FRENCH spoLIAT1oN CLAIMS.

AIrTTER FROM GENERAL JOSEPH c. JACKSON.
TO the Editor Of The.Trfbume:
SIR: Pablo attention is again called to certain
"a obligations Of our Government known as the
French Spoliaiion Claims" by the bill recently
passed by the Senate giving the claimants inc
privilege Of proving their titles
These claims were originally supposed to amount
10 about SIS 900 900. but owing to the loss of pa
uers and the inability of many claimants at this
late day to produce proofs il is thought that they
will not be found to amount to more than one-tbird
that sum.
That there were great injuries to our commerce
about the opening of tins century; that claims IN
tine nature of indemnity therefor were, III fact
made: that these'caiin were acknowledged and
their assumption by our Government made by
treaty.u are matters of record, and the United
states avoided war with France by their abroga-
ton.
The validity Of these claims has been maintained
Inv such men as Chief Justices Marshall and Jay, by
Charles CoteswOrth Pinckney, Elbridge Gerry,
Dsniel Webster. Charles Sumner and Thomas 4.

The stock speculation to-day subjected to
numerous rumors. THE business 1897 254 shares)
was 81 900 shares less than the quantity recorded
for yesterdays transactions Nevertheless further
goodly advance in prices recorded for the gen.
era list of stocks. OF fluctuations there were more
than the usual number; that was because III the
intervals of manipulation prices quickly sagged OIL,
but quickly responded to The Vaccinations of the
large operators who are making the present move
ment. The whole situation tonight may be told in
few words: the market is purely local the trad
ing short interest is we'll closed out; large ma
jority of the board-room dealers are long of
stocks; there is no outside support to the
market. aud few. if any, of the dealers
expect or ask for more than prices which will
"let them out" without loss. Not for years has
the stock market been more Of "dOg eat dog"
market than il is now. Occasionally some lots of
stock which have been carried for long time
come upon the market, but generally the public
cares little from speculative point, whether or
not the rumors are true that negotiations for the
practical consolidation of the Western Union and
Mutual Union Telegraph Companies are as good, as
completed, or that the Lake Shore Company has
made or comtemplates an increase of its debt of
10000 900 to pay for a controlling interest in the
Nickel Plate" road. In the last few minutes of
business yesterdays tactics were repeated, and the
urgency to purchase stocks great that prices
rose l201 per cent and the market closed excited.
Government bonds were dull but strong. Bids
were advanced ls for the S. Il for the As, and y

How little way the increment of November,
1882, goes toward the establishment of an equi-
librium in our international commerce is shown by
a comparison of the total movements for eleven
months of the last three years. In 1880 the mer-
chandise exports of eleven months exceeded the inn
ports Sal 36 49, and the specie imports exceeded
the exports $53, ,66S, leaving an apparent
balance to this couutry's credit of $S7,S96O51.
For the eleven months of 1851 the merchandise
exports exceeded the imports $143, l56,639, and
the specie imports exceeded tho exports
.$47, 211 1885, leaving an apparent balance in favor
of exports of $98,404, 473. For the eleven months
of 1882 the merchandise imports exceeded the ex-
ports $1s,2S9,2O5 Ia difference from 1881 Of
$161 004 $40 and the exports specie exceededthe
imports 1884, S17 $50, leaving balance il favor OF
exports $26,32S, 1884, or $7O.176,Os9 less than
the balance for the eleven months of 1881.

st. Tammany parish is located
twenty-five miles north of New. Or

is ten miles further north, in the
interior, and IS delightfully."- located
on the Bogue Falia.
IMMIGRANTS
with O small amount OF capital and
a fair supply of industry and perse-
verance, cannot possibly do better
than locate in our parish. The eli
mate is as fine as any in the world.
The winters are generally mild, and
snow rarely tails. Spring opens
early in February. with blossom
on the peach and ounce trees, and
vegetation comes rapidly forward.
The heat OF summer is moderate,
and the unfailing breezes OF the
evening refresh man and beast efter
the labors of the day.
THE SOIL
is very productive, and admirably
adapted for raising sugar cane, cot
ton, oats, corn, rice, peanuts, etc.
The vine is indigenous, and yearly
bears large harvests of delicious
fruit. Oranges, pears, peach, plums,
ounces, figs and peeans thrive well
CATTLE AND SHEEP
Craze upon our pine lands through
out the year, and seldom are fed in
winter, thus making st. Tammany
the stock-growers' home. Farming
and stock lands can be purchased at
rates varying from 81 to SIS per
acre, and Government lands to
actual settlers
