continues fin excess of previous years and 1t is probable that all the postponed trade will be made up, now that low tempera- ture has become general. While the warmest November on record at the east affected sales of clothing 1t helped to re- store the fuel equilibrium.
 The course of commodity prices Is shown by Dun's Index Number, which was $100. 449 on December l. against $9975 on November 1 and $1O1.S7S on December 1, 1901. Higher prices for dairy and garden products account for the rise dur ing November, but 1t is particularly grati- flying to the consumer that the present level Is nearly 1 per cent lower than at the corresponding date last year. This change Is also in food stuffs, where the cost of living was abnormally expanded by short crops in 1901. Cotton mills have light stocks and the demand, although quiet, is sufficient to prevent accumula- tion of goods in first hands.
 Export trade in heavy brown cottons Is unsatisfactory. Recorder demand for light weight woolens are limited and there is much conservatism in placing spring business because of the slowness with which reasonable goods are moving. Ow- ing to heavy initial orders, however mills are busy. A further advance in raw wool gives a better value to the fin- ished product, but selling prices are with out change New orders for spring shoes are still coming forward.
 Irregularity is reported in the Iron and steel markets, most departments having much business, while few are seeking l new orders and seem disposed to make slight concessions.
 Stability Is most conspicuous in those divisions where it has been possible to prevent imitation, while In cases of ex- treme pressure and high premiums for early delivery, the imports that have been attracted hither have a demoralizing influence In view of the scarcity of coke 1t Is not easy for domestic pro- ducers to meet this foreign competition and when any material reduction is made it may be found that foreign concerns will also cut prices. Thus far, however, only a slight tendency Is noted in the direction of cheaper iron, and in such products as steel rails and structural material the consumer cannot hope for early concessions. There is no prospect of dullness in the near future. The only disturbing feature in this industry con tinues to be the inadequate supply of fuel and even the most sanguine do not anticipate a return of normal conditions before spring.
 Farm products are remarkably well sustained considering the liberal quantl- ties moving to market. Statistics of failures during November disclose no weakness in the industrial structure On the contrary there is every evidence of strength

NOTED COMPOSER DIES.
pr. Henry s. Cutler, Who Originated
 Vested Male choirs, Is No More.

Boston. December 5-Dr. Henry S. Cutler, composer and musical conductor, credited with introducing vested male choirs in this country, died here today. Dr. Cutler formerly was organist and choirmaster of Trinity church in New York City.
 When the Prince of Wales, now King Edward VII, visited this country in 1860, pr. Cutler conceived the idea of having a vested choir in Trinity similar to those in the English churches, because the Prince of Wales had decided to attend the service there The idea was at once taken up in this country and became general. Dr. Cutters setting to the hymn, "The Son of God Goes Forth to War" is the best known of his compo- sidons.

WHAT BRYAN SUGGESTS.


Lincoln, Neb., Oct. I'm q state
ment made yesterday evening W. J.
Bryan says President Roosevelt
should be commended for his efforts
to settle the miners strike. He sug'
gests, however, that since the oper.
ators decline to arhtrate the presI
dents hands are tied and urges HIN
to call an extra session Of congress-
Five measures, Mr.. Bryan sayN
should be recommended for passage
Summarized, these are, in Mr.. Bryan's
language: "A law establishing na-
tional board Of arbitration, consist
ing Of three to five members, to con-
slider and report on all controversies
between corporations engaged In IN
terstate commerce and their
employees; law abolishing govern
ment by injunction; law that will
discriminate between the natural
made man created by the Almighty
and the corporation giant created By
legislation; o law taking the tarih
off coal; a law which will prevent
railroads engaged in interstate COM
merce from operating coal mines, ex-
cept for the purpose Of supplying
fuel for their own engines"

Queens Wealth.

Her majesty Queen Victoria will be
the first sovereign Of England who
ever had any money to leave to her
family. All Of her predecessors on the
throne bequeathed a choice assort-
ment Of debts to their posterity, which
parliament was called upon to make
the people pay. But while our queen
permitted us to be taxed for the set
tlement Of the private obligations Of
George Nv, and william w., she her.
self paid all the debts of her father
the duke Of Kent.
There Is food for much speculation
o. to the disposition Of her majestys
immense property. The bulk Of 1t
will, Of course, go to the Prince Of
Wales, and It has been asserted that
the best estates are entailed upon the
queens successors with the condition
that they shall not be mortgaged or
,lienated In any way. The palace Of
Osborne will probably be given to the
queens favorite daughter, Princess
Beatrice, who Is also expected to In
| hsrlt the fortunes Of the Empress Eu-
genie.

only the regular passenger trains,
which carry mail, have gone out, and
all have been delayed. An effort, IT

ALL IN ONE PACKAGE.
Not Necessary for County Clerks to
Send Out Ballots Separately.

There has been considerable discus
sion as to how the county clerks
should send out the official ballots to
to the election officers this year.
There will be three ballots-county,
township and amendment-aud the
question was whether they could be
sent together in one package or
whether each class Of ballots would
have to be put up In a separate envel'
ope. Under the old law the county
clerks sealed up the ballots in pack
ages OF fifty and sent them to the
election officers in that shape. Sat-
urday Assistant Attorney General
James Clayton held that the county
clerks should place in every envelope
a set Of fifty Of each Of the three kinds
OF ballots and send them out in that
manner, after marking on the outside
OF the envelope the number OF kind
OF the ballots contained.

and the two owners went to Fort
Riley Monday noon to see about it,
There they found that the horses had
been sent home the day before. They
came home and searched for them,
finding the horses at 6 p m. standing
in ten inches of mud at the stock
yards where they had been for II

kicked In its absence from home but
is probably not seriously hurt

ark and not to be very well up on the

he appears ready to swap parties any
