following:
I am able to send you the following
authentic translations of copies of Off

the opinion that the United States
would recognize C.san belligerency, [
reiterate my statement and say fur
Their that if this war is not brought
to a speedy termina ton by granting

DR.. 4. C. True, director of the expert
ment stations in the west and north
west, working under the agricultural de-
partment, finds. as a result Of d recent
tour of inspection, that farmers gener-
ally throughout these sections have be-
gun to appreciate the necessity of a more
diversified agriculture. The rule in the
past hass been to depend almost solely
upon wheat and corn, and the low prices
of these staples, together with drough
and other causes have not only made
profits TO the producer impossible. but
have in many instances left him in debt
ON the cost of production. There is but
one way out of this condition and that is
through a diversity in products that will
give the farmer something to sell for
which there is a demand.

shrewd, reticent man of business, but
Arthur Weston gradually began to talk
more rapidly and with greater EN-
phasis BY the time the dessert had
been reached, and the port was on the

gayety about him which contrasted
J strongly with his earlier manner.
Until now. the conversation had been

more personal. and when presently host
and guest wheeled their arm-chairs

coffee and cigars, both began to be a

For q moment the old caution of the

Know everything tomorrow. what
could this young man mean? what
was he going to do? What was to hap

everything tomorrow?
He began to grow uneasy. He had
felt certain from the first that this
young fellow had something on his
mind. He had come down here to bor-
row money, and had spent his Christ

trying to think out the story of his
guest, for himself, when the guest evil

Ill
The iron and steel trade, according to
the Inquirer. shows an Improvement
in tone, but there Is no change for the
better in prices. The level seems to
have been reached at last, wire mills
are unable to figure out any profit In
taking contracts and they are there
fore not scrambling for them with the
same eagerness as before. Besides
there are few orders in the market. The
pig iron market is dull and without
change as to prices, and, in fact, every
thing awaits the stimulus that APP
parently can only come with the APP
proach of spring. Pig iron prices are
nominally steady and unchanged at
$3.50 and $14 for No. anthracite. Sl2.5O
and Sl3 for No. and s11.50 and s12 for
gray forge. For finished material the
demand is light and of a hand-to-
| mouth character. Most of the larger
mills have orders booked that will keep
| them employed for some time to come,
and the usual holiday shutdown will
| be cut short by one or two companies.
| but there is no great volume of new
business. Prices are irregular there
fore and depend a great real on the
condition of the order books. The
nominal quotations delivered are: Re-
fined bars, 1.30c. and l.40c. tank steel
and heavy plates, 155c. and 1,65c. !;
angles, 1.G0c. and 1.7Oc., and beams and
channels, 1.65c. and 1.75c. Steel billets
are somewhat weaker and sales are re-
ported to have been made at S1S.75, but
there is no confidence on the part of
buyers that this figure will not be cut
while manufacturers talk confidently
of sharp advance within sixty days.
Steel rails are quiet.

| The Lehigh Valley. Reading. Lacka-
wanna and Jersey Central are all re-
stricting the output. 1t is probable
the same halfway system of restric-
tion will be continued next month. The
return of mild weather has made the
anthracite coal trade dull again. Deal
ers who laid in SUPPLIES during the cold
spell have not sold out yet and are not
| buying more.

RAILROAD NOTES.

Under the agreement of the new Joint
Traffic Association the fast freight lines
while being allowed to retain their So
liciting agents for the present must ex-
act full tariff rates. The agreement
shuts off commissions from the tourist
agencies like Cooks, Whitcomb and
Raymonds, as well as from scalpers.
1t is rumored that a new railroad will
be built ere long across the upper sec
ton of Bucks county, to be known as
the Quakertown and Eastern railroad,
to tap the North Penn at or near Quak-
ertown. AS projected. the new line will
run from QuakertoWn, through Rich
landtown, Pleasant Valley and SPRING
town to Riegelsville, Pa, and will strike
the Delaware river a short distance
above the last named place. Thence it
will run along the river to Easton. The
new road will form connecting lin =
with the Poughkeepsie Bridge route to
Boston as it would connect here with
the Lehigh and Hudson's lire. 1t is
claimed that the new road would short
en- the route from Easton to Philadel-
phia twelve miles. Among the men in
terested in the scheme Is John Jami-
son, the well-known railroad builder.
The projectors of the railroad want peo-
pie living along the line to subscribe to
c15, 900 worth of stock or bonds.
Charles F. Mayer has resigned the
presidency of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad company, which position he
has filed for the past seven years.
This action was taken at the monthly
meeting of the board of directors and
his resignation was unanimously ac-
cepted, although the board requested
30 t,,,a IN,
his successor could be selected. 1t is
understood that his resignation was
due to the fact that the newly elected
New York directors wish to put a prac-
tical railroad man at the head of the
corporation. No one has as yet been
definitely decided upon, but several
have been mentioned. No date has
been announced for the meeting at
which the new president will be chosen.
