AS superb social function it has
had no parallel in America. It's fame

presented was strange spectacle in
this up-to-date metropolis. At the first
coup d'oeil one would have imagined
the graves had opened and the kings
and queens, the princesses and the titled
aristocracy of the decayed centuries
had arisen in chorus to again become
themselves in all their old-time glory.

tonnage of rails was probably purchased

December and S25 in January, SIT is now the
price at which works east and west are
seeking orders, the Carnegie company even
selling at SIT, Chicago delivery. The sales
will employ many thousand hands, with an
important increase in the cost of track
laying or renewals of railroads. In the
near future, also, is the struggle between
the two great companies producing Mesaba

and the other with the Carnegie company,
which Is expected to bring about lower
prices for ore, and TO push many mines to
their utmost capacity. But in the war OF
rival interests wages are already reduced
by some large concerns.
Another event of influence Is the pur-
chase of 100000 pieces of print cloths by
