Weekly Review Of II


NEW York, Dec. 2i.-R. @. Dun & 90.
in their weekly review of trade say; As
the end of the year approaches general trade
slackens, and there is perhaps not more
than the usual disposition to defer large
transactions until after stock-taking and
the holidays. 1t is satisfactory to see from
nearly all points the reports which note the
inactivity usual ut this season. also observe
a prevalent and strCng belief that the busi-
ness of the coming season will be unusually
large and profitable. Commercial credits
and confidence are In satisfactory shape for
the transaction of an enormous business
early next year. Prices OF breadstuns have
declined, wheat, nc; corn, &c, and oats
2Zc; the receipts continued large beyond
precedent; cotton receipts also exceed last
year, and the price has dropped an eighth;
coffee is an eighth stronger and pork pro-
ducts slightly stronger, but the general
level of prices has fallen remarkably dur
ing the month thus far. The business fall
ures occurring throughout the country
during the last seven days number 335,
as compared with 320 last week. For the
corresponding week OF last year the figures
were 404.

The Drums May Cali 20 Arms vet.

M. Ribot the French minister of foreign
affairs, after the breaking off of diplomatic
relations between France and Bulgaria,
growing out OF the expulsion of M. Chad
onin, the correspondent of the Agencie
Havas in Bulgaria, instructed the French
consuls in Bulgaria TO close the consulates
and to withdraw. In obedience to these
instructions the consuls at Roustchonck,
Bourgas and Phillippopolis have left the
country. 1t is scarcely believed that
France will resort to arms to enforce
her demand that the decree of ex-
pulsion be withdrawn, yet nevertheless the
Bulgarian minister of finance is going to
Vienna TO negotiate loan for the purpose
OF strengthening the army. Already troops
have been hurried to Roustchonck and
Phillippopolis. and the garrisons at those
places are now twice their usual size.

His Accounts are short.

Considerable excitement has been stirred
up in Kalamazoo by the report that w. A.
Mowrer, manager of the telephone ex-
change, formerly OF Three Rivers. had
skipped and was short in his accounts

Mowrer, who has closely applied himself
10 his duties, had been granted leave Of

this supposition. Soon after he learned
that Mowrer was away he made an inves-

cord of more than a hundred years,
and It's character for good govern
ment, the freedom and liberties Of
the people is as we'll defined as the
character of an individual,and while
the voter can make new principles
of his own and run after other modes
of government, the methods of the
Democratic party cannot be changed
TO suit their within and idiosyhcra-
cies, but must live on forever. Its
record has already been made and a
departure from the well-establisbed
paths would not shake it. To adopt
other principles and heresies one
must go to other parties. Democracy
in its purity and grandeur will live
on forever.

In Kansas the agricultural bureau
predicted that the yield of wheat
would be 100000 bushels. The

estimated the crop at 100000
bushels. 1t is now known that ther e
will be between 70,000,000 and 3d.
900, 900 bushels. And the corn crop
OF Kansas will be the greatest ever
known. The cotton crop is going
to be large. 1t would not be sur

an abundance of freight and with
good management their prosperity

A CANNING FACTORY.


1t must be apparent to the bust
ness men of this place that not only
is change in crops and in system
Of farming for this county impera-
tive, but is actually taking place.
FThe che crop system and the low
price Of cotton are by bitter expert
ence teaching the farmers salutary
lesson.
1t now remains to be seen whether
the business men of this place can
see this opportunity and at the same
time give encouragement to class
that is sorely in need of it.
A canning factory IS vast stride
in the direction.
The farmers in considerable num-
bers are beginning TO raise vegeta-
bles for market. AS long as these
vegetables are scarce or new they
find ready sale but soon the market
becomes glutted, the vegetables have
either to be almost given away or
allowed to decay.
1t is for this surplus the factory
should be established. The price
which the producers will realize will
not be fancy but sufficiently profta-
Bile to encourage the raising.
We have taken some trouble to IN
quire into the consumption of canned
goods in this section and was aston>
ished at the quantity. 1t amounts
to many thousands of dollars annu-
ally. More than dozen merchants
in this place handle these goods and
every one says the sales are large.
1t is so we'll settled that the man
ufacturing plant should be where
the raw product is that it is axiom
attic. Here is the raw product 1t
can be had in abundance. Here it
can be converted into a manufac-
tured product at as little cost as
elsewhere with freight charges paid.
Now is the time to prepare for OPP
erations next year.
