high prices ruling for English iron. Not
withstanding the large scale ON which iron
making Is carried on In England, and the
advantages of machinery and appliances,
this handmade iron from Japan Is i'm

English iron.
Basket making is one Of the industries
of Appleton, Mich. A factory erected
there last year made, up TO January first,
over 100000 corn baskets. One hundred
hands are employed, and they can make
an average of "A basket "A minute. They
also have a saw-mill which cuts up their
hard wood into splits, with "A capacity Of
100000 feet per week. A large chair and
bedstead factory Is near the basket
factory. Water-power is used; sixty
men are employed, and they expect
TO make this year 10000 chairs and 10000
bedsteads. There are also in Appleton

Chief Justiceship OF the Supreme Court OF the

The Judge was good enough to express the most
friendly feelings towards the HERALD, but evinced
great reluctance to have his appear In print.
"But, Judge" said the reporter, "the gentlemen

define the qualifications necessary for the presd-

There is no material change to note in busl-
ness matters during the past week, Trade has
been rather quiet in all branches OF trade for this
season OF the year. The bad roads and unplcas
ant weather has prevented in measure the
marketing of country produce. The improved
price for all kinds of produce will undoubtedly
make trade very good soon as the roads gel
into good condition.
In money matters the situation is about the
same The banks coniine their accommodations
