The greater part of the orders from either
section is for stick candies, or for goods of
those forms that will not change except at
high temperature. and for qualities that
lose not their flavor quickly. The low
prices that rule in the wholesale trade for
these candies are astonishing, being some
times within fraction of cent of the price

Nineteen mills are in operation and are be-

get as much -four shipped as possible before
the advance in freight rates occurs. Millers
report rather better demand for -four, with

week showed a small gain, despite decline
in output.
The output of -four last week was quite
heavy, though over 4,0G0 barrels below that
of the preceding week Two usually busy
mills were idle, and the only wonder is that
the product was not lighter, it being kept up
by the heavy work of those which ran. The
total amount of -four made was 131. 600 bar

THE PoET,s HEART.

Day follows day; years perish; still mine eyes
Are opened on the self-same round OF
space;
Yon fadeesS forests in their Titan grace,
And the large splendOrS of those opulent
skies.
I watch unwearied the miraculous dyes
OF dawn or sunset; the soft boughs which
lace
Round some coy dryad in lonely place
Thrilled with low whispering and strange
sylvan signs.
Weary? the poets mind is fresh as dew,
And oft reflled as fountains of the light,
His clear+chlld's soul finds something sweet
and new
Even in a weeds heart, the carved leaves of
corn,
The spear-like glass, the silvery rhine of
morn,
A cloud rose-edged, and feeting stars at
night.
