New York, Jan. 21.-There was a mod
crate demand for heavy brown cottons
from the home trade and more inquiry
from exporters. Actual business was
quiet at firm prices. Bleached cottons
were quiet and steady Coarse colored
goods were firm.
Print cloth yarn fabrics were difficult

ginghams were firm.

New York Jan. 21.-The cotton market
opened steady in tone with prices un-
changed to points lower and through
out the day was dull with meagre changes
in values. The policy of the whole trade
seemed to be to "avod new commitments
and take profits wherever possible. =

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Jan. 21.-Today's stock
market had the appearance of Indigestion
and somnolence, which has pervaded it
of late. The movement of prices was ex-
cecdingly sluggish and narrow and the
volume of dealings fell away further.
The net changes are small and mixed.
To understand the character of the
market comparison with previous condi-
lions will be helpful. This time last year
was period of constantly developing
projects for combinations and centrali-

witnessed. There was progressive adj

Bulletin No. 81 from the Maine Agri-
cultural Experiment Station contains
tine analyses OF samples of cereal
breakfast foods found in the Maine
markets. together with a discussion of
their nutrtive value and cost" 1t is a
most interesting document, for every
body-that is almost everybody-uses
one OF the many preparations of oats,
corn or wheat at the morning meal. 1t
is pleasing to learn that there is moth
ing deleterlous i'll any of these foods,
although in nutritive value they do not
always come up to what is claimed for
them. The consumers will be interest
ed also III the prices quoted in com
parison with the respective values of
these preparations. For example. it is
said of a certain brand of corn prepare
ton that ''1O cents will buy more than
double the nutrients to be found
at the same price i'll any other of
these corn products For the most
part, says the bulletin, the pack
ages containing the oat preparations
are free from misleading statements.
OF II. O. Dat Meal which carries a
guarantee that the quality of the prod
uct contained iii the package is slpe-
rlor to that of any other, it is said: 1t
has the composition of an average oat
meal and III flavor and appearance is
similar to others, " while Its cost per
pound is - per cent above the average"
The cost table on page l3> of the bulle-
TIN shows an interesting variation in
the price Of these goods Zone article
purchased in bulk cost but 81 cents
per pound, while the average cost is
about 6.1 cents. An imported brand,
put up in tin boxes, sells for 1913 cent
per pound, or nearly double the average
price. This sample contained over one
per cent less protein than the aver
age oat preparation, but yielded an ex-
cessive amount of fat OF the wheat

been to use stronger wheats than for
merly in these preparations. More is
claimed for the wheat products than
for those Of corn or oats: but the bulle
tin pronounces these claims for the
most part unfounded, and in one in
stance says "the claim is false and
should be criminal" This statement
from the bulletin is specially interest
ing to publishers of newspapers and
periodicals. ''The fact that these goods,
in spite of their high cost, seem to
meet with a ready sale demonstrates
the business value of judicious adver-
Using and proves that the public is will

of 1902, dawned clear and beautiful
after the pouring rain of the preceding
day and evening. At 1.3O p. 10. the
class was escorted from the Billow
House to Temple Park by the band, the
{. l.. 5. c. officials, the graduates of
former years and the flower children.
The graduates of the 1902 class bear the
name of "Altrurans' which suggests
their class motto, Not for Self, but for
All' The class flower was the golden
glow; class color olive. Then came
the beautiful Recognition Day ex-
ercises, consisting Of responsive read
ing. singing of c. l.. S. c. songs, etc,
which precede the passage of the class
through the Golden Gate" and their

Among the graduates was a gentle
man past four-score years of age, an ex-
president of Bates College, who with
his companion received their c. l.. S. c,
diplomas on this occasion and proved
the truth of our Chautauqua maxim,
"Education ends only with life" The
Recognition Day address was by DR.. l..
L. Brown of Indiana. The subject
was "a Batch Of Biscuits" 1t was
both witty and eloquent. After the
address the graduates received their
diplomas from DR.. Brown, who address
sed each in a few well-chosen words
This was followed by banquet in the
Porter Memorial Hall. The post-pran-
dial exercises were of a very interesting
character and consisted of speeches,
toasts and music. The evening was de-
voted to grand Recognition Day con
cert. \ full corps of artists including

Herring at Jonesport.

An abundance of herring and plenty
of employment, and over hours at that,
is what Jonesport is favored with these
times. Although the closing of the
syndicates' factory has reduced the cir
culating medium below the flush times
of last season the weekly pay day at
the Underwood and Mansfield factories,
amounting to hundreds of dollars,
makes trade lively for the merchants
and marketmen. IN the meantime the
factory hands and fishermen are having
a good living and are saving up dollar
to meet the coming winter wants
There is some time ahead yet before the
industry will be suspended for the year,
and should the present supply of fish
continue, .Jonesport, as the saying is,
will have no occasion to ''kick. The

An Example For Other Towns.

Twenty-Five years ago Newport was
spoken of as "a sleepy town." but grad
ually through the persistent efforts of
live men changes began to appear, new
industries sprang up, a feeling of conf
or twelve years this town has forged
ahead rapidly in all that tells Of material
prosperity. Today it is one of the live
Hest towns in Maine ana the promise
for it's future is great. The last and
most important step has been the Or
ganiZation of a live Board of Trade.
There's wide distinction in these Or
CARNATIONS. Some are alive, others so
near dead that they only revive when
the State Board meets or the annual
banquet is held, but the board at New
port was born ready for work, with a
president who can talk and has I'M
bounded faith in his town, Mr.. r. II.
Libbey, and a large number of associates
as active as he. Hardly had the organ
ization been completed when a we'll
formed scheme was started to adver-
tise the town and its magnificent lake,
located in its center, four and half
miles long and with twenty miles of
shore as beautiful as on any lake in
Maine. Its outlet is within five min
ute's walk of the station and steamers
OF good size are running in every dlrec-
ton. No better fishing can be found
anywhere, and with beautiful drives
over fine roads the attractions of New
port need only to be known to call thou
sands of health and pleasure seekers
within its limits yearly This is to be
done in a most thorough manner by the
publication of a fully illustrated vol
ume setting forth the beauty OF the
town and presenting substantial cyl
dence of its superior advantages. The
same work by hundreds of towns would
multiply the tourists and cottages all
over Maine rapidly and it is this which
, tells. Too many are waiting in droWsy
comfort for some stranger to come III,
wake up the town and boom its attrac-
tons. 1t is the efforts of home folks
which tell most, for it speaks of faith
as we'll as enterprise Whoever visits
Newport will find a live town and one
that is sure to forge ahead rapidly dur
ing the next decade Maine Farmer.
What Newport has done other towns
may, and should do Belfast's board
OF trade is unfortunately in the second
class mentioned by the Farmer, but it
accomplished nothing when it was alive,
and now the Belfast Improvement So
ciety, an association of ladies, has taken
up the work i'll good earnest and not
the least of its achievements is the
creation OF a growing public sentiment
III favor of public improvements. Bel
fast's natural attractions readily attract
the visitor, and while they have been
greatly enhanced there is a field for fur
ther efforts in this direction.
