Now York Wool Market.
Bradstree,s.

The good demand for wool held up to the
first of the week. The past few days have
shown an absence Of demand, and the fact
that so much wool has been sold during
the four previous weeks prevents any
break in prices. The four weeks sales in
Boston, as reported by the trade. foot up
in excess of 2S,0OO,0 900 pounds, which leaves
offerings considerably reduced, nothwith-

1t is fact pa pable to the most cur
sorry observer that iu the matter OF Sc
curing immigration the South has mol
kept pace with sections Of the country

tural pursuits.
The cities, with more enterprise than
has been credited TO them, have seem
ingiy met with no difficulty in Inducing
manufacturing concerns 10 locate there,
and as a result the South has advanced
rapidly in g commercial sense.

titles of her arabic lands, aud al. OF
the desirable conditions tending toward
their development, the resources OF the
South in that direction cannot be said
% DO developed 20 a degree IN any way
commensurate with her other Indus
tries.
Many theories have been advanced
for this neglect Of the richest portion
OF our country. That of sectional pref
udice long served IS reason for the
lack OF colonization from the North,
but the heavy investments OF Northern
capital of recent years. induced by the
hearty corporation of the southern
people, tends 20 disabuss the minds OF
the most radical that such differences
nave any real existence, and new rea-
sou must therefore be fouad for the IL
nudity Of wou.d-be immigrants.
When we reflect that OF the mass OF
educated aud well read people of the
North, an exceedingly small percent
age have any idea OF the climatic con-
diti0ns Of the South, other than that
commonly related 70 the countries d.
rectly on the equatorial line, thea may
we form some estimate OF what
may be expected OF the person of
merely ordinary intelligence In the way
Of an opinion on this subject.

10TH STREET BAPTIST CHURCH.
Everybody Remem bered During the
Week of Christmas.

The Christmas week. at the Nineteenth
Street Baptist Church has been one of
more than ordinary interest. The Home
Mission Club. Mrs. Laura Queen, president
assisted by the church, gave the poor a
sumptuous feast on the 27th ultimo in the
lecture room of the church. The Pastoral
Club Mrs. Ann Howard. president. sent to
the home of the pastor, Rev. Walter II.
Brooks. ID. D., about so worth of groceries
as a Christmas greeting. A number OF
other members of the church, under the
leadership of Deacon Henry Jarvis, pre-
scented the pastor a New Year gift in the
shape of a very fine overcoat of the latest
and most fashionable style. The choir of
the church, Mr.. Jas. Walker, leader and
other friends made glad the heart of Mr..
David Hurn, who pumps the organ during
the service of song. by giving him a suit
of new clothes. The sexton was remem-
bered by the church in a New Year gift
of $22Go and the inmates of the Home for
Destitute Colored Women and Orphan Chill
DIR IN. Sth street extended, came in for s5.o5
for their Christmas tree.
The church raises. as rule. about 500
year for benevolence, education and mis-
sions. 1t has about thirty or forty mem
bers on its list of poor, and these are aided
from time to time by monthly collections
and special offerings.
The Endeavor meeting and the watch
meeting services Sunday night were orderly,
interesting and profitable.
One of the most remarkable things about
Sunday nights meeting was the request of
the pastor at its close that all the members
and friends who proposed to begin the new
year by neither giving nor receiving in
toxicating liquors would rise to their feet.
About six hundred stood up.

FLORIDA ORANGES.
The Crop VIII BE Larger This Year
Than Was Anticipated.

From the Country Gentleman.
A correspondent writing from Marion
county, Florida, says: The Florida orance
crop. 1t is thought. will be a little larger
than ever before. 1t was estimated at from
4,ooO.0D to 4.5oooo0 boxes. A storm that
prevailed in October over the eastern part
Of the state has shortened the crop consid-
erably. In some places the estimate Of
damage was high as twenty-five per
cent
The great hurricane that desolated the
Louisiana and Mississippi coasts destroyed
most of the Louisiana CROP A company OF
Florida packers had gone to Louisiana to
pack the crop on the Bradish johnson
place. near the mouth of the Mississippi
river. The crop on that grove was estifnat-
ed at from 10000 to 1000 boxes. They got
of 1900 boxes before the storm came. 1t
destroyed all THAI was left on the trees and
blew down several thousane OF r, ihe trees
ParentheticalIy. 1 will say that Florida en-
joys happy Immunity from severe storms
Cyclones are unknown and hard blows are
rare.
The product of oranges has increased in
the last eight wears from 6D0,ooO to I.OO0,eO
boxes, and that amount Is about as much
as can be marketed at a proht We know
this from the experience Of the past two
seasons Production is increasing more
rapidly than the demand Unless some
great disaste. overtakes the orange groves,
il will not be many years before the pro-
duction reaches l0.VuO.UO boxes. The pres
emf crop is very fine There has been no
lack of rain this season and greater pains
have been taken 10 improve the quality OF
the fruit by more spraying, more fertiliz-
ing and better cultivation. AS the groves
increase in age and productivehess, so, it
seems, that with greater pace increase the
diseases and parasites that infest them. In
this way an enectual check TO overproduc-
ton may result
For the blight no remedy has been found
Foot rot is amenable TO treatment but is
destroying thousands of trees annually The
scale pursues the even tenor of his way

treatment One of my neighbors, who ex-

ball at the National Rifles Hall last

Burke stated that he engaged Getner to

In testifying about Joseph Burley and

boys, charged with vagrancy, the officers
stated that they belonged to gang who
slept in alleys and stables, and early in the
morning robbed doorsteps of milk and
bread. The boys wore badges of The Star
Santa Claus Club, which they had evidently
stolen. For the next fifteen days they will
devote their attention to the grading of

officers controlling the chain gang
