TRADE REVIEW.
The Business Situation According to Brad
streets,

New YORK, Nov 13,-Bradstreets
weekly review says:
One Of the most significant features Of the
business situation is found in the continued
heavy weekly totals Of bank clearlngS, that for
six business days ending November II amount
ed to 81 ,3lT 900 an increase of 10 per cent over
the preceding week, AMI l3 per cent. compared
with the second week Of November 1856, when
business began to revive sharply in speculative
lines. Railroad gross earnings show smaller
gains as comparisons begin to be made with
more nearly normal con iitiOnS one year
ago Total October earnings OF 127 compa-
MES operating O0OJO miles of road, aggregate
$50 46i 33a, gain OF S5G0J0)O over September
and per cent over october year ago. This
gain compares with gains Of II pert cent, in
September, and 1875 per cent in August over
corresponding periods IN 1898. The Pacific,
southwestern and central western roads make
the best showing.
Other favorable features are the continued
firmness OF and activity in wool, iron and steel
The heavy output Of iron and moderate reduc-
ton of stocks last week suggests the imDrob-
ability OF the advance in prices Of iron
and steel next year which so many have
hoped for The slight reaction in the
price OF cotton, in view Of the ex-
tremc depression to which that staple
has been subjected, attracts attention as the
possible beginning Of the end OF the prolonged
decline. Already there is an Improvement in
prices and demand for cotton yarns
The unfagorable influences in price move
ments this week are declines for cot,
tons and print cloths, the latter touching
the lowest price on record. Wheat lard and
lead are also lower, and wire nails have been
shaded. There is long list Of staples for which
prices are practically unchanged. The mort
important advances are confined TO Indian corn

OUR NAVAL NEEDS.


NEW YORK, Nov, l3.--At the annual
banquet of the Society of Naval and
Mechanical Engineers at D3lmonico's,
Friday night, Assistant Secretary Of
the Navy Theodore Roosevelt among
other things, said:
"Unless we are willing to be put in
the contemplate attitude of nation
that busters without being able to
back up its words by deeds, we must
prove that our attitude about the Mon
roe doctrine is not sham. To prove
this means that we must have power
ful navy. If we annex Hawaii we
shall need an adequate navy to enforce
our possession of the Pacific. II we
do not annex Hawaii we shall need a
much larger navy, as Hawaii can not
stand alone. Some other power must
necessarily take it, and that moment
menace our whole Pacific coast

TO top of peak. 1t viii take three or
four boards for each of these; to hold
them together, nail strips, or battens,
across the inside. Then make bottom
board and the two sides; the latter
should be 90 inches high and ~ inches
wide
Next, with a key-hole saw, cut the
holes in the front for the pigeons to go
in and out, and then fasten the sides
and back to the bottom. Arrange three
shelves, one on the line formed by the
bottom of each tier of holes; fasten on
the front, and lastly the roof.
Each floor can be divided into three
compartments ifdesired; but they must
not be too small, else they will be use
less. Cut five small angular brackets
to support the shelf outside each line of
holes. To support the bottom shelf
nail strips to the under side and carry
them on under the cote where they may
be nailed fast to the bottom.
From smooth shingie or other thin
piece of wood. cut an arrow for a
weather vane. and make it fast to the
top of a small stick with a very thin
steel-wire nail. This stick is to be fas-
tened to the front of the cote at the
peak in an upright position, as shown
in the drawing. Balance the arrow
nicely, and take care when boring the
hole through which to pass the nail
that you do not split the arrow shaft.
This cote may be painted any desir-
able color to correspond with that Of
the house or out buildings. and two
good coats should be used.
When finished the cote can be mount
ed on a post or fastened on the side Of

EncOurnginR Stntisticn.

The Baltimore and Ohio officials ara very
much pleased with certain statistics that
have recently been prepared of the per-
Torrance of freight trains on the Second
division, which handles all the east and
west bound traffic between Baltimore and
Cumberland. Before the lew freight en-.
gines were purchased, and the improvements
made in the track in the way of straighten-
ing curves and reducing grades, the average
number of cars to the train was 2S IL. Now,
with more powerful and modern motive
power and a better track, the average is 40
cars per train, an increase OF Al per cent.
The average east-bouhd movement per day
for the first ten days of August was l,l23
loaded cars On the Third division, Cum
bcrland to Grafton, where there are grades
of l25 feet to the mile, the engines used to
haul 10 - loads To the train. Now the
average is Is 90 loads per train, an increase
of 81 per cent. 1t would certainly appear
that the money spent in improvements OH

that the cost of operation is being very ma
terally reduced

Origin of Potato Bugs.

The Colorado potato beetle receives
native home was at the eastern base of
the Rocky mountains, where it fed up
or species of wild potatoes quite com
mon TO this region, known as the Sand
bur (Solanum rostratum). 1t was col
lected there and described by Thomas
Say i'll 1924. 1t was first mentioned as
an injurious insect in 1859 when some
of the early settlers of western Nebras-
ka reported it feeding in large num-
bers upon the Irish potato. We thus
see that the species changed its food
from Wild to a cultivated plant, as has
been the ease with many of our injur-
ious insects.-Farmers Review.

Many medicinal plants can be grown
with profit, as the demand for some
kinds is increasing Absinthe (worm-

New England, and this country i'm

sells for eight dollars per pound. may
be grown in nearly all sections. Pep
permint and spearmint find ready sale,
and sage, which is well known to every
farmer, is imported, frequently selling
at $3.50 per ton. Then there are boar

pennyroyal, etc, which are regarded as
weeds in some localities, all of which
