C0COANUTS GALORE.
A Glut in One of the Principal Receiving
Ports of This Country.

The overstocked condition of the local
cocoanut market and inability to place
those now in warehouses and boats are
increasing daily. The cOngested condi-
ton of the railroads and lack of suffi-
cient cars add to the depression. At
present the Baltimore Il Ohio and Louis
vile * Nashville roads have box cars
loaded with cocoanurs that they are I'M
able to move. The new cocoanut ware
house of the latter company is filled to
its capacity and has been for the past
severed days, and to add to the misery of
importers, every steamer that arrives
brings in $4,000 or 100000.
1t is estimated that at present there
are housed and in boats in Mobile over
{, 10000 Cocoanuts, and this number was
increased Sunday by the arrival of the
schooners J. +. Ocean Flower with
10000 and the Boniform with 10000
These figures will be materially inereas-
ed within the next day or two by the
arrival of four more schooners that are
now due. The four schooners will ag-
rregate about 100000 cocoanuts and
added TO those already in port will place
the total at 100000.
Those interested in the business admit
Shat there is a terrible slump in the
price, and say that coCoanuts are lower
now than ever known, They cost at
least $3.50 per 1000 in the tropics and
bring from the shippers about SIS or $50,
while they are sold in the market at
$50. but at present they hardly realize
SOB. with a corresponding decrease in the
price to the shippers from the tropics

TURNING NEW LEAVES.

The time of year has come
When men make resolutions
That hsnceforth they will better guard
Their cash and constitutions.
Some merely make a mental vow
That they viii act more wisely,
And some make oath before the squire,
Who writes it down precisely.
Some thinking they're tobacco's slaves,
Again are new leaves turning,
And say hereafter pipes, cigars
And tobies they'll be spurning.
Then some who'Ye used a plug each day
The habit now aIe rueing;
They've settled that they'll shake the
weed,
And so they swear off chewing.
The man who has at times INDUCED
In practice known as ''booZing,"
Perceives the error of his ways.
And conscience is accusing.
He says that he no more Will go
Where glasses oft are clinking.
Hell spend his nights in better style,
And so he sweaIs off drinking.
Some vow no more they'll borrow cash
To waste in foolish spending,
And some who've frequently been touched"
Decide to stop all lending.
Some who have often stretched the truth
Are for reform declaring,
And some who long have been profane
Now stop and swear of swearing.
Some make these vows at each years end,
But brief is reformation,
For when the testing time arrives
They can't resist temptation.
But many TO their vows adhere,
Save cash and constitutions,
So cheer them on, and do not SCOT
At New Year resolutions.

The Railroad Gazette's preliminary es-
innate of the years addition to the rail-
way mileage of the United States puts it
at G026, exclusive of second tracks, sid
ings and electric lines This is small
enough compared with many years in the
past, but not small when contemplated in
connection with the fact that the United
States is better supplied with railways
than any other country in the world
With this years addition, the aggregate
mileage reaches 100000. The main
work of track extension having
been done. it is in order that in
creased facilities for transportation
should be gained by the construction of
new rolling stock. The car output for
the year has been the largest on record
16i,547, This is 25,542 in excess of the
output of last year. The locomotives
built, exclusive of those constructed in

was abandoned. There followed a
