A great deal is truly said re-
garding Rainier beer as bever-
age. 1t is light, sparkling beer,
which is particularly palatable
and refreshing during the warm
days of summer. AS mild tonic,
particularly for people who need
a light stimulant, Rainier beer
is of such merit that it's use is
frequently recommended by Seat
tie physicians In the making Of
Rainier beer, the Seattle Brewing
d Mailing Co. uses only the
highest quality of hops and malt,
and the process of brewing IS
carried out with systematic and
intelligent care, which insures a
perfect product. The reputation
of Rainier beer, both at home and
abroad, attests its unbouuded
merits. On tap or in bottles at
the Criterion.

Favorable reports come from Chicago

upon the enlarged Alaskan demand. San
Francisco reports the wheat crop inn
proved by recent rains, with conserva-
tive estimates pointing to Il yield OF SI5,
00U tons.
General trade on the coast is very
heavy. The price situation is one of sus-
tanned and ever aggressive strength.
Wheat is higher, partly on the improved
statistical situation, but largely III sym
pathy with the Chicago squeeze, which
had advanced prices 15c per bushel within
n week in that market. All cereals have
per, cotton, dairy products. leaf tobacco
and raw sugar are also among the prom
inent staples which have been enhanced
in value. The decreases have been few
and there has been slight shading at
Pittsburg and sympathetic weaknesses At

1t is net generally known that over

pressure would not squeeze one-half Of

but by putting the same material into
an iron retort and converting il into

and smoke. TO the extent of fully g.

be condensed into liquid called pyrolig-
neous acid. and from it are obtained
wood alcohol, acetate of lime and wood
tars. cord of wood weighing 4 019
pounds produced about 2.650 pounds of
pyroligneons acid and zoo pounds af

one cord of wood produces nine

wool alcohol, 200 pounds Of
acetate Of lime and about q gallons of
tar, besides So bushels Of charcoal. Aft
er the pyroligneous acid is neutraliZed
with lime the wood alcohol is distilled
on the lime holding the acetlc acid IN
solution. After the separation OF the
wood spirit the remaining liquid is
boiled down in open pans TO a sugar
which is dried and becomes the acetate

Is used for making acetic acid. Fully
three-fifths of all the wood alcohol and

Financial Review.

New York, Dec. 10.-Bradstreet' Iii
nancial Review tomorrow will say: Pub
lie interest in specula ton has increased 10
some extent. but the activity and the
strength of this weeks market were
again largely due to professional manipu-
lation.
The presidents message, more particu-
larly the part relating to Cuba, was ia
vorably received by the street and IL is
apparently conceded that the danger of
unsettling agitation on the Cuban ques-
ton in congress has been materially les
sened. The leading operators who have
taken hold of the share market on the
bull side are supported in their attitude
by the increasing activity in bonds and
the large investment demand at the adj
vancing figures the movement having
now extended from high grade securities
to the second class of railway mortgages.
Large increases in railroad earnings con-
tinue to be one of the chief factors in the
situation. and rumors are current re-
garding the payment of dividends or their
interest by a number of companies The
announcement that quarterly dividends
of per cent on the preferred shares
of the reorganiZed Northern Pacific road
has been begun was fully expected and
aided in giving currency many reports of
the same kind in regard to the other cor
poratons.
1t is true that early in the week the
street had one disappointment in regard
to an extra dividend on Sugar stock
which was not declared. The general
market however, manifested a DISPOSE
ton to cut loose from Sugar and was
indeed. somewhat inclined to disregard
other favorable factors.
London has continued to sell sparingiy
in this market and the indications from
Washington seem to be that despite the
careful treatment of the currency uuos-
ton by the president, there is little hope
OF any legislation whatever by congress
on this subject
