Il. G.. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of
trade says: Neither the rising specula-

dustrics has ceased, and il is wholesome
that there are fewer signs of hesitation
in the productive industries than in spec
uative prices. Wage strikes grow more
numerous and cause some trouble. and
retail demand lags behind wholesale and
iobbing purchases behind production in
some branches. but through many CON
flcting reports the fact shines out that
the industries are gaining not with a rush
and a whirl but more safely. 1t is less
clear that railroads are increasing their
earnings. But revival of activity in
other directions helps confidence 20 take

StrawHats on the Rise.

Straw hats and wall paper are now slat-
ed for a trip to the sky. Their prices are
likely To join the procession of b"lloons
occupied 10y beef. oil and leather. Straw
braid. out of which the familiar and nee
essary straw hat is made. has gone up 10
per cent and more. and there is chance
that cheap straw hats will cost little
more this year than they did last. There
is an equal chance. some jObbers believe,
that next years crop will be sold at better
prices. because of peculiar conditions that
exist Braided straw, of which hats are
made. comes mostly from China and
Japan. Last summers spell of hot
weather exhausted the supply of straw
hats: the war in the East, it is thought,
has interfered to some extent with the
shipments from China and Japan. for it
is understood the manufacturers have not
yet got their stock. There has been
smart, healthy trade in hats for the COM
ing season and rise in straw braid. Out
of these conditions jobbers foresee posi-
bilities that hats may cost more.

than half an hour when the discov-
cry was made. The money was in

amount above referred to. The

THE ALAMO.

The citizens of San Antonio, and

what they must do with the Alamo.
1t has been made to do much SER
vice-since its fall. 1t has a historic
spot and should be kept sacred by
the people of Texas.
The San Antonio Express says of
it; "Restore the Alamo, in every
detail, so it will look precisely as
it did when Travis and his Spartan
band occupied it for their last stand
in 1886 and keep it forever in that
shape. Thus will it be more hero
ic monument, a more impressive
object lesson than could be other
wise reared in marble or bronze-a
shrine for patriotic pilgrims in all
