Two. Important Business Events.

In no like period for a long time
has there been .business-a affecting de-
velopment Of such moment as in the
past few days. Two events, impor-
tant almost beyond measure, mark the
week, one influencing the financial
world, the other bearing upon affairs
commercial. Uncertainty exists as to
final results, and doubt as to how far
reaching these factors may be, but
immediate effects have been highly
beneficial. Sentiment of the conserv-
atively hopeful kind has grown, much
nervousness and doubt has been dis
sipated, and a general clearing of the
atmosphere has followed the defeat
Of the merger scheme and the pass
ing Of the bull influence in cotton.
The opening Of the week brought
the merger decision. Activity began
at once in the stock market, with bust
ness in volume almost back to nor
NAL, and as had been predicted, prices
rose g. few points. Even those in the
financial center who have been the
most ardent supporters of the merger
scheme, could not but admit that the
whole country is better off for hav-
ing it out Of the way, while those
traders who opposed it--and there
were many more on the opposition
side than the general public may have
supposed-were jubilant.
Some time must pass before it will
be- possible to know just how the. de-
cis1on is to work out, but there are
already a few things clear. No one
has been hurt, unless it be the few
who tried to put thru the illegal COM
bine. No property has been injured,
no earning power lessened, no rights
in any way impaired. Things are as
they were before. Neither is there
the slightest fear that the decision
will be followed up by attacks upon
corporations, right and left, as the
ance comes straight from Washington,
but it was not needed. 1t is carrying
q bear argument pretty far to- insist
that the government is out to smash
things. All that&the government has
done has been to cause a decision, in
case that had, to come before the
supreme court finally in any event, tc
be rendered much earlier than would
ordinarily have been the case.

Railway Rates in Europe and
America vz... ~, :


senger- rates are lower on european
railways than on American. Compari-
sons between the charges for service
made by the railways of the-2tWo re-
gions usually refer to freight rates. In
these the United States has a great adj
vantage. According to Emory John-
son. the average receipts per pas.
sengerz per mile in England are less
than 2, cents. In Prussia these re-
CENTS are LOS cents; in France, IL;
in Russia three-fourths of, a cent. IN
the United States the rate was slightly
over 2 cents a mile in 1901 and IS
probably somewhat higher now. p,
The cause of the difference in pas
senger rates between the United
States and Europe is to be found
largely in the different character or
the people and, the differences IN thelr
economic condition and in the density
Of the population. :, In the United
States the demand is for quick SER
vice and luxurious equipment. we
pay we'll for our passenger service and
insist that it shall be good. In Eu-
rope the great majority of the pas.
sengefs-about 80 per confuse the
cheaper class of coaches and the slow
err trains They get a poor service
and~-pay for it.. 1t, is a service that
suits countries where the average per-
son is poor and wages are low. Time
is not considered money; there to the
! extent that it is, here. Our passengers
will save time and spend money; the
Europeans will spend time and save
money. The population being dense
in Europe and the distances short, the
railways have found 1t profitable, to
stimulate passenger traffic by reduc-
ing fares. Passenger fares have de-
clined much more rapidly in Europe
| than here and the volume of the
traffic has increased very rapidly.
On the other hand freight rates in
the United States will not average
more than half as much. as those OF
Europe, being only three-fourths of a
cent per ton per mile, and the tendency
has been for thirty years steadily tc
reduce them. The large tonnage and
the long haul explain why freight
rates in the. United States are and
!. must be lower than in Europe. The
average distance for a haul Of tor
Of freight in the United States is 25z
miles,. in Germany 81, in France 80
in Austria 80, in Italy 70. z The rates
here, simply must be- low, else bust
ness would languish and the railway!
would suffer. Business could hardly
be conducted in this country Will
the freight rates as high as in Eu
rope with the average haul ore; thar
three times as great. Hence our rail
way captains have been forced to con

hardly believe that the alderman who has

ordinance expects the success of his proIn-

tention to the fact that the ordinance is
a dead letter. Certainly II his home Is

How Heels Are Made.
(Tha Shoe Retailer

Making wooden heel is an inter-
esting task. The heel itself is mold
ed on an irregular molder, a strange
but very effective machine; and a
singular fact about it is that not a
single improvement has been made
on it in twenty-five Years. The heel
is nodded from the best quality of
rock maple, and after it is shaped
is covered with leather, usually fine
kid of cabretta stock, which may be
in many colors, according to prevail
ing fashions.
The leather is stretched on, fasten-
ed with the best quality of rubber
cement and then ironed, so that when
the job is finished the heel looks as
if all of leather, and a pair of them
cost as much as a full-sized top lift
for women's shoes, though less than
half their size. The fact is, good
material and workmanship are put
into the high heel, for it is one of the
vital parts Of the shoe, or slipper.
