DUN'S REVIEW.
sood Prospects For Large Crops This
Year.


NEW YORK, July 9.--R. G. Dun 4
Co.'S weekly review Of trade says:
The usual half yearly statement OF
failures by branches OF business is pc
culiarly interesting because it shows
that war and fears of war have not
caused increase in commercial disas-
ters. The surprisingly large and gem
eral decrease in trading defaults would
without doubt be accompanied by cor
responding returns as TO manufacturing
but for excessive expansion in some
lines and the helpless condition reached
by a few large firms in other branches.
Criticism Of crop estimates is the less
needful because the best authorities all
agree that supplies for the coming year
promise to greatly exceed home require
ments and a full export demand, though
for a month or two yet Europe may re-
quire much moro than usual. This will
help to sustainithe market, while the
earlier receipts are coming forward, and
prices will then be determined largely
by the outlook for crops abroad. which
is not as yet entirely encouraging.
The fiscal year has ended with finan
cial results a shade beyond general ex
pectations. and the new war tax begins
to increase revenue, not seriously dis
turbing business in any line. No reason
yet appears to apprehend that the wa
revenue will fall below expectations.
Failures for the week have been 229 II
the United States against 206 last year
and II in Canada against 30 last year.

ture chances for money-making. Aside
from sugar, hemp is the greatest artl-
Gle OF export in the philippines, and
about 40 per cent. of all grown is sent
to this country. One firm in Boston
paid on an average Of 3 cents a pound
in Manila for $4,000 tons OF hemp in
the ten years previous to last January.
For the past twelve years the exporta-
tion Of hemp from the Philippines to
this country has been worth 81, ,4000 900
year. There are immense possiblli-
ties for hemp culture now that the
Spanish will soon be driven out.
'What the Americans have done in
the fertile valleys of Hawaii during the
last generation will be duplicated in
the Philippines in the next. indigo
plants grow in incredible luxuriance in
the Philippines. The soil is so fertile
that the least labor gives surprising
results. Indigo plants yield double the
capital used. Think of that. Many OF
the richest families in Manila-peOple
who live in Paris and Madrid about
one-third OF the time, and keep up royal
establishments-hav made their
princely fortunes in the indigo trade.
The Alverado family owns an indigo
plantation Of some $4,000 acres, and
derives from 1t a revenue Of fully S4O,-
600 a year. The least enterprlsing
American can see chances for limitless
Improvements there, and could double
the profit.
THE WONDERFUL COCOANUTS,
"Cocoanut trees are sources Of inn

OF $3.50 an acre from coooanut farms
are usual. Every part OF the tree is
used-the juices make oil and wine, the
fiber Of the leaves are woven into cloth
and the husks OF the nuts are shipped
to England by the boatload TO b'
manufactured into doOrmats. To the
native, the cocoanut tree is the stan oI

housekeeper was to be given the box for
nothing, the only charge being SO cents

The meeting was not final and no author

meeting merely incidental to Mr..
Towne's visit to Washington. 1t is under
stood. however, that the principal subject
discussed was the devising of plan for
holding the silver forces together for the

1t was decided that local silver leaders Of

HE MAKES FAIR PROMISES.
F'rom the Minneapolis Tribune. }

From the Minnea polls Tribune)
Up to a few days ago Mayor Van WICK
INDUCED in a discreet and golden silence
Ihls silence has been broken only to deny
a report that he was about to enter
prominent New York law firm, and to de-
clare that he will carry out the solemn
contract he made taking his oath of
office. This was to give his entire atten-
ton to the affairs Of the great metropolis.
He adds that he shall also require from his
subordinates the same exclusive devotion
to the interests of the city. The New
York Mail and Express, a vigorous sup
porter Of Seth Low for the mayoralty,
concludes that Mayor Van Wyck is either
trying to dupc the people with fine prom
ises, or that he really intends to give the
city "a clean, broad. progressive govern
ment, which shall be free from scandals of
jobbery, corruption and betrayal"
TO do this, he must cut loose from Tam
many and its methods. Should he so cut
loose, his best support will come from
those who opposed his election. In COM
mon with other far-minded newspapers
and people. the Mail and Express hopes
that Mayor Van Wyck may act as we'll as
he talks, and raise his performances to the
full level of his promises.

No method of manuring land more cheaply

grown is all or nearly all put back again
upon the land. 1t is distributed over the
surface without any labor on the part of
man. The higher portions OF the land are
given more of the fertility than the lower
portions, since the sheep rest more on
these, and such portions are thus given
the exact treatment which they require

SO much time in removing fences and in
renewing the crops The objection is we'll
taken. 1t is not necessary for him to do
50. The farmer can get along with two or
three heldS, and by growing two three
OF these crops in single season. He can
manage very well with two fields in adj
dition to grass pasture. This would enable
him to grow al least four pasture crops in
one season. But in our experiment it was
unnecessary to have many plots and
an experiment in an entirely new field.
We were led of necessity to try many
plants, not a few of which proved failures
The principle, however, viz, that of grow
ing various fodder plants to help out the
pastures, and the possibility of growing
these, has been clearly demonstrated 1t
rests with the farmer to adapt it to his
conditions, since there is no arabic section
of the United States in which it cannot be
adopted with much advantage.

mittee. During this time 12o dealers have
become members of this association, giving
it the largest membership of any retail
hardware association in the United States.

ton to all retail hardware dealers in the
states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa,
