The general trade 1ms been excellent and

activity than before at this tlmo for many
yours.
' Mr. AndreCsenof tlio Ice , Clarkn. Andrccson
linrdwaro company says : "Trado Is heavy ,
fully 23 per cent greater for the past six
months than Inst year for tlio sumo period.
Collections are fair and losses this year have
been very Hinall. "
( T Mr. Schneider of ScliaeldorA ; T.oomts reports
trade brisk , 25 to U ) percent heavier than for
Jtlio Ilrst six months of 18aO.
) Mr..CowoII of tbn Kllpalrlck-Koch dry goods
company says : "Our business for the past
nix months will .show an Incroiwo of 15 per cent
over ISS'J ' for the same months. I'rlcos lire fair.
Wo have had no such cutting this year as was
indulged In last year to the detriment of the
trade generally by Chicago nnd New Vork ,
nnd consequently profits tire fairly satisfac
tory and our balance sheet makes a good show
ing on the right sldo. Losses
this year are nothing. whtlo
last year they were of almost
dally occurrence. 'Our travelers say that
small grain , has suffered Homowhat from
jilroimlit along tlio line of tlio Union 1'aclflo
vSirtl H. k M. roads , but In South Dakota they
rfport.tlie outlook as line and throughout the
ftlntc as a whole prospects for large crops and
nTieavy trade are excellent , and prices will
probably bo firm and higher if the McKInley
1)111 posses In anything like Its present shape.
At the flannel bale last month llgures
vri'ru lOo to 13o less than a year
ago , but since then values have
Jiave gone higher than over. Cotton goons are
yory linn. Woolens are nlsn , and they llko-
/jvlhu / will probably boafTected by tlio passage
pf the tai-ltr bill In Its present shajie , and a
uoain In this class of goods Is looked for , as Im
porters are buying heavily and pressing goods
upon jobbers. Collections were never MO oed
plnco'otir house was established. Smalt deal
ers have learucd that it pays them to buy at
Jiome , lust year having tauglitthuiu the lesson
that scattered accounts and a tight money
Tiiarkct brought trouble by pressure from dls-
Itatit creditors , and taught them that they
pould rely with moro eertalnty upon their
Jiome jobbers at such times of need and they
iiavo transferred much of their trade here on
that aei-ount. City tradn Is rather dull , but
-Collect Ions are as a rule fair. "
' In groceries business Is good with a liberal
demand for fireworks and Fourth of Jiily goods
Generally. Trices are us a inlo steady. Cof
fees are unchanged. Sugars declined ? o pur
round In tliu paht three ilays , atlrlbutalilo to
, flhe decision In favor of the American Sugar
tiKcllnorv In California , which threw upon the
4iiarki > l 10.000 barrels ot rellned. Sugars are
wory low for this season of the your and are H
eiils per pound lower than at this tlmo last
/your , when on.liinu20granulated was worth
VJiu ugaliihtjQ&u per pound today. Prospects
Xavor nil advanc-e when the present surplus Is
-Tprorkeil off , as there Is a heavy demand usu-
jally during July , August and September for
{ preserving liiirno-tos.
> ; Tim New Vork Commercial Bulletin says of
polJVe : "That all hands remain under more or
jess perplexity regarding the market for lira-
ell prudes Is evident enough from the manner
; Ju which the fluctuations In tone from day to
day are commented upon. Any Increasuof the
movement or. upuaruiit strengthening of value
'IB nt once acc'epted'tts a sure evidence that tho'
rjong waited for Improvement Is at baud , and
An absence of business or n failure to secure
full bills becomes the slRiml for tlio claim that
fcho market Ls on the brliili'of ' a precipitate do-
Cllne. whllo the simple record of either fact Is
rowplly characterized as a bull or bear

iitl.t ) situation. however , still hinges
the ability of the country to
, off until they- tire out hold-
icrs , and recent variations were merely In
' 'tho way of skirmishes while awaiting tlio issue
1 tot the main bat tie. . It seemed to bo a sort of
Btand-olt all mound today , sellers abstaining
i Jrom liny special effort to reallzo and buyers
exhibiting quite as much Indifference , leaving
iraluit uucimnln nnd quotations again only u
rnatler of guess work , but probably uo chance
lor realizing nxvnpt at decline. The only busi
ness , reported was SOObiiRH Santas at IGJJe for
ISo. K ) . Contracts make no special mark today.
Operators ; so fnr as the outside element was
Concerned , ftppoiired to have little Interest In

could to maintain a showing nf life. Tliu ro-

IlKB.l There was n landslide In wheat this
forenoon which carried the price of July off 1
cent nnd other months nearly as much. At the
opening It appeared as If there would bo no
decisive action In the market , as there was
llttlo In the way of news to affect prices. The
feeling of the trade was Influenced largely by
continuous rains In the northwest and by the
recent heavy rains near Chicago , Largo ex
port clearances dhow a falling off for the week
nnd at Now Vork , where dispatches liavo re
ported so much taken , noao were cleared to
day. The market was steadied for a whllo
by Kciinral buying , headed by I'oolo nnd
others , but the hulk of the trade soon swung
over to the selling side nnd prices yielded
easily , llutehlnson was not aggressive. Ho
sold , but It was supposed to bo on orders from
customers. Mitchell was credited with dump
ing some long wheat ; Mini , \V. U. McUormlck
tc Co..Fours-Koiini'U , 1/otran & Co. , Dunham &
Co. , S. V. Whlto & Co. and Italdwlnand Fnrnum
all sold , and when then ) was no good rally
sold again. Minneapolis dispatches clvo esti
mates of rainfall at Dakota and Minnesota
l ) Ints of from three to live Inches the past
two weeks. The government estimate at 1'ort
Huford was wired as three and a half Inches
In twenty-four hours. At any rate there ap
pears to uo vastly too much rain for the spring
wheat crop. The action of thu market up to
noon was : July 80'ao off to Bo.'io and up to
force had left the lloor for the derby nnd
wheat was weak and at the bottom prices for
the day July Kiljc , August SO.Uc , September
J'o and December 87'ic. There were reports
of twelve to fourteen boat loads taken for ex
port at New Vork , but the trade took no stock
in the unconfirmed statement. The closing
prices for the day and week In wheat were :
June H.v,5c.Inly HOC. August 8W > c. September
N"o and December SJiic.
There was an absence of features of any
sort In the com trade today. On the whole ,
thu market was well supported and after holl-
IIIK both above and below the last
prices of yo.iterday , the close was
without ehansre. Cooler weather and an ex
treme rainfall In many sections wore re
garded a * retarding the Brewing crop , and ,
with no selling pressue , this caused bettor
figures early. July sold at 3ljO to 31'c , and
later touched at DlK--l ! * 'c. closing at Ufie :

There was some firmness to the oat market
early , and It was pretty well held to the elo-e.
considering the quietness of trade. Juno oats
closed ! { ( ! upat'JtiJio ; July bold at SJio ) early
and closed steady at 29fto ; August held at
' . ' 7 0 to 27ic all day. closing at tfJic ; Septem
ber closed at a7f o after selling at iktc ! early :
October closet ! with September. What
buying was done was largely
on further reports of Insects In
Illinois fields and backwardness of the crop
owing to adverse weather. Kecolnts were . * . )
cars and the estimate ifor'Monday ' was 1 >
cars. . (
Very little business was transacted In hog
products and the feeling was'liulet and prices
steady. Speculative offerings were limited
and the demand fr.mi ; iHquitter4 ; wn lluhter
than usual , oven for the cfpslng day of the
week. The undertone toUhe market Indicated
an easier feeling and prli'cs inclined In favor
.of buyers. Local operators w.ero not disposed
to do much business and orders from outsldo
parties were light. The trYtdlng was almost
exclusively In contracts forJtily and Septem
ber , with the bulk of the business In transfers.
Advices from the eastern markets showed
llttlo change In that quarter and foreign re-
noruwuru unchanged. Kuauptsof products
were fair and shipments were quite liberal.
The demand on shipping account was light
and orders were chlelly for ' ' .small lots. The
offerings were not very largu-and the trans
actions reported show Illtlo change In prices.

the bad again today with a break of 0 polnta
early and a lotal decline for the day of nearly
8 per cent. Out-spoken .sentiment , which

when the incubus drop of sugar was removed
tliu entire regular list showed not only moro

Auditorium hotel in Chicago the other day.
Iu the rotunda ho told some acquaintances
about the coming Industry of several of the
western states , says the Tribune.
"The boot sugar industry , " ho said , "soon
will bo otio of the biggest in America. At
Grand Island , Neb. , tlio largest boot sugar
manufactory In America is almost completed.
It will have a capacity of over four hundred
tons n day. You will bo surprised to learn
that tbe boot surpasses the cauo in a sugar-
producing plant. The cane has 14 per cent of
sugar , wliilo the beet has 10 per cent. Fifty
years ago the boot had only 5 per cent , but
science has increased it to 10. Beets have
been raised in Nebraska which gave 2- per
cant. Wliilo tlio cano Is a tropical plant and
cannot advance , the beet is continually Im
proving. About # 4 u ton la paid lor boots. A

An Kfltiinato or the Wheat Crop.
Pour weeks ago the Cincinnati Price Cur-
rout , after a careful review of the indications
iu regard to winter wheat area , suggested
tbat approxlmatly 2,000,000 , acres had
evidently been turned to other crops and
otlior.vUo disappeared from the area to bo
harvested. This was applied to 20,000,000
acres as approximately the December Indica
tion of tlio department in regard to tlio
season's area , leaving ! M,000,000 as about the
situation , The present estimate of the
department , however , iiialies the shrinkage
greater , Indicating about 9 , ! iO.X)0 ( ) acres less
than the area harvested In 18a9 or approxi
mately i3luU,000 ! acres this session , against

Baron Wrcdo , the Swedish nobleman
who spent twenty yours in Siberia , Is now
In Now York on his way homo to Sweden ,
after an nbsonco of thlrtv-two years , ho
having been sent Into oxllo in 1S57 , says
a dispatch to the San Francisco Ex
aminer.
Ho wns implicated in the plot apntnst
Czar Alexander II , and ho tells an Inlor-
estlnrj story of his experience. He was
conspicuous in Sweden us the scion of
ono of its oldest families , having- mar
ried the sister of the governor of O.stor-
{ TOthliuul. The baron entered the Rus
sian navy in his youth , and it was whllo
serving as a llrst lieutenant that ho
lolned in the conspiracy to kill the czar.
Most of the conspirators were olllcers in
the army and navy. Nearly ono hun
dred were concerned in the plot , which
was to blow-up - the opera house at St.
Petersburg whllo the czar was attend'
inpr the porformuneo
The design was betrayed nnd nil the
conspirators were sent to Siberia for life.
For nearly thirty years the baron la
bored in the mines , until about a year
ago , when ho escaped , The baron has
this to say about his late home :
"Siberia , although of immense pro
portions , is BO closely guarded Unit on
an average , not over ilfteen prisoners
cscnpo annually , and of these many
perish of hunger and cold or are eaten
by the wolves on the frozen sloppcs
which surround much of the country.
In seine cases Iho mines are leased to
English capitalists , who pay the pris
oners a inoro pittance , amounting to
about 10 cents a day. Their condition is
most deplorable , and the stories related
by the American , Keiinnn , and the Eng
lish gentlemen who have visited the
place do it no injustice.
"Women are mistreated and young
girls are captured and forced to marry
Cossacks , who are obliged to bo mar
ried. The prisoners tire fed on impure
mqnt and vegetables and die rapidly.
"One cannot subsist in the mines more
than llfteon years , owing to the treat
ment they receive. Tlis late czar was
much kinder to the prisoners than the
present monarch.
"Another class of prisoners are these
convicted of minor otTonses , and they
roam about the country begging and
subsisting as best they can. The olll
cers nnd noblemen are treated best and
have a comparatively , easy time , al
though they are allowed no papers , letters -
tors or communication with the outside
world.
"Thoro are over .SOQ.OOO in the mines
and probably 1200,000 wandering about
the country and 2,000 ofiicers and noble
men. "
Baron Wredo's escape was inudo in a
peculiar manner. Ho made a friend of a
sea captain while at a port on the Cas
pian sea , and hidden under a pile of raw
hides was carried put of the port. Ho
went to Cochin China , thence to Canton ,
Tokio and San Francisco.
Ho stopped a few days with , his coun
trymen in Chicago ami it was just a year
on the 121th of May since ho escaped on
the vessel. He hopes that safety will bo
secured until ho can reach Sweden , as ho
has powerful friends there who will pro
tect him.

Hero there is none of that evil talk so
common in our eastern possessions of
the "d d nigger , " writes n traveler
from the Kallir country , South Africa.
There is not u sign of culling or bullying ;
the natives are , on the whole , treated
with the same justice uud impartiality
as the Europeans a righteous principle
which excites certain unrighteous Dutch
Boors to fury.
There are few moro pleasing sights
than the crowd of Englishmen und
Kalllrs assemblou in the public park and
listening with a common pleasure to the
military band. The natives , like most
savages , scorn perfectly entranced with
civilized music , and their 'expression '
when "God Save the Queen" is played is
that of admiring awe.
Tlioso Knllirs are really stalwart ,
well-looking , line fellows. They would
oven look dignified , but for their extra
ordinary costume , which to a new-corner
excites unbounded amusement. They
represent a museum of almost every uni
form in the British army gunners , sap
pers , rillemen , linemen and dragoons ,
but three or four of tho.ni are required
to illustrate a complete turnout.
Here is a big black follow whoso en
tire costume consists of a lancer's tunic ,
buttoned tightly across his otherwise
nnkod body and leaving visible a pair
of splendid logs of a Hhining mahogany
color , which in a dining room table
would bo quito beautiful.
Another is coatless ; but wears a pair
of trows ; another has on an artillery
man's trailing greatcoat , and another
has on nothing particular at all. These
tunics ( brightened ami cleaned up ) are
sold in numerous stores at the current
price of 3 shillings ; ! pence each , and
very proud the wearers scorn of their
finery.
Their wivesr-for thpir plurality is on

horso-hair locks and their skewered
oars and noses , were it not that this is

and then continued , but after half a min

The man looked annoyed , but went on
and during tlio quarter of an hour ho
was talking that bell rang about Ilfteen
times. When ho had finished ho looked
over to tlio weary young man and asked ;
"What is that bell for V"

"How do you mean V"
"Why , you know , when you hoar any

those of other speolo.s f.xceSt thnt tlu\v urn
twelve to fourteen Inches in length , Thu
woiHl Is resinous , hanl niul very heavy , and
the only plno lumber used In this part of thu
south Is inudo of till ? tree.

much of the same st.vlo as soldiers erect for
winter quartern. The right to use the trees
is leased from the owner of the land anil
sometimes ono operator will liavo under his
earo UHI.OIK ) tives , called the turpcntinu
orchard. The trcos nro tupped much in thu
same way that nuiplo ttve.s nro in sugar male *

scnriilca. The turi > cnUiio gathei-s In this
notch ami by evaporation dries Into n whlto
Bum , which the men gather about once
a month for seven months of tlio
year. This in-wlo turpentine is taken to
the still where the turpcntiuo and resin ni-o
separated bv bcluu put into a largo coptwr
tank mid boiled. The steiun that rises Iroiu
this boiling contains the turpontlno and being
conducted through a long winding pipe that
runs through a tank of cold water is con
densed by being cooled and the liquid thus
formed Is pure turpcntiuo. That part of the
crude turpentiuo which will not rise in this
steam is left to settle in the bottom of the
boiler anil constitutes our common resin. Fif
teen thousand b.im-ls of turpcntinu and rosin
nro often made annually ntouo of those
camps.
All this part of the south Is divided up into
strips of black lands and yellow lands run
ning diagonally from northeast to southwest ,
from twenty to forty miles In width , ami
from 101) ) to 200 miles in length. Tlicso nro
called the "black belts" and "whlto bolts. "
Elllsvllle Is within a white bolt which has a
light colored soil ami is occupied by whlto
people. No provincialisms are found hero
like those mut with in Georgia and Virginia.
The negro brocuo is unknown mid pure Kng-
llsh language is in popular use. The people
nro industrious , honest , happy and peaceul ! ,
and ono would not learn from them that an
iuternlceno war had ever existed here. Very
little pilfering or stealing occurs , doors of
dwellings n e never locked and the housewife
does not carry a basketful of keys. It is not
n disgr.ico for a white man to work hero as it
is in the black bolts and industries are car
ried on in a thrifty manner.
Next to turpentine the most profitable and
prominent industry throughout southern
Mississippi , Alabama and Texas has been
that of sheep raising. Hut the reduction of
the wool tariff has seriously crippled wool
growi ng. Less earo in sheep raising is re
quire d here than in any oilier country I evei
saw. Tlio sheep live all winter on the rnugo
without other feed. A curious little plant ,
much lilco young tobacco , but with all the
leaves lying ilnt on the ground , grows and re
mains gVeen all winter , and this is tlio sheep's
pasturo. But little loss occurs from wolves
or dogs , the people respect private brands
nnd marks , stealing is severely pun [ shod and
honesty is the rulo. Only the common scrub
stijek of sheep is used here , for Jlno wool
sheep would starve in short order. Tlio people
ple hero urb for protection , support the Una-
dull policy and regard n low duty on wool as
an injustice to their interests. The rebellion
had very few sympathizers here , and this
was the case iu many rural districts of the
south.
This is the land of ox teams , and fromjthis
onward to south Florida the cowboys of the
south nro called "crackers. " The have a
great love for making their whips > pop. and
as this country Is near the sen level ,
in consequence of which the air is
dense , a gun or whip will make double
the report it would in Nebraska. In com
ing into town these ox drivers put a now
cracker on their whips , keeping up n con
tinuous popping , uud twenty or thirty of
them make a good Imitation of musket liring
in a battle. This is where their appellation
of "cracker" came from , mid when northern
people live among them ono class is called
Yankees and the other crackers. When the
Choctaw Indian tribe was removed to the In
dian territory several hundred of the mem
bers refused to go and liavo IHJOII living in
this country over sinco. They keep up their
tribal relations , but dress and work lllto the
whites. I witnessed a very interestinggnnio
of Indian ball near this place that caused
quite an cxcltomont. Those games are en
couraged by the merchants as they draw
largo crowds of people from the .surrounding
country. The game Is on the prlnciplcof foot
ball , stakes being driven 501) ) yards apart and
the ball placed half way between. Tlio effort '
is for one side to drive the ball "past the other
side to the stake. They must never touch
the ball by hand or foot and only u leather
cup with handle and bowl like a largo , smion
is used for the purpose of driving the ball.
In this cup the ball Is caught and thrown
toward the stake. The game Is moru danger
ous than base ball but these Indians never let
their tempers rise.
