DUN'S WEEKLY SUMMARY
Rush for Structural Shapes Has
Quieted Down, But Wholesome
Conditions Continue,

r. G. Dun & Co.'s "Weekly Re
view of Trade" says: Distribution OF
heavyweight wearing apparel, fuel
and other seasonable merchandise
expanded rapidly in response to the
more normal temperature, but one
weeks business has not depleted the
accumulation Of last month and re-
tail stocks of these goods are still
burdensome. Reports are much more
satisfactory, however, and an impetus
has been given to wholesale trade in
spring dry goods and other forward
business depending upon confidence
in continued National prosperity.
Jobbng returns and manufactur-
ing statements indicate Ettle idle
capacity, the leading industrial
plants having added to their already
heavy contracts on hand. Mercan-
tile collections are prompt as Il rule,
although some extensions are asked.
Commodity prices are fairly steady,
no important variations occurring
. ~during the past week.
The only adverse development OF
the week was the less pacific news
from the coal fields, although q
strike may be prevented by agree
ment any time before April !. Rail
way earnings for January, now fairly
complete show an increase of 1876
per cent. over last years figures,
while foreign commerce at New York
for the last week made most strili-
ingly favorable comparison with the
same period in 1905, exports gain
ing $6,S90,59S, while imports in
creased s2,275,O39.
Less urgency to place orders for
iron and steel products during the
past week is satisfactory develop
ment because il testifies to the alb
sence of speculative operations that
. might easily produce unwholesome
initiation of prices. Yet the past
week was by no means devoid Of new
inquiries, particularly in regard to
structural steel for lake vessel and
manufacturing plants. Seasonably
Door quality Of hides has weakened
the tone, the only firm department
being packer branded hides for sole
leather. New business in boots and
shoes is quiet.

ed States, against 256 last year, and
90 in Canada, with q year ago.

According to the provisions of the

the manufacture of it will have to go
to distilleries and the provisions for
the material of decentralization are so
expensive that it will be impossible to

the price being more than 80 cents a
gallon. AS the Stand ard Oil people

naturized alcohol bill and the very

RADIUM AND LIFE,
The Experiments That Have Been
Made and What They Show

The Experiments That Have Been
Made and What They Show.
Does it appear that any one has pre-
pared from sterilized bouillon by the
action Of radium or in any other way
living organisms capable Of multiply
ing either by repeated subdivision or
by means Of spores or capable Of pro-
ducing definite fermentive changes
such as those which we associate with
SO many Of the organisms hitherto in
vestigated? The answer jumps straight
to the lips. No such discovery has been
recorded nor has anything been OBJ
served which would justify US in sup
posing that we are on the verge Of
making such discovery at the present
moment.
The fact is that though much has
been written and among other things
quite big book, very little has really
been accomplished up to the present.
A few preliminary experiments sug-
gested by the marvellous qualities Of
radium have been made, and that is
all. Those experiments and their re-
suits, which are not at all revolution
airy, may be described in half dozen
sentences. Mr.. Burke finds that when
small quantities Of radium bromide or
chloride are scattered on the surface Of
carefully sterilized bouillon we'll pro-
tected from the air in closed vessels
minute objects appear in the bouillon
after one or two days.
These objects have been watched,
and Mr.. Burke reports that after their
first appearance they develop into two
dots, next present the appearance Of
dumbbells and subsequently Of bis
cults, afterward take on forms which
remind an observer Of frogs spawn
and finally divide, lose their Individual
ity and become transformed into mi
mute crystals.
These bodies, which Mr.. Burke very
prematurely describes as cultures" do
not multiply, as living organisms
should do, when they are transferred
to fresh tubes of sterilized bouillon,
though, as might be expected, they
give some slight evidence that the &C.
tivity Of the radium salt is not quite
exhausted by it's first action, and they
are soluble in water.
Now, it would be dogmatic to say
that radium will not generate life in
organic matter, but clearly Mr.. Burke
gives us little or no reason to suspect
that it does so at present. -Cornhill

It appears from the papers that have
come into this Office during the cam
paign that has closed, that there is no
longer any such a thing as a party
paper, that all papers have their price
and any man of any party, who has
the money can buy his way into prom
inence and the man who has not, how
ever good or how we'll qualified for the
Office, can appeal in vain to his So
called party paper. It is a condition
that confronts party organization and
makes it possible for money to con-
troll the elections, subsidize the press
and annul entirely the good that was
intended when the primary election

talents measured by those who expect

little.
Youth opens the door to young man
hood and there is but crust for him
to enjoy, and in the battered garments
of service young manhood comes to
the door when age knocks, and bids
him enter howell of dispair. I am
convinced that within the confines of
the editorial field. especially that of
the country weekly, there is nothing
but unfulflled ambition and the ashes
of disappointed hope. This may be
and probably is true because I am un-
fitted for the place, which, if it is the
case, only emphasizes the fact that
many others are equally unqualified.
Newspaper business is pleasant and
agreeable, and the editors who are en-
gagged in it, especially they who have
education sufficient to lift them above
the ignorant jealousies that mar and
disfgure their natures, are fine set
of fellows; generous to fault; devot-
ing more time and money to the in
terests of the place in which they exist
than any other one or more factors;
but too often when there are no paper
in place they are sought after and
when they are secured it is only a
question of time until they are con-
demned. It is the only business that
is everybody's business and the only
business that other people think they
know better how to run than does the
editor, but with all it has it's pleasant
side and it is my hope that this plea
SAINT side may ever be uppermost in the
lives of those who may read this tri-
butte to the profession.

The uncalled for knocks in the News

ference to Albert Steinhauser and his
ambition to be elected to the Office of
judge, simply shows how utterly i'm
possible it is for either of the editors
of those papers to rise above their mar
row world. Both of the papers con-
denim Mr.. Steinhauser on the ground
of incompetency and they form their
ideas of the qualifications of judge
by what they think they know, and as
sune that to be entitled to aspire to an
office of this kind it is necessary to
first have their endorsement. The OPP
ponents of Mr.. Steinhauser have both
said that he was eminently qualified
for the Office. other attorneys, whose
judgment in such matters is eminently
superior to that of either of the edi-
tors of the above papers, have spoken
of him as being an excellent judge of
| law, and yet it remained for these two
unfortuna ate creatures of circumstan-
ces, who in some manner have escaped
from their proper environments and
presuming on the good nature of the
people Of this community have been
permitted to conduct country news
paper, to rise up in their ignorance
and proclaim him unfit for the office.
