during the past six years from 16 cents
to 20 cents pound. That is the price
for MANILA Sisal is always about 2
cents less. 1t has not risen because of
any trust, but from purely natural
causes. To begin with, the demand for
harvesting purposes has increased very
much faster than the supply. Secondly
the export to distant countries is much
greater than it ever was before, and,
thirdly, the enormous increase in ship
building, both in this country and in
England, has materially increased the
consumption. 1t is used extensively in
ship-rigging, and although the ship
builders are more seriously affected by
it than the farmers there is great
activity on the Clyde and other parts
of Great Britain. They are building
more ships in Maine than they have for
twenty years. and it is estimated that a
hundred new vessels will be set afloat
on the great lakes this summer. Imay
add that our enormous grain produe-
tion is chiefly responsible for this, be-
cause the wheat must be shipped. of
course, after it has been cut and
bound
The National Cordage Company pub
lished letter in the Carroll (Ia.) Herald
in July last year on the subject and
among other things says:
1t is quite true that the makers of
Irvine from these MANILA and sisal
fibers for the first year or two were en-
abled to sell their product ut good but
not exorbitant prices, although it is
quite as true that most of these profits
were absorbed by the very machinery
which made them possible. The bust
ness men of this country, not being slow
to discover any interest promising good
returns. quickly built mills and en-
barked in this business, not only in the
East, but West, and on the Pacific
coast. The usual result has followed.
After say two or three years of success
and Notwithstanding yearly increase
i'll demand of from three to five thous-
and tons on an average harvest, there
are now enough spindles in the United
States adapted to this industry, to make
all the Irvine that is wanted, if running
not over SIX months in the year.
Many efforts have been made with
varying success, at combinations to
limit production and control prices, but
no organized Trust" as this term is
usually understood to mean, is in exis-
tence. The business is open to any
who wish to engage in it; there are no
patents on the machinery; and, we will
add, there are A No. l well-equipped

There is more Catarrh in this section

years was supposed to he ineurable.

proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires constitu-

In their endeavor to tight the

farmers are suggesting boycotting, .
not very economical means to that end.

while the mems wages and board could

Irvine amounting to seven and one half
cents an acre, Nobody likes TO pay
more for 4 thing than it is worth but is

Men and Gloves.

The American has no time to wear gloves
unless for the purpose of keeping his hands
warm. Even the gentleman out for
walk will carry his gloves in one hand when
the air is warm. There are too many men
in a hurry TO permit the glove-wearer 10 be
as frequent sight as the bare-handed man.
Men are careless, too, aud others have
white, tapering fingers that they want to
show, or they wear big rings that will not
let a glove go over them, while other men
have to wash their hands so often that
gloves would be a nuisance to them. So
ciety plays and society novels always make
their gentlemen fulfill all the requirements
