FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.

During the last year the business for
truck farmers was not altogether salts
factory The winter was a very severe
one, and cold snaps in the spring rendered
early shipments in any quantity out of the
question When active shipments started
IN, other states were in the market in a
very short period after Florida and GeOr-
gia, causing somewhat of a glut. The
consequences was prices fell rapidly until
II became unproiitable to ship NORTH The
crop in all kinds Of vegetables was a fair
one, and the shipments about equalied
those Of the previous year.
The orange traffic bid fair in the early
Dart Of the fan TO be very profitable, but
the severe freeze in December and Janua-
~ destroyed nearly the entire crop still
on the trees, and caused losses from
which the growers will not be able to re-
cover for several years.
The shipments Of melons were quite
large Those by rail greatly exceeded any
previous year, while those by steamer
were about the same as the season Of 1885
81. Fairly remunerative prices were re-
ceiVed during the early shipments, but
the enormous quantity thrown on the mar
ket during the month Of July caused a
heavy giut and values declined to such
an extent that il was Improbable TO ship.
The redeeming feature of the whole
Truit and vegetable business was the eX-
cellent crop of peaches, and the fair
prices received early in the season. 1t was
the first time for number of years that
great crCp of peaches had been gathered
in Georgia. The demand was excellent.
The crop of pears was very large. The
immense quantities shipped north over
stocked the market during August and
very low prices were realized. In Florida
some of the growers became disheartened.
and thought seriously of cutting down
their trees, but the most enterprising
growers of Georgia and Florida have de-
cided to formulate some plan whereby
they can dispose of their fruit a a profit,
as soon as the prices decline below the
profit line at the north. 1t is probable
that more attention will hereafter be paid
to canning factories in the pear-growing
section.
During the last three weeks of August
fruit and vegetable stocks in New York
city accumulated 10 such an extent on
receivers hands that hundreds of cart
loads We're carried to the dump heap.
They included tomatoes, melons, pears
and other kinds of fruit and vegetables.
Though of good quality when received,
they deteriorated until they became worth
less. Much of this truck had been shipped
from Georgia and Florida.
Appended is a statement of the exports
by water route of fruits IN packages, num-
Der of melons and vegetables in packages
to the different coastwise ports. There
was a considerable quantity going inland
by rail, of which it is impossible to give
an accurate account;

REAL ESTATE.

The last year was one of unusual dull
ness in real estate. Prices were maintain
ed because of the firmness of holders.
Transactions, both in number and size,
did not compare favorably with those of
the year before. The sales made, how
ever, showed no falling off in values. This
is a surprising feature of the market, ana
to some extent accounts for the small
number of transactions. Buyers expected
concessions, which holders did not con-
cede. and brokers complained that the
overcome Very frequently this differ
ence was not great, bus it proved large
enough to prevent deals.
The difference between buyers and SELL
ers seem to be honest ones, yet hard to
reconcile, because their is some show OF
reason on both sides. Buyers claim that
value than previously, that
great change has taken place
in the market value of nearly all
commodities and notably in the prices or
securities, and that real estate should re-
spond to this almost universal change.
Holders, however, maintain that real es-
tate is the one exception to the general
rule and that il is the exception that
proves the rule. They say there has been
no decline in the price of realty, that be-
cause of the general shrinkage in other
kinds of property, greater confidence has
been felt in this kind that this confidence
has not been impaired during the perilous
times through which we have passed, ana
that that fact alone establishes the ground
for frmness in prices. This failure or
traders to get together will account for
the dearth of transactions. When people
are making money" or rather are pros
porous, the differences referred to are cas-
lily overcome. Buyers are then willing to
yield and to strain a point rather than
miss getting what they fancy. But our
people are not making money enough to
have some to invest; they are paying their
debts, and have been doing this for twol
or three years. When this is through
with, and balances in their favor are Gre
ated, then will the transactions in really
increase, and activity in the market be

and they continued to be held very firmly
Gradually the choicest in the southern
extension are being absorbed, and SO soon
as the conditions are ripe, we will expe-
rience a great building boom. The holders
of this species Of property must put their
property in shape to attract attention and
should insist upon streets being graded
and trees cared for by the city. That por-
ton of the city south of Anderson is
destined TO be a very important portion
but 1t now lacks much of being neat and
attractive. A very important factor in
the strengthening Of the position of realty
loans. All through the year large sums
have been offered upon long and short
mortgages, and much Of it has been taken.

HARDWARE.

The hardware business, during the win
ter and spring of the last year, was very
unsatisfactory, in point Of volume and
collections. The prospects for good sea-
son were bright at the opening of the
year, and merchants had done a large bus
mess, and shipping out quantities of goods
for the fall trade. The low price of cotton
caused the demand to drop off at the very
beginning of the season, and filling in or
ders were few and Ear between. The mer-
chants in the interior endeaVOred to pay
up, not promptly, but slowly.
The business done in Florida for the
spring trade was backSet to the bust
ness. The destruction of the fruit crops
paralyzed business to such an extent that
the majority of the merchants were COM
PEELED to ask for an extension on their
bills. The wholesale merchants of this
city have many accounts to carry of this
kind.
About June l, the conditions of the gen.
eral trade became brighter and prominent
~ among the trades affected was hard
ware. Raw material began to advnce rap
idly, and manufactured articles fell in
line quickly. The business during July
Of the previous year, and, although col
lections remained slow, the prospects for
a prosperous season was never brighter
Indeed, all evidence in hand is that there
is to be good fall trade, and manufac-
turers are endeavoring to place production
and prices to the wants of the public.
Several minor lists in the hardware bus
mess have been rearranged ana marked
up, and the advances range from to 10
per cent. Nails have been the most prom
inent feature in the rise, having advanced
about 100 per cent. in the last three months.
The wholesale hardware merchants of
this city are enterprising men, who use
their utmost endeavors to stimulate trade
and bring business to Savannah. They
have been handicapped to some extent by
the continued determinations in freight
rates in favor of other points, especially
from Lorthern cities to towns in Florida.
This Is the most serious complaint they
have to make about the past years BUSH

GLENwOOD CEMETERY.
COmmi ssiOners DiscIaim Any Inten-

COmmf ssfOners Disclaim Any Inten-
tfNn to Hurt the Property.
The attention of the Commissioners was
called today to certain allegations said 20
be contained in bill for an injunction filed
in behalf of the Glenwood Cemetery AS
sociation yesterday. The Commissioners
stated that 1t had never at any time been
determined by them to project any street
through said cemetery. A tentative map
was prepared which showed certain streets
upon the grounds occupied by portion of
the cemetery which was understood by
them not now to be used for burial pur-
of the cemetery were requested with re-
gard to the same. Sketches showing the
same were sent to Mr.. Mattingly, repre-
senting the cemetery, for his consideration,
but at no time has the board of Commits
soners decided to incorporate the streets
so sletched into the street extension plan.
They stated that the position always taken
by the board was that the whole matter
with regard to such cemeteries was to de-
pend upon negotiation with the officials
representing the cemetery association, in
asmuch such stipulations Were plainly
required by the terms of the act of 1855.
The published allegation that the Commits
soners were about to invade the sacred
precincts of a cemetery was simply ridicu-
louS, inaSmuch before any action could
be had even if the matter had been agreed
upon by the board of Commissioners, the
consent of the cemetery association would
be required the matter would have to be
passed upon by the court under the terms
OF the act, and the money for condemna-
ton of the streets would have to be ap-
propriated by Congress.

Evidences of the Intention to Join
Baltimore to Washington.
What will be known as the southern de-
partment of the proposed electric railroad
between this city and Baltimore, and
ington and Laurel, Nd, is now being sur
veyed and laid out for the contractors, to
whom the work will be shortly awarded,
and several parties are at work upon it,
one being stationed at Hyattsville, under
charge of Mr.. John D. Riley, and another
being ready to take the field at the Laurel
end. The entire road between the two
cities will be finished by May 10, 1896, and
it is said that it will be equipped and in
running order by August following. The
means of entrance into this city and Bal
timore have been secured by the recent
purchase of the Belt and lexington lines
here and of the Edmonson avenue and
other lines in Baltimore.
The various franchises, including those
of the Columbia Railway Company, neces-
sary to allow the construction of a con-
tinuous line between the cities have been
consolidated, and by July 10 it is expected
the work of actual construction will be
commenced and rapidly pushed
The line is expected to leave Washington
at the head of Rhode Island avenue eX-
tended. and will follow the Washington
and Baltimore turnpike to Laurel, thence
to Ellicott City, and will probably reach
Baltimore by way of Catonsville. The ac-
tivity of the promoters of the enterprise
has created considerable interest among
persons owning property along the pro-
posed road, especially in the neighborhood
of this city, and plans for several new
subdivisions in contiguity to it are being
already made.

With One Scrape,

Henry Roberts. the sixteen-year-old boy
who pleaded guilty a few days ago of as.
saulting the little girl Lillian ]. Spooner
on the 25th of last March. was called up
today for sentence before Judge Cole.
Roberts offense consisted of riding a bicv.
Gle along 18th street and firing off a re-
volver. One of the balls struck the girl in

pom. and subsequently he was indicted for
assaulting the girl with intent to kill.
When the case was called up today AS
sistant District Attorney Jeffords stated

position of the case, explained Mr.. JefTortls
The boy claimed that he had served the
sentence imposed in the Police Court but
Judge Cole wished more information in the
matter and remanded the boy to Jail for
week that such information might be pre-
Sented to him.

THE SILVER COMBINE.

Free Coinage Campaign.
| Chicago Special to the Philadelphia Press.
A combina ton of western mine owners
| and their moneyed allies in Philadelphia and
| New York is carrying between S50.O0O000
| and $50, 900 900 of silver bullion. 1t has
| about $4,000, 900 of it's own in the pool, and
| is borrowing the rest in New York, London
San Francisco aid other cities where cap
ital is available on silver collateral. The
pool can borrow on silver close up to the
public quotations, though it is not obliged
to do so. having a large surplus of it's own,
but it nevertheless finds the deal a costly
one The interest and storage charges are
running at the rate of nearly 100000, and
they are getting larger, for production has
not stopped and the combination is making
a market for the output of the mines by
taking the bullion and storing it. The COM
bination is playing desperately and cour-
ageously for a splendid stake. If 1t can
force this government into free coinage it
stands to make anywhere from $4,000, 900
to S75.0OU,000, depending on the time, the
amount Of bullion it will have on hand and
ether circumstances and conditions now
largely speculative.
People have wondered at the perseverance
and the force in the free silver campaign.
They have marveled at the energy displayed
by the apostles of silver, their ability to
cover territory ana the unIalllnS regularity
with which the leaders turn up during the
thick of the fight.
Most of the takers Of note are poor men,
yet they travel in Palace cars, put up at
the best hotels take long jumps and are
here, there and everywhere, marshaling the
forces infusing enthusiasm into the masses
and keeping up interest by every known
artifice. Now it is asserted that the silver
combine is paying the bill. The silver cam
paign is inspired by the silver conspira tors,
and is as busness-like an enterprise as
ever was wheat, pork or stock corner. 1t
is sordid from the ground up, but SO clev-
erly have the conspirators kept themselves
in the background that the truth Is only
beginning to appear. Even now many of
the details are lacking, but the main fact
is known.
The mass of silver bullion has been
qured by the combination under 20 cents
per ounce. If the campaign now on foot
can be carried to a successful issue the
holders hope to be able to unload at s1.20
and above. BY keeping up the agitation
they imagine that within two years they
will secure such legislation as they need,
either by international agreement or by in
dependent action by this country.

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
The License Year.

With the end of the present month the
current fiscal year terminates. All licenses
issued by the Commissioners for miscella-
neous industries also run out. Assessor
Trimble has been busy these days reissuing
licenses to public vehicles and dealers gen.
orally who are required by law to pay an
annual license fee for the privilege of doing
business in the District of Columbia. The
Golfers of the government are considerably
Swelled by reason of this revenue, and it
plays an important part in the annual ex-
peHditures of the Commissioners. From all
evidences the revenue this year will be
considerably augmented. Already a large
number of new licenses have been issued.
Water Rent.
A question which is likely to be decided
by the courts, and one of considerable i'm
portance to property owners, was presented
to the Commissioners yesterday by George
w. King, the owner of two houses recently
erected in Georgetown. Mr.. King explained
that his tenants brought him bill for 30
cents for water rent during the short time
they had occupied the houses, with an ad-
ditional charge of s. for turning off the
water. Mr.. King claimed that he had never
received any Information that the water
rent had not been paid, and thought the
Commissioners should serve a notice upon
the owner Of the property, and not the ten
ant.

aged the succession of speakers very
smoothly and skilfully.
Mrs. Shipp discussed the household side of
economics and expressed the ambition to
become a home missionary to young fami-
lies in the throes Of housekeeping.
Miss Slater talked of economical sight
seeing.
Miss Williams gave the dictionary defini-
tions of economy and made very concise
talk on the authorized uses of the word
and the consideration of economy as a
system and an art.
Miss Edwards spoke of an economy the
end and urpoSe of which was diSSipated
by the exactions of others.
Miss Anna Ellis discussed the necessity
of economy of time, and the difficulty of
virtue in dealing with those who thought
lessly rob you of that valuable and fleet
ing possession.
Mrs. Goodwin deplored the slovenliness of
and action, and so effected the misuse of
ones own time and the time of others.
Mrs. Havens thought the poorest econo-
my was to hoard dollars which can be du-
sharply limited, and vitality. which can
never be reproduced-to hold ones self
cheaper than ones material.
Miss Huodlesson discussed economy in
reading and the profit of reading by sub
jects, and so gathering what one needs and
leaving tie rest behind.
Miss Morris spoke of the encroachments
upon ones time by others. whom you can
not even serve by listening.
Miss Helen Holmes spoke upon the econ
omy of discriminating reading-of learning
to skip" also of the conservation of ones
self as worthier than ones belongings
The two hours were we'll filled, and after
the gentle criticisms of the board of CEN
sors had been received the academists went
out into the rain. with shining faces as
those who spend their lives spiritual

Secretary O1ncy's Suggestions to At
tOrney General Harmon.
Secretary Olney has written a letter to
Attorney General Harmon in regard to the
reported organization Of Cuban flibuster-
ing expeditions, in which he Gays that
while The State Department has no tangi-
Bile evidence of the equipment and arming
of vessels to aid the Cuban insurrection, it
deems it of great Importance that no possi-
BILE opportunity be given for complaints
that the government of the United States
has in any respect fallen short of it's full
duty to a friendly nation. He suggests
therefore that the United States attorneys
and marshals for the several districts en-
bracing the coast line between New York
and Brownsville have their attention called
to the subject, and be specially enjoined to
see to it that the neutrality laws of the
United States are faithfully observed, and
all violations thereof promptly and vigor-
Cusly prose ,uted.
Complying with Mr.. Olney's suggestions,
the Attorney General has taken all steps
necessary and proper to prevent any viola
tion of the neutrality laws.
