Spruce Trees Becoming Scarce.

wood pulp, and consequently of a large
proportion of the paper used in the
printing trade. According to estimates
recently given out by the Forestry De-
partment at Washington there are only
six years supply of coniferous woods
in sight if the present rate of consump-
ton is kept up. Dealers in. wood pulp
are somewhat skeptical regarding this
statement, although they admit the in
creasing scarcity of spruce in this coun-
try. There are thousands upon thou
sands of acres of untouched spruce for
est in Canada. however, and the Cana
dian lumbermen are contemplating with
no small degree of interest the pros
poets of a spruce famine in the United
States.
Although essential to the manufact-
urer and to trade spruce trees are of
surprisingly small value as they stand
in the forest. A writer in the Paper
Mill" says that there are between four
and six hundred spruce trees on an acre
of ground, such as in various parts of
New England would be worth between
50 and S12 per acre. Taking 400 trees
to the acre as a basis of calculation, it
is shown that they would be worth only
, or 3 cents each. 1t is hard to re-
allie how cheaply nature does it's work
in growing forest trees. Along the up
per waters of the Penobscot River the
lumberman pays about 50 30 per thou
sand foot stumpage for the right to
cut twelve trees on the average in the
forest, to make his thousand feet, or a
trif1e over 20 cents a tree. The cut
ting and hauling of these Penobscot
spruce trees viii average from 40 to
90 cents each.

CANT use of an intoxicating bevera ge
known as saki, or rice beer, which puts
the entire population in a helpless con-
dition long before the day is done
The principal ceremony is the great
bear feast, called Omsia, in which a
huge bear is slain and sacrificed as a
special offering to the god Kamui, who
is the guardian and protector of their
homes throughout the year. 1t is nee
essary to conciliate this god by the
special donation of bears meat that
their lives may be free from the per-
secution of the unseen, intangible spirit
demons who seek to do them harm
It is said that the bear for this feast
IS raised from a cub, sucked by an
Aino woman, who becomes it's foster
mother, and in her heart feels toward
it all the tenderness and love that she
would for her own offspring. AS the
end of the year draws nigh her cruel
and hairy grandfather, with unfeigned
joy helps nurture and fatten the feast
bear for the coming celebration with
carefully prepared foods
Alas, it is a fearful day for the foster
mother when her entire family drag
her bear son from her arms to the
scene of sacrificei She tears her hair
and Weeps and walls, while the grand
parent, with joyous cries, dances in
front of the part who dragy the beast
with heavy ropes to the altar
The killing of the bear is done in a
most horrible and brutal manner. Two
fair sized logs are lashed, one above
another, to a standing tree, and ex-
tend horizontally resting uDOn the
ground. The entire clan takes part at
the death, which is accomplished by
opening the ends Of the log furthest
from the tree like huge jaw and drag
ging the head and neck of the help
less beast through the opening, and
then squeezing and strangling with
mighty pressure the life out of the poor
bear.-NeW York Herald.

The age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1897-1902, 1897-10-16

Birmingham, Oct. 15-The feverish
tone manifest last night was resumed to-
day at the opening and on lack of ag-
gressive support the bears were encour-
aged to affect further depression. No in
fluences were introduced and immediate
1y there was a rush of selling orders
under which prices yielded to the ex-
tent of substantial fractions generally,
although some declines exceeded a point.
Tobacco opened ex-dividend 2 per cent at
SO and fell to $685. Chicago gas opened
Up * but later on a. savage attack broke
2 per cent. London bought quite freely
and of st. Paul and L. & N, but as
the morning advanced the selling pres
sure appeared to increase. Prices gener-
ally hardened a fraction later but i'm
mediately the improvement was checked
and a concerted drive depressed prizes
below the previous low prices. Indus
trials were picked out as easy spots and
bears hammered them successfully. The
railways offered some resistance but they
soon yielded under heavy offerings and
a report that the supreme court would
decide against them next week.
The liquidation continued on talk OF
possible complication involving Spain
and the United States. Sugars decline
was extended down to 1877, while losses
of L per cent and over were common
in the aftern DON, sentiment changed and
although the market was dull general
recovery ensued and the close was
strong.

Grain Letter

Birmingham, Oct. 15.-Wheat opened a
shade firmer today on general DISPOSE
ton among the short element to cover.
Cables from Liverpool came %QZslower
at the opening, but recovered X of this
loss by 80. This decline abroad was an
tfcipated and merely reflected the loss
here yesterday. Continental cables as a
rule were firm and good acceptances
reported. Export engagements yesterday
were again very large. The most bulhsh
influence was the renewal of serious
drought complaints from various sectios
lions in the winter wheat belt, especial
1y from Kansas, where hot wind and
dust storms prevail, compelling the
abandonment of seeding. December
wheat opened at 90ss@90% and under a
strong tone and good demand advanced
to 91%, receding to 80 split on realizing
sales on expectations that the modern
miller crop summary would be bearish.
However the report was bullish and a
cable stating that the Russian wheat
crop was overestimated Immediately
caused a rapid advance, the price reach
ing 911a by 1 O'Clock. At the lower prices
foreigners succeeded in getting about 300
loads for export. The strength contin-
usd and the close was at 913s split bid
Puts on December wheat 90ss, calls 92ss.

showed decided weakness under rsnew

This was rather disappointing to the

moderately and at one time was higher

Orleans and the short interest were the
opposing forces. The movement TOR ne

Dry Goods.

New York, Oct. 15.-The dry goods
market was without change today and
a limited attendance of buyers at first
hands being recorded. Mail orders were
also scanty on goods for speedy delivery.
In wooden and worsted lines for next
years supplies there was a continued
fair demand reported in almost all
grades. The probability is that buyers
will come into the market for spring
and fall goods for 1898 with some degree
Of freedom, as it is expected that a good
trade will prevail in consumptive mar
kets. The feature Of the market is the
weakness in print cloths and in grade
goods in eastern markets, which has a
stultifying effect on the local market for
nearly all grades of cotton goods.
The demand from jobbers is still quiet,
converters being more in evidence than
any other class of buyers Staple cot
tons are without marked feature. Print
cloths spot extras are still quoted at
2 7-16c. Prints are still very active.
