AMERICAN C1DER.-Among the articles
which Englishmen are glad to import from
this country is sweet cider. Within the last
three or four years large trade has sprung
ND between New York and Liverpool, and
a dozen merchants handle American cider
in bulk. In Great Britain, English cider,
made mostly in Devonshire, brings less
price than the American. Some cider also
goes to France, but Frenchmen are not so
fond of it as the English. The pressing Is
all done by steam in October, November
and December. The apples used are per
fectly sound; otherwise the flavor OF the cl-
der would be impaired. Last season more
than two hundred and fifty thousand onsn-
els of apples were crushed, and the product
was twenty thousand barrels OF cider. Inc
mice is allowed to ferment until it reaches
= certain stage and is then filtered through
sand to clean it thoroughly. It is drawn OH
in large watts, and is kept until it is wanted
for barrelling. The barrels are bunged very
tightly. and the cider keeps without change
for two or three years. Any stock Whlch
becomes sour by age is made into vinegar
and sells for three-tourths OF the price OF cl-

TLYDE'S STEAM LINE WEEKLY TO
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1884-10-20
General Grants Income.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
The New York correspondent of the Detroit
Free Press recently related a story in the col
umns of that journal to the effect that the $780,
900 fund, which was raised for General Grant
some years ago, had been invested in Wabash
bonds, and so, through the shrinkage in tho val
ne of the Wabash property, had gradually ceased
to be. The correspondent asserted that his au-
thority for the truth of the story was excellent
Mr.. George Jones, who is one of the trustees
for the Grant fund, was asked this morning if
the facIs, as above stated, had a basis of truth.
He said: THE story is absurd and possesses
nothing that could be tortured into a semblance
of truth. The fund is in the hands of L. d.
Morgan & Co., and is guaranteed by them. No
decline in the value of Wabash bonds can affect
the fund"
Another gentleman said: 'Mr. John T. Terry,
of the firm of f. d.. Morgan & Co, is a guar
autor of the Grant fund. 1t is true that the
$3.50, 900 is invested in 6 per cent. Wabash bonds,
but whether the interest is paid by the railroad
company or not General Grant receives his 6
ner cent?
