Business Prospects In New York.

Business Prospects in New York.
The New York Herald says it is
the prevailing opinion among
merchants in the dry goods trad,
that business this fall will be better
than it has been for years. In al
interview with William Libby, the
business head of the house of A
Il. Stewart & CO., that merchant
gave an interesting description OF
the trade, and of the cotton and
wooden manufactures that supplied
it.
ave anticipate a good business
this fall" he said, "and what is
more, the trade is likely to be freer
from speculation than it has been
in many of the past seasons.
don't think there has been any
overproduction in cotton or wooden
fabrics. Prices are on lower plane
than they were last year even, and
there is not much prospect of an
advance. They can only be adj
vanced 10y scarcity of the raw
material, of which there is no in
dication. Low prices will rule
throughout the season. But, as a
rule, / do not believe in low prices.
Every honest man is willing to pay
n fair price to the manufacturer,
and allow fair profit to the mer-
chant. 1t would be well if our
merchants, as q class, learned this.
We need better modes of doing
business, and more honor and fair
dealing in trade. The great curse
from which business suffers in this
country is the constant effort of n
certain class Of merchants to break
down markets. There are so many
fools in business anxious to make
a name by selling goods for less
than they can he made for and for
less than they can buy them, that
it is no wonder honest dealers, try
ing to trade in a legitimate way,
are forced to fail"
"What is the condition of the
manufacturing interest 2" the re-
porter asked. care the mills gen.
orally working on full time Z"
"The wooden mills, / believe
have been running very light this
season. Owing to the fact that the
last winter was an exceedingly
mild one many merchants through
out the country who made heavy
purchases a year ago have still {
large stock on hand, and they ar,
not disposed to buy more good
until the old stock is disposed OF
This condition has to some exten

time the wooden interest has beer

To dream of having great mum.

To dream of bear foretokens mis-
chief, which your vision shows you is
a Bruin.
When a fashionable young lady
dreams of filbert it is a sign that
her thoughts are running upon a
colonel.
To dream that your nose is red at
the tip is an intimation that you had
better leave off brandy and water.
To dream OF milestone about
your neck is sign of what you may
expect if you marry an extravaganza
wife.
IF you dream of clothes it is a
warning not to 60 to law; for, by
the law of contraries, you will be
sure Of non-suit.
To dream of fire is sign that if
you are wise you will see that all the
lights in your house are out before
you 60 to bed.
1t is very lucky to dream that you
pay for a thing twice over, since
afterward you will probably take care
to have all your bills receipted.
For person in unembarrassed cir

IcARIAN COMMUNITY IN IOWA,
Its Reported Failure A Trappist
Colony to be Established in
PENNSYLVANIA.

A letter from Corning, Iowa, to
the Messenger Franco-Americain an
nounces the dissolution of the
Icarian Community in that State. 1t
is reported that an agent of the
Trappists of France is on the way to
Philadelphia, charged with the duty
of purchasing land for the founda-
ton of monastery of that order in
Pennsylvania. From this it would
appear that the most extreme of the
French ascetics are prosperous and
progressive, while an experiment Of
French Socialism is given up as a
failure. The coincidence of these
events offers curious subject Of in
quiry and speculation to the student
of social problems. Three trustees
have been appointed to pind up he
affairs Of Icaria and an IF TT IS
to be made to revive the community,
which is wholly French. sThe-7ns'~
Trappist enterprise is isnttdmedupon
hard work and lives tif seff-deHiai.
The Pennsylvania monastery viii be
the fourth that has been established
in this country, the first Trappist
colony having been founded in Penn
sylvania in 1903, and afterwards re-
moved to Kentucky and Illinois in
1908 and 1909, and finally to Ira
cadie, in Nova Scotia, where it still
exists; the second near Bardstown,
Kentucky, in 1S4S, and the third
near Dubuque, Iowa. The colonists
who take part in the fourth expert
ment are expert workmen in all the
trades, architects, physicians, artists,
dairymen, tanners; all are bound by
their oath to silence and labor; they
will build their own monastery, and
will be in working order early next
year. It is announced that two hun
bred monks are assigned to this SER
vice, drawn from monasteries in
France, Ireland and Turkey, and that
they will be self-supporting from the
start.

THE GRAIN" OF BUTTER.

When the butter has "come." and ap-
pears in little irregular masses, from d pins
head to a large pea in size, is the time to
draw off the buttermilk and wash the but
ter in the churn. This remOves most OF the
buttermilk. After being then gathered and
removed from the churn, worked, washed
and salted on the butter worker, at the
proper temperature, we find upon breaking
it, that it has a granular look. The mass
seems to be made of little particles with a
slightly glistening appearance. This is
called the grain" These small particles
are partially kept apart by films OF water,
CATER sailing, this water becomes brine) and
the peculiar texture thus impaired to the
butter is a test of proper manufacturing
O%ver-churn or over-work it, churn or work
1T at the wrong temperature, and the grain
is gone, never to be restored and with it is
gone a large percentage of the selling value
of the butter. Enough water (brine) must
be retained to produce this appearance,
which distinguishes butter from grease.
Consequently the most perfect grain is OBJ
tanned by washing in the churn before the
butter is gathered.

The COW that is tleshy gives milk that is
richer in butter than the cow that is poor
and thin. One that has reached her full
maturity gives better milk than she did be-
fore she reached that age; a COW that is
gaining flesh day by day gives richer milk
than an a cow that is losing gradually. The
condition OF the pastures have also much to
do with the quality of the production.--Sci-
