steel rails for the season thus far are
within $4,000 tons of last years heavy
bookings. and the confidence in an ulti-

that all raw materials are firm and
without any speculative activity to
stimulate them.
Conditions in the iron and steel mar

effort to secure concessions. In most
cases quotations are not altered but
there is an advance to $50 at Philadel-

Cotton showed a little recuperative
power after last weeks decline and

year failed to make much impression.
The loss in price is $3.50 bale since
Oct. 9. and exporters are still holding
off.
Wheat also continued its downward
course owing to good news here and
abroad. but an encouraging feature
was the accelerated foreign buying as
quotations declined. Corn is slightly
weaker. while pork products have fallen

The Maine farmers are wondering
whether they ought to feel happy. or
unhappy, over the extremely abundant
apple crop they have just finished
gathering. 1t is said to equal very
nearly the record breaking harvest of
four years ago when almost every
apple tree in the country was loaded
to the point of collapse. That year the
apple raisers did not get so much in
way of financial returns for their crop
and they fear a similar fate this sea-
son. Buyers are now in the field offer
ing 81 barrel for the best fruit, and
it is easy to see that after the farmer
has picked and stored his fruit. paid
good price for the barrels in which to
ship them. borne the expense of sort
ing and getting to the shipping point
there is not a very large margin OF
profit left to himself. However, in
spite of the extremely low prices that
prevail in seasons when the crop is
largest. it is doubtful if on the whole
there is any line of husbandry that
pays the average New England farmer
an better than his crcharding.

1t now seems improbable that Bow
doin and Bates will meet upon the
gridiron. this fall. This il much t. he
regretted since they are upon
friendly relations in all other branches
Of athletic sports. and their football
games in recent years have been the
most important If the Maine season.
An eXpla nation Of the situation will be
of interest to the general public. The
difference is over the matter of gate
receipts ana each is firmly convinced
of the justice Of its position. Two
years ago the two teams played in
Lewiston. BoWdoin claimed half III"
net receipts and Bates conceded to
the Bowdoin team only $50. The mat
ter was referred to referees, and I
compromise was the result. which.
however. favored Bowdoin. but did not
profess to decide how the receipts
should be divided in the future. In
1899 tho game was in Brunswick and
Bates by agreement took half the
gross receipts. 1t Vas agreed that
this arrangement should not estab-
lish n precedent. but the Rowdoin
management declared that it should
expect Similar ttT1llS III Lew iSl''li HI
1900 Bates now refuses TO concede TO
Bowdoin half the net receipts or half
the gross receipts of the Lewiston
game. and consequently. as above
stated. the game is probably off. Bates
point appears to be that she lives in a
larger town than Bowdon does, and
that she would be surrenderng an ad
vantage that leg1tirnately belongs to
her II she allowed Bowdoin to take
half the proceeds Of Lewiston game.
Bowdoin appears to claim. On the other
hand, that her eleven attracts the
crowd As much Al the Bates eleven.
that the two teams are equally
matched, and that wherever they play
the receipts belong TO them equally.
| Bates admits that no outside team
can draw the crowd in Lewiston that
Bowdoin can. 1t must be confessed
that the custom of the football world
is with Bowdoin. Harvard and Yale
always divide equally. though the re-
ceipts of a Boston game exceed by
many thousand dollars those of a
New Haven game. And 50 it is when
the other members of the big four
meet. Princeton and Pennsylvania al
ways split even on receipts. That is.
Pennsylvania never receives any pc
cuniary advantage from the fact that
Philadelphia furnishes a bigger crowd
than Princeton. The Bowdoin men
say that the rule of the big four" is
the general rule elsewhere. that it is
the only fair rule. and that Bates
must adopt it if the two colleges are
to meet any more on the gridiron. If
Bates is equally set" the annual game
will have to be given up.
