According to a British government report, the impcrtation of American cattle inte England is steadily on the increase. For the first five months of the current year it was 175,000 head, as compared with 112,000 for the same period last year. If this rate per month be sustained, the year’s import will be over 400,000, or much larger than the exceptional importation in 1892. The London and Liverpool mar- kets have been so heavily supplied that the prices of American beeves haye there fallen as low as 9c to 9 1-2c per pound (estimated dressed weight); while export steers were being quoted at Chicago at $3.75 to $4 per 100 Ibs, live weight. At these rates shipments must have been made at a loss. The development of the chilled beef import trade presents many interesting feat- ures, and is, in many respects, very similar to that of live cattle. Taking 600 pounds as the average weight of cattle slaughtered for the dressed beef trade, last year’s export from this country of fresh beef to England rep- resented a number of cattle nearly equal to that exported alive, the latter being, however, heavier cattle. The past five months’ export of chilled beef was 108,759,600 pounds, as compared with 81,841,065 pounds for the same period last year. At this rate, the year’s export will be some 60,000,000 pounds greater than in 1892. 1t seems still a matter of doubt whith of the two branches vf the trade offers the largest profits. The secretary of agri- culture, in his report for 1895, says: “It appears to work out more profita- bly to transport the live cattle. They are carried on parts of the ship that would otherwise be unoccupied. They do not require sueh special fittings and appliances as to debar the vessel 1 from carrying other cargo when cattle are not available.” The ocean freight on the four quarters of a steer varies from $5 to $6, How a Letter May Be Recalled. The public is not as familiar with its privileges about postal matters as might, be,surzuscd. Many times ‘peo- vic would like to recall a letter after it has been mailed. This can be done, even if the letter has reached the postoffice at its destination. At every postof6ce there are what are called “withdrawal blanks.” On application they will be furnished, and, when a deposit is made to cover the expense, the postmaster will telegraph to the postmaster at the letter’s destination, asking that it be promptly returned.; The applicant first signs this agree- ment: “It is hereby agreed that, if! the letter is retuzned to me, I will me tect you from any and all claims made against you for such return and will: fully indemnify you for any loss you may sustain by reason of such action. And I herewith deposit $— to cover all expenses incurred and will deliver to you the envelope of the letter re- turned.” In many cases persons have made remittances to fraudulent par- ties or irresponsible firms, not learn- Ing their true character until after the letter had gone,‘ and have suc- ceeded in recalling them. There is an instance where a Kansas.City mer- chant had remitted a dishonest tray- eling. man a draft for $175,.and by means of a withdrawal rescued the draft just in time. The Longest Continuous Speech, Will you kindly inform several of your readers of the longest speech on record, and the name of the speaker? Answer—Many stories are related of unusually long speeches having been made for pucposes of consuming time, and of gaining advantage thereby. A few years ago the Toronto Globe said that the longest speech on record was believed to have been that made by Mr. De Cosmos, in the legislature of British Columbia, when a n easure was pending, the passage of which would ‘take from a great many settlers their lands. De Cos 10s was in a hopeless minority. The job had been held back until the eve of the close of the session, Unless action was taken before noon on a given day the act of confiscation would fail. The day before tke expira- tion of the limituticn De Cosmos got the floor about 10 a. m.. and began to speak against the Dill. Its friends seemed careless, supposing they would have ample time to act when he got through. He kept on speaking through the afternvon, evening, night, next morning, and at last noon came to a baffled majority, livid with rage and {mpotence. So, a single man who was triumphant, though his voice had sunk to a husky whisper, his eyes were al- most shut, and bleared and bloodshot, his legs tottered under him, his baked lips cracked and smeared with blood. De Cosmos had spoken twenty-six hours and saved the lands.—Brooklyn Eagle. The Modern Drama, Yes. sir; our Uncle Tom’s Cabin company is by all odds the most pro- gressive one on the road. Our motto is upward and onward. Why, you know, in all the little one-horse shows, the yallow gal, Hiiza, crosses the river on the ice to keep away from the dogs and slave-chasers? Well, sir, in our magnificent production; we substitute for one insignificant river six deep bays, over which six ‘yallow Elizas nimbly skip to freedom, That's right.” “Six deep bays?” “Yes, sir; six deep bays, furnished by three Asiatic blood- hounds—just two apiece. Drop around this evening, and I’ll let ’em bay an extra bay or two.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer. What He Was Fishing For. “Was that your mother with you yes- terday?” “My mother? Dear, dear, that was my younger sister!. We should so much like to have you come to dinner Sunday, Mr. Beusley.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer. A Dramatic Departure. “Any new features in the ‘Hamlet’ that Plodgett is getting up?” “Yes, he is going to have a fat ghost.”—Chicago Record. “I object to being retired from the field,” remarked the Base Ball. “I have a kick coming, too,” replied the Foot Ball—Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph. $4.80—ExXeursion Rates—$4.80 Minnescta Stace Fair.
