r. C. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review

r. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
of trade says:
Weather irregularities provided the
only check to business, partly through
the direct effect on retail distribution OF
seasonablc wearing apparel, but more
through the development OF caution
among traders in some agricultural sec
tons where crops nave been damaged or
farm work regarded.
On the whole, however, encouraging
progress is shown in most trade reports
and industrial activity is undated.
Textile manufacturing is in better
position than at any recent date, the
strength of the raw materials giving
additional frinness to finished fabrics.
Footwear factories in New England
are well engaged, and there is no re-
duction in the forces at work i'll the

steel industry.

Youth The Time For Reading

Sir Edward Grey, in speech at q
literary dinner in London, made some
variations on the now familiar theme
of the productive period of life. One of
his definite opinions was that the vital
reading of a man is usually done be-
tween the ages of twenty-one and thir-
ty-five. There are no doubt precocious
children who attack masterpieces be-
fore they get to their teens, but the
majority of us gorged ourselves with
rubbish in childhood. Once in our lives
Mayne Reid and Marryat and Dumas
were the literary kings. But the
healthy, advancing mind throws the
rubbish aside as time goes on and the
maturing judgment begins to drift and
search for the mental food that the in
dividuality requires. About thirty-five,
however, the bones of the intellect,
to write in a metaphor, begin to ixdu-
rate. About forty the minds Of few
men continue to expand, though the
Judgment may continue to ripen. The
page we turn later is mot verse now,
only prose" -Philadelphia Ledger.

Youno RockefeIler's Training.

At Brown university, where John D.
Rockefeller, ", was graduated in the
class of 1897, tales are still told to
show how his father impressed on him
the same scrupulous regard to detail
that made the Standard Oil Company
successful. One day when John Jr.,
was down in the city of Providence
with a couple of girls, he took them
INTO a convenient drug store and treat
ed them to ice cream soda. After he
had paid the checks and before he left
the store he surprised his fair COM
paDions by pulling out pocket memo
randum book and entering: Three
ice cream sodas, thirty cents"

selected. In the arrangement of this detail, and others of like importance, President Roosevelt is acting as an in- termediary between Russia and Japan. Russia, through Ambassador Cassini, has indicated her preference for one place for the holding of the peace con- ference, and Japan, through Minister Takahira has suggested another. It is intimated, officially, that an agree ment on the place of holding the con- ference may be determined on in a few days, but no suggestion, except of a negative character of the choice of either of the belligerents, is obtainable. It is known that neither Washington nor the battlefield of Manchuria was the selection of either Russia or Japan. Further than that, information of a definite nature was withheld. There is no suggestion that in the question of the location of the peace conference, President Roosevelt shall act as an ar bitter. It is expected that the two gov- ernments principally interested will have no serious difficulty in reaching an agreement on that point ,as Russia already has indicated informally that Japans selection of @ place probably would be satisfactory to Emperor Nich- olas.
 Official assurance is given that, at present, the response made by Japan to the presidents identical note will not be made public from Washington in precise form, inasmuch as the Russian reply is not available in similar form. Negotiations between Washington and St. Petersburg and between Washing ton and Tokio, are in progress and the final arrangements for the peace con- ference, in it's essential details, are like ly to be a question of only a few days. As soon as the arrangements are com- pleted definitely, an armisticee will be
 agreed upon and the great armies in Manchuria will lower their bayonets pending the formal negotiation of a permanent treaty of peace
