TRADE ON THE JUMP.
New Steamship Line Between Para and
United States.

new steamship service has been es-
tablished between Para and the United
States. which will doubtless create COM
petition in freight rates and thus promote
trade. The new line Is a branch of the
Prince Line. and at present consists OF
four new ships of about 5000 tons cargo
capacity. They will have every modern
convenience. and will ply regularly be-
tween New York, the River Plata, and
Brazilian ports. visiting Para every
twenty-one days.
Consular Agent Sanford, at Manaos, re-
ports:
'In the first quarter of 1901, the ex-
ports of rubber from Manaos to New York
were 24601 cases. valued at s6.640,224.
In the first quarter of 1902, just ended,
there were exported to New York from
MaBaos only 15.542 cases of rubber, valued
at s3.357. 76S; the price. as well as the
quantity, being much lower.
These figures are significant, as shoy-
ing the effect on business of the financial
crisis
There is one encouraging feature in
the situation, however. and that is that
whatever money the people here are
spending for imports goes to the United
States. This is because we are selling
them their foodstuffs and actually neccssi-
ties.
"An incident commented on here last
week was the arrival from New York Of
a large ship completely loaded with a
cargo of general American goods. bound

LOCAL FISHERMEN ON

AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVES
USED IN TUNlS
Quickness With Which Baldwin Engine
Could Be Stopped Will Probably
Bring Large Orders.

st. L. A. Touhay. United States vice con-
sui at Tunis, has written the State De-
partment. under date of April Q. calling
attention TO the use of American locomo-
tives. He sa-s:
"A serious collision recently took place
on the railway line. a short distance from
1unis, between an incoming passenger
train from Aigiers and an outgoing freight
train. The investigation of the causes of
the collision developed good deal of con-
flicting testimony as TO who was in fault.
but one engineer asserted that the origin
of the whole trouble was the unmanage-
ableness OF the Baldwin locomotive at
tached TO the outgoing train. He declared
that, on observing the signals Of the in
coming train, he promptly reversed and
put down brakes, but Intellectually. owing
to the impetus gained by his engine.
In order to clear up all doubts as to
who was responsible for the collision, it
was decided to reconstitute the train in
precisely the same conditions as when the
accident occurred. One Of the most re-
Liable engineers on the road was put in
charge of the engine, and repeated expert
ments proved that the train could be easily
stopped at a distance of $50 feet from the
spot where the collision occurred. The
ease and certitude with which the huge
locomotive answered the handling was
considered nothing short of miraculous by
the authorities OF the road
''As II is probable that important rail-
way extension will be effected in Tunis in
the near future. this circumstance will
very likely be factor in opening negotia-
tions for supplies Of material from the
United States"

CHANCE FOR BREWER.
Machinery of Plant in Para Can Be
Bought Very Cheap.

Under date OF April Z. 1902, Consul X.
X. Kenneday writes the State Department
from Para:
About two years ago local company
was organized to establish and operate a
brewery in Para. large modern building
was erected and n complete outfit of first
class machinery purchased. Then came
the financial crisis and the company failed.
The machinery and plant lie on the docks
ip this city, where they were landed. and
the building stands idle. The fixtures. ma
chinery, building. and all the other hold
ings OF the company can now be pur-
chased for mere tithe Of the cost-prob-
ably 10 cents on the dollar.
A quantity of beer is consumed in Para.
and IL could be increased If the price
were made less prohibitive. am semi
officially informed that the city govern
nent OF Para is ready to place municipai
tax on Rio beer In favor Of the local prod
net il any irresponsible company VIII take
charge OF the Para brewery.

DEMAND FOR LIQUID
GLUE IN IRELAND
Good Opportunity Offered American Man
ufacturers-Supply Moderate to
the Demand.

Consul W. ". Touyelle reports to the
State Department from Belfast, April II,
1902:
From recent investigation. as well as
from inquiries that have been made at
this office. am satisfied that good op
portunity is offered American manu-
facturers for the sale Of liquid glue, and
especially of liquid fish glue. in Belfast.
The manufacture of glue in this consular
district is entirely inadequate to supply
the demand of the trade.
From the Belfast harbor commission
er's report for 1901, | find that 356 tons of
glue were imported into Belfast, all of
which came from England. Messrs. Nc
Cav, Stevenson e. Orr, Limited, of Linen
hall Works. Belfast, color printers and
publishers Of school books, are extensive
users of liquid fish glue, and are desirous
of having their firm name brought to the
attention OF manufacturers in the United

PERTINENT TO LANCASTER

Ill. B. Camden has had twenty-five
sheep killed by dogs. Here is another
instance of the necessity for stringent
dog law. There are thousands of acres
OF land in Bedford on which IT would
almost be impossible to make living "
any other way except by raising sheep;
yet the farmers who try II suffer so
much loss by prowling dogs that they
one by one desist aud give up their
fiocks.-Bedford Buletin.
We might stop to ask if our dog
law in Lancaster is stringent enough.
1t may not be irrelevant to also ask
if the law We have is being properly
carried out-are all dogs, or Il large
proportion of them even, listed for
taxation and is the tax being col
iected? 1t means much to the county.
When the worthless ours are dec
imated and all worthy dogs properly
taxed our farmers can afford to
raise sheep, than which nothing pro-
dnces better returns.

THE "NECK" pRospERs.

1t may be said, without casting re-
lection upon the citizens of any
other section, that the exceedingly
prosperous condition of the lower
counties of this Neck is not due en-
tlrely to the superior resources and
capabilities of the section of country.
but in large measure to the ambi-
tious and enterprising spirit of the
people. The people of Lancaster
and some of its neighboring counties
are always on the alert, and are
prompt to utilize every opportunity
that "bobs up." A part of their
prosperity is due to the fact that
they have already developed certain
resources which are present in other
sections and which have not been
utilized. The revenue from the fish
and oyster industry shows that the
people have outdone their neighbors
