Famous Stone has Permanent
Home

Eensinston Rune stone, one or the
oldest documents Of American ms
tory, over which scientists OF TWO
continents debated as to its genuine
ress more than 20 Yeas ,so now mas
q permanent home on the farm OF
III. r. Holland, author. rear Ephrlam'
Mich.
Several Societies and .minent au-
thorities have classed the stone as
authentic as to discovery and con :
text, and say it proves to them tl1at
there were white people explor!nS
the interior Of America as early as
1862.
The Kensington Rune Stone. So
called because Of its discovery on the
farm of Olaf Gilman. near Kensing-
ton, Minnesota, when found was en-
circled by the roots OF q tree AMI
appeared to be very ancient in
character. IT carried ii date OF more
than eight hundred years in the past.
The assumption Of scientists is that
the stone was inscribed by early
Norsemen who landed in America
in search Of fellow count1ymen.
How the stone came to find a rest
ing place in Minnesota has been a
matter of conjecture for many years,
but the generally accepted theory is
that it was carried down in a glacial
drift from the region of Hudson Bay.

Americans Not Heavy Tea.Drinkers

Americans Not Heavy Tsa.Drinkers
For years it has been matter OF
record that Americans drink less tea
per capita than any other English
speaking people. With this fact be-
fore them, the worlds largest tea
growing interests have been making
an experiment in the direction of in
creasing local consumption by widely
advertising the merits of tea as a
beverage. Probably very few of our
readers know that Uncle Sam is Very
particular about the quality of his
tea. Every year board of tea eX-
perts in the Department Of Agricul-
ture approves standards for six diff
ferent types of leaves which are
commonly usel in this country.
namely, Formosa Oolong. Congou,
Young Hyson (sreen.) Japan. Scent
ed Orange Pekoe and Scented Can
ton. The samples of each variety
prepared by government officials are
distributed to tea examiners at the
rorts of entry. Tea that docs not
measure up to them in quality. pur-
itv and fitness for consumption is not
permitted to enter. In the matter OF
quality and cost American consum-
ers have an advantage over tea
drinkers in other parts Of the world.
It remains to be seen whether our
comparative indifference to it is due
to n habit of mind or to some less
obvious reason that so far has eluded
vestigation.-From The Designer

The non-ferTous metals OF cop

The Textile Industries
The textile industries are in better
position and operators in a much
more hopeful state of mind than
they have been for many months.
In cotton goods the situation ap-
parently has reached a fairly com
Portable degree OF stability. The last
government estimate of the cotton
crop is just under $4,000, 900 bales.
the fine Fall weather having added
several hundred thousand bales to
earlier estimates. This affords a
reasonably good working supply OF
raw material for the intustrv, for
it covers the probable demand, al
though with little TO spare. The
price over the last two weeks has
hung around "a cents per pound on
the December option. and there has
been 4 pronounced revival of inter-
est in cotton goods. Stocks in mer-
chants hands have been low, but
mills have been accommodating more
or less stable holdings. under the
necessity Of giving their employees
something TO do. They made up
goods when they could not buy
cotton and sell goods to come out
even. and this has been the situa-
ton for many months.
The change which has come over
the goods market in the last three
weeks has made it possible to move
many Of these goods without loss.
and IN many instances the owners
have been ready to part with them
on that basis. In other words. the
hrst big step OF improvement has
been to get upon a break-cven basis.
and now they are beginning to see
their way TO making a little profit.
All OF the staple cotton goods are
in better demand and have sustained
price-advances. The improved 20
sition seems to be weil-supported
by all the conditions. The carry
over OF raw cotton IS relatively
small, when Consideration is given
to the improved prospects for de-
mand at home and abroad, and this
strengthens the inclination OF deal
ers to buy freely.

trial centcrs. The Bryan campaign
was much like the La Toilette cam
paign in general appeal and objcc-
tives, but carried particular men,
ace in its threat against the coun-
trys monetary system. The defeat
OF Bryan did not alter existing con-
ditions, but it gave protection
against the proposed legislation,
which the business community re-
garded with apprehension, the eco
nomic situation gradually righted
itself. and the country entered upon
the greatest decade OF prosperity it
had ever known.
1t is noteworthy that revival did
not follow immediately after the
election in 1896. although the cleo
ton undoubtedly was very i'm
portant factor in it when it came.
The depression continued through
1897 and was not entirely over Tin
til about 1899. The low prices for
farm products had come about
through the opening OF new agri-
cultural territory by railroad con-
struction, not only in this country
but in Argentina, Australia and Rus
STA. The depression in this coun-
try was due in part also to the
reaction which followed a period of
land and transportation. accom-
panied by over-oonstruction and I'M
due expansion OF credit in numerous
cities OF the west. In the five years
10000 the average production Of
corn iii this country per year was
about 1,650.000. GOO bushels. and then
in the next three years it was about
$500, 10000 bushels. This increase
broke the price OF corn. and wheat
values were affected by increased
production rot only in this country
but in the countries named above
No governmental policies could
remedy this situation; the normal
balance between supply and demand
had 10 be restored.
The great war stimulated an in
crease Of agricultural production,
which resulted, after Europe re-
turned TO peace-time production. in
low prices, from which there has
been a pronounced recovery in the
past six months. If this recovery
is permanent, the entire business
situation should mend more rapidly
than was the case in 1860. There
is good reason to expect that this
will be the case.
The Hardware Age says that or
ders now being received for hard
ware for Spring delivery are in
excess of those received at this time
