Many changes and Improvements will
ne made in the handle bars for 1898.
The most prominent VIII be the new
adjustable expansion stem. which does
away with tho head clip and gives a
rim appearance to the wheel II Is ex-
pected also that the new bar can be
eel much lower than those OF this year,
II will only be necessary TO tighten one
screw in order to adjust the stem In the
head to any riding position that may be
desired These adjustable stems are
made OF one piece OF forged steel, drilled
ard machlned into shape.
Many novelties will be put OIL the
market for 1898. A great deal OF atten-
lion has been given to the manufacture
OF n new lamp, which is said to be n
great Improvement over any yet seen.
None OF It's fine points, however, have
been given out yet. Other sundries are
the combination lamp bracket, which
can be used either on the head or fork,
an antitrust toeclip, and an instrument
known as the retro-opticon, to be placed
on the handles 10 reproduce scenery be-
hind the rider. The novelty Is calcu-
lated to do away with the looking back
ward necessity and Is therefore looked
upon as safeguard against collisions.

Of the powers OF London. This, OF
course, seems idlotio TO American riders
and shows the narrowmindedness of

right to the thoroughfares as either. 1t
Is needless to say that the cyclists
fought the measure.
English manufacturers are still un-

able. The English racing wheels are
seldom under twenty-four pounds.

clerical force is heavily taxed to keep I'D
with the rush, yet there is a system about
the proceedings that facilitates the trans
action of great deal of business in a short

great many foreign goods will be brought
in before the bill takes effect and these will
fill up the market and keep the mill men
quiet until they have been consumed. With
a proper tariff act in force. however, it
will not be long before every bit of our
mill machinery will be running full time.
There are nearly $50 wooden mills, large and
small, in the Mississippi valley. This is %

years ago. If the present tariff law should
remain in effect. all or nearly all of them
would be forced either to close up or put
their help on the same basis as that paid

a canvass of the wool houses showed that
while sales to Western mills had increased
enormously the last three or four weeks
the purchases by Western mills were as
nothing to those made on Eastern account.

importers are actively engaged in buying

of Germany and Cuba. for prompt ship
ment to this country in an effort to get the
commodity into the market without paying
to the government the new tax. The COM
paratively small sugar output of Cuba. ow-
ing to the unsettled condition of the Islands,
and the inability of the planters to grind
has made it necessary to depend largely on
Java and Germany for the product and a
large percentage of the article imported
here during the past year has come from
In Hamburg for shipment to this city alone
more than fifteen thousand tons of raw
sugar. and steamers are being sent for as
rapidly as they can be chartered and
here from Hamburg and six large vessels
from West Indian ports. The valuation or
the sugar on the way and booked for ship
ment to Boston alone will reach into the
millions and the money saved on duty,
provided the sugar reaches here before the
new tariff goes into effect, will be enor-
nous.
