Trade Fairly Active, with Prices Unchanged
COLLECTIONS Easier.
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. II.
No fault could be found with the character of
the weather to-day or the condition of the
country roads. There were a considerable
number Of merchants in the city, and trade was
fairly active. probably in volume equalling, if not
exceeding, any previous day of the year.
Wholesale men report collections easier.
Dry goods men are beginning to
notice some Improvement in their trade,
with q tendency to higher prices, with
especially in cotton goods. The Boston
Advertiser says. in speaking of the dry goods
market: There is a stronger tone to the cot
ton goods market, and prices are being ad-
vanced. This is caused principally by the &C.
ton Of the Lowell manufacturers, who have
voted to advance the price of labor in their mills
10 per cent, and necessarily the prices of the
manufactured goods have to be marked up to
keep pace with the cost of making. With the 10
per cent advance, wages will be about the same
as ruled before the reduction two years ago.
The present value of goods did not warrant the
advance in wages, but manufacturers were
obliged to make the move TO protect themselves,
and agents are now being instructed not to take
new orders, except at hgureS that will cover the
increased cost of manufacture. At old prices
large lines could be placed. but the higher
cost checks the demand to some ex-
tent. There is an active business do
ing in the jobbing trade, with good
orders being received from travelling statesmen in
the West The trade in January was good, and
thus far the business in February has been ac-
tive. There is a steady movement in prints. at
about opening prices. Jobbers report a satisfac-
tory distribution of shirtipgs. indigoes. fine
~sateens. wide prints and foulards. Dress ging-
lam and staple goods are moving fairly, both
with jobbers and from first hands. Seersuckers
are selling well. Dress goods continue active,
all wool goods being freely placed. both by manu-
f~acturess and iobbers. Mems w~oollens are doing
still better, but buyers are operating rather eau
tiously as yet. although some orders are being
placed. The tone is firm, and prices ruling are
a little above a year ago. The produce market
is more active than at any time in the last few
weeks. Eggs and pultry are in light supply;
prices strong and tending higher. Potatoes are
arriving more freely, but firm at quotations.
Cabbage and onions in good demand at the re-
Gently advanced prices. In groceries a fair dis
tribution is in progress at unchanged prices.

active and in good demand; prices higher all

Changers in Council,

The Pomona Grange for Cumberland
berland County met at Duck Pond with
the Westbrook Grange on Wednesday. The
session opened with one hundred and fifty
members present, Worthy Master, S. B.
Gunnison in the chair. The records of the
last meeting were read, and an address of
welcome was made by Mr.. Lowell, responded
to by the Master.
After the routine business, the question lis
farming as remunerative as other employ
ments'' was considered and discussed by
Messrs. Lowell, Bell, Sweetser, Gunnison
and Mclaughlin. The meeting then adj
journed for dinner. The grangers present
proved two things, the possession of good
appetites and the excellence, and abundance
of the dinner. After dinner the fifth degree
was conferred on thirty seven candidates.
1t was voted that the next Pomona meet
ing be held with Presumpscot Grange on
Wednesday March 18th, and also voted that
the chaplain of each subordinate grange re-
port the condition of his grange at the next
Pomona meeting. 1t was voted that the lee
turer consult with the Master of each subor-
dinate Grange, in the limits of this County
Grange, as to the expediency of establishing
''Grange reading circles" in the County
Grange and report at the next meeting. 1t
was voted that the thanks of the County
Grange be extended to Westbrook Grange for
the cordial welcome and generous hospital
ity. The Grange then closed

Sugar and MoIasses.

The only Portland house importing raw
sugars is that Of Geo. S. Hunt & Co., who
import for the Forest City Sugar Refining
Company During the year 1885 they i'm
ported directly from the West Indies and
elsewhere, II, 234 hogsheads, 36S tierces, S72
barrels and II 1868 bags raw sugar; besides
1914 hogsheads, 81 tierces, 967 barrels and
1851 bags, purchased in domestic markets
and brought to Portland by rail and water !;
an aggregate of 22,S0S hogsheads. 449 tierces,
1889 barrels, and q ,496 bags. The amount
of raw sugar used Tor melted at the refinery
during the year was 41,74S,S9S pounds, the
value of which was $2,172, $685. EThe duty
alone ON this sugar paid into the Portland
custom house aggregates $594,214.S2.
AS to molasses, as the Eagle boiling house
was not in operation the last season, the inn
portations were small and of grocery grades,
amounting to only 3,846 hogsheads, 800 tierces
and 17s barrels. This was imported by the
three importing houses of Geo. S. Hunt &
Co., Twitchell, Champlin & Co., and e.
Churchill & Co., the first named being the
largest importers. These importations ag-
gregated 456,172 net gallons, the duty on
which was about SIS, 166.SS. Thus it will be
seen that the total duties paid on sugar and
molasses alone in 1885, at the Portland GUS
tom house, amounted to the sum of $612, 321.-

Rev C. "a Daniels, Lecture

Notwithstanding the rain last evening the
Rev. c. I'll. Daniels was greeted by good
sized audience when he arose to give his
lecture on 1.-THE Triumph Of Common
Things The aim of the lecture was to
show that the common things of life are the
useful things, and that this is coming to be
recognized more and more every day.
Instead of attempting great deeds, and
looking to great things, we should give ouI
attention more to common things. What God
can afford to make man can afford to study.
The best novels and poems call attention to
common things. Landseer preferred to
paint dogs to kings Burns gave his atten'
ton to the lowly and the poor. Bret Harte
could find in the sage brush of the far West
something worth describing He could see
and describe the heroism of common things
Aggassz, whom we honor, was satisfied
with bugs and insects Dickens did moi
wander in mansions and palaces, parliament
or courts unless it were police courts; his
characters were taken from those who were
in the humble walks of life. In short oul
greatest authors, scientists, and artists are
those who give their attention to common
things.
The history of former days was the history
of kings; the people did not exist: we 1--we
in the age of the people, the age OF common
things. Every farmer can have the weather
predictions 1t is the glory of our day thai
things are being lifted up from the bottom
The spirit of the times" is to promote the
interests of the common people.
s.He who would be greatest among you lei
him be servant OF all.

Social Event.

That the West Cumberland Farmers Club

thing by halves, was clearly proven Thurs

afternoon in friendly chat, the ladies took
possession of the kitchen, and the odor OF
the coffee and tea which soon pervaded the
atmosphere told palmer than words that
business was meant The tables were soon
spread with viands eft for king Five

mortals, and yet more than twelve basket

handsome ash chamber set, spring bed, easy
rocker Gor the mother of Mr.. Shaw, black
walnut extension table, largest size, dozen
cane bottom dining chairs, dress pattern,
