Dry Goods

NEW YoRK-Therc has been q
growth of,interest in dry goods during

activity In the local district than has
been the case heretofore. The goods
needed for army use, which include

ding, black silesias, drilling. unbleached
muslin, ten and twelve ounce cotton
duck and tent drill. and In woolens
blouse flannels, dark blue shirtinGs.
f%lannels. kerseys, lining flannels and
blankets, have shown a stronger market
all around on the strength Of a we'll dis
trlbnted interest shown by prospective
bidders. This has OF course Influenced
the general market for allied goods In
tho several divisions affected and the re-
suit has been a generally more s~atisfac-
tory market all around and q more
hopeful future for sellers. Print cloths
have shown poor results through the
week. Woolens show slightly more nc.
.tlvity for fall. The market has been
strengthened by the demand for govern
ment use for all wool goods. Sales have
been q degree heavier during the week

Carpets, rugs, ETC., are kept in place

has a number of sharp points set in it's
surface to hold the edges of the car
pet after the plate is screwed down to
the floor.
Bicycles can be identified by a new

A Chicago man has patented a cross
cut saw which can be operated by one
man, a crescent-shape blade being
pressed against the log by a spring and
rocked part way around a circle by
means of a crank and gear wheels.
Meats can be marked without stain
ing by a new device, consisting of
raised letters attached to a wire frame,
against which the meat is allowed to
rest until an indentation shows, when
the meat is dried and hardened by
smoke.
An improved method of attaching the
collar and tie to q shirt consists of loops
formed on the collar, tie and neckband,
through which a spring ring is forced,
which extends nearly around the neck
under the tie and prevents the slipping
of collar and tie.

The Climate OF til. Seat War.

III vi IL St"t
A long editorial is devoted by The
Medical Record (June lS) to the
Cuban climate, with some remarks on
that Of the PHILIPPINES. After noting
that the greatest extremes o: opinion
exist on the subject of the healthful-
ness or unhealthfulness of Cuba in
the rainy seasoD, the writer says:
"Pessimists contend that it is i'll a
high degree deadly to the white man.
while optimists are as in
asserting that, provided needful pre-
cautions are taken, the air is quite
salubrious. We have always been of
the opinion that the eli nate of the is
land, at least on the coast and in the
lowlands, during the wet season from
May to October, is decidedly un-
healthy. Certain it is that its effects
on the Spanish soldiery have been
most disastrous, although . :.
much Of this excessive rate Of mortal
ity has been due to the inefficient
system of hygiene, to bad diet, I'M
suitable clothing, and the carelessness
universally prevailing among the mil
itary authorities with regard to the
health of the rank and file of the
army. However, there is no evading
the fact that the landing of a large
body Of more or less raw, unaccli
matiZed men in the lowlands of d re-
puted unhealthy coast at the begin
ming Of the rainy season is an expert
ment that must from the very nature
of things be attended with much
risk. Therefore any accurate ipfor-
nation on the subject is both apropos
and welcome. a pamphlet has re-
Gently been issued by the weather
bureau Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, prepared from
information collected by w. F. r.
Phillips, in charge OF the section OF
climatology, and which contains in
it's pages all that is at present known
concerning the climates OF Cuba and
Manila.
"Mr. Phillips's report is highly in
terestIng, and should serve to remove
certain misapprehensions which now
exist respecting the temperature and
rainfall Of Cuba. The belief is wide
spread that the heat and rainfall are
infinitely greater than in any part of
this country; whereas in reality. the
average summer temperature Of Ha-
vana is but little higher than that of
New Orleans, while It's rainfall is act
ually less. The climate of The low
coast lands Of Cuba is that of the tor
rid zone, and in the rainy seasons
doubtless exercises a pernicious effect
upon the health of unacclimatized
white men. The higher interior of
the island enjoys a more temperate
atmosphere. The average tempera-
ture of Manila is 80 degrees f. The
months Of April, May, and Juno are
the hottest part of the year. May,
with an average temperature of 81
degrees F., IS the hottest Of the three.
The highest thermometer reading re.
corded is 100 degrees F.; this was OBJ
served in May. The average relative
humidity is 70 per cent. The v
age absolute humidity is S.75 grains
in a cubic foot. The average rain
fall is 75.43 inches, of which 1850
inches, more than 81 per cent, fall
during the month Of July"
