Two striking facts are noticeable
 in the stock market, says Banker Clews. First, an extraordinary com.
 bination of favorable circumstances, and, second, the undoubted purpose of powerful financial interests to take every advantage of these circum- stances possible. Without going into the already familiar details about good crops, satisfactory business prospects, the great activity in indus try, etc, the present situation is prob ably the most remarkable in the his- tory of Wall street. Not in the mem- ory of the oldest operator has there been a time when the financial skies were so universally bright or so free of clouds. The plans of our large op- orators, therefore, need cause no sur prise; they are the natural sequence of the times. While their methods may have involved them in an out burst of criticism, their objects are the same as those pursued by all other men in gainful employment. They have large amounts of stocks to sell, and the probabilities of finding a profitable market are beyond their most hopeful dreams. There is noth- ing unusual, therefore, in their pull ing together for this purpose.

Consul-General IddiI

Consul-General Iddings makes some interesting points in connection with the trade between the United States and Egypt. His figures as to exports and imports from Egyptian sources do not, however, agree with those of our bureau of statistics, which gives the imports from Egypt for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1906, as S9,391,621 in value and the exports to that country as reaching only s1,163.12S. But even that small aggregate of exports was s41O,639 greater than in 1905 and over twice as much in 1904. Nearly all of the imports were of raw cotton, the importation of which has been steadily increasing for several years.
 MT Iddings's illustrations as to the carelessness of some American ship pers are very much to the point, even though they may be exceptional. Until the United States has its own merchant marine and ceases to be wholly dependent on vessels belong ing to foreign competitors in trade satisfactory results can hardly be ex- pected. The decision of the Egyptian government against American loco motives carries no weight, for the reason that Englishmen might be ex- pected to favor their home products.

 This mid-August hot spell should be. followed by some delightful weather, according to the habit of the seasons. The present wave of heat is especially severe in eastern and northern New England. Sunday was much more uncomfortable day in Boston and clear up to the White mountain region and beyond than it was in Hartford. Last night was one of the most oppressive of the summer nights. Within day or two we may expect heavy thunder storms and be- fore the end of the week there should be some bright, cool days.-Hartford Times.
 Tobacco without nicotine" is the latest product to claim the attention of American smokers and American manufacturers of cigars, and one of our foreign consuls goes so far as to say that such weed might find favor with a certain class of smokers in this country, and that the innovation would in no way lessen the demand for tobacco, but, on the other hand, win new customers. He may be right: but at first thought, tobacco without nicotine savers of milk with out. cream, poor commercial propo- sition, lifeless, if not an adulteration.

s
 In New York state both the demo- crats and republicans are playing in great luck. The democrats are lucky because the republicans are fighting among themselves, and the republi- cans are lucky because the democrats has inter-party strife. The demo- cratic conflict, of course, is between Hearts and anti-Hearst factions, with the gubernational nomination and control of the party machinery as the prizes. In this fight, however, there is involved. the issue of Hearst's doc trines, something that affects the welfare of the people. The New York republican fight. on the other hand, would seem to have nothing back of it other than the sordid ann bitions of two men, the question of whether an Odell or a Higgins shall be boss. It is a pitiful issue upon which republicans are asked to bat tie, and it is a pitiful choice of evils which the party has. ]

FACTS.

This school has the best lighted and ventilated rooms of any commer- .cial school in Connecticut. It has individual office desks in the commercial department. and ta- bles made especially for the short hand department.
 It has more Smith Premier, Rem ington and Underwood typewriterS than any school in this section.
 It is strong financially. and refers to the Fourth National Bank.
 It has always been the sincere aim of the school to secure the ablest fac ulty possible.
 It is the duty of this faculty to in- struct faithfully. and do all in their power to lay a firm foundation for manly, noble and moral character.
 It is strictly a working school. and the discipline is such that students accomplish much more In a given length of time than in other schools.
 The above facts were written af- ter careful consideration of each statement They are either true or untrue. If they are true, prospective students cannot afford to attend else where. If they seem untrue or exag- gerated. visit to the school will serve to convince the most skeptical. Visitors are always welcome.

Were What He Needed.

In rural town in Michigan lived a
family named Beaver. noted for their
hardihood in all manner of naughti-
ness. They were the great torment
of the minister's life. Finally, one
of the boys was bit by rattlesnake
and sent for him. He found the lad
greatly scared and very penitent.
After some conversation. the reverend
gentleman closed the interview by
prayer.

for rattlesnakes. We thank thee that
a rattlesnake has bit Jim. Send an
other. we pray thee, to bite Tom, and
one to bite Joe. And, o Lord. send
the biggest kind of a rattlesnake to
bite the old man: for nothing less than
rattlesnakes will bring this Beaver
family to repentance. metaphysical

The trade OF Chilli is almost entire

France imported 100000 worth Of
apples from Canada last summer and
fall.
In 1904 Denmark sent to England
over $4,000 tons of butter, valued at
$45, ,0OO. 900.

steel rails for 1907 delivery are under
negotiation, and that fully half that
tonnage has already been placed.
1t is said that the hides of American
live cattle sent to England to be killed
and eaten arc by prearrangement all
sent back across the Atlantic, there to
be tanned. and. mayhap, reshipped to
England as leather or in boots and
shoes.
