LIFTING OF EMBARGO
 STIMULANT TO MARKET

New York, Feb. Manufacturers of arms and ammunition report through their representative in New York City that the lifting of the en- bargo, on exportation to Mexico has stimulated the market. No rush is re- ported however. All companies re- port extra inquiries and some orders from border agencies, but it was ex- plained that the merchants of Texas New Mexico, Arizona and California who have been trading with Mexico discounted the action of the Presi- dent. They laid in a. large stock of cartridges and guns month or more ago.
 There will be no trouble for the Constitutiona11sts to purchase an amount of cartridges in this country it is said. Rapid hreguns, automattcs and revolvers will also be available, but when it comes to field artillery there will be some delay Europe sup plies the artillery, except to the United States Army, and it takes from three to six months to fill an order from the other side.

INDUSTRIAL PLANTS
 IN BRIDGEPORT ARE GREATEST IN STATE
Interesting Figures Cited From Grand Lists of the Larger
 Cities.

Just why Hartford and 4NeWsBritain should be batting themselves on the back these days and forming a mutual admiration society to tell each other how many large industries they have upon which to assess taxes is not un- derstood in this City. The JubiIation Of New Britain which now claims as tendency over Hartford does not get by here at all When the individual assessments of corporate interest in New. Britain is compared to those of BridgepoEt, New Britain gets the ice water pitcher at once.
 Hartford boasts of many large In- surance companies including the Travellers, assessed at $2s27z .0O0;y the zConneeticut Mutual, $1s s4eO,O 900; as well as such enterprises as Pratt &s Whitney, s1,383, ,036; Pope. Manufac ! turing Company, $1s3I6.1 59 the Dr4 derwood Typewriter Company, T 26,- 400; Brown-Thompson & Company s1,163, 700; Hartford Electric Light, 1,1s6, ,S00
 New Britain puts forth her claims for ascendency upon the Stanley Rule & Level Company, $2.541. 300; theeP. & F. Corbdn Hardware Company, $2,- ss2.680; Landers. Frary & Clark, ST. 879, 800; The Stanley Works, $1, ,705,- 3 %; Corbin Cabinet Lock. $1.3Ss. 300; i; eCorbin Screw Company. S1,6 900 ; Russell & Irwin, $1, 56, 900; and Amer Ican Hosiery. s1,ooo.Oo0.
 But when Nit comes to talking real millions Bridgeport comes to the front. eclipsing life insurance co1npa- nies and all with the Crane Waive Company assassrnent Of g, ,S63, ,969. This is also followed by the D. M. C. Company taxed at the smaller amount of $2,700, 72S, still aheadof either oth- CT city, and while still wandering in the two millions the Bridgeport Gas Light Compaiy dalies with $2,227,635. Those who can play with only one million or more are the American Tube & Stamping Company, $1,372,7 262; Bridgeport Hydraulic Company, s1. 1885, s29; Bridgeport Brass Com pany, $1,18e.091; Warner Brothers Company, s1,351,745; Eocom obile Company, S1.O35.7o8; and the United illuminating Company, $1,066, 745-
 With the nine companies here rec- orded New Britain is distanced so that it seems hardly necessary to mention the almost interminabIe list of others which could swell the grand total and put both Hartford and New Britain in the shade. Bridgeport is the manu- featuring city of Connecticut.

SOME INTERESTING NOTES

Among the fanciers of fine poultry in the valley is Colonel Charles w. Harris who is also the adjutant general Col. Harris has some fine specimens of Black Minorcas. prize winning birds, as the illustration will show. He also has the only pen of English Red Tops west of the Rocky Mountains. These birds seem to thrive in the alfalfa and from their looks are good stock.
 For many years the idea of any use ever being made out of the COG kle burr has been guffawed out of countenance, but comes one l.. w. Alexander, on his place near Tempe, a.d he actually grows cookie burrs and i.isles them useful. The idea is his. The cookie burr is swiftly growing pant with large leaves that pr vide cool shade places for little chickens when the plants are small and for larger ones as they grow large. Tie burrs need no cultivation anl as soon as they look like going to seed tiey are cut down and burn ed and efofe long more little green p.4Ets come up in their place.

Marketing Poultry and
 Eggs

The State of Arizona itself presents one of the finest markets for poultry and eggs imaginable The immense mining camps of the state where are found thousands of men every year burrowing the riches from the inner earth for the glory and prosperity of the state. These miners and their families and the persons who are gathered into the communities where the miners live by reason of the com merce they demand all have to be fed These immense camps such as Bisbee and vicinity, Clifton, Morenci Globe, Ray, and many others demand eggs and poultry more than the state can supply. Every year hun eggs from the cold storage houses of the east and south are contributed to the succulent ham an" of the miners or his cakes and desserts.
 This market has scarcely been touched. There exists an opportunity to supply the eggs and poultry to these camps thSt is now being sup piled by the cold storage eggs of other sections. These eggs always bring a good price in the market, and be it known that what of the valley eggs that do reach these towns are grabbed up in hurry for their freshness is known to exceed that of the storage eggs from the eask Eggs and poultry can be ship ped from the Salt River Valley and reach any part of the state inside of two days on the road. One man in the valley reported last week that he averaged twenty-five cents dozen Tor eggs. This is a big price. In some sections of the United States there is great profit on eggs at a much lower figure.
 There is not much danger of the figure falling below the twenty cent mark on an average for the entire years output for the demand instead of becoming less so that the egg is a drug on the market, becomes greater and more insistent every year

ideal time for raising little chickens. Young birds reach frying size in pos sibly shorter time here than any where else in the whole west The advantage in favor of the chicks is that there is no wet weather to speak of to retard their growth and to drown off so many of them as in the case of less favored climates. They can live out of doors and get plenty of green feed in addition to grain.
 With the growth of the young birds the demand for the fryer comes and it can be said without fear of con- tradition that the demand for the frying chicken. big yellow legged sweat meated fellow, is always d way under the supply,
 Then there is another demand that has grown up for Salt River Valley chickens and that is the well bred egg machines of chickens that can be matched here and grown to good size quickly and sent to other com munities and sold at a good profit
