WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
DISASTER TO THE MAINE HAS NOT
 AFFECTED BUSINESS.

Nothing Has Occurred to Check the In-
 crease in Production or in the Working
 Wages of Miners Expected to be General
 in Lake Region.
 New York, Feb. 18.-R. G. Dun & Co. in their weekly review of trade will say: The dreadful disaster to the Maine, much as it has affected all hearts, has not much affected business. Nothing has occurred to check the in- crease of production or in working force. The proposal of a general strike in the cotton mills to support the New Bedford strikers does not thus far seem likely to meet much response. An advance of 10 per cent. in wages by some Gogebic mines is expected to be general throughout the lake region, ex- pecting the Mesabi district and prices of ore from the other ranges this year that have been advanced 15 per cent. with an allotment of 6,000,000 tons out side the Carnegie mines, which be- tokens an output much the largest ever known.
 Exports exceeded imports in Janu- ary by $57,6S6,546, and in the past six months by $760 GOT, 642, the customs and internal revenue in seventeen days of February are more than $2,S00,000 larg CT than in the same part of January and the $3,500,000 imports of gold in January are already exceeded this month. Wheat has risen 3as cents, and exports continue so heavy that nla- terial advance is natural. Atlantic ex- ports in three weeks have been S,416, ,491 bushels, flour included, against 5,261,- 971 last year, and Pacific exports have been 2,476,652 against 1,474,7S2 last year. Such shipments, with heavy engage ments for the future in spite of il, 1,430,- : 631 bushels of corn exported against 12,507,2 PA bushels in the same weeks last year, are conclusive proof of the urgency of foreign needs.
 Wheat receipts hold up well though not exceeding last years as much as expected. The bottom fact is that the world needs wheat which this country only can supply for about six months to come. Cotton has held unchanged for spot, though a little lower for op- | tions, prospects of decrease in the next | year supply.
 | The boot and shoe business has in- creased greatly. The range of prices | for mems boots and shoes has ad- vanced an average of about 21a cents per pair Leather is practically un- changed, and hides change very little at Chicago, with Colorado and Buffalo | a shade lower. In the cotton manufac- ture production is restricted by strikes and some grades are a shade dearer. The recent opening of higher grade woolens at advanced prices meets less demand than was expected with less activity in lower grades and uneXpect- edly numerous cancellation of light weights indicating larger buying than consumption has yet warranted.
 Failures for the week have been 295 in the United States against 303 last year and 36 in Canada against 5S last l year.

That he had found a congenial place, was shown by his purchase of the Warehouse property on Second street from the late James ity could not be hid. A man of rare spirit and of keen sense of justice he was naturally consulted. At the annual school meeting in March, 1896, he was chosen member of our board of education, ,devoting his thoughts and energy to the school interests of the township until hefound 1t impossible to leave his room. Whatever he did it was with the determinationto do right. Though not a member of the Baptist church he was a sound adviser and hearty supporter. He enlisted in Com pany D, Twenty third Connecticut Vol unteers, serving in Louisiana and Mis- sissippi; was made aprisoner at Brash- ear City, La, and confined on Ship Is land. He was an ardent member of the G. A. R., and was connected with Reno post of this village.

MEDICAL SCHOOLS ADVANCE.
A Single Years Increase of Teaching
 Staff-Historical Sketch.

A Single Years Increase of Teaching
 Staff-Historical Sketch.
 The recent issue of the Yale Medical School catalogue recalls the early his tory of that institution and the story of its development since it's organiza- tion at the beginning of the century. The Medical School, which is now in its eighty-ffth year, was the first school to be organized as a separate department of Yale University. In the Fall of 1910, a charter was granted authorizing the establishment of a medical seminary to be known as the Medical Institution of Yale College. The School was organized two years later, and teaching was commenced in the Fall of 1913. The first professors were appointed by the College Cor poration from nominations made by the Connecticut Medical Society, which was jointly interested in the manage ment of the School.
 The early instruction consisted of didactic and clinical lectures and dis sections during short Winter course The nature of the School and it's meth
 
 cognized position in the medical in- struction of the time. As years passed the curriculum was altered from time to time to meet the demands of chang ing relations between practitioners and students, and of even greater change in medicine itself. In 1879 the entrance requirements were largely increased, and a graded course of study was adopted covering three years of eight months each, with additional labora- tory instruction.
 In 1884 the University assumed en- tire control of the School through an agreement with the Medical Society. The department of the School from that time on has been marked not only by an increasing attendance, but also in the perfecting of the Schools equip l ment, and by an improved curriculum. | The course of study has recently been increased again, so that beginning | with the class which entered in 1896, | four years of work will be required | before graduation. The Class of Nine | ty-Nine will be the first to graduate | under the new requirement. The erection of a new Laboratory Building | provided new laboratories for Anat- 1 omy, Histology, Pathology, Bacterio- logy, Pharmacy. Chemistry and Phy- I siology.
 The growth of the New Haven Hos | pital and the New Haven Dispensary l has greatly increased the facilities for 1 clinical instruction, and the students are required to do large amount of | personal work in the clinics as assist ! ants to the physicians in charge. The l system of instructing mainly by didac- tic lectures is no longer followed in the i School, and the curriculum, which con- ! sists mainly of recitations, explanatory | lectures, laboratory work and clinical | instruction, is graded to furnish a sys- tematic presentation of the essentials | of medical study.-Yale Alumni Week. ] ly.
