The Argentine Republic has now almost twice as many miles of railroad as any other country on the continent. Bra zil has nearly 4,000 miles, Chili has 1,- 200 miles and Peru about as much track, but a. portion of it is not in op eration, owing to the general depres sion in that country since the war with Chili. There is already one Hoe which ex tends from Buenos Ayres to the boun dary line of Chili, and there has: been a hope that the government of that Republic would eithei build up to it or permit some private corporation to do so. But the recent actiorfff the Con gress of Chili indicates that the gap of 140 miles which still exists between the two oceans west of the Cordilleras, and is now crossed ou muleback, would remain. There appears to be a decided opposition in Chili to the construction of this road, on the supposition that if would cause much of the merchandise now ' shipped aronnd through the Straits of Magellan to enter at the port of Buenos Ayres, and thus rob Valparaiso of its commercial prestige. The Argentine government has grant ed a eoueession to a company fo con struct another trans-continental line, stretching from Bahia Blanca, a port 200 miles south of Buenos Ayres, where our scientists observed the last transit of Venus, to the port of Talcahuana, Chili, on the Pacific coast, where ate extensive coal mines. The govrn meut guarantees a dividend of six per cent, on the actual cost of the road for twenty years, aud gives a generous grant of the public domain.

In 1SS6 the imports were $llo.485,3SS, the greater part of which is manufactured merchandise,includiu a large amount of supplies tor railway construction. The enormous iccreasfe in the foreign trade during the Last few years is phe romenal. In 1S7S, ten years ago, the imports were only $30,070,022, having more than trebled in ten years. In 1S80 they were $-t5,535,S80, showing that they have more than doubled in five years, in 1SS3 they were $9o,8G2,G33, showing an increase of over $20,000,000 in one year, i About one third of these irupoits were furnished by England, and an average of nearly one steamer per day arrived from 'England at the port of Buenos Ayres. There is not a European port of any importance, either, on the Atlantic or the Mediter ranean, which does not have direct and regular steamship communication with the city of Buenos Ayres and Montevideo the capital of ;UragUiiy, which lies across the River Plate. it THE STABii AXD STUPES NOWIIERE". Not one steamer from the Xuited States arrived at either port last year, and what imports there were came in sailing vessels or by way of Europe. Most of the imports from the United States consisted; of railway supplies, lumber, petroleum and agricultural machinery, j" The people prefer Ameri can ears and locomotives "to those of the English pattern and Pullman sleeping caifs are used on several of the roads;, but; of ordinary merchandise nothing is i purchased in tho United States that pan be bought elsewheie, the European steamship companies, which control the transportation facil ities, making such rates that even those merchants who desire to trade in the United States are unable to do so. The erowing popularity of t.ie agri cultural machinery made in this coun try is shown by the largely increased sales, aitd scveral shiploads were sent from New;York and Baltimore. The people of the Argentine Republic are paying moire attention to the develop ment of the agricultural resources of the country, and by liberal land laws the government is inducing immi grants to settle in the interior. The im migration is also increasing very rapid ly, the arrivals in 1885 being in excess of 125,000, mostly from Italy and the Basque provinces of Spain, with a few Germans and Swiss. The number of arrivals iri j 1882, was ,51,503 ; in 1883, 03,242; in (1S84, 92,700; and in 1885, 110,200. A large number of English, Irish and Scotch companies, with enor mous capital, are going into the inte rior and establishing ranches, while others are; engaging in the business of expoi-tiug dressed beef and mutton to Europe. ! This, business is becoming very extensive and profitable, and the competition of the Argentines will be seriously felt by our ranchmen in a few years. The first carcass of dressed beef wa-: shipped to Liverpool as an experiment in 1877. Now theie are five eompauies engaged , in the busi ness, withia capital of nearly 12,000, 000 of dollars, and two lines of refrig erator ships ruuning regularly. The shipments; of dressed beef and mutton during the first nine of the twelve iionths are $7,250,000 RAILROAD EXTENSION. of the pampas accessible, but because it will afford the Argentines a chance at the fuel deposits of Chili. SEARCHING FOR COAL, At present all the coal used in the country or by ships entering the har bor has to be brought around ihe Straits of Magelleu, a distance of 5, 000 miles, or from Europe. But it is expected that the government of CEili will refuse to concur in the concession, even to the extent of refusing permis sion for the construction of the road, for the same reason that it objects to the other trans-continental line. The jealousy of the Chilians for the Argen tines is very bitter. But it looks tiZ if the latter nation would soon be able to do without Chil ian coal, for under an offer of a prize of $25,000 cash, scientific men have been scouring the .ountry for deposits of coal, and are said to have found arge beds in the northern part of the Republic. The Depaitinent of Public Works, which has had the direction of the explorations, is so well satisfied of the genuineness of the discovery tnat the prize has been awarded and opeia tions to develop the mine havei been commenced. The railroad . which ex tends northward toward iiolivia, ana is intended to penetrate to the centre of that republic and give access to the wonderful mines there, is progressing rapidly, and wrill probably reach' the Argentine boundary line during the present year. The government of Bo- j ivia has made a liberal concession of V 1 money and land for the extension of the road, but there does not seem to be sufficient confidence in its ability to pay the guarantee. The country has been suffering, like Peru, from the results of the war with Chili, but of late is pickiug up, and the concession is a valuable one. POPULATION AND FINANCES. ; Although the Argentine Republic has only four million . population and the city ot Bueuqs Ayres but four hundred thousand people, the aggre gate capital engaged in banking is $116,000,000. There are eight banks with more $5,000,000 capital, and the bank of the province is larger in the amount of its capital, its deposits, its loans and discounts than anj- other in stitution of its kind m the woi Id. ex cept the Bank ol England and one bank in Paris. Its capital paid up is $34,436,280; its circulation ,$65,403,000; its loans and discounts, $67,000,000, and its gold leserve, $12,403,000. The Banco National has a capital of $20, 000,000, with a circulation of $39,000.- 000, and a gold reserve of $9,903j000, The national government guarantees the circulation of the last named bank. - .' Altogether, the statistics which Se nor Quesada has received show that the last year was the most prosperous It was bare'y 7:30 oclock last Friday morning, when Major W. W. Arm strong, ex-editor of the Plain Dealer, now postmaster, entered the postmas ter's private office in the government building. His usually placid brow was corrugated, and in bis eye there was a gleam which betokened some inward agitation. ; r "It's shameful, shameful," said he, as he removed nat ana gloves ana hung his overcoat over the back of chair. ; M Supt. Molyneux, who was nervous ly dusting off the desks and mantel with a large feather duster, trembled visibly. " ! 'Nothing has gone wrong, Yonr Maj- ty!" . ' Wrong!" ejaculated the- Major, bringing down his fist with a thump which made the superintendent jump a foot high. Ifs all wrong. The der raorahVng effect of a Republican ad ministration was never more clearly demonstrated. Look here," he con tinued, opening the door into the de serted. hall. "Where aie our patrons! Where is that life, that bustle, which should characterize a well conducted business! Why; are not these halls crowded with customers!" "We await Your Majesty's orders," said the Superintendent, bowing low. "We must advertise," said the Ma jor.rubbing his ba-ndstogether,thonght- f ully; "advertising is the life of trade, the Archimedean lever which moves the business world. I know a paper of wide circulation and great influence I have observed that it goes into sev eral families wleose custom we should strive to obtain.! Suppose we insert in this newsprper-r it is called the Plain Dealer, if I mistake not a paid local, calling attention to our stock and fac ilities. In fact, I have already pre pared such an advertisement.'" And the Major drew from his inside pocket a piece of paper, on which appeared the following legend: Eorest City . Hotel . FOREST CITY, N.

The memory of the loss of 200,000 of silver and gold will survive the drowning ot ' 1,000 soals in a covp. TJiere ;was th4 Lut.en, for instance. She was of thitry-two guns, com manded by Captain Skynner, and she went ashore ou the bank of the Fly Island passage on the night'of Octo ber 9, 1780. , At $rst she was reputed to have had 600,000 sterling in specie 00 board. This was afterwards contra dieted bj a' statement that 'the: re turn trom the bullion office makes the whore i amount about 140,000 sterl teg." If," I find in a contemporary accent, "the wreck of the unfortunate Lutien should be discovered, theie may be reason to hope for the recovery of the bullion." ' Jn the reign of James II., soma English adventurers fitted out a vessel to search- for and weigh out the cargo of a iich Spanish ship, which had been- lost on the coast of South America. They succeeded and brought home 300,000, which had been forty yeats at the bottom of the sea. Cap tain PhippB, who commanded, had 20,000 for his share, and the Duke of Albemarle, 90,000. A medal was struck in honor of this event in 1687. 'There was a very eostly wreck in 1767. She was a Dutch East Indiamau, and foundered in a storm within three leagues of the Texel, taking down all hands but six and 500,000. The price of four such armadas as that of 1588 went down in the last century alone, in the shape of gold, silver and plate; She was the annual register ship, as the term then was, and held in her 500,000 pastres, and 10,000 ounces of gold, on account of the king, and twice that sum on the merchants account, making ber a very rich ship. ' She foundered Land no man escaped to tell how and when In the same year the Dutch lost the Antoinetta, an Indiaman, and i with her sank 700,000 sterling, besides jewels of great value. The Royal Charter is the most notable instance of the wreck of a "treasure" ship that I 4a jtist now calLto mind. :'J "J5bJet Australia with 350,000 in ber Of thii sum, says Charles Dickens, in his chapter on this dreadful shipwreck, in the "Uncommercial Traveler," 300, 000 worth were recovered at the time of the novelist's visit to the spot where she." nad driven ashore.
