Kdwaud X. Wuop. Last Week in Trade Circles. Sjit'fial ('irrev.imndt.iice. New Yohk, Jan. 20. 1804. Business during the last week lias continued to present indications of steady though gradual improvement. The distribution of manufactured goods has been larger; and the re sumptions of work in mills and fac tories, in response to improved de mand, have greatly overbalanced the stoppages which have been occasion ally reported in various industries. The processof recuperation lias been slow, however, and reviving business ; has not yet been accompanied by ro ! covery in prices. In many lines of I trade competition has continued to j depress values, so that enlargement of sales or the re-employment of pro ductive capacity has resulted in no corresponding increase in profits or business investments. Merchandise exports continue large, and for January thus far the A UP OX ORANGES. William Hoars Different Opinions Ex pressed On the Crop. Some portions of west Florida are still in the pine' woods and very lone some. Traveling overland I found the habitations several miles apart on the main road, but was told that the little grass-covered roads that branched off right and left led to somebody's house, where clever peo ple lived and cultivated orange trees for a living. "This is a great country,'" said a settler, ''where the climate is worth $100 an acre and the land ain't worth a darn. It is risky for a man to die here and be buried for there is not enough virtue in the soil to make him rise when Gabrielblows his horn."' 'Tt seems to produce fine oranges," said I. 'Yes," said he, '"but what's or anges? The more oranges he has got the poorer lie is. The price has got down to about 20 cents a hun dred on the tree, and he can't keep up his grove for that." That man was a pessimist, and there are thousands of them. I found Mr. Starr packing 2,.")00 boxes of his own crop and he said that his net profit would be GO cents a box, and that would pay him well on ins in vestment. He is an optimist and is increasing his acreage every year. I found Mr. Robinson near Lonard with 20.000 trees and he is entirely content with his business. His 20 acres of bearing trees have paid all the ex lenses of increasing his acre age and ail will be bearing in two years more.

The time is drawing near for a final vote in the House on the Wilson tar iff bill, and its passage by the House is now as certain as anything that has not taken place can be. The on ly material amendments made to the bill during the debate in the House were those abolishing1 the sugar bounty and putting refined sugar on the free list. The last is believed to have been the hardest blow ever giv en to the sugar trust. A determin ed fight was made for the amend ments putting a duty on iron ore and on coal, but they were voted down by substantial majorities. It is not ; probable that any other important amendment will be attached to the bill, unless it shall be decided to make the internal revenue bill, which includes the income tax, which has just been reported to the House, one. Several changes were made in the internal revenue bill before it was reported. Among them the follow ing: The tax on cigarettes is 1 per thousand, instead of $1.50 as first proposed; petroleum is put on the free list without qualifications, in stead of being admitted free only from countries that admit ours free; changes were made in the wording of the binding twine, condensed milk and pearl button clauses; cut stones and diamonds are left as at present, and an additional tax of 50 cents per thousand is put on cigars. Senator Walthall left for his Mis sissippi home this week followed by the regrets of all who knew him.
