100000 to be distributed among the

stockholders.
From the time OF its organization 10
yesterday morning. the exposition mas
paid out SO, SIS. $40 OF. or. three times the
amount the managers expected TO spend
when they commenced work on the fair.
The gate receipts during the exposition
period proper were little over u0.OVo.0o:
Yesterday s3.30o.OOo had been collected
from concessionaries by Mr.. Blackmers
department, and nearly 10000 had been
obtained from that source before he took
hold. The retnrns from concessionaries
were one OF the big surprises OF the fair.
Nobody was reckless enough TO predict
that that sum would be realized. The
Paris exposition got but $4,000 from that
source while the Centennial managers
being better traders than the Frenchmen,
got 81, 10000.

Southern Vegetables In Good supply.
BosToN, May 1.-THE history of this
weeks market is.an uncertain butter trade,
good vegetable trade, duh poultry mar
ket and an inactive fruit trade with the
exception of the berry business.
Strawerries are in good supply and at a
reasonable cost some exceptionally good
lots have come in aud the majority are in
ve.y good shape. Some of the best are
from Norfolk and are worth y cents IA
box. while a good berry from he Carolnas
brings Ii Ia : cents box.
In the apple trade there IS little else than
BaldWins 0H the market. These are
worth about y "A barrel Good spys bring
e..
New Potatoes.
The novelty in the vegetable trade is the
new potatoes These are from Bermuda
and closely follow the early onion, which
comes from the same island.
As yet no large lots have come to Boston
direct, the arrivals being mainly at New
York, over the regular line of steamers
plying between the island and that port.
Vegetables.
The general supply of southern vegeta-
bles in the markets has been good The
nearby farmers complain that our season
has been backward. The greenhouse
owners have not pulled out of the winter :
work as well as they might.
Many days of cloudy weather have had
bad effect on the stock under glass and
as result maturity has been several
weeks behind. In the meantime the south
ern grower has come into the field and the
high costing greenhouse grown product
has found less favor than it would had 1t
been two weeks earlier.
Some quotations are: Beets, Sl.50 box;
fiat turnips, 30 cents bushel; rutabagas,
II - "a barrel; parsuipa, 81 bushel, dan
delions, 40 cents bushel; kale, Sl25 a
barrel; spinach, native, 60 to 10 cents a
box; onions, natives, 81 n barrel.
OF the finer vegetables, No. l cucumbers
bring 10 cents apiece for the best; water
cress, 80 cents "A dozen punches; salsify
81 dozen lunches; good celery 81 IA
dozen lunches; asparagus, 50 dozen
punches; and the Bermuda onion brings
81 80 by the crate
The best native potatoes are worth -

although small, are selling at from ~ to IS
"a barrel.
Poultry.
Some quotations in the poultry market
are: Good northern turkeys, IL cents west
ern, Il to Is cents; New England geese, IA
to 10 cents; ducks, 10 cents; broilers, 80 to
80 cents pound; fall chicken, 70 cents;
and fowl, Ii to l5c.
Butter.
In the butter trade receipts are light
with decreased trade. The lowest price
for any butter is about "a cents a pound
Some very nice butter from the Pacific
slope has arrived and is quickly taken at
prices ranging from "a to rs cents The
situation at present is but a repetition of
the weeks previous. Dealers are not buy
ing freely awaiting positive change and
but a very small amount is in trade.

The Horse Knew What Was Needed.

A remarkable exhibition Of instinct was
exhibited by a horse at Oil City one
day last week. Sunday night the horse
was brought into the stable lame. and
the stablemen thought it was from a
sprain. They were rubbing the leg with
Eminent Monday morning, when the
horse broke away from them and ran in
to blacksmith's shop in the neighbor-
hood. Here he wheeled up to the horse
sheer and lifted up his lame leg. The man
examined the leg and foot and found that
an improperly driven nail had penetrated
into the quick of the foot. The shoe was
reset, and the horse returned to the barn.

The platform at the east end Of the capitol
where the Inauguration ceremony was per-
formed was covered with snow that was blown
hither and thither into disagreeabe drifts by
wind that sent chills into the crowds. But no
one would remain away for that. And so the
great crowd which began to gather early staid
through to the end-a mass of chilled and shiv-
ering but determined and undaunted human
ity.
The wait for the dignitares to arrive and the
ceremonies to begin was long and tedious. The
inelemency of the weather delayed the pro
ceedings of the day to a great extent and
caused the entire omission of small parts of
the programme. But finally the patience
of the crowd was rewarded Not long
after noon the murmur of expectation
that passed through the crowd increased as
the party approached the capitol The murmur
increased as the first men of the land drew
nearer, and grew and swelled at last into
mighty uprcar as they stopped before the plat
form. With heroism characteristics of the
man, Mr.. Cleveland had determined 10 be in
augurated in the open air.

humiliated. The only acts in which II
is possible co feel satisfaction are the
measures of tariff reform passed at
the first session of the house. These
failed in the senate, it is true, but the
house is not responsible for that, and
it is entitled to credit for its own
work.
After having made due allowance
for the tariff bills, we recall nothing
done by the Crisp congress that might
not have been done by house with
republican majority. Certainly there
is nothing democratic in such me as
ures as the bill putting the grain and
provision trade of the country under
the control of the internal revenue
bureau Mckinley might easily have
drawn that bill and Reed might have
consistently forced it through. 1t is
type Of the work of the house as Mr.
Crisp has organized and controlled it.
The real democrats of the house have
been so turned down" that they are
practically helpless against Mr.. Crisp's
committee machinery.
The appeal to the people which elect
ed this house and resulted in the choice
of Mr.. Crisp as speaker was made
largely on the score of economy in APP
preparations, yet the Crisp congress has
actually made appropriations that,
when the total is footed up, are ex-
pected to exceed the extravaganza Of
the billion-dollar congress.
1t has been said that these enormous
totals are due to the necessity of maxi
ing the appropriation for pensions
called for by the administration, but
the Crisp congress is barred from maxi
ing such plea of confession and
avoidance by the fact that it has itself
passed pension bill very materially
increasing the expense of pensions and
in principle fully as bad as any pension
bill passed by the Reed congress.-St
Louis Republic (Dem.l
