THE w. c. T. u.
National Convention Adopts Strong
Protest Against Sunday Open
ing in New York.

Fort Worth, Tex, Nov. 21.-
Wednesday witnessed the closing ses-
sion of the twenty-eighth national
convention of the w. C. T. u. 1t has
been memorable for the largest at
tendance ever accorded a national
convention, for the largest amount
of money raised and pledged to pur-
poses of the union and for the great
est enthusiasm shown in the cause
of temperance.
The session ended with the adop-
tion of a sensational deliverance on
the attitude of the victory of the re-
form forces in New York city in re-
spect to the partial open saloon on
Sunday.
The resolutions adopted voices a
strong protest against Sunday open
ing, or any attempt to give the liquor
traffic longer hours or greater privi-
leges. 1t earnestly urges the law
abiding and moral citizens of New
York state to stand for strict enforce
ment of the Sunday closing law and
the abolition of the Raines law hotel.
An official statement was made that
the total membership of the w. c. T.
U. is about 100000; paid membership
is 100000; number of delegates at this
convention, 293; largest local union
is in Portland, Me-. with 265 members.

Masonic Fair.

Masonic fairs have been held in sew
eIal cities, such as Detroit, Washing
ton and San Francisco, where, because
of the strength and influence of the
Masonic bodies, they became social
events. The Masons of Minneapolis
expect no less from their fair, to be
held Dec. 2 to inclusive. 1t is given
for the purpose of adding to the fund
which is to purchase the outstanding
stock of the Masonic Temple. This
building was erected by a building as
ISOLATION, composed largely of mem
bers of the order. AS the lodges grew
in strength they acquired blocks of
stock, and they have now united in a
common effort to raise large enough
fund to become the exclusive owners
of the building.
People who go to fairs are always hot
after prizes, and the Masons have ar
ranged for enough of them to satisfy
the hungriest. There will be three
prizes every night, and a grand prize
on Saturday night which will go to
some person who has purchased tickets
and attended the fair every evening.
Besides, the fair committee is going to
give away to ticket holder $500
piano and farm.

A REVIEW OF TRADE.
Il. q. Dun Says We Have Great Cause
for National Thanksgiving
This Year.

New York, Nov. Pr. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade says: "Never be-
lore IN the history of the United states
was such great reason for DAY OF ma
tlonal Thanksgiving. This country has
made unprecedented strides toward po-
sltlon of international supremacy, not only
IN commerce, but also in finance. 10
marked degree business enterprises have
proved successful. An idle wheel in
mills or factories is the exception, while
laoor is so well employed at high wages
that consumptive demands sustain market
values of all staple commodities. Trans
porting facilities have been unable to
keep pace with the nations requirements,
many complaining of tardy deliveries,
winch alone act as brake on CONNER
clal progress. By closing lake navigation,
lower temperature will relieve the rail-
way situation, thousands of cars being
restored to inland traffic. This same fac
tor OF seasonable weather stimulates retail
oeaiings, and prompt collections swell
bank exchanges
careful search discloses few unfavor-
aDle factors in the iron and steel Situa-
tlon. Probably the least satisfactory con-
oltlons are found at plate mills, which re-
port an uneven distribution of orders. A
lew large concerns appear to secure the
oulk of new business, but heavy orders for
cars Will largely expand the buying, while
the new combination will put this class Of
mills on a stronger basis. In rails there is
no apparent limit to the orders placed,
though some mills are unable to guaran-
tee delivery within year. One Pittsburg
report places the years output of struc-
tural material at 100000 tons. After six
months of more or less interruption all ma
chlne shops and kindred plants at San
FRANCISCO have fully resumed, and it is
certain that the greatest force on record
is now engaged in the various departments
or iron and steel making.
Strength is the rule in the markets for
farm products. Favorable weather dur
ing the closing days of corn harvesting
failed to bring any reaction from the high
est price level in many years, and the
market was equally oblivious to Atlantic
exports for the week of only 450, 424 bushels,
as against 3,S3S666 a year ago. After some
weeks of gradual decline toward a normal
position, pork products suddenly bounded
upwards regardless of weakness in live
hogs. Wheat holds at about three cents
above last years price, despite the marked
difference in size of crops.
Failures for the week numbered 21S in
the United States, against 23S last year
and IL in Canada, against go
