in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania.

of nickle are found also in Madison, Iowa
and Wayne counties, Missouri. The re-
fined metal is worth 50 a pound.

A Boston paper says: ISL c, Monday
most OF the fleet have been in hsrbors,
owing to the storm, and very few fresh or
salt mackerel have been landed. Dealers
are selling new mackerel in small lots at

mackerel are all used up except Il few No.
l's, which dealers keep to fill small orders
The stock OF old Goldfish is also exhausted
About 600 qnintals of small dry old for
packing, nearly all that was on the market
has been shipped to Nova Scotia to fill
West India orders. New dry Goldfish are
scarce, and command $525 TO 50 60 per

The California Grocer and Gamer of a
late date has the following upon the salmon
business: There is an improved feeling
among buyers. Gamers are holding at full
hgures, ON account of scarcity and high
price OF fish. Small orders are numerous,
and orders for car-ots are on the increase.
Larse buyers are showing some indisposi.
ton toward entering the market, appearing
to feel confident that they can fiji ali orders
later in the season. Figures between buy
ers and sellers are not wide apart Reports
from the Columbia are conflicting as regards
the run of fish,"
California traffic via Cape Horn gradually
out surely dimlhishes under the opposition
OF the overland routes. The tonnage move
ment for April from the Atlantic ports was
the smallest on record, comprising only
three vessels, against nine vessels in the
corresponding month last year. Freights
by the water routes are almost entirely of
the coarser description, such as tin and iron
plates, nails and bulky merchandise, and
are quoted on basis Of SIS per ton.
