believes to be absolutely necessary to
anese market.
Some interesting bits Of information,
however, are vouchsafed concerning
the achievements of some American
manufacturers. Recently a critical
test of English and American locomo-
tives was made, and the judgment was
rendered in favor of the engines made
in this country. AS a result of this
superiority, the United States shipped
last year to Japan locomotives aggre-
eating in value $1,191,9 06. while Great
little more than 100000. These figures
are the more remarkable in view of
the fact that England started Japan's
railway system, was given a conse-
quent precedence in its development
and until last year led all other coun-
tries in the value of her locomotive
expectation.
Consul Conveys information concern
ing cotton spinning machinery is not
so encouraging, the figures standing
$2,632, 500 to $4,557 in favor of Great
Britain.
1t is in the small wares that America
seems to lag, owing to improper pack
ing, ignorance of the demands of the
market and lack of personal effort.
While impressing upon American
manufacturers the Importance of these
defects, Consul Convey cites some in
stances of eXecrable packing, entailing
loss to shippers as we'll as injury to
the reputation of, the American house.

Spain and the questions bound up in it. the
German government understands those cues

the men governing Germany knew that our

nations, those who conduct the German gov

the great interests of commerce between the

Trade Conditions in Japau

In his last report on trade condi-
tons in Japan, Consul General Convey
sounds a note that will seem much out
of harmony with the tenor of the
American tradesmen's ways. He urges
manufacturers here to study the pecu-
liarities of the japanese market, where
there are, in his opinion, immense pos
sibilities for American goods But"
he says, at would be well for the
Americans to note a little more closely
that the markets of the East cannot
be obtained entirely by wide-awake
methods"

striding Away From Expansion.

Public opinion against the policy of terri
torial expansion Is making rapid Roadway
throughout the country. An organized move
ment has been started for agitattng the sub,
ject and educating public opinion against the
tendency toward imperialism. few weeks
ago an Antt-Expansion league was organized
in Massachusetts,, and now similar organiza-
tons or branches of the same are already es-
tablshed in over thirty states. This is q
wholesome and. if properly conducted, may
be an important movement in political edu-
cation. The subject Of territorial expansion
has never been adequately discussed by the
American people. 1t has. SO to speak, been
sprung upon the nation as the accident of a
successful war, and, under the impulse Of
patriotic enthusiasm and military victory.
our acquisition of new territory has been
accepted as the fnger-post of destiny point
ing to policy Of imperialism for the United
States.-Gunton's Magazine.

The holiday rush is over and the business
OF the 1obbers is drifting back in the regu-
lar channels. The week between Christmas
and New Years was dull, 1t always is,
but during the past week there was a de-
cided recovery in many lines and in all the
business is equal to or better than fer the
same period year ago. Statesmen are again
on the road and are sending in many orders.
DRY GOODS
Statesmen resumed the road this week. and
are sending in a large number Of orders.
City people and the nearby trade are order-
ing wash fabrics and cotton goods in large
quantities. There seems to be a disposition
TO buy literally in all lines. Cotton contin-
ues TO advance, but it is believed that a few
more days at the outside will see steady
prices. Business has been quite little bet
Ter than year ago, and the future looks
bright, indeed

nave been no changes In either STAPLE or

DRUGS. PAINTS. OILS, ETC.

a rush. Never before have there been an

well. Everything looks bright for the drug

HATS. GLOVES AND FURs.
The fur season is practically at an end and
but few orders are coming in. but with the
let-up in this direction comes boom in the
other lines. Many orders are coming in

are generally buying literally A few orders
are received for small bills of goods for i'm

General trade is little quiet. but many
orders are being received for future delIy-

all running full time. Prices on raw and
manufactured material are steady.
HARDWARE.
Business is little quiet although not more
so than was expected, as the hardware trade
does not revive until after the middle of jan
uary. Practically the same conditions exist
as have prevailed for the past three weeks In
spite Of the quiet business, business is quits
little ahead of last year. There have beea
