Fruit and Vegetable Canning.

The wonderful increaye In the business oil
putting up fruits, vegetables, ETC., in cans,
whereby supplies Of these useful articles
are offered 10 the masses ct reasonable
prices the year round, affords pleasing in
dication Of the progress OF civilization and
division Of labor. Take the article OF to-
mato for example. No less than 2.l00, l2a
cases Of "A cans each, or 50 80, $50 cans,
we're packed in the United States in 1882,
or nearly one-third more than In any previ-
Gus year. A single can Of good tomatoes
IL now obtaiuable Of 10 cents, against 40
and 50 cents fifteen years ago.
Within the past dozen years the number
Of establishments engaged In this industry
has more than qusdrupled, and the value
Of yearly PRODUCES has more than trebled.
In 1870 ninety-seven houses were reported
10 the business; in 1880 the number hsd In
creased 10 ali In the former year the value
Of the products vas IS 800 900, In The latter
IL amounted TO t17 900 900. The details, II
given. would show q corresponding increase
In the number Of articles canned Former
~ bat . comparatively lev things were pre-
served In this way. Now about every kind
Of fruit, vegetable. meat and flsh IL put mp
for use In any season or any place. Great
as the Growth Of this industry has ben In
the past ten years, II is likely 10 Be greater

Ancient History Modernized


"Pa," asked Willie Jones, as he was
studying his history lesson, 'who wa'
Helen, of Troy?"

with wonder and admiration that one small
head could carry all she knew. Presently
he found another question to ask.
'Say, ma, who was Julius Cesar"
"Oh, he was one OF the pagans of history
said Mrs. Jones, trying to thread tAe point
of her needle.
"But what made him famous G' persistes

Everything, answered Mrs. Jones, com.

ORYaOODs.

A New York paper says the exports OF
cotton goods for the week were 2,63l PACK
ages, Including ,214 to Great Britain, 49o
to China, 1872 to Hayti, 125 to Chill. III to
Venezuela, 116 to Argentine Republic, IVA
to United States of Columbia, "a to Brazil,
etc. There was an irregular demand at
first hands, bat fair business was done In
some of the best makes of plain and colored
cottons, cotton fannels, ETC., in which tran
sactions footed up a considerable aggregate
amount. The tone of the market has sheWn
more firmness, and an advance OF l.2c per
yard was made upon fine bleached shirt
ings, as Wamsutta and New York mills.
while leading makes OF plaid osna9urgs
were marked up to 8 cents per yard. PRINT
cloths were more active ard very firm at
8 SIS cents for 64x64s and 3 Lie cents for
56x60s, at which rates many manufacturers
declined to make contracts for FUTURES.
Dark prints were more sought after ana
some sales were effected subject to opening
prices, but light prints ruled quiet. ASIDE
from 'off'' styles, in which fair business
was done by means of low prices. Canton
gipghams were reduced from 10 IL cents to
5 IL cents and met with liberal sales, but
the general demand for ginghams was COM
parstively light.

DRUGS

The New York Commercial Bulletin o
Saturday says: Zone or more of the sew
eral speculative pegs that have given sup
port to the quinine boom latterly seem to
have fallen out, and, as a consequence, an
air of uncertainty surrounds the market
for the article. German in bulk can now be
had at $1.67l to Ito, while outside lots OF
American are offered at a discount instead
of being held at premium on manufac-
turers' price, as was the case early in the
week. just what the particular element OF
weakness is does not transpire, but there is
room for the suspicion that difficulties in
effectiDg an alleged attempted combination
among both foreign and domestic manufac
turers have something TO do with it. Gossip
has it that negotiations for combination
have been pending, and were at one time
nearly contaminated. but an unsurmount-
able barrier was discovered in bringing the
sellers in Peruvian bark into line. Without
some understanding with the later, we
are informed, the quinine manufacturers
combination would not OF itself be very
substantial arrangement; hence the alleged
failure of negotiations and weakness in
prices. Aside from this, there has been no
feature. Business is rather slow in all
branches of the market, and values without

WOOL, HIDES AND PELrRIEs

Walter Brown & Co.'S wool circular OF
last Saturday says: There is no change in
the market either for better or worse du-
ring the past week. Manufacturers con-
tinue their policy Of buying only for actual
wants, and with 30 much machinery now
idle and more to suspend operations very
shortly, these wants are necessarily small.
IL IL a fact OF Generalization that the
shearing in the west is late and the receipts
of new wool IL much smaller than Is usual
at this period Of the year; for heavy arri-
walls OF the clip, when there IL 80 little de-
mand for the staple, would have caused
even more decentralization than at present
exists. As II Is, the new woods have come
forward slowly, and being generally In good
condition, have met with favor from con-
sumers TO q sufficient extent 10 prevent
ent writing.
The unsatisfactory condition OF the wool.
en- goods market has caused the stoppage
of many Gets of cards, and many more re-
port that they will stop II the present diff.
Guilty In selling goods at cost should con
tinue. With this state Of trade before MS,
Il is hardly reasonable TO expect any i'm
provement In the values OF wool for some
time 10 come. The key 10 the situation II
the condition OF the wooden goods market.
n manufacturers cannot obtain cost for
their production they will not probably
run their mills full time; many will STOP
entirely. ard some will run with the desire
10 keep their help together, or where they
hsve orders for specialties, but the produc.
ton Of goods win be largely curtsiled and
the consumption Of wool correspondingly
lessened.
With the above view. We are safe in say.
ing that when the wooden goods trade i'm
proves. the wool market will improve and
probably not before.
