a Good Move.

We have an organized fire company
without an epgine-No. 2-and it ia
taking steps to secure one. We have
discussed the hand fire engine question
until the question is threadbare. We
consider that about as unreliable an ap-
paratus as could be got would be hand
engine; and hence our advocacy of "a
steamer. Now we think the next best
thing we can do is to procure al i'm
proved village Babcock engine which,
in our opinion, is far more serviee;,ble
than any hand engine we could get,
considering the difficulty in securing
water-snpply-a difficulty which is at
once obviated with IA chemical engine
such as the Babcock. No. 2 is now cit
culating Il subscription for the purpose
Of raising funds to purchase one of these
engines, and we hope they will meet
with proper encouragement. With such
ali addition to our fire department,
Opelousas will be able to boast OF one
OF the best equipped departments in the
State, outside of New Orleans.

qualities that don't suit them. The win
ter wheat from southern Illinois is soft,
but that from Kansas is often mixture of
soft and of the variety known as turkey
red," hard wheat. This latter mixture
is untitled for making a particular grade

"Can this elevator wheat be used by
millers?"
SIT will work into grade of flour suit
able for export and perhaps for bakers
use. Bakers say, though, it does not make
-four strong enough. They want flour
that will stand lots of water. They deal
in watered stock on the same principle as
railroad companies. The objection to car
wheat is THAT there is too much soft
grain in it to make desirable
strong bakers -four. 1 cannot see that
there has been any particular change in
the inspection of wheat. The flour trade
now is chiefly in special brands. The gen.
sral business is greatly depressed, and
Touring mills everywhere are reducing

The conflict between the dressed beef and
live stock interests has not quite closed
with the conference at Commissioner
Fink's in New York. Mr.. Fink, it is
thought, will not give his decision on the
question of an advance in dressed beef
rates for perhaps two weeks, and in the
meantime, the fight between the two inter
ests, backed as they are by powerful cor
porations, wakes warm, and in the event of
an advance being made, threatens to break
up the east'bound pool altogether. Each
side is shouting monopoly" at the other
and both are shaking fists
in a very defiant manner. The
stock yards interest raised alarm in
behalf of the men who operate on small
basis, which the dressed beef men claim to
be working in the interest of the people.
The Pennsylvania and the Vanderbilt lines
are interested in the live stock shipments,
and. as consequence, the crowding TO the
wall, if possible, of the dressed beef ship
pers. 1t is understood, however, that the
latter have a contract with the Grand
Trunk for five years, so that if Mr.. Fink
should decide to advance the rates the
troubles are liable to eliminate in burst
of the Eastern pool.

lSpec1al Telegram 10 the GlObe.
New YORK, April 1.-THE wreckers we're
out in full force this morning. A sudden
break in the Central Pacific of about 2 per
cent. and in Northwestern to 135 caused
very unsettled feeling for short time.
The decline brought in large orders to buy,
however, and the rally was about as rapid
as the drop. Northwestern rose to 137,
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy to 12715,
and Northern Pacific preferred from 86M
to SS4. During the closing hour a slight
decline occurred and the bears did their
utmost to depress prices, but without doing
much injury. Delaware & Lacka wanna
was very active, and sold at $50. North
western acted in a very erratic manner,
selling at 1877 and 136 within few mo-
ments of the close. All sorts of rumors
were afoat regarding the action of the
executive committee. Ten millions of 5
per cent. debenture bonds, it is said, will
be issued to pay for the Omaha lines.
Lake Shore distinguished itself by rise
to 11315 just before the gong struck.
Take it all in all, it has been rather an IN
satisfactory day for the bears, many of
whom were forced to cover set prices
showing anything but profit. At the last
the market was active and strong. One
firm bought 10000 shares of Delaware

PHILADELPHIA, April 1.-THE annual re-

ton of iron rails in 1882 over 1881, and a
small decrease in the production of open

In all other articles there was an increase
in 1882 over 1881, with the single exception
of pig iron, however, the increase was in
no instance large and even in pig iron
only IL per cent. The iron and steel i'm
ports in 1882 made total of 1,335,370
tons. The value of our iron and steel ex-
ports that year was S19,029,759. Our pig

Doing Nothing by Halves.

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 1.-THE sugges-
ton has been made to convert the Louis
vile Industrial exposition building into
hotel for the accommodation of visitors TO
Louisville at the Southern exposition this
year. The building is large, built of
brick, and substantial and imposing in ap-
pearance. The structure can be readily
arranged comfortably to accommodate 1000
guests. The ground where the building
stands has been purchased by the govern
ment as q site for the new custom house,
but a request has been forwarded to the
secretary of the treasury to permit the
building to remain until after the close of
the Southern exposition. Should this re-
quest not be granted, other steps will be
taken to afford the fullest accommodation
to all visitors, as Louisville is doing moth
ing by halves in the matter of the great
enterprise.

pany. Almost every bank in this city held
paper, but all were well secured, and will
not lose a dollar. The failure was the
result purely of speculation, and the
condition of the iron trade was in no way
responsible. 1t has had no effect what
ever upon the trade,and in order that there
will be no bad results to the pig iron
trade and ore mines, the parties holding as
collateral security for loans the immense
quantity of pig iron held by Mr.. Marshall,
it is stated, will not force sale of the
same, but will sell it gradually, when the
market demands, and only when it can be
disposed of at fair price.
