PUBLICATION O FICE...ousssnen ..THIRD AND MARKET STREPTS, BAN FRANCISCO R R T o ) TRADE HEAVY, WITHOUT S!éNSATION. MONDAY ARKET conditions last week were practically repetitions of M the preceding three or four weeks. The country seems to be gradually settling down to the summer lull, when business declines to its low ebb over the heated term, a period of some three months. The season, however, is several weeks backward all over the country. Cool weather and excessive rains in some large sec- tions are producing their natural effect by retarding the demand for summer fabrics and rendering crop yields less positive, but the | general situation continues promising. The clearing-house returns from all points continue to show an increase in general trade over last year, the gain last week being 46.9 per cent, with only fifteen out of the ninety cities reporting their clearings exhibiting a loss, and, with the exception of Mil- waukee, which shows the insignificant decrease of 2 per cent, the losses are confined to the third and fourth rate cities and towns. Every one of the large cities has a pronounced gain, such as 63.4 per cent at New. York, 38 at Philadelphia, 33.7 at Pittsburg, 50 at Cin- cinnati, 23.1 at Chicago in spite of the great strike there, and so on. The aggregate clearings themselves were $2,674,000,000, which is over the normal. In other words, the expansion in general trade is ahead of the expansion in population. Our foreign trade is exceedingly heavy, having again touched highwater mar] April merchandise exports réached $129,000,000, or $20,000,000 more than last year. Imports in the same month were $95,500,000, or $12,000,000 greater than last year. The excess of exports was $33,750,000 in April. Of the staples but little can be said. The production of iron and steel is still running high, the output of pigiron in March and | April being at the rate of 24,000,000 tons per year, the heaviest out- | put of any previous year being 18,700,000 tons, in 1903. The tan- ners everywhere report a remarkably urgent demand for leather, and in this market, at least, hides have lately made several advances in consequence. The demand for wool has been so sharp that the California clip has already practically passed into consumption, the quantity left on hand being but a petty percentage of the spring clip, while prices are very high. Stocks of grain have become so de- pleted that here in California there is a scramble for barley, the sup- ply of which is away below the demand, resulting in a violent rise in prices, while spot wheat is in light supply. The oats, like the wool, are practically all gone. The dairy industry is returning large profits to the dairying interest, and has been doing so for half & dozen yea The market for dried fruits has not been so closely cleaned up , and even the prune, which has been selling at and below | juction for several seasons, has advanced at least 50 per | cent in price during the past month, with stocks in the great con- | rkets of New York and London far lighter than for years, rop on this coast is so light as to almost insure much tations this year. Hops are another product high in rning splendid profits to the producer.

In France, however, coquetry is & our country. To us the word implies a attractive or otherwise, according to the personal charms of the It is a subtle invitation to admiration, or even to familiarity. But to the French woman coquetry {8 much more inclusive. Deportment is only one phase of a many-sided art. Clothes, speech, habit of mind, are elements quite as im- portant. Therefore, when Max O'Rell remarked a few years ago that by judicious co- quetry a woman could keep beautiful ana young till 50 years of age, he re- terred to graces of mind and heart, as well as superficial charms. He made the culti¥ation of amiability a factor as well as exercise, diet and care in reégard to the tollet. < To be besutiful, to be charming. to be loved and to love is the French woman's aspiration. She recognizes this as her feminine mission. And her coquetry is but a natural expression of this ambition of hers. Though her interests are domestic, artistic, musical or literary, still she does not lose her amiable desire to please. According. to the French idea, a ma- ture woman, in order to be really beau- tiful, must love, or must have loved—it is love which completes her beauty—it is love which perfects her charm. If she has never knewn love she has never khown life. To be a woman of the world one must have loved—and to be truly Parisian one must be a woman of the world. Love is, however, say the French, a |’ passion which belongs to maturity. To them would be incomprehensible that American type which one of our psy- chologlsts recently exploited, the girl of 16, of good social standing, Who car-sge— ¢ ries on three love affairs at once, corre- sponding with sweetheart No. 1 in sentimental terms, walking to and from blushing whenever he looks at her, and, as soon as the school with.

The young Frénch girl's very inexperience with men makes her more eager to please the flahce who has been selected for her by her family and Her coquetry develops naturally, therefore, and in the most whole- friends. some ‘way.

Russian sentiment has be- | come inflamed by repression, the safety valves of the social system have been screwed down tightly, and it is only the precise date of the explosion that has been at all uncertain. It is strange that events that have been recognized by the whole world as inevitable should occasion any surprise anywhere, even in Russia. In the meantime the outworn, discredited and hateful methods of repression are being once more applied. Russia is being again treated with the hair of | the dog that has bitten her and the flames of revolt are being momen- tarily covered with highly inflammable material. o It would seem as though every nation must pass through its cycle of revolution before it can ‘reach the road of real progress. | It must either sternly assert itself or it must retrograde. France passed triumphantly through her ordeal by fire a century ago. That Russia has delayed it so long is a disquieting indication of the ex- | plosive forces that must have accumulated and that only the wisest | statecraft can congrol. R, In the meantime the issues of the impending naval conflict hang tremulously in the balance. - The result of that conflict may have a decisive influence upon the war itself. Its influence upon the do- mestic war of which we get such lurid glimpses from day to day may be even more decisive. : THE PRESS OF THE NATION.

BCONOMY SOURCE OF ALL WOES. The teaching of children that they must save momney is the source of all e¥ll, and economy is the cause of most human woés. If every child was taught to spienid all the money it could get just as, rapi@ly as possgible, and if every one followed-this idea, every person in the world would have all the comforts and nmiany of the luxuries, want would dis- appear and theft and crime and most of vice would beécome obsolete. .The Bociallst ‘who can persuade the peoplé of the world to erect monuments o ~noted - spendthrifts will establish “immediate” soctalism. fo see how it would work, figure this wdy: Buppose a town of 100 inhabitants, where every one suddenly decided to quit sayifis Money and to Spend all as fast as possible.

AVE you acquired the “just my Iu H happened right for you?’ If this has been your custom, it is make & success of your undertakings. where you are and you will never suc- in to pralse. + Yes, {’o praise. Praise kindles the best in you, compels circumstances to smile and frees you from undesirable condi- _tions. Condemnation paralyzes your faculties, makes circumstances frown and keeps you forever bound to unde- sirable conditions. Therefore, learn to praise. If you have been in the habit of belittling your talents, if you have doubted your capa- city for success, If you have declared yourself poorly qualified to meet the problems confronting you, right about face and take the opposite course. Declare that you are fully able to achieve the things you desire; that you have the gifts and qualities needed for your work; that you are open to inspi- ration and power and that you expect success to come your way. Praise your efforts—not to others, but to yourself. Praige your possibilities and praise the environment which fur- nishes you the materials out of which vou are to create success. Whatever you deglare about yourself becomes a reality. When you say that your abilitles are mediocre, that your efforts are unavailing or that your life is of little use to the world, you create a condition which corresponds to your statements. By your own statements you literally make of vourself a mediocre person and 1imit your usefulness to the world. When you insist upon it that nothing good can come to you, fate takes you at vour word and provides for you just the soxt of conditions you have decreed. You can never be on good terms with “luck” while you persist in prescribing | bad fortune for yourself. “Luck” re- fuses to smile upon such disloyalty.

This ideal of classic times wisely reincarnated in modern Germany to serve a nation’s needs, was transplanted to the United States by the fortune of war. The turner societies aroused some antag- onism, based on the specious clalm that they were an attempt to create a state within a state and to keep the Germans apart from the life around them. This contention was magnificently shattered a little more than a decade after the first turners were organized in this country.
