There Is joy in Chicago. The White
Sox have won the American League
pennant. Some days before the Chicago
National League team secured the pen

time in the history of baseball two ma

a record to be proud of.
Chicago is the capital of the base

tribes, the Holy City of the national
sport, and everything else superlative.
The victory means two championships

an Interesting one. The critics of the

The White SoX won because they

Trying to Corner oHe Market.

Three States and the federal govern.
ment of Brazil have authorized a scheme
for the valorization of coffee in the hope
of stopping the downward movement of
the price of that commodity which has
been going on for the past three years.
The object is to maintain the price to the
grower by establishing a minimum quota
ton, at which it is to be upheld by pur-
chases of coffee on account of the States
concerned and by fixing the value of the
standard coin. The interest on a loan Of
$75,OOO,OO0 to be used for these purchases
is to be guaranteed and paid by a tax
ON every bag of coffee shipped, and the
proceeds Of the loan are to be held in
gold against Eyhich paper money is to be
issued. The scheme has not met with the
approval of the Rothschilds, who are the
chief financial of the Brazilian
government. Lord Rothschild, in an in
terview, says it is a most impracticable
scheme for raising the price of a world
product, and that even if coffee could be
]cornered, a few consecutive good crops in
Brazil itself would destroy the effect of it.

Mayer Factory, of Milwaukee, Uses
415,612 Annually.
Steers, Cows, Calves, Goats, Horses,
Sheep and Kangaroos, Contribute
to One of the Greatest In
duStrieS on Earth.

L the mad whirl Of business, people
rarely pause long enough to consider
the little things of life and how close
ly they are identified with the greater
ones-how inseparable, in fact, they
are, from and how essential to them.
Take for instance, the shoe business
did ever anyone ponder long enough
to realize the wealth of actual energy
and animal life expended in the prod
uction of footwear for the human
race.
AS an example, take the Mayer Boot
and Shoe company, a Milwaukee con-
Germ that it in three hundred working
days has consumed no less than 415,-
612 hides of all kinds during the past
twelve months.
Here, then, we have the hides OF
6O,29S steers, 31,163 cows, So
704 calves, 196,S46, goats. g.
500 sheep, 2,523 horses and
distributed by the great Mayer factory
with in the period of a year. Stand
these animals in a traigh line and
they would cover a distance of 351
miles, nearly one-sixtieth Of the
earth,s circumference. To bring this
live stock to its final point Of destina-
ton. required no less tina 5000 20
foot cars. which strung together would
cover over Is miles of railroad track.
It takes the hides of nearly 1900 ami
mails daily to supply the demands of
this monster shoe enterprise n were
all of them spread out at one time,
It would require an area of 5000, 600
square feet to accommodate them.
Nearly 1000 skilled artisans are
employed by the Mayer company the
year round making the Honorbilt shoe
for men, Western Lady for women
and the celebrated Martha Washing
ton comfort shoes: also school shoes
that wear like iron, and work shoes
for all classes and purposes. The to-
tai capacity of the Mayer factory is
5000 pairs of shoes a day. The equip
ment of this factory is as thoroughly
moder and up-to-date as money ana
experience can make it. Another de-
rcidedly favorable feature is hat of To-
cation, which is in the greatest leather
market in the world, thus enabling the
company to secure first-choice on
products consumed. The uniformly
excellent quality of all shoes turned
out by the Mayer factory is largely at
tributed TO this fact.

Prof. Gotthard Deutsch of the Hebrew
union college of Cincinnati makes answer
in the New York Hebrew Standard to the
charge recently made by Prof. Goodwin
Smith. that the prosecutions of the Jew
have not been prompted by religious IA
naticism. but because the jews ARE a
parasitic race" Prof. Deutsch says that,
even if the occupations of the Jews were
exclusively those of an intermediary, that
would not make them a parasitic race,
but he denies that the jew is exclusively
a middleman, referring to the hundreds
of thousands of sweatshops and tailor
shop work ers. He tells how the Jew was
excluded from manual trades and prohib-
tied from holding lands. but to-day, all
over Russia, Jewish workers are found
in the mills and tanneries. He denies
| that tribal spirit prevents the Jews from
| assimilating with other nationalities, and
, concludes that ''snobbery, bigotry and
| that mental inertia, which is responsible
| for the survival of many antiquated IDEAS
! account for the hostility to the Jews

Grand total
4,510,22l ,00r

Exhaustive reports compiled by
agents of the Department of Agricul-
ture bring out the fac that the total
of the leading grain crops of the
try falls but $4,000, 900 bushels below
the StupendouS yield of last year, when
the corr crop went into first place in
the history of this or any other coun-
try, and oats followed close to the high
record.
The important Development of the
last month was in oats. Close and spe-
cial investigation has been made TO as
certain the real facts which last month
placed this crop so far behind that of
last year, the shortage, according to the
September figures, being 1GO,OOO,OOO
bushels. The investigation discloses
that the ~unfavorable oat crop condi-
lions that were a month ago thought to
be important have been found to be
confined to comparatively limited areas
of the leading productive States. Short
straw often disclosed heavy grain, this
fact having been brought out in the
thrashing and marketing. These and
similar facts warrant a raising Of the
estimate of yield by 100000 bushels,
thus bringing the yield within 100000
900 bushels of the big 1905 crop.
Losses to the spring wheat crop
Northwest and beyond the Rockies have
served somewhat to offset oats in the
effect on the grand total of grains. De-
spite the reductions in the estimates of
spring wheat, the total wheat crop
stands but little short Of the bumper
yield of 1901, when the total yield was
74S, 10000 bushels. The winter wheat
crop. however, must be given the credit
for the big aggregate, as the spring
wheat yield is only moderate, fully 49,
OOO, 900 bushels behind last years.
The corn crop shows but little change
during the last month, the weather
having Deer in the main favorable for
bringing the new crop on nicely. The
weigh-up of the smaller crops shows a
gain of 100000 bushels of barley and
of nearly 100000 bushels of rye.
In the report on spring wheat the
shortage is shown to be not an unmixed
evil. AS will be seer by the table be-
low, the three leading States that are
tributary to the big mills that supply
a good part of this country and Europe
with flour will have to draw on the pie
thoric winter wheat crop for supplies
to %re-enforce their needs if they are to
keep up their former records. 1t is
claimed that these mills will grind
about I5O, 600 bushels of wheat an
nually, and hat the seeding require
ments are 21,OOO,OO bushels more.
This would leave a reserve Of only
5,OOO,0OO bushels for farm, mill, eleva-
for and other stocks.
