AMERICAN LOOKING GLASSES.
This Country Now Imports but Few
 Mirrors and Trade Is Increasing.

Most of the french mirrors bought in the United States today are made here. Very little looking glass is im- ported now compared to a decade ago. The tables are gradually turning The European nations do not see them selves in American mirrors. bzzt ti1e Central and South Americans are very partial to the America looking glasses. and this country is doing 2 large ax- port business to that 48aE6ae Penn sylFania and Indiana furnish most =of the glass which is turned #fEf5 sffefs5= can mirrors at present bHt plate glass factories that can turn =ea# 5 aazHHzg of glass suitable for fhs use sf mirror manufactafers are sBe5as5Hg feH rapidly in several oE the eastern states. The American glassmakers have finally succeeded iH turning gHE g superior quality of clear white glass which makes as fine mirrors as can be bought in any part Of tba world. The leading looking glass makers hare found this out and they import very little glass for their use &ot mora than one-tenth of the mirrors made in this country last year were made of imported glass whereas .fe# years ago nearly all the American mirror makers were compelled 10 go abroad for their glass In the natter Of frames, the American mirrors are now put ID quite as richly as any Of the foreign creations.

PIPES OF PEACE.
Those Made Of BIood-Red stone Nest
 Esteemed by Indians.

Nearly every Indian tribe has some interesting legend connected with the blood-rad= stone of the Pfpestone quar- ries of Minnesota. One tale is that long ago two fierce bands of WInnebagaes and Sioux. the brayest Of their resDee- tive tribes. met in conflict here They fought all day, from early morn untLt set of sun. until The chieftain of oue band was slain. Some of the warriors escaped, and some were made captiyes
 Among the eapEFes was the chieftain's s daughter. Being very brave and fair. she was chosen by one chief as his share of the spoiIs. Refusing, how ever. to become his bride, she was doomed to the stake. Iii dying she predicted that the Great Spirit would throw her blood upon the SUI 5 rays to her people far away. and that the stone under her feet would be forever tinted with her blood. GatIin, the famed ex- plorer of Indian cenntHg5 was The first white man to visit this locality. At traeted by the Indian tales he had heard in Inc summer Of IS36, iu com- paHy with a young English gentleman and his tfiIsty Indian guide he started on horseback from St. Anth0ny's Falls to explore the region. It appears that the Indian tribes have long held the place in suBefstitieHs estimation, and also that it has been the resort of dif- ferent tribes, who have made their regular pilgrimage there to renew their pipes. It is also evident that these people set an extraordinary value on the red stone, independent of the fact that 1t is more easily carved and makes better pipes than any other stone
 Whenever an Indian presents a pipe of t, he gives it as something from the Great Spirit. and some Of the tribes have tFadi ion that the red men were all created from the red stone and that 1t is thereby part of their flesh. Such was the superstition of the Sioux on this subject that we had great diff. featty In approaching #. being stopped by several hundred Of them. who or- dered Us back and threatened Us very hard saying that 10 white man had ever seen it and that none should.

changed for November, but anywhere

the old crop positions. The subsequent
course of the market was irregularly

REVIEW OF MARKETS
FINANCIAL And COMMERCIAL
Stocks, Honey, Exchange, Bonds. Grain,
Cotton, Provisions, Btc.

New York, March 10.-The trading In
STOCKS was largely confined to-day to
operations by board room operators as
has been the case during the whole
week. But there was some small but
significant buying from outside
sources, especially manifest in the TAX
ing Of fractional lots of stocks for
investment. which proved the attrac-
tiVeness of the present level of prices
10 those who are not dependent upon
ordinary money market vIcissitudes for
holding stocks for the dividend returns
which they yield. The wide distribu-
tion Of the dealings also added to the
healthy appearance OF the market. The
character of the bank statement was
SO confidently foreseen that It's appear
ance was not awaited for the closing
up of professional contracts. Tho
traders have been on the short side of
the market quite uniformly during the
week. so that the closing UP of con-
tracts stiffened the market very apprc-
ciably.
/ Peoples Gas and Sugar were notably
In demand before the bank statement,
hut were sold off again, together with
the local traction stocks. The obvious
unwillingness of prices to yield ON the
pank statement drove the bears to
cover again. Sugar advanced an ex-
IRENE 31s. and Peoples Gas Q. and the
whole list rose to the highest level of
the morning with more show Of ANNA
ton In the dealings than has been evil
dent for several days The bank return
was fully as weak as was expected.
The strength of the days market
must be attributed to faith that
speculative commitments being small
the market is not very vulnerable to
temporary money squeeze. Beyond q
temporary stringcncy, the new cur
rency and refunding law Is confidently
looked to for speedy relief. There Is an
undercurrent of sentiment also that
some of the recent heavy loan eXpan-
Sion would be readily convertible and
transferable. in case Of any urgent
need of credits, without doing damage
to present borrowers. This would be
true OF such portion of the recent loan
expansion as has gone into government
bonds with a view to taking out addi-
tional note circulation.
The railroad bonds have been In good
demand. part Of the buying being ut
trfbuted to pressure OF funds realized
from the selling OF government bonds
by Investment holders to banks. United
