Pleasant street Saturday afternoon.
The boy was playing on the side walk
when the frightened animals. drawing

the street near the walk. Just az
they came opposite him the team
swerved suddenly In and one of the
horses struck the boy with force
enough to hurl him for a distance of
several feet. Fortunately his in
juries amounted only to several pain
full bruises about the arms and legs.
The runaway started several blocks
from the Conn home and nobody was
on the wagon at the time. The horses
were stopped shortly after the acci.
dent without further harm being
done.

both quantity produced and value were
reported at both tensuses, the average
value per unit in 1899 was computed
and this was multiplied into the guam
tity produced in 1909, thus showing
the total value which would have been
reported for each crop in 1909 IL the
acreage value per unit had been the
same as ten years earlier. For certain
crops, the values were not reported
separately In 1899, and for certain 9TH
er crops quantities were not reported
at either census, but the analysis COW
ers nine-tenths Of the crops of the
country as measured by value.
The total reported value of the crops
covered by the computation in 1899
was $2,s91,s79,000. and the total re.
ported value Of the same crops in 1909
was s4,934,4 900, an increase Of sS.S
per cent. Had the prices of 1899 pre-
vailed, however, the value OF these
crops in 1909 would have amounted to
$2,962,35S,0 900, or an increase Of only
10 per cent over 1899. The difference
between s2,962, 1858 900 and $4,934, ,490,-
900, or S1,972,1S2,OO0, represents the
amount added to the value or these
crops in 1909 by reason of increase in
prices over those Of 1899 the average
percentage of increase in prices being
thus 666.
The figure just given, 10 per cent, as
representing the excess of he value of
the crops Of 1909, on the basis Of 1899
values, over the values of the same
crops in 1899, is virtually consolidat.
ed expression Of the general increase
in the quantity Of crops produced.
Covering, as 1t does, nine-tenths Of the
crops Of the country, it may properly
be compared with the increase of 81
per cent In the population of the Unit.
ed States between 1900 and 1910. An
earlier statement showed that the I'm.
crease in the number of farms from
1900 to 1910 was 1913 per cent, and the
increase in the rural population which
includes places under $500 In addition
to the agricultural population. was
11.2 per cent, the increase in urban
population being 34.S per cent. 1t is
only by reason of great reduction In
the expectation of agricultural pro.
ducts that the increasing consumption
Of the country has been supplied.

Worlds Consumption.

Speaking more specifically as to cop
per the situation as to the metal Itself
from the point OF view Of consumption In
France could not be better. The position
Is sound and strong, with every evidence
that there will be q demand on this coun-
try to supply Europe this year with 10
TO 20 per cent moro copper than last year.
based not only on the forecasts Of those
who are best Informed as to the European
consumption OF the metal. but Is borne
out by the producers figures. 1t is ap-
parents assuming that the present rate
OF consumption will continue, there will
be a demand on this country to supply the
world with 10000. 900 pounds OF copper
more this year than last or. In other
words, an increase OF Is per cent,
THE production so far this year has
just about equaled that Of last year, so
that It will be necessary 10 provide very
large increase in production for the sec
ond half OF this year to take care of the
years demand, 1t will be a fortunate
thing for the copper industry as whole
IL there is an increase in production
spread over the balance oe this year, and
this is likely to be the case; otherwise,
the best interests OF the trade. not only
from the producers but from the consum-
ers; point Of view, will be seriously af-
fected. The producers are quite content
with the present prices. and are more
than anxious to maintain such stability
In the price as will serve to maintain a
steady consumption rather than risk Il
curtailment OF consumption.
THE consumption OF copper In Europe
is divided among the various countries
about as follows: Germany, IS per cent;
France 20 per cent: England, 90 per cent
and other countries, IL peg cent
