LUCRE RUNNING TO WASTE.
Money for Capitalists in Small Tenement
Houses-A Case of Blindness.

There was good inquiry at the real estate
offices yesterday for the usual descriptions of
property, unimproved lots and small houses,
and several deals were brought to a conclusion.
One agent remarked: ~There has been no
general advance in rents, but if the demand
keeps up until moving time there probably will
be, especially for four or fve-roomed tene-
ments. If had 200 such houses could secure
tenants for all of them in week. There is
more money in such houses for capitalists than
in gold mine. am surprised they can't
see It." -

Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
1t is too early in the week to furnish pointers
on produce trade. Commission men report few
orders, and mercury too close to zero for ship
ments. The drop of the mercury has given a
frmer tone to eggs. In the past week Southern
eggs have been coming in in carloads, but do
not bring as good prices as the nearby stock.
Southern hen fruit at this season corresponds
to the Northern, which is produced in summer,
and is not as fresh and rich as our home
product in springtime. The demand for choice
apples improves as the season advances. Pota-
toes, cabbage and onions are as slow and low as
ever.

AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY.
Some Of the Implements Most Needed I'm
Uruguay.


Uruguay.
The employment of agricultural machinery
is extending rapidly in Uruguay, says the North
British Natl, the sources from which supplies
are drawn being for the most part Great
Britain and the United States. Recently also.
as was to be expected, Germany has been doing
her best to create demand there for articles
Of German origin. The machinery in most re-
quest at present consists of threshing machines
with engines of from eight to ten horse-p power
and of which there are, it is believed, at pres
ent about 400 in use, not to mention less power
ful machines. Reaping and moving machines,
sheaf-binding machines, and American plows
are in favor in Uruguay, and there is great
demand for portable engines of from six to ten
horsepower to work them. France some time
ago forwarded some threshing machines to the
country, but her efforts met with but little sue
cess.
A1uniform duty of per cent is charged on
all machines imported into the place. The de.
mand might be greatly developed by sending
out competent mechanics, not merely to set mn
and repair machinery, but also to explain its
uses and manner of working TO the inhabitants.
In Colombia ready market might be found
for plows and other implements for rice-grow
ing purposes offered at reasonable prices The
methods of preparation of the soil at present in
vogue there are of the most primitive kind
There is also a need of better machinery To
clean and prepare coffee.

LONDON, February 2a-The Mark Lane En-
press, in its weekly review of the British grain
trade, says: Last week in London the average
price of English wheat fell to 3ls owing to the
fact that the greater portion of the wheat
rendered by farmers was of poor quality. The
deliveries do not improve. The sales of En-
glish wheat for the week were 49, ,762 quarters
at 29s 5dagainst S. 303 quarters at 3Os "a for the
corresponding week last year. Foreign wheat
was frmer, with q slight increase of business.

rally to 9lE-the opening quotation-where it

Reduction In Wages.
READING, February 25.-The announced
reductions in wages of employees of the
Reading Iron Works, this city, and the
Brooke Iron Company, at Birdsboro, went
into effect to-day. Similar reductions, to
take effect at a later date, have been an
nounced in a number of other iron mills
throughout the Schuylklll valley, and il
has been intimated that the men would re-
fuse to accept the reductions. The en-
ployes of the two firms mentioned, how
ever, after holding meetings, went to work
this morning at the reduced rates, and it is
now believed that the reductions announced
at other places will be accepted without
further opposition.
One thousand men are affected by the
reduction at the Reading works and about
200 at the Brooke works.
