Pitable Condition of the Old Striking
Reading Employees.
PHILADELPHIA, May 10-The old en-
ployes of the Reading railroad who were
discharged on account of the recent strike
have issued a circular stating that they are
in abject want and asking councils to pro-
vide them with employment. They say
that the Reading managers will not take
them back, and their distress in conse-
auence is deplorable. These men live in
Port Richmond, and agree to drop all labor
organizations if the company will give
them another trial. 1t is probable that
councils at their meetings on Thursday will
take some action in the matter. Many Of
the strikers, with their families, have been
compelled TO go to the almshouse.

Western Rural says: "None of what
we call our native stock e anything
like fair chance. If we buy a high
priced improved dairy COW we think
nothing too good for her. We are almost
inclined to take her into the parlor, and
If we do not, we do not think that the
parlor Is any too good for her. She gets
the best food that the farm affords, and If
that Is not first class, we buy that which
IS. If there is anything OF merit in the
animal it cannot keep from coming out

AGRICULTURAL DEPRESSION The
depression OF agriculture in England Is
beginning to excite alarm. The Minister
of Agriculture in hisreply to the Queen s
speech said the subject was of greater
Importance than the Irish question,
forming, perhaps the greater problem of
the time. The loss by deficient agricul-
tural values was estimated for the year
1885 at 1914 100000. 1t could not now
be less than $25O,O0O 900, an amount
equal to a reduction of one-fourth in the
export trade of the country. Many
thousands of acres of land had gone out
OF cultivation, and there had been con-
current decrease in cattle and sheep.
Another effect of the depression was to
increase the masses of the unemployed.
Reliable estimates showed 100000 per-
sons we're idle, owing to the paralysis of
agriculture, while those employed were
forced to work at greatly reduced wages.

No Waste in Sugar Barrels.

'The great majority of the sugar and mo-
lasses hogsheads which are exported in this
city" said a well known importer to a re-
porter, find their way back to the West
Indies again. The hogsheads are bought
from the dealers by some enterprising firm,
who take them apart, clean the slaves and
bind them up into shocks or bundles, and ex-
port them, together with their heads, to
Cuba. One firm have yard in Soutl street
In which they prepare 1900 hogsheads per
week for export The export trade in new
shocks to the West Indies is also an impor
tant one, these last selling at from 81 to
Sl.75, while the second hand shocks bring
fifty to seventy-five cents. The stave trade
OF New York is IN the hands of a few firms,
and as more than 81, 500, 900 worth of cooper
age stock of this kind is exported, in addi-
tlon to what is used in the immediate vicin-
ity, the business is large one. The slaves
which are so largely exported frem New
York to the Mediterranean and to England
are white oak. They come from tts West,
largely from Michigan. Slaves are usually
exported in the rough or unfinished state and
range all the way from $50 to $3.50 per
thousand for hogshead slaves and $50 to $500
for the finer grades, such as are used for the
higher priced goods, and are known to the
trade as pipe staves-New York Mail and
