n New Jersex Estimate.

The annual report of the State Road
Commissioner Of New Jersey makes
the following statement of the cost OF
hauIage on various roads, and shows
very ssconcisely where the advantages
of good surface and light grades come
in. He says:
'It costs 81 cents per bushel to
ship wheat from Chicago to New York.
a distance of 900 miles; it costs three
cents q bushel to haul wheat on level
road distance of five miles, and on q
sandy road it would cost nine cents
per mile to haul il. The saving on
bushel of wheat with good roads for
distance of five miles would be equiv
alent to that of 600 miles Of transpor-
tation by steamer or canal boat, or
375 miles by railroad. One mile OF
good roads would make asaving equal
to seventy-fve miles Of railroad trans
portation. Thus every mile of good
roads places the producer seventy-hve
miles by rail nearer to the markets. 1t
is estimated that the cost of hauling
500, 900, 900 tons of farm produce to
market is 81 per ton, or just about
81, 900, 900, 900; it is also estimated
that about sixty per cent. of this last
amount, or $500. 900, 900 would be
saved each year if farmers were able
to do this hauling over good roads. +"

MUCH OPIUM IS IMPORTED.



Tho extent to which opium smok-
ing is practised by the Chinese in this
country may be judged from the fact
that the importations of smoking
opium at San Francisco last year ag-
gregated 121. 401 pounds. The duty.
at S. pound. amounted to $72S, 400.
The drug was in the form prepared
exclusively for smoking, and not
available for any other uses. II
comes in rectangular tin boxes. not
unlike those in which pepper and
spices are put up, each containing
about half . pound. So prepared,
opium is q semi-fuid, dark brown,
sticky substance, resembling New Or
leans molasses in appearance.
Chauncey NJ. st. John, Deputy Sur
veyor of the Port, says that on the im-
ports of this sort of opium at San
francisco since January last to date
duty has been paid to the amount OF
S146,34f. This would represent "a,
500 pounds Of the drug. By the
steamship Gaelic, arriving from China
on February IS. the opium imports
amounted to 18, 1873 pounds, on which
the duty paid was $11O, OO0 Not in
Guiding this large quantity, the smok-
| ing opium now in bonded warehouses
here, on which the duty of $121, $50
has not been collected, amounts to TO-
315 pounds.
It is believed that opium smoking
has greatly decreased since the duty
was reduced from SO, the former rate,
to the present rate of SO pound.
| Formerly large quantities of smoking
opium OF an inferior quality we're made
| in Victoria, B. G., and thence snug
rlod into the United States. The re-
duction of duty, while greatly lessen
ing the profits of smuggling, left the
risk of seizure undiminished, and this
tended to discourage the Victorian In
dustry, which has practically been
abandoned.
Very little smoking opium reaches
the United States save that which
comes to San Francisco from China.
i It is all made in that country. The
drug for medicinal purposes comes. in
its crude form, from Turkey. A little
