A Failing OF In TIE Crop In Asiasie

A Failing or In the Crop In Asiasic
The importations from Asiatic Turkey
OF figs into the American market aver
age from 5000. 900 to 10. 000. 900 pounds a
yea They exceeded the latter quanti-
ty by 200. 900 pounds In 1896. when the
value Of Asiatic Turkish ngs imported
into this market was $500. 900. Occasion
abroad the volume of importations falls
on greatly. and such appears to be the
case this year. when there II q corre-
spending increase in price.
Figs are the chief article imported In
to the United States from Asiatic Tur-
key with the exception of licorfce. u
there come also q considerable amount
of wool. some opium. several million
pounds of raisins and some Turkish to-
bacco of q lind highly esteemed by
some smokers. The gross value of Ash
attic Turkish importations into the
United States varies from 81. % 1000 to
50. 500. 900 a year.. The American expor-
tations to Turkey are insignificant in
chiefly OF cotton goods and spirits. but
neither in large quantities.
The importations of this country In
1897 of figs from Turkey amounted to
5000. 900 pounds. n for the fiscal year
ending July I, 1898. they were $3.50. 900.
This year the shortage in what are
known as Smyrna figs il not a matter
of any serious dispute. for the receipts
to October I In New York city last year
were $500 cases and $500 bags. while
so far in 1898 the arrivals have amount
ed to only 662 cases and 351 bags. these
light receipts being taken as conclusive
evidence OF the shortage of the Turkish
crop. The quality Of a considerable
quantity Of the figs so far received has
haan fnfoVf0r hint moth Uyifh sta ndino
this. in consequence of the shortage
prices have increased. The failure OF
the Turkish supply has led already to
a larger market for other figs. particu-
larry those OF California. The average
yearly product OF California figs
amounts to IL. 900. 900 pounds. or about
20 per cent. more than the total Ameri-
can importations from Asiatic Turkey
in the years OF largest supply. but Cal
ifornia figs are regarded in the trade
as being, as yet. inferior to the import
ed article. which results from climatic
conditions on the Pacific coast not yet
entirely overcome. Then freight rates
between New York and Turkey on
slow-going italian steamers are not
heavy. whereas railroad charges on figs
brought East by cars are considerable
The American market for figs is chiefly
in and about the city of New York and
in Eastern cities generally. and the dis
advantage of California competition is.
therefore. evident.
There are other countries which sup
ply part OF the American trade in figs.
and Portugal and Greece especially are
taking advantage OF the short crop In
Turkey and pressing their wares on the
American markets. Portuguese and
Greek figs. though esteemed less highly
than those shipped from Asiatic Tur-
key. have many advantages and In a
year of a shor Turkish crop are ac-
cepted as fair substitutes.

men to the legislature who would vote
for a free coinage senator.
In Conclusion Mr.. Campbell said hat
he was astonished tina a nation which
had not asked the consent or the Coop
eration OF any other country in the con-
duct of q great war felt that II must
look to other nations for q financial
policy. He did not believe that the
people Of Montana felt hat way. and
when the vote was counted this fan IL
would be found that they had rolled
up a mighty majority for silver.
The speech was frequently interrupt
ed by applause. and the audience cheer
ed at its close After q selection by
the band Chairman Gormley introduced
Judge Mcconnell. The latter said he
had been q democrat since the day Of
jackson. q man who had enough back
bone to furnish . dozen Presidents. Be
fore proceeding far he would like to
say something about his friend Camp
bell. He was. although a silver man.
as rood a. gold and as modest as q
woman. Since his nomination the re-
publicans had been looking up his rec
ord and they had discovered a mares
nest. They had discovered he had
voted against the union label on state
printing. Such q bill favoring a class
was unconstitutional and Mr.. Camp
bell, m a good lawyer. had been op-
posed to Il. The republicans had not
discovered h q Mr.. Campbell had
worked and voted for the bill limiting
to eight hours per day the labor Of sta
tionary engineers. men on whose cool
ness and vigor depended the lives of
many others. The speaker then fol-
lowed up the record OF Mr.. Campbell
In the last legislature and showed that
he had nothing for which he should
apologize. The Judge then compli-
mented Mr.. Marshall on his personal
qualities and dismissed him with the
remark that he was out of his crowd.
and had made a mistake in choosing
his friends.
Mr.. Carter was a successful man.
They had been law partners once n
he knew Carter and he knew he was
a smart man. Why. up I'm Teton
~ he had said to his audience: What
hoes this silver question amount TO
in comparison with the great wool In
dustry?' Did he say that up in Belt,
the next evening? Not much; he was
too smart for that. And Carter was
a sample of the republicans. the party
which had left James O.. Blaine far be-
hind. They have seeded from their
principles. They are the seceders, and
not such men as Teller and Towne.
The gold standard was destroying the
middle class of citizens. leaving but
two classes. the extremely rich n the
extremely poor. And the tarin had
had much 10 do along this line. The
Judge reviewed the history Of the dem
ocratic party at length and closed with
a fervent exhortation to the audience To
support the only party In favor OF
free coinage and opposed TO trusts n
money combines.

MOSQUITO KILLER or MEXICO.
New Oficial of n Mexican Railway VIII
VIII Exterminate the Insect.

New Oncial of n Mexican Railway who
viii Exterminate the Insect
From the Venezuelan Herald.
The Mexican Central Railway company
is engaged In a new experiment, which. IL
IL is all that Is claimed for Il, will be OF
inestimable value to the residents of this
city. To show how earnest they are In
the natter. they nave created a new Of
fice-that OF the mosquito commissioner
and the portfolio was awarded to Captain
George c. Sperry, superintendent of tele-
graphs for the company.
Experiments in different parts of the
United States. and in New Jersey in par
~ticular, have demonstrated the fact that
the determination OF the mosquito can be
accomplished.
An exchange, in discussing the matter,
said:
Scientific investigation has disclosed
the fact that a few grains Of permanga-
nate OF potash will destroy all the en-
bryo mosquitoes In a very large area OF
mosquito swamp. At 2 cents an acre all
the mosquitoes can be killed OF for a
space OF 20 days. n as the breeding time
is but two months, 4 cents will assure pro-
lection for the entire year. This places It
within the possibility of a state. and GER
tainly a city. to rid itself of a great nui-
sance."
April and May are the two months in
which mosquitoes breed. They are purely
local in their habits. and not migratory.
as some suppose. and they seldom move
more than 100 feet from the pace Of their
birth. Hence, to exterminate the breed in
a certain locality would rid that locality
of the pest for that season at least. and
the method of determination is so mex
pensive that an entire community may
be rid of them at a very small expense.
