In spite Of moderate Improvement In
most OF the great industries business -
disappointing. Expectations Of speedy
end of the war In Europe through Turk
iah victory have helped 70 depreN grain.
Demands OF Austria and China have
caused exports OF %6,50O,O00 gold mer-
chandlse and imports are greatly tns
creased, and final action OF CongreS1 on
the revenue question seems more remote.
Wheat rose last Saturday nearly two
cents. but has fallen since that day about

pean markets did not sustain the eIpGc-
tatiouS of great foreign demand 0dar
the outbreak Of war, and becauSs eVOnt1

been only I.2S13,SlS bushels against
4, ,597, MS last year. Nor 10 this Gurprie-
inE, for,if in use. two bushels Of corn only
equal one bushel Of wheat, two bushels ot
corn would cost about sixty centn, and
one bushel OF wheat nearly eighty cent?,
Western receipts have been reduced,
perhaps In part by hoods and intOFFups
tion of traffic The cotton market has ad-
vanced a quarter OF a cent, owing mainly
20 speculative impulse from England.
OF the great Industries, the Iron ano
steel manufacture Is slower in advancing
now, as It was much the quicker In the
winter. Partly because the increase n
production In pig iron was then too rap

taken when the different pools broke

and perhaps even more because possi-
bIliues OF new development remain, thefa
IL great hesitation now in placing ordeFs.

well as all OF the hair, was almost
burned OF. The woman by this tms
was suffering 30 much pain that she
tainted. The men resuscitated her and

Up to the present time it must
be said that the governments of
England, France, Germany, Rus
sla andl dlAustria- Hungary have act
ed most discreditably in uphold
ing Turkish .nisrule, and opposing
the efforts OF the Christian Cretans
IN the direction of political liberty.
The latest Cretan revolt was pro-
voked by the persistent refusal Of
the Turkish government to intro
duce reforms dictated by the great
powers themselves. but. from the
beginning until the declaration of
war against Greece by Turkey, the
leading governments of Europe
sided with the sultan and did what
they could to insure continuance
of Turkish misrule in Crete.
Greece has shown more moral
courage and more devotion to civ
ilization and Christianity than all
the great powers combined, and
all lovers of human liberty must
hope and pray for the triumph of
the Greclan arms in the pending
conflict. Now that actual hostili-
ties have begun the great powers
must assume new attitude.
They can no longer undertake to
blockade the ports of Crete against
all vessels excepting those bearing
the Turkish flag, because that
would put them IN the position of
hostlles instead of neutrals, which
they claim to be.-Denver Repub-
lican.
