New Table Linens.

Harper's Bazaar: AS in everything
else, from wearing apparel to the house
furnishing goods, fashions In table
linen show a decided trend towards
oriental effects, tempered, however, by
American ideas in decoration. Not only
is the oriental fancy exhibited in he

but in the r~ich-looking and elegant
table sets in white and blue Chinese

roses, cherries and carnations.

Grand Forks N. D., May 9.-The farm
ers of the northwest have every reason
to congratulate themselves on the brand
of weather that has been dealt out the
past two weeks An exceedingly late
spring has given place to an early summer,
and the chances are that by the middle Of
June crops will be more forward than
they are usually at that time
There has never been a year when the
conditions were more favorable to growth,
The soil resembles that in hotbed and
grain begins to sprout immediately after
seeding. On the high lands west and
southwest the fields are already green, and
even in the valley, which has been the
slowest to dry, grain is up on many fields.
The prospect is that there will be some
decrease in the wheat acreage, owing to
the lateness of the season.
Milford, Iowa, May Crop prospects
are magnificent in this county Small
grain is up and looking well. Flowing for
corn is well advanced. A fine rain has
brought grass and all vegetation forward
very rapidly.
Andover, S. D., May 9.-Seeding is later
than it has been for many years, but the
farmers do not complain, as there is
plenty of moisture in the ground, and the
grain Is sure to grow when once covered.
Redfeld, S. D., May 9.-The crop out
look is encouraging. The ground. is in
good condition and the grain has come IN
well, showing a vigorous and abundant
stand.

AMERICAN TRADE

Canadian Concession to Mother

ing, Washington.
Washington, May George John
son, Dominion statistician, has pre-
pared a memorandum for the Duke Of
Argyle, dealing with the operation Of
the Canadian preferential tariff. It
shows that British exports to Canada
were rapidly sinking prior to the
adoption Of the preferential. having
fallen from $68,0O0,OOO in 1873 to
$29,000,00O in 1897.
on rising scale, and for 1908 that
trade aggregated $59,0O0,0O0.
commenting on these figures. II. S.
Culver. American consul at London,
Ont, writes the department Of COM
merce and labor that the increase Of
Canadian imports from the United
States for the years included in John
sons review is relatively much greater
than those from Great Britain, show
ing That the preferential has had moth
ing whatever to do with the case. !
quote briefly from Culver's report:
"A glance at this statement shows
that imports from the United King
dom into Canada during the forego-
ing preferential years have not kept
even relative pace with the increase
| in general imports into the Domin-
ion. Imports into Canada in 1908
were $l1,zO2,414 more than double
the imports Of 1897. Imports from
the United Kingdom in 1903 were a
fraction less than double what they
were in 1897, while imports from
the United. States in 1903 were $14,.
i 3O7,l13 more than double those o.
1897.
Tt cannot be denied that the Ca:
madam concession Of 1913 per cen
preferential tariff paid to British man
ufacturers looks like a prime factor
In the premises; yet, looking at thu
very creditable increase in the impor
trade of the Dominion, it really ap
pears as If British trade would hav,
I attained it's 1908 maximum had
I preferential tariff never been enacted
i TO assume the contrary would b.
to assume a general hypothesis tina
4 British manufacturers are able to NEE
American manufacturers in the mar
I kets Of the world only when they ar
granted a preferential tariff of 33 l.
per cent"
! The effect Of Consul Culver's argu
ment is that the preferential of 33 l.
per cent has not Disseminated agains
American trade with Canada, whic
will be welcome news to many peopl
this side of the line.
