ST. LOUIS AS A FISH MARKET.

Although located hundreds of miles from any large body of water St. Louis is of the largest inland wholesale fish and sea food distributing Census of Distribution figures
 As a matter of fact St. Louis is the second largest inland fish distributing center in the United States. According to census figures, the wholesale business in this commodity amounts to nearly $3,- 100000 annually. Chicago, which however is To- cated large body of water, ranks first as an inland fish distributing center.
 The St. Louis News Service" issued by the St Louis Chamber of Commerce, discussing that great City a center for the distribution of fish says:
 w A. Meletio, President of one of the largest fish distributing companies in the Middle West located here points out that fish in as large varieties and in virtually fresh conditions that in any seaboard city can be obtained here
 Fish and seafood, he says, is shipped to St. Louis from such countries as Canada Norway Ireland, Scotland and Holland Great quantities also imported from Alaska to be distributed throughout the United States from St. Louis and shipments for the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific coasts and the Great Lakes arrive daily to be stored, repacked and reshipped sold in St. Louis.
 Members of the industry attribute this city's rapid growth in the last few years as seafood distributing center despite it's inland location, to modern developments in refrigeration and to the fact that St Louis is centrally located and has the second larg- est railroad system in the country emanating from it to give quick delivery to all parts of the Middle West and Southwest.

The lady of the house. may be the outstanding factor as far as the grocer the butcher and the baker are concerned but the drug store is predom- inatey mans institution, according to preliminary data presented to approximately 600 leaders in the wholesale and detail drug industry from all parts of the country at the National Drug Survey Conference held recently in St Louis.
 Preliminary facts reveal that twice as many men women enter the average drug store, and that contrary to general belief the mems purchases do not consist chiefly of tobacco newspapers and maga-

CHAPTER 12. IN THE PAPERS

"Oh, I gave him our names, of course" Carelessly Georgie led the day out into the hall and Jenny could not see her face, but she thought there was suspic- ion of hurry in her voice as she chattered on. T phoned Rochester Gate, too but the Old Man hasn't wanted me; I said I'd be back by four. We can just do it. I've got a taxi waiting"
 "A taxi-!" Jenny was at loss. But we've can't leave Eddie"
 "Of course we can"
 Without even asking how he is how much he is hurt?"
 You goose!" Georgie's gloved fingers flecked against her cheek, I've been upstairs talking to the head nurse and the doctor While you went on setting obediently where they'd put you, made all arrangements. It doesn't pay to wait till people remember you, you know-you do better to be a bit of a nuisance sometimes"
 But how is Eddie?"
 Full of cuts and bruises and a bit dazed-oh yes, quite conscious. Very much alive, excited, in fact. Guiding Jenny into the waiting taxi, Georgie giggled softly-ohe giggle Jenny didn't like. He was talking loudly about getting back to my wife's apartment'-I heard him from the hall. So I slithered away before the nurses curiosity overpowered her altogether. |. Eddie's to join us tomorrow. You'll see, hell be none the worse. Ev- erything will go according to my plan-rny plan-after all
 Jenny was silent. The taxi had moved off and a cool wind was on her face. It seemed to be blow ing right into her heart She was conscious of immense fatigue-very near collapse-a terrible longing to cry and cry.
 T suppose I'm an alarmiSt," she admitted. She tried to forget that glimpse of the inquisitive clerk from the office dropping, with ears pricked, off his bus and mingling with the crowd on the pavement.
 Georgie had lit a cigarette and was smoking it, rather fast. All the ambler gleams were dancing in her eyes and under the rouge her color was returning.
 Don't worry Jen! You know, I always have luck"
 Evening again. Long shadows of the street and high up in a walled sky, the white little moon. This time yesterday Jenny had bowed to that little moon.
 She closed the house-door be- hind her and turned left down Eyle Street. At a distant corner a boy was crying his papers. Get them on your way to your hotel. Jenny" Georgie had commanded her, triumphantly brandishing those already brought upstairs by the superintendent-get any I haven't here, will you?-and phone me if you find details given that aren't in these. There's net a word here beyond MT. Eddie Townsend, driv- ine with friends I knew it'd be all right. I always have luck5
 Jenny went slowly along the pavement. She was almost limp ing. Perhaps her feet had been

KENNECOTT TO ABSORB NEVADA
 CONSOLIDATED.

According to the Boston News Bureau the Kenne colt Copper Corporation is about to absorb tn Nevada Consolidated Company. The consolidation will be effected by trading share of Kennecot for two shares of Nevada Consolidated. The following statement, covering the situation was issued:
 The Kennecott Copper Corporation an- nounces an offer to the holders of stock oi Nevada Consolidated Copper Company to receive tenders for exchange of the capital stock of that company for shares of the capital stock of the Kennecott Copper Cor poration on basis of two shares of Nevada for each of Kennecott For purpose of &C., cepting such your shares of the capital stock of Nevada Consolidated should be de- posted with the treasurer of Kennecott Cop per Corporation on and after May l2 1892 prior to June IS, 1882
 For many years Kennecott Copper Cor poration through it's subsidiary, the Utah Copper has been in control of Nevada Con- solidated through ownership of a very large number of shares of it's capital stock. The operations have been under the agement and the corporations have con ducted sales through the same selling agencies
 The Boston News Bureaus account of the proposi tion continues:
 At the annual meeting President Birch said that after the consolidation of Kenne- colt and Nevada there would be outstand- ing approximately 10,734OOO shares of Ken necott assuming complete conversion against 9,394,000 shares at present
 MT. Birch said that after giving effect to the consolidation of Kennecott and Ne vada the combined companies would have in cash, marketable securities mainly govern ments and sold and unsold copper with un- sold copper at 5l2 cents pound, over $50, 100000 equal to about $5 a share. Book value would be about $30 share.
 MT. Birch said that since January 1 operations of the company have about broken even. Output has been curtailed and, naturally, costs have gone up somewhat. He said that since the first of the year mine output of copper has been slightly less than shipments, indicating that consumption is somewhat above world output. Recovery in copper, he added must depend on an m- provement in general business. He stated, in answer to a question regarding the pro- posed tariff on copper that the position of the corporation has been neutral

 Well, Georgie wouldn't have wanted him to talk to her tonight ! Or tomorrow either or for the next ten days, when Eddie would hold Iall her thoughts. But one couldn't explain that. It would be unkind. IBesides-Jenny put hand to her head-it would be giving away the secret. She said finally Have you time to drive me to my hotel? It's just around this corner. I'm staying there.

Reactions from Changes.
(Prince Rupert News)

Quite often various changes seem very desirable but different reactions follow In the United States today it seems desirable to curb the craze for gambling on the stock exchange If they do this the business is likely to be transferred to Montreal and if Montreal refuses to handle the business it will go to Mexico
 When the framers of the dry laws in the United States secured the constitutional changes nobody thought it would lead to laWeSsness such as has followed.
 So in almost all the experimental legislation everywhere, the reactions have been unexpected and in many cases the experimental legislation has had to be repealed. Abuses spring up and unex- pected results follow
