AN OLD LADY'S PROPHECY.
The Seventeen Year Locusts and Boy Babies
a Sure Sign of War.


Sure Sign of War.
met an interesting old lady in one
of the Hudson river cities recently. She
was in her ninety third year and was
much interested in a telegram which re-
ported that farmers in the vicinity of
Nyack were plowing up thousands of
II year locusts in the grub form, the
first appearance of these insects, it was
stated, since 1877. Giving her specta-
cles little nudge, the old lady looked
up from her paper and exclaimed:
"Herel That means warl In 1860 fiocks
of these locusts-great big, clumsy things
were found all over the country, and
on the wing of every one of them could
be plainly seen the letter wv. The great
war of the rebellion followed. l tell
you We'll have war either here or in
Europe if those critters come around
again.
"Another sure sign, she added, ''is
the fact that all the babies this year are
boys. read in an old history when l
was a little girl that in the days Of
Rome's supremacy the approach of war
was always plainly indicated by the
great birth rate of male children. Look
out for stormy times" said the old
lady, as she gave her spectacles another
nudge New York Mail and Express.

FINANCE AND TRADE.
Prospects More Hopeful for the
Coming Year,
WEST BOUND SHIPMENTS LARGER

While the Wrges Of Labor DO Not Al.
vance, There I7 Reason TO Expect the
Employment Of "a Larger Working Force
After tho Holidays.
NEW YORK. Dec S.--R G. Dun g. Co.'S
weekly review of trade says It is difficult
to detect any change I'm current business
Prospects for business after Jan. ! are
quite generally considered more hopeful
I'm some branches there are larger orders
and thc wostbouud shipments of mcrghan
disc are @ little larger But the working
forces naturally diminished near the end
of the year. and the holiday traffic brings
just now O. temporary activity which is
not of much general significance.
The meeting of congress and the an
nouncemont of the new currency plan, and
Of various bills proposed, have not affected
the situation perccptibly. On the whole,
agricultural products are scarcely stronger
and the wages of labor do not advance,
but there is reason to expect the employ
ment of % somewhat larger working force
after the holidays
The iron industry seems to have dis
tinctly bughtcrp prospects at Chicago, where
pig iron is firmcr and bar i'm larger de-
mand because of orders for freight cars.
But Bgssgmcr iron has sold at SlO.25 at
Pittsburg, steel rails have been reduced to
$22 there and wire rods and nails are
weaker. Comparison of prices there and
at the east shows the lowest average yet re-
| corded
The failures this week have been 3S5 in
the United States, against 3S5 for the same
week last year, and 40 in Canada, against
! ~ last year.
Bradstrcets' review says: At large,
| eastern cities retail trade has assumed
| characteristics of the holiday season. De-
mand from iobbors is mainly to fill oW
| depleted stocks, and activity is mainly
| among retailers. An encouraging report
! regarding the outlook is received from
! Baltimore, but Boston, Buffalo Pitts.
| burg and Philadelphia announce trade
| quiet, with the volume for November less
| than i'm 1898. Exceptional quiet lis re
! ported ot Buffalo, duoin large part to the
! close of lako navigation, and more cm-
! ployo5 are idle thoro than previously.
| Al thoa5uth there isa sasoasouah'o activity
| i'm the staple goods, with % moderate im-
| provameut ar Nashville, Chattanooga, Sa-
! vanuah, Augusta and Jacksonville.
| Among central western Cities Cleveland
| and Cincinnati are exceptional i'm rupurU-
| ing moderate gains in demand i'm "a igw
| lines, and at the FIRST named from mmu-
| facturors, North of Kansas City and dwuaJ
/ of Chicago trade reports are less favorable
because of unreasonable open weather.

LONDON, Dec. S.--The correspondent of
The Times at Shanghai telegraphs that
Japan never treated the American offer of
mediation seriously. Chinas direct ap-
peal, the correspondent adds, was futile.
Japan intends to attack Kin Choo, a town
of Manchuria, eight miles from the north
shore Of the Gulf of Liantung, avoiding
an attack of Moukden.

DR., Won Halle was one Of the German
commissioners at the Worlds Fair and
devoted considerable time to the inves-
tigauon OF trusts and combines, upon
which he has made an extensive report,
which has been published in Germany
and VIII shortly be made public in this
country. He draws the conclusion
from his investigation of these trusts
and combines that they cannot be sup
pressed and that the only way to deal
with them is by regulation. through
commissions which shall have fun
power over them, as railroad commits
slons In several instances have. He did
not discuss this question at any length,
stating that his Views would shortly be
made public.
One thing observe here" he said,
is the great prevalence OF political ex-
element and interest, people constant
ly going away from their farms to po-
litical meetings and leaving their farms
to be robbed or abused by incompetent
negroes or other help. II seems TO me
that Texas farmers need TO study prac-
tlcal economics more and elections and
ante-election matters less There Is
vast room for improvement in the
farming methods Of the people here and
wonderful development capable OF be-
ing brought about by Intelligent FARM
lng and the application OF practical
farming methods on the whole. l am
delighted with Texas"
II is stated that DIR. Won Halle is an
official Of the German government, but
on this point he avoids statement.
