The Science of City Building

There are certain cities, big and small, that are deserting the Topsy method of just growing. They are be-
 ing gently and consistently pushed d along toward greatness. To use an in vidious metaphor. they are picking factories from their less wakeful neighbors and planting them in their own towns, they are causing the trans fer of hundreds of millions of dollars worth of business from the somnoent cities and. in this time of reforms, are boasting of their remarkable progress in population.
 The way the thing is done may be aptly illustrated by the manner in which Poughkeepsie obtained an auto mobile factory. The secretary read in 6 newspaper that an Italian company was thinking of locating a factory ir this country. Without waiting for the owners to have a chance to look tn @ country over and decide for themselves, the secretary bounced upon them and talked Poughkeepsie, talked 1t hard and convincingly. He invited them to come and see the place, and when he got them there took them all over the town. showed them the schools and churches. the parks and working-men's houses, told them about tho railroad facilities and rates. Then he took them to tho Very spot that he had picked out in advance where they could build, he pic tured the factory to them. pointed to the homes their men would live in, told them how low the taxes were and hew healthy was the air. When they went dway the visitors had every good point about Poughkeepsie throbbinE in their heads in hundred different forms. and consequently they straightway came back and built their factory in Pough- keepsie.

MANITOBA SALES
 ADVANCE WHEAT Bullish Crop Advices Are
 Received REPORT FLY DAMAGE Hession Fly Claimed to Be Ruining Illinois Crop-Corn Offerings
 Are Very Light-Small
 Trade in Oats

Chicago, March 8@-Blg export sales of Manitoba wheat rallied prices here today. There were also bullish advfces regarding crop conditions in Oklahoma and Illinois. At the close the market was the same as last night to Ae up. Corn scored net gain of 1sc to lsQAc; oats finished unchanged to A@Ac higher and provisions down 2lsc to Dc.
 Assertions that 25 boat loads of wheat from Manitoba had been sold for ex- port were backed up by an advance of cent in quotations in Winnipeg About the same time dispatches at hand al- legged that more than half of the Okla homa crop had failed to come up, al- though harvest was only 90 days away. Ravages from Hessian fly in Illinois were likewise reported, much to the discomfort of the bears. The latter during the early trading found things more to their lik- Ing in consequence of lower cables and because of somewhat general belief thas the government report as to farm re- serves would prove disappointing to the bulls. According to the most popular es- innate, the document was expected to show 175,000,0OO bushels in first hands
  age became current, however. the firm ness ensuing continued for the rest Of the session. Between the opening and the final sales May reached as high and low limits 91c and 90Ac, with the closs Ac up at 90A@90Tsc.
 Country offerings of corn were decld- edly light. This fact and sympathy with wheat had much to do with bringing about a rally. May ranged from 4sAc to 4S&c and finished h0i4c net higher at 4S9s@4SAc. Corn was easy. No. 2 yel- low closed at 461a047c.
 Light trading left oats subject entirely to the influence of other grain. May varied between 301sc and 3O1aQ30ssc. with latest transactions at 3osse, a net gain of a shade.
 Lower prices for hogs depressed pro- visions. In the end, though, none of the products were down more than 5c.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. March 8.--(Special. )-There was better demand in Manchester and in Liverpool today. with a resulting ad- vance there. which was better than ex- pected. Arbitrage buying here was fea- ture, followed by an active demand for May. which continued during the morn- ing hour, at an advance of to s points. After the close of Liverpool the demand ceased. so the market slowly declined to the close under realizing by the dis appointed buyers of yesterday.
 The returns of the English board of trade showed the extent of the demand for cotton goods during December and January, the shipments of yarns and cloths being very heavy.
 At the close the feeling was one of dis couragement with the trade looking for a sharp decline in Liverpool tomorrow of over 5 points.

COTTON TAXES AN
 EARLY ADVANCE Declines Later on Less Ac-
 tive Demand SPOT DEMAND BETTER  Private Cables Report Failure of Barcelona Cotton House-In-
 teria Receipts Reported
 Decreasing

New York, March s.--An opening ad- vance in the cotton marked sent May con tracts up to 1437c, or about $f.bJ per bale above the low level of yesterdays open ing, but demand became less active at this level and prices later eased off under realizing or local selling with the close barely steady at net loss of from l to points.
 The market was steady at an advance of to points and active months sold to 10 points net higher right after the call on renewal of yesterdays covering movement and little fresh buying for long account. inspired by better cables than looked for and reports of a better spot demand in the Liverpool market.
 But there was no aggressive support from the bull leaders. the ealy buying movement seemed to supply the more ur- gent demand from shorts and the market soon turned easier under realizing by re- cent buyers for turn, while local bears became more aggressive when they noted the absence of bullish effort and the fact that long cotton was again coming on the market Slight rallies occurred from time io tiiiic 0hiiAS tho Nuyt bah iiio 6OhVhe heAh tendency was downward, the lowest point being reached In the late trading and closing prices were within a point or two of the lowest.
 Private cables reported the failure of Barcelona cotton house rumored to have been long of Egyptian cotton and short of May contracts in New York, and
 it was supposed that the covering of May shorts had been a factor here yesterday, but otherwise the rumors seemed to at tract little attention. Private advices were received from several interior points during the day, claiming slightly bet ter spot demand, but local brokers re- ported no improvement in the demand from domestic mills. and advices from the domestic dry goods trade indicated no immediate Improvement. Somewhat smaller interior receipts encouraged lit- tie buying during the middle of the day and bullish predications that the report of the census bureau, due a week from next Monday, will indicate a very small movement for the remainder of the sea- son.
 Receipts at the ports today, 10,673 bales, against 10,3S2 last week, and 12,5oS last year. For the week, 5000 bales, against 10s,8se last week and 7s.3sS last year.
 Todays receipts at New Orleans, 416S bales. against 7176 last year, and at Houston 2044 bales. against 2456 last year

Export Insurance

From Consul James Oliver Laing,
 Malta.
 Maltese merchants state that an ob- stacle to American trade is the fact that American insurance companies will not. as 9 rule. insert rat and taint" clauses in their policies. British insurance companies insert this clause and will insure against practically any harm to goods. Merchants and ship pers here assert that the tendency Of American companies which insure goods in transit to Malta is to cover loss by the sinking or damaging of the ship.
 The "rat and taint' clause covers damage caused by rats. or by such a condition of the hold of a vessel tha, goods are injured. An example of the latter kind of damage is injury to a cargo of wheat which came In contact with petroleum on the sides of the ves- sells hold.
 The probable reason for this attitude of American companies is the difficulty of inspecting goods upon arrival In Malta when claims under tho rat and taint" clause are made.

Tea Shipments From China

From Vice Consul Gen. w. Roderick
 Dorsey Shanghai.
 The total quantity of tea exported from China in 1909 was 9,792,4 pounds. decrease of 10,207 500 pounds from 1908. This reduction was due principally to a decreased demand for common black ters, which was attrib- uted to the abundant supply from In dia and Ceylon of the low grades used in cheap mixtures China appears not to specialize in the production of com mon teas. and it's distance from the European consumer would. even in the absence of taxation at home. place it at 0 disadvantage fin the competition. The future of Chinas tea trade would seem to rest with the finer qualities which have not yet been initiated else where

Value of Open-Air School
} Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcrlpt.
 The coming generation, in the cities at least, is likely to have more lively appreciation of the value of fresh air than the one that has preceded. Within the last three years nearly 50 cities have established open-air schools for the bene- Tt of tubercuous school children. Provi- derce began it, and other municipalities have followed on, though not all have developed the idea to the same extent Boston, for instance, might profitably carry 1t further than she has Pawtuck- ct, R. l., not only has a fine open-air school, but proposes to have at least one cpen-air room In every school building in the city.
