FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW
DUN'S WEEKLY SUMMARY
Easier Money Market viii Probably
Lead to Placing of Postpon-
ed Contracts.

r. G. Dun G Company's weekly re-
view of trade says:
Sentiment has improved in re-
sponse to the brighter outlook, com.
mercial loans being made with more
freedom than at any recent date. AS
much projected business was held
back by inability to raise funds, the
easier money market encourages ex
pectation that postponed contracts
will now be placed
"The percentage of idle machinery
has perceptibly decreased. Iron and
steel revival occurred, out put of pig
iron at the beginning of this month
being smaller than at any time in
four years. This curtailment of out
put has maintained prices fairly
steady, the average now being high.
er than Oh July l, 1906.
Several contracts for structural
steel are under negotiation, but most
mills are idle pending the accumula
tion of more business. Thus far the
lower quotations for galvanized sheets
and tin plate have not stimulated
purchases.
Numerous railways are negotiating
for delivery of rails for the year 1908,
and this business should be placed
very soon.
although there Is no general ac
tlvity in the primary markets for
textiles, improvement is noticed in
many departments, especially as to
the number of inquiries. Buyers find
accommodation more readily granted
"No interest is manifested in the
export division of the cotton goods
industry. although advices from
China suggest that orders may soon
come from that nation. AS to wool
en- goods, the market for staple fab
ric has opened irregularly. On some
descriptions prices are slightly high
er. In no case is the change more
than 21b to 5 cents a yard. Stocks
are held at a low point by restrict
ing production to actual orders.

from Boston have fallen off notably

Mining Made Hazardous.

The deaths from mine disasters in
the United States for 1907 were 3,OS6.
The number of seriously injured was
2,721. Over one-fourth of this slaugh-
ter was accomplished last month. This
should serve to fix the attention of
assembling legislatures in the mining
States upon the necessity of more
thorough supervision. Comparison with
the loss of life in other countries
shows that mining in this country is
made extra hazardous by reason Of
gross neglect of suitable precaution.-

The Future and Sheep.

All who keep up with the trend of
the live stock industry agree that the
demand for sheep will go on increas-
ing for many years. In referring to
the matter the Shepherds Criterion
has this to say:
Farmers as a class do not yet un-
derstand sheep well enough to pro-
duce them successfully, though the
majority of them raise other things
that require more care and effort and
produce poorer results. While it is
true that many are going into sheep
for the first time, and hundreds have
been converted to the right way of
thinking, still, relatively speaking.
comparatively few of the small farm
ers carry sheep. 1t will take a long
time to educate some that sheep are
the best live stock they can raise
best for the land and for the bank
account. In the meantime mutton
consumption will continue to grow
very rapidly, and in our opinion the
time will be far distant when the sup
ply will again overtake the demand.
The great grazing areas of the West
so there cannot be much expansion in
that direction. The chief increase
must be on the Eastern farms. Here
the dog and the stomach worm have
to be contended with, and there are
at the present time very serious
handicaps to the small farmer. If
man can raise enough sheep to war
rant his special and constant and
special attention, then the dog nuis-
ance can be effectually eliminated,
but the stomach worm is an enemy
in the dark that cannot be easily con-
Quered. All things considered, it is
by no means likely that sheep hus-
bandry will advance fast enough to
make the business Improbable for
the next twenty years. AS long as
there is sensible protective tariff
on wool sheepmen will have strong
encouragement, but even if they had
to depend on mutton quality almost
entirely, they are now well enough
lOl IlilC0 W 81 duCdu Ou d pIOuldDl6
basis. 1t is estimated that fifty per
cent. more mutton is consumed in
this country than twenty years ago.
The annual receipts at Chicago are
more than million more than in
1897, while there has been a corre-
spending increase at most of the
other Western markets. If under
these circumstances mutton can be
sold at a record price, then it follows
that it has strong grip on the Amer
lean appetite, which is bound to en-
dure. The slaughter of sheep and
lambs, particularly lambs, is going on
so rapidly that producers are now
much behind the requirements, and
that is why prices are SO high. Chi
cago for the first nine months this
year falls 100000 head short of last
year, in spite of the fact that more
people have gone into the sheep busi-
ness. A supply of 100000 sheep
is not large enough for country
with over S0,O00,0OO people. with a
million foreigners landed every year.

LYDIA E. PINKHAM

Nature and woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia e. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious thanany combination ofdrugs.
Lydia +. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. St.,
Louisiana, Mo, writes:
Complete restoration to health
means so much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women / am willing
to make my troubles public
"For twelve years | had been suffer-
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time / had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered, and at times
could hardly walk. About two years
ago | wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
1 followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. 1t is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
it will do for other suffering women.

Keen a Few Sheep,

Professor +. B. Mumford, of Mis-
souri, experiment station. shows that
tests have proved that sheep produce
more meat from a pound of grain
than any other farm animal. 1t was
shown that a pound of mutton can be
produced from about half as much
grain as a pound of beef. Even the
mortgage lifting hog requires more
grain to produce pound of human
food than the sheep. With the conf
bination of corn and clover hay for
food and dry shed for shelter
sheep will always give good account
of themselves and respond readily
to the care given them.-Farmer's

Law Prohibiting Importation
To Become Effective in
a Few Days.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, Jan. 16.-Within a lit
tie over a months time the law pro-
hibiting the importation of opium into
the Philippine Islands will become eff
fective and In anticipation of that inn
portant event, there is much specula-
ton among the FiHpinos in regard to
the probable effect of the law. A large
quantity of opium is consumed in the
islands mainly by the Chinese ele-
ment. but the baneful habit of opium
smoking has been rapidly extending
among the native Filipinos and even
among the Americans.
Congress has passed an act intend
ed to correct the evil, but there is
great doubt regarding the ability of
the confirmed opium user to abandon
the drug, and considerable agitation
has been taking place in the Philip
pines with the object of securing an
extension OF the time permitted for
the stoppase of the traffic. To prevent
any misunderstanding on the subject.
John s. Hord. the collector OF internal
revenue of the islands. has addressed
letter to the provisional treasures
and other citizens of the Philippines
dealing with the subject. He says ne
feels certain that Congress vii not ex-
tend the time beyond some date in
March, and asks for the cooperation
of all citizens to prevent the Illegal inn
portation of the drug.
