Weekly Review Of Trade says:
Gradual Improvement in the com
mercial situation is encouraging, al
though the volume of trade has not
expanded in proportion to the growth
of confidence. Resumption of work at
manufacturing plants is the best evi-
dence OF progress, the number of
unemployed steadily, though Slowly,

adverse influence at several points

Steel mills have more business in
sight, although it is believed that many
large undertakings will not be closed
until after the election. Plans arc
numerous, however, and much of the
contemplated work viii materialize. A
current factor of value is the increased
demand by railways for both rolling

Staggering Losses by Fire.

The totals of fire loss in this coun,
try may signify little to the average
mind but the comparative figures
should mean much. The figures is.
sued by the national board of fire un-
derwriters show that the average fire
loss per capita in the United States
for the last five years was $500,
against 33 cents for six European
countries, including France, Germany
and Austria. 1t may be objected per
haps that it is unfair to select this
particular period for purposes of com
parison, since both the Baltimore fire
of 1904 and the San Francisco fire of
1906 are included in it. And yet, says
the New York Globe. if these two fires
representing about $350000,000, were
deducted from the total fire loss of the
country for the five years-which is es.
timated at $1,257,716,9 ,955-the total
would be reduced by but little over
fourth. And the American per
capita loss would remain about 6b
times larger than the European. What
is to blame for this great disparity?
Are we so much more careless than
Europeans? Are European building
codes, fire departments and water sup
plies from 6l2 to 10 times better than
those found in the United States?

improving the Farmers Life.

In The earlier years of agricultural

farm work changed the views of the
farmers, who then more generally sent
their sons to agricultural colleges.
Even then for time many of the
farmers sons after finishing their
studies went as before to the towns
to seek careers instead of returning
TO the farm. Now, however, declares
the New York Sun, not only do the
farmers sons return from the agri-
cultural college to the farm, but town
boys influenced by the spread of in
formation as to the attractive profits
OF agriculture earned by those who
farm scientifically, go to the farm
from college instead of returning to
