R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of
trade, last week, said: The iron indus.
try shows no yielding in material but a
little advance in Bessemer pix at Pitts
burg, with large inquiry for next year.
Prices of rails are maintained with one
contract reported of 5000 tons for
japan and another pending for South
Africa. Structural prices do not yield
and angles are quoted higher. The gen
eral ratio of prices for all finished prod
uefs is now , "a per cent lower than
Nov. |, although the average for pig
iron is one per cent higher. Copper is
unchanged; the large sale by the Calu-
met and Hecla, the October product
being reported at %, $50 tons in the
United States or | ,265 tons more than in
September.
Sales of wool pass all records, having
been at the three chief markets 81 694 :
BOB pounds in three weeks Of November
whereas in only one other full month
have sales ever reached sixty million
pounds. The demand for goods con-
t;nues so large as TO encourage much
buying by mills in spite of the advanc.
ing prices. Cotton goods are rising also
and print cloths have been advanced an
eighth. Cotton advanced three-siX-
teenths, the decrease of nearly 500,0 200
bales in exports this month being more
than balanced by light receipts from
plantations.
Exports of merchandise from New

The reports of the Sixth Auditors
Office in Washington, just published,
show that the citizens of Skowhegan,
during the last fiscal wear between June
80, 1898 and July l, 1899, paid $S,6S7 q
for postage stamps. This is very good
showing for a presidential Office of the
second class. Oul of this total the gov
erument paid 81 900 for the postmaster's
salary and 81 100 for clerk hire. Rent
of office, light and fuel cost the govern
ment $3.50 and tother incidental ex

the total expenses OF the Skowhegan

Madison is also a presidential Office,
but it is of the third class. The net rev.

Maine Savings Bank.

Bank Examiner Tint erlake reports
that the amount of deposits in savings
banks according to the latest reports
from each bank, has increased mater-
ally in the past six months. 1t is the
custom required by law in order that
the savings bank tax may be determined
for the saving Institutions, to make a
return to the bank examiner on the 3lst
of April and October of each year. III
this is given the condition of the bank
with all the minute details The ex-
aminer goes through them, makes up
the market value 1.-The stocks held by
the banks, determining according to the
latest reports of their value, and then
gives the returns over to the State
assessors who assess the tax.
Mr.. Timberlake says, that he amount
of The tax for the past six months
would, he thought, reach $4,000, and
possibly more. The deposits in the
Maine institutions, he said, had increas-
ed to quite an extent. From tie diff.
erence between the last tax assessed
and the contemplated one it can be
found that the increase in deposits
must have been nearly $1,000 900; for
the value of the United States bonds
and other securities exempt or partially
so have, as rule. increased in value
making a greater sum 10 be exempt
This goes to show that the savings
banks are being appreciated by the
money saving people and that the peo
pie are having more labor and conse.
quently are making more money.
These increases are looked more as q
guage to the middle classes than of the
richer ones, and the increase is but one
of the things that goes to show that
better times are existing all over Maine

Biographical Sketch of Mrs
Eddy

The Founder of Christian Science i
the title of an interesting and timely
article in the November number of the
New England Magazine, by Henrietta
II. Williams.
The Rev. Mary Baker Eddy, discoyerer
and founder of Christian Science, author
of the denominational textbook
"Science and Health with Key 10 the
Scriptures and the acknowledged spr-
tual adviser of II very large and growing
body of intelligent Christian men and
women, is a woman whose history Is
intensely interesting to thoughtful peo-
Pile of all shades of opinion. In little
more than a quarter of century this
gifted woman has established a church
with thriving branches all over the
world and converted to her ideas Of
practical Christianity hundreds of thou
sands of people.
This excellent article reveals the lead
er of the Christian Science movement In
a way that is new to most readers. for
we see her in the friendly setting of her
New England home, among the hills of
New Hampshire where she WAS born
and reared aud where she still loves To
dwell in the busy retirement of "PlesS-
ant View" IL the suburbs IF Concord.
Mrs. Williams has evidently been
faithful in cleaning the facts in regard
10 the life of Mrs. Eddy, for She relates
some Incidents never before published,
OF the home life and training of the nov
famous woman, which show how her
experience prepared her for the work
she has accomplished. The article IS
illustrated with twenty-five half.tone
engiavings, which add greatly to lis
value rs history. Some OF the scene, IF
Mrs. Eddy's childhood are particularly
interesting Ia students of Christian
Science. During the era of church
building begun by the Christian Seen-
lists five or six years ago, they have
erected many beautiful editices in the
leading cities of the country. 4 few of
the more costly of these are represented

Wool ems and WOrsted.

The manufacture of wOolens and
worsted In the State of Maine and, for
that matter all around, is IN a healthy
condition at this time. Mills generally
are well fixed with orders for delivery
for some months ahead and at remun-
erative prices. The advance In wool
gives mills that had good supply on
hand good profit on the wool because
of the advance in manufactured goods.
This state of affairs, rising market,
creates a very complacent feeling on
the part of persons engaged in manu-
featuring and stimulates them to in
creased exertlons.
The American Wooden Company are
pursuing a movement for the purpose
of concentrating each kind of work by
massing the wooden machinery in one
line of mills and the worsted in another,
for the purpose of economizing in the
manufacture of both lines. 10 pursuing
this course three sets of cards and a
sufficient number of mules to cores
pond with the cards, have been added
recently to machinery in the Skowhe-
gan mill and looms and finishing ma.
chinery are to be put in sufficient to cor
respond, at an early day. This add.
tional machinery will, it is expected,
increase the product of the mill fully
% per cent and ultimately require Is
to 20 per cent more help.
The new Marston Worsted Mills are
running full blast on extra time aud
find a quick and strong market for
their product. They are still running
on light weight worsteds.
The Lakeside Mill at East Madison
is working over time and making heavy
shipments of worsteds. This mill has
been a success from the start and has
run steadily, nearly five years.

1t appears that Gen. Kitchener has
gained an important victory over the
Dervishes in the vicinity of his great
victory of 1898 in the upper Nile region.
The Dervshes were utterly defeated
their whole camp was taken and thou
sands surrendered. A large number of
women, children and cattle also fell
into the hands of the Anglo Egyptian
forces. The khaifa who was surround
ed by body guard of emirs, was killed,
and all the principal emirs were killed
or captured, except the famous Osman
Digma, who escaped. This news is joy
fully received in England. 1t is crumb
of comfort that comes along with the
information from South Africa which is
not so comfortable.
