A train on the Cotton Belt rallrC

\ train on the Cotton Belt railroad was robbed two miles west of TeXar- kama one night last week. The rob- bers. six in number, set the switch of short wood-spur track, and the train, running at full speed, left the main track and ran out on the spur track and struck flat car loaded with wood. The engineer and fire man were both hurt, and tramp riding on the platform of the bag gage car was killed. Before the train men could recover from the shock, the robbers boarded the train with pistols and guns and robbed the express car. After completing the robbery, they marched the train men off few yards and seated them on a log with the injunction that they keep their eyes closed one hour. As they were departing they fired back at the train men, wounding the eX- press messenger in two places.

Free Sugar or Bounty.-

VIII Congress touch the sugar question (!
Now that Congress is assembled grocers
will watch with great interest all legisla-
ton which is likely to have a noticeable
effect upon the trade of this country
Thousands are wondering what is to be
done. An opinion is gaining great currency
that the abrogation of the sugar duties is
the simplest, safest AMI only practicable
way Of scaling down the surplus. The
difficulty has still to be encountered The
treasury statement shows that the revenue
exceeded the expenditures during the last
fiscal year by SS2,0O0,000. This state of
things cannot, of course, COON. The mass
OF the people agree that unnecessary taxa
ton is Robbery.
Louisiana planters regard the situation
with great alarm, and doubtless with very
good reason, as II would be death blow
to sugar production in Louisiana, unless
the government should see lit to foster the
industry and pay liberal bounty to produc-
ers, as has been done in the old country
Free sugar will ring the death knell of the
sugar trust. 1t seems to be about the only
effective way that Congress can success
fully cope with that great monopoly: still,
at the same time, it would destroy all pres
emit prospects of developing the beet-sugar
industry in ATTITUDES of this country which
are admirably adapted to the growth of the
beet root We have better soil here for
raising beets than can be found in any
country in Europe. 1t is possible in the
near future to produce sufficient supply
OF this product wherewith to meet the
home demand. The question before Con
gress will be, whether it would be the best
to abrogate the sugar duty, and thus en-
courage home production, or hold on TO the
duty which the government is no in need
of for revenue, and which exceeds expen
situres by So2,0)0,0J0 per annum.-Grocers'

OF cotton mills dividends for 1889 indicates
that they are larger than in any previous
year of specie prices. The leather trade
has become hopeful, and consumption of
booUs and shoes is prodigious, but over pro-
duction pushes prices too low for healthy
profits. The iron trade pauses at this sea

scanty as yet, there is general confidence
that the demand will prove equal even to

THE ORE AND BULLION OUTPUT
A Quiet Week In Mining Circles-A Very
Satisfactory January Trade
General Business Notes.

The week past has not been remark
able one in business sense. There has
been the usual steady trade, and as will
have been noticed from interviews with
our leading business men, published in
these columns at the opening of the week,
there is the most unbounded confidence in
the future. 1t is considerable for our mer-
chants to be able to say, as many of them
do, that they have not had dull day so far
this month, when January and February
are always looked upon as the dullest
months in the year, and particularly is this
the case with January, which usually
shows the relapse following the big holiday
excitement. The statement that business
is good" in the early part of January may
be taken as an assurance that the coming
months are full of profit to the merchant
and business man-in other words, the
month of January may always be counted
upon as the barometer which foretells the
volume of business to be expected during
the balance of the year; and after all, the
situation in which we find ourselves is not
at all a surprising one. The year just
closed was a most prosperous one; the la
boring classes have all been able to find
work; building, railroad work, ETC., have
been of such magnitude as to call for more
hands than could be obtained.
The present unusually wintry weather
has thrown some men out of employment,
but this will be for a short time only, when
building will again commence, and with
renewed energy.
The real estate sales continue to show up
well
The produce market is very lively, deal
ers reporting the demand, in many cases,
far in excess of the supply.

Lead and Silver.

In New York, lead has been dull and
neglected, neither buyers nor sellers show
ing disposition to do anything.
In st. Louis, dullness has characterized
the lead market, and transactions were few
and far between. In the opinion of some,
the opening of the new year has nothing
in store for the metal, and the general idea
is that some time will elapse before it is
safe to look for healthy advance
In Chicago, lead is steady, in that mar
ket trade for the year has been slightly in
excess of 1888, and values have been very
satisfactory to all concerned. The average
price of pig lead for the year was So 67155,
and is lower than since 1884 Stocks at
this center are about the same as at the
opening of 1889, and although the opportun-
ity was offered to sell some at and around
1895, no trades were consummated.
Lead opened in Salt Lake at So SIS on
Monday last, and closed at the same figure
last evening.
Silver has advanced l cent during the
week, being quoted last evening at $50.

Cattle and Beef Expectations.

There has been considerable talk of en-
largement of cattle expectations, which
have last year largely exceeded any pre-
vious year, even with the economies intro
duced in the dressed beef trade For
eleven months of the past year, about three
hundred thousand head Of cattleshave been
exported, which is more than 50per cent
in excess of any previous entire years ex-
ports. 1t is evident that Great Britain and
some of the continental countries are in
position to need charging supplies of
American cattle and beef, or both. It
would seem, however, that the drawbacks
incident to the movement of animals such
long distances would be hinderances to
great development of this trade. One par
ticuiar obstacle now in the way is in the
quarantine regulations in force by the
foreign countries
For the year ending June 80. 1889. ex-
ports of cattle and beef products, and the
average annual exports for period of ten
years, are indicated in the following:

The following has been received from the
department of agriculture:
A short time ago the attention of the de-
partment of agriculture was called to re-
cent shipment of American cattle sold in
Rhenish provinces. Through the depart
ment of state, the department of agricul-
ture was placed in possession of communi-
cation from the United States consul at
Cologne, in which this gentleman reported
the sale OF some thirty head of American
cattle in that market, in reference to which
he made the following statement:
1.-The quality of these oxen was good, but
too fat, which, however, can be remedied.
The price obtained per hundred pounds of
the dressed meats, that's, exclusive of the
ne ad, hide, feet, and entrails, which fall to
the butcher, was marks 20 (S16 SO) being
the same price paid for the home stock.
Therefore, American cattle can compete
with the home production
''There is a difference among oxen fat
tened in stables. The latter are preferred
here, especially the fed and specked (pro
badly red and white ones which might
command higher price, say marks y per
hundred pounds. Both kinds are readily
marketed here. There being rather a
scarcity of cattle here this year and a con
sequent rise in the price of beef meat. it is
thought that a considerable number of
American cattle can be sold here, and am
Informed that another large shipment is on
It's way from America to the German mar
ket.;'

growth in this direction has been marvel
Gus; but better than the new FORCES, fac
tories and mines is the report of increased
production Of beef and breadstuffs. The
south now has the capacity to feed itself
without drawing on it's income from cotton
The value of the south's agricultural pro-
ducts for 1888 was 100000, 600, against
SSH, 100000 in 1879, while 1890 will proba-
bly, show $500, 100000 to $3.50, 900, 900. The
value OF the south's live stock is now
1915, 000, 900, while in 1897 it was 1891, 400 600
The production of grain rose from 43l ,O74,-
630 bushels in 1880, to 632 ,665, 600 bushels in
1888, and last year will probably show over
6S0,000000 bushels, an increase of nearly
$50. 000, 900 bushels.
