REVIEW OF TRADE.
ENORMOUS EXPORTS ENSURE ALL
THE MONEY LIABLE TO BE NEEDED.
Markets We'll Supplied Except at the
south-Good stock OF wool on Hand -
Low Price for Cotton still Prevails in
the Southern States.

NEW York, Jan. 15.-R. g. Dun g. Co. IS
weekly review Of trade says the recent
enormous exports overshadow all other fen
lures In the commercial situation. They
ensure large supplies Of money II ever
needed, but at present the markets are
everywhere we'll supplied except at south
ern points, and better supplied there than a
week ago. The wool production last year
is estimated as considerably larger than that
of the year BEFORE but the stocks on hand
are somewhat larger, indicating that the
consumption in 1891 has been about the
same as in 1890.
The market shows no important change
and just at this season none Is to be ex-
pected. Bad weather checks business at
Boston, and dry goods are quiet. Wool
sales amount to 3,oS5, 900 pounds, and boot
and shoe manufacturers are fairly busy.
The trade in leather is moderate, in hide
dull, and in lumber the movement is steady.
At Chicago, sales Of dry goods clothing
and shoes are larger than year ago Wool
receipts are only half as large as year
ago.
At Now Orleans, cotton shows some i'm
provement but the depression of business at
the South on account OF the low price of
that article stu continues.

the country during the last seven days,

CHAIRMAN BLAND TALKS.
A Free Coinage Bill to lie Reported to
the Housc at an Early Day.

the House at an Early Day.
WASHINGTON Jan. 13.-After the meet
ing to-day OF the committee on coinage
weights and measures, Chairman Bland said
to an Associated Press reporters There IS
no doubt that the sense OF the committee is
in favor of free coinage bill. The resolu-
ton which Mr. Pierce to-day introduced
was merely to test the sense OF the commit
tee upon the silver question. After some
discussion it was dc cided 20 postpone the
resolution until next Wednesday to await a
full attendance of the members of the COM
mittse.
"fhereis evidently majority of the com
mittee favorable to the resolution, but we
thought that there should be fair oppor-
tunity for full discussion. | think thu tenn
per of the com nittee is to take UP the sub
lect without delay and report a free coin
age bill to the Gouse at an carly day. There
will bs no American product about it or
any other limitation. 1t will be general
free coinage bill, and in my opinion such a
bill will pass the House"
Mr. Springer of the Same Opinion.
WAsHINGToN, Jan. IL. The action oil
the House committee on coinage to-day, in
discussing, with evident intention to adopt,
q resolution declaring in favor of bill for
the free coinage of silver, has suddenly re-
vised the movement Of prominent democrats
for joint caucus to determine the policy
to..be adopted by the party on this issue.
Chairman Springer Of the ways and mean:
committe said: IL take it for granted that
the coinage committee will report bill fol-
the free coinage OF silver. | think it prob
able that the democrats will take the mat
ter up and have JOINT caucus called upon
the subject. As democrat l will cheer
fly abide by the action of that caucus al

cleared land was covered with grass and
was the most important crop OF the State
Mr.. II. Rood--Did you ever have any ex-
pcrisncc with irrigating grass land'
Mr.. Chapin-Wator is great discover
Of fertility; think it would pay whore 1t
could be utilized, but never had much ex-
perence.
Mr.. Rooi-Thirty years ago my farm
only cut AS loads Of hay. Now irrigate
80 acres and this year drew from 10 acres
40 large loads of hay. This piece has been
watsred 80 years and been ploughed twice.
Nay does not cost me 81 per ton. Timothy
grows az feet high l would not take $4,000
for my water privilege. 1t costs very little
for the care of the ditch. Tho second crop
or rowen Is not very good. The soil is gray
loan There is a chemical process 10y
which the water aud melting snow draws
fertility from the air. Grass is ready to
cut by tho middle of June. l use ashes on
dry ground, it is the cheapest fertilizer
can buy.
Mr.. Graves-What is the value of this
hay as compared with other hay
Mr.. Rood am no chemist, but my
stock does as we'll on this as on any other
hay. 1t grows thick. l nave used ashes
by the side OF phosphate and both mixed,
and get the best results form a mixture.
Mr. Cole-Whcn 1 can get water on
never uss any manure.
Mr. Camp said he would like the expert
ence Of others in regard to ashes. 1t seems
that on one side of this view ashes are good
and not on the other
Mr.. Csssius Peck-Ashes are a very vau-
able fertilizer in Braiutrse, Brookield and
Williamstown.
Mr. H. G. Kidder--My experience with
phosphate and ashes on corn is that corn
with phosphate was much the best in the
forepart Of the season, but at harvest | had
one third more from the ashes.
Mr.. Gfaves-l had lot 80 years ago and
thought it valuable on account of the wator
privileges | irregated it four or five years
with good results. After that tho hay was
not SO good and l have quit it. The grass
seemed to run out. | would not give much
for a stream OF water; think it can be over
done.
Mr.. \. s. Allis said he wanted to express
his approval of the course the board OF agr-
culture had taken in dsposinH OF their OK
cess Of funds in advertising tho advantages
Of Vermont He said he thought it Il wise
course to pursue and that great good would
result from it, and he moved that this meet
ing by rising vote should express their
approval of the action of the board; also
| thanking them for the very Instructive
pamphlet they had issued, firmly believing
every true Vermonter could see wisdom in
the course they had taken. The motion
was unanimously carried.

A NATIVE OF GRAF SBURY.


joseph Il. Scott, Appointed superintend-
ent of the Ma,sachussets Keforma-
tory.
Boston, Jan. 14.-Gov. Russell has APP
pointed Joseph +. Scott now assistaut-sup-
erntenden. of tho reformatory at Concord,
to be superintendent of that institution, in
place of Gardinar Tufts, deceased.
Joseph +. Scott is native of Craft,bury,
VT, and Id 80 years OF age. Ills whole
adult life has be.n passed in prison service.
His first experience was at Monson, when
Col. Gardiner Tufts was superintendent OF
the State primary school at that place. Col.
Tufts saw that the young man possessed n
rare aptitude for prison management, and
when in 1854, he was appointed super
intendent OF the reformatory at Con-
cord, he invited young Scott TO take charge
of The teachers department there. He con-
hnued in this work until Capt. j. &. b.
Adams, in the fall of 1885, resigned tho
place OF assistant superintendent, and Col
Tufts appointed Mr.. Scott to the vacancy.
He held that Office up to the time of the de-
cease Of Col. Tufts. Since then he has been
in charge of the institution as acting super
intendent.
Col. Tufts reposed the most implicit faith
in Mr.. Scott's ability, integrity and capac-
ity. \ short time before the colonel's
death he told the writer that some prison
officials from distant state had visited tho
reformatory, and while there had asked him
to recommend good man for the superin-
tendency OF a prison of which they had con
trel.
1t was big institution, one OF the mpor-
tant prisons of the country, and the colonel
told them unhestatingy that Mr.. Scott
was the beat man he knew Of for tho place.
He would dislike, he said, however, to have
him leave Concord, and, as Mr.. Scott had
no desire to make change, nothing came

MISTAKE OF A LIFE.
The Most Terrible Mistake,
Possible to Make
And the Frightful Results Which
Followed.
All Should be Careful TO Avoid This
Great Danger.
The world Ia careless.


And IL il Just this carelessness which con-
stitutes the greatest element of danger.
From little things grow great things-a
small beginning often results In an awful and
disastrous en- ling.
A gentleman we'll known by us has just
passed through an experience which perfectly
demonstrates this He began TO have certain
feelings which re could not explain. He
grew langud and tired, felt weak, in fact,
after any kind of exerton. He had headache,
dizziness, and his stomach and bowels
troubled him. There was sediment in his
water After a while he had numb spells,
trembling feeling in his legs, arms and body.
Then there came prickling sensations in his
fingers and toes.
Suddenly he had shock of paralysis.
For the simple reason that he had for
months neglected, through ignorance of their
real meaning and danger, the gradual grow
ing symptoms of his awful disease
This gentlemen, VINO is no other than the
well-known William L. Cox, Esq, of Isl
Friendship st., Providence, X l., as lesson
To Others against neglecttng the symptoms
and feelings which so surely lead to paralysis,
stated TO us the facts~of his case, trusting
that others will proht by his mistake.
Every word is true.
For two years felt bad with headache
and seemed weak and tired at times. My
bowels troubled me and at times my water
was not a II should be.
81 did not take any medicine, but let myself
alone and went on with my work.
There is where i made the mistake of my
life, for this bad feeling was followed by pa
ralysis. | could not work for two years |
was entirely helpless, could not walk could
not even feed myself.
II heard OF DIR. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy and took IL for six months, and
am now cured,
What a serious mistake il was not To take
IL before the shock OF paralysis and so prevent
all danger
IL am now IS years old and feel young and
strong"
II this proves lesson to our people and re-
suits In those having these weak, tired and
exhausted feelings and bad symptoms taking
the wonderful medicine, DIR. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy, and 40 preventing
the dread results, paralysis, insanity or ner-
vous prostration, we shall feel that Mr.. Cox's
case has not been given publicity In vain.
The remedy is purely vegetable and harmless,
and is kept by druggists for 81. II is recon-
mended by doctors because IL is the discovery
and prescription of the famous physician,
DR. Greene OF 81 Temple pl, Boston, Mass.
The doctor is the most successful OF our
specialists in the cure OF all forms of nervous
and chronic diseases. and can be consulted
without charge, personally or by letter.
