Washington, Jan. 24.-"That the
present concentration of financial re.
sources in New York is sufficient to

OF the country" was the statement of
Henry P. Dawson of J. P. Morgan and

The question of further concentra.

upon the development of the business

REVERSE BLEACH FLOUR CASE
HIGHER TRIBUNAL REMANDS
CASE FOR RETRlAL,
Electrical Process Had Been Termed
Violation OF Pure Food
Law.

st. Louis, Jan. "a. - The United
States circuit court of appeals re.
versed the district court in the case
OF the government against the Lex.
ington Mill & Elevator company OF
Lexington, Neb., in the "bleached
flour" case.
The lower court held that the cleo
trical bleaching process was a viola
ton of the pure food law, but the
court of appeals remanded the case
for a retrial.
Judge Mcpherson of Kansas City
charged the jury that if it found that
the bleaching process added anything
to the flour, whether injurious or not,
it should return a verdict in favor of
the government. The higher court
ruled that Judge Mcpherson erred in
this instruction,
In the arguments before the court
of appeals, the attorneys for the COM
pany said that nitrate was added to
the flour in the bleaching process, but
contended that man would have to
eat about $4,000 loaves of bread be-
fore he would get an ordinary dose of
the chemical.
Attorneys said that the bleaching
process was so valuable to the millers
OF the country that were it's abandon
ment enforced the flour supply of the
nation would be reduced greatly while
the flour was bleaching naturally, or
the wheat thoroughly ripening.
The merits of the Alsop or electro
Using process Of bleaching flour are
not affected by the decision of the fed
eral circuit court, the case being re-
versed and remanded for a new trial
on technically having to do with ex-
ceptions to the district court Jury
which originally found against the
Lexington mills.

THE BAROMETER OF THE POST
OFFICE, THE READING OF
WHICH SHOWS WESTERN
CANADA'S GROWTH.

Several Of Western Canada news
papers coming to hand during thes
last part of the year 1912 contained
items of news such as the following.
speaking Of the Christmas work in
the postofflce:
Other years have been heavy and
the employees have had plenty of op-
portunity of learning what it was to
work overtime, but the past has had
nothing equal to the present. Forty
extra men have been employed Tin
Winnipeg), and mail trains have been
run special. The increase in the mail
this year has been due to the enor-
nous influx of people into Western
Canada during the season, and also
the general prosperity which the
prairie provinces have enjoyed. To
the latter cause has been due the
heavy increase in the number of par
GELS which have been shipped to the
old country and Eastern Canada"
The above extract taken from a.
Winnipeg paper gives a fair idea Of
the great work that the Canadian
postofices have had all through the
western prairies. During the past
year hundreds Of new postofices were
established, many Of them at remote
points from the railway, but all forced
upon the country on account of the
new settlements that. have taken
place during the year. It is said Of
the Canadian government that in its
immigration and settlement policy
there is nothing left undone to take
care of the people and their welfare,
whether it be In the new town along
new line of railway or in the re.
hottest hamlet. This solicitude and
care are not confined to the postof-
fee, but with every branch that has
to do with organizing new districts.
Bridges have been built, roads con.
structed, the district policed, and a
dozen other things have to be done
and ar. done. Is 1t any wonder that
with tire splendid land, the high,
yielding land, the land that is free to,
the homesteader or open to purchase
at reasonable prices from the railway
and land companies, that the Cana.
dian immigration records for 1912.
Will show arrivals Of upwards Of
100000, one-half of this being from the
United States. The new literature
being sent out by the immigration
branch at Ottawa, and its agencies

features that will mark the work Of

BRAOSTREET'S REPORT

Reports to Bradstreet's for the
week reflect some things which
may be taken as indicative of fav-
orqble outlook for future business.
Manufacturers of and dealers in
lumber are placing good sized orders
for logs to be delivered during the
coming months. The amount of
stocks on hand of finished lumber
are reported low and trade while for
the present is inclined to be a little
quiet, is reflected as of reasonable
amount. Manufacturers of veneer
products state the demand is fair
and surplus stocks are small. Prices
compare favorably with other peri
DDS. The demand for garments and
kindred articles has been and con-
tinues brisk. Wholesale dealers and
jobbers in genera hardware report
large sales and they report that the
trade in that line has kept up well.
The cold weather of the week has
shown brisk buying at the retail
stores in larger places while country
trade has not opened up to any large
extent yet in fall and winter lines.
The demand for apples has been
heavy and all who have had them
for sale have met with quick move
ment and prices have been reasonable
considering the short crop. Hay is
receiving good prices. Notwith-
standing the rains of a week ago
streams and springs are still low.
Burlington manufacturing plants
are fairly well employed. Cotton
mills are operating plants full time
and force. The cool weather has
shown an increased buying at the
stores. The marble interests at
Rutland are fully employed and
other lines are said we'll employed.
At St. Adams additional help is be-
ing employed at the railroad shops
and the garment factory is operating
to capacity. At st. Johnsbury COM
ment upon general busiuess reflects
a cheersul tone. At Montpelier co n
sentative reports are given out by
the manufacturing plant but the
retail merchants predict good
trade in winter weight goods. Barre
speaks well of present conditions
among both wholesale and manu-
featuring lines. Bennington mills
are we'll employed and retail trade is
pr onounced as very good.At Bellows
Falls. general trade is only fair.
Brattleboro reports among certain
lines of manufacture little slowing
down while others label tn e situation
as rushed. The percentage of I'M
employed however is small and gen,
eral conditions have favored reta i
business.

wheezy breathing, c ,ughs and Group
