Letter to John Trudgen,
ReunOldsriNe. Pa.


Dear Sir: Your business is, when a
house burns down to give the owner some
money to build new one. 1t is good
business, queer that the world got on so
long without it.
We paint the one that burned down
and the new one too. What is better,
we paint the ones that don't burn down.
You insure the houses that burn; we
insure the houses that don't. You have
the ashes and smoke: all the houses are
ours.
We paint lead and zinc: Devoe. We
sell the paint to painters; we don't
paint.
Lead and oil is the old-fashion paint.
Devoe is zinc ground in with the
lead and linseed oil-same proportions
rs used by U. ). Government; the best
paint in the world: and the cheapest,
because the work is all done by ma
chinery.
Nobody wants poor paint: there's lots
of it, though, in the world
Yours truly,
10 +. w. DEvoE & Co.

NEW HAVEN MORNING

ance and first sales were the lowest Of the day We ourselves thought that the large interests were desirous of seeing a lower range of values; evidently, how
 ever, they found that yesterdays liqul- hation had brought out what weakly i margined accounts there were and that
 the short interest was larger than ng- llred. There was also more desire on the part of outside operators to trace and before expiration of the first hour
 the temper of the street had turned to
 moderately bullish one. The south l western and southern properties Whlch from time to time we have favorably mentioned were the faVorites and snow
 ed the largest enhancement in values Changers were not so active ana the
 coalers were neglected; the latter we are told, will eventually make good showing for themselves. Their busl-
 ness to-day is so large that they nave an insufficiency of cars to move thelr coal from mines. Traction stocks did not show much animation or attrac- tion.
 The known movement of money to this center shows cash gain to the banks of about $4 1000, 900 for the week.
 Foreign exchange remains firm at 4S3A and 4S72sa1a for actual. Money was per cent. on call. The London market on the curb closed strong at best prices
 of the day.
 Wheat shows an advance of 1A cents for the day. Chicago advices continue
 bullish and the sentiment again seems to have turned for the better, Corn IS quiet, but steady. The crop movement is in keeping with our corporations and confirms our belief in higher prices. After a short period of realizing,
 which was accompanied with slight re- sessions, the stock market towards the close became quite strong and final prices were the highest of the day in
 many instances. Total sales were esq., 300 shares.

was more anxious to sell just what he made He denied that Germans suc- ceed by giving long credit. He said their terms, speaking generally, were cash on delivery of shipping papers, Turning to the question of reasons for our present position, MT. Cassler ad- ded one or two more to the ott-told tale of economic heresies on the part ot the men, and short-sighted Toryism on the part of the masters. \
 ''The English manufactures is apt to take too much profit out of his business, with the view of an early retirement The consequence is that he does not keep his shop up-todate out of revenue, and in course of time is faced by the necessity of finding a large sum or capi- tai to rejuvenate it.
 Whether he is making the same profits that he used to make l cannot say, but there certainly have been times when he Could have used a much larger share of them than he did for renewal of machinery and extension of buslness
 Another drawback to British deVel- opment is the action of the authorltles in restricting public enterprise. why are there not more electric railways! Simply because of the difficulty of ob- taining powers to build them. In America there were no such dithcultles and electric railways were laid down everywhere. They led to the making of electric machinery of all types.
 "If it had been easier to obtain pow CTS in England more electric railways would have been built here, and the British manufacturer would have ad- vanced coincdently, developing his trade in other directions, just as his American rival has done Industry leads to industry, and trade to trade
 Finally MT. Cassier spoke of the great trusts or industrial combinations which are so numerous in the United States, and said that we can only com bat trusts with trusts.
 "If England is to hold her own in the race she will have to go in for powerful amalgamations."

CREASED TROUSERS.

w. s. Hunt, an admirer of the Argo-
 naut in London, sends us an article clipped from the London Daily Mail in
 which a pseudonymous writer. who
 signs himself Jacques" discusses the strange vogue of creased trousers,
 which is properly supposed in the Brit ish metropolis to be one of the many products of American ingenuity. "To
 think,' the writer says, "that the yer tical crease, which is now the stamp of fashion, was once the stigma of shab
 bness! Some years ago no respectable
 man would have dreamed of wearing trousers with that crease in them, be-
 cause it was then the hall-mark of the ready-made pair of trousers, Ready
 made pairs of trousers used to get that
 crease into them simply by being put
 upon the shelf, and the weight of the trousers on the top pressed the under
 meath ones. At present, men are divi-
 ded into two classes, the class with trousers that have the immaculate crease, and the class whose trousers grow baggy at the knees. The man who has the noble aspiration to keep
 his trousers in proper shape must begin
 by having at least seven pairs. He
 should make up his mind that he will keep a different pair of trousers for each day of the week. Why not found n benevolent organization, to be called
 "The League of the Seven Pairs, and
 guarantee ao any aspiring man this quantity of trousers for small weekly subscription? But there Is one perfec- tion it seems, to which no century can attain. Idealists cling to the belief that trousers van be made precisely as they appear in the fashion-plates However, there never have been such trousers,
 never willbe, and If 1t were possible to make them they wouldn't look well.
 You must remember that if you had
 pair of fashion-plate trousers on you
 wouldn't be able to move limb with out spelling the general effect. You | woudl have to occupy yourself by standing rigidly still all day Are there not devotees of beauty to whom rigid
 stiffness is natural pose? With It.

THE WOMAN AND HER NIECEs.

THE WOMAN AND HER NlECES.
 There was once a woman who had two nieces One day she called them both to her and spoke as follows:
 If you will remove those birds from your hats" she said, T will give each of you a beautiful live bird in neat cage. They will carol and twitter all day and you will not have the debas- ing consciousness of having destroyed the life of a living creature. Moreover, by trimming your hats With ribbon loops you will present far more at tractive appearance. If anything dis gusts man it is the cruelty of woman in this regard
 q shall be glad to do as you suggest" |" said one niece.
 And I shall do no such thing" said the other ITO begin with, had just as soon adorn a hat as cage, if l were a bird. And what is more to the pur- pose, the hat Is very becoming to me as it is.'
 ''Then I will give your sister both the birds,'' said her aunt. Later on a young man begged the aunt to introduce him to her niece, (Which one?" said she.
 "The one with the yellow wing in her hat" replied the young man. Il did not notice any other.
 My other niece has far better dis position," said the woman, and a much kinder heart. She would not keeps hers in a cage, and is devotedly take the life of harmless birds, but attached to them. Would you not pre- fer to meet her"
 q think not" replied the young man. ..J especially admired the one with the yellow wing. And personally I do not care for birds as pets. l think they are noisy and messy.
 This teaches us that bird in the hat is worth two in the cage.-Josephine Daskam in the Century.

were dull and narrow on the Board Of
Trade to-day, and December corn clos
ed asc lower, December wheat &c de-
pressed, and December o. is a sh de
down. Provisions closed from sc to
12hc up.
Pit conditions prevailed in a lower
corn market, which had little recupeIa-
tive power. Statistics were bearish,
and lacking a decided leadership the
crowd favored the selling side. De
cember opened 1sc to Ac lower at o6%c
to $3.50 on lower cables and on good
weather for maturing crops. The out
side demand was slow and nearly all
the buying was for the short interest.
December worked off to 56asc, but re-
covered most of the loss until report
came out indicating one point higher
in last months crop condition. This
depressed the market again and de-
clined weak, ssc down at 561ac. Re-
ceipts were 210 cars.
Wheat ruled easier with nothing Of
interest in speculative way. The few
orders placed were not enough to in
fluence the market one way or another.
December opened 1sc to ne down at
685sc to 68kc on lower cables, heavy
receipts and fine harvesting weather.
Most of the traders deserted wheat for
the corn pit and as q. result wheat fol-
lowed the coarser cereals somewhat.
