but the prospects for 1897 are equally
satisfactory. The work on hand rep
resents about 10000 gross register
tens. Compared with last year this
shows an increase of $4,000 tons. The
marine engineering trade is also well
represented in 336,00O-horse power, or
10000 over that of the previous wear.
: The government orders include one
line of battle ship, two 1irst-class cruis-

The question of profit in celery grow
ing is a disputed one, and like straw
berry farming there are stories current
of farmers making 5000 per acre, while
others claim that If they make $50 per
acre they are doing we'll. At Green
town, o.. where the largest celery farm
under the control of one man is To-
Gated, the profits are said to average
between 5000 and $400 per acre. There
are nearly 100 acres planted with
celery on that farm, and If the
figures are correct the owner has every
reason to believe that farming does
ray. Like the Kalamazoo celery lands,
the soil Of Greentown, o.. is exceeding.
~ rich and well adapted to the culture
of the celery plant. But even so, cheap
labor must be employed to make the
farm pay anything like $500 or $400 per
acre. Here In Kalamazoo, the grow
ers believe that $10o and 5000 per acre
is good profit, and man with ten
acres OF soil need not suffer Ercatly
with such an income. Six years ago the
same land could have made profits OF
$500 per acre, but then the growers
were receiving just twice as much for
their celery as they are to.duy-N. y.

Concerning the Price of
Candies at Days
During the Christmas Season.

It is always our custom to reduce
the price greatly, because everybody
suddenly becomes patrons for
pounds, or many pounds, instead of
a few ounces as is the custom of the
regular patrons of the confectioner
shop during the year. these pat
rons we hold without difficulty at
Christmas time, because they be-
come connoisseurs, aud buy with
reference to quality and taste, they
discover for themselves the differ
ence in grade, for every popular
CONNECTION is made in very many
grades, and sold in different parts OF
the country according to the de
mand as to quality and price.
In recent years the outlying coun-
try Sunday Schools have been sup
piled in many cases by the whole
sale grocer drummer, who invari
ably sends the cheapest grades be-
cause they afford the largest per
centage of profit to the seller, as is
always the case with cheap goods
Of any kind.
At one time before the Worster
street raid, French candies were
sought after. But at present in
this vicinity every Sunday School.
