BUSINESS MOVES
QUITE CAUTIOUSLY.

New York, Nov. 25.-R. G. Dunn &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade tomor-
row will say:
BUSINESS moves along lines of safety,
the absence of speculation making the
situation appear duller than 1t actual-
~ is. The volume of transactions, al
though by no means rs large as 1t
might be II expanded to full speed
limits. is nevertheless sufficiently large
to keep the great body of workmen oc-
cupied, SO that the average OF prosper
ity'is fair.
That the mass of people still have
spending power Is evidenced by the
hopeful anticipations concerning the
holiday trade now opening. Buying of
equipment by the railroads develops
slowly. yet considerable new business
is in sight and II more hopeful feeling
prevails In iron and steel.
In structural lines, prospects are
considered better, as certain railroads
are planning new bridge work. while
proposed municipal subway construc-
ton will result in a considerable de-
mand for material.
The primary cotton goods markets
are quiet. but the high costs Of produce
ton tend to hold prices firm. A few
inquiries from China are still in mar
ket for three-yard sheetings on the
basis of IA
Trade in staple prints IS fair: bleach
ed goods are quiet and firm: ginghams
hold steady, and the leading duck mills
have secured more business than for
year
In woolens and worsteds the demand
for spot shipments of overcoatings is
good in some quarters. but su!tngs
are quiet and there is complaint Of the
effect of strikes in the west which
cause cancellations.
New business in footwear Is small
and trade continues quiet. but good
indication for the future is the greater
activity of wholesalers in most parts
of the country. The leather markets
continue steady. hides show less activ-
ity for domestic than foreign varieties.

DRY CONCENTRATOR A SUCCESS.
An ore reduction process that will
enable the ores OF Austin. New. and
tributary mining fields to be treated at
a profit has been sought for many
years. The high grade of this camp
has made its record of E0,00o,0oo of
bullion production: but it is In the
saving of the values contained in the
ores that will not pay to ship, that the
future Importance lies.
This problem has been solved for
Austin by the Austin Manhattan Con-
solidated Mining company. The electro
static dry concentrating plant. which
has been in operation by this company
for a month. is a proven success. Con-
centrates worth s120 to $3.50 per ton
are being turned out with ! to con-
contraton.
The success OF this process is not
important alone to Austin. It Is .of
extreme Importance to the state of Ne

getting her jacket and hat she ran off down the big country road in quest of the last struggling sunfiowers that grew along the roadside.
 As she went along in the soft white dust, which lay very thick on the road. Bessie's eyes were attracted by some thing small and shining. She ran and picked 1t up. It was a brand new penny. Someone had evidently lost 1t on the road. Bessies eyes danced with pleasure at finding a coin-however small flor she had few toys and only occa- sionally did her mother have a penny to spare for her to spend as she wished to- Now she had n penny all her own. Or was It hers to keep? She'd best run home and ask her mamma what to do with the money. The owner of 1t might be Ill the neighborhood and call to claim
 But Bessie decided to gather sunfow- CTS first, and so put the penny in her apron pocket. Then she ran about pull ing the few hardy blossoms that had survived the frost. 'Ah, you dear vel low thing she cried Don't you wish you were little girl like me- and could find n penny in the road? I wonder if anyone will come to claim the pretty penny? If they do-well, 1t will be a good thing that l found 1t for Its owner. But If no one comes for 1t, I shall have 1t for my own, and shall keep 1t till Mamma gives me another one to put with 1t. Then I'll go to town with Papa and buy pretty toy with my two pen nieS."
 Thus planning Bessie gathered all the yellow heads she could find and hurried home with them. Running in to her mother, she cried, excitedly: Mamma, I found this-right in the middle of the big road Do you suppose the owner

would appear nestled on a stretch of prairie. Not that Robert was outside the vast city. but he was in a part of it that was not yet built up.
 After going a great distance and feeling very much afraid that he was lost, he stopped to make inquiry of man at a little shop door. He found that he was some three miles from home and one half mile from the lake. Being so strange in the city, 1t never occurred to Robert to inquire for the nearest street car going in the direction of his uncle's home. His first thought was to go direct to the lake and follow 1t to his uncle's house.
 Being a good walker Robert was soon on the shore of the lake, carrying his kite. He approached a small fishing shanty and asked of a rough old former seaman the way to his home, giving the address. .'Waal, lad, yer a long piece frum thar, but if you're so inclined you kin get aboard my little ship right thar and I'll take you over. I'm going in that di- rection, anyway, an would be glad of yer company"
 Roberts heart huttered. He looked with admiring eyes at the little ship" and beheld fine launch. "Oh, if I won't be troubling you, sir" he said, 'I'd just love to go along with you"

 So 1t was decided to ask Georgie Fern that day at school If he would be of their party to go Hallowe'ening. And George was very glad to accept the invitation, and said he'd be around at their house at exactly 8 o'clock. You see, he ex- plained, 'I want to get home by nine, for mamma never permits me to be out later than that"
 "Oh, we-Brother and I--can't stay out till nine," said Bessie exc1tedly. "Oh, such dreadful things might happen to us were we out later than half-past eight And on Hallowe'e en-oh, therere so many bad boys and-and- witches abroadw

 Well, you mustn't bet, my dear" said mamma, looking reprovingly at her young son, whose use Of slang during the past year had caused her a good deal of worry.
 'Oh, Mamma, l beg your pardon. But l was 80 excited over our trip to Chi cago that I let my tongue get into its old bad habit again But, may l take my kite Mamma2'
 Yes, my dear, you may take your kite with you to Chicago, for your uncle lives near to the lake, and there are fine avenues for you to run on to fly 1t.
 The days passed too slowly for Robert, for he was so anxious to get started to- wards the Queen of the Prairies, com monly known as Chicago And at last, when the day for starting came. Robert was all aglow with excitement. He was sorry to leave his dear father, but MT. King promised to pay his wife and son a visit during the holidays, so that light ened the sadness of parting.
 Once in Chicago Robert found himself in the midst of perfect paradise. The great lake shone beneath the bright au- tumn sun like a giant gem. The lovely,  well-kept grounds skirting the lake shore were so inviting to the small-town boy Everything about the city, from it's thronged, dusty streets to its beautiful tree bordered avenues and splendid parks. unfolded new glories and wonders to Robert King. And how cordial his uncle and aunt were. and what pals Harry and Gladys were beginning to be! Really, Robert was In the seventh heaven of delight from morning till evening.
 One beautiful Saturday afternoon Rob ert was sufficiently recovered from the effects of constant sightseeing to be- think himself of play-just plain. every day play. And he got his kite from the storeroom, where 1t had been put on his arrival in the city.
 Say. cousin Harry. don't you want to fly my kite7' he asked of Harry.
 ''Yes. 1t will be great sport. Bobby; but I've an errand to run for mamma first Suppose you go down on the lake and practice flying it till I join you. Then we'll go away out to the park. It's fine out there for kite-hying outside the trees, you know, in the big open space"

The Magic Penny.
BY MAUD WALKER

 - ESSIE was dear little girl of k seven years of age. She was the
 only child of a poor farmer and
 lived in the country near to a range
 of high hills. Over these hills grew heavy timber and through the timber ran many wild animals and flew many kinds of birds But Bessie had never gone to the hills, for her fathers farm was about three miles distant from the foot-range. The very high hills ran a mile beyond the foot-range. So Bessie had never seen the hills except from a distance.
 One day she sat looking toward the line of blue hills, her mamma noticed the wistful look in. her big blue eyes and asked her what she was thinking about. I'm wondering what the mountains (they always spoke of the hills as noun tains) look like when one is really and truly close to them" she explained. II wish I could go there, Mamma. l be- lieve there must be fairies there, for in my book of fairy tales l read of fairies always living In the mountains and hiding away in great trees and behind great rocks. Oh, how I would love to go to the mountainsr'
 Well. dearie, some day when Papa has the time to take us, we'll all three go over and explore the mountains and perhaps find a fairy. But, you know, we'll have to ride over in our wagon and take old Dandy to draw us there. And as Papa and Dave have to use both Dandy and the wagon about their

 When the Prairie Queen" pufred Into the landing place Robert heard someone call ing his name, and looking shoreward he saw his mother and Harry awaiting him.
 When Robert stepped ashore, his mother and Harry asked in the same breath: Where have you been7" And his mother added: I've been so worried about you, son. You've been away from home for more than two hours. and I couldn't think what had become of you. How on earth did you get in that boat?'
 Then Robert did some explaining, after which Harry told him how he had waited h vain for him at the lake for nearly an hour, after which he had returned home and made inquiry for him at the house.

 well have to ask your captain to dine with us some evening"" said Roberts uncle, when he had heard of the interest ing old ex-seaman. And they did invite him, too. It happened one Saturday afternoon when Robert and Harry were out on the lake shore, flying the huge kite. The old captain was coming into port. as he termed 1t, and seeing the boys, invited them to have ride on the 'watery- wave'' And after the ride was over the boys asked him to dine with them, which he very gladly did, and never was brighter or more happy evening spent in the King'a home than was spent that evening with the ex-seaman and pres ent captain of the "Praire Queen" as guest of honor. And, although, Robert was never again lost in Chicago-al- though he went about doing much lex ploring'-he often made a trip to the shanty of the captain. and there spent many a pleasant hour listening to the old mans merry talk

Robert thought Harry's plan a good one and, with kite in arms, started out to- ward the lake shore. beautiful avenue fronted the lake, and as 1t was at a point where there was not very much early afternoon driving, Robert had good and safe sweep of ground over which to run. He let out the kite, and soon the stiff breeze was carrying 1t away at q rapid rate far into the sky. Robert always en- joyed the sport of kite-dying, and as this was a new experience-hying T kite in the city-he became so absorbed in his fun that he forgot to notice his surround ings or to keep tab on the distance he was running. The kite, freakish as kites always are, led him away from the lake Into pretty little street of cottages and green yards. Then into another street, and so on; and after q while, when Rob- ert remembered that Harry was to meet him within half an hour, he found him. self wondering which direction would lead him home But he felt that he had kept a pretty straight course along the lake, which was now no longer in view, and he set out to find It. He kept going and going, and after awhile the houses became scarcer and the streets unpaved. And occasionally a common-looking shack

 NO, dearest, don't suppose the person who lost the penny will have any idea where he dropped 1t. and even if he had an idea. he could not afford to come back for such a small sum. So, you may have it, dearest. Of course. If it should turn out that one of the neighbours children had dropped it, we would give 1t to him.
 Then Bessie went to put her jacket and hat away, for she was an orderly little miss, and kept her things in place. As she hung her hat on its peg In her own little room, which led directly out of her parents room, she experienced a feeling of drowsiness as her eyes fell on her in- viting white bed. Mamma had already been In her room and made up the bed and tidied things a bit, and the cosiness of the snug corner where her bed stood was too restfl'l tO res st So climbing rlDon
