WELCOME
To Prince Henry, Who
Will Probably Become
Guest of America.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-The an.
nouncement that Prince Henry OF
Prussia, brother OF Emperor William
will be met at New York by repre-
sentatives of President Roosevelt
An officer will be detailed from che
army and one from the navy TO ar
range for the convenience Of the
Prince, and to accompany him. He
is an admiral in the German navy,
and when he arrives at New York,
will be greeted by salute of Il guns,
which is the same as a Presidential
salute. He may make an address at
the launching OF the imperial yacht,
which is to be christened by Miss
Roosevelt, and it is not improbable
that President Roosevelt may attend
the launching and respond to ths
Princes address.
On his arrival in Washington Prince
Henry will be received by the Presi
dent and will be invited to become
the guest Of the nation. Whether he

appointed state factory inspector of
Ohio, which takes him out OF the race,
though he has had ambitions in that
direction for number of years. Tigho
at the present time is the logical sue
cessor of Shaffer, He gained great
popularity during the last contest,
when he brought out the workers at
Joliet and Chicago after Shaffer had
failed-though Tlghe was opposed to
the strike at its inception.
There are other candidates. John
Pierce, of Pittsburg, national organ
izer and for years national trustee, who
has been member of the association
ever since its birth, is immensely pop
ular, and John Buckley, of Youngstown,
is being touted by the Mahoning and
Shenango Valley membership.

relief from severe pains in my back by
the use of Doan's Kidney Pills which
were procured Al The Durbin & Wright

COURT RECORDS
SHOW CONDITIONS

to run the country for years. They
had too much capital tied up in the
article for which there
was no sale-no way of converting it
into cash.
Another reason why the present pros
perity is likely to last is that the bal
ance of trade Is in favor of the United
States. The products of the farm and
shop are finding ready market in al,
lands. This brings gold to this coun-
try from abroad. and instead of the
stream flowing outward 1t is flowing
inward. It is an immigration of a
sort that no one wants to quarantine
against, apparently.
Canton's hopes rest upon the con-
tinuation of the manufacturing activ-
ity. Her Industries have almost
doubled within the last few years.
Within the next few months thousands
Of additional workmen will be toiling
and earning wages in the city. Real
estate Is advancing In price, although
nothing in the way of exorbitant prices
is either asked or paid. Indeed, 1t Is
surprising how cheaply building lots
can be bought especially in the new
additions that have been laid out.
MANY TRANSFERS.
Real estate transactions were never
more numerous, and the most sur.
prising and promising feature of the
purchases is that people are buying fol
the purpose of building homes, which
means very subst Vltial growth in the
city's population and wealth. There Is
little buying for speculation, except
where large tracts of land are purchas
ed for the purpose Of laying out addi
tions.
The most conservative Cantonians
men of business training and acumen
are Of the opinion that the presen
prosperity has come to stay. The.
argue that the bankers and men whit
control the finances have learned les
sons in the past and will profit b,
them. There will be little wildca
speculation, as those who have contro
Of capital will not furnish the necas
sary cash unless there Is something
tangible in sight as security.
The consensus of opinion is tina
!; Canton's prosperity is assured at leas
for number Of years, and the genera
!, disposition is to take care Of the booi
while 1t lasts.

not known. His call upon the Pres,
ident will be returned In person BY
Mr.. Roosevelt, who will invite him to
dinner, where there will also be
the most prominent men OF the coun'
try. Everything will be done to make
Prince Henry's visit pleasant and
memorable one.
New York, Jan. 13.-During this
week the plans will be considered for
the reception OF Admiral Prince

TRADE SITUATION IN GERMANY.
Tho Berlin Bourse Had Another
Strong Week Despite Pessi-
hictlc Speeches.

Berlin Jan. 13.--Notwithstandin
the unfavorable view OF the condition
ol business given by Emperor VIII
liam's speech from the throne, read
by Count Won Buelow, at the opening
Of the Prussian diet January ., ana
the pessimistic survey Of the finances
Of the Empire by Baron Won Thiel-
mann, secretary of the imperial treas
ury, the Bourse had another strong
week. The upward movement Is as
suming greater dimensions and az
fecting more industrials sucn as cs-
ment, machinery, electrical md tex
tile concerns. On some days last
week an uncommon activity was de-
veloped, but 1t Is remarked that the
buying was solely speculative and
confined to the professional element
which is inclined to realize at the first
opportunity. The investing public
still holds aloof, particularly from in
dustrials. The keenest observers
point out that the present bull move
ment has already gone much too far,
and areaction is predicted. The
Frankfurter Zeitung and the Vos-
siche Zeitung both express this view.
Money remains very easy. Call
money was offered abundantly at z
per cent and some was placed at less.
The reviews emphasize the fact that
money Is now easier at Berlin than
at any other place In Europe. The
ease OF money has caused all foreign
exchange to rise, the exchange on
Paris reaching the gold point. The
export of gold to Paris Is regarded as
probable. The reviews, however, .ex-
pect an early reduction In the Reichs-
bank rate Of discount.
The market for most Of the gov
ernment funds was firm. Neverthe-
less government per cents lost a
| fraction as q result OF the speech
from the throne and the statement
Of Baron Won Thielmann, which they
have not wholly reco vered.
Bank stocks were bought consider
ably during the past week for spec
ulative purposes, aud the shares OF
provincial banks also improved.
Shares Of the ocean steamship com.
panies were very quiet, as were Amer.
lean securities with the exception OF
Canadians, which were more active
upon New York advices.
/, The reports of the iron industry
continue to be mainly favorable. A
number of price advances were an
nounced last week. The rolling mills
OF Western Germany advanced the
price Of iron FIVE marks to 106 marks
the 4ilesian works did the same
thing, and the Bar Iron association
announced a similar increase. The
latter resolved to take orders only
for short terms, thus reversing theil
previous policy. The Siegen distric'
reports an active demand for shee
iron.
