RIVER INTELLIGENCE.
Plenty of Business Being Transacted ON the
Levee Yesterday.

Plenty OF Business Being Transa cted on the
Levee Yesterday.
Business was very lively on the levee yester.
day afternoon. No boats arrived until o'clock.
A quantity OF freight was piled on the wharf
awaiting them. The first boat to arrive was
from Parkersburg. She was loaded to her
guards with freight, mostly live stock, and ar
rived ten hours behind her schedule time. The
Cincinnati packet did not arrive until after
dark. Considerable time was spent in unload
ing her on account OF the wharf boat not being
in position.
Several river men doubted the practicability
of Captain L. N. Clarke's idea to run stern
wheel boat on Lake Michigan during
the Worlds Fair. and gave as a reason
that the waters were too choppy to run the
boat with safety Captain Clarke, states, how
ever. that he is willing to risk It at any rate as
1t has been proven that sternwheel boats can
run in other places than rivers and cited as an
instance the successful operation of stern
wheel boat in the harbor about New York
He is figuring upon 4 boat about 160 feet long
and 80 wide which is larger than any of the
Pittsburg towboats.
The rivers had a perceptible decline yester.
day and almost dropped foot during the "a
hours. At P. N. the marks showed 3l0 fall
ing, fall of s inches.

STILL IN THE DUMPS,
Oil Slow and Entirely Featureless-Talk
About the Exchanre

aDOut tue EXcnange.
There was no change in the general condi-
tions of the oil market yesterday from those
prevailing for several weeks. Trading was
light and fluctuations as narrow as possible to
be any at all. The opening, highest and clos
ing price was SO. and the lowest 79A. Clearings
were 9s, ,000 barrels. AS usual, Buckeye was no.
where.
Concerning the sale of the Exchange build.
ing broker said: 'Tthink the me citing October
4 will agree almost unanimously to let the
property go. but l do not think it will be sold
for year at least. Property on Fourth avenue
is steadily advancing Delay is, therefore, in
our favor. We have an offer of $3.50, 900, but
think we can do considerably better within
year. We ought to get at least $l759OO.
u have been hoping that business would i'm
prove and the sale be avoided, but the situation
grows worse instead of better and we must
make a change of some kind. By selling our
property, renting cheap quarters and taking in
fresh blood and energy we may revive spec1la-
tion and be able to make living. If not, we
will have to try something else."

How to Make Farming Pay.


The rule to make farming pay is
simple as the "rule of three.' 1t is
simply to produce as much to the
thousand as will leave a margin of
profit over expenses, Two barrels
to the thousand corn hills formerly
left the farmer a margin of profit.
But two barrels to the thousand
corn hills will not do so now, with
the large expenses and low price of
corn. What is to be done2 Simply
this and nothing more. Let the
same expense of labor be expended
to produce four barrels to the thou ,
sand corn hills and YOU Will have a
margin of p~otit. 1t is easier to
~n.g your land from two barrels 10
the thousand to four barrels than
to raise it from a barrel TO the thou
sand to two barrels. The rule Is
simply to pur the manure thicker.
If YOu have no, enough manure to
put thicker reduce the number of
thousands you put it on. That's
all of it.

IRON BECOMING KING.

The industrial growth Of the South
in the past ten years has been with
out precedent or parallel. 1t has
been a great revelation, effected in
peace. How. from poverty, such
progress has been wrought can be
told only in figures, Words can not
compass it. Let US then to figure s.!
We start with Iron, which is the base
of all industrial progress. In 1880
the South made $4,000 tons of iron.
In 1887 she made $4,000 tons
thus quadrupling her output ih seven
wears. But this is small compared
20 the future. The South is now
building, or has already finished
since 1887, 80 iron furnaces with a
capaclt, OF 3,4G0 tons per day, or
over 100000 tons year. In 1890
her output will be about 100000
tons, although it was but $4,000
tons in 1880. In 1889 the Blrming
ham district alone will produce more
iron than the entire South produced
in 1887. This growth is not remark
able when we consider that iron can
be made in the South from 81 to S3
a ton cheaper than in the North.
Mr.. r. P. Rothwell, editor Of the
Mining and Engineering Journal of
New York. saw pig iron made in the
South at an actual cost of $3.50 a
ton. to which he added, for renewals
and incidentals," 81, making the
>ost $3.50 ton. An English expert
of the highest character says:
1.-The South will not only control the
iron market of the North, but of Eng
land"
Mr.. Abram S. Hewitt. who has
just invested largely in Southern
furnaces, said, referring to Alabama.
"This will be region of coke-made
iron on grander scale than has ever
been witnessed on the habitable globe =
Mr.. Lowthian Bell, of England
after investigating for a year, re
ported to the Iron and Steel Institute
of England:
"Tennessee. Georgia and Ala5ams
will prove match for any part .
the world in .ron-making. Iron car
oe made there at little more thar
half the cost Of the North /"

BY HON. HENRY w. GRADY.
New YORK Ledger.

New York Ledger
A few years ago | told, in g
speech Of a burial in Pickens coun>
ty, Georgia. The grave was dug
through solid marble, but the mars
bic headstone came from Vermont.
1t was IN pine wilderness, but the
pine coffin came from Cincinnati.
An iron mountain overshadowed it,
but the coffin nails and screws and
the shoyels came from Pittsburg
With hard woods and metals abound-
ing, the CORPSE was hauled on q
wagon from South Bend, Indiana. A
hickory grove grew near by but the
pick and shovel handles came from
New York. The cotton shirt on tie
dead man came from Cincinnati, the
coat and breeches from Chicago. the
shoes from Boston the folded hands
were encased in white gloves from
New York, and round the neck,
that had worn all its living days the
bondage of lost opportunity. was
twisted a che9p cravat from Phila-
delphia. That country, so rich in
uudeveloped resources, furnished
nothing for the funeral except the
corpse and the hole in the ground,
and would probably have imported
both of those if it could have done
so. And as the poor fellow was
lowered to his rest, On Coffin bands
from Lowell he carried nothing into
the next world as a reminder of his
home in this, save the halted blood
In his veins, the chilled marrow in
bis ZONES, and the echo of the dull
cIods that fell on his coffin lid.
There are DOW more than S3,000,-
0O0 invested in marble quarrles and
machinery around that grave. Its
pitlful loneliness is broken with the
rumble OF ponderous machines, and
a strange tumult peryades the Wild
erness. Twenty miles away the
largest marble-cutting works in the
world puts to shame in a thousand
shapes Its modest headstone. Forty
miles away four coffin factories, with
their exquisite wcck, tempt the world
to die. The iron hills ere gashed
AMI swarm with workmen. Forty
cotton mills in near radius weave
infnite cloth, that neighboriug shops
make into countless shirts. There
are shoe factories, nail factories,
