OPPORTUNITIES FOR TRADE
Bryan, Trip Ended, Points to
Chances in South America.

finances IN South America.
William ]. Bryan, who has just
made a tour of South America, re-
turned to New York the other day on
board the Red D. Line steamship Car
acas. Mr.. Bryan talked of his trip
to the newspaper men. He was en-
thusiastic over the possibilities of
South America to be developed by the
opening of the Panama Canal.
South America is bound to become
the great market for the products of
this country said Mr.. Bryan. Here
tofore our merchants and manufactur-
ers have been kept busy with the home
markets, but now they are reaching
out for the trade Of the countries to
the south of US, and they will gain
it in time. The increased sale of our
goods within a very recent period dem
onstrated that we are already begin
ming TO see the necessity for reaching
out and grasping the opportunities
that lie all ready to our hand in the
South American countries. The open
ing of the Panama Canal, which will
not be delayed later than 1915, in my
opinion will lead to a marvellous de-
Velopment of trade relations with the
countries on the west coast of South
America"
During the next fifty years." con-
tinled Mr. Bryan, between 25,000,000
and 100000 emigrants will find a
home in South America, and the So
cial and economical changes that will
be brought about by this shift in pop
ulation will bring up for consideration
wholly new and probably difficult prob
lems.'
Mr.. Bryan would not discuss the
letter sent by him to be read at the
Jefferson day dinner in Washington.

LOWER FOOD PRICES IN SIGHT.
New York Provision Men Look for
Decline in Beef and Pork Values.

Close observers of the food products
markets in New York expressed eXpec-
tation of an era Of low prices for food
stiffs. "The wish in some degree may
be father to the thought said one
provision man, as lower prices would
help us as well as the consumer, but
the tendency of prices now is unmis-
takably downward. 1t seems to me
reasonable for people to look for a
decrease in the retail prices of beef
and pork in a short time. The plenti-
tude of grain has compelled the farm
er to feed it to his cattle, which are
waxing fat, and which must be put on
the market" Other provision men
expressed similar views, based largely
upon the decline in the grain markets
and predictions of bountiful crops,
both here and abroad.

dearer thing than any save they alone
realized. When his only unmarried
daughter, Jean, was drowned in her
bath during an attack of epilepsy just
before Christmas his nearest remain
ing tie was severed. He was a lone,
sOrrow-stricken man. After the pass
ing of his friends-William Laffan of
the Sun and Richard Watson Glider,
editor of the Century-he said sadly:
How fortunate they are! No good
fortune of that kind somes to mel"
Samuel Langhorne Clemens, Ameri-
cas- foremost humorist and known the
world over as Mark Twain, was born
in the little town of Hannibal, Mo-, on
November 80, 1885. Early in life he
worked in the printing Office of his
older brother and learned the trade as
a compositor. For a time he was
pilot upon Mississippi River steam
boats. But he drifted back into news
paper work and made a modest success
as correspondent for various papers in
Nevada and California. He published
his first book, The Jumping Frog of
CalaVeraS county, IN March, 1861 Two
years later a series of letters he had
written as a correspondent were col
lected and published under the title,
THE InnOcents Abroad" The book
had record sale and his fame as Il
humorous writer was secure. Other
books appearing later were "Roughing
1t, THE Gilded Age" tom Sawyer"
"HuckIeberry Finn" The Prince and
the Pauper," and "Pudd'nhead Will
SON.
His financial ability, however, was
none of the best and in 1894 his entire
fortune was swept away by the failure
of the publishing house. Mr.. Clemens
was abroad at the time, and although
sixty years of age he started out on a
tour of the globe, delivering lectures
and writing articles in order to pay
the debts Of the defunct firm, which he
was successful in doing.
