Monthly Review of Trade Conditions

Volume of payments through clear

maintenance of such a volume
of general trade and industry in mid

steel industries still boom and prices
continue to rise.

chants report trade as being better

ALUM BAKING POWDERS.
Names of Some of the Principal
Brands Sold Around Here.

The recent discussion in the papers
of the effect upon the human system
of food made with alum baking pow
ders and the opinions that have been
published from noted scientists to the
effect that such powders render the
food unwholesome, have caused num-
erous inquiries for the names of the
various alum powders.
The following list of baking pow
ders containing alum is made up from
the reports of State Chemist Nichol-
son of Nebraska. the City Chemist of
st. Louis, the Food Commission of
Minnesota, or other reliable authority:
BAKING POWDERS CONTAINING ALUM:
K. g. Contains Alum
Jacques Mfg. Co, Chicago.
Bon Bon. Contains Alum
Grant Chemical Co, Chicago.
Home Contains Alum
Home Baking Powder Co. San Francisco.
eertect. Contains Alum
Perfsct Baking Powder Co. st Louis
Glover Leaf. 800. Contains Alum
Pacific Mfg Co. Los Angeles.
Calumet Contains Alum
Calumet Co. Chicago.
In addi ton to these, it is learned
that many grocers are selling what
they call their own private or special
brands. These powders are put up
for the grocer and his name put upon
the labels by manufacturers of alum
powders in st Louis, Chicago, Kansas
City, Salt Lake, San Francisco and
elsewhere. The manufacturers, it is
said, find their efforts to market their
goods in this way greatly aided by
the ambition of the grocer to sell
powder with his own name upon the
label, especially when the grocer can
make an abnormal profit upon it.
Many grocers, doubtless, do not know
that the powders thy are thus pushing
are alum powders which would be &C
tually contraband in many sections if
sold without disguise.
1t is quite impossible to give the
names of all the alum baking powders
in the market. They are constantly
appearing in all sorts of DISCUSSES,
under all kinds of cognomens, and at
all kinks of prices, oven DIS low as five
and ten cents pound. They can be
avoided, however, by the housekeeper
who will bear in mind that all baking
powders sold at twenty-five cents or
less per pound are liable to contain
alum, as pure cream of tartar baking
powders cannot be produced at any
thing like this price.

WASHINGTON LETTER.


Will there be change in the Phil
ippine policy of the administration?
That question has been asked quite
frequently since Senator Burrows
made the hat-footed declaration that
McKinley's reelection was largely de-
pendent upon the successful ending of
the Philippine war before the Presi-
dental campaign. There is no doubt
that the administration fully realizes
by Mr.. Burrows, but SO much was not
intended to be made public, so early
In the game, and, while nothing has
been openly said on the subject, there
has been much private abuse of Bur
rows in administration circles for
having let such troublesome cat out
of the political bag. Although Secre-
tary Root has yet done nothing open
ly to confirm the talk about his being
instructed to win Gen. Miles over to
the administration side, by allowing
him to have the direction at the
Washington end OF future military
movements in the Philippines. There
are many who think there is founda-

Beware of Ontments for Catarrh
that contain Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucuous surfaces. Such articles
should never be used except on pres

the damage they will do is ten fold to
the good you can possibly derive from
them. Halls Catarrh cure, manufact-

A BIG DEAL.
Only 100000 Acres, the Result of
This Sale, Changes Hands and
Barrels of Money Come Into Ari-
IONA

The biggest deal in the way of a
land sale has just been consumated
by DIR. E B. Perrin for the Perrin
Land and Cattle commany, by which
nearly 100000 acres of land be-
longing to that company changes into
the hands of J. Addison Addicks, of
Delaware, and the company Mr.. Ad-
dicks represents.
Mr.. Addicks and party of friends
were here not long since in the special
car Olantha, as the guests of DR..
Perrin and family and business as
sociates. At that time, from those
not posted, the common inquiry was,
"Who are those people and what are
they intending to do?" The question
has been satisfactorily answered and
to the credit of Dr. PERKINS, indefati-
gable labor and ability, since now the
object of their mission has been made
public.
This sale is by odds the largest land
deal that has ever been effected in
Arizona, and a deal, if it had been
made i'll a country unused to heavy
transfers of business interests, that
would appall the slow going eAsterner,
when the fact is taken into considera-
ton that this one transfer of land
means the transfer of more lands than
is found within the confines of the
state of Delaware, and would en-
brace more than one county of the
eastern states; but in the great COM
monwealth of Arizona where school
districts are to be found larger than
some of the eastern states, the scope
of the territory does not create any
unnecessary excitement.
DIR. Perrin deserves great credit for
effscting this sale, as the amount of
money involved runs away up into the
thousands, and it has cost a vast
amount of labor and several thousands
of dollars of expense to bring about
the sale. He has placed the land
with people who command money in
vast amounts, and a company that is
buying to improve and spend thou
sands of dollars more.
The company that has purchased
the land will Immediately place about
a half million sheep on this tract,
and those conversant with the sheep
industry know that industry takes
money to carry on and is u profitable
source of industry to bring money in,
and great means of keeping money
in constant circulation.-W Williams

anything done by the administration
is brought about before the Presiden
tiol campaign, Mr.. Mckinley will not
have ghost of show for reelection:
and those most familiar with the ST
tuation do not believe that continue
ton of the military methods OF
General Otis will do it. The people
will overthrow any administration
that stands for a perpetual war in the
Philippines, or anywhere else.
The deficit for the first month of
the new fiscal year was close to $1,000,
900. Officials speak of this as a sa-
tisfactory showing, but it remains to
be seen what the people will think of
showing, which if maintained during
the remainder of the fiscal year will
mean deficit for the year of more
than 100000,
The very mild nature of the state
ment made by Mr.. Alger just before
he left Washington, and which he
was pleased to call a vindication of
the charges against his administration
of the War Department, indicates
that he was persuaded not to attack
the administration publicly, but
whether he will be of the same mind
after talking with Pingree, who is
nothing if not a straight-from-the-
shoulder fighter for everything that
gets in front of his plans, remains to
be seen. Members of the admins
tration are hugging the belief that
Alger will not give away the secret he
knows.
In the absence of more important
news the suppression of Cuban
daily paper in Havana and the arrest
of its staff by order of Gen. Ludlow.
military cemmandant of that city,
has been been much discussed. At
the War Department it is said that
Gen. Ludlow acted without any or
ders from Washington and that ne
further explanation of his action has
been received than was contained in
the press dispatches. On general
principles the average American be-
lieves in free press and free speech
and for that reason nearly every one
who speaks of the matter condemns
the suppression of the paper. Gen.
Garcia who is still in Washin gton
talked freely of the matter, as he sees
it. He said: "The suppression of
the Havana Reconcentrado was, in
my Judgment, q serious mistake. 1t
was the Spanish custom; you know, to
arrest editors and suppress their
papers for daring to criticise Spanish
methods, and it would seem from Gen.
Ludlow's action that he is pursuing
the Spanish policy which has so justly
and so rightly been denounced by the
United States. Again, this act of
the military authorities will be con-
structed by many Cubans to mean
that the civil authorities are mere
figure heads and will no doubt pro-
duce bad feeling. There can be no
independence or personal liberty with
out free speech and a free press.
What would the people of the United
States say if the authorities should
suppress a newspaper for abusing just
ly, or unjustly, the administration?
The people of the United States
would not tolerate it. Of course, l
do not know all the facts, but 1 do
know that to be CONSTANT General
Ludlow will have to suppress other
papers that have the temerity to cri-
ticise the officials appointed by Gen
Brooke; also that he has established
what is likely to be troublesome
precedent.

MASTODON MONOPOLIES.

the total capitalization of all
the trusts in the county, May
%, 81, 416, 235,779.
Their capitalization in the
middle of March was over ST..
600, 600. The capital invested
in these combines increased
over as per cent in 4 little more
than one month.
1t is easy to say $1,000, 900.
But counted at the rate of 81 a
second during twelve hours
day, it would require one person
430 years to count the sum.
1t is sufficient to pay the ex-
penses of the United States
Government for fifteen years.
At the rate earned by some of
the trusts the interest on it
would run the Government for
ever.
1t is more than any other
national debt in the world. 1t
is seven times the bonded debt
of the United States.
1t is $500 for every family in !
