TRADE WITH CUBA.
Significant Report From the Depart
ment OF Agriculture.

WASHINGTON. June ia significant
report on our trade with Cuba from 1857
to 1897. prepared by Chief Hitchcock of
the foreign markets section OF the agricul-
tural department. has been promulgated
by Secretary of Agriculture Wilson. The
statistics show very clearly the effect Of
present host.lities in Cuba upon the COM
meCial intercourse Of the United States
with that island.
During the last fiscal year. 1896 the total
value OF our Cuban trade amounted to
only s47,54S.6I0 as compared with $10e sea-
2D4 in 1898. the year preceding the breaking
out o! the war. This was falling of OF
more than 50 per cent. in three years.
Returns already available for the cur
rent fiscal year indicate still further de-
cline the records for the nine months end
ing March 81, 1881. placing the total value
of the trade for the period as low as $14,-
9oS,sl7. AT this rate the figures sor the
fiscal year 1898 will hardly reach 500 0oo. 600
or less than one-fifth of the value recorded
in 1893
The report also demonstrates that in
past years our imports from Cuba have
generally been much in excess of our ex-
ports 10 that island. the balance of trade
being decidedly against the United States.

1t seems from the reading of the
Journal that the Ladies' Aid society
of Syracuse had prepared a donation
surprise party for their pastor, and
had set the time for Monday evening.
In order to carry out the surprise part
of the programme the Rev. gentleman
and wife were invited out to tea At
ter their departure about twenty
members of the society and their
friends were admitted to the house,
the lights turned on and they were
having just jolly time awaiting the
surprise, and they had it. Instead of
welcome when the pastor returned,
they received blessing in the way OF
being told they were intruderS and
their presence most unwelcome. Then
''sich a gittin' down stairs you never
did see." and soon the preacher, his
wife and banquet board deserted
alone remained.
