the possibility of bringing the conta-

to nervous strain from overwork; for
surely Muller should have been aware
that II Is almost impossible to trans

no risks. Indeed. he only wrote to

Ibbetsen. a well known pathologist and
a rising man did not yield so readily

first batch of cholera victims. He was
skillfully and chivalrously attended to

himself up in the house, and saw no

strange and cowardly. Miss Brentwich

The crop Of corn promises to be the
largest ever known, and Is almost out OF
harms way. The crop OF wheat appears
from later accounts perhaps 100000
bushels less than was expected a month
ago. The general advance In many pro-
ducts also causes reluctance to purchase
and the distribution Of the past half
year has been in part 10 make up for
stocks and individual supplies depleted
during the TWO years OF economy. On
the other hand there has been an enor-
nous increase IN the working force and
considerable increase In wages paid,
which enable people 10 buy more freely.
Strikes of some Importance appear. but
do not yet threaten to last long. though
a strike of coal miners may for time
affect business somewhat extensively.
For the first time since the rise in the
price OF iron products began. there has
been some concessions 10 retain business
and efforts OF new works 10 get orders
tend 10 check the advance. In spite OF
this the general average OF prices Is a
shade higher, bar having risen relatively
more than mill iron has declined. The
market for pig Is quiet and on the whole
remarka bly, strong. with the prospect OF
an Increased output. Finished products
are generally strong with more demand

an oligarchy. and the idea Of a republic
on such lines is laughed at. II is not
popular. and Its safety is menaced as
IL stands. The great masses have no
voice except in election Of the lower
house. The senate is elected by the
property holders who represent but a
few thousand people. and may OF them
