Fire at Maquoketa.
Special to T.mes-Repubiican.

SpeClaI 10 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
Maquoketa, Feb. 15.-For an hour
yesterday morning the business por-
ton of Maquoketa was threatened by
a disastrous fire that broke out in the
hay and feed store of l. f. Johnson on
Olive street, and was not brought I'M
der control until the building i'll which
it originated was a mass of ruins
The fire deartment used three
streams of water on the burning build
ing for three hours in order to get the
blaze under control. AS a result all
the cellars in the vicinity We're flood
ed. While the fire was at it's height
about 1880 o'clock, it was feared the
livery stable owned by H. G. Seaman
would be destroyed and his $4,000 stock
was removed from the structure
which the firemen succeeded in saw
ing.
The loss on the feed store building,
owned by Mrs. Thomas Boyd, was ST.
600. Mrs. Boyd had no insurance. Mr..
Johnson carried insurance on his feed
stock. His loss was $500. This was
the most stubborn fire Maquoketa has
had in years.

ing this statement again upon our eX-
port figures. and exported $4,000 900
worth OF cotton manufactures, Dract1-
cally all finished goods, the quantity OF
yarns exported being less than $1,000
600 in value. Japan, as all eady indi-
Gated, took in 1908 $7,500,000 worth of

Dictated by our expert figures, and e.-
ported S20,000000 worth cotton manu-

The fact that yarns form much
argcr part of Japan's exports of cot
toIl manufactures than is u 9 case with
those of European countries is appa1-
antly due i'm part to the f; ct that her
manufacturing establishn ents have
not yet reached that stage Of perfec-
which the older countries of Europe
ton in the production of finished goods
have attained; and i'm part, also. 10 the
fact that the people of her largest GUS

the household manuflctGr IS of cotton
cloths for domestic use. especially In
years OF high prices of finished goods.
This is also true of the cotton eX-
ports of India, which In the year end
ing March 81. 1904, amounted to $34,
100000. of which $500, 200 went in
the form of yarns largely 10 China and

annually, of which $500, 100000 goes i'm
the form of cloths, $l52, 100000 as mis-
