Weekly Review Of Trade and Latest
Market Reports.

New York;. G. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review of trade says:
Trade returns are irregular, be-
cause of the erratic weather, unsea-
sonably high temperature restricting
sales OF heavyweight wearing APP
parel at some points. while business
is most satisfactory in colder sec
tions. Freight hlockades were re-
lleved to some extent, but there is
still much complaint of tardy deliv-
cries. Mercantile collections are also
more prompt in some sections than
others, but there is unanimity re-
garding the large amount of forward
business on the books of manufactur-
ing plants and general confidence in
The future. Building operations
have been greatly facilitated in the
East by open weather maintaining
activity in markets for materials be-
yond the customary date Prices of
all commodities declined almost /
per cent. during December.
Demand for cotton goods in the
primary markets is somewhat less
urgent, but there is no prospect for

the books of the mills. Mills are
making good profits on present busi-

dividends were irregular, and the in
lustry is now in most satisfactory
position. Improvement is noted in
woolen goods, considerable business
being accomplished in the mems

only fairly started. and it is not yet
possible to ascertain the exact status

Cod PulIs Angler oyerboard.

Excited at the extraordinary size
of a big Goldfish that he found on
the end of his line, while fishing
from the steamboat Angler, several
miles off Sandy Hook. Frank Schabo-
lowisky fell overheard into 10 faith
oms of water. Schabolowisky fished
from the stern of the steamboat and
had had good success, having a large
pile of cod and hake heaped up
beside him. Suddenly he felt
mighty tug at the line, and he pull
ed with all his might. There emerg-
ed from the waves the nose of
cod, a colossal cod, a regular whale
of a cod, the great grandfather of
ALL the rest on the bank Anyway,
the sight so astonished him. and an
inopportune lurch of the boat per-
haps helped, that he fell overheard
cod, line and all--into the water.
Other anglers set up shout, the
crew threw out O life-preserver
which he. caught, and then hauled
him aboard and he was taken to
Bellevue Hospital. "Oh, oh, such
a big one he was, Never was there
a Goldfish like him before. And
lost him." he said.

Concrete Telephone Poles.

The first concrete telephone poles
ever manufactured in Indiana were
made recently by the Richmond
Home Telephone Company and are
now being erected to test their eff
ficiency. The post was designed by
Superintendent Bailey. A skeleton
framework of four corrugated iron
rods is covered with ordinary con-
crete. the material being "slushed"
about the framework while inclosed
in boxlike mold The pole is oc-
tagonal in shape, 80 feet long and
provided with mortises for cross
arms, which are fastened in place
by means of iron bolts, and also
mortises to be used by linemen in
climbing. The pole is as ornamental
as pine poles and has the additional
virtue of being symmetrcally tapered
and straight. superintendent Bailey
say that the strongest point in favor
of concrete poles is their durability.
Wooden poles must be replaced by
new ones about every six years-the
dryer the soil the longer the life of
the pole. The concrete poles. it is
declared, will be lasting, as soil con-
ditions do not affect them. Mr..
Bailey says the cost will also be less
than pine poles. The manufacture
of each pole can he carried on along
the line where it is to be installed or
planted
Should the experiment prove sue
cessful this telephone company, as
well as many other companies, will
substitute them for pine poles for
all new work, as as fast as the wood
en- poles become unfit for service.

The biggest high-pressure pump
In the world is installed in the Dry
Diggings placer fields of Southern
Oregon, on Rogue River, and is used
to operate battery of hydraulic
monitors in the mines, writes Dennis
II. Stovall N the Technical World
Magazine for January. This pump
is one of the largest pieces of min
ing machinery ever manufactured,
and could never have been installed
but for the fact that It was dumped
directly from the cars to the foun-
dation prepared for It at the mines.
The pump was built by the Byron
Jackson Machine Works. of San
Francisco, and was one of the last
big jobs done by this company be-
fore the earthquake and Are. The
pump is of the five-step centrifugal
type, and its weighs. aside from
bearings and gears, just 10000
pounds. Other pumps have been
built that lift as great volume of
water as does this one, but they do
not deliver It under such enormous
pressure. This pump is tested to
withstand maximum pressure of
$50 pounds to the square inch. It's
capacity is 100000 gallons per
day of "a hours, or 5000 gallons
per minute. This enormous volume
is delivered through a half-mile of
pipe line, the pipe being of steel, %
inches in diameter. The water is
lifted to a height of 100 feet and
forced through two four-inch noz-
zles, hurting streams distance of
500 feet. These powerful streams
are played upon the mountain walls
to tear down the gold-bearing gravel

"Iife Is A Foolish Drcam.' =

A hunchback, painfully sensitive
to his deformity, but talented and
ambitious, found life a nightmare
and ended It. He was Albert Chit
tenden, an artist. His body was
found in his apartments, at 10 West
Twenty-ninth Street.
Life is a foolish dream. Ha, ha!
Such funny dream. But enough,
enough. ] am ready to awake to
something less ridiculous.
This valedictory, scribbled in pen.
Gil on slip of paper and pinned
to the wall, was the bitter adver-
tisement to the world of the convic.
ton which prompted the deed.
Carefully planned two years ago
and developed to it's minutest detail.
Chittenden ordered his own death
in the way he had chosen. Every
chance of outside interference has
been eliminated.
But Chittenden plainly left the
story of his heartache on the walls
of his rooms; they were covered with
pictures and sketches. all of beauti-
full women. Most of these were his
own handiwork; some were simply
rought, unfinished sketches. He had
indulged his love of the beautiful to
seek an artificial interest in life.
A faded, long-stemmed rose, pre-
served for years, was pinned over
his heart, where he had placed 1t
before he lay down to die. 1t rep
resented what was lost out of the
deformed mans life. 1t seemed to
speak of love and companionship.
But it spoke, of years ago. Chit
tenden had avoided women in the
latter years of his life. His sensi-
tiveness over his deformity has APP
parently been of steady growth
