PRICES OF COMMODITIES RISE
General Advance Reported by Dun's
Commercial Agency.

Commercial Agency.
II. G. Dun's weekly review of trade
says: Prices of commodities ADVANCE
almost without exception, and all the
changes in manufactured goods are in the
direction Of hrmer quotations. scarcity
Of labor gives manufacturers in the Mid
die states great concern. Activity atif6n
and steel mills steadily increases, and
there is an equally uniform advance IN
quotations. The gain has been more gem
eral this week than at any previous time
this season. Instead of the recent agita-
ton for cheaper steel rails there is now
talk Of an advance to SIS owing TO the
further rise in steel billets. Orders come
forward in the best volume since last
spring. The report of pig iron produe-
ton on Nov, / by the Iron Age shows a
weekly capacity of only 2l5,304 tons, the
smallest Since September. dS9S, but the
reduction OF $4,000 tons from Oct. ! to
furnace stocks is most encouraging.
These figures. with the activity in all
branches OF the industry, indicate that
there will be no further reduction in out
put. Wooden manufacturers are not yet
seeking raw material in great quantity
and wool is not changed in price. A tenn
porary hurry in the wheat market took
the December option above 80 cents.
Publication Of the usual weekly Stats
ties had depressing effect, however,
particularly the enormous exports from
Russia, which were contradiction of
earlier statements that the crop was
short in northern Europe. Failures for
the week were PIT in the United 5 ties,
against 219 last year, and SO in Canada,
against 20 last year"

Successful Exper msut Is Conducted
at Pow lerhorn Lake, Mimi.
An experiment in wireless tel' phonIng,
tried at Powderhorn Lake, Nina, proved
a Egarkcd success. The originator of the
idea IS j. G. Kelsey, who is in charge OF
the switchboard Mt the Northwestern Tel
ephone Exchange Compauy's building in
Minneapolis, and with him were i've 9TH
er employees of the company. The method
is simple. On either side Of the lake the
men strung a wire about 100 feet IN
length, the two being parallel. They were
above the ground and fastened with
grounding pins to insure better induc-
ton. An ordinary local telephone trans
mitter and receiver were attached to eth
er wire. When the transmitting circuit Is
cut in it induces the current into the re-
ceiying circuit and when the receiving
circuit is cut in it induces the circuit into
the transmitting circuit. In this way the
advantage Of both circuits is secured
without the use of wire and as result
the conversation can be carried on much
more easily and with better results. The
use of the system is not confined to wat
err. 1t is available ON land if good
grounding facilities can be secured. The
experimenters say that they could easily
converse "a distance of twenty miles.

VICTIMS OF a TORNADO.
At Least Twenty five Persons Are
Dead in 1ennessee.

Dead IN tennessee.
Leaving death in its waEe, tornado
swept across the central Southern States
as darkness fell upon Tennessee and Mis-
sissippi Tuesday night Wednesday the
sun rose upon a scene of pitiable desc
lation in the cities and towns lying in
the path where the angry visitor spent its
fury. At noon it was estimated that the
number of those who lost their lives
would reach twenty-five, while twice that
many were badly injured and entire COM
iuunities had the narrowest escape. But
what the mortality and the amount of
the damage to property actually are can
not be ascertained until Telegraph and
telephone wires are strung again and rail-
road communication is established anew
into the stricken districte.
Columbia and La Grange, small towns
in Tennessee, probably are the worst suf-
ferers. The principal business street of
La Grange is in ruins and several per-
sons are dead. At Columbia and many
points along the Illinois Central Rail
way line there is also loss of life and
great damage, with resultant restitution.
Columbia is at the junction of the Louis
vile and Nashville and the Nashville,
Chattanooga and st. Louis roads, and La
Grange is situated forty nine miles east
of.Een1pfts On the Southern Railway, in
Fayette COUNT.
The cyclone lasted for about FIVE min
utes and its path, which was about 1000
feet wide, is clearly marked by devasta-
ton Many houses. including a large
number of negro cabins, were blown down
and many others unroofed and otherwise
damaged The fencing surrounding the
United States arsenal was blown away,
but the building remains intact. A freight
train on the Nashville Florence and Shelf
field Railway was lifted from the track.
