IoMn,s Natural Advantages.

The little river Arrow-no bigger
than good-sized brook-runS past the
outskirts of the town of Redditch, Eng
land, on its way TO join Shakespeare's
Avon near Bidford, n few miles above
Standardization. Along the bed OF
the Arrow you can find smooth peb-
bles OF a peculiarly hard crystalline
nature; they are known locally us
emery stOnes," and were invaluable
for polishing needles not only when
simple handprocesses were in vogue,
but also for considerable time later.
The makers gave few pence to chill
dren for picking dozen or two out
Of the shadows of the brook. Thus
Redditch could polish its needles more
cheaply than those towns which had
to pay carriage for emery stones, and
upon this tiny detail hinges the de-
velopment of an important British in
dustry.-Christian Science Monitor.

Only a transient slight upturn Of
wheat prices resulted from the cold
wave. Buying quickly subsided when
pointed to absence of seri-
GUS damage. Continuance of hopes
for a settlement Of the British coal
strike tended further to give an ad-
vantage to the bears. and proved much
more than an offset for drought news
from Hungary. Roumania and Bull
garia. Signs of an enlarged domestic
movement from first hands gave an
additional impetus TO the downward
swing, emphasized by big primary re-
ceipts and by reports of a falling off In
demand for flour. July delivery did
not break as fast as May, but both
months finished at about the bottom
figures.
Corn and oats showed stubborn re-
sistance to bear pressure. but finally
gave way in sympathy with wheat.
The firmness of feed grains was ascrio-

oats crop had perhaps been injured
