Trellis for BERN Bnshes.

American Gardening gives a sketch
showing a good trellis for raspberry
and blackberry bushes. 1t has only sin
gle strands Of wire, and the bushes
must be tied to them in some way. The
trellis, therefore, although cheaper than
the double trellls, is hardly as convent
ent, but it will answer, and surely
makes little patch of raspberries or
blackberries appear neat and tidy.
When blackcaps are grown for evap-
Grating purposes, as farm crop, they
must of necessity be grown cheaply,
and spending lot Of money for posts
and wires is entirely out of the ques-
ton. Close pruning is the only practl-
cable method of keeping the bushy
growth within bounds, and providing
convenient chances for gathering the
berries. For the home garden, how
ever, there is no excuse to allow this
state of affairs. A good trellis can cas-
lily be provided for the small patch Of

New York. Dec. 6.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S.
say:
Business is still sluggish. as II gorg-
ed by excessive indulgence OF the ap-
petite for buying when prices we're
advancing In nearly every branch
stocks not yet distributed to consumers
stand in the way OF new orders. and
competition of producing force largely
exceeding the present demand puts
down prices that decline, re-
tardlng purchases yet more. Az
ter the holidays men look for
a large demand. For the present
the shipments OF new bus ness are rum
ming low, but enough is being done on
orders to keep most of the works em-
ployed In part, and a good prop )rt.on
fully. Financial Influences nave not
been hlndcred and rarely has the open
ing OF n session Of congress affected
business so little.
Wheat advanced but cent Tor the
week. Corn moves from farms less
freely than year ago, the low prices
hinderlng. but exports wore I293,T4
bushels against 1883 last year.
Cotton has been weak, declining Lie
for the week. and the Janua'y option

come into sight, 80 ser cent. less than
last year. n date does not Indicate
a Yield IS or 40 per cent. smaller. as
many predict. though the recent move
ment is very slow. Northern spin
ners have taken about third less than
last year.
Wool has been slightly strengthen
ed by the London sales, but the average
OF quotations by commission men is
only 1-l0 per cent. higher. Sales con-
tinue heavy, 100000 pounds for the
week. OF which 60 per cent. was for
eiGn.
Manufacturers have much machinery
idle at present, and orders thus far
are not encouraging. Dress goods In
less demand, and Atlantic all wool
cashmeres were reduced 10 per cent.
Iron and its products are lower. An
thracite No. / Is at sl3; plates at sl5
and bar 1870 and Bessemer pig sl2 at
Valley mills, and blllets $3.50, The
average OF all quotations is S1-2 per
cent below the highest In September
last, but the actual sales are frequent
" made below quotations. The pro-
posed combination of lake ore pro-
ducers has not yet been Effected, ana
with the fall In prices of iron Is less
probable. There is less pressure TO
sell southern PIE ore, ana large trans
actions have been made by concessions
while the small demand has broken the

ROGER RISES TO ExpLAIy.
Says thc Objections Raised to Ills
mn Are FnIinrlou-.

Washington. Dec. Ex-senator Mills'
attention was called today to tho fact
that objections had been made to that
part OF his bill directing the fecretary
OF the treasury TO pay out silver when
the reserve ia below 500 O0O,0 900, viz.
that Il would put gold above par and
at a premium.
This reasoning" he replied. us ut
terly fallaoiouB. That result can take
place only when the volume OF silver
or paper Is no Increased as to increase
prices In this country. when gold
would be exported. but no moro marlp-
ulation OF the silver or paper now In
circulation can change prices OF pro-
duets. II the treasury refuses gold
for export. the exporters must do AS
other exporters do. buy bills OF OK
change. II the treasury notes are all
paid or bonded. the result would be the
same. Exporters would pay promi-
ums on gold when exported, but Tho
gold standard would remain I'M
changed"
When" he continued. "ihc gold re-
serve Ia over si0O.00o00o. the treasury

deem its notes in either gold or silver.

and the secretary should protect the
government by paying In standard
silver coins and stop run that may be
made to embarrnss the treasury and
compel II to sell bonds TO foreign md
domestic capitalists seeking invest-
ment for idle Millions"
Explaining other provisions OF the
bill, Mr. Mills said he had provided for
the coinage OF silver bullion In the
treasury into fractional coin rather
than Into dollars, because II that shape
II would be more convenient and that
he had provided for the Issuance of
treasury notes In case of q temporary
deficiency In the revenues because the
bonds bear interest and notes do not.
IAN Individual" he said. never pays

The government should follow the
same business principle"

Washington, Dec, Ex-senator Dubois
said today that the frlends OF silver did

The silver men he thought viii 10 FAR

foto, the British ambassador. tonight,
The answer was brought to Washing
ton by Donaldson, the special messon-
ger OF the embassy, who makes regular
trips TO New York for the purpose OF
carrying the official mail TO and from
Washington. Donaldson received the
rcply from The steward OF the steam
smp Britannia on which II arrived at
New York at o'clock this morning,
Donaldson Immediately left for WASH

here az 10 the nature OF the reply which
Lord salisbury has made to tho Amerl-
can secretary OF state,
Ambassador Pnuncefote said tonight
that Lord snlisbury's letter would be
presented To Secretary Oiney tomorrow.
There WAS n pretty general discussion
or venezuelan affairs among members
OF the house today. The general opin-
Ion among those who have the conduct
OF foreign affairs In charge In tho
house is that Lord Snliabury'H reply
would he diplomatic evasion OF the
query OF the United States and while
expressing willingness 20 arbIirate AZ
to a portion OF the disputed territory
VIII deny the right OF the United States
to ask Great Britain to arbitrato as

Grnat Britain claims I. hers beyond

that Great Briiain'a reply viii temper
