Since the foreign trade of the
United States is about onetwelfth OF
that of the entire world, and since
both exports and imports serve the in
terest of our international neighbors
and ourselves, it would seem that
some method should be devised of ar
irving at friendly adjustment of
commercial relations without resort to
extreme discrimination, possibly lead
ing to trade wars
Retail Business Satisfactory.
Merchandise sales for the month of
September have shown steady in
crease, and it is plain from the re-
turns made that abnormal prices in
force have failed to restrict consump
ton. Commission merchants and sell
ing agents express surprise over the
actual amount of business put through,
where they have had an opportunity
to check up their sales and make COM
parsons with previous months. With
marked prosperity in evidence
throughout many sections of the coun-
try, the buying power OF consumers
has increased to certain extent.
This has given buyers confidence in
their ability to market merchandise,
in spite of the high prices they must
ask.
Continued advances in the cotton
goods branch Of the textile markets
would give the impression to the or
binary consumer that cottons were
the only goods on which steady adj
vances are being made. Cotton goods
were about the last textile fabrics to
feel the shar" increase in production
costs so far as selling prices were
concerned Even at new levels named,
many lines of finished goods are not
as yet on a parity with the initial pro-
duction costs. Competition is always
keen on staple cottons and manufac-
turers, as we'll as selling agents. have
| been forced to move cautiously in adj
vancing their prices. AS a result, the
increasing prices have failed in many
instances to keep pace with produc-
ton costs.
| The grain markets have shown con-
siderable activity, but the predictions
of higher prices for wheat and corn
so generally made one month ago
have not yet been fulfilled The gen.
eral tendency OF the wheat trade at
the present time seems to be toward
lower prices. This feeling is due in a
great measure to the belief that pres
ent available supplies are too big to
permit any great advance in values
and that the shortage in the worlds
supplies must become more apparent
before the market will attract general
buying.
The ever-present fear that the wal
in Europe will come to sudden hall
or that something will occur to re.
lease the vast stocks of Russian
wheat is doing much to prevent gen
eral participation in the grain specu
lative markets; furthermore, it is no.

should cheese it, i. e. set it on the
stove and separate the whey from the
curd and season the curd and make
a sort of Dutch cheese of it. You do
not tell me your own age, and that
point must be supplied before l can
answer intelligently. If you are
twenty, or more, let the little girl
alone. If you are sixteen or eighteen,
let me stagger suggestion to you:
Don't write very much. l heard of a
man who came running home to his
wife one day and asked her if she
still had his love letters. He had
just killed man and was looking up
evidence to show that he was insane,
and his letters were wanted for that
purpose. Don't spatter too much of

will you please print in your space
the legend of Saint Neosho?" Answer:
l would if l could find it. There is
no record of this legend, but in order
to satisfy you l will write it originally.
We will say for instances, that in the
seventh century there were two
maiden ladies chummed together
They were virtuous and good, but
one day Neosho's chum discovered
that she herself would pick up every
little article she found, i. e., snipe it.
She did all this stealing with her right
hand. To offset Neosho's churm's
thieving propensities, Neosho herself
could hardly ever tell the truth. The
ohum (whose name | do not recalD
went to the priest and confessed her
thieving proclivities. The priest told
her to 60 to the ice cold fountain and
hold her thieving arm down deep in
the freezing fluid until the flesh was
frozen to the bone She did SO and
she never picked up another article
that did not belong to her. The chum
told her experience to Neosho.
Neosho, recalling her own lying dis
position, stole silently away from her
chum and was never again seen alive.

Business and Finances
BY w. S. Cousins, Editor American Banker.

New York, October 7.-During the
past few weeks no less than four i'm
portant conferences of the financial
leaders of the United State have been
held in as many strategic centers,
and while recognizing the tremendous
increase in the wealth and producing
capacity of this great country, COM
mercial and Investment bankers are OF
the opinion that the time is most or-
perfume for sounding a note OF warn
ing that shall be heard in every cor
ner of the land Speculation in New
York and many other of the largest
exchanges is being carried on to an
excessive degree by many who do not
understand the first principles of the
rules under which they are operating
or appreciate the real worth of the Sc
curities for whcih they are bidding e.i-
tremely high prices. The general dis
satisfaction of labor, based upon an
inaccurate conception of economic
conditions, now threatens serious in
conveniences not only to business and
industry as a whole, but also to the
general public and to those who are
dependent unon the daily returns OF
labor for the necessities of life. Just
at present old Father Knickerbocker
is wrestling nightly with this huge
problem, and upon its proper solution
will depend the peace and comfort OF
the largest community in the United
States.
Speculation.
Turning to the field of speculation
we find distinctly outlined policy on
the part of the banking institutions
and the important brokerage houses
to advise caution on the part of the
public. 1t is singular that while pro-
fessional traders are selling. the pub
lice is buying ON very large scale
and advancing prices fail to exercise
any restraining influence upon them
The world is now thinking and acting
in billions, and the conservatism o.
the old countries is swamped by ne
cessity, while in this country it Is
swept aside by the sudden influx o
great riches and the almost Unsuitable
desire to get rich quick while there
is opportunity. Many people believe
that these harvest days will not be o
very long duration. and this may &C
count to some extent at least tor th'
evident rush and hurry Of speculator'
to "get theirs" and Get it NOW.
Prosperity has been so sudden, 81
huge and so widespread that it appall
the timid by it's magnitude, and ha
swept ave., for the time the conserva
tive methods employed by men at
flashed to sound business ideas ant
careful seekers of definite results. vi
the other hand, prices of many com
modities have so risen that what ma
brought prosperity in some direction
has had the opposite effect for other
and has in reality made them poore
than before. This is especially tn
case in the newspaper industry, whcr
the rising cost of paper and chemical
has proved a heavy handicap to prof
