A Hint for the American Producers Who
Want South American Trade.
WASHING D. G., Dec. 26-Of all
the queer demands of intercontinental COM
merce some of those just disclosed by letter
from gentleman who has travelled through
Bolivia are the oldest. For example, full
grown natives are excessively fond of small,
cheap toys. Monkeys on sticks, supple
jacks, jacks-in-boxes and especially
horses on wheels delight men and
women of mature years. Dolls
are in great demand; enormous
prices are sometimes paid for them. The
other day merchant refused $50 for doll,
the price of which he said was $50. While
the man was still in the store the merchant
let the doll fall by accident and it was
broken.
Cheap, gaudily-colored Autographs and
chromos are in great demand, especially
those representing religious subjects. If
picture contains likeness of the devil car
rying soul to hades, or lot of people in
purgatory, it sells very well.

Merchants Are Fighting.
CALLAo, PERU, Dec. 26.-All the ship
ping agents along the Peruvian coast make
common cause with the protesting agents at
Callao and merchants at Lima against the
Government decree requiring cash deposit
in place of bonds, as heretofore.
Nothing has been shipped from this
port since December 1S and the same
condition Of affairs exists at all the ports
now. Nothing has been taken from the
custom houses and no revenues are coming
to the Government from any of the ports.
1t is claimed that the banks have declined
to loan to the Government, which refuses to
abrogate the decree.
All the papers counsel moderation and
temperate discussion pending solution of
the trouble. Much bitter feeling has been
engendered and many idle efforts have been
made looking to a solution of the diticulty.

Customers Benefit by Cut in Rate Caused
by Big Profits.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 26-Two cf the
prominent electric light companies uptown
are at present at war as to which shall Sc
cure the custom of the merchants along
Frankford avenue. The Northern Electric
Light Company was the first company to
run its wires into the stores in the vicinity
of Frankford road. The merchants finding
that there was considerable profit in sup
plying the lights, decided Ito form a COM
pany and keep the profit in their own
pockets.
This led to the formation of the Frankford
Avenue Merchants Electric Light Com
pany and the building of large plant at
Susquehanna and Trenton avenues. The
prize of light was much reduced, and the
new company soon completely monopolized
the business. Recently the Northern Com
pany distributed circulars offering to reduce
still further the price of lights, but as yet
no material change has been made.

WEEKLY WEATHEH-cHoP BULLETIN.

Bulletin No. Il. A drought Of con-
siderable intensity prevails in the east
ern portion of the state. Portage and
Taylor counties also report drought, in
fact only the southwestern portion Of
the state has received the average
amount Of rainfall,
The temperature has generally been
below the normal and has retarded
corn, except in more favored localities,
to such an extent that it must row have
warm August with no early frosts in
order to properly mature. The amount
of sunshine received during the past
week was about the average.
The rainfall was Lot well distributed:
Iowa. Richland, Crawford. Vernon and
Lacrosse counties getting the larger
portion. A deficiency is reported from
nearly all other counties.
Such damage is reported by chinch
bugs, some correspondents reporting
from the southeastern part of the state
that the spring wheat will not he cut
on account of the damage. In Wal
worth county, chinch bugs and rust
have both done some damage 10 barley.
Lafayette, Columbia, Crawford and
Chippewa counties also have suffered
from the pests.
The winter wheat harvest is complete
in southern portion and just beginning
in northern portion. The crop is fair
in grade and quantity in the southern
and central portions, but diminishes
slightly in quantity as the more north
ern part of the state is reached. Oats
will be ready to cut next week in south
ern and central portions, with prospects
of light to fair crop. Hay is nearly all
housed, except in extreme north central
and northeastern portions; the crop,
while of good quality, will probably not
much exceed one half the average
yield.
Potatoes are above the average both
in quantity and quality, except in the
east central counties; which region has
been severely affected by the continued
drought. Berries are fair crop: small
fruits about an average, and other
fruits promise light yield.
The temperature of the past two days
has been abnormally low. and it will
take several days of high temperature
to fully compensate corn and other
growing grams for the loss. This fact
still further lowers the standard of corn.
