Advices from Ireland on distress and Canal Company news

Reports from Washington describe Ireland as facing widespread poverty in agricultural districts while not in extreme distress overall. Florida Ship Canal Company was formed with ex-Governor Brown as president and William Windom as vice president, projected at 30 million dollars and a three year completion. President Arthur named John Jay Knox acting Internal Revenue Commissioner for ten days. Agricultural data show a 77 million bushel winter and spring wheat shortfall nationally, concentrated in New York, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, and Missouri. Charles Lyman named Chief Examiner under Civil Service. Weekly business failures totaled 156 nationwide, with regional counts. Promotions in the Navy include Shufeldt to rear admiral and Fillebrown to commodore. Arlington National Cemetery title cleared. $150,000 Congress appropriation paid to General Lee heirs. Silver dollar production and clearing-house exchanges show improved but still lower year over year.
