'THE EXETER ADVOCATE,
TututsDAT, JANUARY 31 1895,
• Week's C01.1nnerelal Sialurearye
The world's visible supply of wheat, in-
creased 3,600,000 bushels the past week,
There were 36 f eilures in the Domiuion
last week, four less than the previous
week, and one less than same week last
year. ,
The earnings of the Canadian Paeifie
t for the second wdele of December are
$860,000,an increase of $11000 as com-
pared -with the corresponding week of
last year.
The lumber traffic is dull, the indica-
tions of increased activity at the begin.-
ning of the season have not so far mate-
rialized. Many of our large firms report,
less cutting geeing on in the woods than
last year, owing to the large stocks of
lumber on hand.
The United States Postmaster -General
- reports a deficit of $9,243,935 in his de -
pertinent for the current year. He does
not favor the taking over the telegraphs
of the country 'by. the Government, urg-
ing against it the enormous expense that
would be entailed., and. citing the fact
that in England their operation involves
a, loss of $2,000,000 a wax.
Wheat markets are dull, with very lit-
tle trading, Cables weak. In the United
States and Canada the stocks in store in-
creased over 2,000,000 bushels last week,
and. the amount afloat in Muses increas-
ed 1,256,000 bushels. Manitoba hard
wheat, however, is in good. demand, sell-
ing at 75 cents, west for No. 1 hard.
By mail received from Yokohama, in. -
formation comes that all the tea houses
in Japan have signed a circular stating
that in con.sequenee of eenhanced cost of
labor and tea -packing material, they
find it necessary to increase firing charges
60 cents per pecul, and should the war
centime a still further increase may be-
come necessary.
No very definite inforraation regarding
details of the suspension in St. johns,
Nfld., can be obtained the arrival of a
steamer here with mails, which may not
be for a few days. So far all information
receeved has been. tlarough telegraphic
despatches. The Commercial and Ilmon
13a,nks of Newfoundland have suspended,
but it is supposed that in the case of the
latter at least the stoppege will be but
temporary and that rtrrangements will
be made to continue besiness.
At the sale of seal l skins in London,
Eng- last week, there /were sold 128,470
Northwest Coast skin, 16,030 from
Alaska, 27,300 from Copeper Island, and
16,930 from the Lobos Islalnds. The con-
dition of the skins whieh were offered
was not ftrsteclass. Thge opening demand
was directed exclusiv ly to Northwest
Coast skins, which derilined 20 to 25 per
-cent., at wkieh flgteies the competition
was aetive. Th( collection of A.laska,
skins brought t e usual prices. Copper
Island and. Eoos skins sold at a decline
.of 13 to 20 p cent.
A. reel) test at Schnectedy, N.Y., se-
-cording to the Electrical Age, showed
that aj1 eleetrie locomotive can pull a
,• stea locomotive—advantage of condi.
'dein. being all in favor of the latter—with
ease and. without apparent effort. The
improvement since the World's Fair test
have done this. Next in importance te
the Baltimore and Ohio tunnel electric
motor work, which is being pnshed rapid-
ly to completion, is the use of these elec-
tric motors on the Metropolitan Railroad
of Chicago, which will soon be in opera-
tion. Many railroad. managers are watch-
ing this test with a view to adoption. It
is now expected that electric motors will
be sold to locomotive builders as head-
lights are sold, which would enable any
of the large builders to construct accord -
mg to their own designs. Electric motors
are being rapidly sirnplified to that end.

What a Poet Thinks.
"The Lord. loveth a cheerful giver."
In this, I think, ought to be found. the
keynote and the chief charm. and beauty
of the time-honored custom of Christmas
giving. Because on this day the greatest
gift in the world's history became ours,
we in turn, should not only give cheer-
fully and freely, but as lavishly as our
raeans will admit. More care should be
taken in the bestowing than the selection
of our gifts. Better give a cup of cold
water and a kind word to the needy and
deserving .one on Christmas morning than
gold. and jewels to those who have plenty
the whole year. Make some sacrifice,

rifice alone eonstitutes true generosity. theria in Belleville for several months.
Yet out of this could be gathered enough
material for an essay. which might be
headed, "The Evil of Giving." To give
because someone else gives, to attempt to
outdo one's friend, or neighbor during this
holy season, has nothing to do with char-
ity or the spirit of thanidulness. • Under
such conditions, the offerings become a
vulgar show, a shallow mocking of a sa-
cred mission. On the other hand, the
good of giving comes when the heart is
attune to the blessings of the season, when
self is forgotten, and the gifts, no matter
how small or insignificant, are bestowed
cheerfully, heartily, and in such a spirit
as befits the season which. we commemo-
rate.

A Christmas in Paris.
Opposite the church of St. Eustache is
the ereat market of the Halles, which
furnished the worst of the horrible mob
of fishwomen, who, one hiutdred years
ago,. swarmed Versailles to tear the queen
to pieces. On Christmas eve their lineal
and commercial successors, the present
"dames des Hallos," raised among them-
selves a handsome subscription and fur-
nished a &resat tree for the half-starved
poor of that quarter. The lower branches
were loaded with toys and good things
for the children, the upper with legs of
'mutton, bottles of wine, warm clothes
and all sorts of comforts from their well -
stocked stalls; illuminated by candles
and encircling bonfires. Around. this
tree was held a peat reveillon—the best
attended. in all Paris, needless to say—
which lasted from midnight until 4
o'clock Christmas day. The generous
women. who had prepared the tree did not
go home at all, but opened their stalls,
rubbed their eyes and made ready for
'business. A nurse in the Hamilton hospital was
discharged the other night for sleeping
while on duty.

Not 50 Funny, After All.
The misfortunes of others are filled with
irresistible humor in many oases, particu-
larly in the more trifling acts of every
day. To see a man sit on his own stiff
hat is relished with keen. enjoyment by
every other man in sight. If another
man finds that the crash has come in
reality to his own headgear after laugh-
ing wildly at the supposed hard luck of
his friend, then the situation. is a thous-
and times funnier.
A young man with this human trait
strongly developed swung down Yonge
street at a sharp pace. He carried his
mackintosh flung over his arm. At the
crossing of King street there was a rattle
of coin and a shower of nickels and dimes
rained on the pavement from some un-
known region. No one was more aston-
ished than the young man, and he stopped
with great interest and watched passers
eye the scattered currency askance and
then shyly, as in fear of a trick. Finally
all of the pieces had been picked up by
small boys and other sensible pedestrians,
and still there was no trace of the source.
The em-ious young man enjoyed the inci-
dent a.nd the study of human nature that
it afforded, and had got about two blocks
farther on his way when his face length-
ened instantly as he exclaimed : 'By
Jovethat change fell out of my mackin-
tosh pocket !"

GEMS OF GREAT VALUE.
We Hay Not be Able to See Them, But
the Next Best Thing is to Read of
Them.
We are often. regaled with stories of
fabulous prices paid for gems—pearls or
diamonds. A necklace owned by Baroness
Gustave de Rothschild, made of rows, is
valued at $200,000. Another, owned by
Baroness Adolphe de Rothschild, is even
valued at a higher figure. The Empress
of Russia has a necklace also valued at
90,000 rubles. One belonging to the Grand
Duchess Marie has six rows of pearls, and
is said to have cost $190,000. • Mlle.
Dosne, a, sister of M. Thiers, has a neck-
lace of several rows, which has taken her
several years to collect, and has cost her
upwards of $75,000. The Empress of
Austria possesses some of the most beauti-
ful black pearls it is possible to find; her
easket and that of the Czarina of Russia
are, in fact, the most famous in the world
for pearls of this color. Mme. Leonide
Leblanc sole her necklace of pearls a year
or two ago for nearly $200,000, but in
consequence of certain matters which
were whispered about at the time she
bought it back. The stones graduate itt
size, and are exceedingly beautiful in
shape and color.
The Imam of Muscat possesses a pearl
weighing 121-2 karats, through which
you can see daylight. It is worth about
$165,000. The one owned by Princess
Yousoueoff is unique for beauty. It was
sold by Geer -gibes of Calais in 1620 to
Philip IV. of Spain for 80,000 ducats. Its
present value is about $180,000. The
Pope, on his accession., became the owner
for tbe time being of a pearl, left by one
of his predecessors upon the throne of the
Vaticia,n , which cannot be of less value
than $100,000. The Empress Frederick
has a necklace composed of thirty-two
pearls, the total value of which has been
estimated at $1.75,000. Her xnother,
Queen Victoria has a necklace of pink
pearls worth $80,000.
