tree ere numbered. Alizarin is one of the
great achievements of the synthetic
chemist. It was formerly obtained from
madden root, the cultivation of which
was a great industry in many European,
countries. 1t is used for dyeing cotton
turkey red and other shades and is re-
markable for its brllliance and fastfess.
The chemist studied out it's chemical ma
ture and in 1869 began to manufacture it
from anthracene, a coal tar product The
madden industry is now extinct and over
twenty million dollars year are saved,
so cheaply can alizarin be manufactured.
A greater achievement was the artificial
production OF indigo, success being real
lied in July 1897, after a struggle for
nearly twenty-five years. indigo is the
most beautiful and valuable of all dyes.
1t is manufactured by one company in
Germany with a capital of four and one
half million dollars and it produces in one
year as much as one quarter OF a million
acres of land in the home of the indigo
plant. Synthetic indigo is much better
than vegetable indigo. 1t is absolutely
pure, it dyes brighter shades, and the
| dyeing process is not guesN work. The
Germans beat the world in the manufac-
ture of synthetic compounds. Notwith-
standing the great achievements of the
past / believe still greater ones are in

MONEY GROWS EASIER
(By the Associated Press.)

New York Jan 15.-R. G. Dun & Com
pany's weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
Reports of improvement in the volume
of business outnumber unfayorable dis
patches, although the situation is decided
" irregular. AS the money market be-
comes easier there is better prospect OF
postponed work being resumed. All
structural lines are largely dependent
upon the ability of the railroads to Dor
row money, and the restoration OF conn
dence among investors. Only fair reports
are received regarding the leading manu-
featuring lines. Many iron and steel
plants have resumed, but the preceding
curtailment was very severe. Textile
fabrics are as badly unsettled as ever,
lower prices for new lines of woolens
proving a disagreeable surprise to the
many small operators and speculation in
cotton rendering forward contracts for
goods an impossibility. Distribution OF
merchandise increases with more normal
weather and clothing houses report lb-
eral orders for spring goods from sales
men at the West and South.
Conservatism still marks the course OF
both buyers and manufacturers OF cotton
goods. Undoubtedly consumption is gain.
ing on production, but there is no inclina-
ton to anticipate requirements. Further
moderate advances in quotations are
asked by the mills and small orders are
placed, quick delivery being asked il
every case.
Failures this week numbered 324 in the
United States against 267 last year.
