The war in Storage rates between the
Continental conference and the Ham
burg American Packet company has
reached point that threatens to enguli
some of the young and less prosperous
lines. Yesterday the conference issued
circular TO their western agents, that
in the future eastward Storage rates
will be $l4, with commission Of SO to
sellers, making the real sum received
ger. Never in the history OF this port
have steerage rates reached so low a
figure, and shipping circles are, in con-
sequence, much excited. The present
price, all declare, Is dead loss on
every passenger carried, yet the
parties to tho fight are so deter
minod . that appearances indicate q
further act to follow. The history of the
war, which dates back to December 20,
1883, was discussed on every hand yes
terday. On that day the continental
conference, which then embraced the
Hamburg-Amerlcan Packet company,
was disbanded AT the request OF that
corporation. At that time the Carr line
to Hamburg was new concern and the
Packet company declared that IL wished
the conference TO disband in order Ia
fight the Carr line and protect its own
interests. The new company, then an
outside line, was selling Storage tickets
tor SIG, against $50 charged by the
Packet and Conference lines.-LN New

DIARIES FOR 1895.


AS Cora, in L'Article AZ, Miss Clara
Morris has the scope she needs for the
exercise Of her p Qliar gifts. She is
intense in her actirg and in this charac-
ter she is the apotil of emotional
drama. Never ceasing to set forth the
beautiful, she becomes the incarnation
of sin. She is pyihoness b,ended with
tigress; she has the flexuose move
ment, the crouching pose and her whig-
pered accents seem the baleful music
of death. Jewels glttering in her mid
night hair sparkle with sinister RAYS,
and when she has reached the climax
and stands linked wi h opportunity, the
pittiless CLEAN OF her eye and the awful
ejaculation OF triumphant hate is appall-
ing. The audience that greeted her last
night was made up of people from all
parts OF northern Texas. Dallas citi.
zens attended numerously, hut perhaps
tho majority who were present reside
outside of this city. Wherever they
came from, they sat dazed as people
gaze upon fascinating thing that
charms at once aud horrifies. Miss
Morris is dignified and lady-like in her
social life. Off the stage she is common
place and converses on topics OF ordi-
nary interest, as preference to her art,
which she is dislnclined to allude to,
She is known TO be entirely sane and
strictly matter-of fact. But in the role
of Cora, the Gree, she reaches points in
which sanity does not appear to retain
the mastery, Her eyes emit the light OF
lunacy and her snaky hair, wildly blow.

THE LAND OF DIXIE.
Where centuries, with ceaseless tide,
Sweep DER the nations that have died
The nations that their course have run
There lies n mighty fallen one,
In all her vestal robes, pure white,
She ncrshed in slnge night.
With prayers and tears and many Sigh,
Her lovers saw her fall and die
Upon the breast of Dixie.
They said: Alas We might have seen
Our lady fair n benuteouS queen!
And cen the foe, with batcd breath,
Looked down upon her glorious death.
Alas, alnsl then let her rest
With laurel ON her brow and breast,
Enshrlned let all her glories lie
Beneath the ver-radiant sky
That spans the land of Dixie.
The blood flowed as the red, red wine
Flows from the clusters fthe vine,
In waves above her peerless feet
Pressed out OF lives that held II sweet
To perish that twas half divine
To sleep IN death meath Freedoms shrine.
They slumber on her tender breast
The truest, iondest, bravest, best
The gallant sons OF Dixie.
Our dead how dearl with eyes tear-wet,
The living think upon them Yeti
| How sacred the memorial fires
That love In human hearts inspiros;
They burn with over seaseless ray
AS long as darkness follows day,
And immortelles their bloom shall shed
Ger marble couch or grass-grown bed,
That holds the dead OF Dixie.

The World's Grain Market.

According to the New York Produce
exchanges report, the exports Of wheat
and flour for six months, from July to
December 81, were equal to 72,7O2,0l4
bushels OF wheat, seventeen ports in
cluded.
OF the l4,64S,OOO bushels Of wheat and
wheat flour together on passage for the
United Kingdom on January |, 1885, l.
$4,000 bushels were from United State 8
Atlantic ports, ll,W4,000 bushels from
United States Pacific ports, and 2,A0,000
bushels from all other countries. Eigh-
ty-four per cent. of the whole was from
the United States.
California has exported to Europe
from July to December, inclusive, 1884,
in wheat and flour, equal to l6,l0765S
bushels, of which, on January |, 1885,
5,0G3,653 bushels had arrived at destina-
ton, leaving ll,0ii,000 bushels on pas
sage, which is divided quite evenly in
the September, October, November and
December shipments, making ll,0i4,00O
bushels to arrive in about four months
from Janury l,a 1885, or 100000 bushels
per month. British Indian by steam,
via Suez canal, is forty to fifty days
from the United Kingdom. Australia,
via the Cape, is forty to fifty days from
the United Kingdom. English supplies
from countries other than the United
States will be small for considerable
period, as the total is only 2,3i0,000 BUSH
els on passage on january |, 1885, from
these several countries together. Bet
ter prices in Europe may invite Indian
shipments, and those forty to fifty days
in passage by steam.
The English farmers deliveries OF
wheat have been from September to
December, inclusive, one-third of the
CROP season, 800, 606 quarters, or about
24,O00,000 bushels, and are now weekly
l4S.dS3 quarters, or about 100000 bush
els. Both France and the United King
dom have still liberal reserves from the
home crops available, providing prices
shall be fairly satisfactory. The stock
in France at the importing ports are
small. German stocks OF wheat arc
larger than in 1884. The key to the po'
sition seems to be in the output from
the farmers deliveries in the United
States, in France and in the United

The HERALD correspondent has just re-
turned from an extended trip into the

there have suffered very much from the
blizzard. Cattle and sheep are dying
by the hundreds. There is no use of
denying the fact, for the loss in cattle
VIII be at least 20 per cent. Horses are
faring better One sheep man has lost
more than one-half of his flock, and
they are still dying. The correspond

monster pastures of the northwest
II was thirty miles square, with about
$4,000 head of cattle and horses within
its bounds. From what was learned
from large stock-owner, the pasture
business will DO a thing of the past in a
few years. He says that when they are
hampered by a pasture fence, and not
able to get TO brakes and places to shell
ter, they will die in great numbers;
whereas 1t would be otherwise were
there no pastures.
