Commercial and FltmnulM Prospect.
Chl o Ji w .
Almost tlio entire eastern press bcguis
to have serious views of the commercial
nnd financial prospects of the country , in
view of the almost virtual cessation of the
demand abroad for our grain , especially
for our wheat. When it is understood
that our wheat crop moro than doubled
between 1803 and 1870 , nnd the export
increased from about twenty million
bnahuls in 1808 to 150,500,000 bushels in
1870 , the rapidly growing importation of
the crop to the country will bo at once
perceived. Since the war wo have become -
como the great raw-material export coun
try of the world , while since tlio return
to opccio payments our exports have enor
mously increased ns compared ith our
imports. This is an indication that they
are n necessity to our commercial nnd
financial status , individually mid collectively -
ivoly , ns a people and a nation.
But whun a largo proportion of these
xports fall in value to the extent that nt
east 15 par cunt must bo struck from its
nnrkot price , the fact presents n moat
crious aspect , not only to its individual
, nd corporate interests , but to the
ountry as n whole.
As tlio Now York Times said in a late
jommcrcjal article , | 'dollar wheat" has
icon until this year in Chicago regarded
13 a safe purchase ; the market price was
considered to have reached hard-pan at
hat figure , while n decline below it was
olerably auro to start enough buying to
.end it up again. But , on the other
innd.it is no\v \ well Known in thia city
hat grain men believe the dollar-mark
nust bo aoanduncd for n figure from 15
o 20 cents bolnw it say a standard of
! 5 cents. This would nccoaitato that
inkers' advances should bo reduced to
' 0 or 75 cents to bo perfectly safo. In
deed , soiiio of the largest banking houses
engaged in making advances on grain
invo of late become quito conservative on
.ho subject , and well they may , with at
east ono leading grain bank ollicor hold-
ng to the belief that wheat may touch a
joint at least 10 cents below its present
inure , in order that it may again furnish
sterling exchange to moot our import ne
cessities , Interest duo abroad , and cost of
ocean freights.
Some of the Now York journals nro
inclined to look upon the dilliculty na re
spects thu present failure to export upon
previous scales of magnitude , to insuf
ficient information us to thu rapid growth
of wheat production from 1879 to 1883
other parts of tlio world than the United
States ; that for the want of thia knowl
edge speculation in wheat for the past
six months has been demo on n wrong
basin ; that it was carried on upon the
old "dollar wheat" idea , and that it coa
tinuod until the persistent refusal f _ the
Liverpool market to take wheat at prices
based on that standard , and then thai
the accumulation of grain in the Chicago
warehouses resulted iu the late severe
fall in prices.
But wheat having BO greatly declined ,
from whatever cause , the next serious
question for our commercial and fman
cial men is , whist ollect will this fall have
upon our industries cenorally ? The an
swer to this natinlly is that as the whole
machinery of raising and carrying wheat
and other grains rests upon thu basis of
their export price , this macninery muot
bear its share of the general decline. The
farmers , the railroad companies , and the
shipping munt consent to carry this grain
at lower figure ? . It is all very well to
say that the time will como when wo
will consume our own grain. Even then
we could not not keep its price above
the level of the world's values. But that
time ia a long w.iy oil' ; and in the mean
time every iniKibtiial interest must ba
prtMJ'tred to \ > A < H through ( iHimilartranaa-
tiou stata of from luuhur to lower prices ,
Miinlar to that tluough which tlio grain
trade ia now so ptitiiiu'ly struggling.

In some countries forests are protocte
by government from destruction , nnd in
ftomo places whcro nno trco is cut down
two nro required to bo planted. Even in
our own plentiful land n man should
hesitate long before ho cuts down n trco
or grove. With n good nx ho may destroy
in a day what nothing but tlnd nnd ngcs
of time can replace. The whole neighbor
hood may bo made the poorer by his
work , but perhaps they will never know
it. Green gross , trrcp , nnd beautiful sun-
toU nro not specially valued in the coun
try , they are too common.
Trees also cxort an important influence-
on the climate. The government of Egypt
years since planted thousands of trees ,
and ns a result they have several days'
moro rnin each year than formerly Our
ancestors wcro famous in proportion as
they foiled the prc.it treesbut the preval
ence of floods , droughts , nnd cyclones
admonish ns that planting trcca is , very
appropriate work for the present genera
tion.

Well , that old here dying mudo his for
tune , The sight of n man wheeling his

people's sympathies so they took up col

The Kcepitups had had n matinee for

"I do , " she said very r olly. "What

"No , " ho replied with forced calmness ,
"I nm going to lot yon have your own

lmni { myself with it. "
Mrs , Keopitup gave n quick , searching
glance at the rope , made a sudden jump
at him and capturud the deadly wea
pon. A Ilaico triumphant light shone in
lior wyes.
"Not with that rope you don't ! " she
shouted , holding it behind her back.
"Not with n clothes line that cost me
$1.20 only n week ago , you don't hang

Old Keopitup didn't ' do any hanging ,

French's hotel , ono of the most widely
mown hostolriea in the land , nnd the
.tlacu wliero tlio European plan wns first
introduced in America , was told nt auc
tion ytstordny to T. J. French , for 8110-
)00. When Colonel French , from whom
the honao derived itn name , died , in
August , 1872 , ho valued the property at
? 1UOO,000 , and left it tu Ina wife and
nine children as n competence for their
lives , The six boys operated the business
during the tint year after the old gentle
man'n death , in thu interest of the estate ,
and it was then loasud for five years to
J. F. Morrison , who had been conducted
with the hotel oinco ho was n boy in cop
per-too shoes. All of the brothers , ox-
eept diehard , were connected with the
business ngain from 1873 until 187&nt the
expiration of which time a < i years' IOHBO
of the establishment was given to thu
man who bought it. Two years ago the
then lessee wanted to renew liia lunso ,
and pay _ $18,000 a year rent , but the re
maining heirs wanted § 25,0 00. They
were oifercd thia sum by n disinterested
party , but could not accept of it , as the
proprietor , who was an executor of I ho
ojtato , would not consent. Since that
time the building has boon gradually go
ing to decay , and is now a total wreck ,
and the habitation only of bats nnd ruts.
On the ground ttoor , where the glitter of
splendor once reigned , bootblacks , ven
ders and newsboys now oat bean a and
cold ham , nnd drink cofFee nnd toa.
French's Hotel , in its palmy days wns
the resort of men of wealth nnd fame
from all parts of tlio world. It wnc
built 5n 1849 by William Simson , the
ubiquitous pawnbroker , especially for
Colonel French , who was then n youny
man , nnd it noon became familiar for its
good cheer nnd comfortable accommoda
tions.
Tlio gold fever was at its height at this
period , and with ovury Pacific steamer
n hundred nnd more adventurers return
ing from the glittering nugget field
would bring their bags of gold dust ant
nneluivon faces to French'o , remaining
for several weeks nnd spending then
money freely. Itinerant minstrels woult
drop 111 ovury now nnd then , and every
old resident remembers how heat
at the jokes.
During the war the hotel wns the abiding
place of generals , spies nnd politicians.
Oil ono occasion a man gave vent to robe
sentiments , and was almost killed by pa
triotic Louis Burrill , who is recorded ii
history as captain of Company A , of Col.
Bakor'n troopa , and who cut into four
pieces the man who alow his commander
While ttio draft riots were in program , it
was feared that tlie hotel would bo de
stroyed , as Colonel French , who hud for
mcrly been a democrat , hud voted for
Abraham Lincoln
In 1HGS the Colonel had aivcd money
