AMOUNT OF AMMUNITION
CAUSE OF GREAT SURPRISE

American Army Officers Astounded at
the Amount of Shooting Done
in Mexico.
Washington.-The situation in the
Mexican capital is regarded in military
circles here as unparalleled in modern
history and experts are astounded at
the ammunition sources of the con-
tending forces.
One army officer declares that the
United States army could not fight
six days as the combatants in Mexico
have done, with all of the ammunition
now ON hand. Although theoretically
equipped with 100000 rounds of am
munition for three-inch field guns,
there are less than 10000 rounds in
United States arsenals, while of the
10000 rounds supposed to be available
for the siege guns only $500 are in
sight. Moreover, about 1000 rounds
per day represent the entire maximum
product of United States arsenals.

What the Navy Burns Up in SaIuting
Him Amounts to a Tidy Sum-
October lncidentals.
Young America Is taught that the
United States pays the president $751;
900 yearly for appointing postmasters,
reviewing fleets, riding at the head of
parades, and incidentally supervising
governmental machinery.
One seldom hears of any other sums
connected with the presidents office,
but an inspection of report recently
issued by the secretary of the treasury
shows the chief executive to be just
a bit more expensive than popular sup
position credits him with being.
Congress willing, and since the econ
omy banner has been hoisted it may
not be, the United States will spend
$820,790 in the fiscal year 1914, which
begins July l, to maintain its executive
establishment, including the president
the White House and trimmings. The
fiscal year of 1913 cost about a quar-.
ter million less than that.
The presidents salary is $4,000 a
year. The other dollars are for "inci
dentals.'
His assistants, secretaries, clerks
stenographers. messengers, etc., are
expected to cost S71,04O next year, 8
saving of about $1,000. That doesn't
include his chief assistant, the vice
president, at $4,000 year. Station
cry, kilograms, telephones, motor cars
and books will add $4,000 more.
Ordinary care and extraordinary re
pairs in 1913 cost $4,000.
Then outside the listed cost of what
a recent Canadian visitor called q
king who ruled, but didn't reign" the
navy burns up few thousands in pow
der saluting him every year, the army
ditto, and the nation spends another
bunch, unofficially. of course, quitting
work half day or running up to the
county seat to see the president wave
his hat from the rear platform of {
private car.

Bradstreet's Says Trade Is Expanding
-Dun's Says No Change.

Bradstreet's Review of Trade says:
Trade is expanding, visiting buyers
are increasing their purchases as the
season progresses, and in consequence
February opens auspiciously. Retail
dealers continue to press jobbers for
goods, colder weather has impaired
zest to final distribution, industrious
operations are as active as heretofore,
winter wheat is in good shape, money
is in active demand and save in a few
lines, merchants display no particular
apprehension over prospective tariff
changes.
Copper is very dull and the under
tone is weak.
Farmers are holding their coarse
grains and lower temperatures have
brought more firmness in prices for
foodstuffs. Soil conditions in parts of
the southwest have been improved by
recent falls of snow, but there is room
for further Improvement, though the
wheat belt, as a whole, as we'll as the
crop, is in good shape.
Money is in good request and banks
continue to be liberal buyers of COM
mercial paper, the supply of which is
not abreast of demand.
Business failures for the week end
ing February 6 were 259, which COM
pares with 1923 in the like week of
1912. There were Al failures in Can
ada.
Wheat, including flour, exports from
the United States and Canada for the
week ending February aggregate
3,S59,752 bushels, against 3,S16,45S this
week last year.
Dun's Review says: No important
change has taken place in the BUSH
ness situation during the last week.
The leading industries and trades are
still prosperous and the undercurrent
OF conservatism that exists in some
quarters has not retarded to any meas
urable extent the seady broadening Of
industrial and mercantile activity.
The Balkan situation has caused some
financial strain abroad and part of the
heaVy European gold requirements
have been shifted to this side. This,
in connection with the demands &C.
casloned by our increasing domestic
trade, has impaired a slightly firmer
tone to the market.
The open winter, while somewhat
unfavorable to retail trade, has af-
forded stimulus to various branches
OF industry. Building and allied lines,
for example, have been generally &C
active and the unusual weather has
added materially to the already large
traffic of the railroads, whose gross
earnings during four weeks of Janu-
airy increased 1879 per cent. Notwith-
standing the strike in the clothing in
dustry the important textile trades are
prosperous.
Recent snow has improved winter
wheat conditions. The record of for
eign commerce continues to be one OF
the striking features of the business
situation.

Hold-up at Kansas City, Mo.

Kansas City, Mo.-A man who gave
