part:
All markets and all industries are
working toward the period of Thanks
giving. of stock taking and Of holidays.
Colder weather has done much TO ac-
oelerate retail trade
Dispatches from all parts Of the west
and south show large volume OF busi-
hess, and, though the fever at the south
hinders and stock speculation here does
not swell clearings as It did FIVE years
ago. the payments through clearing
houses are for the month only l.5 per
cent less than in 1892 and for the week
outside New York 1.2 per cent larger.
The producing force increases on the
whole, and many manufacturers are
unable TO take all the orders offered.
while others are committed as far
ahead as they are willing TO be. The
output in several great industries is
considerably the largest ever known.
and confidence in yet greater business
next year is unabated. Hesitation in
speculative markets is in part because
an immense capital has been turned
from them to investment IN productive

Nuts as Food.

In the recent examination of nuts IL
has been found that the common beech
nut is as valuable as many cereals for
food. Like cereals, it possesses con-
siderable starch as well as oil. In case
of necessity a good meal could be fur
nished from these nuts, which now fur
nish such excellent food for hungry
SQUIRRELS and other small animals and
TO some forest birds. The walnut. butt
ternut, and even the hazelnut and chest
nut, though rich in oil, are proportion
ately poor in starch. and therefore not
so valuable for food.-N. Y. Tribune.
