their household goods.
The John Stein building adjoln-

E. Carlquist, the jeweler, also sus-

a loss of 500 with no insurance.
BY the heroic efforts of the Steph-

these two buildings, and prevent a

BIG FIRE AT STEPHEN.

Building in Ashes, Besides
Other Losses.

J. P. Lundin's big general mer-
chandise store at Stephen was de-
stroyed by fire at four o'clock last
night, and was a total loss both as
to building and contents, The fire
started on the lower floor and is
supposed to have been caused by
the explosion Of coal stove. When
discovered the flames were burst
ing forth from the whole front of the
building. Mr.. Lundin's family oc-
cupied the second story and they
had barely time to escape in their
night clothes. Mr.. Lundin himself
was absent in ST. Paul. The build
ing was valued at $4,000 and insured
for $500. The stock of general
merchandise was worth $12, 900 with
only $4,000 insurance.

Commencing with this issue we
have decided to reduce the price
of the Sheaf to $500 per year
strictly in advance. If not . . paid
in advance the price will be $l.25
per year. Though the Sheaf is
we'll worth $3.50 per year, when
the amount of work expended
upon its publication in comparison
with other county'spapers, is taken
into consideration, yet as other
publishers have reduced their
price, the Sheaf is obliged to@. do
the same. We now offer the pa
perfor the coming year at $l.00 in
advance. But all arrearages must
be settled at the former price,
$3.50 a year. Now is the to renew

TRADE WITH CHINA.
More Figures Which Show Growth
in Popularity of American Goods.
Cotton Goods and Flour Are the Items
of Importation from United
States Which Show the
Greatest Cain.

The growth Of American trade with
China and the increasing popularity Of
American goods in that country are
shown by two official statements
which have just reached the treasury
bureau of statistics. One of these is
the report of the foreign commerce Of
China in the year 1901, by customs dis
tricts, which contains the detailed re
ports of the customs officials Of each
district, as well as summa rization of
the total commerce of the year; while
the other consists of some extracts
from the report of the British com
mercial attache in China, Mr.. j. W.
Jameson. The general report on the
commerce of China for the year 1901
shows that the imports from the Unit
ed States have grown from 1908, 1872
haikwan taels in 1895 to 20, 1926, COG in
1901; while those from Great Britain
grew from 80, 100000 taels in 1895 to
41,223, 53S taels in 1901, those from Rus
STA from 1.791 ,65S taels in 1895 to 3 O15,-
756 in 1901, and those from the CONT
nent of Europe, Russia excepted, from
1852 ,099 taels in 1895 to 17,046, 453 in
1901, showing much more rapid gain,
Proportionately in imports from the
United States than from the United
Kingdom or other countries of Europe.

and in cotton goods especially the in
creasing popularity Of the American
product seems to be causing some anx-
iety on the part of European manu-
facturers and representatives of Euro
pean manufacturing countries. Com
mercial Attache Jameson, comment
ing upon this fact, says that cotton
manufacturers are finding it increas-
ingly difficult to compete with the
United States, particularly in the
coarser grades of cottons." The
American manufacturer, he says, en-
joys advantages in the way of geo.

improved machinery. In gray goods
the competition is especially strong,
while in other lines American goods
are at least holding their own. In cot
ton yarns the United States has, up to
this time, made no effort to supply the
demand, Great Britain, Japan and
India being the chief competitors for
that class of merchandise, nearly all
of the cotton yarn exported from India
being sent to the markets of China,
The value of cotton yarns imported in
to China in 1901 as 48.000.OOO haikwan
taels, or about $50, 100000.
