 Prices continued to break last Saturday and in many cases the figures reached were below the level of last Noymbr.

INDIANS SUFFER HARDSHIP.
Ahoat for Two Days Without Food in traI
 Canoe.

Crescent City, Cal, March B.-Two m dlans bringing evidence of having suffered extreme hardship, arrived in this port last evening in a frall canoe. They had been atioat for two days and nights without food and exposed to the buffeting of wind and wave in the coldest storm of the sea- son. The Indians belong to a British Co., lumbia tribe, and the following account Of their mirfortunes was told through an in terpreter:
 The schooner Teresa left Nootkai Sun day, near Vancouver, B. C.. about six weeks ago. on a sealing expedition with crew and sealing force of twenty-five men. Last Monday when off the Oregon coast, few miles. north of the mouth of the Rogue river, the vessel cast anchor, and ten small boats, each manned by two or three men, started out in quest of seals. A sudden and violent storm coming up, the boat manned by these two Indians was unable to reach the schooner, and it was only by superior skill that they were able to keep their boat afloat. They drifted down the coast and effected a landing at Crescent City. The Indians believe that a number, if not all, of those in the small boats have either foundered or been dashed to pieces on the rocks of the coast.
 They also believe tha the Teresa has been wrecked, as the most of the crew were in the small boats when the storm struck them.

foremost colleges in Massachusetts, laid great stress upon simplicity and force in the use Of the English language, reaching all the way from the advertisements to the leading editorials, and selected the ad- vertising of our house as an illustration to be presented to this class of learned young men who were receiving the highest edu- cation obtainable in this country.
 "The matter of illustration comes in in a very important way in modern adver Using. The time has gone by when wood cuts made by carpenters will do for news paper advertising. The time has come when the commercial man must not only have good English in his trade announce ments, but good Illustrations as well. Very little importance has been attached to the illustrations for advertising in the daily papers.
 illustration for advertising purposes is very often like poster work. It is sugges- tive in its artistic character, if not in the moral character of the subject. But com mercial art has come to occupy a very i'm portant place, and it Is entirely useless for a man to expend ,s20O or $500 in an adver- tisement in a newspaper, and then save ten or fifteen dollars in an illustration. He had better have his illustration of the high est artistic character he can get"

ADVERTISING AS A
 BUSINESS FORGE Robert C. Ogden Talks of It to
 Many Merchants. KEY TO COMPLETE SUCCESS System of Commercial Publicity Has, He Says, Taken Place in Modern literature
 Advertising Power That Must
 Be Recognized.
KEY TO COMPLETE SUCCESS

From the New York Press.
 Robert c. Ogden, resident partner of John Wannamaker talked on Advertising as Business Force'' at the convention of the Merchants Association yesterday.
 I've all know" he said, that advert. S. ing is a business force, and a very great power. that has to be recognized most thoroughly
 With the public mind fixed upon busi- ness as 1t now is, with the competition that exists between traders, 1t is undoubt- edly the fact that without advertising of the proper kind business cannot be suc- cessfully prosecuted to any large degree. Therefore, I consider the advertising as the force that is to vitalize all the other work that may be put into the business. After the merchandise is purchased, after the service is hired, the steam that is gen. erated r. order to make the machine move, is the aL. rtising.
 "A great deal of advertising fails of its results, because the advertiser gets dis couraged. The most successful advertising that I have ever known is that which has been exploited on a very large scale. The man who has had the courage to advertise to certain extent and spend $29,000 should have the courage to spend another $5,000 and vitalize all the rest. Lack of courage is one of the most common ex-
 
 now of newspaper advertising and the ad- vertising of general merchandise
 "The manager of department, the sales people who are to sell the goods, should be told the policy of the head of the business, so far as advertising is concerned, and the way the matter is to be presented to the public, so as to arouse the interest of all.
 ''The column of the newspaper is the merchants rostrum. It is his pulpit It is his stump. From that he addresses the public at large. From that he speaks to his constituency. He speaks to his audi ence. Advertising is the channel through which the merchant speaks to the people he desires to address.
 His advertising is the test of his char acter. It must be true. As he speaks, and as the people have opportunity to judge of the truth of his printed utter ances day by day, they will form their esti- mate of his character. His character Is a branch of his advertising: and therefore it must always be true.
 "But if a man Is not going to waste his money in advertising, it must never be stupid. It should be put in simple and forceful language. One of the most dis tinguished literateurs in the country, ad- dressing class of students at one of our

WHAT BRADsTREET SAYS

New York, March 18.-Bradstreets will say tomorrow: The aggregate volume of business of the country continues sufficient iy large to allow of favorable comparisons with past periods alike in this and pre- ceding years Aside from a demand at a few eastern markets, the situation is about best reports coming from the west and northwest. Favorable weather has im- proved the distribution of dry goods, cloth ing millinery, building materials, agricul- fural implements and nearly all other prod ucts forming staple articles of consump- ton among the prosperous farming com munities.
 The movement of iron and steel is large, but without effect on prices which are gen. orally very firmly held. Some light ad- vances in pig iron, in fact, have been a feature of the week at some accounts. Southern iron manufacturers are active md fruit and vegetable shipments promise alike to be early and heavy.
 Shipments of Cereals
 Other favorable features of the country's general trade situation are summed up in liberal shipments of elading cereals, un- precedented totals of exports at New York, fewer business failures and slightly larger bank clearings. Prices have moved ir- regularly during the week. The position of print cloths is a very depressed one, prices during the past week reaching the lowest quotation on record. While low grade cottons have been weak the medium and finer grades have however, maintained prices, as have also coffee, sugar, mo,aSses, Iron and copper and raw wool.

Have Changed the Current 0
 Business
WHICH CONTINUES ONWARD
Great Excess of Merchandise Exports Over Febru- ary-Pg Iron and Finished Products With Exception of Wire Nails
 Remain Unchanged.

New York March 1S-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Neither peace nor war reports have changed the onward current of business. Orders for more than S25, ,5OO,O GOO gold from Europe have blocked any drift toward stringency in rates for money and treasury receipts of about $1 100000 per day have kept in check any question about the cur rency, while exports of products have con- tinued with a rate considerably higher and the demands for products of the great industries shows steady expension. Prompt action by the senate and the house has re- moved all fear of embarrassment through conflicting purposes at Washington The government Is making ready without any waste of time, while frankly assuring everybody that it looks for peaceful set tlement and hopes that its preparations may prove unnecessary.
 Excess of Merchandise
 The backbone of the situation is the ex- cess of merchandise exports, more than $41 900 in February with an increase of $2200,000 in miscellaneous products, $2100,- 0O0 in provisions, & 300, 900 in cotton and $7, 100000 in breadstuffs compared with last year, and $l5,1 900 in all products. In two weeks of March exports have been 16 per cent. larger than last year and imports nave gained but S7 per cent, although es- pecially swelled by receipts of India rub Der, sugar and hides. The outgo of cot ton surpasses all expectations though the price was stronger last week and the ex- port demand apparently paid no attention to market fluctuations. Receipts from plantations continue much greater than at the corresponding from the largest crop heretofore produced so that the guesses about the future crop are now the main reliance of spectators.
 Wheat Moves Up
 Wheat also moves in spite of all specula- tion Exports for three weeks from both coasts were 10.639,125 bushels against A. 63S,4H bushels last year. The price has varied with conflicting reports, but closed Ac higher for the week.
 Wool shows no change in quotations, though eastern markets are extremely dull and transactions were only 2,062 300 pounds this week against 10,891 300 pounds last year. Little encouragement appears in the market for cotton goods with print cloth 1-16c lower than a week ago and standard grades undersold by many of less note The demand Is large, but not large enough. In wooden goods, on the contrary, the ma terial advance in prices has raised the only obstacle to increased transaction.
 Pig iron is unchanged, and so are fin- ished productions, except wire nails, which are cents per keg weaker; and steel rails, which are said to be sold at $1750 at the east by some establishments.
 Failures for the week have been POS in the United States against 216 last year

CHANCERf DELEGATIONS.
Letter From State Chairman Knox Which Ex-
 plains the Situation.
To the Editor of The Age Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 There seems to be some confusion in this chancery division, and perhaps in other parts of the state, as to whether 1t is per- missible to have a separate delegation to the chancery convention, where the chan cery convention is held at the same time as the state convention To settle this question, I wrote to the chairman of the state executive committee for his opinion in regard to the matter. With his views en- tirely accord, and ask that you publish his letter for the information of those who are in doubt about the matter. Yours very truly, J: l.. BURNETT.
 Gadsden, March IS, 1898.
 In reply to your letter of March !, just received, I will say that the action of the state executive committee in providing for the call of conventions for the nomination of circuit judges and chancellors applies only in these judicial circuits and chancery divisions which have no executive com mittees, and said action was taken in con- formity to the previous custom which has prevailed for some years.
 In making the call for conventions for the several judicial circuits and chancery divisions having no executive committees, it was not the intention of the state exec utive committee to prescribe the manner in which delegates. should be selected. and in my opinion it is perfectly competent for the several counties to send separate dele gations to the state, judicial and chancery conventions, or to authorize the same dele gation to represent the county in all these conventio s. Yours very truly,
