Some Encouraging Features in the
Trade Situation,

Trade Situation,
Jne OF the mos. encouraging features of
he trade 81 ultion last week was the an
nouncement of advanced wages in the leading
cotton mills to go into effect Mach l. In
Eastern Pennsylvania and in Cleveland adj
vances have been made in iron manufacture,
and in Westmoreland county, near Greens
Lurg, an advance in miners wages was made
to take effect Immediately.
The next important feature is the strong
financial movement ot;ceable in New York
Loans increased at the rate of neary 81 ,OOO,.
LOO per day and the deposits increased more
than $4,000, 900 for the week. Revived cir
culatioa is setting in at the heart of the fl
nancial system. The surplus reserves de-
the country also decreas d. The gradually
'essening number of mercantile disasters is
specially encouraging, but the fact Sill
holds good that the foreign trade is excee J.
ingly depressed. The shipments of al classes
Of domes ic produce declined in January in
comparison with the same month Of las.
year. 1t is a singular coincidence. verified

trade abroad lan.ushes the failures at home

believe that an extensive snl increasing for
eign trade is essential to the business pros,
perity of TIE United States but the belief is
| subject to some modification by facts.
| The sppcu' ative markets have been highly
mixe1. They ell have the appearance of
being under the hand of Pc yerful manipula-
tors, who operate them in dyf Of tho
laws of demand and supply. The supposed

price beyond the Stripping pcia.- and much of
tie foreign trade in that cereal is finding OUT

polLts. Wheat has em quiet, tut the ex-
port demand sa to be improving, and
bet er prices are looked for. There is not
much investment demand, however. r lilway
shares have been strong in the face of de
creaSng earnings, rate cutting, threatened
foreclosures and probable damage by floods.

Three Life-Savcrs and Eight Sailors
Drowned off Barnegat.


The Austrian bark Kraljcica, bound for
New York with cargo Of salt from Porto
Re, was driven ashore at Barnegat shoals on
the New Jersey coast during the recent heavy
storm. The shock damaged her to such an
extent that Captain Mateve ervlue and
the crew of thirteen sesmen aban-
doned it and started out in
the long boat in the fog for shore Captain
Ridgway, of Life Saving station II, discov-
cred the wrecked bark at daylight and
manned the large surf boat with u
crew of six life savers. He pulled ont
through the fierce breakers to the wreck
He turned tho boat back. however,
when he found the bark deserted There was a
terrific sea and every moment was eciouS to
the life savers, The crew rowed desperately to
make their way to shore, but Just as they got
within a hundred yards of the beach wave
struck the boat brLa dside, overturned it in an
instant and flung the life say II into the sea.
They chung to the boat for long time in
the desperate hope that it might be carried
upon the beach by the breakers But it kept
drifting further and further from Shore and
Mt last they let go and started to swim to the
beach. Captain Ridgway and three of the
crew reached the sands in safety, but Solomon

The long boat of the bark had drfted with

WEST MONROE DOTS.

FROM OUR REGULAR REPORTER,
w. d. Ray, high Sheriff of Ward seven,
arrived in town this morning with four
prisoners charged with bulldozing one
noffensive old darkey by the name of Tom
Elderage OF the Cadeville settlement. 1t is
charged that they beat the old man, un-
mercifully and without cause. We must say
that this mode of seeking revenge for petty
differences is becoming OF too frequent
occurrence and parties guilty of such
offenses should meet with their just reward
at the hands of the law.
We would suggest to the Compress Com
pany that this is the better side to locate
their Compress as the switch track is
already laid.
Business was very good in town to-day.
The oil mills will shut down operations
in few days when the welcome hum OF
the machinery will not he hea.d for short
while.
The Jno. II. Hanna discharged the lar
gest freight of the season here to-day and
took on 80 bales cotton.
Capt. w. II. Oaks has volunteered his ser.
vices and entered upon the duties of Mar
shal OF our town, having made his frs
arrest last night. We know that the Capt
will make good and efficient officer.

RAILROAD COMMISSION.
MONROE, La, May 90, 1886.

r MONROE, La, May ~, 1886.
Editor l2elegraph.h = Y tlsst
After carefully reading the article!
in recent issues of your valuable paper
on Railroad Commission Bills which
have been introduced in the State Leg
islature, the writer is prompted tC
ask /: What could a Railroad Conn.,
mission do with through traffic rates
OF principal Impotence? For instance:
If New York, Chicago, st. Louis
Cincinnati et cetera firm ship an in-
voice OF goods to B. in Louisiana az
rates agreed upon at either of the above
named cities, or for that matter, be-
tween any two given points between
the shipper, transporter and consignor,
the latter leaving the matter Of. freight
rates to the shipper, which is general
ly customary and, in fact nec-
essary, l ask What can CONS
missioner in Louisiana do about it
in the event of complaint Does not
such a case more properly belong to
and is it not entirely under the control
of Congress under the inter. State Com
mercial Laws? 1t appears to the
writer that the most that State Com
mission could do would be to try to
regulate local tariff of secondary con,
sideration. Would this be of sufficient
importance to justify the payment of
salaried officials at a probable cost OF
$500 to $4,000 year 1 think not
Again, is it certain that those officials
would not regulate the tariff to an ad-
vantage to the railroads? Is is not posi-
BILE that they might for lack of exper-
fence or knowledge antagonize railroad
capital to sach an extent as to repel or
prevent its coming into the State
Capital is timld as we all know; and it
seems to me that railroad capital
would not be apt to 60 where Others
than the investors would control and
manage it. Railroad companies are
composed of individuals who are like
all other men. 1t would be no easy
task to find any class of men who
would be willing to allow somebody
else to manage their individual mat
tiers and especially their capital.
Yours,
CITIZEN

ABOUT CHILDREN.
Live Words Uttered by IL Careful Observer
of Human Nature.

ANN "o1NS IVA ~ " oobCA
of Human Nature.
There is q growing tendency to hasten
the Development of children. AS soon
as a babe shows intelligence. and notices
persons and things, the parents and 9TH
cr members of the family begin to at
tract its attention in VARIOUS ways, and
talk to it, and lift it about, and shake it,
and call every ones notice to it, and try
to make it talk, and in every way bring
it forward. And after it can walk and
begins to talk, some one is constantly
talking to and teaching it something or
ether; and as soon as any n comes in
they begin to show it off. Baby can say
and do so and so, and it is set upon ex-
hibitioh and made the whole subject of
conversation, and will distract the
attention of a roomful of people, max
ING it more or less unpleasant for nearly
all who nave to see and hear it.
Now, a bright, healthy child is always
a.pleasant sight, and should be reasona-
bly, noticed, treated kindly, kept warm
and comfortable, and all its real needs
supplied, and sufficient means of anus
ment provided; but then, let it alone
and not keep constantly fussing over it,
amt giving it Al impression that it is
OF more consequence andit wants para
mount to all others. Mothers and
grandmothers, and aunts. too, lay the
foundation of a great deal of trouble,
veNation and modification often by
lnJudlcious fussing and talking and
meddling. If Il child is pretty, every
one can see it plainly enough, and
ought to know better than to comment on
1t before or il" its hearing, and if it has
pretty and cunning little ways, and
makes now and then a cute or wise re-
mark let the family enjoy them quietly
ahd unostentatiously, and not tell it
over and over again to every body who
comes in.
Don you see that is just the way to
make a child pert ard forward and self
'Sh' anu eventually to be fisliked and
summed and ridiculed? While we all
a"hilre and love a nice, modest, we'll
