The Three Hunters of Waterbury
WaterburY LCt.l AmerIcan.

The other day three prominent sport
ing men of this city went out on a
hunting expedition. They hired a
man TO 90 with them with two famous
dogs and paid him 81 apiece. They
made a great display of their firearms
and started off in high glee at sunrise,
AT p. M they drew up at a farm
above WATERFOWL fOotsore and weary
with not feather, nor yet tail. The
kind-heartod farmer took pity on
them, set odt good dinner, and then
brought forth a Spring chicken for
them to shoot at. He charged them
% cents a shot. He had made So rs
and the bird was still alive. He there
upon took further mercy upon the
lruntsmep, wrung the fowls neck, and
presented it to them. On leaving the
house they scared up three fat part
ridges close to them, but failed TO hit
one of them. They came home and
tried to keep the matter dark. AS IT
was not murder it fought not to get out,
but it did.

American Customs Union.

WASHINGTON Jan. Representative Town
send offered joint resolution in the House to-
day requesting the President to invite the gov

American customs union. He says the objects of
the union are to develop the internal resources
of American countries, and furnish more eXten-
sive markets for the products of each. The
commerce of South America, Central America
and Mexico, Mr. Townsend says amount to
about 800, 600 annually. The imports,
mainly manufactured articles, amount to over
$500 600, 600. OF these Great Britain and France
furnish much larger amount than the United
States. The originator of the resolution is of

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-When Indiana was
called in the House to-day for presentation of
bills under the call of States, Messrs. Calkins,
Browne and Matson were on their feet and sim
ultaneously called out 'Mr. Speaker" Mr..
Calkins received the Speakers recognition and
presented bill to prohibit the importation of
wines and liquors from France and Germany, in
retaliation forinterdiction of American hog prod
ucts by those two countries, which was read by
title and referred to the committee on commerce.
Mr.. Browne introduced bill of similar i'm
port the text of which was read, and the bill re-
ferred to the same committee. In having his
bill read, Mr.. Browne secured its publication in
the Record and thus recovered the ground tenn
porarily gained by Mr. Calkins. Mr.. Brownies
measure is regarded as better than Mr.. Calkinss.
That of the latter is in the form of a bill
enacting that certain articles of merchandise,
products of France and Germany, shall be ex-
cluded from importation into the United States
regardless of the action of those countries,
while that of Mr.. Browne directs the President
to exclude such foreign products in the event of
interdiction by France or Germany of certain
American products thus making the operations
of the proposed law depend upon the action of
the two countries named, and giving the Presi-
dent authority to apply it whenever and as often
as occasion may require.
The action of France and Germany has re
suited, practically, in suppressing the importa-
ton of hog products into those countries. Dur
ing the fiscal year ending June 30 last, the value
of bacon exported to France was $4,000, and
of hams $4,000; during the same year
there was exported to Germany, of bacon,
81 300 0O0 and of hams 800, 900. During the ifs
cal year ending June 80, 1881, we exported to
France, of bacon, $4,51s,O00 and of hams $685.,
600; to Germany during the same year we ex-
ported of bacon 5000, 900, and of hams $175,-
900, showing falling off, as result of inter
diction, of about $1,000 900 in those two articles
The value of spirits, cordials and wines imported
last year, from France was nearly $1,000, 600,
and from Germany nearly $780, 000
The feeling of members of Congress on this
question is very decided and indications are that
the bill presented to-day by Mr. Browne, or a
measure equal as effective, will be passed early
during the present session.
The call of States not having been completed
to-day, motions to suspend the rules could not be
made otherwise Mr.. Steele, of Indiana, would
have asked the House to vote direct on a measure
from France and Germany so long as those
countries discriminate against importation of
American products.

REVIVAL IN THE CORN PIT,
Brisk Trading in the Cereal Causes
Decline in Prices.
The Market Dull and Steady, but Not
Weak-Wheat and Provisions Sus-
tanned by Strength of Corn.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
CHICAGO, Jan. THE annual election of Of
ficers absorbed the attention of the members of
the Board of Trade to such an extent, to-day,
that the markets were largely left to care for
themselves the greater part of the day. Shortly
before the adjournment, however, the majority
of votes being cast, interest in the corn pit
revived and soon trading became quite brisk in
that article and the ''bears" succeeded in break
ing it down several points from the opening,
which was about 1-S cent above Saturdays
close The tendency in the differ
ent values to decline is generally
accepted as an indication of unmistakable
weakness, yet this view of the situation is not
universally held in connection with the present
outlook II should consider the markets, said
a local authority, ''very dull and steady, but
not weak"
Com i in good demand on account of the scant
supply, which is also the case with pork. The
strength of corn and provisions is really all
that keeps wheat up although, during the Sc
we're weather. receipts of everything are light.
The stock of wheat is very large, and nothing
but the scarcity of and the
consequent good demand for that
article can keep the bottom from
eventually dropping out of wheat On the
call, wheat and corn were both active and lower.
Wheat broke off under sales, caused by the re-
port that 25O,0OO bushels had been posted in
New York. Corn sympathized, and, in addition
the grosser cereal was weakened by the report
of large shipments route from st. Louis, and
the report that most of the corn that came from
the Southwest was grading fairly. Some incer
ttude among dealers was created by the appear
ance of w T. Baker & Co, as heavy sellers of
February corn. Itwas also rumored that Schwartz
& Dupee were unloading. That house is leaving
the market alone at present, and, while it is
probable that, having a good round profit in
corn at or about 60 cents, they would be willing
to SELL it is not at all probable that, having the
corn, they will sell it out at sacrifice. Again,
the holders of the January corn have got large
line paid for, and they will not boost the market
during the early part of the month and thus
invite large shipments, which would
aid to beat them during the
closing days. On the contrary it would be pol
icy for Schwartz & Dupee to acquiesce in lower
prices for the present they being able, at almost
any juneture, to step in and arrest any down
ward movement which should appear to be gray
itating too rapidly.
Provisions went off with grain, despite the
small receipts of hogs, but on the call the whole
list was enlivened by the appearance of Armour
as a buyer of short ribs.
The May options are quotable tonight, as fol
lows: Wheat 81. OF 34 corn, 50 1-4c oats, 81 5Sc;
February pork, $1447 1-2 lard, $S. 81 1-2 short
ribs, $7.42 12.
No one receiving enough votes the election
for Board of Trade officers will be held again to-
morrow.
