HOLLAND USES MORE
BRIQUETS THAN COAL
Fuel Composed Chiefly of Peat
and Charcoal

Large quantities of briquets are used
in this district. says Consul Frank w.
Mahin of Amsterdam. made chiefly of
peat and charcoal. Briquets are popu-
lar for various reasons, but one of the
most potent is that it is often more eco
nomical to use them than the substance
OF which they are made Another
strong reason is that no coal is mined
in Holland except in a remote south
eastern corner. where mines are worked
which extend under the border line
into Germany. A common fuel is
therefore briquets of peat or charcoal
re-enforced for cooking and heating
purposes by charcoal or Welsh anth-
racite coal

AMERICANS BOOST
PRICES OF FURS
Milady's Caracul Coat Is Making
Russian Producers Very
Wealthy

On account of the great and grow
ing demand In the United States for
the caracul (Persian lambskins). the
exceptional position taken at the
Mini Novgorod fair this year in the
fur trade will unquestiOnably be a
matter of interest to American deal
ers, writes Consul General John H.
SnodgrasS, Moscow.
All furs, without exception, were for
biddingly expensive and only accessi-
BILE to foreign buyers, the local pur-
chasers being exceedingly conserva-
tive. Sable. marten, ftchet, squirrel.
marmot and others were bought up at
inflated prices. and the same tendency
remained throughout the fair, though
toward the close foreign buyers became
perplexed and indicated doubt as to the
successful outcome of concluded deals
in furs at such high prices.fdue to in
formation received from abroad.
Particularly as to Persian lambskins,
which come principally from Bokhara,
this years trade exceeds that of 1909.
the production being estimated at
100000 pieces, though only about
10000 bundles reached the fair: the
bundles are also smaller than formerly.
containing from $50 to 10 pieces,
where before they ran as high as 500
pieces to the bundle. From this guam
tity the major portion went abroad,
though 1000 bundles were brought TO
Moscow Prices for Persian Iambskins
ranged from s54 to sS5 for 10. which.
for such an unstable fur. is considered
excessively high. The impetus to such
a rise in prices. in a great measure,
was given before the Russo Japanese
war by German firm in Bokhara.
1t is worthy of mention that the
present prevailing fashions in Europe
and America among the wealthy and
aristocratic classes have to a great ex-
tent supported the enormously high
prices, as well as increasing the de-
mand for Persian 1ambskins
The total amount of furs produced
in Bokhara is estimated to be valued
at approximately S10,000.OOO.

Plea for Contract Warships

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-The govern
ment could save $1.50O,000 if it could
have the battleship New York built in
a private yard instead of at the New
York navy yard, according to the testi-
mony of Chief Constructor Watt of the
navy before the house committee on
naval affairs today.
He said there would be material
saving to the government If 1t could
build all the vessels by contract.
Dean C. Worcester, secretary of the
interior of th~ Philippines government,
gave the house committee on insular
affairs details of the friar lands trans
actions, which the committee is inves-
tigating, and made general defense
of the Philippine government against
the charges brought by Representative
Martin of Colorado.
The reading was begun in the house
today of bill for the revision and cod
ification of the postal laws.
It. provides for a practical reclassifi-
cation of the postal service and for the
appointment of a director general OF
posts The latter would be a permanent
government official, being subject to
dismissal for cause only. and would be
the principal manager of the entire
postoffice department.
This would not dispense with the
cabinet position of postmaster general
and the latter would be the real head
of the department, giving his attention,
however, almost entirely to the broad
ouestionS of policy

Canal Bill Being Drafted

WASHINGTON. Dec. 19.-President
Taft is having the draft of bill pre-
pared designed to carry out his ideas
as to collection of tolls on the Panama
canal. Representative Mann of Illinois,
chairman of the interstate commerce
ommittee, which will deal with the
subject has conferred with him and
in all probability will introduce the ad-
ministration measure.
The president believes the tolls ought
not to exceed ST. per net ton TO obtain
a gross income of nearly $7,000,000.
The maintenance and operation cost
is estimated at upwar dof SS,00000O

MEXICAN DELICACY is
MADE FROM HOG SKINS

Replying to a Cincinnati inquiry in
regard to Mexican supplies of green
salted hog skins, Consul Thomas w.
Voetter states that the quantity which
might be secured in Saltillo is limited.
probably not over 100 skins per month.
The consumption of pork is not great
in Saltillo. and in addition to this the
skins of most of the hogs butchered at

BALLINGER "BUCK"
ISPASSED OHOUSE
Agriculture Committee to Send
Report Back Without
Comment

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-The ma
jority and minority reports of the spe-
cial Ballinger-P -Pinchot Investigating
committee will be reported out of the
house committee on agriculture with
out comment. The reports were re-
ferred to that committee and members
of the committee have been loath to
take the question, figuring that the
reports having come from a committee
should have been left on the speaker 5
table instead of going to another COM
mittee.
The committee on agriculture con-
sidered the matter briefly and the plan
is to send the reports back to the
house. This win put the matter be-
fore the house in the shape that the
minority members wish, and the motion
to adopt the majority report will be
followed by minority proposition to
substitute the minority report.
Considerable speech making on the
whole issue is probable before the con
troversy is out of the way The ques-
tion will not come up until after the
holiday recess.
