Trade Of the Canary Islands

The commercial movement of the Canaries
has progressed in the last ten years at the
rate of from f80,000 to f120,O00 year, says
the Journal of the Society of Arts. From
f72OO0 in 1888, imports rose to fl,720, 900
In these totals, however, the importation Of
coal is included; without coal the total in
1895 was 100000. The economic develop.
ment of the Canaries depends solely on the
number of boats stopping at the ports,
which promotes larger importation of
coal and a more extended sale of meat, poul
try, vegetables, fruit, wines, etc. The ex.
portation of early fruits and vegetables has
been of importance in the last six years
Cochineal formed at one time the sole
wealth of the Canaries. In 1889 its exporta-
tions amounted to f800,OOO: since that time
the quantity has greatly diminished The
early fruits and vegetables from the Cana
ries are sent almost entirely to London and
Liverpool. Tomatoes are exported in boxes
OF different sizes. As regards cultivation,
the seeds are imported from England, sown
in the months of August and September,
and transplanted a month later into we'll
irrigated land. About $500 plants can be
put in fanagada, or l% acres. The potato
crop is ready in December or January. Many
landowners plant a second crop, which is
ready for market in March or April. From
October to May two harvests can always be
counted on, whatever may be the product
cultivated. Both potatoes and tomatoes are
remunerative, but the banana, when it is
cf good quality, gives the greatest profit.

November Bank Clearings

Swelled by heavy speculative transactions
at New York, large settlements on account
of former business and undeniably good
trade throughout most sections of the coun-
try, November bank clearings, as foreshad-
owed by earlier reports to Bradstreet's, ag-
gregate the largest monthly total on record,
amounting, as they do, to SO, ,452, ,060, 1864
per cent larger than those of October, 8 per
cent in excess of January, 1893, the heaviest
previous total; 20 per cent larger than in
November one year ago; Al per cent in ex-
cess OF those of November, 1896; 55 per cent
larger than in 1894, and 1874 per cent heav-
Ter than In the corresponding month of the
'boom" year, 1892. 1t is not entirely for
their large volume that the clearings re-
ported this month are altogether notable.
Swelled by the heavy aggregate for Novem-
ber, the total clearings for the eleven
months period amount to $61, 1851, ,976, ,35t
1913 per cent larger than those of the cor.
responding period of 1897, SO per cent in ex-
cess OF those of 1896, 40 per cent ahead of
those of 1904, 10 per cent larger than those
OF 1882, and an aggregate for the eleven
monthly period of only $3.50 OOO, 900 smaller
than the total clearings for the entire wear
1892, which, being the largest previous year
ly total on record, has furnished land
mark or guide by which to reckon gains or
losses in the past. From the above statis-
tics it will undoubtedly become evident that
the year 1893 will hereafter furnish the basis
for high'water mark comparisons in banl,
clearings.

REDoNDo RIPPLES
A Head-End Collision at Inglewood
Hotels Winter Season

REDONDO, Dec. S-News has Just been
received, after several days delay, of head
end collision of two freight trains on the
Santa Fe road near Inglewood, which oc.
Cured last Saturday.
The two trains came together while run
ming at great speed, and both engines were
wrecked. No lives were lost, and what Is
more marvellous, none of the train hands
were injured. Traffic on that part of the
road was delayed about six hours. The col
lision is said to have been the fault of the
officer in charge of the extra freight Going
toward Los Angeles.
Those who go down to the sea in ships
and anglers on the wharves are all enjoying

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-Quotations in the

without sentimental effect. Reports of i'm

INTO law or the an,i-scalping bill were sub
Jects OF discussion, and acted as tonic on
the railways. Moreover. important inter-
ests were openly buying properties with
which they are identified, large offerings
being readily absorbed, and the market
weakened materially. In the later dealings

and he ruled that the special tax must be
paid and the stamp tax taken out and post

transactions in stocks are carried on, and 1t

An owner of an American vessel lying in
New York harbor recently requested an in
surance broker to place certain amount OF
insurance on his vessel on the best terms he
could obtain. Application was made to an
English insurance company having no
agents in the United States, and the policy
was issued. Then the question arose as to
whether the policy was liable to taxation
under the statute of June l3, 1898 The ques-
tion was submitted to the internal revenue
commissioner, who has just held that the
policy is subject to tax. 70 hold otherwise,
he says, would be to declare that congress
intended to discriminate against our citi-
zens carrying on insurance business and for
their foreign competitors possession of the
field. In the absence of any established
agency, the broker or agent through whom
such foreign companies are enabled to issue
insurance to residents of this country will
in all such cases be regarded as the agent Of
the company, even where such agencies are
involuntarily assumed and without compen-
sation.
A firm in New York city recently made in
quiry of the commissioner internal rev.
enue as to the tax imposed upon a draft
drawn payable to themselves four months
after date and sent to the person upon
whom it is drawn to be accepted. Commits
sioner Scott has ruled that when the instrr-
ment is drawn ii is subject to a stamp tax
of 9 cents per $780, or fraction thereof, and
must be paid at the time by the person who
draws the instrument. However, if an or
der for the payment is embodied in the ac-
ceptance, G., il certain bank is ordered to
pay and charge to the account of the accept
or, or if any other order of like nature is
made, then it is subject to an additional tax
of cents.
The commissioner of internal revenue
holds, in accordance with the advice of the
attorney general, that receipt given to a
bank by person to whom the bank is in
debted as a depositor or otherwise, OF for
whom it holds funds, is not more subject to
stamp than receipt given for any other
debt or demand. The purpose of the law is
to require stamps upon checks, which are
commercial, negotiable instruments. A
check, however, is not required to be of any
particular form. If it is in form sufficient
to constitute an order for the payment of
money, and assumes the character of
commercial, negotiable instrument, then it
is subject to the tax.
