a FAVORABLE OUTDOOR.

Although conditions have been ir-
regular and unsettled in the stock
market during the past week and
longer, and these conditions reflect in
way on the general situation in
business and financial circles, Henry
Clews, the New York banker, is in an
optimistic frame of mind as to the i'm
mediate future. This unset-lement in
the stock market has been due in the
main, as Mr. Clews points out, to the
less favorable crop outlook. But he
urges that it is advisable t. view the
actual conditions in a calm frame of
mind. He does so and they don't look
nearly as bad as some people would
paint them.

it may be remembered that there
promises to be a rather close race this

FROM OTHER PENS
CONSUMPTION OF MEATS.

With high prices of meats a reduce
ton in the amount used is the natural
consequence. But why the price of
meats should have advanced last year
has never been convincingly explained.
The most frequent explanation offered
is the reduced supply, but that is pre-
cisely the element of the problem
which is least comprehensive. The
estimates of the Department of Agri-
culture would seem to support the
theory of a reduced amount of stock
in the country, but ther7 have been
such vagaries in these estimates that
we cannot put very much confidence
in them, and if there has been a dim
mutton in the number Of farm ami
mails it is impossible to understand
why, when there has for several years
been a good supply of corn and when
the prices would seem to tempt farm
ers to increase their stock.
The rapid advance from 1908 to
1910 may possibly have been due to
the increased consumption resulting
from the improvement in business
conditions as the country rallied from
the panic. Then the pretty constant
decline from March, 1910, to the pres
ent time may be due to the general
economy enforced by the high prices
to which free consumption had driven
hogs or had enabled the packers to adj
vance them. We offer these as con-
lectures, not very confident that they
explain the price movements, but they
are as reasonable as any explanations,
and the price of hogs has for five years
ranged very closely with tie general
state of trade.-Philadelp Record.

BAD MEN AS SOLDIERS.

The fame of the Rough Riders has
given many Americans an exaggerated
opinion of the proves in war of the
typical "bad men, of the old frontier,
now practically wiped off the map.
Some whose words have weight have
insisted ever since the Santiago cam
paign that the fighting powers and the
record Of the Rough Riders themselves
have been exaggerated.
But however that may be, there is
no doubt that the military value of or
CARNATIONS recruited from the typical
gun fighters of the wilder parts of the
west has been grossly overrated. Be
cause many of the individuals in such
commands are dangerous antagonists
if encountered in their own environ
ment and fought in their own way, the
habit has been to jump to the conclu-
sion that regiment of cowboys pros
pectors, hunters and mining camp
gamblers must be a terrible thing to
face in battle.
The last fight of the American vol
unteers who went into Mexico, partly
to help the revolutionists, but more to
have the fun of fighting and roughing
it, does not support any such estimate
of the prowess of bad men. At Tia
