ENAMELLED WARE.

A MEDICAL AUTHORITY POINTS OUT THE DAN
GERS FROM COOKING IN INFERIOR UTENSILS.
The present generation OF housewives are more
than blessed with kitchen accessories which
make the work a real pleasure The primitive
open fires, with cranes and pots and Kettles
gave way to the crude wood stove which IN
turn saw itself supplanted by the coal stove
Now gas and electricity are the most modern
and satisfactory means OF cooking. In Keeping
with this evolution has been the perfection of
the numerous utensils used in the realm oil
cooking In the old days ncessant care and
great labor were necessary to keep the pots
and pans from rusting. II they not alb
solutely clean the food would become discol-
ored in the process Of cooking. In 1877 the
genius of man invented enamelled ware. which
has proved to be vertable blessing. 1t has
lifted a care from women's shoulders and les
sened the annual expense of every household
Not only is enameed ware cleaned with much
less work and care. but ii has been found to
be far more durable than the old ironware Ii
was in New-York that the new ware was
perfected, although its originator was born In
Switzerland. This man. whose name Is Florine
Grosjean, came to America and made his home
i'm this city. He was of a mechanical turn OF
mind, and found great delight in invention.
Enamelled ware was his greatest success. The
process patented. and for number OF
years he controlled the business. But the pat
ents several years ago. and now there
are many firms who have gone into making
this kind Of ware. The amount Of capital in
vested in the various plants is estimated at
81 600 900 aad there are employed from LOO
to 1000 hands The number Of articles which
may be treated by the process includes not only
culinary utensils, steel sinks and milkcans, but
bathtubs as we'll The largest and most i'm
portant factory of enameed ware is located
within the limits Of New-York City, and the
greater part of the total annual output from all
factories is handled from this city as a centre.
large export trade has been developed in
enamelled ware and 1t is estimated that the
foreign trade amounts. on an average. to more
than" 100000 a year. With competition. the
price Of enamelled ware has fallen considerably.

c. III. Brace. Among other things. DR.. Brace
says:

large quantities in such utensils but the fact that
they are employed at all, and that there Is always
danger that an inexperienced workman in the

usual quantity, that unequal distribution OF
the same may occur, should AFFORD food for thought
to every prudent housewife. We have made criti-

Among the many Industries which add to the
commercial status Of Greater New-York must
be mentioned the traffic in coal. Although the
points Of production are many miles inland,
this is the chief port Of shipment. The exports
of coal both anthracite and bituminoYs, and
coke for the year 1893 will be about OOo.-
OOO the greater part Of which is handled In the
port OF New York 1t has been estimated By
an authority on the subject that the annual
sales of coal in and around New-York amount
to u 900 900 tons To these figures must be
added the 100000 tons consumed in the Bor-
ough of Manhattan and about 100000 tons
taken by Brooklyn and Jersey City. Canada,
Mexico and the West Indies receive the bulk Of
the export coal OF the G,0O0,OO0 tons of coal
annually consumed by Canada the United
State furnished fully one-half. On the estk
mated total Of tons Of coal handled at this port
which Is in the neighborhOod Of %, 10000 at

Receivers Appointed.

Justice Cole today appointed Messrs. Z.
B. Hay and C. H. Armes receivers for the
General Construction Company, Thomas
Girvan and William NJ. Quicker being the
general officers. The application, which
has been pending for about two weeks was
made by Mr.. Nathaniel Mckay, who en-
tered with the defendants into contracts
with the government to furnish a number
of portable hospitals of the Quicker patent.
Mr.. Mckay was to furnish the money for
carrying on the work and was to receive
one-third of the resultant profits. The
parties of the firm have had a misunder-
standing.
Under the order of the court the receivers
have full power and authority to prosecute
to close the business arrangements eX-

tracts with the departments of the govern
ment in the name of the General Con-

GOVERNMENT FINANCES.
Statement by Assistant Secretary
Howell of the Treasury.

Assistant Secretary Howell has made
public the following statement in regard to
the receipts ard disbursements of the gov
eminent during the last fiscal year:
The receipts. including Pacific railroad
Items. were $405321 .S35; expenditures, in
Gliding Pacific railroad items, si43, SOS. $50;
leaving deficit OF $3S.047. PAT.
IF We exclude the receipts from Pacific
railroads, amounting TO $64. 751, 223. nd the
Expenditures on this account of S45Ig36S
the account would stand as follows: Re
ccipts. $4O5T0. Ill; expenditures, s43s. s19 =
PA. leaving a deficit of SOS. 249 103
This large deficit is accounted for in
part by the extraordinary demands upon
the treasury to carry on the war A con-
sentative estimate of the war expenditure,
during the months of March, April. Nav
ard June is s56Ooo.O0O. If We deduct this
frcm the SOS 249, 1O3 the deficit would he
S42. 249, 103. In other words, the deficit
woUld not have exceeded this amount on a
peace basis. At the end of the first seven
months of the fiscal year the deficit was
81 .90l .S23- Deduct from this 81, 2i9 Ia8 and
We find that the deficit has, been reduced
during the last five months of the fiscal
year $9,G52, 7l9. 1t thus appears that DUR
ms the last five months of the year our
receipts exceeded our expenditures on a
peace basis over nine and a half millions
or, TO express II in another way the tariff
law of 1897 produced during the last five
months OF the fiscal year a revenue which
exceeded our ordinary expenditures by over
nine millions of dollars"
