LEO MAY LIVE LONG YET.
The Rector of the American College, Rome,
on the Pope's Health.

NEW YORK, October 17.-Mgr. O'Con-
nell, rector of the American College at
Rome and favorite at the Vatican, is in
this city, and talks quite instructively.
There has been much said about Pope Leo
and his relations with the italian Govern
ment, but it is claimed that Mgr. O'Connell
IS better informed on matters appertaining
to the Vatican than any other member of
the Catholic clergy now in America.
1.-THE Pope" said he, sis not going to die
this year nor next, nor still the next, and,
the Lord permitting, he may live dozen
more years, so far as his health may now
indicate. He is still hearty and strong, and
works just as hard as ever-about l6 hours
a DAY. He takes the greatest interest
in American affairs and the coming
Catholic celebrations in America.
Of the dedication of the great uni.
versity at Washington he talks constantly,
and considers it will be one of the greatest
institutions of learning in the world. I
have come to America to represent the Pope
at the big Catholic meeting soon to take
place at Baltimore and also at the dedicatory
services of the university. Before my leaving
Rome His Holiness sent his blessing to the
members OF the Catholic clergy in Amer
ica.'
"What is the condition of affairs in
Italy?"
''The Pope deplores his present position
very much. There is no doubt but what the
present trouble will soon actuate His Holi-
ness in taking some decisive step."
"Will he leave Rome, and, in that case,
where will he go?"
"While regretting the indignities that
have been hesped upon the Vatican, the
Pope dislikes the idea of leaving the city
of his predecessors and the seat of the
Catholic Church for so great period Of
years. But if insults continue. there will
be but one thing to do, and that will
be to leave. There are many rumors
afoat in Europe as to where the Pope
would 60. but no one will know outside the
Vatican until the move is made. 1 see an
American politician has advised that the
English Government relinquish Ireland to
His Holiness. have nothing to say about
the proposition, though"

PROFITABLE CULTIVATION OF TEA.
Good Reasons Why Ceylon Took II Up
When Coffee Failed.

When Coffee Failed.
II. c. Green in New York star.l
I met yesterday, at the Metropolitan
Hotel, A. Melville White, an English gen.
tleman, who is a large tea planter In
Ceylon, and is now en- route to England.
He came by way of San Francisco, and is
taking comprehensive view of the States
on his way home. He tells me that dis
ease having destroyed the coffee trees in
Ceylon about five years ago, the planters
substituted, with success, the cultivation of
tea.
"About three years" he continued, care
required to bring the plant up to good
lea. bearing standard. The first year they
are allowed to grow up about seven feet
high, when they are cut down to height of
three feet and kept as low as that ever after
ward. The leaves are picked every ten
days all the year round, the whole planta-
tion being gone over by the laborers, who
are imported coolies. The natives OF Cey-
lon are hopelessly lazy, and won't work at
it. About one laborer to an acre is re-
quired.
"The planters live in the hills in comfort
able bungalows, about 16 miles from Colon
bo, city of 900 native population. A
climate of perennial spring and summer in
sures an ideal oriental temperature. There
are few hundred English planters and
garrison of English troops on the island, aud
small but charming circle of society. Mr..
White has been IA years out there, and ex-
presses himself delighted with the country.
The Ceylon tea is fine in quality and de-
licious in taste, and not unlike the best
quality of English breakfast tea. The cul-
tivation of tea has become the great industry
in Ceylon, and the tea is becoming rapidly
known and used in England"

DOMESTIC MARKETS.

OFFICE OF PIrrsBURG DISPATCH, I
THURSDAY. October II, 1889. !

Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
The stock of potatoes IN the hands of COM
mission men is lighter than for week or two
past. Good potatoes are firm and will soon go
higher. The late depression has been largely
due to the fact that an unusual quantity Of
poor stock has been dumped on to our markets.
Choice potatoes will readily bring the outside
quotations. The same objection stands against
apples as potatoes. A large proportion of the
offerings is low grade. Throughout Pittsburgs
bailiwick the quantity of apples is below aver
age and quality is generally inferior. Last
season the yield was extra, and the rule is fol-
lowed this season that the famine follows the
feast. Grapes are in bountiful supply and fair
demand. Dairy products are active and un-
changed. Poultry and eggs are scarce and
firm. Tropical fruits are in good demand and
the drift is toward higher prices.

BUSINESS GETTING BETTER.
A Good Movement in Local Stocks, With
Few Weak Spots.


There was fair amount of sales at the Stock
Exchange yesterday, but the dealings were
confined to two properties-Philadelphi Gas
and Pleasant Valley Railway. The sales were
7lO shares. In the bond list the movement was
limited to Citizens Traction IS, which brought
lO9 Pleasant Valley Railway shares were in
good request and stronger, showing that in
vestors have confidence that the pending deals
for consolidation will result in benefit to the
road.
Philadelphia Gas opened with good support,
at 80, but later in the day it weakened on free
