suitable vessels scarce, there is no disposition
shown to meet Shippers at any concession from
recent rates paid. Rates for naval store tonnage
from the South do not improve, hence few vessels
are Offering for that trade. Tonnage with spruce
lumber from the Provinces to the River Plate con
tinues in demand and the business completed
during the interval indicates a firm maintenance
of the recent advance. For medium size vessels
50 and SO are the quotations to Buenos Ayres
and Rosario; for large tonnage probably 20 cents
less could be done. There is very little inquiry
for pitch pine tonnage from the Gulf though yes
sells are offered quite freely for forward loading
upon the basis of Sl2.25 to $3.50 TO Buenos
Ayres. Some inquiry is noticed for lumber and
case oil tonnage to Brazil, and though shippers
are prepared to meet fun market rates suitable
vessels offered very sparingly. The South
America and West India general cargo trades con-
tinue dull and depressed. Orders are very scarce,
hence opportunity is offered to obtain more
remunerative terms for vessel owners Home
freights from sugar, molasses and logwood ports
are of limited character and rates have eased
off from the quotations previously obtained. For
lumber tonnage from the South there continues a
dull market, with rates low and unsatisfactory. A
moderate inquiry is experienced for golfers to the
Eastward, with rates maintained upon general
ly steady basis.

Use Made of Peach Stones.

Some people may wonder what be-.
comes OF all the peach stones, know.
ing, OF course, that there must be
great quantities of them, from the
millions of bushels OF peaches grown
from year to year and sold in the
markets. Peach stones were formerly
bought by several nursery firms here,
who, in turn, dried and assorted them,
and sold large quantities in the South.
The State of Georgia took great
many; so also the West, especially
the State of Michigan, and, in fact.
wherever it was thought peach
orchards could be set out to advantage.
Then the wholesale druggists took
them, but in limited quantities. for
their prussic acid ingredients. They
were also stored by the packers, and
sold at about $3.50 per carload of,
say, twenty-five bushels, and those
not sold in the manner mentioned
we're used for fnel in the winter after
they were we'll dried. But this year
there seems to be no demand for them,
and packers who have room to do so
are drying them for fuel.-Baltimore

A Marvellous Bottle.

A great curiosity has recently been
brought into England from Monghyr,
in Asia-the Ur of the Chaldees. It
is an ordinary white wine glass bottle
of Enthusiastically European manufac-
ture. Finding its way to the Orient,
it fell into the hands of some ingen.
ious Asiatic, who inscribed upon the
interior of the bottle one of the odes
of Hafiz. How this was accomplished
no European has been able to discover.
Not George III. puzzling over the
problem of how the apple got within
the dumpling could have been more
dumfounded.
