CORNER IN FIRE-CRACKERs BROKEN.
There is little danger that the patriotic
small boy will be unable 10 climb the bar
rier erected by less patriotic m0n0pOlisis.
The fact of the scarcity Of iirecrackers,
which play such an important part IN the
yOuth's celebration Of Independence Day,
aud also the loss Of the Republic, whose
large consignment of fireworks went 10 look
for the lamented Mc6inty AT the bottom of
the sea, were ample reasons for the dealers
to strive to corner the market on
the small supply on hand. Inc
arrival of the Great Admiral irom
| Hong Kong 10 Vernon, Brown x Co, was
watched with great interest by both dealer
and consumer. The announcement ihat
| her cargo consisted Of 100000 packs OF
| nre-crOckers, was the death-knell 10 the
corner. What had been offered as luxury
| was Immediately set out as desirable arti-
| cles at greatly reduced prices. Nervous
parents aud quiet residents generally DO nor
regard the arrival N the Great Admiral
with the same enthusiasm as does the pa
triotic small boy, who looks upon the ship
as "a thing of beauty and JOY forever"
| The Admiral was l0i days en- route 10 this
city. II the Reporter had arrived safely,
there would have been carnival OF nie-
cracking on the glorious Fourth OF July,
and the Insurance companies would have
fine excuse for increasing premiums.
