Suez Canal.

The total receipts of the Suez canal
last year were so much in excess of
that of the previous year that the man.
agement has anpounced reduction to
take effect on the first day of next
year. The amount collected last year
from vessels passing through the canal
was $27, 1852, 900, which was 1856, 900
more than the previous year. There is
a reasonable belief that the prospective
opening of the Panama canal has had
some influence in bringing about the
promised reduction. The Kansas City
Journal.

BUYING for County.

The Sentinel understands that all
purchases for the court house to be-
be paid for by the county, and any,
thing bought in Grenada to be charged
to the county, must be approved by
the president of the board Of supervis-
ors; no purchase to be made until COM
petitive prices are secured. This ac-
tion of the board is evidently based on
statute enacted by the last legisla-
ture which requires such purchases to
be made only on competitive bids and
on three months contracts.
