WAITING ON THE TARIFF.
Men in the Industries Lying Low
Until Congress Acts.
Cotton a Shade Lower on Account
of Heavy Receipts from the Planta
tions Cotton Mills More Active,
Because of an Absolute Need for
Goods Domestic Exports Going to
Balance American Loans in Europe.
New York, Dec. I.—K. G. Dun & Co's,
weekly review of trade to-morrow will
9:1 v :
• It cannot be said that business during
the past week has grown better or worse.
>\>r some days the gain in demand and in
transactions which had been previously
noticed evidently continued. But after
wards tariff uncertainties were thought
to affect some branches of business, and
whatever the causes, the state of trade
was less clear. Money was everywhere
abundant, w ith rates comparatively low,
and the commercial demand was remark
#
lative uses appeared to be increasing.
“Reports of different branches of trade
and from different cities frequently
mention tariff uncertainties as a cause of
natural hesitancy, but it will take some
time to determine whether the general
tendency toward improvement has been
checked or to what extent.
COTTON A SHADE LOWER.
“Cotton is a shade lower, as the re
ceipts from the plantations continue to
exceed those of last year. In spite of the
Very positive estimates of a short yield,
the average of the guesses by operators
on the .New Orleans cotton exchange is
over 700,00 ti bales greater than the govern
ment esiimate The stocks of American
cotton in sight are again so large that
they retard any rise in prices.
“The industries are waiting with visi
ble uncertainty regarding the outcome of
legislation, and beliefs that the pending
tariff hill will or will not be passed affect
action as much as the varying judgments
in regard to its effect passed. At present
the industrials show no gain.
"The demand for pig iron is not urgent,
and Bessemer iron is a little lower at
Pittsburg, with no sales of rails at the
combination price, and with slightly
lower prices for some finished products,
and a rather scanty demand for any. It
is questionable whether the working
force employed is larger than it was a
week ago.
COTTON MANCFACTCnE.
“Cotton manufacture enjoys a decided
improvement, because the trade is in ab
solute need of more goods, but there is
hardly and quotable change in prices.
“The vast accumulation of idle money
tends to stimulate speculation, but it is
not a good symptom. It shows a remark
able shrinkage in the volume of trade, and
the reports from all quarters make it
clear that the demand for money is unus
ually light for the season. Kates are ex
ceptionally low here, and this helps to
prevent tho movement of gold, which the
state of foreign trade might now naturally
cause.
DOMESTIC EXTOKTS.
“The domestic exports for four weeks
from New York amount in value to $30,-
112.530. against $29,371,173. while the de
crease in imports is over si s .000,000, or 38
percent, for the four weeks; so that the
excess of exports for the whole country
must be large. But exchange bills against
products are comparatively scarce. No
gold comes this way, and heavy
shipments of silver are made to
Loudon, the price there declining, al
though India is taking more than
last year. Apparently this country is
paying off. with its surplus products, debts
amounting to many millions, which were
effected in Europe to avert great disas
ters last summer. Hence it is that the
condition of the treasury demands atten
tion. with its total cash reserve down to
$90,000,000 and the available gold only
$82.000,000.
“The failures during the past week
numbered 27 \ against 230 for the same
week last year, and in Canada 48 against
33 last year."
LOSSES BT THE HOLIDAY,
Bradstreets to-morrow will say: “The
banks giving a holiday cut into the busi
ness week harshly, when the volume of
general trade is considered, the bank
clearings for this week aggregating fully
17 per o ut. less than last week and 43
per cent, less than the total in the like
week on" year ago that following Thank
sgiving week.
"Re;>orts from some eastern industrial
centers complain of checked operations,
to await the outcome of the proposition to
put into operation anew tariff law within
three months.
“Wool lias reacted from the improve
ment of last week, to wait the outcome of
free wool on March 1."
“Cotton mills in New England are meet
ing the hand to mouth inquiry, but the
Doit* of fabrics is better since the recent
auction at New York, on "which the be
lief rests that bottom prices have been
touched.
Tit APE I.IOIIT AT BALTIMORE.
“Trade in most lines at Baltimore in
November ranged from 3 to 25 per cent,
smaller than a year ago. The closing
year's trade is unfavorable, collections
slower and some orders have been
countermanded. Dry goods deaf rs arc

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1893.
FISHING FOR OCTOPODS.
Canvas "Flies” Make Them Hungry
and Careless.
From the New York Recorder.
Fly-fishing for the octopus is a pleasing
novelty in the gentle art of angling, as
practiced in Puget Sound. Although
this horrid cuttlefish in such high lati
tudes (iocs not attain the monstrous size
it reaches in tropical or even semi-tropi
cal waters, the average weight of those
along the shores of Washington state is
great enough to make the sport both ex
citing and dangerous.
Well named the “devilfish,” this hid
eous marine animal, when hauled upon
deck of the fishing sloop, presented even
when of relatively insignificant propor
tions -say. twenty pounds—an appearance
the reverse of confidence inspiring.
It is easy enough to catch them, and
after you get the hang of the thing, safe
enough to handle them with tackle. The
boat, with only sail enough to keep steer
age way, is guided over spots where the
octopus lies in wait under shelving rock
lor nis prey. As with the sponge fisher
man in southern waters, a headless bar
rel, half submerged in an upright position
is lashed to the bottom of the boat, and a
boatman, thrusting his head into this bar
rel. scans the bottom closely with prac
ticed eye, undistracted by the reflected
glare from the surface of the surrounding
water. With this simple device it is pos
sible to see distinctly objects at consider
able depth.
At a signal from the man on the look
out the boat is brought up into the wind
and held stationary while preparations
are speedily made to hook his octopus
ship. which has been sighted lying on the
bottom, hideous and still, save for a
reaching, swaying movement of one or
more of its arms or feelers. A long sound
ing line is run through a pulley at the end
of a boom swinging over the side, a piece
of stout white canvas is made fast at the
end for a lure, and the fun begins.
Directed by the man in the barrel, the
canvas “fly" is lowered to within a few
feet of the lurking' devish fish and kept
constantly in motion by a series of sharp
jerks, care being taken not to let it come
within reach of the fish while he retains
his position on the bottom, else it would
Vie impossible to tear it loose from its
anchorage, such is the immense strength
exerted by the suction disks with which
its eight arms, or legs, are plentifully
supplied.
The men at the rope are warned by the
watcher of the signs of increasing interest
manifested by the octopus, and when at
last it makes a spring lor the tantaluing
lure and closes its beak-like jaws upon the
piece of rag, strong arms heave in the
line, and the squirming organism, looking
all arms and tentacles, is hoisted to the
end of the outrigged boom.
It is an operation requiring tact,
promptness and skill, for the creature
must not come in contact with the hull
of the boat, to which it would attach it
self like an unwieldy barnacle until such
time as it suited its pleasure to let go. a
period altogether indefinite for the com
fort of either skipper or crew.
Once dangling at the boom end, how
ever, it is virtually secured, for surren
der its hold on the rag it will not. Tho
octopus holds fast to all it gets with a
pertinacity which shames even the trusts
and monopolies which have been
likened to it. Now, however, the ani
mal's own tenacity is turned against it,
and this very quality madento cassist in
landing its possessor at the final stage.
Boat hooks and poles are thrust toward
it. and when it has fastened its unrelax
ing grip upon these it is swung inboard,
hurled upon the deck and dispatched
with an ax.
No description can give an idea of the
hideousness of this creature. To grasp it
in its fullest detail one must watch it at
such a time as this, as it sprawls about
the deck before receiving the coup de
grace, its eight, sometimes ten, arms
sprouting about its head, each equipped
on the underside with rows of cup-like
suctorial disks, which by muscular action
produce a vacuum, giving the fish Its
wonderful adhesivo power, writhing
hither and thither like a coil of serpents.
Then its eyes! Ugh! The awfulness of
those eyes; great, rolling, saucer-like
protuberances that tix you with a tierce
stare that sends the cold shivers down
your back, especially when you notice the
cruel mouth, with curved, beak-like jaws,
for all the world like a parrot's many
times magnified. When the ax sinks into
the grisly body and the twining arms be
come still you feel as the blue-water
sailor feels when he dispatches a shark—
that you have done a good action.
They are well named devilfish, this
species of the cuttle family, to appreciate
which it is only necessary to have seen
one of the monsters of the southern seas.
There are well authenticated instances of
specimens weighing 500 pounds and
measuring fifteen feet from head to tail
and fifty feet in spread of tentacles.
While such gigantic specimens are never
seen outside of the tropics, this fish grows
to no mean dimensions along the western
and southern coast of Florida, and many
stories of strange adventuref with the
octopus are told by the fishermen and
sponge hunters of that region. That even
the smaller ones are ugly customers to
fool with this incident will show.
A shell gatherer, while at work on the
west coast came upon a young octopus
crawling among the rocks. It was quite
small, measuring not more than three feet
from tip to tip of its extended tentacles,
while its body was no larger than a man's
fist. It looked like a very big spider as it
wabblc.l alongonitsanns, trying to reach
the surf from the part where it bad been
left by the receding tide, and the shell
hunter thought he would tr.v to capture
it. Running up he planted his foot firmly
on the end of one of the creature's "feei-
ers,” but with apparent ease the ootopus
pulled it free and continued its march
toward the sea. The man repeated the
experiment several times with no better
success, then taking advantage of a mo
ment when the creature could offer com
paratively little resistance, it Deing in
the act of reaching out to lay hold of a
rock on the other side of an intervening
fissure, he seized one of the tentacles, and,
giving a powerful jerk tore the fish loose
from the rock.
Up to this time the efforts of the octo
pus had all been directed to escaping.
Now. however, it changed its tactics.
Turning upon its pursuer, it laid hold of
bun by the arm. wrapping its tenacles
about his body as well, and tried to fasten
its beak-like jaws in his face.
Here was a predicament. The hunter
hunted with a vengeance. Try as he
would, the man could not shake off the
creature, which clung to him with a
clammy, vise-like grip, but. by a liberal
use of a store club, he saved himself from
being bitten until his cries for assistance
brought friends to the scene, who killed
tlie fish with a knife.
The Eclectic Medical Journal says that in
the continued use of the eyes in such work as
sewing, typesetting, bookkeeping, reading and
studying the saving point is looking up from
the work at short intervals and looking
around the room. This may tie practiced
every ten or fifteen minutes. This relieves
the muscular tension, rests the eyes and
makes the blood supply much better.
