otter and gray fox sold the same rs in
July last, when all kinds OF furs are offered
and sold.
Wednesday, March H.--Skunk, 10 per
cent. higher than last July. Skunk have
been uncertain. This causes no advance
here. IL will enable us TO continue getting
our quotations..
Thursday, March 15.--Beaver 10 per cent.
higher than last January sales, at which
beaver, rats and opossum only were sold;
lynx, 8 per cent, and raccoon 70 per cent,
higher than last July.
II should be remembered that coon we're
dull and very slow last July. ana that the
recent advances in this country are fully
equal to this advance of copper cent, above
last July sales. Next London sales will be
held about July 2. Marten and red fox
have not been helped by these sales so no
change from their past dead state is
probable now for long time. The ad-
vance in skunk will not improve our quota
tons, which are the highest, but shows they
are vented TO lalr extent III EurOpe,
which, with fair home demand will enable
dealers to promptly close out all recelpts.at
the prices. Opossum is the only item ad-
vanced by these sales, as demand comes
only from Europe. 1t is not used here.
The nome demand controls the price of rat,
coon, and mink. 1t is not half supplied
and no weakening in prices is probable; yet
these three articles are as high as manu-
facturers can afford to pay, and they can
not advance more. In spite of the 10 per
cent. advance there appears to be no faith
in pale beaver, and dark sorts seem much
too dear. Good otter are wanted and sell
freely but not largely. This spring there
is no possibility of any consignments be-
ing held into the summer months, A good
de nand will exist for the next three
months, by which time all eastern furs will
have been sold and the heavy western con-
signments begin to come in.

PROVISIONS.

The opinion is expressed that spite OF the
prohibition American meats will continue
TO be shipped 10 Germany via Great Britain.
Several large firms in this country are en-
gagged in curing.largely Tor the British trade,
cutting their meats according 10 the Eng
lish fashion. When re-packed in Great
Britain they will be indistinguisheble from
English.cured meats, and it is quite proba-
BILE that in this form they will lind their
way into G ermany spite of prohibition.
The New York Bulletin says the markets
are all upset again. Speculation ran prices
of future pork, lard and meats down at the
west, and in spite OF this fact hogs were
higher than on Saturday. Legitimate trade
was, in consequence, restricted 10 very
moderate proportions; the lower prices on
future deliveries influencing the market for
spot goods SO that packers could DO nothing
evrent ~ n nositive loss. The same intu-
ence caused home and export buyers TO
hold Off as much as circumstances would
admit, and besides, tended 10
hold in check purchases OF goods that are
likely 10 be wanted in few days. City
packers are faring worse, If anything, than
the western interests, present bids for pro-
duct being relatively so much below the
cost of hogs that they would net loss OF
about 81 % per hog. sales OF meats were
made at slight advance to-day, but the
volume Of business was light. Speculation
partOOk OF something the same htnl-ut-
liberalization that prevailed late last Friday,
prices having iailen 10 to l5c on pork, and
"A 10 l2lc on lard from the opening rates at
Chicago. while lard dropped 6 10 Sc in the
local market. Wall street parties were
again selling but indications prevailed that
one hacker al least was operating on the
bear side.
The exports OF hog products from four At
lantic ports duT.ug the week ending March
IL. were 4.729 barrels pork, 4,j32, gO3 pounds
lard and . 30 GIG pounds bacon; same pc
Rod last year j.l21 barrels pork, 6,7S5, l42
pounds lard ai.d 7.s32 .7jl pounds bacon.

THE BUSINESS WORLD.
FINANCIAL.

The Louisville Courier-Journal says a
perfect counterfeit silver dollar is annoying
the business men of that city. Nobody
knows whence it has come. 1t is the best
counterfeit that has yet appeared, and it
requires an expert to detect it. The weight,
size and color are the same as those Of the
genuine, and when dropped on hard wood
it has the same ring. There is only one
way to detect the difference. The ear on
the Goddess of Liberty, is larger on the
counterfeit than on the genuine. By rub
bling ones hand over the face of the woman
the big ear can be readily felt. This new
counterfeit has come across the continent.
They first made their appearance in San
Francisco. They weighed one of them at
the mint, and found that two-thirds of it
was silver and the rest alloy Thousands o
them have been turned on New York, and
numbers have found their way in Chicago.
Where they all came from is a mystery 1t
Is evident that they are the work Of some
exceedingly clever men, who are experts in
their nefarious trade. The secret-service
detectives have been trying to lind the gang
for months, but they have 80 far eluded de-
lection.

FRUITS. NUTS VEGETABLES POULTRY
BUTTER AND EGGS.

Inquiry was made OF Mr.. Clark, who
manages the Thurber's butter department,
as 10 how much the presence Of oleomar-
garine ana other quaker dairy buffers
had contributed TO the failure of the effort
TO put butter up 10 an unheard-of figure.
1.-THE men who manufacture those goods,
he said, "are rich and shrewd. They know
how to make the most Of an opportunity.
They have put their best goods on the mar
ket, and kept them at prices 10 or ~ cents
pound lower than the prices of genuine
buffers, which, when put by the side Of
those substitutes, could be distinguished
from them only by an expert. You can

HARDWARE AND METALS

The Industrial World, of Chicago, says;
"There are some signs of weakness in the
Western Nail associations combination,
and nails are now being freely sold here at
$40 rates, which, with the abatement o.
10 cents per keg, reduces the price to
$3.50 in car lots. The nail mills belonging
to the Western Nail association started up
on Monday to run three weeks, according
to ageement, but whether they will continue
after the expiration of that time is not
known at present. AS the stocks generally
throughout the country are believed to be
light, the demand, it is thought, will war
rant their so doing.

A QUESTION OF FINANCE.

This is a difficult and puzzing problem, and
nftsn under certain circumstances rendered Pc
cu!iarly embarrassing. Corporations and firms
have financial head, and to meet their respOn
sbilities and obligations the ways are multitude
GUS and mutiform, ard II the financiers are men
o. keen intellect aad good business qualihca-
tons they will see that all debts are promptly lqui
dated and that the assets OF the firm exceed its It.
ab les. Often however. men Of interior eapac
ty are entrusted with the management OF affairs
who by their own parsimOniousneSs destroy
bright prospects and precipitate general siagna.
ton Notably is this true in regard to church
affairs, and when through the negligence Of Of
ficials or iorgetfulness Of the people minister
is compelled to appeal to his congregan
for his salary. 1t places bin in an exceedingly
humiliating position. "The laborer is worthy OF
his hire, "and it anything is calculated to make
man feel small it IS to be compelled to ask for
his money after he has earned it.
The N. E. Church is now about two hundred
dollars behind with their minister at least one
half OF the salaries Of both ministers Is paid by
men whose wages range from one dollar to two
dollars per day. The collection of these is neg
lected during the summer months, while the I
weather is good and men are making full time,
or il not neglected, there is not the effort made
that there must necessarialY be from now until
conference. This season Of the year mechanics
are looking out for themselves, the weather is
uncertain, and half time is as much as is expect
ed to be made; Under these untavorable cir
cumstances it is a bad time for worxingmen to
pay bills. The people of Milton are liberal, al
though we do not consider it an act Of generosity
to pay ministers salary. The Official Board
have agreed with him for certain amount if
they thought the amount too much. they should
not have agreed to pay it. The obligation rests
upon hem and the church. While the church
IS legally bound for the support of its minister,
The community, no doubt, feel morally bound

STAYTONSVI E.-Mr. John p.
Hayes has erected a dwelling house
on a pece of land he recently pur-
chased of Miss Rhoda Johnson.
We regret very much to state that
dishonesty reigns to q very great eX-
tent in and around our little village.
A few nights ago two young men of
this neighbOrhOOd stole some corn Of
MIR. Mike Smith and sold it to our
merchants J. A. Trazzare.
Quite q company of the StaytOns-
villeans have such a thirst for some
thing stronger than water that when
they can't get the drink they more
strongly desire. they will drink vine
gar. Jas. A. Trazzare had a barrel of
vinegar i'm his barn and has noticed
that his barn door has been broken
open twice and suspected the attrac-
ton, but kept very quiet on that sub
iect until he has found the suckers in
his barn, also has found out who they
are. This business has been in pro-
gress quite a while and as Mr.. Traz-
Zare wishes to make use of his vinegar
in better way, he is determined if
such imposition be repeated, to cause
the intruders to suffer the penalty.
The extra meeting will commence
1T this place in about two weeks, there
is room for good work in this vicini-
ty, and we trust that many persons
may be brought to realize the errors OF
their ways and so be filled with holy
spirit that their hungry souls may no
longer thirst for vinegar. U. ). A.

IMPROVEMENTS IN PHOTOGRAPHY.
One of the greatest improvements
ever made in this art is that of the
sensitive gelatine plates; which are
used in what is known as the instan-
taueous process. The other day Mr.
d. r. Holmes showed us some pho
tOpraphs, of babies, young children
aud dogs taken by this process. Some
of them were taken in four seconds,
none exceeding fifteen seconds. BY
the old process, at least fifty seconds
would be required for a photograph.
Another advantage of the instantane-
Gus process is, that middle tints are
taken, so doing away with the glar-
ing contrasts between the bright light,
and deep black shadows, so common
in the old process Call on Mr.. HOLMES
and let him explain the process to
you.
