GREATEST TOY MARKET.
Gotham Leads All the Cities of the
World in the Trinket Trade.

According TO an interesting story IN
the New York sun, New York city is
by far and away the, worlds largest TOY
market The annual volume of trade
al wholesale prices is SIS, 900 600, and OF
this a large part is shipped out OF the
country. mainly to the great fairs OF
Europe and Asia.
In mechanical toys and in toys made
of iron tin. lead and brass New YORK
has ranked first as the worlds largest
market for twenty years. More recently
the local toy interest has branched out
in building wooden toy-making factories
in the numbering region. where much OF
the refuse from sawmills makes Tine STOCK
for toymakers and can be obtained at
such low prices that European makers
OF wooden toys cannot compete against
the larger products of American wooden
toys who push trade throughout Europe
and Asia.
There are e.5ss live patents issued by
foreign nations TO New York makers OF
mechanical and other toys. This as
sures a good market for those toys in
countries which possess 2o0.V0.0oo chill
dren.
Exports of toys from that city begin
to be large in July. and the trade holds
out until late in October, when all large
consignments for the great marts OIL
Europe must be forwarded TO meet
Year trade. There are now residing
in New York City about l25 Indians
who do fine work in basketry and bead
work and in toys to the order OF local
toy-trade factories.
Rag dolls. all made by women and
girls in that city, are sold in all countries.
A Brooklyn woman who a few years ago
began making rag dolls for one retail
toyshop now employs 300 girls in her
factory and farms out work to 800
women in and around New York. A
Harlem woman who originated negro
dolls handsomely dressed for sale TO
well-to-do colored families, has built
up a national business and has found
a good market through local toy ex-
porters to North Africa, where many
kinds of American toys are distributed
by caravans over enormous trading
zones.
factor in making American toys
popular in Europe in recent years is the
large number of gifts of toys sent
from here by fathers. brothers or sisters
Of the little Germans. Russians. Poles
Austrians or italians. There are many
limitations of domestic toys in Europe.
but the majority of buyers prefer the
genuine American-made toys. which.

Cheap Silo For Mo. Farmers.

4 100 ton silO that can be built
complete for $4,000 will appeal to
many Missouri farmers. This silO
Is the Gurler or plastered silo. a
number of them are in use in the
State at present, and because Of the
low price at which they can be built
II is probable that many viii be
built this summer. They preserve
silage as well as any other kind, do
not dry out aud fall down when
empty, and with reasonable care
can be expected to last about fifteen
years. One on the Experiment sta.

for the more permanent concrete

ding, completely enclosing the silo
except for the door openings. The
inner surface OF shceting is then
lathcd aud plastcrod with cement
and sand. The shecting re-inforces
the silo and the plaster makes it
air tight.
The entire material for 100 ton
Gurler silo can probably be bought
at any lumber yard in the State tor
$1,000 In sections where native
lumber is available, the cost will be
much less. Any man handy with
tools can built this silo. The Mis-.
