eminent, whic! drives the Irish
members to drJend on Gladstone
for any material advancement. 1t
looks now as if he would be able to
bring together all the parties and
supporters who are in antagoDism to
Salisbury and obtain a united vote
on any proposition which will tend
to weaken or destroy the Tory
Ministry.
PERUVIAN POLITICS.
a Lima special says: Cacercs is
the man of the hour His accept
ance of the candidature for the
Presidency, "not as reward but
as a duty" as he says, is hailed
with joy. All of the departments
so far heard from are in line. Pierola,
now en- voyage from France, is the
only person who can cause trouble,
and even he in only sight degree.
There is more confidence in business
matters. The new Government is
evidently anxious to remove the
burden on commerce imposed by its
predecessors. All the ports are
open and trains run into the interior
without molcstation.
ONLY HOPE OF DE LEssEPs.
A leader in the New York Journal
Of Commerce, Jan. 18th, says:
There is some reason to expect that
within three months the Panama
Canal will be abandoned as failure
unless the French Government
chooses to help it with n loan or
guaranty. If the French Commits
sioner, sent to examine the work,
can resist the Establishments of De
Lesseps, who will be on the spot to
receive him, lie will not commit his
Government to an undertaking which
probably will be as unfortunate rs
Napoleon's intention in Mexico.
LOCKOUT OF CIGAR-MAKERS.
The great lockout of cigar makers
was to have taken place JIM New
York on Jan. Goth, when 1000
would be out of employment for an
indefinite time. There were 1000
tenement cigar-makers already out
on strike, and by February the en-
tire number of cigar-makers without
work in that city will reach II, 900.
The manufacturers have decided on
the lockout because the men will not
accept reduction in the schedule
ranging from so cents to SO per
1000 cigars. President Strasser of
the International Union took the
affair very calmly. He said the
manufacturers had made mistake
in declaring that they have sufficient
| goods to tide them over lockout.
They might if it only lasted five
weeks, but beyond that they could
not stand it. The Union was pre-
pared for a long struggle. The lock-
out in Cincinnati had lasted eleven
months and cost the Union over
Sl50,000, and they could do better
than that now. He thought this
would be desperate contest.
| WOOL AND WHEAT.
A. M. Nichols, who is On the way
home to England from Australia,
where he had large sheep ranch, in
an interview in New York said
"The wool market of Australia is
very low. Last year was bad
year and prices were very bad. They
lay it to the increase in the exporta
ton of wool from the River Platte
country. l think it comes somewhat
from lack of quality in the wool
Australian people are too apt to g
in for raising wool in the easies
way, and they don't get the hes
quality in that way" Dwight, man
ager of the great Dwight farm il
Dakota, said to q reporter: "W'
take no interest whatever in all thi
talk about India wheat, for the rea
son that we raise u quality of whea
which places us in better marke
always. Dakota wheat has harde
berry than any raised even in thi
country. The Indian wheat berr,
is very soft md not to be compare
with anything raised in this country
1t makes a poor quality of -four"
