G0C0 SHOEING MADE IN NOVEMBER

Oraeepteg aad Dry Goods Also
Pirn, kat Teadeney of Hard
ware Beams Dowaward,
Christmas trade la now In full swing with
Omaha Jobbers and the volume Is reported
unusually la,ge. The demand for staple
lines Is also very good for even this tune
of year and as a result wholesalers are
having about all the business they ran
comfortably handle. The cold weather is,
of course, responsible In a large measure
for the active demand for staple and
seasonable linen, as retailers are experienc
ing a very nice demand and their stocks are
going to pieces at a rapid rate.
Regarding the volume of business for
November, the general report from both
wholesalers and ina luf.iotunrs Is that they
cold more goods than aver before during
that month. The advance bualni ss in par-,
tlcular was 'aigs, as the healthy condi
tion of the market on most lines, together
with the favorable outlook for a good trade
In the sp.lng, has made ret.tllers more will
ing thun usual to place tbelr orders at a
early date.
Owing to the-Improved retail trade
throughout the country, collections are re
ported much better than they have been
at any time this fall. Retailers are now
meeting their obligations promptly and the
report le that JobTeis have very few poor
accounts on their ledgers.
The markets have fluctuated durlnr the
week fully as much as usual, but th're
seems to be a sirong undertone to the
market on moat lines, wth prospect favor
ab a for firm prloea ru li B for some time to
come. In fact. It Is predicted with a great
deal of conlldt rice tnat higher prices are
sure to ru:e in many cases at no niatant
djte and for that rs-son It Is argued that
merchants are making no n lst 'ke In antici
pating their requ iement at present prices.

Wholesale grocers report the volume ot
buMn ss for the week under review excep.
tionaliy heavy for even this season of the
year. The demand for Christmas lines In
particular shows a good giin over last
year. Quite u few Important changes have
gone Into effect and among them is a aharp
advance In the price of sugar the first ot
the we."k. The market continues strong,
with an ..pward tendency and Indications
are such that silll higher prices In the near
future would cauae no surprise to those
let posted. Some of the refineries have
Withdrawn from the rmirket, as present
prlc-ea will not Justify sales.
The coffee market is excited and every
day shows aft advance of from 16 to 25
polntn. The general market la from a to
a higher than a week ago and large buy

Brusll Is reported very excited and nervous.

ln the week under review, btif at the
a.ime time the demand Is very heavy anl j

Cottan Goods Contlan Very ttrona.
The market for all kinds of cotton gocds
is still Ih a very strong position and In
view nf the excited condition of the mar
ket for raw cotton And the sharp advances
tne prospects ot lower prices or tne man-
faotured goods are very small. Those beat
ne ted say that the marV.et is bound to
hold fully up to Its present basla for a
year or until the next crop of cotton la
available. Not only that but Indications
could not be more favjrable for consider
ably higher prices ruling on a number of
lines. Not only are prices Arm, but It looks
as though spring and summer lines wpuld
pe even herder to get than they were Inst
season, wnicn is saying a good oeai. inis
being the situation, Jot,'.-; say It a no
wonder that retallero a;o MtUclpatlng the r
wants more than usual t J that their ad
vance orders are so far ahead of last year
that there' la no comparison. Up to the
present time jobbers have broken all pre
vious records for the volume of advance
prdera for spring and the principal reason
they tnink la tne upward tendency pr tne
market and the probable shortage of de
sirable lines.
in speaking or tne demand ror spring
dress goods, a local Jobber aald that heavy
woven wash fabrics are In very strong de
mand for the eeason of 1904, and certain
desirable thlncs cannot be had at any
price, even at this early date, owing to the
aot tnat tne total proauciion or tne
mill
pas been sold. Some very pretty work In
printed fabric for spring fa also proving
Verv noDular with the trade
In the line of woolen goods, mohair and
Sicilian In black, cream and color and
also In metal printed effects, are In very
heaw demand and no doubt will be more
rendv sellers this coming season than ever
perore. Neat rancy effects in wool r a ones
are ilro very good. Present Indication
are t"nt voile nd twines for next spring
will be taken more reaony tnan in any
previous season. If that Is the case there
will be an exceptionally heavy demand
for silks to be used for drop skirts and
linings for those material.
rio rar a immediate nusinesa win local
jobbers Is concerned they say they are
floina a much business a couia ne ex
peeted at this time of the year, but they are
ot course devoting ine most or tneir at
tention to advance buslnss and are meeting
with much better success tnsn anticipated
Bailwsrs m Llttla Lower,

tional changes In th hardware market the

orrugatea siding ana ceiling is another
line which Is being quoted lower then It
waa a short Urn ago. Sheet slno ha also
been reduced In price, the reason given
being Increased competition among the
manufacturers. Galvanised eava trough
and conductor I also a littles lower, but
wagon atock 1 higher and atlll further
advance would cause no surprise.
Tnese are some oi tne more important
changes which hav gone Into effect of
late. While they are not at all radical
they nevertheleas show the weakness in
the aeneral situation.
Kesardlna- the condition or trade local
jobber say tnat tne com weatner I mak
lng all seasonable lines move very freely,
There Is also a brisk trade on all Christ-
ma goods and, In fact, that feature of
the trade Is better than ever before.
Probable Advaaee la Rahfcera,
Th general opinion among local rubber
goods men is that January 1 will bring
an advance In the Drtce of rubber foot
wear. Just bow much It will amount to
Is simply guess work. Borne think per
cent will cover It, while If It amounted
to 10 per cent a good many would not be
at all surprised. Some Jobber are looking
for a chmge In the list price, while other
think there will aim ply be change in
discounts. But whatever th changu may
be everyone seems to agree that It Will
pe an aavance.
Owlnn to this situation Jobbers are look
lng for retailers to anticipate their want
much a possible hetwaen now and the
first ot the year. Tne oola weather o
courae has stimulated the rubber business
very materially and Jobbare hav had
about all the business they could attend
to during tne last week or more.
In leather good there is nothing par
ticularly new to report. Th demand I
brisk a could be expected end edvanre
orders are cMtnlng In very freely, much
iKitter. in fact, than they were a year ag

Th demand for fruit and vegetable

opened and Jobtera are looking for a ruali
lng business from now until Christmae.
There have not been many changes In
ruling prices, but those that have gone
Into effect will be found In another column.
Christmas treea and decorations are now
en sale, and the local stock Is said to be
Very large and complete.
The supply of poultry was very large

Hundreds of people In Kalaraaioo, Mich.,
have visited the horn of Mary Kidder and
there la great excitement. The girl has
been going Into trances for the past week,
during which she olalma to have visited

did not know and some ot whom have

one night stopped at a mountaineer' cabin,
where he slept next to the clapboards of

the house and dried It on a siding of coffee

and combed his hair with hi own comb
before a piece of broken glass stuck be

The native of Central America are at

This story Is stranger than fiction; A far

A young man of dark brown feature,

American derby swung across the campus
of Tale university at a smart pace, his amis
loaded with books and papers.
"Tou tee that young chap?" asked a pro

Governor Taft It largely responsible for
tha shlf'lng of the Flllplnn' foreign educa
tlonal fnecca from Madrid to America.
Phort'y after his arrival In the Philippines
he became convinced that the American
pollrge could do better than anything Vise
a great part nf the work of mtklng the
Filipino reallM that the United States
meant Mm only good. At the same time he
believed that a cnllrge education would
awaken a patriotic adherence to tha new
order of things among the young men who,
In th natural course of efents, will be the
leader of their peor' In a few years. So
the cnmrrlsslon Inaugurated the plan of
pending deserving Filipino boys to the

Bom of these "leaders of tomorrow"
have returned to the Islands after com
pleting special course and have entered
the government rlvjt service. They are
not only gvng entire satisfaction therein,
but, as Governor Taft hoped they would,
hav become firm believer In American
principles, and are Instilling their r,ew

portion of hi 50 old countrymen rati
tered among our colleges.
While considerably over pna-half of thes
Filipinos are pot proteges of the govern
ment, trlo'Iy speaking, It Js nevertheless
true ht ulns ou of every ten of them
have been rent here either directly er In

a strong ally In his educational sohem
Jgnarla Vl'nmor, the head of the Ciun in
I ternaclonal, native organisation anmaQse
of the weal tlest and most prominent eltl
sen of Manila,
Th plub was organised three year ago
by Fenor Villamor, upon hi becoming an
nthuflastlo adherent of Governor Taft
and hi methods, to award scholarships tq
graduates ef local colleges and to send
thm here for four-year courses, paying
II their rxpense". So far it has gent nearly
150 and every year I adding to th nurnb'r
pf t protege, Many hav gon fq th
Jeiult oo' lege In Santa Clara, Cal.. om tq
Berkeley university near San Francleco
and many to Ann Arbor, Mich. Th rst
are scattered all over th country.
Ab Inflneatlal Educator,
Senor Villamor, who ha been made a
Judge by th government, and wisely, too,
for hi Influence for good among the par
live I strong, Is a famous Instructor
among th Filipino. In whatever pirl of
the world you meet a Filipino you nr
pretty sure to get Into his good grace at
one If you eatt Introduce yourself a ft
friend of Ignco Villamor.
Senor Villamor I not a Tagalog, but an
Bocano of northern Luson, a fellow towns
man pf Antonio Luna. Several years be
fore th end of th Spanish regime he be
came Instructor of Latin and Greek In th
principal college of Manila, and tar th
trad of th let department In in sam
Institution,
When tha people rose In arms against
th American govrnment h bcgm rP
resentaUv of Iloco 8ur In the Filipino
congress, but when tb Insurrection was
crushed he went to Mantis and soon aftar
ara-anliad a movement among th wealthy
native which resulted In th establishment
of a untverlty. now kpown a th "Uceq
d Manila," which, except in special
courses, ha aa high an educational stand
ard aa many American college. Most of
Its supporters are ex-Insurgents, It presi
dent being Leon Guerrero, formerly tho
chief manufacturer pf ammunition for the
Insurgent army,
The Ltceo was founded on June 79, 1900.
Governor Taft was present and made ft
speech, which helped mora than anything
else he bad don before to give tho Filipino
his true attitude toward their educational
ambition. .
Thea th Club International was
organised an adjunct to th Llceq. It
first scholarship waa awarded to the son
of ft prominent Manila family Santiago
Artiago, who was sent to Ann Arbor on
th recommendation of Governor Tart.
More award oon followed, and for a
time nearly every returning transport from
the Philippine brought oeveral prospective
Students for American college.
Lars; Reform Plait,
f tner Villamor ha large plan for tb
education ot th Filipino youth,. .
In tho old dgy of Spanish rule," he
aid to ma. when I was In Manila at the
lime of the Llceo'a founding, "we were
much hampered by th church. Religious
training was o Important a factor pf Its
system of education that a native had Uttl
chanc unless he studied for the church
or the army. Only the rich could hope for
education abroad, and graduation from th
religious Institution went for almost
nothing In foreign universities where
sctentlOo and professional course were
given.
But th Llceo will change that. Re-
llglous training will be separated from
th other studies, and It will be left to th
student's option whether he take theology
or not. Our course will b eminently prac
tlcal; tb Liceo shall bo a great preparatory
school for the foreign university, and In
time. I bop, It will rise to be a good In
Itself a any foreign Institution of learning
"Within a few year th tudent we
sead out will return men of learning them
selves, th pupil of th greatest scholar
of America. Than they will tak up th
work w hav begun, and "the day may
even dawn when young men may come
from other eountrlee to study with us.
During th war against the American
Senor Villamor established a college within
th Insurgent line, at Vigan, l!oco Bur,
Th distant booming of cannon would fra
quantly tatanaingl wtih th - recitations
of hi claasc. In November, 1899, the
town wa bomharded by the battleship
Oregon, and Bcnor Vlllainor left his class
room to go out to meet the American
troops, who were advancing on th place.
It waa he who surenderod th province In
the name of the people he represented In
the Insurgent congress.
The colleges where Filipinos are In at
tendance almost Invariably report that
they are exceedingly Industrious, In con
tradlr tlnctlon to th majority of young
men from the tropic who find their way
up north. Besides being good students,
they are naturnlly bright and are taking
many honor.
A Typical Stadcat.
Mr. lagadameo, Agulnaldo' relative at
Tale, I typical of hi fellow countrymen
In America.
"What do you expect to do when you
graduate?" he waa aked.
"Enter the civil service In our own coun
try," he replied; "at least, that Is what
most of us hope to do. I am taking a
course In forestry because I expect to enter
that part of the government ervlc when
I go back. Moiiy of my countrymen are
taking law course, snd they will undoubt
edly some day Interpret American law to
their fellow clticen In Manila."
Mr. Lagadameo expressed himself In
faultless English.
"Did you speak English before you came
here?"
"Not a woid," he answered. "I have
been here three years two In Cornell and
one at Yale-end what English I speak I
have learned. In that time."
When Governor Taft waa mentioned Mr.
Legadameo grew enthusiastic.
"He Is a great man," he aald. "We Fili
pinos admire him Immensely, In fact, I
may say he I one of the three great heroes
of Filipino people. The first waa Jcel Rixal,
who died for pur cause before the fire ot a
equad of Spanish soldiers. Then came my
cousin, Agulnaldo, although I may say hi
popularity ha waned of late. And last of
all come Taft, who ha mora than removed
our animosity toward th Americans by .
his effort to Improve our conditions."
These young Filipinos, who are the flower
f th country' youth, are not only be
coming American In waya of living and
thinking; they are Interesting their father
and friend In American Investments.
"My father." said Mr. Lagadameo, "who
Is a merchant In Manila, owns several flat
houses In Ban Francisco, from which he
derives better revenue than a similar In
vestment In Manila could give. Other Fili
pino hav done likewise. I know several
who hav bought ranrhea out west, and
some have Invested In American commer
cial enterprise, Jkoey I safer here.
There Is no danger of demands from Insur
gent leaders to swell revolutionary funds.'
