1T COSTS $4,000.
Annual Expense of Free Distribution
of seeds.

Washington. March 24.=Postmaster
General Cortelyou has supplied Repre-
sentative Tawney, chairman OF the
house committee on appropriations,
with memorandum as to the actual
cost to the postof1ce department OF
handling the seeds furnished by the
department of agriculture for free dis
tribution. The postmaster general
states tas nearly as can be estimated.
the cost of carrying a pound of this
mail matter varies from 8 to cents.
I have been informed that the aggre-
gate weight OF vegetables and flower
seeds distributed annually by the de-
partment of agriculture under franks
is $4,000 pounds. The estimated
number of packages is 10000 Com
putting at the lowest estimate cents
pound-the cost of handling this
matter is $4,000
The postmaster general says that
while it is improbable any additional
clerks or carriers are employed solely
on account this distribution, It is
nevertheless self-evident that these
10000 packages clog the mails and
take up the time of a large number OF
clerks and carriers which might be
otherwise probably employed.

terests retarded retail trade and af-
fected 5obbfng sales and shipments
Building has been Interrupted but this
is only temporary and the winter
wheat crop has been put beyond harm
by the heaviest snowfall IN years at
this period. Uncertainty as to the coal
strike induces hesitancy in some lines
of industries, but has immensely slim

but steel rails sales are numerous and
fmme expenditures for railway
building west and northwest are pro-
jected.
Demand for money is active hence
rates are firm and promise to continue
so we'll into the balance Of the year.
Banking opinion seems to be that,
while no acute stringency Is to be
looked for, there will be nothing re-
sembling stagnation and that trade
and industrial requirements will be
very heavy. Collections are backward,
an outgrowth of the slowness of re-
tailers to remit on late winter and
early spring business, and warmer
weather. it is confidently believed,
would remedy this condition.
Railway earnings are really mag
nificent. the mild winter here being q
distinct benefit and the ratio of gross
receipts carried over to net has never
been equaled. Additional interesting
features are the numerous reports of
wage advance made in several indus
trial lines, the growth of the feeling
that a great coal strike will not oc-
cur, the Strengthening of prices of
leading staples, such as grain and cot
ton: the increasing sales of leather to
shoe manufacturers indicating cover
ing against fall sales of shoes, and the
elimination Of some soft spots in
yarns and other varieties of manufac-
tured cotton.

LITTLE SUNSHINE TO-DAY.
Weather Gives small signs Of Clear

There has not been enough sunshine
today to be worthy of the name and
yet day has not been such as usually
referred to as cloudy. Evidently the
rays of the sun are trying to penetrate
the clouds which hang over the city
though with but little success. The
temperatures for the day have been
considera BILE higher than those of yes
terday and outdoor travelling is about
all that any one could ask. There is
just a gentle breeze blowing from the
east and It is as warm as one later IN
the month should be.
There. was one one-hundredth of an
inch of precipitation Friday afternoon
but none since, though early this
morning there was a mist which al
most amounted to rain.
The forecast for Sunday predicts a
day of higher temperature and either
rain or snow.

No Anti.Semitism in Italy

No Anti-Semitism in Italy
In the Rassegna Nazionale (Florence)
Senator c. F. Gabba makes can Ap-
peal to Italian Israelites in Regard to
Zionism." In this article he points out
that Italy is the only country where
there is no anti-Semitism. There are
about thirty thousand Jews in Italy, but
they have lived there for centuries, and
are so thoroughly and patriotically Ital-
ianized that they are not considered
tiated as religious faith. Only in Italy
with Christian which Theodor Mommsen
declared the only remedy for anti-Semit
ism. Until the last Zionist congress at
Basel, no italian Jew had taken part in
the movement. Then one italian dele
gate appeared, and there was much con-
lecture whether he represented his Ital-
ian o-religionists, or only himself. Sen
ator Gabba feels sure of the latter, and
he appeals to all italian Jews not to al
low the separatist idea to be taught in
Italy, but to keep the present happy con-
dition of no prejudice in either religion
for the other. Zionism, he thinks, can
only add bitterness where schism al
ready exists, and where there is none 1t
is moral crime to introduce it.
A middle-aged Russian Jewess went
up to the mail box at Broome and Essex
streets in New York. After walking
around it several times and tapping the
sides she began to tumble under her
shawl, finally drawing forth bank book
with some bills between the leaves. She
put the bills into the box and then the
bank book. She was about to go away
when bystander questioned her.

When it was explained to her that she
would probably lose the money unless
she followed up the collection from that
box, she became frantic with grief. When
the carrier took the money and book out
Of the box she grabbed him around the
neck and kissed him. He explained to
her that the money would have to be
turned over to the postoffice authorities

tendent Ferguson gave her the money
after she was identified, and she depos-
tied it in the State Bank She said she
