This Settles 1t (?)

The ''new century" question
seems difficult to settle, at least.
IN the minds OF some. / am ono Of
the oldest readers of The Times, and
have ever made it rule to take an
humble part II the discussion and
solution Of questions that interest the
public. Your correspondents, John
+. Young, H. l.. Scaife and VIM,
Jcffries have so plainly solved the
question that no further arguments
are necessary, it seems to mo, to
convince the most skeptical. l sins
ply endorse their solution.
The reply Of IN" to the above
correspondents is at fault because his
arguments are formed on "a false
premise. In his reply to Mr.. JEFF
fries he admits ''integer is whole
number and century is a hundred
years and that inseger means the
completion of a whole number" which
is all well and good, but Immediately
spoils it all by saying "when 1885

CHEROKEE HAY.
For Years an Industry of Con-
siderable Importance.

Making prairie hay in the In
dian Territory, especially in The
Cherokee nation has for years
been an industry of considerable
Importance and employing many
men and teams. Vast amounts
are put up for local use, feeding
cattle and horses and thousands OF
cars are shipped annually to Kan
sas City, st. Louis, Chicago and
intermediate points, and to many
places in the south.
All hay shipped must first be
baled and this is accomplished by
means of horse and steam balers.
An outfit of the first class converts
from grass to bales about ten tons
per day and of course steam out
fits do considerable more.
After the hay is baled it is stored
barns on the ranches or in town
or loaded in cars and shipped at
once. Usually the market is bet
ter later in the season. Hay
brings from SO to 1875 on track at
present and it costs 1890 to place
it on the market in st. Louis, so
that it must bring 81 to SS in the
Missouri metropolis. OF course it
does dot cost so much to market
hay nearer home and Little Rock,
Joplin and Springfield, are favor
ite markets netting shippers larger
profits usually than more distant
points.
Cars are of different sizes, vary.
ing from 30 TO so feet in length
and contain from z to 20 tons.
The favorite cars among shippers
are furniture or buggy which hold
from IL to 20 tons and load to bet. |
ter advantage than smaller ones.
Upon all hay shipped from the
Cherokee nation that tribe gets a
royalty of 80 cents per ton. This
ls founded upon . law passed
years ago by the Cherokee
council and is now being collected

The Frisco from Chelsea to Fair
land and the Katy from Chouteau

the principal shipping centers for
prairie hay in this nation. An
idea of the magnitude of the in
dustry and the importance of the

ing only portion of its hay from
the Cherokee country-in about

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Trade Espandng-Less Speculation Than
There Was a Year kgo-PIcn,y Of
Wheat In Sight.

Il. G.. Dun & CO. S weekly review of
trade gives out the following:
A certain hesitation in business with
shrinkagc in its volume is not unusual
nor unnatural at this season. II is not
necessarily dishcartenlng, therefore, II
business is no longer as large in vol
umc as ever, but tails behind that on
February, on January, or OF the CORE
spending week last year. Strikes IN
building trades or OF machlnists and
others at Chicago affect many indus
tries and the wages OF $4,000 hands.
Wide differences OF opinion also exist
regarding the effects OF monetary action
by Congress.
Special causes are not needed to ac-
count for some pause after year OF
unprecedented buying. That such
trade could not continue without a
pause is evident and there is now not
the excessive speculation which
threatened monetary trouble year ago.
Estimates OF wheat in farmers hands
March l, 100000, 900 bushels, according
to the American Agriculturist do not
indicate a lack OF supply this year, for
with 54,ooo,ooo bushels in visible stocks,
there is in sight nearly as much as a
year ago, when foreign demands were
extraordinary, and yet the crop year
ended with over SS,oooooo bushels in
visible supply. This year net exports
in seven months, flour included, have
been II,22I,S3s bushels, against I4o,-
0I6,4o7 last year, and in February
enough to make about I2s,ooo,ooo bush
els, against I6Sooo,ooo last year, with
no indications OF future foreign de-
mand approaching that of last year
from March to July l. Returns as
to condition OF winter wheat are also
satisfactory. But OF late prices have
been very low and have advanced this

To the evils OF alcohol are now add
ed the evils OF ether drinking. which
has spread alarmingly in Eastern Prus-
sia, where ether is sold in the saloons
like any liquor, four or five grammes
in a glass. In the town OF Memel
alone, it is stated, the amount thus sold
last year was about $3.50 quarts, and in
reality twice this amount was consum-
ed, the rest brought in by smugglers
The effect is said to be four times more
powerful than an equal amount OF al
cnhol.
