a bust of the president and the other
was full length group picture of the

The Post Card "Craze.
the New Orleans Times-Democrat.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat
German manufacturers Of souvenir post
cards assembled in Berlin last week to
discuss the general state of their trade
The consensus of opinion among the dele
gates to the conference, according to the
reports. was that the post card industry
has seen its best days. The decline was
attributed principally to the slump in the
American demand. Not many months ago
German manufacturers were shipping mil
lions of cards into this country Now 1t
is stated. they are glad to receive Amer
lean orders for as many thousands. The
nope was expressed that another fad
might be speedily introduced which would
prove as profitable as the post card fad.
On the day of the Berlin meeting it was
announced that the Brooklyn post office
and it's substations were choked with mil
lions of holiday post cards. which would
have to be laid aside temporarily to facili-
tate the delivery of letters and packages
In the main office alone there were said
to be 1000 900 cards
The story of Brooklyn's congested mail
apparently negatives the gloomy predic-
ticn of the Berlin conference regarding
the decline of the American post card de-
mand. Yet the German manufacturers,
baslng their opinions upon their own bust
ness experience. are probably right in the
main. The post card "Taze'' is waning,
perhaps more slowly in this country than
the Germans believe, for the reason that
American manufacturers have entered the
business on very large scale but never
theless surely. The slow sale of the afro
cious 'comics.' with their progressive
cheapening in retail price, is one of the
surest indications of the decline as their
evanescent popularity not so long ago was
one of the surest symptoms that the post
card habit had become craze" An in
telligent and discriminating public, unless
suffering from mild form of mental
trouble. could hardly have been induced
to purchase in carload lots either the
hopelessly inane Comics the silly senti-
mentals or the disgustingly vulgar cards
which enjoyed brief vogue some months
ago. Manufacturers who catered to this
distorted popular taste destroyed, as they
deserved to destroy. their own occupation.

wick passes up through this tube and

When the wick takes fire the flame COM
pletely seals the opening through which
the wick passes. The heat Immediately

Saving to the Railroads.


1t might have been the case whether
1t was or not that the reason for the
strength thus shown in the standard rail-

that a reduction in the price of iron

saving to the railway companies of the

1t was the practically universal onipion
In the financial district today that the
statement of Mr.. Gary that was NOT
read Dy most people until this morning
was an accurate and fair disclosure of the
factS concerning the present exigency in
the steel trade. The action Of the steel
corporation in using its influence to hold
prices steady following the panic of 1907
mas received the warm commentator of
all business men and financial observers
whose experience has been such as to
make them realize the unwisdom OF
smashing prices with consequent ruin of
customers In the days Immediately fol-
lowing time of financial panic Such

not the slightest doubt that had it not
been for the new tariff laws now in the
making a broad cut in iron and steel
prices would have been ordered before
this in order to meet the natural demands
of consumers 1t was the hope of the
steel corporation that the producers of
steel generally throughout the country
would be content to follow the CORPORA

tarir laws were enacted. when the long
expected reduction in prices might take

Not Expected to Last Long.

But developments came crowding fast
upon each other in the course of The
present week. and 1t was found impossible
to keep the small iron and steel producers
In line. There was a consensus, too. to-
day In the higher financial and banking
circles that all indications favored the
probability that the so-called "open mar
ket' for iron and steel products now
established will not last for long. 1t is
still to be remembered that the iron and
steel business is concentrated as 1t never
was before. and that nearly all of the
large interests in the trade are in accord
with the general views as to business
policy entertained by the management of
the United States Steel Corporation.
What has happened in Wall street and
in the trade this week cannot fail to have
tendency to shorten the time devoted to
the pending tariff discussion and to cause
the anxiously awaited new tariff enact
ments to be produced with as much speed
as possible. The reasonable expectation
is. of course. that at least no greater cut
in iron and steel duties will be ordered
by Congress than those first reported by
the committee on ways and means in the
House of Representatives that is now at
work preparing the new tariff schedule

king exclaimed: Il really think if I had

Worst Soon Known.

In other words, the worst about the
matter will probably be known when the
committee brings in it's bill.
Indeed. there are many who think that
the cuts in iron and steel prices that have
already been made measure pretty nearly
the full effects upon list prices of the
completed, tariff revision program Mean
while. the January railroad earnings as
they are now reported. and the statistics
of the building and textile trade and of
pretty nearly all lines of business eycept
metals continue to exhibit improvement.
Money Is still cheap everywhere and
there are generally reassurng features in
the situation that must impress them
selves upon every candid and discerning
looker-on.
