THE NATIONAL TAILOR.
Also Dressmaker - Also Haberdasher
New York Is Al! Three.

The interesting fact has been
brought to light that the most i'm
portant industry in the State OF New
York Is the making of women's
clothes. Until recently the making OF
mems clothes had the leading posi-
ton. but dressmaking has moved to
the top.
The output of these two industries
during the past year was valued at
$340, 900. 900. which is within S25, 900, 900
of the total value OF all the products
of the steel works and rolling mills
of Pennsylvania.
Nearly $4,000 people live upon the
making of women's clothing and 5S.-
600 more are engaged in making
clothes for men. Out OF every hun
dred people who work in the industri-
al pursuits of New York State fifteen
are engaged in making clothes for
men and women. Nearly s62,0JU,vov
was paid out to these workers in one
year.
New York is the national dress
maker, tailor and haberdasher. Out
of every 500 worth of clothing made
for women in one year this state pro-
duced $40 worth. In collars and cuffs
for men New York manufactured near
ly 81 per cent. OF the entire output
of the nation.
1T may be noted" says The Worlds
Work, that the value OF mems fur
nishings has fallen behind, as COM
pared with 1900. Ii leads to a suspic-
ion that mere man. II married. Is

IN BETTER SHAPE
Was Wheat Market Yesterday--corn
Closed Strong After Early I'm
Ioading--Oats Quiet.

Chicago, Sept 12.-WHEAT.-The
session was just the reverse Of yes,
lterday prices gaining about IA cents
on crop advices from the Canadian
northwest The firm start reflected
the indifference at Liverpool to the
slump here and, technically the mar
ket was in better snaps to respond
to the bullish news after yesterdays
shake-out. Winnipeg led from the
start and was unaffected by the de-
cline here shortly after the opening.
The news from the northwestern
! provinces is almost sensational. Frost
was apparently general last night and
snow is officially reported today with
strong probability Of frost tonight,
Many of the dispatches come from
interests of unquestioned integrity.
There is every appearance of a short
crop across the line, but the extent
of the damage is impossible to aceu-
rately estimate at this time. Thresh-
ing returns from our own spring
wheat belt show no Improvement.
Yields below expectation seem to be
general. The relative eheapness OF
our No. 2 red Is not generally APP
preciated. 1t can be laid down abroad
S to 10 cents a bushel cheaper than
either Manitobas or Duluths, and II
would be but natural for Europe to
take it at the difference. Liverpool

Continental markets were generally
lower. Local receipts 140 cars with
i65 expected tomorrow. Northwest
ern arrivals 303 cars or less than
half of last season. Total primary
receipts shade more than year
ago at $4,000 Argentine shipments
estimated for week 100000.
CORN The failure of the private
forecasts for frost to make good
caused general local unloading OF

IMMENSE SEA RATS.
Piles Of Timber Shaped Like q Cigar
and az Big as an Ocean Steamer.

~ - ~ - =" ~S~~' SsS~'"S'.
Sea RATS, which are peculiar to
the Pacific Ocean. are made OF tim

are shaped like cigar and are Of
enormous size.
The timber is cut In Washington
and Oregon, and until recently was
shipped 10 central and southern Cali
fornla in sailing vessels and steam
barges. The expense and the limited
capacity OF these vessels led to the
designing OF the sea RATS.
While they are OF different sizes
the smallest usually contains at least
5000 pieces of timber, ranging from
50 to 100 feet in length and from s
inches to nearly 2 feet in diameter
at the butt. Consequently some OF
the RATS made In this peculiar FASH
ion are nearly as long as the largest
transatlantic liners. measuring no
less than $50 feet from end to end
So compactly are the poles arrang-
ed, says writer In the Southwest.
that the greatest diameter is not
more than 60 feet but the enormous
weight Of the wood forces raft down
In the water until the highest portion
is rarely more than ten feet above
the surface.
To fasten such raft SO that II will
withstand the force OF the seas to
which 1t Is exposed no little engineer
ing skill is required. As the cigar
shape offers less resistance to the
force of the waves than any other
this has been adopted.
To move this unwieldly bulk two
powerful steamers are usualy en-
ployed at sea, one for pulling directly
ahead and the other to aid in keep
ing the raft in the right course, es-
pecially in rough weather. But a
comparatively small portion of the
surface Is exposed to the seas. Other
wise it would be Impossible to trans
port the timber In this form.
On the other hand the depth in the
water allows only a very slow rate
of speed to be maintained. The av-
erage rate of speed between the
Columbia River and San Francisco
for example, ESQ miles, Is from ten to
fifteen days, according to the wealth
err.
The Columbia River RATS are put
together at town called Stella,
which is located In the lumber country
about forty miles from the mouth OF
the river. These RATS are the larg-
est which have yet been transport
ed down the Coast.
One which was sent to San Fran
cisco contained no less than SOC, 900
linear feet of lumber to be used for
wharf piling. II the piles which is
contained were stretched In a row
they would actually extend a dis
lance Of nearly fifteen miles.
The majority of these rats have
been safely taken to their destina-
ti0ns, although one or two nave gone
to pieces. Where such accidents have
occurred the mass Of timber has COW
cred the ocean for a distance OF many
miles and has formed very danger
ous menace to navigation.

Dear SIT 90 not tnInK that you are

wish to set you right on that question
Your information no doubt came through
my cousin. Mr. Gaines Greene. who WIS.,
tied us last winter. Whilst here he was
laughing at me about Mr.. Lincoln and
among other things. spoke about the CIR
cumstance In connection with Mrs. Greene
and child. My impression Is now that
tacitly admitted II. for It was a season of
trouble with me. and I gave but little
heed to the matter. We never had any
hard feelings toward each other that !

lacking In smaller attentions. one cir
cumstance presents itself Just now TO my
minds eye. There was company OF US
going to Uncle Billy Greenes Mr.. Lin
coin was riding with me. and we had n
very bad branch to cross. The other gem
tlemen were very ofiicious In seeing that
their partners got over safely. We were
behind, he riding In, never looking back
to see how got along. When l rode up
beside him remarked: you are nice
fellow! suppose you did not care wheth-
err my neck was broken or not" lie
laughingly replied l suppose by way OF
compliment that ne knew l was plenty
smart to take caro- of myself.
In many things he was sensitive almost

that he was crossing a prairie one day

After he had gone by, he said. the feeling
was irresistible, and he had to look back,
and the poor thing seemed to say visit
fully, There now my last hope is gomez
that he deliberately got down and relieved
II from Its difficulty.
In many things we were congenial splr-
It's. In politics we saw eye to eye. though
since then we differed as widely as the
south is from the north. But methinks
