According to the Moscow Gazette, the
number of valuable skins obtained in the
Kamschatka from the last part of the
year 1873 until the end of 1880 is as fol-
lows: Stables, 1888; offers 700; foxes.
1000; erminea, 1900; bears, ], 300; glut-
ton, q; seals, 1000; walr1s, 10; Attic
foxes, 10; wolves, &c, and about 900 skins
of different wild animals, not including
300 wild sheepskins, All these furg. which
formerly went to Russia to to be bought
by Russian merchants, fall now to the
share of foreign company, which has the
monopoly of the trade of Kamschatka and
of the coast of the sea of Okhotsk.
Ellison & Co., of Liverpool, in their last
circular give some interesting statements
of the condition of the cotton trade of the
world. England consumed in 1882 3 no
less than 2,786,00o bales; the continent of
Europe 3,647,000 bales. England's con-
sumption is at the rate of ~, 500 bales a
week; the continents 66,1O0. England
has 100000 spindles, the rest of Europe
100000, the United States 1866, 900,
the East Indies 100000 EngIand's in
crease of spindles last year was 1,000, 900;
the continent of Europe, and the United
States 100000. England's increase of
the consumption of raw cotton this year
was 3 4 against per cent. increase last
year. It is claimed that the wants of the
world require an American crop this year
of 6, 100000 bales.

Inoiden,. of Monday. Nighrs Debate

Washington Despatch to Boston Jourpall
"iou stand before the country and ac
knowledge your inability to grapplc with
these great questions A tall, earnest man,
with sharp voice, was speaking as he had
been speakin. for an hour, Hot words were
used on both sides of the Senate chamber
Morrill,, annoyed at the endless stream of
talk, had charged the Democrats with play
ing the part of obstructionists. Cockrcll
had rctoricd in mad Speech of which that
sentence is sample. There were a half
dozen speeches before midnight; all in the
same tone, all bitter, recriminating and all
contributing in no way 20 the progress on
the bill. 1t was the play of the politicians
for position on the Democratic side.
III was not an earnest effort for
tariff reform. The news which had cone
from the House TO dispirit the Re
pubicans has encouraged The Democrats
to renew their obstructionist tactics, in the
hope that while seeming to favor larger re-
duclion Of tariff than the Republicans would
permit, they could in reality prevent, as they
had prevented in the House, any reduction
OF taxation. The yelow:light streamed down

Senate has many old men in it, and the
young men grow weary with continuous ses-
sions OF eleven hours daily, stretched over
weeks together. "Why," shouted an angry
voice from the Democratic side, TO Mr. Nor
rill, who sat pale and patient in his seat,
why, since you control the Senate, do you
not keep Your own members mere at night 7"
That was hard question for Mr..
Morrill, TO answer, us it was the first
night of the Mapleson opera season, and
Patti tickets were selling at SO each. But the
weary Chairman was equal to the occasion,
lie etored: "lfwe control the Senate, how
is it that we so often fail to carry our amend.

still more empty, the lounges and the cloak

the rule MS to the excess of private secretaries
was not the only one the violation of
which might properly be called to the atten-
ton OF the Senate. There is another rule,
which forbids the sale of liquors in the Sen.

the committee rooms. II attention should be
called and II suggestion should be made for Il

4 bicycle Exhibition,

mot many years ago" says the Pal Mall
Gasette, 'the world was inclined to be a lit
tie sceptical as to the future of the bicycle.
After many struggles bicycling has, however,
fought its way to u front rank among the
amuscmcn,s of the day Ample proof of
this is furnished by the collection of bicycles
and irlcyclcs to be seen ut the exhibition of
the Stanley Bicycle Club, now being held at
the Albert Hall, in London. Here are ma
chimes OF many patterns, by many makers ;
stands containing elaborate fittings and
many-iashioned saddles, key hughes, lamps,
bells and the thousand and o'her pretty
iancies upon all of which IA vast amount of
ingenuity, thought aud taste have been be-
slowed TO supply the increasing demands Of
the cyclists The tricycle. seems TO
have become formidable rival To
the older machine and the growth
of its popularity since last year has been
enormous. In country districts the village

Z he Wool Market,

The Boston Herald says of the wool mar
kcl: The wool market is active and excited
for some weeks past it has heen talked that
there was a scarcity of fine woods that very
little fine WOO! from foreign markets WIS he

an active trade and higher prices before the
new wool from the coming clip would be in
the market Not many dealers expected an
improved turn in the market quite so soon,
but couple of weeks age some OF the deal
crs began looking about for certain lines of
me wool for which they had customers, and
all at once II dawned upon their minds that
such woods were not in the market. Their
opinion soon got noised abroad and manu-.
facturers took up the inquiry with such re-
suits rs will appear in the account of the
market below The sales Of wool for the
week have been 4, s40, 400 pounds Of domestic
and $40, 900 pounds foreign total of $3.50,

4 vERMONTEIs IN MONTREAL.
Mr. A. II. Chanee and his Succe..rul
Career.

The Montreal Raiipdy Journal publishes
In its current issue, very handsome and
lfclikc photograph OF our former and well
remembered townsman A. b. Chaffec, Esq
In presenting the likeness, the Railoay Jour.
nal says:
Mr.. ChafTee is so widely known that his
picture scarcely needs u wcrd of introduction
and certainly no heightened notice he is a
good type OF the best side of the activity OF
the American character, and beneath GER
tain quickness ofreply, which almost amounts
TO brusqueness, those who have the best OPP
porluniiies of judging well known that an
immense amount OF extreme courtesy and
kindness of heart is to be found As to Mr..
Chailcc's business energy, if we might hazard
an attempt at a joke, we would
say he is the A. Is. {. Of every enter.
prise 10 which he puts his hand. Mr. Chuf-
fee was born at Berkshire, VT, on April
4th, 1880, and entering on his life career af
ter finishing his education, studied law un-
der the guidance of Judge Adds, but later
on, entering upon commercial training, we
hear of him as filling an important position
in The customs department at Burlington un-
der Judge Smalley. Mr.. ChaiIee removed
to Canada in 1861, and from that time to the

portant business enterprises. until to-day no
more reprt sentative man can be found
amongst us. On his 1rst arrival in Canada,
he entered upon an insurance business for
some years. At length the railway interest
growing in importance, Mr.. Chafiee turned
his active mind in that direction, becoming
associated with the late Hon. A. b. Foster
as sccretary-treasurcr of the old Canada
Central and South Eastern until few years
back, WHEN, the Hon. Bradley Barlow
joining the enterprise, Mr.. Chaffee became
even more prominent before the commune
". In addition to the position OF Secretary
Treasurer to The South Eastern Railway
Company, Mr.. Chdffec is connected with
several other enterprises either as President,
Nice-President, or simply on the Board of
Directors. We might enumerate the At
lantic and Northwest, Quebec and Ontario
Montreal, Portland aud Boston, Lake Cham
plain and St. Lawrence Junction RAILWAYS,
the Longueuil Navigation Company, and
some other projects. The ice bridge rail
across the St. Lawrence, which has now
been in operation three winters, is in great
measure due TO his energy Notwithstanding
all these many calls upon his time, Mr.
Chaifee is one OF these men who apparently
rises from his desk daily with sigh that
there is no more work to do

COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS.
Tho LAW Governing their sale In this
state and the Compliance rhcre-

AT the recent session of the Legislature al
important act was passed relating to the i'm
portation and sale in this State OF commercial
fertilizers. This act provides that such i'm
porlcrs and sellers shall take out license TO
each brand, paying $50 therefor and shall
file bond in he sam of $4,000, payable tC
the State n cG.c of violation of the law
that each package OF fertilizers shall bear il
lcgible print the makers name and the con.
stiluent parts Of the fertilizer that every
fertilizer shall be analysed three times
a year by the chemist of the
University of Vermont and State
Agricultural College, who is to report the re.
suit in each case to the secretary Of the State
Board of Agriculture, who in turn is to
cause the same to be published. The penal
ties imposed by the act are For a manufac-
turer who violatesany of its provisions, fine
of one thousand dollars for a person selling
fertilizers, the manufacturers of which have
not marked them as above set forth, 5000
for the secretary of the State board Of Agrl.
culture or the chemist of the University, in
case of violating the law or failing in duty OF
OF acting in collision with one manufac-
turer of fertilizers, agent for or dealer therein
$1,000.
Such are in outline the principal provis-
ions of this act. There was an expectation
in some quarters that its principal effect
would be to drive commercial fertilizers out
OF the State; but the expectation has not
been realized. The licenses above referred
to are to be procured of the State Treasurer !;
and letter of inquiry from member OF
the FREE Press editorial staff to that officer,
Hon. w. ii. Dubois, has elected the follow.
