WalIach Clay Works.

The great increase of building
here. and the use of materials more
permanent than wood, has caused
all increase in the number of the
Asheville brick yards, and also an
introduction among Them of time
and labor saving machinery. and
such us make com petition in quail
ty with other sources of supply
easily possible. Among thes e yards
is that known, as the WALLACH CLAY
WORKS in the eastern part of the
city. under the management Of Mr..
Isidore WaiIach. The works turn
out the imitation Philadelphia
pressed brick, in plain aud fancy
designs. Philadelphia machinery is
used, and the output Is cqua. in
quality to any brought here, exec pl
possibly in ornamental fancy styles
Even in those, we are not disposed
to admit interiority, because the in.
dustry and skill of those in charge
of the works, stimulated by ambi.
ton to excel, will not suffer them to
fall behind in rivalry.
The works are of such interesting
character that we propose very soor
to make them visit and record
/ what we see.

Mr.. Editor::-Allow me a little
space in your valuable and excellent
paper for few items from this sec
ton. OF course / must say some y
thing about the political outlook, but
the crops first.
We had frost on the 30th ult which
did US very great damage-some to-
bacco crops entirely ruined, others
very seriously damaged. The far
mers of this section, as rule, have
very good crops, which I hope will
help out Grover some. / believe it is
a custom of some republicans to
charge Cleveland with crop failures
and low priced tobacco. suppose
that comes from the fact that they,
this year, are advocating free whisky
and tobacco-never before have they
favored so much. OF course the
"hand writing is on the WALL" The
contestants for senatorial honOrs
from this district addressed the peo-
pie here on last Saturday, and the
way your little Buncombe boy
(Starnes) did up the Big Ex Revenue

peeted even by Mr.. Starnes's most
devoted friends. I heard a repub-
lican say that Starnes carried off the

The State of Beet Sugar ira
Germany.

joint stock Sugar Companies in
Germany, for the year 1886 81.
These returns show the most ex-
traordinary diversity, ranging from
losses equal to Is per cent. on the
capital to profits of 80 l-3 per cent.
The tables also give the price of
beets, and here again the diversity is
very striking, and we ma. say lncom-
~prchensibIe, tor while some OF the
factories have paid but fifty pfennlgs
for beet per cwt., others have paid
over II hundred, and one 225 pfen-
nlgs per cwr. The average seems
to have been about 80 or 80 pfen-
nigS, but we note that in me case
beets were bought, under a contract,
at 100 p(pnnigs or | mark, while IN
the open market, they were obtained
tor 50 pfemnigs.
Another Extraordinary thing in
these returns is that in many cases
where the rrice paid for beets has
been low, between so and Y pfen-
nig<, there is either a loss ~hewn or
Il. nominal profit, while ON the con
trary where high prices have been
paid for beet, say from 100 to 1856
good profits have been made. We
confess rhar this is beyond us.
HE mount of beets worked up,
TOO, by each factory, which is also
shewn by the tables, bears no pro
portion whatever to the amount OF
capital invested in each case. In
deed the smallest capitals seem to
make the greatest output, nor 10 the
profits seem to bear the smallest re-
iation to the capital, or to the over
turn in beetS.
For instance, we find a capital of
4,7l4.286 marks, working up only
952. 858 cwtS. of beet, aud making a
loss of 1913, 900 marks, while another
Company, with only 100000 marks,
uses 965, 290 cwts. Of beet, and makes
profit of 43, 900 marks and writes
off 5000 for losses. Again, atdctory
with Il capital of 4,5OO,0 900 marks
turns over only $4,000 cwts. OF beet,
and makes q profit of 138,646 marks,
and wrjtes off nearly $1,000 marks Jor
losses.
Again. a capital of 5000, 600 marks
uses 650,OO0 cwt. of beet only, while
~acapital of &C., 900 only uses $4,000
