TEA CROP SHORT.

Ba News for Lovers of the Cup Which l
 Cheers, But Does Not Inebriate. New York Herald.
 There is a big shortage in the tea crop | in China and Japan-that is, if cable mes- ! sages received in this city may be re- lied on. and they are indorsed by some of the most reliable houses in the tea trade. There will not be tea famine, however, for the stock on hand in the United States is sufficient to supply the tea drinkers of the country with their beverage for a year to come.
 BIG SHRINKAGE IN OOLoNGS.
 From Annoy comes news that there is a big shrinkage in the crop of Formosa belongs, and that the teas are of low grade. The Annoy crop in 1894 was 95,000 half chests; in 1895 it fell to 65,000, and this year the outlook Is that there will not be more than 25,00O half chests on the market
 But it is from Japan that really bad news comes. The advices say that the crop of green teas will be about 10,000.000 pounds less than last year, and, as more than nine-tenths of this crop is sent to the United States. the supply here will be fully 90 per cent. below that Of last year. No fine teas are to be had. and the common sorts are up to 10 to b per cent.
 Foochow belongs are short, too. The output will be 25,000 chests short of last year, and the prices in China, the dis patches say, are going up like a rocket. but brokers discount the last statement and look for moderate advance. Rus- sians have cleared all the dust and sift- ings on the Foochow market, something unheard of before, and some say this act- tion is forerunner of mild famine. GREAT FALLING OFF IN JAPAN TEAS.
 "I have not heard of there being any shortage in black teas." said Joseph H. Lester. tea broker, of No. Ill Wall street, when I saw him last evening. My ad.

TT WILL BE A PLENTY

There Is no grounds upon which to con- tend that the people did not understand the issues involved in the campaign. They voted to enthrone Hanna and his crowd, knowing full well the issues. If they have sinned they did so against light. When he goes into office MT. Me Kinley will know that the people have commissioned him to maintain the ex- isting gold standard at all hazards. To do that has cost s2e2, 900 of bonds since lS93 If MT. Mckinley has any other plan than the issuance of bonds to keep up the gold standard 1t is by the reen- actment of his bill to decrease the re- ceipts of the government, at least that is the only plan which he has suggested up to this date. If he decides to adopt that plan we presume he will have the caption of the bill changed from "a bill to decrease the receipts of the govern ment" to "a bill to increase the receipts of the government" At any rate the people have spoken. They have said MT. Mckinley, while you have not been very explicit in what you propose to do, we commission you to go and do something for us If Hanna has his way, and we think he will, what he has Mr. McKin- ley to do for the people who have in dorsed him and his methods. will we are sure be a plenty.

vices are to the effect. however, that there has been a great falling off in the greens or Japan teas Do l look for tea famine? No, the idea is ridiculous. It has been a bad season for the tea crop that's all. The United States has stock enough on hand to carry 1t over till the next crop has been gathered"
 MT. Samuel Lee, of the firm of Hew- lett & Lee, was not so optimistic.
 '"The advices quoted of failure of the tea crop agree precisely with the news re- celved by our firm." he said. "It has been a bad year for teas. and the Chinese mar ket is advancing strongly. No. the short age will not effect us seriously this year. at all events, for we have a heavy stock on hand. owing to the political situation and the lack of business confidence"
 Mr. Cholwell, of Hamilton & Cholwell, No 128 Front street, indorsed everything that Mr. Lee said, for he, too, had res ceiyed advices that there would be bia shortage in the tea crop, and rumors td the same effect were heard from every tea firm in the city.
 q thought at first" said jovial brok- CT, "that Li Hung Chang had learned the art of 'cornering' and was trying to maka things blue for Mayor Strong, but l am satisfied now that it is no joking matter. There's great shortage in the visible supply"
 Famine or not, the market for tea and it's backbone stiffened yesterday. There is a big demand and advancing prices.

Every housekeeper should know:
 That salt should be kept in dry place. That melted butter will not make good cake.
 That veal should be white. dry and close-grained.
 That the colder eggs are, the quicker they will froth.
 That good management is better than a good income.
 That mutton should be deep red and close-grained
 That nutmegs should be grated at the blossom end first.
 That to make good pastry the ingred- tents must be very cold.
 That the best poultry has firm flesh, yellow skin and legs.
 That lemons will keep for weeks if cov- cred with cold water.
 That the best beef is moderately fat and the flesh of a bright red color
 That pork should be fine, close grained and the rind smooth and thin.
 That soap and chalk mixed and rubbed on mildewed spots will remove them.
 That spoonful of vinegar added to the water in which meat or fowls are boiled makes them tender
 That good macaroni is of a yellowish tint, does not break readily in cooking, and swells to three or four times its bulk. That if little vinegar is kept boiling on the stove while onions or cabbage are cooking 1t will prevent the disagreeable odor going through the house.

 A party of Kentuckians was in Wash ington some years ago and called on the congressman from their district. During the conversation the visitors asked about Col. -, former neighbor, who had been living in Washington for some time. "Im very sorry to tell you, gentlemen" replied the member of congress, that Col. - is in hard luck. He is very poor, indeed, I assure you. He does not complain. and it was only by accident that learned of his straitened circum- stances. He has a room across the hall from my room at the hotel. A few nights ago I went across to borrow his corkscrew. Would you believe it, gen. tlemen, Col. - is actually so poor his corkscrew is rusty?"

Doesn't it strike you that there is one bird of us too manyY' Tt precisely does," said the marquis: "my choice is pistols and, as is appropriate for birds of our species. let us fight in the trees.' As if it were not a sufficient ly ridiculous thing that one man should challenge another because his name was Sparrow and the others Blackbfrd, the duel was actually fought from trees, the seconds standing on the ground below. The pistols were fired at the signal There was a rustling among the leaves of one of the chestnut trees. It was Pierrot dIsaac, who. wounded severely in one leg, came tumbling to the ground. At this point the marquis began to chirp tri- umphantly, initiating the song of a black bird. This was a fresh insult. to be atoned for in only one way; and d1saac waited for his wound to recover to chal- lenge Sainte-Marie for the chirp. This time the duel was fought with swords and Sainte-M Marie was badly wounded the sparrow had avenged himself on the blackbird.

Those heretofore democrats who have been busy predicting the return of pros perity on the election of the republican candidate can now, if they choose, pass a few spare moments in attempting to figure out how it is that the defeat of the party which placed the present adminis- tratlon in power rebounds to the glory and honor of that administration, while the party which has had its support In this contest failed to carry a county in the United States.

DUN'S COMMERCIAL REVIEW.

h Feeling that the Financial Future ID
still Uncertain Has a Very Depressing
influences Upon Railway and Trust Stocks
Wheat Market Remarkably Well Sup
ted-Cot Lower-Iron Dull-Shos
Trade Weakening.
NEW YORK, July 1s.-R. G.. Dun &
Co. say to-day. in their weekly review
of trade:
Failures for the week have been 26s
in the United States, against 25S last
year, and IS in Canada, against SO last
year.
Disapproval of the action at the Chi
cago convention has had some infu.
ence in the markets the past week,
but a far more important factor has
been the feeling that the financial
future is still uncertain. The average
price for 90 active railroad stocks has
declined from S47. % to si4. 95 per share,
Il the average of trust stocks from
S47. 80 to S+4.4s per share.
The wheat market has been remark.
ably well supported, in spite of a very
favorable report by the government,
and prices are a shade higher than a
WIN osOY "ltl4OOI any ulSCONC1 JIG
reason connected with American sup.
ply or demand. Western receipts of
wheat have been 3,5si, 600 bushels,
against 1.4S5, 300 for the same week of
July of last year, and Atlantic ex-
ports, -four included, have been 1,1s5,-
900 bushels, against only 547,O1S for
the same week last year.
Cotton hos foIl.n ,hort hole n oont
in options and o~ne-quarter in spot
prices, because the men who were
sure there would be a cotton famine
in July and have been holding large
quantities of corn in expectation OF
higher prices, have changed their
minds.
The wooden manufacture is waiting,
and as new orders are exceedingly
slow, the sales of wool at the three
chief markets were for the week only
2,255,000 pounds, transactions at Bos-
ton being reported the lowest ave
known at that market.
The output of pig iron July l was
lsO,532 tons weekly, against Isl, &c
June l, and 171,194 a year ago. Con.
sidering the fact that the accumula-
ton by the great steel companies must
have been large, the consumption is un.
doubtedly smaller than u year ago.
The manufacture of boots and shoes
is weakening under the effort to secure
an advance in price, although most of
the works have orders for some time
ahead. But the demand is very light
and nearly all the shops would have te
close if dependent on new orders.

Col. Peabody and Henry Russell
were astir early and were surprised
that the governor had not put in an
appearance when they were ready to
start. They went to call him and
were Mortified at finding him dead.
The was Immediately notified.
The remains will be taken to his late
home in Boston.
Little Pabos, where Gov. Russell
died, lies near the entrance to the Bay
of Chaleaur, a large inlet of the st.
Lawrence 1t is reached by a small
steamer from Quebec.
Hon. William Eustis Russell was
BORN in Cambridge, Mass, in 1857. He
was educated in the public schools and
in Hazard college, where he graduated
in 1877. He then began the study OF
law under his fathers direction and
took a course of three years in the
Boston University law school. He was
admitted TO the Suffolk bar in the
April term of 1850.
Mr.. Russell was only IS years old
when, in 1885, he was elected mayor of
his native city, having already served
as councilman and alderman. In 1855
he was nominated for governor, but
was defeated by Ames. 1t was in this
year that Gov. Russell gave e=idence
of his gifts as a stump speaker. He
worked and talked necessarily, going
about from one place to another. He
was renominated for governor in
1889. This time his competitor was
Gov. Bracket. Mr.. Russell, at the end
of a vigorous campaign, reduced the
plurality of his opponent from $4,000 tC
5,775. Next year., on his third trial, he
was elected by a plurality of 1900. In
his inaugural message he suggested
many reforms in state management,
but few of them became operative,
owing to a hostile legislature and a
hostile council. Russell was re-elect.
ed governor Of his state twice. lie
retired at the end of his third term to
resume the practice of law.
Russell's name was mentioned by lis
admirers in New England as one which
would look well at the head of the
democratic national ticket. At the
jefferson celebration in Monticello
early in this year, the ex-governor
made a strong declaration in favor of
honest money. He was associated
with Senator Hill and ex-Secretary
Whitney in the contest over the plat
form at the recent Chicagorconvention
and kept his state in line with New
York against free silver.
