NOTES ON INDUSTRY AND TRADE.

WHARF.-The stock held in California according
TO the report of the San Francisco Produce Ex-
change, was 26,42O,350 bushels, besides 1880
barrels -four, in all equivalent to 27,265.5s5
bushels During this crop season, all the tonnage
now at San Francisco and on the way thlther will
not suffice to this surplus of grain, so that
part of it must be carried over into another crop
wear Freights toO have been raised to 40 shllings
per ton from San Francisco for Cork, and the
present state of the markets does not encourage
large shipments. At the end OF December the
SvsiLle supply" at lake and seaboard points was
43 3S2 100 bushels, besides 22l ,4sO barrels flour
officially reported held at this city alone, and
very large but unknown quantity at other points.

10000 900 bushels of wheat, besides tho quantity
still retained by farmers for seed food market,

ouantity already turned into -four not yet con-
ahmed or exported. There is not much reason to
expect o wheat famine.
RAILROAD ToNNAGE.-The complete report Of
rail shipments eastward from Chicago in 1854, not
includina live stock dressed beef, shows that
.. s35. 1854 tons were shipped, on which, with the
low 25 cent late fairly maintained, the freight to
the seaboard should have been about $15, 100000.
1t is for this freight that the trunk lines compete so
vigorously and the reduction in average rates, from
90 cents few years ago, is equivalent to present
of $l5, 10000 year to producers and consumers
on this fraction of the railroad traffic alone. In
comparison with previous years. the tonnage Tor
1884 was larger than ever before except III 1851
the year of the railroad war. though the increase
since 1S79 as The Railroad Gazette points OUT mas
been 4lo per cent. and there are now eight roads

show an increase in tonnage since that year at least
as great as the increase in facilities for trans

The consequence was that the free-unoh fiend

ance and the liqusr-seler explained why ne came

cIded that liquor store that advertised Jree

the partaker of the lunch no matter what his eat
ing achievements was not legally bound to order
drinks that were not free.
The noble army of dead beats, tramps, and similar
gentry that earn their living by the sweat of brows
that don't belong to them cannot fail to be greatly
cheered by this decision 1t remains to be seen
what the liquor stores will do in this emergency.

THE COIL PROBLEM,

The annual statements of the output OF an
thracite and bituminous coal. and the meeting
of anthracite operators to-day to consider what
ia IN he done about the refusal of the Pennsyl-
vania to Join them, come together and cast
light on each other. The official statement
shows that the Eastern competitive movement
of anthracite in 1884 was LBS, 900 tons less
than in 1SS3-abOut per cent. But the out
nut of bituminOus coal has increased within the
districts tributary to tidewater markets at least
500, 900 tons. This increase, Notwithstanding
shrinkage in manufacturing at points formerly
suppled with bituminOus csal, indicates a
change from one kind Of fuel to the other.
many operators believe, of at least 1,OOO,oOo
tons. But this happened when the bitumnous
producers, competing with each other Sharply
were making low prices In tidewater markets.
Clearfeld sold at the beginning OF the year at
So 90 to 81 10, and at the end of the year at
So 10 to $3 80, the new supply of the Wander
bilt-Reading road being offered meanwhile as
low as So so to 81 65. The anthracite COM
panies, meanwhile, were restricting production
to maintain prices.
Now the situation has changed. The btu
minous carriers have combined to fix the price
at IlucWdIeI, anu piOpOSc W ~ "" ~"'
while the anthracite companies are no longer
able to agree, and some of them have taken
large contracts to deliver good qualities at
prices little if any above $3 per ton. The
PENNSYLVANIA refuses to bind itself, with other
anthracite companies, as to its output OF that
kind of coal, though out of 3,169,2S7 tons
moved by that road in 1884, 2,25OOS7
tons were mined by four companies which the
Pennsylvania controls. But at the same time
it agrees TO limitation Of price for bituminOus
coal, which must tend to check the diversion OF
consumption to btuminOus rather than anthra-
cite, and to r. ore to the anthracite producers
the control of the market. Both classes OF
producers have reduced wages during the past
year in effect the bitumin0us operators to 40
cents per ton, and the anthracite operators by
cutting down the year to about 200 working
days-for the number Of:idle days last year was
| IO3, against 60 in 1888. Among the miners
there is much dissatisfaction, but the policy OF
! the companies tends to increase the depend
ence Of miners, since the number employed Is
far in excess of the number required to main
tain the present output, if kept at work all the

KILLING A Tariff BY CONSTRUCTION.

KILLING 11RlfF BY CONS1RUCIION.
Americans often have occasion to laugh at
British ignorance of our institutions. But
whenever British trading or manufacturing in
terests are involved. there is shown in England
a clearer understanding of the effect Of events
here than some Americans seem to possess. Ii
is not long since there went up from Pharisees
and Democrats chorus of prOtestation that the
election of Mr.. Cleveland would have nothing
whatever to do with the tariff. Were these
people honest, or were they more ignorant, as to
the consequences OF their ownvotes, than far
off British Observers
A review of the Huddersfeld woollen trade,
issued by Godfrey Drake g. Sons, discussed the
condition of the trade with various countries in
1884, and the prospects for the future. AS to
the United States, it does not anticipate
"any large reduction of the tariff itself y at
present, which is sensible, because, though Mr..
Cleveland and Democratic House have been
elected, there is to be a Republican Senate, and
the Democratic majority in the House is also
much reduced But this English circular never
theless looks for an important change through
the action of the Treasury officials who cOnstrue
and enforce the tariff. "There will now be a
more liberal rendering of the tariff" it says,
and this it rightly maintains will be found Of
great Importance to foreign interests. The
power of Treasury officials to change the con-
structiOn of the law, as past events have shown
is very great. With an Administration dis
posed to help the foreign importers, and regard
ing the manufacturers as licensed robbers, "
grasping monOpOlists," and public enemies, u
the tariff can be in great degree deprived of
protective efficiency.
1t may be supposed by many that an appeal
can be taken to the courts, and a just construc-
tion Of the law can thus be established. But
this advantage Is secured to the importers
alone. If they do not like the decisions OF the
Treasury, they can indeed appeal, and many
thousand such appeals are now pending. But
if the decision is in favor of foreign interests
and against the home manufacturer, what can

An account of the religious services at the
House of Refuge, Randalrs Island, is printed
elsewhere in this paper and is recommended 10
the prayerfu consideration of all persons
now engaged in advocating at Albany the
measure known as the Freedom OF worship
bill. A perusal of it may induce them to con.
slider more carefully whether after all the bill
which they urge is wise. The service when
the children attend contains nothing that has
in it the least sectarian bias. On the contrary,
that has been carefully avoided. Simple faith
in God and sound morality are taught, and
there the lesson ends. Surely this is the KIND
of instruction which boys and girls who are
more or less vicious should receive rather
than the dogmas or the theological ideas OF any
particular Sect The object of the whole instl-
tuition is refOrmatOry, and it seems clear that
It's usefulness would be seriously crippledlf the

Democrats who hoped that the election of a
United States Senator at Albany would leave
the Republican party divided and angry are
now wailing and gnashing their teeth in quiet
way. What they desired has not come to pass,
but the contrary. Their opponents are heartily
united, and as our Albany letter shows are

the State this fall. Governor Hills sugges-
tions in regard to the appointment of census
enumerators is proof that the Democrats see
how desperate their situation is in view of the

For many years heavy stone foundations
nearly covering the block at Fifty -ninth-st.

sers by and it was commonly supposed that
fortress was constructing there. 1t was fort

one of the largest and finest places of worship

Twenty pardons have been granted recently
by the Court of Pardons in New Jersey, much
to the disgust of honest citizens. Some Of the
favored cOnvicts had been imprisoned for
crimes of the lowest order and more than one
was undergoing his second term. There is O
pronounced curiosity, to put it mildly, to know
what system the court has adopted in releasing
prisoners whose temperance in public may be
expected at an early date. The need of a
thorough reform in the whole plan of punish
ments, rewards and combinations in New
Jersey has been evident for some time and this
action of the Court of Pardons sstrengthenspub-

To the Editor of THE HERALD
Allow me short space in your col
umns to say that the election is over,
and not broken head in the commu-
nifty and no Irish wakes on hand, al
though we have an Irishman here OF
great official capacity who is threaten
ing what he will do with all these Nor
mons, and that this is the last election
to be held by the people, that the Uni
ted States Commissioners will hereafter
appoint the loyal candidates, and in
stall them, and the Mormons will have
to submit. The prophet Baalam owned
an ass that, 1t is said, reproved the
prophet in mildness. But our ass-com-
missioner is harsh in expression, 10 saw
the least; but we have not lost faith In
the whole people inside of the confines
of this great American Republic, and
thus allow the spleen of eur modern
hero to exude, Talk of the fee
fiends, indeed Our Mormon-eating
hero has charged this county SAL
for examining the poll list. and register
ing about three new votes in this pre-
cinct, and with that wanton astuteness
and bald-headed presumption asserts
that it is all needless expense; that if
the country was altogether governed by
commission and these rebel Mormons
were not allowed vote, it would be
cheaper for the Territory. We diop the
curtain here on the choice of the Blue
Grass Governors appointment in hon.
oring US with a full-hedged United
