Some time ago the postal depart

Of reducing the postage on letters be-

and accordingly began negotiations
with the postmaster general OF the
United States In reference to the mat.

general was adverse to the reduction,
and. for the present at least. the idea
Of making the change has been aband-
Oned.
I have stated more than once. In
these columns, that the crusade
against liquor has made great prog.
ress In Norway and Sweden. On ac-
count Of this, Norway has imported
less and less wine from France and
Spain, fact which has been noticed
In those wine producing countries
with anything hut satisfaction. In.
deed. SO nettlcd have the business In.
terests Of those nations become. that
they threaten to discontinue trade re-
lations with Norway. It Is reported
that already. by way of retaliation for
the slight to French wine, the bank
OF Norway has been refused q loan of
R0.0O0.000 crowns at Paris. Should
France and Spain make good their
threat. the effect on Norway's fish and
wood industries would be serious.
