The heavy excess Of merchandise ex-
ports over imports In January. the con-
tinuance Of exchange rates showing
that Europe Is still largely indebted to
this country on current account, and
the prospect that congress will adjourn
without any disturbing action-all have
their favorable influence upon the mon

Iron and steel industry feels the upward
impulse supplied by purchases of steel
rails. said to be 100000 tons each from
the Illinois Steel company and from the
Carnegie company. besides some other
companies.
Other Industries are gaining also
though less conspicuously. The recent
decline and subsequent rise in raw cot

Fire at Altoona.

Word was received here early this
morning of a disastrous fire at Altoona,
shortly after midnight last night. The
best building In the town, the city
hall structure on the west side of Main
street was totally destroyed. In the
lower story were the general merchan-
disc store of G. A. Stafford g Co., and
DR.. r. r. G. Dodd s. Sons drug store.
On the upper floor were the city clerks
office, and a millinery store in one
half the other being fitted up for an
auditorium. The general merchandise
store of Stafford & Go. was one of the
most popular and successful in the
county, and drew large trade from the
surrounding ncighborhoods. Dr. Dodd
is one of the old standbys Of the little
city, and the loss of his establishment
is also q severe one to the business
'tcrests of Altoona. How the fire orig
mated is not known. The inside was
burned out almost entirely before the
fire was discovered. The contents of
the building are a total loss, nothing
being rescued from the flames, Stat
ford & Co. carry $4,000 insurance.-Ne-

Owing to India's famine, and the
Argentine Republics failure, there
will not be one-fourth of a crop of flax
seed raised. The northwestern states,
the DakOtas, Minnesota and Iowa will
not seed one-half their usual acreage on
account of the price Of wheat being
higher than that of flax. America
will not have to exceed one-half crop
and there will be but a small surplus.
The price of oil is advancing, so FAX
seed will be much higher than last sea-

The OLD AND The new.
How True Business Princin1eS
Always Win.

There are some of us who
can remember the days gone.
by when mother used to sit at
the spinning wheel day in and
day out, trudging away in order
to keep her family in comfort
able clothing. For us TO look
back upon those times it is some
what of Il pleasure to see how
earnestly and reticent every
hour was passed in the anticipa-
ton of her duty being we'll per
formed. How much different it
is at the present time when we
notice a we'll dressed man pass
Our door. The idea never comes
into our mind that much labor
and thought and enormous ex.
pense has been used in the pro.
duction of every stitch of cloth
ing he wears; and much less are
we liable to consider it when we
learn that the very suit that man
wears would nova days cost
one. third the actual value fifty
years ago. Brains have over
come manual labor, and today in
every walk Of life we find i'm
provements that demand recog.
milton.
We interviewed Lewis Rodlun,
OF the firm Of Rodlun & johnson,
and in answer to a direct ques-
ton how it has come about that
business of today is in such a
shape that when two merchants
start out, each assuming with
equal ability, one will thrive and
grow to be the leading merchant
and the other will simply exist
and eventually submit TO a total
failure, he said: There are two
fundamental principles that [
have striven to follow in my
course of business enterprise,
and l believe il you will ferret
out the reason for the success of
others you will find it is founded
upon these all Important prin-
ciples.
First: When you sell a Gus
toner q suit, know it is right,
then tell him the truth.
T Second: Advertise only. in a
truthful, Trustworthy way. When
you advertise $40 suit, see that
that suit is worth $40 when your
customer comes to buy. These
two simple principles make a
foundation for Il healthy bust
ness There is one firm I have
i'll mind that forms their bust
ness by this way Of thinking
&. Kuppenheimer & Co., of Chi.
cago. They are the manufac.
tarers of the celebrated B. X. &
Go. garments, and it is their
strict adherence to these prin-
cipies that has induced our firm
to handle their clothing and like
wise made our reputation.
We do not wonder at the sue
cess Of a firm whose ideas of
business are SO formed, aud we
take pleasure in mentioning bns-
mess men such as Lewis Rod
lun, who will express their ideas
so freely.
