Soda Crackers
and ; ; ! '
anything yon choose milk for instance-or alone.
At every meal or for a munch between meals, when
you feel the need of an appetizing bite to fill up a vacant
V corner, in the morning when you wake hungry, or at
night just before going to bed. Soda crackers are so
light and easily digested that they make a perfect food at
times when you could hot think of eating anything else.
But as in all other things, there is a difference in sod
crackers, the superlative being
Uneeda Biscuit
a. soda cracker so scientifically baked that all the nutri

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE
poiary Flurry in Monty Market With
out Effiot in Bniineu Circlet.
PRODUCTION STILL AT HIGH LEVEL
Order Are Comlir la Preelr for
Dlata at Delivery Factories
Report Scarcity ol
Labor.
NEW YORK, Nov. 17. R. O. Dun Co.'a
Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will
ay:
A temporary flurrv In the money market
had little effect In commercial circles, most
reports Indicating a further Increase In the
volume of business. Orders come forward
freely for dlstnnt delivery and buyers ex
perience much difficulty In making; pur
chases for quick shipment. Wholesale
trade In holiday poods Is now well under
way and retail distribution of seasonable
merchandise responds to the generally
lower temperature. There Is still some de
lay in mercantile collections, especially at
h south, whero cotton Is not belna- mar
keted freely, and to a less degree In grain
region because, traliic facilities are. not
adequate, but the majority of reports In
dicate that payments are more prompt in
unite or the higher money rates. Manu
facturing plants have scarcely a drawback
except scarcity of labor In a few instances
nd small strikes that Interrupt structural
work to some extent. None of these Influ
ence affect any considerable proportion of
the capacity and there are many new nign
records of production. This Is the case at
pig Iron furnaces and coke ovens, wniie
textile mills and shoe factories make ol
most as satisfactory exhibits. Traffic eon
ditlons have Improved and railway earn'
lngs for the first week of Noverber were
4.0 per cent larger than In tne rorrespona
ing time last year, while tne omeiai state
ment of foreign commerce for the month of
October showed a very large Incrense In
the aggregate and at this port for the last
week exports gained $3.933.0'J8 In comparison
witn j, wiuie imports aecreaseu i.iw.vn
Increased Imports of iron ana steel, es
peclally structural shapes, testified to the
current rate of consumption, as domestic
production is undoubtedly at tne maximum
lides continue firm, but trading Is re
stricted by the light offerings of packers,
who are sold way ahead, ratner man any
lack of demand. Further advances oc
curred In foreign dry hides. Leather Is also
somewhat less active.

CHICAGO, Nov. 17. William S. McSwaln

ing to blaikmall J. Ogden Armour and
other members of Armour & Co. for J40.000

has ti.kcn letters from the flies of the con
'trn. Three weeks ago', It Is alleged, he
approached Mr. Armour and threatened to
li'irn the letters over to the federal au
thorities unless he was paid $40,000. Mr.'
Armour refused to listen to the man and
McSwaln, It is said, made similar demands
on other members of tho company. With
the hope of Jeadlng McSwaln and his com
panion Into a trap, several meetings were
held between McSwaln and Attorney Rosen
thal, representative of the racking com
pany. "At each of . these meetings." said Mr.
Rosenthal, '"th sum was gradually reduced
until McSwaln agreed to give up the letters
for the sum oi 115.000. A meeting was ar
ranged with him at tho Auditorium hotel,
where It was agreed that $10,000 should be
paid hiro on the delivery of the letters and
$5,000 a week later."
When Mr-Swain and Cole appeared at the
hotel this afternoon to collect the money
they were arrtsted by two city detectives.
The officials of Armour & Co. declare that
they had no 'fear thst tho letters In the
possession of McSwaln could bo used
against them, but they had' the two alleged
conspirators arrested In order to discourage
other- employe's who m'ght adopt a similar
course to secure money.

ASIATIC GIFTS ARE APPRAISED
Aa Far as Work Has Gone Miss
Roosevelt's Presents Are
Not Expensive.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-The exami
nation and appraisement of the presents re
ceived by Miss Alice Roosevelt during her
visit to the Orient has begun. The officials
at the Georgetown custom house have
begun to open up the twenty-seven boxes
In which the presents were shipped and
other souvenirs of the visit, which re
sulted In a social conquest of the far
east by the president's daughter. The
customs 'officials say the task Is anything
but an easy one owing to the necessity
laid on them to appraise the goods on
their foreign commercial value. Only
about one-third of the boxes have so far
been opened and Collector Nyman and his
staff are said to be somewhat surprised
as the valuation of their contents will ex
ceed scarcely a few thousand dollars.
Although tha presents have lain In one
strong room. In the basement of George
town postofflce building. In which tho
customs house is located, for three weeks
guarded night and day, there is no effort
to get rid of them quickly. When the
president instructed that no special hurry
was desired and that they should take
the regular course, the officials devoted
their attention to appraising the large
amount of merchandise that had already
arrived. They were unusually busy owing
to the importation of Christmas goods.
As the work of appraising Miss Roose
velt's presents is being done along what the
other work of the office, it Is doubtful
If the last box will have been examined
and the valuation fixed before next week.
Miss Roosevelt, who is on a vlnit to re
latives in Massachusetts, will probably be
home in time to receive them at the White
House. Some of the presents she lias hot
yet seen.

BRADSTREETS REVIEW OF TRADE
Activity is the Keynote of tha Com
mercial Sltnatloa.
NEW YORK, Nov. 17 Bradstroets to
morrow will say:
Actlvltv is still the keynote of the Indus
trial and commercial situation. Colder
weather and the coming Christmas holi
days have caused a heavy distribution in
practically every section of the country
save in the northwest, where the rather
high temperatures and railway congestion
prevent the full development. Railway
earnings are enormous, but the widespread
blockades are assuming a serious phase
and tend to curtail production In some In
dustrial lines. Manufacturing lines are re
markably active. Consumption of Iron and
steel Is proceeding at an enormous rate
with no apparent sign of a let up In the
Immediate future. Out-door construction
work la being conducted on an enormous
scale, and a shortage of labor Is reported
from many sections. Commodity prices are
steady at close to the highest. Collections
on the whole are classd as good, but the
holding of cotton for higher prices In the
south and the car shortages in the north
west render payments somewhat slow In
places. Keal estate the country over is
very brisk. The outlook for spring- trade
is very promising, and In short, all advices
Indicate tha existence of flourishing condi
tions, tbe south, which ir In a better shape
financially than for years before, being
particularly prominent in this respect.
Coal is in active demand, the movement
ffuni the Great Lakes being especially
heavy, owing to the near approach of the
close of aavigaUoa. ttaUway car builders
many of them are bringing their families
and are making their homes on the Isth
mus. The families of our laborers are
solving the problem of chambermaids,
house servants and domestics ot all classes
ns well as being tho only laundry workers
at the present time. We do not receive
women for the work and only bring them
along with tho Individual head of the
family or send for them when the In
dividual has been long enough In our serv
ice to demonstrate his ability as a first
class laborer, and has accumulated enough
to rend for his family."
Mr. 8mlf said that separate camps were
maintained for the married men and their
families and the bachelors, and theso camps
were carefully policed. There has never
been an Instance of such care exercised aa
to comfort and proper living as has been
and is being perfected on the iHthmus.
tlons came to the department from young,
men tn twenty-one different states in the
union. Pennsylvania and Illinois furnished
I the longest lists of young men who are
ambitious to secure a paymaster s commis
sion. Judging by the number already re
ceived, the department expects to be del
uged with letters from those seeking to
enter the corps. As there are but twelve
vacancies, the department will have ample
material to draw from.

for the purification of athletics was setting
an example before the schools of the
