The Home Effect of Our Conquest of
Foreign Markets.

There is another phase to our con-
quest of foreign markets, and that is
itSeffect upon the other nations of the
world. If much larger share of the
wfld's manufacturing is to be done
in America, it means a lesser share
viii be done elsewhere. The picture
which some enthusiastic observers of
ourforeign trade delight to draw, of a
timf when our exports have so increas-
ed md our imports so diminished that
we will not only make everything We
wait for ourselves. but a very large
part of the world wants besides, is a
pictre which offers neither a prob
able forecast nor a desirable result.
Naturally we cannot go on selling to
the world a great surplus of food prod
ucts ind manufactured articles without
buying from the world in return. Sta
tistici indicate that we have for the
last two or three years been sending
Eurole annually something like $780,
100000 more than We have been buy
ing. Europe has not been paying for
this in gold. During the six years in
which we built up a surplus foreign
trade balance of $2,744 100000, we
have ,eceived from the rest of the
world a net balance in gold of only
1892 ,00l, 000.-l January Scribners.

BRATTLEBORO MARKET REPORT.
Advance in Flour Coming in a Few
Days-"Force" Rapid Seller
Growth of the Cereal Business.

The expected falling off in trade the
week following the holidays has not
been realized. On the contrary trade
has been active and prices have re-
maincd firm 1t can be stated as rea-
sonably certain that the price of -four
will be advanced in the local market
% to 80 cents within two weeks, posi-
bly within a week. Wheat is high and
getting higher and as a result the
wholesale price of flour is gradually
creeping up. The local dealers feel
that they must advance the retail
price in order to protect themselves.
The new cereal, Force" is a crack
erjack, so far as sales are concerned.
No other cereal on the market has
created so big a demand in so short
a time. Shredded wheat has been the
leading seller heretofore. and it is still
sold in large quantities. The growth
of the cereal business is interesting.
Ten years ago there were only about
a dozen kinds. whereas there are now
over 300 kinds on the market.

BERT TAYLoR's"Boo BOOSTER"
"Perodical of Puff" is the Young Writ
er's Latest Observation-Disclosures An

nouncement
Bert Lesion Taylor, formerly en-
gagged in newspaper work in Brattle-
boro but now of Evanston, ILL.,. is
rapidly acquiring fame in the literary
world, and recognized fame at that.
Mr.. Taylor recently made a decided
hit with his opera in Chicago. which
is now being presented in New York
with equal success. His next success
full venture was as editor of satiri-
cal and breezy periodical called the
Biiorstine. which is a running mate
in pm5ency of Fra Elburtus' Phil.
istine". His latest debut is as editor
of the Book Booster Periodical of
Puff" as he announces iii the in
itial number That it has merit is at
tested by the fact that the current
number of the Literary Digest de-
votes nearly a page in favorable com
ment of the Booster" and presents
picture of the editor.
Mr.. Taylor announces that the
Booster is edited by "Mr. Criticus
Flub-Dubbs,' and published by Josh,
Gosh & Company" in Evanston, ILL.,,
and its object is to "boost books
our own and others" with the dis
tinction that the books published by
Josh Gosh & Company will be boost
ed without reference to the number of
pounds sold. while the publications of
other houses will be boosted only
when they have passed the dead line.
which is 10000 pounds
The following announcement IS
| characteristic of the editor: THE
cloth used in binding the first edition
would. if stretched end to end. reach
from Chicago to Evanston. Placed
side by side the pages would reach
from Chicago to Minneapolis. Smear
| ed thinly, the ink used would cover
four townships. Ten million cock
reaches could subsist for six months
on the binders paste employed. Set
up side by side, the individual letters
! in the text would reach from San
Francisco. to the Haawiian islands,
and the hot air employed in boosting
the book would float 10000 balloons.
