MEMPHIS APPEAL.
TUESDAY, : FEB. 1e, 1856.
THE nnaIrRss SITUATION.

AnO AAN aAAuk-AOhe0 A1NaA41 f1b
lished in onr telegraphie columns this
morning are necessarily defective,
owing to the interruption OF ~tIanspor-
tation from heavy rains in the East
and elsewhere, but they are amply
sufficient to show the general course
of trade. Comparing the total ex-
changes with tho,e of the correspond
ing week last year, the week ending
February 18th, showed an increase Of
$3.50 per cent, or, excluding NewYork,
of "a 8 per cent W. see, therefore,
that, spite OF u~niavolable weather,
the trade of the country is still gaining
upon that Of a week ago. Referring to
cities in which Memphis is interested,
we find hat the following cities had,
compared with 1885, increased clear
ings: st. Louis to the amount Of 1871
per cent, Cincinnati Of 10.6, New Or
leans OF 1873, Louisville Of 81, Kansas
City OF $50 per cent. Memphis, 23.5
per cent. decrease. New Orleans made
a favorable show in the list, with a
gain of 10 s per cent. Money remains
plentiful and cheap at New
York; borrowers on call, stock
collateral, get it at ll@2 per cent. The
Bank of England is gaining money,
and its proportion Of eserve to liabil-
tiles amounts to 473 per cent. the dis
count rate remains at 8 per cent. The
New York stock exchange market was
very firm, owing TO the..sca'city Of COM
mercial and security bills; ttsrling
nominal at 4Ss for sixty dsyp, 90
for demand. Governments will lose
very heavily, some estimates say $751;
100000, by the Supreme Court de-
cision that the packages in which i'm
ported goods arrived were rot sub act
TO tax. Much trouble is expected,
owing to this decision, and perhaps
extensive drawbacks OF money that
has been wropgfully taken from the
importers will have to be allowed,
owing t. the r%evenueI officers having
disregarded the law Of 1883, which
plainly says: 1.-THE value OF usual and
necessary sackg, crates, boxes, or COZ
ering Of any kind, shall be estimated as
part OF the value OF the goods in de-
termining the amount Of duties for
which they are liable" The officers
did not blunder, they rimply disre-
garded and violated a clear pro-
vision Ct the law. The change
is, fortura,ely, in favor OF the
purchasing public. The silver mud
die in Congrets is as much a mudCle
as ever, because Congress has not the
discretion to set le q business matter
upon business principles. Shall we
use silver dollars2 II 30, have we
enough Of them coined to supply all
demands 10 all that needs attending
TO. The New York Herald reports the
value Of the silver In a dollar ct rs
cents and nine-tenths Of a cent. 1t 10
stated that much gold is becoming
boarded, owing to the expectation
that some Of these days the silver dol
lar will fall 20 cents below the gold
one, and gold be at a premium as it
Vas during thu wa.

THE CONDITION OF TRADE.
THE GENERAL INDUSTRIAL OUT.
LOOK STILL FAVORABLE.
The Demand Still In Excess OF the
supply, With Prices Firm
Iron Interests.


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, February TO-
Within the past six days a great many
orders for material, from Locomotives,
cars and heavy stationary engines
down to textile goods, hardware, iron
and steel material, have been placed
in manufacturing establishments
throughout the New Eogland aud
Middle States. Within a week there
have been orders placed for between
sixty aud seventy loco ro.ives, and
agents are about completing negotia-
tons for almO;t as many more. The
general industrial cond tons continue
favorable. Demand ID ttill in excess
OF supply, and prices are firm for eli
kinds OF material, nom crude to flo
ished. Large buyers are placing or
deTs carefully, lest some unexpected
weakness should be developed. The
steel rail makers are practically sold
up for Elk months. The car makers
have all they can handle for three
months. The iron and steel makers
are looking for a heavy demand in
March 10 carry them into early sum-
mel at prices nov prevailing, namely,
SIG to'Sl7 for forge at tide water,
81 40 to ~ 80 for nails, S34 so 10 S35
for steel rails; bar iron, 81 so TO 81 rs.
TEXTILE FABRICS.
The manufacturers Of carpetipgs are
extremely busy on orders f)r goods,
which are selling at 5 t. 10 cents per
yard above last year, and clothing
manufacturers are crowded with du-
plicate orders tor early delivery. The
hosiery manufactured are gaining
daily ia orders, but competition is still
holding prices down. Silk and worsted
goods are firm in price, but a1y fur
ther upward tendency goods orwo)l
will likely be arrested by the importa-
ton CT several million pounds Of wool
from the other side. The serious
strikes among the hand loom weavers
OF Philadelphia will shortly be ter
minated. Forty small manufacturers
have already yielded. Bingham and
upholstery goods, and in fact all kinds
ottextile goods are in fair request, be-
canse OF t1e depleted stocks ia West
ern and Southern markets.
BooTs AND SHOES.
Boot and shoe manufacturers fud
demand still backward, and both ioo.
beers and retailers are unwilling to pay
any advance on goods for spring and
summer delivery. Prices are a little
easier in hides and leather.
HI COAL TRADE.
The anthracite and bitum,nous coal
combinations at present writing have
rot been perfected, but only trihing
details stand in the way. A heavy de.
mald for bitnminous is assured. Con-
tracts for 100000 tons have been
placed within a week at New York
Requirements for railroad and manu-
occurring purposes throughout the
country are known 10 be very large,
and the heaviest production ever
known will be recorded this year. The
proposed syndicate, having forits oh.
iect the control o! the anthracite { af-
tic. will develop n good many obstacles
before its final acceptance Is accom-
plished, because of its ar lgonistic in

Extensive Peach-Growing.

sin my early days" SAID Mr.. Parnell
to the correspondent of The Pail Mall
Gazette, II was advised that there
were excellent chances for investment
in the south, and especially IN Geor-
gia. 1t was my idea that thus located,
there was money IN cotton, so | paid
cash down $l2, 900 for fifteen hundred
acres. To this original purchase
have since added five hundred acres,
making my possessions two thousand
acres in all. For three years plant
ed cotton, only to find it n delusion.
1t was IN this fortunate moment that
Mr.. Parnell made up his mind that
there was money in peaches. The
great peach forest is described as con-
tanning acres and acres of ground,
stretching indeed into miles, covered
with every variety of tree. The
trees, which number 100000, are
planted twelve feet apart, and are
kept trimmed to the ground, so that a
person standing can pluck the rosy
fruit from it's fastness. When the first

ter clad, fed, and housed than those
who worked or owned very small
farms.
That there are many small farms in
this country and in other countries
that are admirably titled is certain.
If one inquiries about them, however,
he will in many if not in the majority
of cases learn that they are owned and
managed by persons who have other
employments than farming. They
earn their living at profession or
trade, or have an income from money
invested, and spend sometime IN farm
ing as pastme or to crafty their
taste for rural affairs. With many
the love of farming and stock-raising
was developed quite late in life. With
good means and q considera BILE knowl-
edge of agriculture, horticulture, and
stock-raising derived from books,
they bought small farms which they
rendered beautiful and productive.
Professional men, traders, and me-
very likely to purchase and fit up
farms quite as much for affording
them pleasure as for insuring them
profit. Their attractive places COM
mand attention, and are often VISITED.
They are written up" in the papers,
and are discussed in town and country
They are often referred to as showing
what can be done on few acres of
land on which much manure is ap-
Piled and much labor expended. The
impression is given that all land
would be improved in like manner
and would be equally we'll titled if it
was divided up into very small farms
and owned and managed by persons
who gain livelihood by raising crops
and keeping stock.
Careful observation in any part Of
the country will probably convince
any person that small farms, worked
for the purpose of making money or
for gaming a living, are not as well
titled as the large ones in the vicinity
of them. The plowing is not better
done, the hand hoe is not more fire.
quently employed, and the farming
operations during the season are as
likely to be behind time on the small
farm as on the large one. The yield
per acre of any kind of crop is no
greater, and the weeds are quite as
plentiful. The labor required is nee
essarily greater. The smaller the
field the greater will be the cost per
acre of plowing it, as moro of the
time OF the teams and plowmen will
be consumed in turning. The like is
true in relation to the use of any i'm
plement drawn by horses. Observa-
tion shows that small farmers raise the
same kind of crops that large farmers
do, and that they raise them, or at
least attempt to raise them, in the
same manner. They will, if they can
buy or obtain the use of them, use
machines for doing all kinds of field
work. AS they can not be employ ed
to as good advantage on small farm
as on a large one they do not perform
as good work, while their use is at
tended by greater expense. 1t is
probable that it would be better fol
society to have the land divided into
small farms, owned and occupied by
individuals, but it IS not likely tha'
such divisions of land would result il
increased production or in better till
