IN GENERAL.

Grand Army broke camp after selecting San Francisco as place of next meeting. The Hague arbitration court reached a unanimous decision in the Pious fund ease condemning Mexico to pnv the United States $1,420,682.07. Secretary of Navy Moody, in address nt Madison, Wis., said 07 cents a ton duty on anthracite was smuggled into Dingley bill and ought to be repealed by Congress tins winter. Dun & Co.’s review reported costly fuel may soon force manufacturers to raise prices; New England cotton mills ure preparing to shut down; railroad earnings for September gained 0.4 per cei4 over 1901. The practical effect of Secretary Shaw’s recent instructions to collectors of ports and other customs officers to facilitate as much ns possible the importation of coal nt the present time will be to admit Welsh bard coal free of customs duties. The Canadian government has decided to carry free for an indefinite period over the Intercolonial Hail way, the government road which extends from Sydney, O. 8., and Halifax to Montreal, all Nova Scotia coal purchased by municipal bodies for sale to householders nt cost. J. P. Morgan visited President Roosevelt, and on behalf of the coal operators agreed to submit differences with anthracite miners to arbitration by a commission to be named by the President. As this proposal was originally made by John Mitchell nnd is agreeable to the strikers, an end of the struggle is in sight. Prince Chowfo Aluhn Vajlravudh, the crown prince of Slam, nrrived in New York on the steamer Fucrat Bismarck from Southampton nnd Cherbourg. Ho was met by Herbert 11. I). Peirce, ibird Assistant Secretary of State, nnd D. 11. Sickles of New York, formerly consul general nt Bangkok, Presi. dent Roosevelt, nnd Edyin V. Morgan of the State Department. \ At the conference of representative, of lumber association in Atlanta, Gn., pWlimlnnriea for the organization of what promises to prove the largest combination of lumber manufacturers in the world were arranged. A call lias been issued for a meeting of lumbermen in St. Ixmls, Mo., Dec. 0 and 10, nt which time n national association will be formed, with members from every part of the United States. Those who attended the conference just closed represented nn annual output of 5,500.000,000 feet of lumber.

COMMEPCIAL AND FINANCIAL

Tj „ . | “Favorable symptoma N6Y York. I Bt ‘" predominate, and the ■ ' * business outlook is enc >nraging despite the adverse factors of labor controversies, fuel shortage and tight money. That these drawbacks have not seriously checked Industrial progress testifies to the strong position attained during recent months of uninterrupted activity and growing confidence. Manufacturing plants dependent upon steam for motive power are finding profits curtailed by the high prices for fuel, and unless normal conditions are soon restored it will bo necessary to secure better quotations for products.” The foregoing is from the Weekly Trade Review of R. G. Dun & Co. It continues: The problem of adequate transportation is also disturbing, as there is already congestion in the coke region. When anthracite coal mining is fully resumed and grain shipments attain expected dimensions the railroads will find great difficulty in meeting all requirements, despite vigorous efforts to increase facilities. Railway earnings in Reptember were 9.4 per cent larger than last year and 20.2 per cent in excess of 1900. Dun’s index number of commodity prices proportioned to consumption was $100,648 on Oet. 1, an advance of 4.1 per cent compared with the position on Bept. 1. tl is certain that all records of pig iron production would be far surpassed if coke could be obtained, even at the exceptionally high prices now prevailing. Hence reports of active furnaces measure the available supply of coke rather than the demand for pig iron. Imports continue on a liberalscule, although new rulings as to tariff rates checked arrivals of steel billets. Railway equipment is still the most active feature of the market, carshops seeking material, while orders are placed for far distant delivery because early shipments are impossible. High premiums are offered for locomotives, but works have their books filled well into next year. Last week's reduction in prices of shoets and wire have not been followed by any weakness in other branches of the trade, wliile an improved demand is reported in the lines making concessions. The monetary situation C[]jCa(Jo. shows improvement as eom- _ pared with conditions ruling recently, but the money stringency has by no means passed, and higli rates have ruled again this week in the East. It is true there is no scarcity of money in tlie West, and that the western banks have abundant funds for all purposes. But these western banks have been drawing down their eastern reserves and it is predicted that the return flow of money to New Y’ork will be later this year than usual. There are some different features tliis year to the western situation, an illustration of which is found in the Southwest and central West. There the com crop failed last year and in many localities hogs nud cattle were rushed to market, as feedstuffs had advanced to abnormally high prices. This year there is oue of the largest corn crops the country has ever produced, probably one-half of which will be fed to stock. It is a reasonable supposition that farmers who cleaned out their establishments last year, will now restock and there will be late demand for money for this purpose which the banks must supply. The movement of so much of this com as will be marketed will be under way early in November, which will mean a heavily increased railway tonnage, and that which remains on the farms will make heavy live stock shipments some months later. This means good business for the banks and railroads, increased activity in all business lines and finally cheaper meats for the people. And it also foreshadows the car famine slowly creeping upon the railroads of the West. Of ail sections of the country the Northwest leads in the enjoyment of prosperity unalloyed, and business activity unimpaired by anything of an unfavorable nature if we except the handicap occasioned by the inability of the railroads to move rapidly the immense tonnage offered them.

GROWING OF TREES-

& System Which Has Proved of Much Benefit. On our up-to-date farm we set out *arly to do what little we could toward keeping the wooded part of the place Intact. We began by Betting out a few trees every spring. The first were set tome twelve years ago, along the roadaide, and to-day they are fine tree* large enough to cast quite a shadow. Some of those near the house look beautiful now. They are all sugar maples. They grow a little slower than any other, perhaps, but they are the best tree for shade that we have. Then, too, when we have been clearing up brush lots in the pasture we have left every hard maple and ash and chestnut It has been understood that every such tree Is sacred. No de* stroylng ax was to be touched to it, unless to trim it up and make it more beautiful. The result la we have a nice row of maples along the highway and about the house. They are a source of pleasure to us all. Not only that, they do a little toward keeping the climate of our country healthful and lessen the danger from floods. Every farmer ought to do something In this direction. If he cuts down a tree he ought to set out another one. Work he never will get any benefit from, do you say? How much such work we must do first and last! A large part of the farmer's work Is for the future. He never knows who will reap where he sows. To-morrow some new man may come to take up the work where he laid it down. All right Benefactors know they never can eat the fruit of all their labor. The farmers are the world’s greatest benefactors. They ougbt not to stay their hands from planting trees that others may sit under their shadow.—Up-to-Date Farming.

Helen Moon's Case.

New Providence, la., Oct. 13th.— The wonderful case of little 3-year-old Helen Moon continues to be the talk of the neighborhood and everyone is rejoicing with Mr. and Mrs. E. V. Moon, the happy father and mother. It will be remembered that this sweet little girl was given up by the doctors with Dropsy. She was so far gone that her eyes were closed up and her body bloated till It was purple. After everything else had failed Dodd’s Kidney Pills were used, and to the joy and surprise of everyone she commenced to improve. This improvement resulted in complete good health and she continues to keep strong and well and without the •lightest symptom of the Dropsy left. The doctors are as much bewildered as anyone at the wonderful cure of this desperate case.

Shocking
