COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY.

HUGE plates of glass are now cut by cleo tricity.
 THERE are 900 kangaroo skins received in Newark, N. J., every week.
 NEARLY every vessel clearing from San Diego, Cal, nowadays carries from ten to thirteen tons of honey.
 THE increase in the value of all Southern crops this year over last will range some where between SIPS, ,0OO, 900 and s15O, ,OOO, ,OOO.
 ONE of the singular developments in the growth of Southern industries is the man. ufacture there of large quantities of stoves for the North.
 A FIRE kinder made of asbestos and used with kerosene oil is one of the latest labor saving machines which 8 Maine Yankee has put upon the market.
 OF 13, ,00O, ,0OO barrels of salt annually con- sumed in the United States Michigan fur nishes two-sixths, New York one-sixth, ten other salt-producing States one-sixth, aud two-sixths are imported.
 THE skillful cork-cutter can produce from 1,5OO to 2,OOO corks a day, his only tools be- ing two sharp broad-b -bladed knives Machines have been introduced which can turn out about 1000 corks an hour, but they are useless for the cutting of the finer quail ities.
 THE state of the gem market may be thug described: The price of emeralds and ru-
 bies is yearly increasing. Diamonds and white pearls are not getting dearer. Black pearls have been increasing steadily in price for the last four or five years; in fact it is almost impossible to supply the demand for them.
 CALIFORNIA will make S,OOO,OOO gallons less of wine this year than last. This Is be- cause so large portion of the grapes went not to juice but to raisins. The willy vine yarders found that they could squeeze more money out of dried grapes than by squeez- ing wine out of the fresh ones. THE trade in oysters with the West, says l New York dealer, Is increasing an- nually. Time was when the West was mainly supplied by the fresh-water cove | oysters of Baltimore, but the westerners have now learned that the Chesapeake oys-
 ter can not touch, in point of flavor, the juicy salt water oyster of the North. So l New York City it getting all the Baltimore
 trade. There are seven houses in the west | ern packing trade in Gotham, and each one | opens at least 15O, 900 shells daily.

 AN eccentric farmer of Marion, Mo-, who died recently, by his will bequeathed s50,- 900 to found home for ''indigent hack men," The strangest circumstance in re- lation to the will is that there are few hack men in that portion of Missouri.

THE republican papers of Connecticut are unanimous iii declaring that Sena- tors Platt and Hawley are just the men to represent the state in the senate. They don't seem to tumble, however, to the fact that they represent minority of the people. If equal political rights prevailed in Connecticut Senators Platt and Hawley, good men though they may be, would be at home attending to their private business. Connecticut is a dem ocratic state.

THE PRICE OF SUGAR.

The retail price of sugar has been ad- vanced in the past few years about three cents pound, by the sugar trust. Clans Spreckles, who is outside of the trust has gigantic scheme under way the object of which is to accumulate more wealth, and incidentally to reduce the price of sugar. Spreckles, whose refinery is to start up next week, writes: '1 do not need, and never have needed, assistance from others, and I certainly have no use for the sugar trust. The experience of the past two years has shown that these who refused to join the trust have acted wisely and fared ish enough to enter into such an illegaI combination" These are strong words, but if any one will take into account MT Spreckles' past career, and will also take into account how it is that those who refused to join the sugar trust have made their money, they will readily ad- init that MT Spreckles does not propose to carry on business upon philanthropi, :, principles. That gentleman laid the foundation of his fortune, if, indeed, he did not build up it's entire structure. by cornering the Hawaiian sugar mar ket, and for series of years compelling the people of the Pacific slope to pay as much for untaxed Hawaiian sugar as they paid for the highly taxed sugar from Cuba, South America and the pIi1iny,irn c1o r. Spreckles' past. The nor: rust refneries of to-day have, as he says, profted i'm mensely; but they have done so, not by opposing the trust, but by maintaining the prices which the trust has established and running their refneries day and night, while the trust, for the purpose of regulating the market, has been con- pelled to frequently stop work at its re- fineries. To quote an old illustration, these outsiders have had the trust hold the COW while they have milked her, the COW in this instance standing for the public. But to have made vast sums of money in this way, and at the expense of the American consumers of sugar, hardly warronts these non-trust refners, or MT Spreckles for them, in laying claim to the title of public-spirited citizens.
 If Spreckles only does half what he promises to do people will be satisfied. He proposes to begin operations in his factory in Philadelphia next week. He says he will turn out million pounds a day, and increase the output to two million pounds day by next February. Then he will double his plant, and by the end of next year he will produce 100000 pounds day. He also pro- poser to put up refinery in New Orleans that will produce 1.OOO. .OOC pounds day; and his California re- finery has capacity of 1000, ,OOO pounds. Then he will produce 5000 ,OOC (six million) pounds, against 5000, ,OOC turned out by the sugar trust. He says sugar must drop in price; and if the sugar trust declines to reduce the price, sugar will be sent here from all parts of Europe. The drop of one cent pound he says will affect the sugar trust $SO, 900 a day. It ought to come down 4 cents pound.

ABOUT The TOBACCO CROP AROUND
HENDERsoN-Mr. Thomas A. Davis, of the
firm Of Davis Bros. leaf tobacco dealers,
Henderson, has been in Richmond and was
interviewed by the tobacco editor of the
Times, on the tobacco crop. He is reported
as saying:
Mr.. Davis holds as large stock of old
brtghts as perhaps any dealer i'm the State of
North Carolina. had some chat with him
about the new crop of tobacco in the old
North State, and among other things he
said : The crop continues to get meaner
The larger portion of it has been marketed
Nash county is through selling. don't
suppose there is ten thousand pounds left
in that county. 1t is bound to be short
crop in pounds. A man told me the other
day, in speaking on this point, that he got
FIVE plants Of old tobacco and FIVE plants of
the new growth and weighed them, and
the flee plants of old tobacco weighed q
good deal 0cer double what the fire plants Of
7seec tobacco weighed. These were average
plants.
Nearly every plant last year was leafy
and of good weight, wrappers being album
dant. This year the tobacco is short and
chaffy wrappers very scarce. The crop
will be as much as 0ne-third short of an
average, if not more. Anybody can see it
by examining the plants. Several of Onr
largest buyers who generally carry large
stocks. haven't any this year to speak of.
One who generally carries at least 200, 600
pounds of stock hasn't q, 900 pounds this
year.
