DUN'S REVIEW.
a steadily increasing Volume OF
Trndc.
sons


NEW YORK, Nov 12.-R. G. Dun 6
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
Before the election everything except
political uncertainties favored business
enlargement. The volume of trade has
been the greatest ever known in Oe-
tober and the greatest ever known in
my month except December, 1892. The
record Of November thus far shows
clearings 1914 per cent larger than last
year and 9.3 per cent larger than in
1872. The railroad earnings in october
have been SO per cent larger than last
year and so per cent larger than in
1892. Foreign trade shows an increase
Of 20 per cent in October in exports,
with 3S per cent in exports from New
York last week, while imports showed a
gain Of only % per cent in October and
credits against foreign bankers were
piling up at an inconvenient rate. There
was and is absolutely no anxiety about
the currency, and the treasury is only
too strong.
Wheat sold at "A cents a week ago
against 1912 Thursday night. with At
lantic exports, -four included, of $685.
500 bushels against 3,2744S9 last year,
and Pacific exports 1,0l6,96l against
1852, 1852 last year. Western receipts.
9,924.Oi5 bushels for the week against
7,255,514 last year. continue to render
the holding back of stocks manifestly a
failure. Corn has but slightly changed
in price, with exports of 2062. 1871 BUSH
els against 2.474.6n last year, and an
increase of more than a half In western
receipts. Cotton remains at the lowest
price on record, with heavy receipts.
Failures for the week were 2l1 in the
! United States against POI last year, and
! 26 in Canada against "a last year.

Making oyster shells Green.

Occasionally fresh oysters show up
green in the shells. Many persons
think the color is caused by contami-
nation from copper or some other
metal or substance, and that the oys-
tiers are not wholesome. The nation
al fish commission has recently made
an examination of green oysters, and
announces that the color is caused by
vegetable matter which serves as food
for the oysters, and that ii does not
in any manner detract from the
healthfulness or flavor of the bivalve.

E ARTHQUAKE PROTECTION.
How the Japanese Construct Their
PagOdas SO They WIN
Not Fall.

When the traveller in Japan looks at
some of the tall pagodas to be seen
there he naturally wonders why they
are not shaken to pieces by the earth
qualSes which are so common in mila-
do land. The only structures in japan
which seem to be earthqualSe-proof
are the pagodas, which are erected
before the temples. There are many
which are 700 or 500 years old, and as
solid as when built. There is a reason
for this, and it lies in their construc-
ton. \ pagoda is practically a frame
work of heavy timbers which start
from a wide base and is in itself a
substantial structure, but is rendered
still more stable by peculiar device.
Inside the framework and suspend
ed from the apex is long, heavy tim
Der two feet thick or more. This hangs
from one end, and 10 the other endar
bolted at each of the four sides four
more heavy timbers, and if the pa
CODA be very lofty stiH more timbers
are added. The whole forms an enor-
nous pendulum, which reaches within
six inches of the ground. When the
shock of an earthquake rocks the pa.
CODA the pendulum swings in unison
and keeps the center of gravity al
ways at the base of the framework
Consequently the equilibrium of the
pagoda is never disturbed, and this
is the explanation of the great age
Of many Of them, when from their
height one would suppose them to be
peculiarly susceptible to the effects

LONDON, Nov 12.-The weekly pa
pers, while they see in Tuesdays cleo
tions improved prospects Of currency
legislation, regret that the Republican
success was not more pronounced. They
express q fear that the results will en-
courage continental powers to increase
hostility toward the annexation of the
Philippines by the United States, al
though they doubt that there will be
any more serious Intervention than
acrimonious protests, las the powers
are aware that Great Britain would not
allow the United States to be overborne
by}a hostile coalition"
The Spectator says:
THE statesmen of the continent uni
versally fear the advent of the United
States in European politics. They can
not rid their heads of the idea that, If
they stand together as when they CO.
creed Japan, America will similarly
yield.
but their representations at Wash
ington are likely to irritate greatly the
national pride of the Americans. lead
ing to a universal support of President
Mckinley in a reply which. however
moderate in tone. will in effect be a
clear defiance. The excessive fear felt
Of an Anglo-Saxon alliance is shown by
the fact that the whole continent sees

to America all manner of menaces."
The Daily Chronicle says:
Emperor Williams visit to Spain is
probably connected with Germany's
ambition to secure the Carolines, see
ing that she cannot get a coalng sta
ton in the Philippines, but there is not
the remotest chance of war over the lat
ter. The fact that the British lion and
the American eagle will be on the same
side is the best guarantee of peace"
The Standard, which expresses sus-
picion as to the kaiser's intentions,
says:
Possibly Spain is mad enough to try
to renew the war, but European peace
will not be further disturbed"
The Paris correspondent Of The
Times, summarizing the points Of
Americas reply. says:
SPANS protest prior to the protocol
against being deprived Of the Philip
pines was in effect a recognition OF
Americas right to annex them. More
over, Spain would be compelled to make
great sacrifices in order to suppress the
Philippine insurrection.
AS for the holders of Cuban bonds
