Wage Raise
Made to Men

PHILADELPHIA, Mar. 30.-Follow-
ing the lead of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road company, which has just given
six per cent wage increase to $4,000
employees on all railroads connected
with it's vast system east and west of
Pittsburg, came an announcement
from the offices of the Philadelphia
and Reading railway company late
this afternoon of a similar advance
in wages to it's men.
Like that of the Pennsylvania the
Readings increase affects all employ
es who receive less than $500 month
The Reading advance, however does
not include those employees whose
wages have been adjusted within the
last 80 days. From time to time, dur
ing the last three months the Reading
has adjusted the wages of certain
classes of trainmen and other en-
ployes. Including these the increase
announced today affects about $1,000
employees.
The general prosperous condition of
the railroads and the high cost of
living are given as the reasons for
the increase announced by both COM

Course Of Price
Movement Shifting

NEW YORK, Mar. 30.-The course
of the price movement of stocks SHIFT
ed again today The amounts offered
for sale were not of great volume but
the demand was insufficient to absorb
them except at material concessions.
The dealings had an appearance OF
professionalism and the market was
obviously narrow and apathetic. Con-
illusions of wide application were
drawn from the sudden weakness
shown by the Atchison convertible
bonds, which were dealt in when is

day after the issue was announced
the price ran off to 1.03 "a. 1t was
advanced in explanation that a pro-
vision by which the right of CONVEX
sion is deferred until 1913 first became
known today. The episode was cited,
nevertheless, to show congested

market.

Speech is not
WiSest Thing

CHICAGO, Mar. 30.-Professor Ma
thaniel Schmidt, head of the depart
ment of Oriental languages and liter
azure at Cornell university, just re-
turned from protracted residence
in Egypt Syria and Arabia, criticised
former President Roosevelt's recent
spee ch at Cairo at a luncheon gwen
toGay by the Chicago alumni assoc1a-
ton of Cornell
'T.,ere are plenty of Americans in
Egypt and Arabia today" said he,
who have dealt more tactfully with
those numerous questions which go to
make peace between nations than did
an ex-president of the United States
who spoke in Cairo the other day.
The speech was rather uncalled for
think. Now, a German would say
that Mr.. Roosevelt was just right.
IT IS the German policy to lay down
the law and if necessary to layonthe
lash. They would think it wholly pro-
per that he should tell the Egyptians
how to manage their affairs.
But there is a question in my mind

used to read the Egyptian nationalist
newspapers every day. There is really
tremendous feeling. I think the
truth is that the English policy of

man James j. Hill of the Great
Northern, that the railroads will re-
ouire new capital at the rate of 81
5000 900 year for six years to
come, to provide absolute necessities.
In face of this necessity the demand
for bonds both home and foreign sour
ces continues to fall off. There was
much discussion of the danger of dis
enlargement of enterprise in pro-
longed delay in the decision of the i'm
portant cases before the supreme
court, the possibility of which is sug-
gested in connection with the death
of Justice Brewer. There was rally
in prices when it became known
that the supreme court would be in
session on Monday with the POSSIBLE
ity inferred of decisions being handed
down.
The bond market was apathetic and
irregular, due to slight recoveries of
some recent sharp declines. Total sales

Raspberries now Winter
Fruit by Refrigeration

CHICAGO, March 31-Fresh red
raspberries all through the winter and
spring, just as firm and with Just as
delicate a flavor as the newly picked
berries in July, This is the latest
triumph of the cold storage warehous-
es of Chicago. Red raspberries that
were stored in a Chicago cold storage
warehouse last July by d. r. Sicily, a
South Water street produce merchant,
as an experiment were taken out last
week and found to be in perfect con-
dition for the most fastidious appe-
tite.
This experiment marks another great
advance in the development of the
modern cold storage business, an i'm
proE ement, according to James J. Hill,
ON the primitive co i storage methods
.,rat ticed for centuries by the farmers
when they buried. their fruits and
vegetables to keep them over from the
period of plenty to the period of scar
city in production.
Previous experiments have proved
the possibility of keeping fresh cher
ries and Strawberries through the win
ter and spring-this part of the bust
hess now being wess established amono
the South Water street merchants
1t has alse been proved that fresh
tomatoes may be kept in perfect con-
dition for two months and fresh peach
es for the same length of time. Or
anges and lemons are stored for COM
mercial use and kept in good condition
for two months
The harder varieties of pears are
kept in cold storage for months with
out any i'll effects resulting. Potatoes
are kept occasionally. There is no
difficulty from the keeping viewpoin;
but the range of prices for potatoes
is not great enough to make thei-
storage a paying proposition. Mr.
Sicily put eight carloads of potatoes
in storage in Ju Y at the time of the
freight teamsters' strike because he
could not sell them for enough to pay
the freight on them from Michigan;
! he took them out of storage in Sept
ember in perfect condition and dis
posed of them so that he suffered no
financial loss.
The 700 merchants of South Water
street do a business of about s256.-
G00.000 year, handling probably two
thirds of the food products including
veal but excepting meats and flour
consumed in Chicago. SO great has
been the improvements in the cod
storage methods in recent years that

Minimum Rates
Are Granted

WASHINGTON, Mar 30.-The pro-
carnations of the president granting
the minimum rates of tariff under the
Payne Aldrioh act to Canada. Austral-
ia and a number of countries less i'm
portant commercially, signed today,
completes the extension of the coun-
trys minimum rates to the whole
world About $50 nations and depen-
denotes are included in the list.
The work involved in determining
whether any of the nations included in
this long list were discriminating In
their tariffs against the United States
has occupied the attention of tariff OIL
GERS of the government almost con-
tinually since August last
Although no official statements are
available as to the net results of the
negotiations with all the nations of the
world, so far as the rates on American
products are concerned, there is reason
to believe the government officials re-
gard them as eminently satisfactory.
A semi official statement is made how
ey er that henceforth from 80 to so per
cent of the products of the United
States will be admitted to foreign coun-
tres free of duty and that OF the
American products which pay duty
in foreign countries, SO per cent will
be entitled to the minimum foreign
rates; a large proportion of these pro-
ducts hitherto have paid the maxi
mum rates.
The president today signed procla-
nations granting the minimum rate
to Australia, New Zealand, British
South Africa New Foundland and Ven
eZuela.
Of these, the most important COM
mercially is Australia.
The exports of the United States to
that country during the calendar year
1908, amounted to more than $29,0O0,-
600, the leading item being machinery
and manufactures of metal, $9,431,216;
wood and manufactures $5,179,508;
mineral oils $2,771,279; tobacco and
manufactures $2,713,575.
The imports from Australia during
1908 aggregated nearly $12,O00,000.
Among the more important articles
are wood manufactured $4,17S,539;
copper manufactured $3,779,S41; coal
$1,497,617.
New Zealand imported from the
United States during 1908 products
valued at $S,OO0O00 and her exports to
