COAL TRADE REVIEW.
CONDITIONS or BUSINESS As
POINTED OUT BY LEADING
TRADE JOURNAL.

Chicago, July 21.-Dullness and de-
moralization continue to be the two
words best characterizing the western
coal trade. Dizziness pervades the
trade in all kinds of coal with the ex-
ception of very few grades. Demon
alization in prices has firm grip on
western Goals. The market for Illinois
coal in particular has never been in
worse shape and for such protracted
period, and many say that the limit OF
all past experiences has been exceed
ed. 1t is more than difficult to deter
mine with any accuracy what the pre-
vailing prices are. There is so much
car-service coal available, which is be-
ing sold at almost any price offered,
that one sale is scarcely any indica-
ton of what the next one will be.
Screenings have been most in de-
mand and have held up most consist
emily in price, but tn.s has been true
largely because the majority of the
mines are producing on run-or-mIne
basis, thereby curtailing the relative
supply of screenings. This benefit
has not extended to other sizes which
are a drug on the market in common
with mine run. All these are selling
at prices for below the actual cost of
production, condition which, if pro-
tracted, must lead to ruin for the weak
and embarrassment for the strong.
Operators are reluctant to shut down
their mines for fear the miners will
drift away and it be impossible to Sc
cure men when demand strengthens
and prices improve. But it is coming
to be serious question for some
whether this danger is not decidedly
the less of the two evils.

reer as an errand boy in the grocery
store of his brother Henry in Troy.
At the age of twenty-five he establish
ed a wholesale grocery of his own In
that place.
In 1857 the young merchant had ac-
quired fortune estimated at almost
$4,000, a vast amount Tor those days,
and determined to retire from actual
business life. He had, however, al.
ready become interested in railroads,
his first loan to the La Crosse Rail
road Company, which led to further
transactions resulting in his acquir.
ing large interests in the roads now
forming the Chicago, Milwaukee e St.
Paul system, of which he became vice
president. This determined Mr.. Sage
to devote his future energies to oper-
ations in Wall street and in 1868 he
opened his first office in New York.
About this time he formed an asso-
citation with Jay Gould, which contin-
ued for many years. About 1872 Mr.
Sage originated the system of trading
in puts" "calls," and "straddles," in
which he continued to deal thereafter
on a colossal scale. While he pur-
chased a seat on the New York stock
exchange in 1874, it is believed that
he never appeared on the floor of The
exchange.
At the time of his death, Mr.. Sage
was an officer and director in twenty
five great railway and telegraph cor
porations.

JUST LIKE 4 TRAMP.
Little Dog Takes Ride On Brake
Beam of Train,

An incident came under the notice
of w. A. Mcneil while on a recent
trip to the northwest that is quite
unusual A family consisting Of the
father, mother and several children
were at the depot waiting to take the
train. A small dog followed, but
when the children attempted to get
the little fellow to board the train,
His Dogship rebelled, nor could any OF
the members of the family coax the
canine to come on the car.
The conductor good-naturedly per
mitted few moments delay while the
children tried to catch their pet. He
finally ordered the family aboard and
the train moved off. Mr.. McNeill no
ticed one of the boys clinging to the
steps of the coach as the train pro-
crossed, and every now and then the
boy would peer beneaLh the coach
When the train stopped at the next
station the lad jumped off the steps,
ran beneath the coach and appeared
with his dog. The little fellow had
jumped upon the break.beam Of the
coach as the train had moved on its
journey and had been contentedly rid
ing on the break-beam. He was unin
jured and apparently undisturbed
when taken from his perilous perch.

NOT WANTED IN IOWA.
BIG FAMILY OF DESTITUTE EMIL
GRANTS ARE SENT BACK
TO ENGLAND.

Eldora, Ia, July 21.-Henry H. Mo
Ter Of st. Louis, who is the special in
spector of the UnIted States immigra-
ton department, has just finished an
important investigation at Alden in
this county. James Talon arrived at
Alden from England a few months
ago, and with Talon were six chill
dren. The old gentleman is 76 years
of age, and by reason of his physical
infrmities he is unable to earn a liv-
ing.
The law passed by congress in 1908
is very strict in prohibiting immigra-
ton of the dependent classes, and the
inspector is made sheriff, Judge, jury,
court reporter and bailiff at the trial
of case of this nature, and it did not
take Inspector Moler very long at AL
den to satisfy himself that the only
thing to be done was to have Talon
and his three minor children all de-
ported at once to the land of King
Edward.
Telegraphic report was maze to
Washington by the inspector and in
structions were at once wired to take
the four to New York and deliver them
to the agents of the White Star line
of ocean steamers. That company is
compelled to transport them back to
England free of charge, as well as
pay half the expense that Mr.. Talon
was to in coming to Hardin county and
going back to New York City. O..
