Russia's Ancient Inhabitants

Considerable attention has been
given the interior of Asia as the pos
sible birthplace Of man. Traces of
ancient roads and trails as well as
iinding of crude implements of man
indicate that he may have lived
there prior to ancient Rome and la
ter migrated elsewhere. There is
evidence that some of these people
followed a northern course through
Russian territory and across Siberia
into oblivion. They may have
crossed to the American mainland
by water, however, or by an over
land passage believed to have once
existed. This happened a few mil
lion years ago and a close study of
this Siberian trail has never been
made.-Pathfinder Magazine.

TO further quotations for wheat, corn,

cline in hogs and lambs.

hides losing y cent. Normally sea-
sonal price weakness features the hide
market between the months of Feb
ruary and April.
Non-ferrous metals represent one
OF the four groups that averaged high
er during the week. Quick silver
climbed TO new high and advances
we're recorded in silver and tin as
we'll as antimony.
Paint materials were higher due
entirely to further price strength In
rosin and turpentine.

time since December %, 1893. The
reaction was extremely small and due
to slight declines in cotton and silk
