WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 DRY GOODS MARKET

New York; June 1.-The cotton goods market was quiet last week but values were fairly well maintained. The only change of importance were in a few lines of wide print cloth goods, which were shaded a sixteenth of cent on spot trad ing. Contracts are held about as they were a week ago. Buyers of drills, sheet ings and other domestics for the jobbing trade are operating only on limited way. Dress gingham in 32-inch width are being opened and many lines of fancy wash goods and white goods are being shown. Prices in most cases are as low as a year ago and In many instances staple prints and percales are being or dered in steady way for future delivery and prices are held steady. Bleached cot tons have been ordered well by cutters but jobbers are buying cautiously. Tickngs, dinems and other colored cottons are held firm and production is being limited to orders. Duck is being moved in steady way and is now held at much firner figures for future delivery. Curtailment of production is increasing as the close of the crop year approaches. Of the 105,- GOO pieces of print cloths sold at Fall River during the week about a third were for spot delivery. During the week small sales of three-yard sheetings were made for China shipment at 71s cents yard

Mathematics and Fertilizer

They have an arithmetic of their own in Page county, Iowa, according to a recent article in Success Magazine" In it are problems of the farm, and not of the counting room. ''If in the top soil of your field there is phosphorus to the weight of 2100 pounds, and crop of corn takes off 10 pounds. how manp crops of corn can be grown before the soil becomes exhausted?' How much Is this phos- phorus worth at the present market price of phosphates?" What would 1t cost you per acre to keep the phosphorus con- tent of the land up to It's present richness, at the present price of phosphate?'
 "If crop of clover through the bac- teria in its roots, adds nitrates to the soil to the value of s20 per acre, what is the real value of a clover crop. if fed to cows, clover returned in the manure, assuming that the COW will produce y butter, and it sells for a pound?" 'Tf a hen of a good laying breed will lay 200 eggs a year, and scrub hen will lay 100. and it takes the market price of ' dozen eggs to pay the hens keep. how many hens of the pure laying strain will it take to be worth a flock of 100 scruhs?' Make an inven- tory of your farm property
 Now when the pupils of the Page coun- ty schools began bringing "sums'' of this sort home to work Page county farmers began to prick up their ears. There was some sense in this. This wasn't any new fangled useless folderol. This made the boys and girls worth more on the farm. And it made em- more contented, too, by gum

SEA SPECIMENS
 CAPTURED IN PACIFIC

Washington, June 11.--(Special)-Th United States steamer Albatross. with corps of scientific men on board. has just completed an unusual ly interesting expedition down the southern California coast, around the peninsula, and back to San Fran cisco.
 The results of this voyage of dis. covery and research were satisfactory to all concerned The party, in addi- ton to the chief, Dr. c. H. Townsend acting director of the American Museum of Natural History in New York, in- cluded Dr. J. N. Rose of the National Mesum in Washington, botanist: Dr. Paul Bartsch. also of the National Mu- scum. zoologist: Waldo Schmidt, assist ant naturalist of the Albatross, and Messrs. Anthony and osborn, well known West Coast collectors The cruise lasted from March 1 to April 2S.
 The party cruised along the coast of lower California, stops being made at Guadalupe Island, San Benito, San Rartolome Bay. Bay San Crlstobal, St. Roque Island, Point Abrojos and many other places. and then passed into the Gulf of California, going as far as Tiburnon and Angel de la Guarda islands
 Several of the adult elephant seals were killed at Guadalupe Island, brought aboard the ship and put in brIne, while six of the younger anil nlals, four males and two females, were ca ntlired alive Tho adult a1apbap+ SaaI Is stout 22 feet long and has a snout or nose closely resembling the trunk of the elephant from which it derives it's name
 Guadalupe Island offers excellent op- rortunities for exploration and zoologe ical research. Here also was obtained a collection of fine specimens of many rare birds, mollusks and plants. The island has peculiarities of it's own and the party found animal and marine life not closely related to that on the main land.
 In the Bay of San Cristobal, formerly home of the elephant seal. another effort was made to locate more speci- mems, but none Of the animals was seen.
 Following along the coast, landing frequently, and making in the course of the trip ?5 deep sea hauls. ranging from 400 to i071 fathoms, many inter esting kinds of fish. crustaceans. mol lusks and spong,s were brought to II e surlace Brought up with the deepest haul, that of 6426 feet, were seven specimens of deep sea fish, five kinds or crimson prawn, several with blue eggs, one large pycnognid, many worms llVing in soft tubes, one great star

fish. several brittle stars and nuuer- ous other specimens
 In Magdalena bay were found many in terestng species of marine invertebrates. Here the scientists collected a quantity of shallow water specimens. At Angel de la Guarda, Tiburon and St. Esteban is lands, they found many lizards of the genera Sauromalus ard Ctenosaura.
 On Carmen island they encountered a wonderful salt pond, on which was a. coating between four and five inches thick. This crust is removed in large cakes, which are ground to the fineness of ordinary commercial salt. The salt is shipped from the island in large auan- titles.
 What is believed to be a new species of mountain sheep was discovered on the west side of Conception bay The scien- lists, howev sr, were unable to get close enough to capture any of the sheep but three sets of horns were obtained from local hunters
 Near Angel de la Guarda island a stick of dynamite was exploded in the water Killing or stunning a large number of fish which floated to the surface So many came to the top of the water that 1t proved big task to gather in the different specimens.
 Tiburon island also proved a fertile ground for investigation Many things of unusual interest were found there the island never having been explored since Admiral Dewey years ago made the original survey. He was then captain in command of the United States ship Narraganset Important investiga- tions were also made at La Paz, the great gathering ground aud shipping place for pearls.
 On the way back to San Francisco the ship touched at Santa Catalina islanu, and at San Jose and many other points along the coast
 The "Albatross' which belongs to the United States bureau of fisheries, is fur nished with every facility for an expe- dition of this kind. Large specimens were easily brought aboard the boat, cratcd and shipped for packing Almost no trouble was experienced in taking carv of the young elephant seals It was not found necessary to keep them ie a tank or other receptacle. q
 One car load Of those SD cine IS ne. arrived in New York apd the others 1T, expected in a few days.
 After the ship reached port, Dr. Bar tsch, under orders from the national mu- scum. started for the Isthmus of Pan anna to pursue further research work. but on account of the instruction in Mexico he was obliged to abandon the attempt and return to Washington.
 The botanical collections obtained on the voyage are to be divided between the national museum and the New York botanical gardens. Altogether more than 900 herbarium specimens were gathered. chief among these being the cacti, many of which were of considerable size and unusual interest.

STEEL OCCUPIED CENTER 0F INTEREST Halting and Irregular Move ment Ruled in Stock
 Market

New York, June 11.---Affairs of the United States Steel corporation in par ticular and the condition of the steel trade in general occupied a large share of the attention of speculative opera tors in stocks last week. The halting and irregular movement grew out of the perplexities caused by developments in that field. The intended attitude of the government furnished ground for apprehensions which were kept awake by the progress of the congressional inquiry into the affairs of the United States Steel corporation, reports of in- vestigations in the same field by the bureau of corporations and by the de- partment of justice and finally the grand jury inquiry in Pittsburg into the relation between the United States Steel corporation and the Pittsburg Coal company.
 Trade reports indicated the cut in prices of steel products still found the demand laggard. The decrease in May iron output to the lowest daily aver age since January was taken as an in dex of the trade situation. The month 1y statement of thrilled orders, how ever, was unexpectedly favorable, the decrease of 1O5,oO0 tons being only about one-half of the expected reduc- tion.
 The May copper statistics were. in line with previous reports of better conditions in that metal trade. The expansion of copper consumption by an almost as great a change as the growth in production gave an impress sion of vitality in the trade.
 Crop conditions on the whole held their influence for encouragement, in spite of some disappointment in the government grain crop report. The de- cline in condition of winter wheat Tn May proved greater than was expected and the increase in spring wheat acre age rather less than was looked for This still left room for estimates of final yield of a record crop of wheat.
 Much interest is expected to center this week on the offering of Panama bonds next Saturday The large over subscription expected would Imply plentiful supplies of capital seeking in- vestment and the premium indicated by quoted transactions in the bonds when issued" reflects the high credit of the United States government among nations, stripped as the new issue IS or the privilege of use for bank note CIT culation On the other hand, heavy de- mand for this government bond pure investment might be taken to show a spirit of caution among investors wnlcn would be interpreted by some observers as implying distrust of corporation se, curities.

cision given by the imperial court the lad of IA who has been brought up as Count Joseph Kwilecki may continue, at any rate, for the present to regard that as his legal name and to look upon him self as the heir to the manor of Kroblewo and it's revenues.
 The supreme court have upset the orr der of the Posen court that the boy should be delivered up to Frau Mayer. But, though there is no appeal from the imperial court, 1t would appear that the latest rulings leave the question of the boys identity practically where 1t was.
 Seven judges of the supreme tribunal at Leipzig heard the appeal. They did not order new trial, but simply can- celled the ruling of the high court at Posen. The decision of the supreme court is absolutely final, so that Joseph s identity as the real Count Kwilecki is definitely established.
 Count Ignez Kwilecki Josephs aged father, was the only member of the family present when judgment was de- livered. He was overjoyed.
 The overwhelming sorrow at the de- cision of the high court at Posen in depriving her of the boy, and indirectly of adjudging her a criminal, led to the death of Countess Isabella Kwilecki in February 1910.

Berlin, June (Special1-The Kaiser has developed what borders on mania for automobiles. He recently added new cars 10 his auto stable" It takes 59 men to run and repair the cars.
 The Emperor William is usually rep resented stern and rigid and has the rep utatfon of being rigid disciplnarian. But there Is another side of his charac- ter in which he shows himself as a joker On one occasion he visited cadet school at the appointed hour for work and no teacher had put in appear ance Tired of waiting, the Emperor began to conduct the lesson himself. and upon the arrival of the Hurried school master, said nothing, but quietly left the building. The teacher regarded his dismissal as certain, and was much alarmed when some time after a messen- ger arrived and handed him a package with the Kiaser's compliments He opened it nervously and found nothing more terrible inside than an alarm clocki
