 THnoRnn

Secretary Colds Apple esSPeculation-
 He Gave Them Away.
 Secretary Gold, of the State Board of Az riculture, shipped 124 barrels of apples to England this fall, on speculation. Returns just received show that only twenty six bar rels reached Liverpool in frst-class condition and sold at the prices quoted as No. fruit Ten of these were Greetings, eight Pear mains. seven Ba1dwins, and Hubbard ston. Not less than eighty-one are returned as slacked, packed while "open," shown" :" 'Ewet,'' and Slightly wet" characterized the rest None were in very bad condition as the prices show, but while the ten barrels of best Greetings sold at $2 16, the fourteen slack packed and open brought only 1.S6, and while the seven barrels of best Baldwins brought $2. A, and the nineteen slack-packed and open sold at $2. 10. The lowest figure was reached on eight barrels of slack-packed Peoks Pleasant, at $1.74, but about forty sold at $1. 80, the Baldwins going highest us before mentioned at $2.44.
 The expenses were: Freight to New York, s36; carriage, $39.3O; steamer to Liverpool, S94. .52; dock and sale expenses, $23.34 commission. S12.53. The 124 barrels sold his actual receipts $7945, or only about 69 cents per barrel. Dedueting the cost of bar rels at forty-one and one-half cents each and he received for his apples only twenty one and half cents barrel. Deducting cost of picking and carriage to the depot Mir. Gold finds that he just about gave away his apples Some of his neighbors sold their apples at sixty-fve cents per barrel to parties wh6 furnished the barrels and picked the fruit. and Secretary Gold will probably send no more apples to Europe on his own ac- count t-Winsted Herald.

Foreign news Items Condensed.

Colonel Stewart, who was wounded at
the recent engagement at Ell Metammah,
is recovering.
The Mahdi has been strongly reinforced,
and is still in the neighborhood of Ell
Metammah.
In London warnings have leen given
that attempts would be made to blow up
the Law Courts, the British Museum, and
the Bank of. England with dynamite.
Extra guards have been placed at these
buildings, and precautions taken to pre-
vent any attempt being made.
From the United States we learn that
several State Legislatures have passed
votes expressing adherence at the recent
dynamite outrages in London, and bills
have been introduced to render penal the
hatchings of any plots in the States.
From Berlin, it is reported that bill to
grant a subsidy to a line of steamers to
Australia, but not to Samoa, was rejected.
From Rome, in the Chamber of Depu-
ties, the Italian Secretary of Foreign

He referred especially to the entente cor
dale between England and Italy with
regard to the Red Sea Coasts, and de-
cIared that the italian action in Egypt was
parallel with that of England.

THE GOLD QUESTION.

Referring to the non-return of gold
to the Treasury by Messrs. Bishop
& Co. for part of the silver coin they
sold for the Government, the Guide
says: 1.-THE ADVERTISER does not
explain that Bishop & Co. were not
the owners of those notes; that they
acted as agents for clients; that the
transaction had the full sanction of
the Government, and that by so
doing, the Government was imme-
diately $4,000 better off, The AID
vERTIsER stated the exact facts, and
these "eXplanations" are all inaccu-
rate First: Whosesoever the notes
in question may have been, Bishop
q Co. acted as principals in taking
share in the tender for the silver
coin. Second: The transaction did
not have the full sanction of the Gov
eminent, but the settlement made
was forced upon it under threats.
Third: There is no reason to believe
their undertaking strictly, and alb
stained from that action which is
their excuse for the breach of their
engagements, the Government would
have been called upon for $4,000 or
$4,000 in gold on 1st December; for
though such a course may have been
contemplated by holders of notes
when exchange was high, the mo-
ment that it fell to a normal rate the
inducement for such a course was
gone. Moreover, as we have already
said, what other people may have
threatened to do is no excuse for
what Messrs. Bishop & Co. actually
did, more especially as in depriving
the Treasury of $4,000 in gold and
satisfying with exchange" other
persons who were supposed to be
about to act similarly they undoubt-
edly secured their usual profit on the
transaction. We do not for one mo-
ment believe that that rush on the
Treasury, the fear of which is the
excuse put forward in this case,
would ever really have been made.
But if it had been, we still say-better
so than have that happen which did
happen.

The Sugar Trade of 1854.

The following is the abstract of the
article on this subject in. the New
York Shipping and Commercial List,
from which quotation appeared in
Yesterdays P. G. ADVERTISER:
New York, January 26-The an
nual sugar trade of the United States,
exclusive of the Pacific Coast, during
the year ending December 81, 1884,
as reported by the Shipping and COM
nerciaI List, shows the following in
teresting particulars: The total re-
ceipts of foreign sugar at all American
ports on the Atlantic seaboard were
1,133, 1854 tons of 224O pounds, of which
63,643 tons were exported to Canada,
and 8S,917 tons remained on hand;
showing that 981, 404 tons of raw for
eign sugar was consumed in this
country during the year. The home
production of the Southern States
was 135, 443 tons, which gives the
grand total of sugar consumed in the
United States at 1,116,847 tons, or
51.70 pounds per capita. The increase
of consumption for the year was 65,-
49, tons over that of 1888.
"Beet root sugar, of which $4,000
tons were received from Europe dur
ing the year, already challenges cane
sugar for the control of the markets
of the world. The year just past has
been a disastrous one, and the mar
ket value of raw sugar has in many
instances gone below the cost of pro
duction. This has born most disas-
trously on the producing countries,
as the heavy failures in Europe and
the distress in Cuba bear witness.
'In almost every sugar-producing
country the latest advices received
point to a supply of cane and beet
root in excess of last year; but how
much of this will be harvested and
turned into sugar will be determined
by the future market value of the
commodity.
"The steady shrinkage of prices has
brought the market value of raw
sugar to the lowest point recorded in
thirty-five years. The year opened
with fair refined selling at Ills
cents, and although during the month
of August it had fallen to 4 I1-16
cents, decline of two cents, the best
price afterward obtained was 4 1916
cents, an advance of only one-eighth
Of a cent, and the year closed with At
cents the best obtainable price. The
average price for the year for the
standard grade was 525 cents, the
lowest average price since 1854. That
this value is below the cost of produc-
