NAVAL STORES IN 1893, - '
The Year Was Hot a Prosperons One Xiow
v; Prices and Increased Cost of Production
ibVTroubls. . - - '" j-1
The Savannah News gives the annexed
interesting review "of the naval stores
trade for 1893 and the outlook for 1894:
-While the end of the old year is not
the end - of a season with . they naval
stores men, it marks the close of a busi
ness period in that the producers, many
ot them, endeavor to wind up accounts
with the factors and start afresh, "M '
-The year, since the beginning of the
present season April 1, has ' 'not been a
prosperous one with the trade, and the
prospects, while ': some, brighter, for Jhe
remainder of the season, are not by any
means flattering. During ; the season so
far, rosins have done well, especially the
higher grades; and. have perhaps .mads .
up to some extent for the low price ot
spirits.: The' domestic demand, however,
has been light, and the home consump
tion of spirits is row about 20,000 casks
behind what it was at this time last year.
The; money stringency has kept down
the demand, but now that it is relieved,
there 4S a prospect of an increased con
sumption in home markets. '
The accounts of the producers have,
in many instances, been greatly , neg
lected tor want ot means to put them in
good shape..." In fact, most ot the pro
ducers have not made : money to keep
them up. .They have been shipping all
the stock they could make or scrape, in
order to get their accounts straight for
the beginning ot the new year, but many
of them have - failed to do it. -The1 con
sequence of this has been that the stock
on hand has - been piled up to such an
extent- that it h now much larger than
it has been in a long time.
The trouble with producers has been
low prices, with an increasing cost of
production. The cost of labor remains
about the same, but the crop is getting
further every r, year from the ' lines of
transportation, and timber , is becoming
higher; With this condition of affairs
the producers wilt come out behind un
less there is a corresponding increase in
price. 1 ne increased prices ot rosins
have made up to some extent for the
losses on spirits, but there istttle
money tor the producer in the present
condition of the market. In some places
they are getting twenty-five and thirty
miles from the lines of transportation,
and the expenses of getting it to market
are increased correspondingly. --
It is estimated at present that the re
ceipts of spirits will be at least 10 per
cent, less than - those of last year, and
those rot rosin . correspondingly. The
market Is said to be in a good shape for
better prices, but the producers are be
ing urged to suppress cutting new boxes,
as that always has a tendency to start
tne iaea 01 a urge crop, ana cause a
corresponding depression :--in -?prices;
Following is a table showing the present
status of the crop from April t to date,
as compared with that of last year:
1833. '.' 1892.

CORBETT "WRITES A ILETTER.
" An Inch in Haitht Is Worth Ten Founds
and That WU1 WUlp Mitchell."
A Baltimore dispatch to the Herald
says :' Mr. John P. Mackenzie, better
known as "Druid Hill," has received a
letter from Ja mes J. Corbett,
': "To begin with,' writes Corbett, "you
ask me why I am particularly glad of an
opportunity of meeting Mitchell. I will
answer that question by saying that I
firmly believe that by whipping Mitchell
I will be doing the American public a
favor, as I am convinced that the public
is tired ot his btnffings and windy noth
ings. I think he wants to meet me for
the same reason that I wanted to meet
Sullivan he has everything to gain and
nothinz to lose. . ; , -
"la reeard to the dinerence between
the ring tactics of Mitchell and myself,
I can only say that I don't know what
tactics he will pursue, but that my tac
tics will depend entirely upon his, as I
never plan my tactics until r enter the
ring, and am controlled greatly by what
mv opponent does. - - .
n "In answer to yoiir third question, I
must answer you very frankly at the risk
of - being .. thought conceited. : In ' my
opinion an inch in height is worth ten
pounds : in weight, and I ' would much
rather be ten pounds lighter than an
inch shorter. In fact; I --don't think
there is a man under five feet nine laches
whom I could not alone : whip, but hit
when and where I wanted to no matter
how clever he may be; You will have a
good chance to see if my ideas of height
and reach are correct on the night ot
January 25. : : , '

NIGHT SESSION.
The Grand Lodge, with many ladies
and gentlemen of this city, assembled at
8 o'clock in the Y. M. C. A.'s spacious
auditorium to hear the public address
on Masonry which was delivered by
Grand Marshal E. F. Lamb, of Elizabeth
City.
'. The address was an historical sketch
of the origin, growth, development, and
practical usefulness in the advance of
civilization of Masonry. He traced its
origin with much detailed research and
presented it in a most graphic and inter
esting manner. In graceful and eloquent
language, replete with striking illus
tration, be exhibited the teachings
of the noble order and point
ed out its practical adaption to the
needs of men. His address jwas deliv
ered in a dignified and elegant manner.
and was listened to by the large audi
ence with profound interest and atten
tion. It was in fact an effort ornate
in, style, and finished in literary
effect, which was captivating and
rarely entertaining, and added to Mr.
Lamb's reputation as a Masonic orator
and man of culture. At its conclusion
an ovation by way of applause and con
gratulations from the brethren was ex
tended to the speaker. His address was
referred to a committee and ordered
published in the Grand Lodge proceed
ings.
At 9.30 o'clock after the visors re

North Carolina Collectors.
The Washington correspondent of the
Richmond Times savs:
At Albemarle. N. C. (Edenton) the
term of the incumbent, Mr. R. R. Pen
dleton, expires on September 80. 1896,
and at Wilmington. Collector John C.
Dancy hopes to be able to hold on until
April 9, 1895, but as strong protests
against his doing so have been filed with
the Secretary , of the Treasury the
chances are that the port of Wilmington
villi have a new collector early in the
present year.
