all that is left now is the roping of trunks
at 25 cents apiece, and we are working that
for all that there is in It. We c)me at the
travelling man with the remark: Better
have that trunk roped, il tits not strapped,

fellow hesitates and 70 somewhat Green
about travelling. we tell him that
the trunk will be carried at own

II that does not bring him we hunt weak
place In the trunk, or come one of our shaky
twists on IL, and tell him we will have TO
mark IL bad ORDER and this generally
brings the quarter. We get only ten cents
of IL though the Union railway company
furnishes the rope. This costs four OF five
cents. and the other ten or eleven cents
goes into the treasury of the poor Union
railway company. The fact Is" added the
baggage-man, 1--WE ought TO have the whole
revenue derived from this source, when the

touch Kansas City or st. Louis, though.
There the boys let trunks drop on purpose

back they salt them for 50 cents. but at

1t is true that In March the treasury re-

OF 1882, showing an increase since Sep

compared with the same date of 1882, an
increase of 1888 ,493 bales as compared with
the corresponding date OF 1881, and an in

Although the receipts at the out-ports
the past week were 1904 bales, the actual
movement from plantations was only 1891
bales, the balance being taken from the
stocks at the interior towns. Last year the
receipts from the plantations for the same
week were 9s5 bales and for 1881 they were
