however, that the real reason is that an
unusually large quantity is to be
shipped east from the Hawaiian islands
next year. and that as the Southern
Pacific would not make o satisfactory

fact Il that, although in two instances
wages have been increased, the earn.
ings of the working force and its pur-
chasing power are not on the whole en-
larging at present, and prices Of the
chief farm products do not materially
improve.
Cotton reached o cents last Saturday
n has reacted three-sixteenths after q
week of heavy speculation. Wheat is

Western receipts
StilI Exceed Last Years,
amounting since July / to lO3, 500, 600
bashels against 100, 800, 600 last year.
Corn has advanced a fraction, receipts
being larger than year ago and n
the whole the outcome for farmers has
not so improved as to promise larger
buying by the West and South.
The great industries fairly maintain
the production previously reported but
cannot be expected to increase at this
season. A few more iron works have
gone into operation and the demand is
reported larger, but there is distinct
weakness in prices. Failures this week
have been in the United States $50
against 271 last year, and in Canada SO
48 last year.

Japan Buys the oEsmeralda.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-Japan has aug
mented her navy by the purchase of
the crack Gillian cruiser Esmeralda.
The deal was consummated here within
the last few days, and was managed
with great adroitness, Chilli first selling
the ship to Ecuador, and the latter
country transferring her to Japan. To
further disguise the facts, a report was
given currency that China had bought
the ship. This was to avert suspicion
until the cruiser was we'll out of danger
OF being apprehended on the high seas.
She is now ON the way to Japan by way
of Tahiti.
