Of 1906 Very much the same report Is

also to be noted that high price OF ma

OF less activity In building at a number

over last year and 1S.S per cent over the
corresponding week of 1905. both record

cover the last week Of June, which is
always a quiet week in business. and
TINS year is no exception. There are still
good gains at Pittsburg. and most of the
western cities. notably Chicago. Cincin-
nat, St Louis and Kansas City The
loss at New York, Boston and Philadel-
phla reflects almost entirely the extreme
dulness in security trading at those
cities and the relatively low range of
values this year compared with both
preceding years, and this condition alone
reduces the average daily figures for
June under last year, the same as II has
in preceding months this year; emitting
New York city. where the loss has been
almost constant this year on account of
this large reduction in security trading

AhERICAN-JAP WAR
THOUGHT PROBABLE

BERLIN, June pat an informal
discussion In the Navy Club the other
night, when several prominent officers
were present. the Japanese-American
controversy was debated, and the con-
sensus of opinion was that not only is
war between the two countries inev-
liable. but that the japanese want it
and want IL SOON They will, however,
want TO pick their own time to begin.
The fact that they have secured an
entrance to the French money market
is thought to be one of the first adroit
moves of the japanese, who are well
aware of the immense wealth of
America.
Most Of the officers present agreed
that war between America and japan.
two hitherto unconquersd nations. would
be very interesting, and Il was said hy
a prominent naval critic that the out
% be satisfactory, no mat
ter which country was defeated, as
either nation was in the need of having
some Of the conceit beaten out
It Is safe to say. however, that should
the war come, German sympathy would
be with the Americans. as representa-
tives of the white race.

.GERMANY'S POPULATION
FRANCES BIG BUGDEAR

PARIS. June 29.-Ths great bugboar
Of the French nation is the fear that
while the population of France has been
steadily decreasing. that of Germany
has been increasingly marching in the
opposite direction.
1t has even been peszimistically stated
that IN thirty years time the German
Empire will be peopled by three times
the number of French. But the latest
statistics published recently on the sub
Ject have greatly treasured France. In
1850 the births per 1000 married women
in Berlin was 2O6s; in 1876. the number
OF births reached it's maximum for the
whole of the last century-24O.3. Since
mis- time the number Of births have dim
in'shed. and in these proportions: In
1876 there were 240.5 children Der 1000
married women; in 1876, 2247: in 1855.
l1S.4; in 1895. 1855. and in 1905. 1897
In thirty years, therefore. the pro-
portion of births has diminished 81 per
cent Although these figures represent
only the population of Berlin. and not
the whole of Germany. France Is jubi-
liant, recalling the fact that What IS
today true of the large towns will To-
morrow be true of the small towns and
villages"

enacted recently IN the Paris courts.

VIENNA, June 29-It is announced
from Constantinople that the three eld-

betrothed to three high officials of the
court. and that in a few weeks time
there will be a triple wedding at the
Yildiz Kiosk.
The three princesses bear the names
of Malta, Maine, and Aisoha, respect
lively. and the two first named have both
been married before.
