Two-thirds of tho business is done by five firms. It costs each of tho larger firms something like $200,000 a year for agents and other expenses under tho "introduction account. Thkbb are only four nations in the world to-day that aro paying their way. Pnrrland irenerol y manages to make O both end meet and show n trilling sur plus of 12,000,000 or $3,000,000 to be applied to the reduction of its enormous national debt; the United States, in npite of congressional extravagance, puts by nearly fifty times as mucn, nnu Jut land and Belgium keep about even With these exceptions every natioa in the civilized world Bhows an annual de ficit of more or lew millions. The London Times says that compe tition between the United States and In dia in the wheat trado haa already bo come so close, that the preference fre quently depends upon the difference in tho rates of exchange. India furnishes a third of the imports and the State shout forty per cent., but India is gain ing and the United States is fulling back. The situation described by the Times, however, depends upon a very variable factor, as the crops of India aro exceed ingly uncertain, with the chances rather in favor of drought as an nvorage condi tion. The Department of State publishes a 1st of six prominent grain-producing na tions of Europe, which in 1871 to 1S72 produced 4-18,700,000 bushels of wheat, and in 1878 to 1881 produced 810,380,000 bushels. Between the two period! tho production of the United Kingdom de creased by 10,000,000 hushols, but in nil other countries there were important gains. The F.uropean crop of 1882, which is this side of tho dates of tho De partment report, was greatly in excess of any yield on record, and that of 1883, while considerably smaller, was still above the average. Spain now has an annual yield o. about 40,(500,000 gallons of wine, which places her in the fourth rank among wine-growing countries, beiug surpassed only by France and Italy, and Austria Hungary. Sho has a large export trade with Franco, but it is not true that she has developed this whol y or chiefly by the prevalence of phylloxoro in the French vineyards, for in 1875, when the phylloxera had dono comparatively liit'e harm, she exported wines to tho amount of 151,000,000f. or one-third of her total exports, a proportion which was scavcoly exceeded in 1879. Senator Tu'sin has introduced n bill to broak up the system of favoritism by which army oflicors got and keep easy places by means of social and political influence It meroly provides that no officer shall be dotached from his regi ment or company for more than thr.e years consecutively, and that after his return from such detached duty he shall not again be sent upon such service un til he has seen throe years' active service 1 ii k towns ami cities that have so far gone for the "dry" ticket iu South Caro lina, represent 16,702 votes, and those for the "wet" 10 3GC.

Cotton seed oil is also largely used. It bos tho natural advan tages of flavor and color and gives the butter a good grain. Oloo oil, a fluid obtained from tallow, figures largely in the manufacture of butter. Pure cow butter is difficult to find in any market at tho present time. A N English paper says that penal Ber- vitude is, as now carriod out in England, n very dreadful punishment ind ed From tho dock tho prisoner is carried away in tho prison van, and on his arri val at tho jail tho heavy gates are shut to with a horrible sound behind him. Tie is thrust into a narrow cell, there to remain wiihout companionship for nine months. Scarco'y ever hearing a human voice, save tho warden's, fed on comae food, liis fate is sealed for thirty six weeks and after that ho will probably bo sent to nnother establishment where the discipline is somewhat less se vere. The nmo months' solitary confine ment of a five years' convict is hard to bear. About fivo feet from the floor is o peep hole. Tho warder can look iu at any moment, and tho dread of this con stant supervision induces in sensitivo prisoners nervous anxiety, in such cases the most scvero part of the punishment inflicted upon them. The period of sol itary confinement at on end, they aro allowed to work m gangs, under a strict and purposely vexatious discipline. I.v France pork is a power, especially when it is sa' ted. Hie law against the importation of salt pork from the Uni ted States is regarded by Johnny Chapau as an unmitigated nuisance. It is main tained that the fear of the introduction of trichinosis has been intensely exagger ated, and it is suspected that the crusade against American salted pork arises from the intrigues in Franco and Germany of people who are interested, that is to say, butchers and faiisago manufacturers, in ridding themselves of the fierce compe tition which comes from the article so abundantly produced in the states. The offect of this prohibitory legislation was keenly felt in the sthtcs, aud n measure o' reprisal is now ngilated. It is pro posed whenever a foreign government restricts the introduction of cured pro ducts made from the flesh of American cattle or swine, tho President shall pro hibit tho importation into the United States of the wines, liquors nnd mer chandise of the offending country, the prohibition continuing until tho obnox ious restrictions aro removed. Such a retaliatory measure would fall heavily on France, and would be tho making of the wine growers of California. ITEMS OK NEWS.
