STOCKHOLM EXPOSITION

Inc pavilion OF the Stora Koppar-
berg Mining Company is one of the
gems of the exposition. And here is
really something to see and learn. The
Stora Kopparberg Mining Company is
certainly one of the oldest of its kind
in the world. There are documents
showing that the company was in op-
Grafton as long ago as the year 1888.
Originally the aim of the company was
simply to work the Falun copper mine,
and for centuries this produced more
copper than any other copper mine in
the world. Its maximum production
was reached in 1850. the returns for
that year being 3,067 tons. In the 18th
century another mine and a saw mill
were bought by the company, and
about the year 100 the Svartnes iron
mines were secured. At present the
company is not only the largest pro-
ducer of iron and steel, but also the
largest exporter of timbe products in
Sweden; it owns shares in several rail-
roads, canals and locks, and owns a
whole fotilla of steamers. which are
operated by the company. The assets
Of the company now amount to $9,000,-
O00 Falun mine has reached depth
Of $500 feet, the greatest of any in
Sweden. The rock and ore taken out
Of the shaft during the history of the
mine is $4,000, 900 tons. This would
furnish material enough for seven Che
ops pyramids. The copper produced
is about 1000, 900, 900 pounds, or sutfi-
cient to make solid cylinder IS feet in
diameter and 1880 feet long. The cop
per mine has yielded metals to the
value of $274.s60 1000. The exhibits in
the pavilion not only reproduce the his
tory of the company, but the different
enterprises may be studied in detail.
In short, the plant of the Stora Kop-
parberg Mining Company would do its
exhibitors honor at any worlds fair,
and a Swede says: This is living
picture of the truth that we conceal
our life, our honor, our greatness in
our inner selves. and that our progress
depends upon the strength and the
work which we devote to the blasting
OF the ore and the melting of the gold
therein
The leading Swedish painters repre-
sented at the exposition-and they are
all represented by their best produc-
tions-are characterized by individual
traits to an unusual degree. The mo-
tives of many of the best paintings
seem to be purely accidental. They
represent ''momentary emotions, hap
Ply works of haste, charming acct
dents.'' This characteristic makes
Swedish paintings Of the first order in
tensely life-like; but it prevents them
from depicting specifically Swedish life
in a broader sense of the word.

President Greet. Veterans.

Troy, n. Y. Aug. 21.-Great prepare
tons were made to entertain the 5000
visiting members of the friends of the
army of the Potomac. who gathered
here Friday for the twenty-eighth an
nual reunion. President Mckinley and
Secretary Alger arrived in the city at
$50 o'clock on President ELEPHANTS
private car attached to the regular train
which left Piattsburg Thursday night.
The parade in honor of the president
and the army of the Potomac, was one
of the largest ever seen in Troy; nearly
$500 guardsmen were in line and about
1000 survivors of the late war. The
three national guard companies of Troy
acted as escort to the presidential par
ty and Gov. Frank S. Black and staff
All along the line of march the parad-
ing column was greeted by the thou
sands that lined the pavements and
filled every available point of vantage.
In the evening the president attended
the public meeting of the army of the
Potomac in Music hall. The place was
damned to suffocation ard the presi-
dent received great ovation.

outwitting a store Detective.

A detective in a well-known retail
store is engaged in the mental process
of kicking himself whenever he thinks
of a certain transaction which took
place last week. At time of day when
the store was crowded the detective,
who was keeping a sharp lookout for
evildoers, was approached by a we'll
dressed, intelligent-looking man, who
informed him that he was employed as
detective in another store, and had fol-
lowed shoplifter from his firms store
to the present place, where they would
find her at the glove counter stealing
gloves. LET her alone" said the
strange detective, land when she loads
up will follow her home. and we can
then make a big haul" Consent was
given to this plan, and the shoplifter
stole 5000 or $500 worth of goods un-
molested. Then she went out, followed
by the strange detective That was the
last ever seen of the pair, and the store
detective wonders how on earth he was
duped SO easily.-Philadelphia Record.

Their Gains Expected.
New York, Aug. 21.-At lao O'Clock
Friday September wheat in the local
market reached the long-talked OF goal
of one dollar per bushel. Naturally
enough the incident created tremen-
dous sensation on the floor of the ex-
change and was greeted with prolonged
cheers from 500 threats, being reechoed
from the crowded galleries.
Minneapolis. Mimi. Aug. 21.-Wheat
sold for one dollar a bushel in Minneap-
oils Friday. When the September OPP
ton went to 90 cents Charles A. Pills
bury offered n dollar spot for 1,200
bushels of old No. northern. which is
selling at premium. The offer was ac-
cepted. James Marshall offered the
same price for 5000 bushels, but it has
not yet been accepted.
Chicago, Aug. 81. September wheat
had advanced six cents over Thursday
nights closing price at 1880 Friday,
when it reached 1915 cents a bushel.
Wild excitement reigned in the wheat
pit all day. The opening of wheat was
3ss cents above Thursdays close and
within minute the price was 91h

931s cents without any material decline.

ENCOURAGING.
Uniform Improvement I'm Trade In All
Sections.

New York. Aug. PR. G. Dun & Co.
in their weekly review of trade say:
Not for several years have the tele-
graphic reports from various cities In all
parts of the country been as encoura ging
or shown as uniform improvement as this
week. The markets are called crazy by
some, but fairly represent the people
whose confidence in the future is strong
and increasing. Nothing appears to check
it Rumors of injury to crops are not
sufficiently supported to have much in
fiuence. The only temporary hindrance
is the strike of bituminous coal miners,
which interferes as yet little with indus
tries. and seems likely to terminate within
a week. The demand for money improves.

about $500 900 more than was received dur
ing the week, and offerings Of CONNER
cial loans are much larger, including con-
siderable iron and steel paper, and the
course of foreign exchange is generally
interpreted as an indication that specie
imports cannot be long delayed
1.-The greatest gain has been for agricui-
ture. Corn has advanced little in price,
but is moving very largely, so that the Last
years surplus may soon be marketed un-
less the crop turns out better than many
now expect. Cotton declined II cent. be-
cause of an estimate promising the largest
crop ever grown, but the goods market
is decidedly improving, and some Of the
large mills, after few weeks of suspen-
sion, have resumed work. Other farm
products are doing well also, but wheat has
advanced about us cents for the week
on actual transactions, with heavy pur-
chases for export. The official estimate
of yield is entirely disregarded except as
an admission that the crop viii be larger
than that of last year, and it is commonly
assumed that the yield will be 550.OoO.oOO
bushels or more, though recent reports OF
injury indicating the possibility Of some
what smaller outcome have helped the ad-
vance in prices. 1t is well to notice that
corn exports continue more than double
last years, also in three weeks s.5l6,54A
bushels, against AIS. 241 last year.
The iron and steel industry Is pushing
forward in spite of the still unsettled strike
of bitumineus coal miners, and the enor-
nous purchases of ore at Cleveland, and
also of billets at Pittsburgh, show the ut
most confidence in the future. Many ad-
ditional establishments have begun Work
during the week. and, while no material
change in prices has occurred, the reports
indicate fewer concessions to secure busi-
ness and a much steadier tone. The de-
mand for finished products has decidedly
improved, especially in plates, sheets and
bars, and in railway supplies, particularly
in car aXleS.
Failures for the week have been 22S In
