LAW FOR SLEEPING CARS
A Bill to Give the Public the Value o,
Their Money.

In the last few minutes before Congress
adjourned on Saturday, Senator Sherman in.
troduced an amendment to the pooling bill
now before the Senate. providing that all
sleeping cars shall furnish safe for keeping
passengers valuables; that they shall be
considered common carriers, and subject &c
all responsibilities, laws and duties govern.
ing the same; that they shall not charge
more than one-half cent mile for lowers
and one-third for upper berths, nor more
than one-half cent for seat In the same.
This would not materially reduce the price
OF n sleeper from New York to Cincinnati OF
Chicago, but in small hauls would make the
cost OF a berth very small. For instance, II
is but 100 miles from Cincinnati TO Colum.

instead OF sl.50, as at present. The ine foi

TRADE REVIEW.
Consumption Irrespo sive to Increased
Production.


Holiday trade has met expectations. Par
chases have already been numerous, but
smaller than usual In amount, and more con.
fined to needful articles, thus anticipatin x
ordinary trade. Wheat has declined &c,
corn, sc and cotton is unchanged.
The market for iron and steel is waiting
but the reduction In the wages at the Edgar
Thompson works, averaging 10 per cent,
plainly indicates the same difficulty which IL
seen in other quarters, that the demand in
consumption does not answer TO the increase
In production OF pig iron. The shipments OF
rails for IL months are reckoned Mt only 90.
600 tons. Of which only 200, 900 tons are for
new roads. Numerous projects for steel
buildings are under consideration. but no i'm.
portant contract is reported. IL gives some
encouragement that the Bethlehem works
have secured a contract 10 make armor plate
for Russia, but the order for cast pipe for
Japan is still in doubt. Prices have scarcely
changed during the week, though Bessemef
pig iron and billets are, " anything, n shade
weaker. There Is larger demand In nails,
but In hardware, machinery. engines. and
railway stocks. and materials the business is
much depressed.
Failures for the week have been $50 In tho
United States. against 5ii last year and Al In
Canada, against IL last year.

BETTER CorrON-BAGGING
AND TIES NEEDED.

A circular letter OF the New Or
leans Cotton Exchange warns plant
ers against using flimsy material for
bagging their cotton bales. which
has sled to much loss and damage
to cotton in transit" The circular
says:-
To bagging manufacturers We
say that il they continue to place
upon the market the flimsy material
furnished during the past few sea-
sons they are likely to have much
Of their stock thrown back on their
hands.
Under the Mckinley law manu-
facturers Of b.gging had to pay
$25 . ton import duty on hemp not
hacked. $50 . ton on hacked
hemp, s. per cent ad valorem on
jute yarns and from 26 to 50 pei
cent on bagging for cotton. The
Wilson tariff made cotton bagging
free Of duty, but it reduced the
duty on imported jute yarns from
IS to 80 per cent, reduced hacked
hemp from $50 . ton to one cent
per pound and placed on the free
list hax and hemp not hacked.
As American manufacturers get
their jute and jute butts free Of all
duty. and rs the Wilson bill gave
them free hemp and fax (not
hackled) and also reduced the duty
on jute yarns and hacked hemp,
they ought to be able to supply
bagging Of a satisfactory quality.

ApIu SSs AoSVs
Editor st. Tammany FARMER:
Your correspondent dropped into the
quiet beautiful village Of Alton, and
had q stay of an hour. We noticed
that there had been several new houses
built since our last letter. The mill
plant has been enlarged and steam feed
put in; also dry kiln and lath ma
chine, and we find the Company's yard
we'll stocked with the finest long Leaf
yellow pine logs, which are being
brought to the mills by their pole road.
A trip out on the pole road. we find
the ramps all crowded with logs ready
to be shipped to the mill, but We saw
very little lumber stacked In the lum-
her yards, and on inquiring of Mr.. w.
varnado. President Of the Company,
he said he was shipping the lumber
Just as fast as it comes from the saw.
It is checked aboard the n. o. { n. E.
cars. In fact he has more order than
he can ill, but collection Is slow. The
Company works an entirely white crew,
and is selling lumber cheaper than the
mills with negro labor. Another thing
noticeable is, the company has never
cut wages.
Messrs. ]. Coffee aud w. Stockstill
are back from Texas with = fne

Well, we boarded the passenger train
for Honey Island. and got OF at Honey
