Great Britain's Eggs.

1t appears at first sight somewhat
strange, but it is none the less true
that England alone annually i'm
imports l,700000,000. Italy is be-
ginning to encourage egg e1porta-
ton on large scale. There is a
single establishment in Verona
which collects eggs from the whole
district and sends them to Britain
by the ten thousand, while Russian
eggs are said to be ousting Austro-
Hungarian eggs from the market.
Yet in 1896 Austria Hungary packed
off over ninety thousand tons. The
Russian Government is now devot-
ing special attention to the further
ance of the agricultural interests of
the country, and eggs are what our
tradesmen call profitable line"
For a long time we have been the
chief consumers of the Austrian egg;
now, owing to the fact that the
packing of the Russian eggs is ex-
tremely good, we are getting under
or round the Russian yolk, The
French trade still continues to sup
ply us with all sorts and conditions
of fresh and stale eggs, and with an
enormous quantity Of peultry,-The

The Good Old Days.

A correspondent writing to an Eng
fish Exchange, says: "a document
has lately come into my hands which
may not be without interest as
illustrating Purity of Election in
the year 1881, 1t is a careful-drawn-
up statement of the claims made by
the proprietor of thirty-ons inns
and publio-houses in the town of
Haverfordwest on the members of
the election committee Of the de-
fsated candidate at the country
election for Pembrokeshire OF 1881

Our Legislature shows that its
members, supposed to represent at
least minority of the people, can
not understand the difference be-
tween the duties of the Executive
aud Legislative branches of the
Government. It is impossible for
the individual members of the Legis-
lature to know the details OF the
different bureaus and departments
and to decide what amount Of clori-
cal help is needed. 1t is within the
province of the Legislature to decide
what salaries the taxpayers can
afford to pay their employees, but
there, to our mind, end stheir juris-
diction. The Chief Justice and the
Chief Clerk OF the Supreme Court
say that more clerical help is need
ed in their department. 1t is not
for the Legislature to dispute such
statement. If four clerks are
needed according to those able to
Judge in the matter, four clerks
should be appointed. II spark of
temporary economy has struck the
wise men and they honestly believe
that the country cannot afford the
additional expense, the proper step
for them is to say "you can have a
fourth clerk, but we must reduce
your salaries in proportion to meet
this extra expense" That would be
policy, to which nobody could OBJ
ject But for the Legislature to
discuss and decide what clerical help
is needed in the different depart
ments is absurd and ridiculous.

Now that the messenger service is

is frowned down by cavaliers or a
dozen others, too timid to risk the
primal tests, follow in the lead he
has given to destroy his profits.

LETTER FROM WHEELER
Urges the President to Visit Camr

Washington, August 26.-The president has received the following letter from Gen. eral Wheeler:
 Camp Wikoff, August 26 To the President of the United tSates: was very glad to hear that you would visit Montauk Point very soon. The visit of the secretary of war has accomplished more than I can express. He has made valuable suggestions and given directions regarding administration. In addition, his personal visit to 100 sick soldiers in the hospitals has cheered them up and 1t is difficult to adequately convey to you the change for the better since the secretary's visit. The announcement that you will visit the soldiers has already added to this improvement and your presence here for a single day will accomplish good, the great extent of which you can only realize after you have made your visit.

 'The declarations which were exchanged beneath the shadows of our flags in the roadstead of Sronstadt are memories so dear to us that I cannot let this anniver- sary pass without assuring your majesty again of my keen gratitude for the recep- tion you gave the president of his republic.
 "Our sentiments have undergone no change. I am to-day as I was then, a faithful interpreter of the French people in renewing to your majesty an expression of the ardent wish we entertain for your happiness, for that of the imperial family and for the grandeur of Russia"
 Emperor Nicholas replied
 "The empress and myself gre deeply touched by the sentiments you have been so good as to express on the occasion of the anniversary of your visit on board the Pothuau. We like to revert in our thoughts to those historic moments, the remem- brance of which will never fade.
 "It gives me peculiar pleasure to be able to renew at this time expression of the unchanging and unceasing good wishes we entertain for you, monsieur le president, and for France, our friend"

EINANCIAL REVIEW

New York August 26.-Bradstreee financial review tomorrow will say:
 Reactionary tendencies marked the carry part of the week, the market showing aiso a decrease of activity and falling OH oA the recent interst of the public in specuia- ton.
 A frmer tone and a renewal of the ad- vancing tendency has, however, appeared in the last two days. There has been no positive news of an unfavorable character apart from rumors that warm weather was injuring the corn crop at the west ana hardening of the money market which lat ter circumstance is partially offset by the easier tendency in rates of exchange The depression may accordingly be charged partially to the heated term partly to the temporary falling off in public interest and partly to speculative buyers realizing on their purchases. There was also renewed evidence of bearish manipulation and the sharp decline of Manhattan was generally charged to that cause. Its subsequent re- covery seemed to represent covering of a short interest in it. While a few stocks, notably Northern Pacific, were exception ally strong, the general list sagged ofr un- der realizing sales and bearish pressure.
 London while sounding prices higher has, on the whole. been seller of our stocks on balance. The bond list has been strong though it's features have been mainly cheap
 specialties like Texas Pacific second in- comes and Standard Rope and Irvine se- curities in all of which marked advances have been scored.
 Government bonds have not been active, and the demand for the older issues having been slackened fractional recessions were recorded in some cases. The new per
 cents after touching 105R. also receded to 105k on sales of allotments by subscribers for amounts up to s.000, which this week received notice of acceptance.
