The condition of the National
Treasury at the end of this month,
which is also the end of the fiscal
year, will be very much better than
was estimated by Secretary Mac
Veagh in his annual report to Cong
ress last December. Not only have
the receipts been heavier than he
expected but the economies Of the
Administration have resulted in con
siderably reduced disbursements.
Instead of a deficit Of s34,OOO.OOO
predicted by the Secretary. IN the
ordinary receipts and disbursements
there will be. in all probability. a
surplus Of five or six millions. II
the extraordinary expenses Of the
Panama Canal and redemption Of the
public debt are taken into account
the deficit for the year will be only

Washington, June 26.-At last
the cry of the housewife has been
heard. The government has come to
her relief and has taken steps to see
that the prices of groceries shall be
lowered.
There has been much talk about
the higher cost of living, and no one
has appreciated it more than the
women who have noticed the light
ening of the pocketbooks and Of
their market baskets at the same
time.
1t is all very we'll for the men that
the government should pursue the
Tobacco Trust, the Standard Oil, the
Plate Glass, the Plumbers, and all
the other trusts but these things in
-terest the women but little, when
they see the prices of practically
everything they want on their break
fast and dinner tables steadily
climbing higher and getting out of
reach.
So now the Southern Grocery
Trust has been brought to account
and its officers are to be forced to
explain the reason for the high
prices which it is alleged their COM
bination has maintained. 1t is be-
= lieved that the effect of the action
will be felt by other sections and will
result in restricting the activity IF
other sections and will result in re-
'stricting the activity of other similar
organizations.
Besides appealing to the court to
dissolve the Association itself and
declare it illegal the government
asks that every one of its 500 men,
bers or more be forever prohibited
from entering into any agreement
among themselves as to the prices at
which they should sell the necessi-
ties of life. The officers of the asso-
citation who are to be brought into
court at Birmingham, Alabama, are:
President Jos. H. McLaurin, of
Florida; President L. M. Hoop
er, of Alabama Second Vice-Presi-
dent f. e. Hashagen, of North Caro-
lima; Treasurer c. w. Bartleson, of
Florida, and Secretary Robert Moore,
of Alabama, together with nine
others constituting the advisory
board. Officers of two big grocery
concerns in Birmingham are also to
be hauled to the bar.
They are alleged to be wholesale
grocers dealing in interstate COM
merce in sugar, flour, cakes and
crackers, soap and washing powders,
cereals, soda and baking powders,
salt milk products, canned goods,
sirups and other necessities of life.
They are charged with being engaged
in a conspiracy to maintain prices.
1t is alleged that hundreds of thous-
-ands of dollars have been distributed
to members of the association by its
Officers as a reward for maintaining
prices and other sums have been as
sessed as fines and penalties for
uD ierselling the price list.
The Association is a close corpor-
alton and no outsider could get in
without the consent of the other
members.

The Department of Agriculture has
just issued a Farmers BulletiR
booming Bee culture. There is
money in bee keeping if it is man
aged right, according to the Bulletin,
and the purpose of the publication
is to give briefly the information
needed by persons engaged in the
industry.
Bee keeping is being carried on
with both pleasure and profit by
many thousands or persons in all
parts of the United States, and while
as rule it is not the sole occupation
of those who pursue it, there are
many places where an experienced
bee keeper can make a good living
by devoting his entire time and at
tention to this line of work.
The average annual yield per
colony for the entire country should
be from 25 to 80 pounds of comb
honey or 40 to so pounds of ex-
tracted honey. The money return to
be obtained from this crop depends
entirely upon the market and the
methods of selling the honey. If sold
directly to the consumer, extracted
honey brings from 10 to 20 cents
per pound, and comb honey from 10
to 25 cents per section. If sold to
dealers the price varies from to
10 cents for extracted honey and
from 10 to 15 cents for comb honey.
From the gross Tecenpts must be de-
Quoted from SO cents to one dollar
per colony for the expense other
than labor, including foundation,
sections, occasional new frames and
hives, and other incidentals, not,
however, providing for increases.
These figures are based on a sys-
tenn of good management. Bee keep
ing to be profitable requires hard
work. knowledge and experience.
Much study, according to the bulle-
tin, is required to insure success. 1t
is unwise, therefore for the individ-
nal to undertake extensive bee keep
ing without considerable previous
experience on a small scale, since
there are so many details which go
to make up success in the work.
Learn the ways of the bees, says the
Department, how to handle them,
and what kind of equipment is best.
Then begin on small scale, make
the bees pay for themselves and for
all additional apparatus, as well as
some profit, and let the business
grow gradually.

F. d. Lackey and Company state
to-day:
There is very little to say about the
New York stock market except that
II is duh and likely to remain so for
some little time 10 come, and from the
buying absorption during the past
week, it would seem that purchases
made on recessions would prove profit
able in the near future. The engage
ment OF gold for export did not have
the depressing fleet anticipated by the
bear traders. but il is generally believed
the downward movement of the mar
ket recently fully discounted nearly
every unfayorable feature. The Phil
adelphia market is very dull in sym
pathy with that Of New York and net
changes from yesterday are very
small.
c. 1. Hudson and Company stated this
morning:
THE bituminous strike is expected
to be over soon and labor troubles in
general are rapidly clearing up. Crop
news will soon be paramount. The
precipitation that has occurred this
week partly broke the western drought.
There is still chance for much rainfall

YOU MUST FIGHT. coy.

After all is said. my son, success in
this world is matter of hard fighting.
II there is In you no JOY Of fight,
no love for a scrimmage. you are not

OF course ] do not mean fighting
men physically. That is poor busi-
ness.
moan you must have a real thrill
in attacking and overcoming things
that get into your way. joy in jump
ing over barriers.
Where shall fall in?" said the
new recruit to the fighting colonel.
Like a fash was the response: Fall
in anywhere. The lighting is good all
along the line"
And so 1t is Of life-the lighting is
good anywhere along the line.
There's heat and cold to fight.
And your own laziness.
And your ignorance Of real life.
And ignorance Of yourself.
oh, there are plenty Of foes to fightl
The knights Of old had no more of
it than you will have when you get
into the battle line and go up against
the things outside Of yourself and in
side Of yourself.
And II you have formed the bad
habit. even in boyhood, Of lodging
all the hard blows that fall you will
not fight the good fight
The fighter is made by fighting.
The bigger the obstacle In his front
the heavier the task put upon him.
the greater the emergency looms. the

There's a stimulus in opposition.
A child may play all day long with
the big Maxim shells and roll them
about as he pleases. There is no dan

shells must so against something

NEW YORK STOCK MARKETS.

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK. April 5.-Substantial
gains were made in nearly everything
traded in at the opening OF the stock
market Most of the important issues
followed the London lead cables report
ing Americans at a higher range. Union
but in nearly all other instances the ad-
vances were fractional. At the end OF
the fifteen minutes the tone still held
strong.
Ii o'cloch-The strong tone displayed at
the opening was maintained throughout
the first hour there being important buy
ing. especially in Steel Common. The be-
lief that a good government crop report
was coming also proved a strong bull ar
gument.
Governments unchanged; others dull.
