France proposes spending $1500,000, on

The low pay of French soldiers is partly com
pensated by the fact that they can buy their
tobacco from the government on very low
terms, and travel wverywliere through the
country at half price.
In the Eastern cities trade is shrinking to

The New Ynrk Ierald publishes a docu
ment contalnkIg the terms of the concession
granted by the United States of Colombia to
the Interocoanei Canal Company for the con
struction of a ship ianal across the Isthmus
of Darien. This concession requires the com
pany to determine upon a plan for the canal
by the year 1881. 'When a plan shall have
been fixed upon, two.years are given in which
to form a com pany, and that done, the canal
must be finished In eighteen years or the con
cession becomes void. The concession is for
ninety-nine years, and at the encd of that time
the canal and all its lands become the prop
erty of the Colombian government.
There are apprehensions that troubles like
those now embarrassing the ,otton trade are
in 'store for other staple British industrles.
The coal and iron trades are at a standstill.
Coal pits are being shut up. the iron trade is
much depressed, and with these two leading
trades suffer all the dependent industries.
Bhefteld has booeen disappointed in the small
ness of the orders it has received from the
government. All the war talk has produced
no increase of activity in the armor-plate de
partment, an(l the machinery for boring rifle
barrels remains idle. The rail business is
likewise suffering, as appears from the sus
pension of a majority of the rail-mills till
better prices return.
Concerning the tobacco crop prosp(cLts the
Louisville Courier-Journal, of the fifteenth in
stant, says:
It can no longer be doubted that the contin
uance of unfavorable weather conditions is
telling seriously upon the planting prospects,
'and short estimates have the advantage at
.present. The range of temperature is re
:-arlbly even and remarkably low, as It has
;sa for the last week. The range is 42 to 52
dl4rees, which is at least 20 to 25 degrees be
low the average. It is possible, however, that
'fvorsable change in the weather may put a
'-lghter phase upon the situation, or even re
r the injury which plants have sustained.
be ioston Advertiser thus remarks upon
gg.If w 1interest rates in that city:
SWehear of transactions in first-class five
month' paper at 3' per cent, and a larger
quantity than is oltering on the market could
be placed at the same favorable terms. Some
surprise is occasionally expressed that those
who have idle money do not invest it in the
government 4% per cents, rather than to ac
cept such low rates, but in behalf of loans at
low rates itis argued that such investments
are temporary. In a few months the money
is expected to return, and if in the meantime
the market becomes more active and rates
advance, the holders of such funds will be in
a postion to profit by it. As to investments
in government bonds, there is an impression
that when money becomes more active and
rates advance, that there may be considerable
of shrinkage.
The latest triumph of American manufac
turers is the export of beer to Germany. A
casual remark of Prince Bismarck last year
to some American visitors that he did not be
lieve as good beer was brewed' in America as
in Germany led to the shipment to him of a
keg of American beer. This was so accepta
ble to the German taste that several large or
ders have sinco been received for more, and
an American brewer sailed last week for Eu
rope toI make permanent arrangements 'for
the export of American beer to Germany.
The beer sent is New York beer, and if New
York lager can be sold in Germany, the Chli
(cago ieer, which is far better, could find a
large market.

OFFICE OF NEW ORLEANS DEMOCRAT, I
Friday Evening. May 17, 1878. J
GENERAL REMARKS - To-day the long
wished for rain came and fell copiously, flood
ing the streets and filling the cisterns.
The sales of Cotton to-day were confined to
only 23oo bales, owing to the poor offerings and
stringent demands of holders. During the week
low grades have advanced :Sc. and high grades
%; sales footing up 1.1so bales, against 17.400oo
bales the previous week and 16,450 bales the
week before.
During the week the receipts of Flour
amounted to 9233 barrels, against 9317 last week.
The supply of that commodity is light, and the
market is steady and dull, business being chief
ly confined to job lots.
Owing to the scant supply of Corn Meal this
article has advanced, and is now quoted at $2 35as
rl2 50 ok bbl.
The Provision market continues dull, es
Decially in Pork, in whith article there is
scarcely any movement. During the week Dry
Salt shoulders have declined '4'ec f 11;: Ba
con sides have fallen in price En@ '4c, shoulders
remaining firm and unchanged.
The sales of Corn to-day footea up 3153 sacks,
at from 51t to 52c .a bushel.
For Bulk Corn there is a good demand and
prieos are firm.
COTTON-Thegeneral features of the market
are unchanged from what they have been for
the past few days. The demand continues
active and prices are strong and advancing.
The sales to-day were only 2010 hales, and much
below what they would have been had the
offerings been better and holders less stringent
in their demands.
In a review of the week closing to-day we
observe a marked improvement, not only in
business but in prices, compared with the pre
vious week. The sales aggregate 18,i10 bales, and
prices have advanced on the whole line, the
low grades going up N'c and the high grades
oe, the demand running largel' on the lower
qualities.
A large weekly movement is apparent also at
New York in futures, the sales amounting to
321,400 bales, with an aggregate improvement in
prices of 21@24 points for the early months and
H 13 points'on the later months. We notice
also an improvement on spot cotton In that
market of 1'4'Ce.
The changes at Liverpool are of like charac
ter to those in New York, spots going up 'fd.
Havre is also If higher. Manchester continues
quiet.
The following is the ofliolal closing of the
