The industries. particularly iron. steel and

The activity in lumber is a notable feature
just now, the only complaint being Of deliveries
Shoe manufacturing is In rather BETTER shape
than previously.
Pressure of foreign iron at eastern seaboard
markets Is the reason assigned for the cut of 81

sympathetic weakening Of so cents per ton in

. LEARN SPANISH.

The Saturday Evening Post believes that. al
though Spanish Is not an easy language to learn.
the young man seeking for employment should
master 1t. and as soon as possible. The reasons
given these: '-..--- - =, ... ~
Millions of people who speak only Spanish are
rapidly becoming good Americans in our several
sea-washed colonies. 1t requires no argument to
show the wisdom of the trading and travelling
American acquiring at least working knowl-
edge of the tongue Of Castie--or that which
does service for it the western hemisphere.
The young man looking for employment in nearly
every branch of industry need not seek long il
he possesses a fair mastery of Spanish He will
probably secure with it. also. an opportunity
to travel and '.see something Of life''
But, while the Spanish language is difficult to
master thoroughly, working knowledge Of
Spanish is easily acquired by any one of ordi-
nary intelligence. But, in selecting teacher
let nothing induce You to decide on one who is
| not to the language born. No matter how we'll
| an American speaks it, he Is never well fitted
| to, teach 1T as the one whose mother language
| it is. ~,

lemon and orange growers havinb combined, and
this is already having tendency to advance

of several who have heretofore been cutting into
each other to secure trade.
The green vegetable list has already seen some

The butter market is on firm basis. with no

Eggs rule fully as active as during the last

Five-year-old Harold is of the blood of patri-
OTIS. His grandfather was In the Mexican as
