A eeTwEgN-sEAsoN TRADE.
Gain in General Business During the
Week Less than Expected.

New York, May 1-R. g. Dun &
Co.'S Review of Trade tomorrow will
say:
As the season advances there is
more business, but adyices indicate that
on the whole, the prevalent feeling is
that the gain is less than there was
reason to expect. While retail trade
has been active enough to materially
lessen stocks and obligations, and
thus to prevent a great many threaten
ed embarrassment it has not yet
brought enough new business to mills
on factories to prevent decrease OF un~
filled orders and closing OF some
works. Substantially the same state
of things exists in all the great indus
tries, Notwithstanding the strong
coinbnaI ions ia some, and evidence OF
inadequate consumption appears IN
the fact that the general range OF
prices for commodities, farm aud mine,
as well as manufactured products, il
nearly ] per cent lower than it was
April list, and the lowest ever known,
the decline since October 1892, being
fG.7 per cent. Speculation has raised
cot on an eighth, though receipts aud
crop prospects still favor lower prices
ana accumulated stocks Of unsold
goods are very large. Wheat has de-
clined 45ac for cash, with better az
counts Of winter and rapid seeding OF
spring. With only two months Of the
crop set remaining there is little to
encourage higher prices. Some cot on
mills have ceased production, includ-
ing one large printing establishment
and stocks on hand still increase,
though for brown goods there has been
better legitimate demand, and great
quantities Of ginghams have been
moved by drives at prices low beyond
all precedent
Failures for the week have been 23s

MONTE CARLO.

There is much talk here about a strange
coincidence. Two years ago all English lady
was robbed of jewels worth 30.OOOf. She
accused her chambermaid, who was CON
demued to a years Imprisonment but pardon
ed after six months and expelled from the
Principally. Her mother, the concierge Of
a villa occupied by a Russian, died. The
Russian left the villa u few days ago, On
Saturday the gardener, while at work in the
garden discovered at a depth of Lin. the
stolen Jewels, which the mother of he culprit
had been unable to remove before hBr death,
and which her daughter, expelled from the
Principally and watched by the police, had
been unable to dig up. Tbs English lady,
who is here, but who was on the point of
going away, has postponed her journey ia
order to receive back her jewels. To ex-
plain the interest excited by this discovery
it should be stated that two yeaIs ago the
attitude of the lady, who is very well known
here, was much criticized. She Was said by
many to have prosecuted on insufficient
grounds and to nave obtained the condemna-
ton of an innosent womsn.-Ibi

Greenland Sea, Of which there is no evidence.
BY Davis Strait enormous quantities of ice
are constantly passing down in July and
August, but none of it from the Arctic basin
proper. These and other facts which he
cites tell strongly, he says, against Nanssn's
succeeding in his original project, but they
need not have been an obstacle in his reach
ing a certain distance north from the coast
of Siberia, for if, as is generally believed, the
ice is never solidIy frozen over in large water
spaces, but is occasionally i'll motion, lanes of
navlgab!e water exist through which a vessel
may pass by her own motive power, as is
constantly done in Bafin's Bay, though the
Joe is doubtless much heavier. The fate of
the Jeanette in 1881 has been cited as
proving Il northsrly current from the coast of
Siberia over the North Pole, but this is not
the case. She was carried from BehIing
Strait Ill two summers, principally by her
W motive power, III an almost westerly
direction for 900 miles, and was broken up
by the ice in the vicinity of the New Siberian
Islands, the point from which n nsen pro-
posed to start to the North. The cases of
the Jeannette and Nansen'S ship are, how
ever, We y dissimilar, and no unfavourable
inference need necessarily be drawn from The
fate of the former, g vessel by n means
suitable to the ssrvies on which she was

DIVERSIFICATION IN CANE
FARMING.

In this issue will be found a letter from
our Mauritius correspondent which shows
how rapidly cane culture and sugar manu-
f~acture are separating there, and pointing
directly to the complete separation i'll the
near future. Another interesting point in
the same letter is that wherein reference ls
made to the production of tea in Mauritius,
the low prices Of sugar doubtless leading to
this diversihcation.
In tho British colony of Trinidad, lying
of. the coast of unhappy Venezuela, he sugar
industry has been languishing Tor many
years. and relief has come to them IN some
degree by the Introduction OF the cocoa or
chocolate bean.
In like manner Jamaica, whore the sugar
industry once fourished, hns largely diinln-
ished in its old time conspicuity IL that staple
and has now gone largely into fruit culture,
oranges and bananas being prominent factors
in Jamaican exports.
In Louisiana ordinarily the alternative
crop with sugar cane has been rice. The low
prices Of this commodity during rec emit years
have been simply ruinous to its producers,
they faring as badly and perhaps at times
worse than the sugar planters.
The Time would therefore seem to have
coms for us in Louisiana to at least produce
our home supplies, and any way those OF any
commodity wherein the freight question Is q
matter of moment. Corn, oats, hay, pOta-
toes. etc.. can readily be produced IN Loulsl.
ana, and our State should export instead OF
import these commodities. The severe les
sog 3 so thoroughly taught us during recent
wears should lead to earnest Ell 'rts on our
I art to practise all possible economies, and
some Of them lie in the direction thus lndl-
eated.-LOuisiaxa Planter

THE NEBRASKA EVAPORATOR.

The Nebraska State journal has the fol-
lowing to say about the celebrated "Nebras-
ka evaporator," which has provoked so much
discussion among sugar manufacturers
The apparatus is simplicity itself, and did
not inspire those familiar with the costly
present apparatus with any great confidence,
in its ability to do the work. 1t was too
easy. 1t consists Of a copper cylinder about
30 feet long and Is inches in diameter, set at
a slight pitch, and levolved about Is rtvulu-
ITEMS u minute. This is surrounded by an
outer jacket, the space between being filled
with steam pipes. A blast fan at one end
draws off the all as soon az it is loaded up
with the vapor. AS it requires twO operations
to reduce the juice to the proper density, a
second cylinder is placed beneath, the higher
end at the mouth of the lower end of the upper
cylinder. The same fan serves both cylin-
dsrs. The juice lis turned on at the upper
end of the top cylinder, the cylinder is set
III motion and the evaporation sets up such a
steam that one can not zee through the cy-
Under. By the time the juice Lad flowed
down to Ihv lower end its density has in
creased to about, 50. and it is thick juice"
1t then passes through the other cylinder and
comes out brown, sticky raw sugar, techni-
eally known as "masSe cutie" This raw
sugar can be put in cardboard barrels that
cost almost nothing, and shipped to the end
of the earth, if desired, for the refining Ibid.

From the Carpasian the men were

GRASP THE OPPORTUNITY.

1t is generally conceded by the gov
eminent engineers, and all those who
are unbiased throughout the State,
that PaScaguula is the only real ma
tural point on the gulf coast Of Mis-.
siSSippi tora deep water harbor. Here
is the enormous saw mill commerce Of
a vast timber region, and a river nay
gable for some one hundred miles.
1t is the home Of a large fleet Of pow
crful tugs and tow boats. 1t has a
safe harbur, and n capable with a
minimum expense Of accommodating
the largest fleet of merchantmen.
The one thing needed is a greater
depth OF water. Congress should be
appealed to for the money necessary
to accomplish this work at Horn
Island. The necessary official steps
have already been taken, and only
concerted action among those most
interested is essential to bring this
great commercial movement to Il head,
Statistics corroborating our claims
to commercial greatness and congress
sional aid have been furnished to
Congress, and favorable action cannot
long be delayed. Southern Mississippi
will spring to the front at an amazing
rate, and receive recognition the coun-
try over for the uncqualc1 advantages
Of export and import.

CHRISTMAS GREETING.

The time has once more come upOT
us when il is customary for the editor
OF a well-cOnducted paper to greet hi,
subscribers and friends with the com
plimontS OF the season. What is the
meaning Of the Christmas tide? This
seems to be an idle question, and the
answer thereto appears TO be super
tiuOuS, yet how few people there are
who grasp the idea in its magnitude
and answer the question correctly.
Eighteen hundred and ninety-six

bic One whose name grows with time,
and before whom all other names are

what the individual views Of any
man living or dead, are or might have
been on the subject Of ChriSt'S birth,
