MAY LEAD THE WORLD
Has Made IL Great Advance in the
Cotton ln(luStrY.

Cotton Industry.
The prospectus of Il new industry at
Shanghai has been made the subject of II
report to the State Department by Consul
General Jernigan at that place. 1t is
called the Shanghai Oil Mill Company,
which proposes to manufacture oil from
cotton seed. 1t is, the consul general
says, the logical result of cotton mills at
Shanghai and the consequent stimulus
given the cultivation of cotton in China.
Since 1890 there have been forty-fivc new
cotton manufacturing establishments
erected in Shanghai and now in success
full operation. The belief of those start-
ing the proposed new industry is that oil
can he extracted at saving of 15 per
cent. over the native system. AS the area
suitable for cultivation of cotton in China
is almost as limitless as the supply of
labor, and labor being very cheap, there
can be, Jernigan says, no doubt that
China will soon be one of the great cot
ton producing countries of the world, and
this product will command serious con-
sideration in all calculations with refer.
ence to the cotton market.

THE WEEK in TRADE
THE BUSINESS WORLD AS SEEN
BY DUN & co.
Says the Imports of Gold May Be
Attributed to the Accommodating
Excess of Merchandise Exports
Over lNIports-Othcr Items.
Dun & Co.'S Rcyiey


II. g. Dun u Co.'s Weekly Review Of
Trade says: Poll tical events of the week
had no definite influence upon business
prospects, for the phenomenal variations
i'll sterling exchange and the beginning of
imports of gold may be fairly attributed
to the accumulatlng excess of merchandise
exports over imports, to which attention
has been repeatedly called, exports from
New York for the past two weeks having
been 20 per cent. larger and imports
II per cent. smaller than last year. The
rapid movement of grain and the unus-
ually early marketing of cotton tend
strongly to aid the banking syndicate
which has undertaken to regulate foreign
exchange.
The iron and steel manufacture is the
only continued depression to report, and
Bessemer pig has sold at $lO.4O at Pitts
burg, while southern iron is offered at
prices equivalent to $40 at New York, and
nearly all finished products are being sold
below the current quotations.

failing to cure with local treatment, pro-

A year has passed. James Thompson
with his wife and daughter, both of
whom have been restored to health, are
living In a neat, pleasant house, the
gift of Mrs. Phelps, through whose in
strumcntality Thompson has procured
lucrative employment. The year has
witnessed some other changes, too
especially in the real estate owned by
Mrs. Phelps. Very promptly she called
upon her agent and gave that individual
some instructions which fairly took his
breath away. She obtained from him
q list of all tenements owned by her,
and then set to work to Systematically
visit each house and the families occu-
pying it. Such poverty, squalor and
degradation as she encountered! AS
u result of this inspection, she ordered
general reduction Of the rents, u
thorough cleaning of all the houses
and numerous repairs, while some
crazy habitations she ordered to be de-
molished.
Phelps d. Co. no longer pay starvation
wages to their employees. Mrs. Phelps
husband had bequeathed her n contr0ll-
ing interest in the firm, and one day she
startled the other partners by prop<,s-
ing heavy increase in the rates ps;d
for making up clothing. They de-
INJURED, and said that such an increase
would bankrupt the firm. But Mrs.
Phelps persisted in her demand, and
finally induced the senior partner to
accompany her to the abodes of some of
the people employed by the firm. They
had not visited many places when he
said he had seen quite enough.
"1Iow do you suppose the patronage
of Phelps d Co. would be Affected"
asked Mrs. Phelps, "if our customers
were aware that their new garments
had been lying few hours before on
the dirty floor of tenement or on the
bed Of child sick with contagious
diseaSe?"
Being unable to answer this question
satisfactorily, both partners quietly
submitted to the inevitable The wages
were raised, and, far from becoming
bankrupt, the firm of Phelps & 60. is
more prosperous than ever. And Mrs.
Phelps to-day is very cheerful, happy
woman--far happier than wncn she
was a devotee at the altar of fashion.
For she knows that she has the smile
of Him to whom she has consecrated
not only her wealth and her time, but
herself,-N. Y, Observer.
