A New York letter of the 22d says {:
Indisputable evidence Of the increasing
activity in wholesale trade was afforded
to-day by the large attendance, not only
at the commercial exchanges down town,
but also at the commission and jobbng
houses in the great dry goods district.
The former have their lines for the most
part in the speculative groove, and hence
the attendance there is not always a trust
worthy indication of the business pulse in
it's normal aspects, but when the ware
rooms and counting houses in Church,
Worth, Leonard and Mercer streets are
thronged, you may be certain that legiti-
that the crowd represent buyers from all
parts Of the country. Leading men like
Mr. H. ID. Claf1in say their country CORE
spondents all through the South and
Southwest write in more hopeful vein as
to the ability of those sections to pur-
chase goods than has been known since
the flush times four years ago, the result
of good crops, and the improving condi-
ton of the dependent industries. The
statements coincide with the information
received by the commercial agencies, with
the addendum, on the part of the latter,
that collections are improving, and bust
ness embarr assment diminishing.

He WAS taken very sick and one night while

There is an immense amount Of hay ann ually
brought TO this Stale; IN TACT, luiiy ninety per
cent of all that is used Is brought here from the
North 1t is not necessary that TINS shouid oe
so. rs is easily demonstrated. within mile oil
this Office are two genuine hay fields, one be-
longing to J. w Wellington and The other TO
William Beardall These gentlemen have been
experimenting with Florida products for num-
her of years and have proven beyond doubt
that hay can be prOftably raised in Florida
They are now the middle OF August, actually
harvesting the second crop OF hay from the same
land, and is of the very best quality OF crab
grass, averaging from one and hall TO two tons
per acre, and is worth $22 per ton in the market
The mode OF producing 10 one oil the very sun
plest kind. The land was cultivated in vegeta
bles last winter, and after the crop was gathered
the land wa simply smoothed over, the grass
seeding itself. The first crop was harvested 10
June, and nothing more was done until II was
ready for cutting again. No fertilizers were
used except on the vegetables The crop OF hay
leaves The land in better condition than 1t was
at first Our farmers should pay mere attention
to this important matter.-Sdnforrt Aryms
The chief point of interest to be noted
in the above paragraph is the brief refer
ence to the preparation Of the ground for
the grass crop, which, price and amount be-
ing stated, was worth more than the av-
erage cotton crop, acre for acre. In the
preparation of the ground for grass rails
ing will be found the chief part of a solu-
ton of the hay problem-the question as
to whether Florida must continue to pay
out vast sums annually for the grass grown
in other States If the ground be pre-
pared as carefully for grass crop as for
other crops, the yield would be at least
as valuable as some Of them-cotton, for
instance, in which the cost of cultivating,
picking, ginning and bailing makes up an
expense account that leaves very mar
row margin of profit Grass on the same
land, fertiized if you will, and leveled for
the close cut of the mower-by hand
scythe or machine--might yield hay
crop equal in value to the cotton, at
trtilng representations long months
of care and labor, and risk of rust and
caterpillars.

In the public document entitled
=" Injed States Consular Report No. 81
-Jmy, 1885," recently received from
Washington, we find the annual report
of the commerce of the United States
with the port of Messina, the city to
which Mr.. Wallace s Jones, of our
ncighboring county of Jefferson, mas been
appointed consul. l. shows that OF vari-
Gus exports to the United States summing
up $2,l35,all for the year the item
" lemons and oranges amounts to $l,-
90, 500! When it is considered that
this market from which the United
States buys over million and hall
dollars worth Of citrus fruits in sim
gle year is only one of many from which
We receive similar merchandise, it will
be realized that there need be no appre
hension that the production Of lemons
and oranges in Florida will ever exceed
the demand of a constantly increasing
population. Our fruits are superior to
the European, and the fact that these can
bear the charges imposed and come
several thousand miles to successfully
compete with ours is proof that the pro.
duction will still be profitable to Florida
growers when the price. shall be reduced
below the lowest figures that have ruled
heretofore. Those have been termed
visionary who predicted that Florida
would become the richest State in the
Union, and perhaps they were. Yet
great wealth must certainly come into
her borders, not alone to pay for her
citrus and other fruits and products,
but to meet the necessary charges OF
enjoying her matchless climate.
The sum paid to Messina, and which
would have been a snug amount for Flor
ida to earn, was direct cash drain on
the resources of the United States There
was no reel procal commerce; the mer
chandise was paid for in money, for Mes
sina did not import a dollars worth OF
anNInlnH from Jne = nlleu Nlales 10 OIsc'
her exports. And here we may quote
from the Report, which is made by Vice
Consul I.ctterio PirrOne: With exist
ing steam facilities between Messina and
the leading American ports there seems
to be no reason why attempts have not
been made as yet at the Introduction o.
American goods, chiefly cotton goods
into this market, which, Judging from
their superiority and cheapness, whel
compared with foreign ones, cannot fai
to command ready and profitable sale
.A- long as American exporters will con
| fine their efforts in order to Introduce
| their goods t" circulars alone, and disrc
gard the necessity Of establishing depot
or sample room, where buyers can inspec
| them, no business can be reasonably
cXpcctcd.'
| Perhaps during Consul Jones's tour o
duty American exporters may be induced
to practice a way Of getting back from
Messlna some OF the money paid for lem
| ons, oranges, etc.

not vouch for the absolute truth of the
story, as the wires are silent. This lat
ter may be accounted for by the fact
that with the rumor comes the assertion
that determined effort is being made
to confne the information to the limits
of Boise, and that the Associated Press
has been prevailed upon to remain
silent in the matter. A day or two will
probably bring the facts to the surface.
