Some letting UP is noted in the rail-
road demand for steel, but this IS
largely compensated for by the con-
sumption Of plates. bars and structural
material. so that higher prices for GER
tain steel products are announced. The
dry goods trade in it's various divisions
is in a wholesome position. Print cloths
and convertibles continue active. Adj
vance sales of wooden dress goods are
large and prices are higher. The ex-
port and the retail trades in all
branches are for the season excellent.
Leather is dull. but hides are more ac-
tive. The New England shoe manufac-
turers are in possession of sufficient
orders to keep their mills going and

ton as the year advances. Reports from
nearly all the leading cities indicate a
conservative betterment both in volume
of activity and in business confidence.

York during the most recent week was

While the republicans of the coun-
try are confronted with very seri-
Gus problem regarding support Of the
national ticket, many honestly believ-
ing the nomination OF Taft and Sher-
man was secured by fraud, no such
considerations face the party ticket

some are progressives. They secured

is true Of the various county tickets,

Here he worked side by side with them,
preaching in the synagogue on every Sab

We have it from Pauls own pen that
he worked with his hands as he travelled
from place to place. depending upon his
skill as a mechanic to earn his livelihood.
1t is fair to assume that Paul always
worked at the trade with which he was
most familiar in the cities that he visited.
and 1T is in entire harmony with Paul
general policy to suppose that he took ad-
vantage of every opening which presented
itself, becoming ali'things to all men, in

most helpful to him in order to secure en-

pose that parts of the day and surely
every evening were given to preaching to
the workingmen of his craft and other
crafts, as he met them in the public
squares and in the meetings of the labor
guilds. Indeed, according to the best In

Paul visited first of all and established
his greatest churches in the cities in
which trades unionism was strongest. In
questionably, he operated very largely
through the labor guilds In these cities.
1t Is not necessary to prove that these
ancient guilds were similar to present
day labor unions. OF course. they were
not in every particular. But If one were
