crease rapidly. In addition to the
regular grind of the courts, which
is Away heavy at this seaeon Of
peace on earth and good will to-
wards men, the reformatory is
transferring number of prison
ers to this institution, and the con-
sequence is that today there are
~ more inmates here than at
this time last year. All the cells
are occupied and more cots are be-
ing put in the corridors every day.
During the past week twelve
prisoners we're received and one,
w. c., 4549, was discharged.
There are now 500 inmates, Of
whom APO are in the first grade
166 in the second, and ten in the
third.

There was no drill in The yard
last Sunday and there will be none
until the weather moderates.
There are few sufferers from colds
in the prison now, and the Deputy
says he does not wish to run the
risk of taking the men out while
the weather is so severe, altho the
fresh air is beneficial to many Of
them.

It is impossible for everyone to

but he is wrong. There are a lot
of men in here who fail to improve
their spare moments and at the
same time regret that the time does

NO GREAT STRATEGIC vAIuE

The complaints of the Canadians on
account of the Alaska boundary COM
missions decision seem to rest mainly
upon the idea that they are left bv it
without sufficient military. sa fee1ar7s
One of the members dweIIs upon the
fact that the islands that have been
assigned to the United States would
control the Portland canal; that the
San Juan islands menace the British
possessions farther south, and that
there is an island commanding the en-
trance to Port Arthur on Lake Su-
perior. He complains bitterly that
these footholds would enable the
United States in time of war to domi-
nate or destroy important Canadian
points.
There is not the slightest weight in
this view, as a moments reflection will
show. 1t is obviously silly to talk about
the possibility of fortifying the boun-
Diary line between the United States
and Canada or any considerable por-
ton of it, or of making any such mill
tary arrangements as would prevent
the forces of the stronger country
from overrunning the weaker if they
SO desired. The frontier between
France and Germany is but flea bite
in comparison to this, and yet neither
OF those great military powers has ever
imagined that it could erect an impas-
sable barrier against the other, or do
more than make its passage difficult.
With line stretching from ocean to
ocean on the American continent and
comparatively sparsely settled terri
tory on either side. the notion of a de-
fensive fertilization is ridiculous. 1t

TRADE CONDITIONS
ARE SATISFACTORY
There Is Evidence, However,
That the Abnormal Activity
Has Received a Check.

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-R. G. Dun &.
Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say: Numerous controversies
have appeared and more furnaces and
mills have closed, the tendency being
10 operat only the plants provided
with the most modern equipment.
Ihere is no anxiety regarding legisla-
ton at the special session of congress.
and despite the curtaiIment of activity
IN many manufacturing lines. a heavy
volume of business is being transa cted-
The flour mills at Minneapolis have
fully resumed, and a big seasons cut is
contemplated at Minnesota lumber
mills. Western traffic facilities are
proving inadequate, the distribution Of
merchandise being enormous at the in
Terror, and, taking the country as a
whole, conditions may be considered
ialrIy satisfactory, although there are
lllulSputaole evidences that the alb
normal activity has received a check.
Inc Jobb1ng trade has become more
quiet with the advancing season, and
at many points the weather is not cal
cuIated to maintain buying of wearing
apparel at retail. The gross earnings
OF the railways thus far reported for
october surpass last years by 81 per
cent. Another general reduction in
o.
notwithstanding the restriction of out
put. and a movement is on foot further
TO reduce production unless business
improves. New orders are few and
limited to immediate requirements,
which is also true of finished steel.
Not only have additional contracts
talled to be offered, but cancellations
of old orders are reported.
Efforts are being made to secure for
elgn trade, with fair prospects of sue
cess. particularly in several lines for
machinery and other high class
products. Bank failures in the Pitts
burg region have added to the unset
tied condition of the iron and steel in
dustry, and the financial situation is
largely responsible for the postpone
ment of contemplated structural work
A little encouragement was given to
the textile industry by the placing of
moderate orders for brown sheetings to
be exported, but this Chinese business
is OF special nature and not a revival
of regular trade for the East Other
wise the cotton goods market is with
out feature. AS to woolens and wor-
| stedS, a slight increase in orders is
noted. Clothing manufacturers are not
seeking wooden goods, and there is still
a pressure to sell worsteds that makes
prices Irregular. Silks are weak and
inactive. Large contracts have been
placed for spring shipments of shoes,
and prices are somewhat firmer on a
few lines, while others are steady and
firm in tone. Heavy hemIock sole
leather is strong, but other grades de-
cline in response to the general weak
ness of domestic hides
Failures this week numbered PIG in
the United States, compared with 239
last year, and in Canada 26, against %
year ago.
