Teddy had all the points necessary to
make him a show possibility in the
short-haired Persian class. He is
black, has a round head, long tail,
yellow eyes, glossy fur, small ears.

years old, and he has acquired many
accomplishments. He sits up straight
on his hind legs and, in more playful
moods, will box. He can jump through
ones hands held shoulder high. He
can leap from table ten feet away
to mans shoulder He leads with
a leash like a dog, and is fine swim
mer.

Trade conditions GENERALLY arc salts

active for this season of the year. Con-
ttnuous temperate weather has favored
building operations. which are active
creating steady demand for supplies.
At the same time the moderate wea tn
er has retarded sales of seasonablc
commodities, and early reduction sales
are noted. Manufacturers of harness
report unusually good sales. Prospects
arc more favorable for a good season
for those engaged In the manufacture
of agricultural fertilizers. as farming
operations are further advanced than
