PRODUCE EXPORTS.

Treasury statements just issued
show that our exports of wheat in
the first five months of the crop year
amounted to 23,034,773 bushels in
1888, and 40, 378, 243 bushels in 1887.
This reserve from export would can
eel half the deficiency in the crop,
barring the increase of 9l7,6l9 bush
els in tho export of flour. The net
export deficit is 13,700,00O bushels,
while the crop deficit was about 49,
00O, 900 bushels.
In the five months the export value
of breadstulis shipped was fifty mill
lion dollars, against siXty-three mil
lions last year, and in the first nine
months of the calendar the exports
were forty-eight million dollars less
in value, a deficit of third.
The cotton exports are $1,000, 600
larger in value in November than in
1887, but in the crop year, beginning
September |, there was IA deficit rise
to December of 81, 235,77
While our most important eX-
change resources are thus running
short, it is an inopportunc time for
the resale in New York of cur rail-
road securities by Europe.

MIST.

can rejoice that have DOT been born
In southern ciimes. where heavens are deep and
clear. M
Where stars are brighter. and the hues 81 morn
And sunset shine With richer glow than hero;
Where spring meets autumn Il the circling
year;
Where rlyrtles flower and palm trees wave on
high.
For, had lived In such an atmosphere,
The solemn giories Of q northern sky
Would bring to me not Joy, but gloom and
dread
The wells Of rainy mist that magnify
The mighty hills and glaciers round me spread,
While In the clouds is lost the mountain s head,
And every hollow to the bafied eye
Seems like q seas unfathomable bed

HIT BIRDS FLuTTER.

Who'd have thought that the in
nocent little paragraph that we
printed in Tuesdays paper, would
have raised such howl from that
strictly yirtuous sheet, the Progress.
1t reminds us of the swapping, snarl-
ing little whiffit that lodges out OF
the back gate, or some dark alley
and vents its spleen ON the passer-by.
The CHRONICLE will not accept
the proposition made by the Progress
that each one shall. publish the list of
subscribers Of their paper. We don't
propose to give our business away in
that way, besides we have not the
space to give to an enterprise Of that
kind. Our subscription books are
now, and have always been, open to
the inspection of our patrons. The
Progress says:
We regret that our kindly dis
D.. 'sed contemporary in its gen.
crosby 50 far forgets business prin-
cinlIos as to make its advertising
1 maze pratia. The Progress has no
q space tol4 Oh those terms, and does
not seek to 'fiii its advertising col
umns by such reckless enterprise.
There may be some excuse in the
! fact TINT the CHRONICLE is forced to
contract Oh the free term policy in
Ntp,der to induce patronage at all, but
- - s,nkynrt h ~ tsItit1d hIrCis
ness and it would be far better to fill
up on patent medicine cuts at more
than twenty-five per cent. below
regular rates and catch such Of this
kind of matter as the Progress re-
fuses and did refuse but which the
CHRONICLE accepted yesterday, than
to turn the newspaper into public
billboard or plank fence free to all.
Bah, you make us tired. Every
line Of advertising that the CHRoNI-
Gle has in its columns is paid for,
and at regular rates nor have we
inflicted on our readers three columns
and haif and sometimes more add
vertising for ourselves, just to fill up
anu IiIuhc UuI COluulii0 lOOfN no ii We
were doing big advertising business.
On the other hand we know Of
number Of ads. the Progress are now
running in its columns, that are
entirely unauthorized They put
them in for the impression that it
would make on other advertisers and
thus induce them to take space. But
then the Progress is strictly virtuous,
they don't mean anything by what
they charge on the CHRONICLE.
They are simply getting rid of a lit
tie extra load Of bilousncss, that was
contracted at the time we got that
patent medicine adj. they speak of and
which We were paid well for printing.
The Progress has charged us with the
very crime they are guilty of them
selves, and have laid themselves
open to the eyes of the public in a
manner that will make them appear
sooner or later in their true light.

 Resolved: That we heartily endorse the nominee of this convention and pledge our selves to work increasingly from now until the 9th day of November for his election. We chcerfully recognize the spirit of unanimity which prevails within the Democratic party at the present time and which prevailed at the National convention at St Louis, which placed in nomination for President that hon. est and steadfast leader ot our party, Grover Cleveland and for vice president the noblest Roman of them all. Allan G. Thurman. We believe that the unanimous nomination oi Edward w. Seymour as candidate for Con. gross in the fourth Congressional district means his triumphant election and we pledge to him the united support of this Senatorial district. We endorse the platform and candi dates of our State and look forward to their endorsement by majority of the voters oi A

The Derby Extension Rallied.

Invitations have been issued for the of ticial opening of the Derby extension, Wednesday, l7th, when the special train, filled with officers of the road and news paper men, will proceed from New Ha- ven to the point where the silver spike will be driven by Col w. II. Stevenson. After appropriate ceremonies, the train will proceed over the main line, return ing to Bridgeport in the evening.
 A BEE reporter found about 150 men at work on the Botsford end of the road, Wednesday, shoveling gravel and bal lasting the road bed. Several weeks will elapse before this will be finished, but the worst places are ballasted first and, even where the rails are not perfectly aligned, the car runs with little unpleas- ant motion. Superintendent Hopson's flag was still flying at the junction of the rails on the Housatonic and Derby sect ions and tie was inscribed IN. Fl. & D., October 1, 1888, 3 sop m." Onarock near by and on a board midway up the flag staff, the word ''Honest'' stood out boldly. The rails from the Botsforde end of the line were laid to this point, Satur- day. At the great Zoar Bridge trestle the highway has been changed and now runs under the trestle. The old crossing will doubtless be closed This trestle, G50 feet long and 65 feet high, has been crossed by several ladies, one of whom, Miss Hattie Bradley, walked over on the string piece before the ties were laid
 Another accident occurred at the tres tie near sherman Botsford's old mill, Monday. At the sharp curve near by, the engine of the construction train left the track and turned over, breaking the connections between the engine and ten der and injuring the former. It was placed upon the track and another loco motive substituted.

for him as second selectman in Mir HullS
 place. Mir Hurd refuses to give up the
 books and claims the office, because most
 of the other candidates on his ticket were
 elected, carrying him in with them. The votes were counted by MT F. w. Wheel
 CT, Democrat, who has had much eXperi-
 ence in election matters and Ebert o.
 Hull, Republican. Mir Wheeler signed
 the report of the count and so did Mr
 Hull, but afterward, without MT Wheel
 er's knowledge, MT Hull added protest to his name. Edward G. Beardsley, Re- publican moderator of the meeting, de- clared Burr Hawley first selectman with l a protest. 1t looks now as if neither side
 would give up what they believe their I legal rights without a struggle. The vote on the rest of the ticket follows, Democrats elected marked with *:
