A Falling Market.

When Judge Lands of Chicago tried
TO sell the eighty mine licenses OF the To-
setti Brewing company, bankrupt, he
found that such commodities were a
drug on the market. One purchaser Of
fered 81, 200 but this, the only offer
made, was refused. A year ago licenses
brought $4,000 to $4,000. The reason
for this decrease in value is said to be
fear Of successful local prohibition legis-
lation. The entire liquor forces seem to
be looking forward with just reason to
future stringent restrictions to their
business. Judge Lands closed all the
saloons owned by this brewing company
from Saturday night at midnight until .
O'Clock Monday morning, observing and
giving force to the Sunday closing law OF
Illinois.

Some Of the largest newspapers use
the wood from 10000 acres Of spruce
every year for their paper, therefore
plete destruction of the spruce must
result unless some substitute is put to
use, says current paragraph. No
doubt the enormous consumption OF
spruce for paper is an argument for for
est conservation, but the paragraph
quoted is a plain instance Of jumping at
a conclusion. 1t leaves out of account
entirely the fact that spruce grows.
whether it grows fast enough is another
question.
