Trade has been good on this market to-
day, but as purchases are confined al
most exclusively to city buyers the alb
senee of country people is felt. As
showing how near total is that absence,
it may be related that the receipts of
grain, feedstufs, cotton and country
produce generally has dwindled down to
snch small point as to cut no figure in
the quotations for such articles, and this
notwithstanding it is well known the
country is full of such merchandise. The
continuance of existing weather and the
opening up of the roads viii without
doubt crowd the streets with country
people who have so long been denied the
privilege Of making purchases.
Money is in slightly better demand at
all the leading financial centerS, but in
terest rates do not harden materially
The supply of loanable funds continues
above the requirements of borrowers.
This country produced more pig iron in
1883 than ever i'll its history the total
being ,269 ,62S net tons, as against >
2j9, 500 tons in 1885 and 81 ,422 tons more

Although wild speculation in real es-

THE JAPANESE FETE.
A Large Attendance and ~ Brilliant
Affair.

Affair.
The japanese fete at the Queen
Emma Hall last evening was de-
cided success in every respect. The
object was to raise funds for the
Japanese Mutual Aid Association.
The grounds presented very pretty
appearance, illuminated as they
were by large colored lanterns. In
various parts were immense Jspa-
nese umbrellas, around which were
suspended lanterns. The Hawaiian
band was stationed in front of the
hall and played some fine selections
during the evening, one from the
opera Plnafore being particularly
enjoyable. On the veranda up
stairs near the front entrance MIR.
and Mrs. Taro Ando extended a
greeting to those in attendance. The
large room to the left Of the hall
way was very prettily decorated,
and here and in the room adjoining
were on sale, Japanese articles of
every description, and bouquets
OF flowers. On the opposite
side of the hallway the front
room was arranged as Japa
nese tea garden anG attracted much
attention. Next TO this was an
exhibition Of statuary where a great
many people got sold all for ten
cents. On the back veranda we're
the lemonade and candy stands.
The rooms downstairs were devoted
to the sale of ice cream and cake,
and thriving business was done.
Most of the ladies and gentlemen
connected with the Consulate were
in japanese costume. The attend
ance was exceedingly large, the
rooms being crowded all the even
ing. Among those present were MEM
bers of the diplomatic and consular
corps, and Privy Council, officers
of the men-of-war, and prominent
residents and their families. The
fete was Il brilliant success in every
respect, and credit to those who
got it up.
The proceeds will be about $500.
Much of the success is due TO the
ladies, who so kindly assisted Mrs.
Ando in dispOsing of the articles
offered. At the tables in the main
room Mrs. Mist with Miss Mist and
Miss Wodehouse, Mrs. Scott with
Miss Coney, Mrs, Hyde and Mrs,
f, W. Damon with Miss Severance
presided, and the articles sold
brought s245.55. The young ladies
were dressed in japanese costume.
The lea garden, which was under
the charge of Miss Finckler and
Miss Davis, in itch japanese attire,
assisted by Mrs. Ban and Mrs. Kat

third street Saturday night and pro-
ceeded in a very deliberate manner to
spread themselves on the two double
cross-seats. The theaters were Just
out and the car filled rapidly. At
Eighth street gentleman and lady
entered the car and looked vainly for
vacant seats. The gentleman finally
stopped before the cross-seats and
made sign that he would like to sit
there. The ''chappies' did not take the
hint. The gentleman then touched
one of them on the shoulder and asked
him to remove his feet from the seat.
The fellow stared impudently for a
moment and then, turning to his COM
panIon, said: shall we let them sit
DOWN. There was no time for an
answer. for big blackthorn stick in
the gentleman's hand instantly de-
scended heavily on the shins of the
dudes. They sprung to their feet. NUT
