CAUSES OF TUB DEPRESSION IN TUB BUSINESS. PhilapklphiaJ Dec 18. E. D. Forrest Bhelton, President of the Phelton Light Hardware Company, of Birmingham.

one of the largest manufacturing establish incut of the East, Is stopping at the Continental Hotel. Speaking of the tnauy failure In the East and. of tbe low price of light hardware, Mr. fjhnlton aahl: The trouble 1 not caused exactly by overproduction, but the real cause of ruinous prices is Uio many men who have gone into the business in tbe last year without knowing ilia actual cost of the article they are producing. Take, for Instance, tack.

Tacks are now being sold by manufacturers SO per cent, below the cost of production ad ths manufacturers are really dividing their capital anioug the trade. For a man to step Into the business uow ami anil lark at current prices Would he as reckless ss attempting to make and all gold dollars lor bit ceuU. TUere Is going to radieal change in a few weeks, and there la to me little doubt that many hardware manufacturer will either fail or give up the business In January. It ta against reason for a business man to make, ell. and ship goods for less than rost.

but that Ss Just what hundreds of manufacturers are doing In New-England. They are Just beginning to 1 see it in that light and I feel confident that when they examine their balance sheet on Jan. 1 they will refuse orders until prices are advanced. In ths past three weeks raw material has gone ap about 10 per cent, but the prion of tacks is unchanged and the nail trade 1 the same, have it on excellent authority that several large establishments will close naxt month for the season. Twelve hundred tack machine can produce all ths necessary tarks for tbe United elates and export trade, and yet there are over twice the number of machine now in operation.

The member of the Eastern Jfau Manufacturer' Association will meet la Boston Deo. 'J7, and there is little doubt among the members thatanadvanee will be made In prions Id order the the oost of the articles may be realized. A number of our largest New-Ingland establishment have already signified their Intention of closing down on the 1st of January, saying that It is utterly Impossible to Manufacture stock for the present u.uotaUona. ffOr AT TBS XA.TAL ACADtUT.

Atj tlie opening tf the Bctchstag to-day Herr inu Kocller, Conserra-tive, proposed that tha ht sitting le fixed for Monday. lie urged the necessity that the Reichstag revise the decisions of the commission, and not adjourn for the holidays until the fate of the military bill Da settled.

An excited debate followed. Tbe nicmbcrs of the Centre and Progressist denied that they were obstructing the passage ef the bil and the Conservative and National liberal speaker Joined In urging that the bill be pushed forward in the face of all opposition. Minister von Boettiebef expressed regret that the bill had no chance to ulvtm-e sufficiently to make possible an Increase of the army at tbe beginning of the new financial year. He said tbe Emperor had confidently expected that the representative of the people would recognize tbe Imperative necessity Of tbe bill In the interest of the security of th country. The Reichstag might still assist the' Government to realise the intentions of the biUJ In the most emphatic and earnest manner he irVed the members to proceed as rapidly as possible with the measure.

The PreMdeot hero prepoeed that the Kri- hs-tag adjourn until the 4th lf January. In-. Wind-thorst moved that the It ousn adjourn until the Tth prox. When a rote Was about to be taken It was found that there Was no quorum, and the President thereupon nie I the 4th of January as the date for tbe next meeting. Despite the defeats in the commission" and the Reichstag the Conservatives are hopeful that a majority of tbe full House will yet be found to support the do-tnsnds of the Corerumrnt In their entirety.

Herr von Boettlcher, in i bis remarks, avoided a threat of dissolution, tbi iiovemment continuing to rely upon the Ultimate consent of tbe Centre to accept the measure in a slightly modified form. 'i In official circles tbe moderation of the Government la ascribed to tb certainty that after the reoe the Centre wiU be found ready to yield, otherwise Prince Bismarck will not delay the dissolution of tbe Reichstag. The 1'rogressist organs iires a desire to appeal to the country. Herr RichtMr's paper say that the dissolution of tbet.RclcbHtag would prove that the situation abroudjnnst have assumed a very peaceful aspect, and that, therefore, there seems to be all the less raiutou for acceding to the full demands of tbe Ueveniniout Tie A'oWA (itrrruin Uaxrtl announce that th Bulgarian delegates will lint be leceived as a deputation, but singly as -private person visiting tbe Foreign Oflleo. i The Reichstag has appointed a commission to consider the motion of k-the Poclallst Deputy Kayser to authorise tb holding of meetings of workingmcn for the consideration of questions affecting salaries or the relations of employed toward tbclr employers.

Herren Lieber, a mcmlier of the Centre, and Pcbrador, a Progressist, supported the Hociullst speakers, while the Conservatives nd the National Lib. erals opposed the motions on the ground that it was designed to strengthen socialist oresnlza-tlons. The commission consists of -21 Deputies, largely member ef the Centre and Progressist parties. The Socialists are hopefnl of success. The Budget Committee, of the Reichstag ba voted 150,000 murk to assist in scientific researches in Cent ral Africa.

It Is reported that Suiperor William has written a long autograph letter to the Ciar, without having consulU-d Prince; Bismarck, urging tbe maintenance of peace arid asking his forbearance from any policy tending to bring about a European war. In bis letter tha Emperor ask tha C.ar to give explicit aasuranee that he will assist in the preservation of peace during hi closing days. Ibe Cr.ar has sent an affectionate response to the Empero, assuring him of hi co-operation. 3 Tbe remarks of Count von Moltke and Gen. von Schellendorff, War til later, on the Austrian Army excited the ire of the Vienna papers, which draw the inference from the general tenor of the debate i in the commission having the Military bill under oonsiduration that the German Government attaches value to tbe Austrian alliance only as a means of lessening the dsuger to Germany should she be attacked by two eoemies at once, or as a check upon Russian Interference while Germany assails France.

In the event of war lictwccu Austria and Russia the former would, be isolated.

Of course this power of taxation la a mere assumption of authority. It is authorized neither by the public treaties nor by tho term of lease from th Chinese Uovornmont Sot one of the treaty powers whose nationality la represented in tha settlement has eminent domain, though all have extraterritoriality.

A crime committed therein by a Chinaman Is amenable to a Chines tribunal Just as a crime committed bya foreigner outside of Its limits I amenable to tbe author! tic of the offender's nationality. The same rule applle with respect to all foreign resident and property owners within the so-called eoucessiou.

Ana yet till IS just wnai it uaa ueeu uu-inir for rears, and nobody raises any objection. The reason Is obvious. It is the only means of providing for sucn improvements as are essential to comfort, convenience, and health. Tho resident Consul of each of the treaty powers is ex officio a member of tbe Municipal Ad-visnrv Knurri.

a hod which corresponds in some respects to our Federal Bonato, and the Dean of tne consular noay is ex ouiuio rreaiuout in mis board. The board usually names some member of tne consular body to sit with a native magistrate, and the mixed court" thus constituted has Jurisdiction iu all petty cnes arising between foreigners and natives within the limits of the settlement." The execution of sentence Is obligatory upon the magistrate of the defendant' nationality, and when disagreement arise tbe case Is usually referred to the Consul representing th foreign litigant aud io the Taotai representing tha native. It tbey cannot agree the case becomes a diplomatle question and is referred to Pekln. The system Is a little com- Heated, but It has been fouud to work well, and here is probably not a more orderly community nor a more efficient and honestly administered municipal Government in the civilized world. The American settlement" Is at tbe northern extremity of tbe quay; the English la uext anove, ana tne rrenca is uu mnucr up iuo river, adjoining the native city.

In each of those section there Is a good hotel, but tbe guests at any one of tbem are usually made uo of ail nationalities. Hence, first impressions of Shanghai are usually received at one of these hotels. Take that in the American settlement for exaiu- le. You sec a massive structure or stone aua rii-k- two stories high and surrounded by a well inmqiDU wwui The word is from India, and 1 merely a corrup tion of the Portuguese campuna. uur nost is an American, who came out here many year a go a a missionary.

At 1 o'clock a well dressed Celestial comes to your apartments, and with all the dignity of a Lord Chancellor announces that "Tifllu have goL" If you hapeu to Impress him as a man of some couscqueuco he will probably change tlio phraseology to, Muster can catches TiWln." The dining hall is a well ventilated, clean, comfortable apartment, with French windows opening upon a wide veranda. The little round tables, each barely large enough to scat four persons, are arranged In throe parallel lines. Altove each of these rows is a loug punkah extending from one end of the hull to the other, Punkah" I another one of those East Indian word that na neen naturauxea in China, and represents a machine for fanning a room. It consists of a movable frame covered will) canvas and ruspendod from the ceiling, it 1 kept In motion by pulling a cord, which parses through a bole In the wall to tha veranda outside. The motive power is a coolie, whose wage for such aerviee never exceed 25 cent Per week.

All the tab lo servauts are Chinese, of course, nnd arc draped in long white cotton or silken gowns. ben tne meal is over inese garments are exchanged for tbe less expensive blue cotton gown. The usual wages for a good dining room servant if $fi per month, With this he will board aud clotlie nimsuic ana save noout sz per mouth. If your visit he In uly or Angust all tho guest will be dressed iu spotless white linen or flannel. The gentlemen wear neither ruffs, shirts, nor cruvat.

Their at; Ire consists of short sack coat, with military collar, buttoned up close to the chin. There Is nothing beneath it save a thin woolen singlet. The trousers are of the sauie material. A pair of white hose and "Oxford ties" complete tbe outfit. In this attire a gentleman may dine out or pay an evening call.

The few ladies present are dn-sscd in the white uniform of the Muinuier solstice," relieved by the usual feminine display of pluk and blue ribbons. Before you is nearly every type of the Caucasian; tho bluff, red-faced Brltou, tbe moon-eyed German, the self-conscious little Frenchman, the Hebrew, and the lank, lynx-eyed Anglo-American. All eat wth the leisurely ulr of well bred people, for even Brother Jonathan seems to be strangely afiected by the atmosphere of the place, and abandons himself to a moment of leisure aud refreshment- Those who smoke have their cheroots served with their coffee after dessert; for here, as all over Europe outside of Euglaod, men never hesitate to smoke in tbe presence of ladle. But neither at the table nor at the cigar stand does auy one oflor to pay down for what- he buys. Tb absence of silver change smaller than tbe bpanish dollar render this iuipractica-, ble.

He is expected to sign a cAtf, and pay at the end of the week or month or quarter, according to his convenience. "Chit" is an abbreviation of a Hindu word, and bnre merely signifies a ticket of indebtedness. When these amount to several dollars the customer is expected to pay up and ask no questions. If he fail to do mo or If he scrutinizes his account too closely lie loses social position. If he gets behind and unable to puy.

It only remains for him to migrate or commit sufcida. Hence, although the moull credit system Is universal, shopkeeper seldom lose a debt, and, as their profits are large, tbey not uu-frequi'utly become quite wealthy. After utnner you will probably be Invited to the club. It ia a massive building that would do credit to Fiftb-avanue. Here, between the hours of 9 and 1-, yon will meet all the principal merchants, bunkers, professional men, and ottluial of the place.

Many of the large tea and silk transactions are negotiated here. The library number several thousand volumes, and the centre tables are covered, with all tha late Eugllnh, French, German, and American periodicals. The barroom 1 quite an elaborate affair and Is well patronized, for bore every one drinks, thongh habitual drunkenness Is causa tor expulsion. There 1 a "club," or something known by that name, at each of the treaty port In China, and It is hardly necessary to add that It la always tbe centre of the local British Influence. Everything about It 1 distinctively English, though its membership 1 often made np of the nationalities of all the flva treaty powers.

No retail merchant (or "shopkeeper'' as be 1 called here) ran ever be admitted to membership. A Cbinaiuaa can never become eligible, no matter what may be hi rank, hi Intellectual attainments, or his material wealth, eome year ago an English shopkeeper" In Hong-Kong attempted to Join the club In that place. He was a man of high character and his Individual check was good fur anything under a hundred thousand taala, (about Bnt ha waa blackballed, and the gentleman who recommended him lost social caste in consequence. Tha proprietor of the leading morning paper there waa. In like manner, black-balled because he was, or rather bad been, a practical printer.

Hla office editor, however, a young graduate of Eton, waa duly admitted. One cannot be In Shanghai long without hearing a great deal about the Babbling Well" and the Bubbling Well road. The road Is the fashionable drive of the city, and the well is universally talked np by tha residenta aa a great physical curiosity. The drive Is about three and a half mile; the road ia a broad macadam, and the team usually a pair of spirited Tartar ponies. But thla is about all there is of It.

The babbling well." whereof you have heard so mnch, ia merely a round hole In the ground, walled np with moss-grown boulders and inclosed by a rustic railing. It depth 1 probably 4 feet. It would indeed ba di moult not to find water at that depth anywhere near SbangaaL The water itself, like that in the neighboring creeks and ditches, la oovered with a dark greenish slime and emits aa offensive odor. But. unlike that in some tha creeks and ditches, it ia never quite at rest.

Tha accumulated gases from tha decayed vegetable matter are constantly escaping through it, and hence tha babbling." If your visit ba ia October, yoo will either have to attend tbe race dairy between 2 and or else remain ia town almost alone. Tbe horses" are little Tartar ponies, ant every one la expected ta bat. and the stakes ara often high. Ia aa plaee in the East, with the possible exception ef Bombay, ia titer aah a caatijiaaa and s.

SLOW PROGRESS MADE BT THE BROOKLYN COURT-MARTIAL. Petty wTangllnga over technicalities nd frequent clearings of the stuffy ltttla room at tha Second Brigade Headquarter on Court-Street, Brooklyn, where a conrt-martial I trying Major J.

Fred Ackerman, of tha Thirteenth Regiment, for Inciting Insubordination and coo-duct unbecoming an officer, delayed last night' session until nsarly midnight. Th room is barely large enough to accommodate tha members of the court, but over 60 people were crowded Into the limited space. The first delay waa eaoaed by the Judge-Advocate, who explained that he had had a 1st dinner at his club, and immediately began tha reading of the testimony taken at the previous session all af wbl has been published. It wa tedious work, occupving over an hour, and at IU conclusion Col. Lamb, one of Major Ackermaa's counsel, obtained permission to ask a few more questions of Lieut.

Smith, af Company who swore to hearing the defandant say he would get "that thing," meaning CoL Feekner, ont of the regiment. He introduced a latter written by the witness ta Mator Acker-man, and wanted to put in tbe answer, but Judge-Advocate Jenks objected, and the court thought the matter so serious that the room was again cleared. In 15 minute the court decided to admit the letter at the proper ttme, whereupon CoL Lamb moved to strike out part 04 Capt. Smith's testimony in regard to alleged conversations with Major Ackerman, and tha room was again cleared. After another delay tbe court decided to reserve its decision, and Lieut.

Henry Clark, of the Thirteenth Regiment, was put on tbe stand, lie was present at the armory at the memorable Inspection of Oct. 10 and saw Major Ackerman there. The Utter said to the witness. Yon must not accept any position on Facknera staff. It will be only for a short time, for he can't be Colonel of the Thirteenth.

It would be elmply military suicide for you to accept any offer from him. I have visited State officers in Albany and Gen. MeLecr. Tbey are ail ou my side, so you seo Fackner will only be in command for a short time." On the night of the election when CoL Fackner waa chosen the witness heard prolonged hisses from an adjoining room. Major Ackerman bad gone into this room Immediately before the vote was announced, but tbe witness would not swear that Major Ackerman did tho biasing.

In response to a telegram from Samuel R. Bullock A tbe following was sent this afternoon by President Hodden and three other members of the Legislative Council: The City Council adopted the report of tbe Committee of Ten, which recommends that the city get the necessary legislation to build its works. Accordingly the proper city efflclsls were ordered to proceed to get said legislation through, which will be done whether any further future contract Is msds with the present company or its successor. Of course if it is established to the satisfaction of the Council that a contract can be mads with the water company that is mors advantageous to tha people than for the city to have the ownership, the foregoing action doe not preclude them tbe Council I from making Barb a trade, bnt the said Con noil will get tbe Legislature to pass such laws ss sre recommended by t)u committee, and will bo prepared tor any emergency."

3. Dr. Wynn Weatcott held an inquiry yes terday relative to the death o( Henry Bplncks Swift, aged 77, who was inventing a valuable Improvement In steam navigation, but who died in most abject poverty at Bishop' Court, Clerk-cnwell, on Sunday. Evidence was given ss to the finding of Mr. Swift dead In hi room, and tr.

P. Morels, who made a post-mortefi examination, said This was in a great measure duo to frlvation. Mr. Thompson, a chemist, of Ball' ond road, said he had known the deceased for year to have been working ut an Invention, and the Christadelphihn religious communl- tv hnri 111 tAf him a small VMiklr allow. ance.

Mr. Lee, tha deceased's landlord, said he hud known tbe old gentleman for J4 or roars. ana auring tne wnoie 01 mat time be bud been engaged in perfecting a patent wnicn was in revolutionize su am navigation giving four time tho ordinary speed and with a quarter the present consumption of fuel. The witness had never been able to see the Invention; Indeed, the deplorable condition in which the deceased and hut room were found was due to the fact that he would admit no one. There was a good deal or correspondence In the room, bowing that the deceased had bad considerable intercourse, verbal and otherwise, with ir Donald Currie aud other large ship owners relative to the Invention.

The deoeased expected 40,000 from the Government for his patent. The witness thought be was somewhat stubborn over the matter, aa he wanted cash before divulging bis invention. A verdict 01 ueatn rrom exhaustion consequent on lung disease and want of food was returned. EYERTTBTXO DRIFTING TO ySW-TORK.

ROBERT BVCBAXAX'8 OFPORTVSITT. From the Fait Mall Gazette. It appear that tha English cemetery at Lisbon is In a state of disgraceful neglect.

Here, as every one know, Henry Fielding is burled, and here, a every one doe not knew, "cartloads of the bones of British soldiers," collected from the battlefields of the Peninsular war, were deposited after 1810. The tomb of Fielding, so a recent visitor writes to the Times, 1 entirely overgrown, and even the inscription ia in places ebUterated. This la certainly net aa it should be, and if the English resident in Lisbon have not sufficient patriotic piety to tend Fielding's tomb It devolves on literary England to see that It be rescued from it present state of neglect. Might not Mr. Robert Buchanan at once advertise "80- Shla" and express his gratitude toward Fielding trimming aad whitewashing his monument a he ha trimmed and whitewashed Tom Jones" I It would be a graceful act of expiation.
