HAD FUN WITH cH1NAMEN.
Shrewd MOnGoIian Was Unable te
Ignite American Matches.

Among those who get in line at the
registry window of the general postoffice
there are always a large number Of
Cinnamon sending letters and packages to
their native land. 1t is a rule with the
Cinnamon to deliberately seal their pack
ages or letters with red sealing wax. If
this has not been done before going to the
registry window the Cli:naman will get
from the clerk his large stick of wax and
proceed to seal his letter with dabs of the
wax an over it.
Following this plan the other day, a
Chinaman found that he did not have a
match with which he could heat the wax.
Looking down the line of waiting people
he spied an apparently good-natured
man
Got hatcher" asked the Ohinaman.
Certainly. Take one, replied the ac-
commodating man as he handed out one
of those little paper packages OF safety
matches which are used for advertising
purposes.
The Chinaman fused with the package
a moment and finally succeeded in tear
ing off two of the matches.
Going back to the shelf just beyond the
registry window he endeavored to ignite
one of the matches.
He tried IL on the woodwork, then on
the sole of his sandal. He stopped down
and drew 1t across the floor: This last ef-
fort broke the match. Meanwhile the
light the matches. which will only ignite
when drawn across the preparation on the
package in which they are contained
Without suspecting anything wrong, he
went back to the man who had supplied
him with the matches and obtained two
more.
After he had made heroic efforts to
light one of them, another man i'll line
took pity on him and gave him some or
binary friction matches. He finally sealed
his package and departed.-New York

Henry Clews saws OF market conditions

Summer quiet prevails everywhere,
and until the vacation period is over and
general business resumes its accustomed
swing. there is likely to be little beyond
good trading market, in which we
should advise selling on all good rallies
and buying only on good declines. Inc
big men hold the stocks, the pubic at
the moment being to a large extent out
of the market. Bull sentiment has re
ceiyed a severe check by the injury to
corn and the steel strike. The former
element has unquestionably been consid-
erably exaggerated, and Saturdays Gov
eminent crop report will be awaited with
unusual interest. 1t is still too early TO
fix any positive estimates OF yield. and
should the weather average fairly during
the remainder of the season, the pessi-
mistic calculations made two or three
weeks ago will not be full realized. In
the district where the damage was great
est, the most reliable information is that
general business will be only moderately
diminished by the damage 10 corn Al

States of Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri.
and Iowa they are all exceptionally well
able to stand the loss sustained. There
has been big wheat crop; fodder is
plentiful, and the farmers as class are
prosperous and out of debt, owing 10 a
series of good harvests. Better prices
for corn on last years surplus and on
what there is for this years are other
compensations of some account In por-
lions of the country where no drought ap
peared good harvests have been realized.
and prosperity is unquestioned; so that
to the country as whole 1t is quite GER
tain the corn damage will have no per-
manent serious consequences, and can
only be considered an unfortunate draw
back but to an important extent onset
by other considerations.
Beyond crop and labor troubles there IL
little to say. The money market Is in
easy condition, and likely to remain so
until crop and trade requirements begin
to be felt The demand on speculative
account is limited, and liquidation has
undoubtedly helped to swell the bank
reserves There is some talk of gold ex-
ports, which however, cannot be very
heavy with the outward movement of
cotton and grain close at hand. We are
already shipping heavy quantities of
wheat to meet foreign requirements.
Gold from the Klondike has been coming
in considerable quantities, and the Afri-
can mines will soon be resuming opera

uuence. There is no reason for anxiety
concerning the future.

report very large crop of wheat. The
Northern Pacific expects the tonnage 10
be % per cent larger than yeaF ago.
while the Great Northern expects to have
65. 600 600 40 7G.O00 600 bushels. 1t is esti-
mated by railway men that Minnesota,
North Dakota and South Dakota VIII pro-
duce 100, co., 600 bushels. The crop report
warrants the belief that these estimates
will be fulfilled. 1t may be noted also that
St Paul officials talk most entnusias-
tically of the outlook for wheat tonnage
and general freight business and that the
business of the line up to the present this
year has again been record breaking. But
II is not the wheat roads OF the west
alone that make promises of prosperous
year The Atchison officials say their
business will be fully equal to that or
last year, or, in other words, largely IN
excess Of any other year despite the small
corn crop.

conditions since August !, which proves
