JAP LABORERS IN PERU.
OF BROWN MEN TO
THE REPUBLIC.
Made for Reciprocal
Trade Relations and the Shipment
of Japanese to South America.

The Nomiuri, Jaanese paper, writes
strongly in favor of japanese emigra-
tion to Peru and the opening up of
trade with that country. Peru is
practically disarmed and peaceful
republic in South America, says the
Yomiuri, having only 5000 sol
diers on land, and gunboat on sea
to provide against pirates.
When Mr.. Tanaka, of the Moriol<a
Emigration Company, visited Peru a
year ago he was heartily received by
the president of the republic, and by
his introduction Mr. Tanaka delivered
a speech at a meeting of the agricul-
tural society. Subsequently the So
ciety passed resolution to invite ia
panese laborers into the country and
to encourage the growth of the agri-
cultural industry. \ contract was en-
tered into between the Republican
government and the Morioka Emigra-
ton Company for the employment of
japanese.
The japanese foreign office on it's
part. instructed Mr. Murota. minister
to Mexico, to investigate and report
on the prospect of Japanese emigra-
ton to Peru. \ reply from the min
lister has just been received at Tokyo,
whichS was of promising nature in
regard to the enterprise. regard to til
regard to the enterprise. Moreover,
it seems to be the intention of the
Peruvian authorities to open up trade
between Japan and Peru by import
ing to Japan cotton, sugar and kero-
sene, in vessels that have taken ia
panese emigrants to that country.
Thus another occasion is about TO be
aqorded to Japan to extend her COM
mercal interests.

RIFLING ITALIAN PALACES.

The spoilatior of Italian palaces has
become regular branch of business
with architects and decorators of to-
day y snort time since it was stat
ed that the Countess Castellane had
bought an Italian palace in Verona
for the purpose of securing eleven
ceilings decorated by the great
painter, Tiepolo, which were to be
transferred to the house being built
in Paris.
The same practice is going on all
the time, and many Italian palaces
are being rifled to enrich New York
houses. \ number of carved and
painted ceilings, doorways, mantels,
etc, have been seen sent over for the
adornment of w. c. Whitney's new
house, and many others are on their
way.
The ceilings are taken down in
sections, generally in quarters, and
the mouldings and ornaments mark
ed so they can be put in place in rhe
| same order. The Italian are VEL
| posted as to the value of their treas
ures, and considerable bargaining is
equired to secure them. Furthermore,
the woodwork torn out of these pal
aces must be reported to the Italian
| Government and duty paid for It's re-
moval, and the same as with pictuI es
painted by Old masters.
| Nor does the removal stop with the
interior decoration. Even the Itali. Z
gardens are being rifled. Shiploads of
garden sculpture in the form of ha-
lustrades, fountains, arches, statutes,
etc, are being sent over for some
/ Italian gardens being built near New
| York. On one garden alone nearly
100000 is being expended.
In Italy, where these gardens are sc
numerous, they are no longer valued
but with us they afford delight, even
though they hardly seem in keeping
with our skies. With the amount OF
money being expended on these in.
terror decorations, they are likely tc
be cared for and protected in theiI
new localities, while in Italy they are
fast going to decay from neglect TIL,

FRANCE AND ENGLAND.

At the beginning of tbs century
France had 27,OOC ol., ,. o he United
Kingdom only To- n,1oJ inhabitants
The discrepancy between them has
been diminished steadiJ, so that the
last census, in 1891, gave France 49,
$4,000, and the United Kingdom 81
1877 900 Inhabitants Frcnch iLajori-
ty of only $4,000. The vital statistics
of 1892 and 1893 showed thar in those
years the deaths in France ouInum-
bered the births by more than 1900,
while in the United Kiugdom the
births were more numerous than the
deaths by about $4,000. Since then a
change for the better has been OBJ
served in France, so that the births
now probably outnumber the deaths
by a small margin.

Grain Letter

By Private Wire to T. G. Hewlett.
 Chicago, Jan. 13.-The wheat market was adversely affected at the opening by liqui- dation operations and short selling, but there was a good inquiry for May wheat below 90. Operators identified with the movements of the bull clique being especial ly prominent in the buying. In consequence the price was soon lifted out of the rut. The reduction in prices at Liverpool was also adverse to any extensive bull move ment That market opened .5s@Hd lower, showed further loss at 1:9O p. m., and at 2.SO p. m. was 1A@11kd under yesterdays closing figures. Liberal offerings from Ar gentina was given as the principal factor affecting the English market. Arrivals at the principal northwestern points aggre-i gated S32 cars against 376 last week and PIT year ago. Chicago received only S3 cars. Domestic news was of the usual character, but it embraced comparatively few infiuen- tial factors May wheat opened off ss, starting at 90@9O1sc. The 90 mark was passed on the downward course, but imme- diately good demand sprang up and quick recovery to 90A@9Oss ensued, after which the market remained almost stationary for quite time. After noon the buying move- ment was resumed with increased vigor and an advance to 9O5s ensued, fluctuations close. Corn opened off with wheat, but became steadier on good country buying. being narrow around this price up to the Trade was quiet throughout. Receipts were 498 cars.

Cotton Letter.

New York, Jan. 1S.-After moderate fiuc- tuation the cotton market closed slightly lower today. The decline was due to free liquidation and considerable short selling by local bears. Liverpool declined one sixty-fourth this morning. This was con- sdered a fair response to the loss here yes- terday and our market opened unchanged. An excellent investment demand was pres ent throughout the day and the market at mo time showed any read weakness. One large operator sold heavily. His trading was the feature of the day. Receipts were heavy and the south was somewhat easier. May opened at 5.S1, advanced to 5.S3, de- clined to 5.79, and closed at that figure, with the tone of the market barely steady. The demand in the south is less active and we fear the market cannot be sustained.

Stock Letter

By Private Wire to T. C.. Hewlett. , New York. Jan 13.-Heavy dealings in Union Pacific fours and the new stock were again manifest. While the gradual disper- sion of knowledge as to the Oregon Short Line Union Pacific situation may have been responsible for some of the buying during the past two or three days, there is req son to believe the principal force in bring ing about the advance is the fact that the commons stock Twill shortly be quoted ex- div. The preferred stock will be distrib- uted before long, As has been explained, this takes off the price at least 8 per cent, which, according to today's prices would leave the new stock around 22. It is fig- ured that this leaves a handsome margin for operations on the long side in the near future. It is now practically assured that the Vanderbilts have secured control of the Union Pacific road, and thus, as has been predicted, through line from the Atlantic to the Pacific is established. With this end in view, higher prices for the Vanderbilts and Union Pacific seem inevitable Traders were given a tip-top opportunity to bull Chesapeake and Ohio at the opening today, in that it showed an initial gain where all other railroad shares, excepting New York
 
 hG5s in several instances. which included B. O., St. Paul, Union Pacific, Southern railroad preferred. Omaha showed the ex- treme decline of 1h. In the specialties Su- gar led in weakness, opening off 7s per cent and immediately extending it's loss 1as fur ther. Manhattan acted independent of the general market, opening up ss, with simul- taneous sales at 117 to 1171a. A further de- oli, +o advance to 11sA was enjoyed. The situation affecting the elevated is as plain as it can be. Tammany Manhattan and Metropoli- tan are hand in glove. Croker means to give Manhattan all the facilities that it needs to furnish rapid transit. Advices re- porting rioting at Havana were received, and they suggested the possibility of an American ship being sent to that port. This had some effect, but the influence of these fresh Cuban complications was not a marker to the fact that the public holds a good many stocks which it will dispose of on the first up-turn which the market should experience. While traders were not disposed to work for any decided reaction, they were not inclined to allow the outside public to gain any advantage.

 New York, Jan. 13-There was nothing in Liverpool cotton cables to influence lo- cal sentiment, futures at that point de- clining to IF points or about as expected in response to our late decline yesterday. The local market opened steady with prices unchanged to l point dn decline. Trading was moderately active but quotations changed narrowly. Spot cotton at Liver pool forced the buyer. Sales aggregated 12.0OO bales. Port receipts were regarded as full at 5000 bales but hardly as liberal as anticipated Selling in the local market was by New Orleans and Liverpool repre- sentatives and tired longs. These offer ings were absorbed by limited buying or ders and covering of timid shorts to some extent.

In w all Street.

New York, Jan. 13.-The stock market was under more or less pressure today on account of the news from Havana There was heavy realizing at times, and some aggressive attacks by the bears num- Der of large operators recently on the bull side changed their views and. sold stocks today and the impression on the market would undoubtedly have been much more serious had it not been for the remarka- bIe strength and buoyancy of several of the Vanderbilts. This strength arrested the liquidation and steadied the market and the declines afterwards in the general list were not large, even when these stocks reacted on profit-taking. The declines at the opening were checked also by the exc cution of commission house orders which had accumulated over night These were the principal causes to neutralize the un- doubtedly serious view of the situation in Havana and it's bearing on the relations be- tween the United States and Spain, which is held in Wall street. There was no news to account for the buoyancy of the Van derbilts beyond vague rumors of an intend- ed change of policy in administration look ing to the reduction of operating cost and an increase in dividends. The extreme rise in Lake Shore reached four points and tHcre WAS dS mucn Tn New 4Ork Central
 other members of the group gained all the way from one to two points. There was quite large dealing in some of the other high-priced investment stocks, Pullman ris- ing two points and Great Northern, prefer red, four points. Some part of these trans actions was probably designed to test the volume of offerings which would be invited by the advance in prices. Manhattan, Metropolitan Traction and Brooklyn Tran sit were all strong during the day, and the first and the last named gaining two points or over. Sugar was the central point of weakness in the market and liquidation in 1t was very heavy. The price was down 2hc at one time, and the bears put out short lines sof the stock on a large scale.
 This buying to cover was the effective cause of wiping out the decline The Grangers and the recent speculative fa- vorites, Union Pacific and Northern Pa cific, suffered from profit taking. l.ofdoa Bold on this market, wliethcr ~. :. w
