The exporters engaged in shipping Amer
lean cattle to Europe are much discouraged
at the present outlook Of their business
Daring the last few months the low prices
obtained 10 the European markets have re-
suited in heavy losses to the shippers, one
shipment recently made having been sold at
$40 900 less than the cost of putting it on
the marke, in London. One reason given
for the depression is the large sup
ply of Scotch and Irish home raised
cattle and another the heavy shipments
from America. A movement Is nov on foo,
TO form a combination of all the shippers
for mutual protection by regulating the
number Of cattle sent abroad, and, by thus
limiting the supply, keeping up the prices
su as. at least, to pay for the trouble and
expense of exporting. The policy hereto
fore pursued, which has been that of send
ing the meat in the same quantities week
after week, regardless Of the current prices
will have to be abandoned, as it has beer
exceedingly hard on the small shippers and
very unsatisfactory to the large ones. The
exports Of cattle for the last year have beer

been over s27 900 900.

Bangor Wing, Jan. 13. I

Our Augusta letter this morning contains
the announcement that Gov. Cleaves has
appointed Mr.. Frank A. Adams recorder of
the municipal court. The appointment is
an excellent one and will give much salts
faction to the people OF this city. For some
time past Mr.. Adams has been the assistant
of Charles +. Sweet, Esq, clerk of courts,
and has won deserved popularity for the
thoroughness of his work as well as the
uniform courtesy displayed in the discharge
of his duties. He is we'll qualified for his
new position and will doubtless make a

1t is reported that Mr. Beers, the deposed
president Of the New York Life Insurance
company still draws pension of $4,000
year. II will be remembered that the
courts knocked out" the pension of s37 :
500 which was first allowed him by the
company. Now comes the report
that the matter has been compromised by
permitting Beers to have an annual stipend
of SIS, 900. II this report is correct there
are a large number of policy holders who
would be pleased to know just why it Is that
such condition of affairs is permitted to
exist if II be incorrect then the company
should lose no time in making known the
facts in the matter. The course pursued
towards Beers by the new president
of the company did much to win him the
confidence of the companies patrons, and
re-establish the confidence which had been
shaken by the Beers epizode. They will be
truth in this report that Beers is still receiv.
ing princely pension. There is something
extremely distasteful to the American mind
in the idea of thus treating man who
appears to have been very properly deposed
from the control of purely business organ.
Aa,ion and whom it would seem could not
legitimitely have any further claims upon its
bounty.
