Better Feeling in Trade.

Business conditions are improving
according TO the reports gathered from
a great many points throughout the
country by the mercantile agencies.
The improvement up 10 the present is
one Of sentiment rather than OF mani
festation in considerably increased
manufacturing output and in enlarged
volume Of commercial activity, although
an actual II gradual increase in indus
trial and mercantile operations is noted.
TO which a stimulus has apparently
been given by the moderate tone adopt
ed by the President. and steady prog
ress in the direction Of full activity is
widely predicted.
This improved general feeling found
striking reflection last week in the

THE PRINT CLOTH MARKET
Last Week. Business Encour
aging-150,000 Pieces Sold.
n Telegranh u IND Trlhunr. !

By Telegraph TO he lrlhuue.l
Fall River, Mass. Jan. 25-The print
cloth market has shown throughout the
week a good inquiry, especially for wide
goods, and the amount Of business exc
cuted for these goods is 'encoura ging. al
though not abnormal The margin or
profit figured is fair. but TO offset the
losses on narrow goods wide goods ought
20 be selling for more than they are. Ac-
cording 20 reports from manufacturers
and handlers OF narrow cloths, there has
been little demand for the goods. and the
outlook for these styles IS not bright
Business throughout the week has been
steady. and while some OF the individual
orders were large, still the majority were
only moderate in volume The mills were
stiff in their asking prices and succeeded
in getting what they asked for, it being
argued that prices are not yet on a parity
with cotton in a number OF cases. The
advancing prices in the cotton market
have helped 10 draw buyers away from
the inclination 10 try for concessions.
Actual cotton disable in the mills here
is costing more than the market quota
uoHS AnuIcdte' ana manufacturers are not
disposed to listen TO suggestions of CON
cessions. Estimates OF the amount OF
business done here during the week vary.
A fair average places the total goods
sold at about $4,000 pieces. OF these prob
ably 5000 pieces are spots. Deliveries on
contracts arc to run through the next
three months TO May.

President and Owen Bill.

One particular instance to prove that
this faith in the President attitude is
not unfounded came I'm the announce
ment from Washington that the bill in
troduced by Senator owen TO regulate
transactions on stock exchanges would
not receive favor from the White
House. The President specifically re-
Trained from touching on this subject
in his special message because 1t was
pointed out he considered It his duty
first toofulhl the election pledges of the
platform of the Democratic party
adopted at Baltimore. Members Of the
Stock Exchange have felt that this par
ticular bill represented the activities
of one specially hostile individual, and
that arguments in its favor would be
comparatively easy TO controvert.
So far as the new laws that are to be
enacted I'm accordance with the Presi-
dents desires are concerned, that call
ing for a change in the statute Of linn
tauons so as 10 allow private suits TO
pc begun alter sutCtSoiui nun uo'
action by the federal authorities and
allowing these suits of individuals 10
be based on the facts and judgments
provided by governmental successes is
regarded with great disfavor. The So
called strike suit is already unpleas-
antlv familiar TO those burdened with
problems OF corporation finance, and
nothing that will make such unneces-
sary litigation easier would be well
coined. The establishment Of an Inter
state Trade Commission has been in
general approved. IN so far as it was
TO continue the work Of Attorney Cen
eral McReynolds in preventing hostile
suits and in telling corporations how
to comply with the law. The extent TO
which publicity is 10 be carried has
been left indefinite. Just how well
these new demands. when they appear,
will be received Is a question. Yet the
railroads have generally found that
publicity has been an aid 10 their man
agement as well as 10 their sharehold-
ers, and the greatest Industrial cor
poration in this country regularly takes
the public into it's confidence on the
general details OF its business affairs.

which were far from reassuring' ana
the market response 10 their appear
.snce was sharp decline in prices

the disposition among operators and IN

neaceful intentions rather than Of their
fears arising from the manifold restrlc-
lions and rehnements and penalties OF
the bills which are supposed to be
based upon the Presidents general sug-
gestions.
1t is true that the new laws desired
by the President are far from uniVer-
sally accepted as desirable. Only a
few years ago they would have been
described as revolutionary rather than
radical. There are also many who have
felt that fair words count less toward
renewed commercial prosperity than
the concrete changes to be made in the
statutes. Yet there seems much justi-
1cation for those who have been salts
fed with the spirit shown by the Pres
idents words. our statute books, ma
tional. state and municipal. are bur
dened with many laws that affect us
little save as the attitude Of those ON
whom is laid the duty OF enforcing and
administering them brings them into
active use. The Sherman law itself
was enacted in 1890 and under the first
three administrations that had the duty
of applying It civil suits and criminal
proceedings were few. So, If the ad-
rninistration will continue to desire the
commercial prosperity Of the country
and to feel that those responsible for
the conduct Of the cOuntry's great en-
terprises are desiring to meet the Sow
ernments wishes, new and more dras-
tic legislation is not so greatly feared

New School at Wolfsville

The Board OF County School Commits
sioners have asked architect B. Evard
kepner, of this city, to prepare plans
for the new building. which the board
will erect at Wolfsvlle this summer
School Commissioner Oscar B. Coblentz
stated that the new building will contain
four rooms, and be of brick. The plan
is to have the whole lower floor, or base
ment, finished and made into one large
assembly room. for the school, or for
community uses. 1t is estimated that
the new building will cost between $1,000
and $4,000. Mr. Coblentz stated that
while he is unable TO say when the plans
will be ready for bidding, yet it is the
plan Of the School Board to endeavor to
have the building ready for occupancy
by about the first Of November.
The residents of Wolisvile have been
clamorng for new building for several
years, and the scholars have been quar-
tered in old and unsuitable rooms.

Improve Your Strain
of Tomato Seed
Make Selections From Your own Stock
For Higher Production.
J. F. MONROE.
Maryland Agricultural College.

Study your tomato plants while work
ing among them, with view to select
ing several for seed purposes. Set a
stake beside those plants, which grow
ing under normal field conditions, you
consider ideal as to type. When the
fruit on the these plants is fully ripe,
pick it for seed. There may be a few
of the plants, that have not developed
as you expected. Discard these from
the seed lot sending the fruit to the
factory
Crush the ripe tomatoes in barrel
Or bucket until it is two-thirds full,
then let the pulp stand until it fer
ments This will take from "a to Y
hours, depending upon the tempera-
ture obtained. AS soon as the mass
has fermented, fill the receptacle with
water. Let this settle for an hour or
so the pulp will rise and the seed
sink. Dip the pulp and water off, and
Ill the barrel second time with
water. Let this settle for short time
and pour off TIE seed will be clean.
Pour 1t out on a screen to permit the
surplus water to drain Off Place this
n dry room, where birds and mice
cannot reach it. Leave it for some
time to dry thoroughly. The seed can
then be put in cotton bags, and stored
in some dry room over winter Con-
.inue this selection and you will in
crease the profits from the tomato
crop. There is nothing finer than
clean, homegrown tomato seed.
