KEYNOTE OF THE TRADE.

Great Factors.

The Improved Crop Conditions are ths
Great Factors.
Bradstreet's says: improved crop
conditions furnish the keynote of the
trade and price movement. AS re-
suit of them nearly all staple agricul-
tural products a1e lower in price. and
at the same time perceptible livening
up of demand for fall delivery is noted
in the West, Northwest and South.
The beginning of fall trade is conse-
quently more clearly visible in the Sec
tions mentioned. while at the East
the markets are slow to experience this
improvement and are consequently rea-
sonably dull. Bank clearings as yet
fail to reflect any perceptible improve
ment in distribution, and railway earn
ings, though of large volume, are, ow-
ing to comparisons being made with
exceptionally good results last year,
showing less notable increases both in
gross and net returns.
Hog products have gone lower with
corn, as has also wheat. in which con-
tinued liquidation has been noted, with

Iron and steel prices are evidently
scraping the bottom, if reports from
leading centers of cost of raw material
and wages are correct. Soft coal is
going abroad too, a cargo leaving for
London shortly.
Tin is cornered locally and higher

An encouraging feature of the wool
market is the rather better inquiry fo1
raw wool at Boston, but manufacturing
will not apparently do much until the
light weight season opens.

A GREAT INDUSTRY.
ENORMOUS BUSINESS DAIRYING
HAS COME TO BE.
Seventeen Million Cows Giving Milk
in the United States-Aggregate VAL
ne of Their Produce Exceeds $780,
100000 a Year-This Country Leads.

Comparatively few persons realize
what an enormous business dairying
has come to be in the United States. In
this industry, as in so many others, this
country beats the world. There are
over seventeen million cows giving milk
in the United States, and it takes an
army of over three hundred thousand
men working from ten to twelve hours
a day to milk them. The aggregate
value of the produce of these dairy
cows exceeds $5OO,OOO,OO0 year. They
produce nearly a billion and half
pounds of butter, three hundred thou
sand pounds of cheese and over two
billion gallons of milk yearly, for the
Yankee COW is good COW, an industri-
Gus COW, and works all the year round.
Dairying in other countries sinks into
msignificance when compared with the
industry in the United States. So fond
are the Americans of dairy products
that it takes from twenty-three to
twenty-seven cows to each hundred CT
the population to keep the country sup
piled with milk, butter and cheese and
provide for the export trade. The ex-
port trade does not amount to much.
1t has fluctuated much, but never rose
Beyond the produce of five hundred
thousand cows. Nearly all the great
output of the dairieS is consumed at
home. We are the greatest butter-eat-
ing people in the world, our average
yearly consumption being at the rate
of twenty pounds to the person, or
about one hundred pounds annually for
a family of average size. As cheese
eaters, however. we do not shine. The
average consumption of cheese in this
country does not exceed three and
half pounds per capita year, which
is far below the European average. AS
milk drinkers we average twenty gal
Ions apiece yearly. Although we are
not great cheese eaters ourselves we
send about fifty million pounds year
to the peoples of the earth, who are
fond of that form of food.
In Early Days.
All this great dairy industry of the
United States has been built up in the
last fifty years. Before that time the
milch cows Of the country were of the
mixed and indescribable race known as
native" 1t was the ''old red COW" Of
our boyhood, specimens of which oeca-
sionally are seen in out-of-the-way
parts of the country living in the "old
red barn." The keeping of cows on an
American farm was incidental to the
general work. In the fall and early
winter the COW was allowed to go dry.
Winter dairying was practically un-
known. The care Of the milk and the

lars or on kitchen shelves than in rooms
specially constructed or adapted to the
purpose. In Southern Pennsylvania
and the States further south spring
houses We're in vogue. Milk received
care, and setting it in earthen crooks
or pots, standing in cool. flowing water,
was a usual and excellent practice.
Churning the entire milk was common.
This is still done to some extent in the
Southern States, where butter is made
every morning, and where all the milk
is buttermilk. In seasons of scarcity of
milk there was no butter. In the North
ern States there were some instances
where families were supplied with but
ter weekly during most of the year, and
with an occasional cheese, directly from
the producers. But the. general farm
practice was to pack" the butter in
frkins, half firkins. tuns and Jars and

making of the butter and cheese were
in the hands of the women of the
household, and the methods and the
utensils used were crude. The average
quality of the products was inferior,
and the supply Of the domestic markets
was unorganized and irregular.
In the Eastern and Middle States the
milk was usually set in small. shallow
earthen vessels or tin pans for the
cream to rise. Little attention was paid
to cooling the air in which it stood In
summer or to moderating it in winter
SO long as freezing was prevented. The
few who scalded milk had no idea of
the true reason for so doing or why
beneficial effects resulted. The pans of
milk oftener stood in pantries and eel

A MOUNTAIN OF QUARTZ.
Remarkable Formation in the Blue
River District.

Remarkable Formation in the Blue
River District.
le Blue river, Oregon, district is
rapidly forging to the front, and is
now enjoying an era of activity but
little dreamed of a year or two ago.
Extensive development work is being
done, aand lmost without exception
claims are proving valuable. The sta
bil1ty of the district has been conclu-
sively proved, and as result prospec-
tors have fiocked in here this spring by
the hundreds. Mining capital has
been attracted, and one mill is in sue
cessful operation and several more are
in course of construction. New discov-
cries are being made in almost every
direction; most notable among which
are the discoveries on the Calapooia
and Mckenzie rivers, which show ex-
tremely rich ore, and the immense
mountain of quartz four miles up Blue
river. This mountain of quartz is a
remarkable formation, and is probably
unparalleled in mining discoveries.
The mountain is 1,270 feet high, and
appears to be nearly all quartz. At

crop out in all directions. The ore as
saws from So. so to $12 per ton.
The Lucky Boy mine has been COM
PEELED to shut down five stamps, owing
to shortage of WATER. since the dry
season set in. The remaining five
stamps are kept going day and night.
The company has the machinery for
sawmill on the ground, and, as soon as
it can be set up, lumber will be sawed
and fume constructed which will
furnish plenty of water for operating
all of the stamps. .t
Jones & Co. have the foundation laid
for sawmill at the Blue river bridge,
and already have a number of logs
ready to saw. The machinery for the
mill is expected to arrive in short
time. The mill will be situated at the
new Blue River city townsite, and is
intended to supply the local market.
1t will be operated by steam power,
and will have capacity OF 10000 feet
per day.

M.nv Theaters in italy.

The population Of Italy is 100000
less than the population of France, but
Italy has more theaters than France
and twice as many as England, though
the population Of the United. Kingdom
is fully 100000 larger than that of
Italy. There are approximately LOCO
places of amusement in the United
States. In Italy there are AS, in France
437, in Germany 800, in Great Britain
352, and in Spain 21O. One explanation
of the large number of theaters in Italy
is to be found in the fact that the culti-
walton and appreciation of music are
perhaps more general in Italy than In
any other country, and many of the
playhouses, therefore, are devoted not
to theatrical, but to musical, entertain
ments.
