FLOUR IN BRAZIL.
American Market in That Country Il
Destroyed.

American Consul George A. Cham
the following report on the American
flour market in Brazil
The former large sales of American
flour to Brazil were long since de-
stroyed. Many people think that Ar
gentine flour was the only agent in
the expulsion of American flour
from Brazil, but the truth is that the
English owners of flour mills here
are the reapers of the greatest prof
its resulting from this expulsion.
Not many years ago fine fleet of
American clippers was engaged in
carrying big cargoes of flour from
Baltimore to this port Now it comes
here with an occasional scrap cargo
of coal, lumber, or rosin. carried at
ruinous rates. 1t is true that the rise
of the Argentine wheat industry made
the downfall of the fleet certain, but
1t is also true that while American
flour has already become rare in the
Brazilian market the English capi-
talist is already reaping the rich re-
turns that the new situation offers
What we are losing, or rather have
lost, in the trade is being fully picked
up by the English factories establish

with equanimity or. 20 per cent prof
its on money invested.
/ Considering the advantages con-
ceded to these mills, II is rather re-
markable that dividends have not at
tanned a far higher figure. They
have an advantage over Rio Plata
flour OF 35 cents clear on every bar
rel in the mere items of duties; and
over American flour this IS cents
plus SO cents. the difference in freight
rates between Baltimore and Rio and
Buenos Ayres> and Rio. That is, since
they buy all their wheat in Argentina
| they have In these two items alone Q
clear advantage over American floul
of IS cents on the barrel. During
the first six months of 1904 there wa,

States was $1,000 barrels. an

The report that Nick Taitinger,
who removed from near Athena to
Alberta a year ago, had been lost and
perished in a blizzard in Canada,
proves to be unfounded Frank Mar
tin, who has just returned from AL
berta, has heard from Mr.. Taitinger
since the blizzard was reported to
have swept over the country, and
Henry Wright, of Athena, a brother
in-law of Mr.. Taitinger, has also
heard from him recently. g. W.
Rigby received a letter from Taitin-
ger written on December 20, in which
he said the weather was mild, al
though it has been as low as 20 below
zero, but had moderated and was on
that date so above zero.

For tnls company it has been necessary to pro vide no fewer than 400 defferent cos tunes the background for which IS succession of settings, elabarote beyond the dreams of the advertising agent or a decade back. In them MT. Shubert is said to have surpassed the English production of 'The Earl and the Girl, '' which still creates comment at the Gaiety theater in London, wheare It IS in its second year. The piece is the work of Seymour Hicks, Percy Green back and Ivan Caryll who supply both the British and American stage with a number of eceedingly successful offer ingc. The plot of "The Earl and the GirP' concerns the adventures of the Earl of Stole. who averts disaster by engaging an animal trainer, Jim Cheese, to impersonate him. The result of this engagement is that all of the Earfs old troubles fall to the lot of Jim Cheese, who evens matters up nicely by creating lot of fresh ones for his honorable boss.

 Rockville, Conn, May 5. Frank Sher- rie, the mill hand who was convicted in the superior court yesterday of first degree murder for killing Mrs. Joseph Kulas of Soinersville, keeper of a board- ing house. where he once lived, was to- day sentenced to be hanged at Weth- ersfield on October 31. 1905. Sentence was passed after Judge Robinson had dismissed a motion for a new trial made by counsel for the prisoner. This motion was based on the allegation that the verdict was against the weight ot evidence and that the action of a juror in taking notes of the testimony and using it in the jury room vitiated the verdict. The prosecuting attorney Charles Phelps. entered a demurrer tc the motion and this demurrer was slls, i tained by the court. It is said to bt i the first time in Connecticut that tht question of a jurors taking notes has be raised. The prisoner received the sentence l which was repeated to him by an inter. preter, with entire indifference. Hi: counsel, w. R.
