PHOSPHATE NOTES.


kNS ioT
Thee. M. Stephan, Of Georgstrasse,
Germany, writing to the Manufact-
urers' Record, says:
II am interested in many lines of
American articles, manufactures,
such as machinery, as we'll as raw
materials (pig iron, phosphate rock +,
not excluding animal foodstuffs
(oilcake, etc There is wide mar
ket here for any of these articles,
though many of our American man
ufactures may already be repre-
scented. Every year adds 100000
lives to the consumers list and sew
eral millions Of domestic animals
that must be fed and fattened. And
no matter how much phosphate aud
furnace Stag, etc, are annually
added to the soil, the latter cannot
produce the necessary supply And
so it is with pig iron; the demand
far exceeds the supply. The pig
iron syndicate has exhausted its
available stock till July, 1900, and
the works are running dreadfully
behind for want of pig iron. If |
had prices, analyses and samples |
could sell thousands of tons most
every day"

Power ola Newspaper.

A newspaper whose columns over
flow with advertisements of busi-
ness men has more influence in at
tracing attention to building up a
town than any other agency that can
be employed. People go where
there is business Capital and labor
go where there is an enterprisIng
community. Nopower on earth is
so strong to build up a town as Il
newspaper we'll patronizei, and its
power should be appreciated.-r
