Referring to a recent inquiry, l would

animals in their stables leads me to a
belief in the efficiency of only one

fact that in this case the COW can help

that at no time in the "a hours is she

hair refuses to settle down for hours.
l will take for granted that there is a
low partition of boards in front of the
cows to keep the fodder from being
pushed and nosed out of reach. Even

VI. o5s50m5n6 SHOWS Enar most OF the
decrease in the United States is in
liabilities, while the
entire increase in Canada is in iabii-
ties of trading concerns. A few states,
including New York and Pennsylva-
mia, show more failures than in 1898,
and in a few Southern states the
amount of liabilities is larger, but in
Central and Western states very much
smaller.
Price of Commodities Way Down.
The complete review of different
branches of business places in a clear
light the fact that prices Of commodi-
ties are at the lowest level ever known.
Eight years ago in July prices averaged
only 70. SO per cent of the prices for the
same articles, and in the same markets
as on Jan. l, 1860, and this remained the
lowest point ever touched until Aug.
10, 1898, when the average fell to ~. 76,
but early this year prices dropped be-
low all previous records and have never
recovered, the average Dec. rs being
only 68.73 per cent Of the prices in
1860. The range was very little higher
at the end of the year and about as low

are sending out, or are about. to send
out, commercial travellers, and, in
many instances, have not finished the
years accounts and stock taking. A
tabulation of Bradstreets telegraphic
reports from the more important trade
centers does not reveal specially hope
full views as to an improvement in
business in the near future. In many
instances trade revival is declared to
depend on settlement of the currency
question. The most encouraging ex-
pressions Of opinions are
That Merchants Are Hopeful.
Among more favorable conditions
are reports that stocks of goods Of all
descriptions in the hands Of jobbers,
manufacturers and retailers, West and
Northwest, are generally smaller than
usual at this season; that the business
of the year in dry goods, hats, shoes,
millinery and groceries has been 1alrly
satisfactory, and that cold weather has
stimulated demand for coal and season
able fabrics.

the United States, officially reported to
Bradstreets, aggregate for the calendar
year 1894 $44, 900, 900, 900, IL per cent
less than in the panic year Of 1898, and
26 per cent less than in 1892, the year

As IN all other manufacturing towns.
the factory girls of Reading have lots of

to all parts OF the world. The best fun OF
this kind. writes Reading pa corre-
spondent of the New York Sun. is en-
loved by the girls who work in factories
turning out articles used exclusively by
men. Hence hat factory girls receive
possibly the largest mail.
II have known at least dozen girls
who have become the wives OF men
who found their little notes in the hats
they bought" said the forewoman OF a
hat factory. Several girls have their
sisters at work at home making copies

lining OF the hats, allowing just an
end to stick out under the sweat band.
A note so placed would not be seen I'M
less the sweat band were turned down.
Of course hundreds of hats are sent out,
and possibly the notes are never seen,
but very many are found and answered.
The girls receive answers from all over

The letters they receive would make
quite a collection. Generally they are
read out aloud In the shop. Very
many replies from the west say that
girls are very scarce out there Some
men want TO correspond with view to
matrimony; others just for pastime,
One man recently wrote that he wanted
a hat trimmed by the same girl
"A few days ago a letter was re-
ceived from southwestern Colorado for
a girl who died here eight months ago.
She had put in her trimmed hats lot

out his hat before he discovered the
note. He offered to send the girl
money to come out to him if she'd
marry him. Poor Mary. she had died
