j. Haven, Secretary of the American
Bible society. has Just returned from
Constantinople. Having visited many OF
the mission stations i'm Turkey. he brings
direct news OF their Feeling regarding
the abduction of Miss Stone.
II found the American missionary
workers much perturbed over the situa-
ton" he said, though they were hope
ful that the affair would terminate in
the release OF Miss Stone and her conf
panion. All the missionaries ] met were
anxious that everything possible should
be done To secure the release of the cap
tives but many of them were concerned
about the payment OF the ransom to the
brigands They felt that its payment
would put all the missionaries in jeopardy
of abduction.

her companion was inspired by the Mace

PROSPEROUS
DESCRIBES THE BUSINESS AND
AGRICULTURAL CONDITIONS
THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY

DEoCRlBEGS lF1E BUSINESS AND
AGRICULTURAL CONDITIONS
THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY.
New York, March 26.-Henry Clews
weekly review of finance and trade
says:
The trade situation is generally sat
isfactory. Here and there signs of re-
action from last years activity, such
as in the textile industries, can be
noted, but this is by no means general.
On the contrary, there are reasons for
believing that the expansion in bus
mess will continue for some time to
come. The phenomenal activity in
the iron trade shows no suggestion of
abating; the demand for steel and iron
products being very largely the result
of the great variety of new uses to
which steel is being applied and to the
great demand for structural materials.
Along the Pacific coast there is won
derful development in progress; not
ouly III Oll UuI Ill OLu0T udCuIal re-
sources in which that region abounds.
This development of our natural riches
will be the basis of business expansion
for some time to come, to say nothing
| of foreign fields which are rapidly
opening to American capital and en-
| terprise.
From now on the crop situation will
become more important factor
Winter wheat is reported in good con-
dition and farmers are holding much
smaller stocks of wheat than usual
The stocks of corn in farmers hands
are also smaller than at any Other
time during the last six years. In the
United States the growers of wheat
corn, cotton and many other agricul-
tural products are better Off than fol
many years, and this affords a basis
for continued prosperity that should
not be overlooked.
