Fluctuation In currant Trsa,,

Hollands tulip craze recalls the
rush which developed in Greece some
thing like thirty-five years ago, when
landowners staked their all on the flu
ture of currants. After the vineyards
OF France had been. ravaged by phyl-
loxera, there sprang up great de-
mand from that country for Greek
currants to be used in wine-making,
and prices scared to heights never be
fore known In the currant trade. I'm
der this stimulus Greek landowners
all through the currant-producing
provinces uprooted their olive groves
and planted the lands to currants, un-
til within few years the acreage had
far more than doubled. Then France,
having found means to combat the
phylloxera, placed upon currants a
prohibitive import duty, thereby per-
manently shutting off from Greek cur
rant growers the market whose de-
mands had stimulated them to in
creased production. Immediate sup
ply overtopped demand In the worlds
currant market-this district, which
supplies the worlds currarts, was pro-
ducing 80 per cent more fruit than
1t could dispose of. Prices fell pre-
cipitately, and for decades the currant
trade was in a bad condition.

Admiral Won Tirpitz, at the head of

path of navalism in 1898. He has lit

garded social graces as desirable at
tributes of men who expect to fight
the kaiser's battles on sea-" His rise
has been rapid. At twenty he was a
lieutenant, and twenty years after en-
tering the navy he was flying the PEN
nant Of rear admiral. He first at
tracted the attention of the kaiser by

also instrumental in establishing the

Although the cardboard boxes are
