The Shoe Situation.

Footwear conditions show slight i'm
provement, but the actual volume of
trade continues moderate. The amount
of new business, however, is somewhat
larger. Statesmen are starting out on
trips and from now on the demand should
increase. There is decided improve
ment in the demand for sole leather, with
larger sales, especially of oak sole,
which have been taken to the extent of
10000 in the New York market alone.
Prices are frmer and in some instances
advances of about 1c. are reported secur-

proposition for all concerned.
Democratic promises, like pie crust,
are made to be broken; but, unfortu-
nately, they obtain more or less credence
before election-to be followed by re-
pentance the morning after. There are
no doubt some who voted the Democratic
ticket on September 18th under the de-
fusion that the election would be imme-
diately followed by free trade, free rum
and sweeping reduction In the cost of
living. 1t was even assumed, judging
from remark overheard on the street,
that the Belfast post office would be
handed over to one of our local Demo
cratic politicians. In the national field
the Democrats are playing like game.
In banquet at St. Louis, Mo-, Septem-
Der oath, attended by 200 Democratic
editors, Champ Clark told what the
Democrats proposed to do if they were
entrusted with power. Many of the
pledges he made the Democrats could
not redeem if they would and would not
if they could. Take this for an example:
Fifth, we would restore our merchant
marine to the ancient commanding po-
sition on the high seas which Democrats
once gave it," This should deceive no
one, in view of the fact that the Demo
Gratis in Congress have opposed every
measure for the benefit of our merchant
marine. In view of the changed con-
ditions brought about by the use of
steam, and latterly of gasolene, it is as
sensible to talk about going back to the
early days of shipping as it would be to
propose to return to the stage coach
times. The foreign and coastwise carry
ing trade is now mainly done by steam
ers, and the railroads are doing much of
the business that was formerly done by
our coasting vessels. Steamers frequent
" arrive at the port of Boston from the
East with cargoes valued at from ST.,
900, 900 to 3,000,000 They carry bulk
equal to that of four or five of the sail
ing ships formerly in this trade The
barges are fast monopolizing the coal
trade, and one concern which had main
tanned fleet of sailing vessels, has built
two large steamers for this trade, with
others to follow. A few years ago the
Great Northern Paper Co. built an aux
iliary schooner to carry paper from
Stockton to New York, but she has since
been replaced by steamer, which makes
a round trip weekly between the two
ports. Great Britain, France and Ger
many have established and maintained
important transatlantic steam lines by
liberal subsidies, but every attempt to
inaugurate a like policy in this country
has been opposed by the Democratic
party, and great South American trade
which might have been ours has been
lost thereby. The decline of wooden
shipbuilding, due to the building of steel
and iron steamers, has been charged to
the Republicans, but in Canada the con-
ditions are the same. Yarmouth, N. S.,
which built and owned large fleet of
sailing ships, no longer has square
rigger hailing from that port. The rail
road has put the stage coach out of bust
ness, and steamers have superseded the
sailing craft, and that tells the whole
story. Champ Clark's talk is mere bum
combe.

Money is plentiful in England and on the

good sign in making prediction for this
country. Nearly every crop in this
country this year is reported to be a
bumper one. Corn will set new record.
Four-fifths of the crop has been gather

small. The oat crop is the greatest in

see where apples enough could come

1t appears that the principal victims
of "the spite ditch" have no legal re-
dress. But they are not the only suf-
ferers The people of the neighborhood,
in which there are we'll kept and attrac-
tive grounds and residences, have also
reason to feel aggrieved at this needless
Disagreement, and the taxpayers of Bel
fast. who have already had to pay some
$500 and later will be called upon to pay
as much more, have good grounds for
complaint at this use of their money.
The contention that this covered drain
was not large enough to carry off the
water is negatived by the fact that two
sections of the drain were left as origi-
nallv built If the water could not pass
through the whole drain it could not pass
through these sections. Good judges say
that $50 would have done all that was
necessary; but money-the taxpayers
money-is no object when votes are to
be made or political opponents punished.
Hundreds have visited this ''spite ditch"
and all are loud in their condemnation of
the perpetrators of this outrage upon in
dividuals and upon the public.

Maine farmers have harvested ar
abundant hay crop of excellent quality,
and now they are digging potatoes, gath
ering apples, hauling corn to the can
ming factories and filling their silos. In
this section and along the coast west
ward potatoes generally are turning out
well, but prices are low The American
Cultivator says that because of the
shortage in that section the West will
need its own potatoes to take care of its
own markets and that the eastern mar
kets will be reserved largely for eastern
potatoes, thus securing a more certain
outlet There are, however, so many po-
tatoes in the East that it is hopeless to
look for high prices, but the situation is
time last year for eastern growers. In
Boston last week the range was 81 to
S1.lO for standard Maine stock in two
bushel bags, and in New York the quo
tations were 81. 70 to S1.75 for sacks and
So to 5Sc a bushel in bulk, delivered in
New York from Aroostooh county and
south Maine.
Maine canned corn has always led in the
market and the crop this year is report
ed to be unusually fine in quality and the
yield large. Farmers throughout the
territory covered by the Burnham &
Morrill, corn factories are interested in
the announcement that that firm is offer
irg two and one-half cents a quart for
cut corn, raise of quarter of a cent
on this seasons price. This will mean
many thousands of dollars to the farm
ers. Contracts are now being written
for next seasons crop on the new basis,
which will no doubt lead to an increased
acreage.
AS to apples The American Cultivator
says it is very plain that good eastern
apples will bring good prices, as the only
apples in competition will be those Of
the Pacific Coast, which are in class
by themselves and not usually consider
ed direct competitors, as they sell in a
different package and to different class
of buyers. Apples are reported being
sold around So. so to 1925 for No. Ones
at country shipping stations in the Or
chard sections, and it seems likely that
at least this level will prevail. Many
orchardists are holding for over SO per
barrel, but those accepting offers around
this figure are taking safer course,
since it has often happened that the
prices around the first part of the sea-
