Hogs-Receipts. 5000: shipments, 5000. On
account of the continued liberal receipts of
hogs the market opened quiet. and in SYM
pathy with lower prices elsewhere the bid
ding was decidedly lower. Statesmen seemed
willing to make reasonable concessions, but
it. took some time to establish a trading
basis. Finally, however, at 5d1Oc lower
prices than yesterday. packers and shippers
were very free buyers and the offerings
changed hands promptly. BY some the last
sales were considered strong compared with
the opening, but there was no quotable i'm

receipts Of sheep and lambs were better
than heretofore this week, but the quality
was not very satisfactory and there were
none good enough to test the market for
extreme prices. There was rather an indif-
ferent demand from all sources, but finally
statesmen succeeded in transferring their
c-onsignments at quotably steady prices
compared with the way equal kinds sold
heretofore this week. Order men were the

100000 but the route proposed Is pro"
nounced practical by competent engl-
neers and the expense is not a serious
obstacle at a time when undertakings
of enormous magnitude are foated
every day. The route proposed IS
through the present Sault Ste. Marie
canal to Lake Huron; through the river
to Lake Erie; around Niagara, either
by the Weland canal, greatly deepen
ed, or through an American canal on
this side. From Lake ontario two
routes have been proposed to New YORK
One is known as the OsWego- Mohawk
route and the other as the Champaign
st. Lawrence route. The former would
go from Oswego to- Troy by the Mo-
hawk valley, passing through Syracuse,
Rome and Utica, and would obliterate
the Erie canal. The other would run
from Lake Frances, an arm of the 81.
Lawrence river into Lake Champlaln
by way of the Richelieu river, and from
Ticonderoga to Troy, by means of much
dredging of the southern end of Lake
Champlain and by canal. Either route
involves a considerable deepening of the
Hudson below Troy until depth Of
thirty feet is reached.

EFFICIENT WOJIEN.

Some women in Jersey City have done
what they could and may do more. The
streets of Jersey City were carelessly
and imperfectly cleaned. Members of
the Woman's club began last spring to
make themselves amateur inspectors.
The STRENGTHENING contract is let for
$4,000 to Henry Burns, who employs
Italians to do the sweeping. When the
women went out, either walking or
driving, they made it rule to watch
the sweepers. If they saw one of them
idling, or doing his work carelessly,
they would step and speak to him, and
if this did no good would go to the in
spector, and in case of failure there,
to the contractor. AS the women were
persistent, the sweepers began to form
habit of working whenever there was
woman near at hand, and as there
are good many women on the streets
was established before they knew it.
The inspectors are said to be astonished
at the quantity and quality of the
work done, and all agree that the streets
are in better condition than ever be-
fore.
But this isn't ALL One of commit
tee of the efficient women went to the
board Of finance the other day to sug
gest certain Improvements in the work.
Speaking for the others, she said they
represented large taxable values, and
wished to have larger appropriation
made for street cleaning and to have
the system developed somewhat on the
lines established by Colonel Waring in
New York She also suggested that
even if no more money were granted
better results could be obtained by a
different regulation of expenditure.
Then one of the commissioners sug-
gested that the women themselves put
went on to explain that he was quite
in earnest and thought they could get
the contract if they would take it. The
women are seriously considering the
matter, and we may soon see something
in Jersey City that will be worth see

TILE BILLIONS IN III.

What shall we gain commercially by
the conquest of Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines? According to the
carefully prepared estimates of the Brit
ish consul at Barcelona, who is in an
advantageous position for the ascertain
ment of the actual facts in regard to
Spanish colonial trade, the three depen-
denotes afforded a market for over $40,-
900, 900 worth of Spanish goods per an
num- About three-fourths of this
amount was in manufactured goods,
and considerably more than one-half of
this market was that of Cuba alone. Ac-
cording to the British consuls state
ment Just received at Washington the
exports of Spain to Cuba in 1896 amount
ed to 1874, 461,675 pesetas; to Porto Rico.
81, $3.50, 800 pesetas, and to the Philippines,
3S,357, 757, making total of 210 O96, GAS,
figuring the value of the peseta at 20
cents. The featu of this showing that
is of greatest interest to Americans is
the fact, as shown by Consul Roberts,
that of the 210,48O,241 pesetas' value of
goods sold by Spain to the three colonies
in 1896 the value of 500, 962 was man.
ufactured goods, 63,322,624 pesetas pro-
visions and only 1146,655 pesetas raw
materials. 1t is also estimated that a
total of 100000 pesetas was paid per
annum in freight and passage money to
the steamship companies for the carry
ing trade to and from the colonies.
40,000,000 worth of goods we are not as
smart as we are cracked up to be.

THE ERIE CANAL.

Ex-Mayor Hewitt of New York urges
the abandonment of the Erie canal on
the ground that it wont pay to spend
any more money on it. The relations of
the railroads of New York to those of
Canada on the one side and Pennsyl-
vania and Maryland on the other, Mr.
Hewitt thinks, assure the permanence
of low rates-rates lower, at any rate,
than any canal, even if free of tolls,
can protitably meet There is, there
fore, no longer any rational ground for
the expensive maintenance of the Erie
canal as through line To enlarge it
enough to make it really serviceable
mates, fully $15,OOO,0O0, all of which, in
view of the facts cited, would be prac-
tically money thrown away. 1t may be
prudent, in Mr. Hewitt's opinion, to
wait several years, so as to be assured
of the permanence of the present low
railroad rates, but at the end of that
time it will, he thinks, probably be nee
essary to sell the canal and its appur-
tenances for what they will bring.
This is good argument, and there is
also another powerful reason for not
spending any more of the taxpayers
money ON the Erie canal. The Deep
Water commission, which is to meet
soon at Sault Ste. Marie, is committed
to the proposition of a deep water canal,
one permitting thirty feet draft, from
the Great Lakes to New York The
plan involves the expenditure of $780,

While the bolero is not SO generally
worn as it was when it was last stylish
and then, it will be remembered, 1t ap-
appeared on all sorts of suits, it Is de-
sirable as it ever was If only 1t is OF the
right sort. The desirable kind is one
that is distinctive, not only when COM
pared to the full crop of few seasons
ago, but with those that are now worn.
That's not the easiest order to fill, but
it was supplied in the garment of this

Duck belts of different widths that

great comfort for the summer. Such
belt may have a little tag sewed on the
under side at just the right place to
fasten securely with safety pin to the
skirt. They can be made tight or loose
at an instant's notice, and they always
look fresh which is more than can be
said Of the popular white leather belt.
The belt of braided strips of leather
again appears 1t has the advantage or
being flexible and so wears longer than
do the more solid sorts. Besides, the
INDISPENSABLE hooks so difficult to fasten
to the under side Of the usual belt are
easily attached to the braided kind.
Ribbon belts, narrowed sharply either
at the front, the back or the sides, are
much worn, and their width is lessened
at precisely that portion of the waist

The work Of tearing down the old
home of the Department Of Justice at
Washington is proceeding slowly, for it
has been discovered that the construc-
ton of the building, which is about
thirty-five years old was SO faulty that
the greatest care must be taken to pre-
vent serious accident. The usual pro-
cess of throwing" the walls has not
been used One experiment of that kind
was tried, but the results were so serious
that the building is now being taken
down brick by brick. The chief trou-
BILE lies with the mortar, which is prac-
tically without adhesiveness. During
the thirty-five years since the construc-
ton of the building the mortar should
have become almost as hard as iron,
hit It crumbles in the hand and can be
crushed to a fine powder between the
fingers. This is said to indicate that
the only constituents of the mortar We're
lime and sand, and that very poor
quality of those materials was used.
porsons who have viewed the materials
&c thew are being taken away are con-
x,;noed that the building was vacated
none too soon.

F. A. Sales, of Providence, has just
been sued for the possession Of what is
said to be the oldest bell in the country.
Originally convent bell In Amsterdam,
it was captured and used by the Brit
ish navy as ships bell until August
10, 1872, when the Guerrero lowered her
colors to the Constitution. After knock
ing around for decades with other cap
tured naval stores this old bell was sold
in New Orleans for junk, The late s.
A. Smith, an ardent antiquarian, bought
it, and took it to Rhode Island. This
bell Is of a dull greenish bronze color,
about eighteen inches around it's mouth,
and about fifteen inches high, with a
projecting crown. 1t is made of very
thick metal compared with modern bells
of the same dimensions. 1t is possible
that this thickness of the metal is the
cause of it's remarkable softness of
tone.

STEEL WILL GO UP.
Large Orders for Rails Will Consume
Sixth of Product.

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 25.-The Ameri-
can Manufacturer, in its issue tomor-
row, will say: 1T is understood that
the mills making steel rails combined
and notified the railroad interests of
the country that prices would be ad-
vanced and that the railroads could
cover all their wants at $35 per ton.
Nearly every railroad in the country
came in with orders and an aggregate
of 1900 tons of rails were ordered at
the above price for delivery in 1900. The
price was then raised by rail-makers
as follows: For standard sections, in
lots from 100 to 200 tons, s37; carload
lots $3S and less than carload lots $40
Light rails from % to 50 pounds per
yard $37 per ton. All the prices quoted
were f. o. b. Pittsburg mills.
THE Importance of this can scarcely
be realized. The total sales aggregate
about $50 000,0 00 This means that
about one-sixth of the total steel out
put for 1900 will be consumed in the
manufacture of rails. This does not in
clude the orders placed by the Russian
government sometime ago together
with other orders, which will make the
aggregate tonnage in rails next yeal
much more than has already been or
dered. This fixes it beyond all perad-
venture that prices of steel for 1900 will
be considerably higher than prevailing
figures"
