ENGLAND LOOKS FOR SPEEDY And GREAT
IMPROVEMENT In The STATE OF TRADE

Special Foreign Service
LONDON, Feb. 25.-There are signs
In almost every sphere of trade of
speedy and welcome return of COM
mercial prosperity. Though there is
nothing in the nature of boom, and
no special advance to record in any
particular direction, the indications of
better trade are regarded in business
-fSascles as unmistakable.
there is no doubt, - said Mr. Buck
nell, of the Home, Foreign and Colonial
trade agency, that trade generally is
more buoyant than it has been since
1901. During the last few weeks there
has been marked improvement, and
the tendency is for the Improvement to
continue. The Board of Trade returns
for last year are deceptive. They show
ed an increase of 8,761,S3 pounds in
imports and 100000 pounds in ex-
ports. 1t is, however, well known in
trade circles that although the turn
over was larger the prices were cut so
low that profits were considerably
smaller. This year certainly promises
better"

GOLD LIES IN SCOTCH

GLASGOW. Feb. 25.-"Gold lies in at
least one of the mountains of Kintail,"
says the Scotsman, land the ore is
now being worked by two experienced
miners, who have followed the vein to
q distance of 90 feet into the hillside,
and who report that the deeper it goes

There is ground for the belief that
certain tests have proved that in the
rock from which our specimens came
there is no less than 3 per cent of gold.
If this be so. there remains no doubt
that the mine may be worked to yield
q handsome profit"

Not Sentimental

purpose in his buttonhoie, worn on
whatever rnomentous occasion, is es-
teemed by him to be more At for the
wastebasket than the bureau drawer. He
has been known TO crumple her billet
