THE MARKETS
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, Dec. 23.-It is assumed
that the stock market for the rest of
the year will be relatively quiet A
large number of the most prominent
stockange interests will be out of
town for several days, and it is gener-
ally conceded that the trading will be
principally Of professional character
| 1t is undoubtedly true however, that
there will be considerable buying by
interests which have received direct
information from those who have been
in control of both the money market
and the stock market for some weeks,
that after the first of the year. they
may look for a general advance in
prices. Interests which keep in close
touch with Washington apparently ex-
pect congress to pass the currency
measure, now before it early, in the
year.,
Men who have sought information
from the largest banking interests in
this city apparently have been assured
that particular phases in the financial
situation will contribute to easier
monetary conditions from this time
on. 1t is not impossible, however,
that there will be a temporary furry
in money in connection with the prep
erations for the January first disburse-
ments. The arrangement which sew
eral of the large railroad systems have
made for anticipating the payment Of
the interest and dividends due on or
about the first of the year will lessen
the strain ON the money market that
might otherwise have been logically
expected. A prominent stock exchange
interest which has been looking care
fully into the question of municipal
ownership, particularly in the western
cities, has become convinced of public
utility properties by private interests
rather than by municipalities 1t is
understood that the controlling inter
ests in the Chicago traction situation
are now entirely confined to a final
and complete adjustment with the
city will be had within a comparative
ly short time and that all interests con-
cerned will fare better than was an
ticipated few months ago Interest
in the next few days win center in the

ureSe of Palm Trees

The various kinds of palm trees ON
the island Of Ceylon are in themselves
of great interest, and when their diff
ferent uses are explained person can
we'll appreciate how essential they are
to the natives in the low country SIN
galese districts. From the sap OF the
cocoanut palm the spirit he drinks is
distilled; the kernel of the nut is a
necessary element in his daily curry;
the milk" is the beverage offered to
every visitor to his domain his only
lamp is fed from the OIL his nets
for fishing are manufactured from its
fibre, as Is also the rope which keeps
his goat or COW from going asiray,;
while the rafters of his house, the
thatch of the roof and the window
blinds are made from its leaf and
wood. There is, perhaps, no product
in the world that is put to so many
and such profitable uses as the cocoa
nut palm, for, even before it Is grown
its leaf ribs are tied together to make
brooms for sweeping and cages to1
birds.

Enormous Increase in Printing

Census bureau figures for five years
ending with 1905 show an enormous
expansion of the printing and publish
ing industries. The cost of materials
used in the making of newspapers and
periodicals increased $20,000,000 in
five years, the value of the paper alone
jumping from $37S23,S56 to $58,966,,
25&. The total number of publications
increased from 1925 to 21,400. The
number of dailies jumped from 2,226 to
2,445, with "a circulation of 1884 ,257
for week days and Sunday circula-
titn of 11,539,521 copies. The number
of weeklies increased from 1879
with a circulation of 39,852,052, tC
$4,000, with drop in circulation to
36,733,597. The monthlies jumped
from 1917 in 1900, with circulation OF
over 39,000,0O0, to $500, with 62,776,
fi5 circulation.

Romance of Gum Gathering.

In Yucatan the gathering Of the
famous chicle chewing gum is an oc-
cupation apparently full of romance,
not unattended with considerable dan
ger. Bands of men, known as Chic
leros," go into the deep forests, under
experienced leaders, armed with heavy
knives of special make and pals and
ladies for the sap. Each one Is also
provided with strong rope more than
eighty feet long, to be used in climb
ing the lofty sapota trees from which
the gum is procured. The sap flows
from gashes cut in the bark A camp
of chlcleros, where the sap Is boiled,
resembles in some respects an Amer.
ican maple sugar camp. After months
of work the chicleros return from the
forests laden with bricklike blocks OF
aromatic gum. The finest gum, know
as ''sicte," is collected from the fruit
Of the sapOta mostly by the NATIVE
women, and is seldom exported, be
cause 1t is too we'll liked at home.

TWO Saloons Shy.

According to County Treasurer
Knobloch there are only two saloon
lists in Stark county who will discon-
tinue business in the line of wet goods
The two are Nick Schneider, of Mas
sillon, and Huber Wingerter, OF
Waynesburg. When the first assess
ment was made. there were $50 sa-
looms in this county.

Ancient British stronghold For Sale.
Dunstanburg Castle is about to be
offered for sale by auction. 1t was
first a British stronghold, then a Ro-
man fortress, and at a much later
period was garrisoned for Queen Mar
garet, after the battle of Hexham,
when it was besieged and taken after
an assault lasting three days. The
legend CT "Sir Guy, the Seeker" told
in a ballad by M. G. Lewis, is con-
nected with the castle. "Dunstan dia-
monds" are crystals found in the
neighborhood. A deep chasm in the
rock at the east of the castle is
known as the Rumble Churn." In
rough weather the sea rushes in, and
great clouds of spray are thrown up.

RICE AND MUSCULAR POWER.
In Polishing the Grain II Losos Much
Of Its NutritIVe Principles.

In Polishing the Grain II Losos Much
Of Its NutritIve Principles.
Rice is commonly supposed to be
deficient In muscle making qualities,
and yet the Japanese, whose chief and
almost only food Is rice, are noted for
their physical strength, and, in the la
ter advance on PelSin outsAipped the
armies of Russia, Germany, England,
France and America. Also, note the
same marvellous energy of the Japan
ese in the stuggle with Russia For
an explanation of these facts the Rev.
II. S. Chubb. of the Philadelphia Veg
etarian Society, applied recently to THE
agricultural department. His letter
was referred to Professor S. A.
Knapp, who investigated the rice in
dustry in China, japan and the Phil
ippines, and the explanation proved
to be very simple. The japanese and
other rice-eating nations do not polish
the grain except for export In the
mills the outside coating of the rice
kernel is rubbed off. The outer husk
and the bran just within 1t are remov-
ed, and chen the kernel is rubbed to
remove the rough protein surface This
is called polishing, and the process
not only removes one of the most nu-
tritious substances in all cereals, but
deprives the grain of about three
fourths Of its flavor.

No Doctors Bills in Sweden

Swedish doctors never send bills to
their patients. Each patient pays
what he deems just or is able to give
The rich pay the physician literally,
whether they have need of his SER
vices or not, if he has once been re-
tanned by them. The poor, if they
possibly can, pay him small sum,
and the very poor pay him nothing
Yet he attends the poor as faithfully
as he does the rich.-Exchange

Canada to Have a Mint.

Canada is to have a mint Of her
own and make her own money. Here,
tofore England has done all this lit
tle chore for Canada when not too
busy with her own affairs and at such
times she has let private parties
do it and then has sent the money
across the water to the colony. But
now there is to be mint established
at Montreal and Canadian gold and
silver, including the Klondike output
will be minted there, At. least large
proportion of It may be expected to
remain and circulate at home.

EDITORIAL

On one occasion, an exotic news
paper characterized MIR Foraker as
the father of Porto Rico.
Instead. that colleague should ha-
We called him the father of infanti-
|cides.
Here, we are face to face with the
dangers of redemptionist legiSla-
tion. We witness insensate, d1stur-
bing and anarchical projects, such as
the reform Of the mortgage law but
we have the means of seeing through
these crafty measures, they car be
watched and studied and rejected. ~
But no one knows what is behind
the project of Mr.. Foraker, no one
can tell where or to what it will
lead
In the proposed reform of the
mortgage law we have discovered
the object hoped TO be attained we
have seen the mailed fist, we know
that it means the liquidation of pro-
perties. leaving them at the mercy
of the adventurers, at the DISPOSE
tion of the first daring and unscrup-
ulOus usurper who presents himself;
but in the project of the American
Senator, what is it that is sought to
be accomplished?
Has it not occurred to the minds
of the enthusiastic felicitators of
Mr.. Foraker that it may be a new
trap set for us?
Have none of them remembered
that the President Of the League of
municipalities IS at the moment IN
the United States3
The very presence in Washington
of the President Of the League is a
colonial protest.
And it would seem as if this fact
had been overlooked by those who
have given vent to such enthusiastic
hurras, those who have wildly ap-
plauded things of which they know
nothing and are in utter ignorance.
They have failed utterly to take
into account the most important cir
.CumStance which we have cited, and
have indulged in Incorporate, ridi-
.culous and uncalled for applause,
which interrupts the eliminating see
ne in the grand drama which is being
unrolled
On this occasion - as on many
Others-it is the press that has set an
example of moderation and compo-
sure
The cablegram to which we refer
has been barely noticed in the col
umns of the principal Portorican dai-
lies, not being deemed worthy of any
comments nor entitled to any disp-
lay Of enthusiasm.
1t has been lesson which our i'm
pressionable political leaders would
do well to profit by.
If the unheard Of enthusiasm had
been confined to official quarters, it
would have been legitimate and ex~
pected; but the contrary has been the
case, and this is quite sufficient to
produce a very different effect on
opinion.
