Some time ago a leading Washington newspaper set forth, at infinite pains, an elaborate and seemingly formidable array of statistics going to show that our reciprocity treaty would not assist, ' American manufacturers in their efforts t» to establish themselves in Brazilian markets. These figures afl'orded the free trade journals of the United States opportunity for abundant rejoicing, but, judging from some recent utter- ances of leading English newspapers, English manufacturers generally are , not in very hearty accord with this sen- timent, and as they are our greatest ri— vals in the Seuth American trade, their views count for a great deal. The alarm shown by Englishmen over the probable consequences of the Brazilian treaty finds a significant ex- pression in the following from a recent issue of the Manchester (England) Guar- dian: By this treatyAmerican cotton goods are admitted into Brazil at .a reduction of 25 per cent. on the duties paid on the same goods imported from other countries. As the duties lev1ed by Bra- zil amount on an average to fully 100 per cent. on their original Manchester value when the exchange is at par, their payment in gold at present means near- ly another 50~ per cent.—equal to 150 per cent. It follows that the 25 per cent. is practically 37:} per cent. on the first cost in favor of American goods. By a further fall of the exchange this might easily be raised to 50 per cent., and such a fall is by no means improb- able. The Lancashire people should under- stand what this means to their trade. At the present rate of. exchange of, about 10 pence, equal to 1 milreis— American goods will'have the follow- ing advantages over ours : On printed cottons, 10 shillings and over per' lump Of 125 yards; on Oxfords, ginghams, regattas, etc., 1 penny per yard and over ; on bleached cottons, 2 shillings 9 pence and over per piece of 40 yards. Every fall Of the exchange W111 increase this advantage. That our industry can- not possibly compete against such Odds is clear, and our exports to Braz11, amounting now to over £7,700,000 per annum, will soon show people different figures. T hose who so persistently expressed the opinion and hope that reciprocity with Brazil would not '-benefit New England manufacturers are requested to read the last sentence of the above candid confession on the part of one of their most influential journals. Such testimony from- the center of Great Britain’s manufacturing industries is Conclusive evidence that Englandis be- coming alarmed at the. prospect” of the United States capturing the trade Of South America. __.__—-_‘.. >..- _. __ FINANCIAL AND CORIMERCIAL.

BARNUM LAID T0 REST. . The Funeral Services Over the Great Showman’s Remains. ,A VERY SIMPLE CEREMONY. In Accordance with the Desires of the Noted Philanthropist There Was No Temp Ceremony. Bridgeport in Mourning. 01' _ BRIDGEPORTUCODH. ,1 April D..—Business here Friday was almost entirely suspended out of respect t9 the memory of Bridge port’s great benefactor, the late P. T. Bar- num. Mourning emblems were to be seen on all sides, and the day was oneof gloom and sorrow. . At an early hour the streets were filled with people, nOt only of this city, but from the surrounding towns and cities, who had been drawn thither to witness the findl scenes in connection with the great philan- thropist and showman. . .. > As the hour for the funeral 'COrtege to move drew near, the people began to gather along the proposed route of the funeral procession, while others hastened in the direction of the. South Congregational church, where the services were to be per-y formed, ‘ In a short while the sacred edifice was packed to suffocation. Thousands had to be turned away. Only a few were admit- ted to the family residence to view the re- mains of the dead showman. _ The remains were arrayed in a full dress suit of broadcloth, turn down collar and white tie, and rested in a cedar casket covered in black broadcloth. The trim- mings were gorgeous, while the handles were of oxidized silver. On a silver plate was the inscription: “Phineas T. Barnum, born July 5, 1810, died April 7, 1891.” In accordance, with the request of the deceased the funeral services were very simple. At Marina a short service of prayer was held at 1:30 p. m. The service at the house was strictly pri- vate. Only the members of the family were present. At the conclusion of this service. the body was placed in the hearse and the funeral cortege started for the church, where the public services were held at 2 O’clock. The services at the church were very solemn, and were conducted by the Rev. L. B. Fisher. A quartet beautifully reu- dered the two hymns selected by the de- ceased when in life. The nineteenth Psalm followed, after which the entire audience joined in the Lord’s prayer. . A touching address was then delivered ‘ by the Rev. Dr. Collyer, of New York. He referred to the deceased as his life long friend, and reviewed several of his benevo- lent acts. The services at the church closed with the hymn, “It Singeth Low in Every Heart.” In this all present joined. There were innumerable floral pieces sent by a number .of friends from far and near. At the grave thousands had gath- ered to see the remains laid away. The services here were brief. Rev. L. B. Fisher read the committal services of the church, after which he Offered the usual prayer and benediction. The Pan-American Congress. WASHINGTON, April 11.—The pan—Amer- ican congress delegates began the day by calling on President Harrison. They were introduced to the president by Judge Will- iam H.1Arnoux, of New ,York, who made a brief address. After shaking hands with the delegates the president made a. very appropriate addresS expressing his sympathy with the movement. He could not, he said, speak Officially with— out the , authority of congress, but his mind was in sympathy with all move- ments in the direction of human rights. Nations were getting to understand each other better; communications were better, and sympathy between people was grow- ing greater. The president concluded his remarks by wishing the congress every success. The delegates left the White House and proceeded to the Arlington hotel, where the congress went into ses- sion.
