How many of them employ modern
up to date methods in the conduct OF
their business? Do they advertise in
teIligently and consistently, telling the
public what they have for sale and at
what price? When there is slight
business depression in their town do
they increase their advertising or do
they hurry to the local newspaper and
cut out their ad.?
He Wouldn't Advertise.
BY constant and liberal use of the
advertising columns of the local press
the merchants encourage the editors to
greater effort in providing more and
better local reading matter, and in this
way the advertising worth of the paper
is materially increased, as the arrival
of a paper worth while is always
awaited in the homes of your consum-
ers.

Upon consideration Of the Adam
son law and of what is said of its
practical effect and what was intend
ed to be accomplished by it, the judg-
ment is that, as the Court construes
the terms of the law, it cannot be
sustained. Since both parties have
said they would not plead further,
whatever the decision might be, a
decree will be entered for the plain
tiffs, reciting that the defendant
prays and is allowed an appeal in
open court.
''The case in which the plaintiffs
were appointed receivers is in charge
of the judge who is acting here. An
order will be entered in that case di-
recting plaintiffs and their counsel
to cooperate with the Department OF
Justice in lodging the appeal in the
Supreme Court, by Dec. 4 next, and
in then moving for the advancement
thereof for such early hearing as that
court may find it consistent to grant;
also, to invite counsel for all railroad
companies and others similarly inter-

RUMANIAN LOSS
is HEAVY, SAYS
GERMAN CRITIC

Berlin, Nov 23-The defeat of the
Rumanians in Wallachi, enabling the
Austro-German forces to reach the
railroad from Orsova to Craiova, was
of even more Importance in the Ru-
manian campaign than the breaking
of the Rumanian line in DObrudja, ac-
cording to the military critic of the
Overseas News Agency. With the
battle at Tingugiu1iz on Nov. l8, he
says, the Rumanian campaign entered
ON new phase.
''This advance to the railroad was
carried out with energy and speed"
he continues, land the Rumanians
were flung through the door to the
Wallachian plains.
"In October there was q violent
struggle in northern Rumania for the
key position in the Pennsylvania
mountains, but after the passes were
forced, the pressure of the central
powers increased from day to day
with an extension of the front all
through the Moldavian mountains
and the Wallachian Carpathians as
far as Orsova."
After describing the Austro-Ger-
man advance, through the mountain
passes, the military critic continues:
IH0 fIuInanldu5 OlISICu Luc IUOSG
tenacious resistance and made violent
counter-attacks, especially in Pre-
deal Pass, north of Campulung, in
Rothenburm Pass and the jul val
ley. But all those desperate efforts
fices, without bringing them even 10
cal gains and the advance of the Ger
mans and Austrians were more sue
cessful every day.
"On Nov. Is the Rumanian de-
Tense in the jul valley gave way and
the Rumanians were DEBATED decisive
ly, suffering extraordinarily heavy
losses. The victorious troops of the
central powers followed up their sue
cess at once and, Notwithstanding the
immense difficulties Of the snow-cov-
cred roads, which were hardly prac-
ticable for marching and were i'm
possible for cars, they broke into the
Wallachian plain. A Rumanian
counter advance from the east had
no effect on the decisive battle.
cit is worthy of remark that the
Rumanian civilian population, excited
by the defeat, took part in the fight
ing. The troops frequently were fired
on from ambush.
1.-The railroad line between Orsova
and Craivoa having been cut, the Ru
manian units fighting at Orsova have
lost their only line of retreat. The
German army command reports that
from Nov. until Nov. Is, 1879 offic.
ers, 1888 men, 26 cannon and II
machine guns were captured. In
view of the gigantic Rumania losses
in Dobrudja and Pennsylvania, this is
a heavy blow. By comparison the
breaking Of the enemy's line in WAL
lachi dwindles into insignificance."

GERMAN DUMPING
BUGBEAR

(New York Journal Of Commerce.
A recent statement Of the Amer
lean Association Of Commerce and
Trade of Berlin, in it's Weekly Re-
port, was directed to the explosion
of the often exploited bugbear that
Germany is accommodating a surplus
stock OF cheap goods which are la
BILE to be dumped" upon the Amer
lean market as soon as her people
get done fighting on the territory of
her neighbOrS. The facts which it
states are in accordance with what
is naturally to be supposed from the
exercise of plain common sense.
Speaking of the "rumors' abroad
that vast army of ill-paid old
men, women and children" are kept
at work on cheap goods for export,
which are stored up to be launched
when the war is over, it says that
they are based on INSTRUMENTATION.
We supposed that they f1oated on
the wings of imagination.
The report says that the supply of
labor is insufficient to produce
enough for home consumers, in adj
dition to supplies for the armies, and
that instead Of wages being low for
producing cheap wares, they have
apnOrmally increased in proportion
to the increased cost of living OF
articles of iron and steel, including
hardware and household goods, there
are hardly enough to meet the do
nestle demand and practically all or
ders from neutral counties have been
cancelled. Regarding dyestuffs, it is
said that their prices have risen, the
manufacturers having diverted their
activity to producing other chemicals
and drugs and explosives for home
consumption on account of the war
demand. So Of textiles, owing to the
lack of raw materials, the shortage
OF labor and their absorption for
armies, there is a decided shortage.
There is said to be mot one single
industry for which conditions are
such as to make it possible for it to
turn out goods to be stored and sent
abroad after the war.
This is quite what was to be ex-
pected and it will become more 50
the longer the conflict lasts. Then
what? There is another delusive
bugbear in the assumption that after
millions of the best workers have
been slain or MANNED. capital has
