This means that the sec ond trial cannot possibly ta"ko placo until late fall or early winter. In the meantime Thaw must remain in the Tontba, because Mr. Jerome has said that he would oppose any motion to sid/ait the defendant to bail, and it Is scarcely likely that any Judge would grant a motion in face of tho District Attorney's decided opposition. .Mr. Jerome says there is a possibil ity that a change of venue Hiay be applied for. Jeromo has his doubts about that, however,and believes that a Jury can be fobnd in New York County that will declare Thaw guilty. Of course, iu tho eyent that Thaw should develop insanity to a marked degree in tho meantime ho would be wnt to Matteawan without being compelled to undergo another trial. ThaVv is in good spirits. It was ex pected that he would break down and shout to be liberated* He did nothing of the kind. As soon as the courtroom had been cleared the Thaw women went to the pen above the courtroom under tho escoyt of Lawyer O'Reilly, thero to console Harry.

The opinions of financiers, manufacturers knd business men in general are uniformly optimistic, and do not reflect the pessimism expressed by James J. Hill, Mr. Srhlff and Mr. Belmont in recent Interviews. Pittsburg expects some Blackening up, and "V/111 welcome It, but scouts any real business depression. Men high In the steel trade say there can he no depression there thl3 year or next. St. Louis is enjoying the greatest business prosperity in its history, and prospects are for more business tlite year than last.

C.?Tho total ?-x- ! portation of meats, dairy products and food animals from the United States last year aggregated over $250,000,000 in value, according to j p Mfttemint issued by the Bureau of statistics of the Department of Com merce and Labor. This represents an increase of $70,000,000, or forty live per cent, during tho decode 1896 to .1906. More than sitty jier cent, of last year's exports went to the United Kingdom. Even thin large j percentage, however, Is less than that | of a decade ago, when Great Britain j took over seventy per cent, of Amer ican exports. Of (he $250,000,000 worth of meats, dairy products and food ani mal? passiitg but of the United f)I'.iteS last year. S40.000.000 was in' live animals, f.js.OOO.OOO In lard, 1 $3(5.000,000 in bacon, S'25,000,000 In fresh beef, $21,000,000 in hftms, SIS,<t00,000 iu oieomftrgt\rlhev $14, 000,000 in pork uthei1 than bacon and i hams, $-1 .Ho ,000 in butter rtnd $2, 606.000 in cheese. The farmers of America are en Joying their full share of the general prosperity of the country. The re port of the Government recently made public announces thai tho value of farms Increased thirty-three per cent, iiy five years, from 1900 to 1906. This increase extends to every Stale In tho Union in greater or lesn de gree. Oklahoma shows the largest ! Increase, forty-three per cent., but j even New England, which does not lay claim to much of a farming coun try, shows a gain of eighteen per ' cent. I This great increase in our farm ; wealth is, of course, duo to tho re- i markable advance in the value of | farm products, which is estimated to ! be about forty per cent, increased j earnings have come with better knowledge of conditions and better | methods of farming,' and as these methods are constantly improving, I our continued prosperity seems as sured. COST OF LIVING LESS. commodity Prices Fall, Partly Because the Hon is Busy. New York City. ? A decline of nearly two per cent, in commodity prices is attributed by Dun's Index Number in largo measure to the Bpring activities of tho American hen and the consequent decline in the price ot eggs o? ten and a half cents a dozen, which Resulted in a heavy increase in the per capita consump tion. It is usual at thi3 time of year for the prices of dairy and garden pro ducts to recede, but last month the decline was exceptional. Comment ing on tho causes of the decline, out side of tho influence ot the break in eggs, Dun's mentions the relief to railway freight blockades, that made It possible to move grain and many other products more freely to mar ket, and ?the feeling of conservatism in some industries, which restricted purchases of raw materials. A BILLION PAID FOR AUTOS. rronch Statistician Says That America Now Leads the World. Washington, D. C.?M. Fnroux, a French statistician, according to a report received by the Bureau of t Manufactures, estimates that about ' 550.000 motor cars have been maim- j factured in tho nine /ears since the 1 experiment of self-propelled road ve- j hides first succeeded. These ma chines sold for more than a billion dollars. Until a year ago France, the pio- J neer, led the world in tho production i of the motor vehicle. Now the United | States has taken the lead. Accord- > ing to M. Faroux, the United Statp3 built 60,000 automobiles in 190G, France 55,000, England 28,000, Ger many 22,000, Italy 15,000 and Bel gium 12,000.

Jiis manuscript down, his eye* ilasheiti--lie stopped far to the front beyond the speaker's table, and rais ing Jiis arms, cried out: "1 have been in a dream ever since I arrived hero, and Njun still in a dream.

I have (ried to make myself realize that i have any thing (o do with it, and havo failed (o do so. My banker (ells me that I havo so many bonds; I never even saw them. Did I earn thorn? Well, I started the machinery going and (hey came (o me. When the insti tute project was (list mentioned I wrote my name to a little slip of paper. That completed my task. I do not even know how many bonds they took, because I don't know bow many I havo. And still I am given the credit, it. doesn't belong to me. "I cannot feel that 1 own a moun tain.

I (old my wife last night, after I had viewed tills wonderful place, that I felt that Alad din's Lamp had been working, and she replied, 'Yes, and you did not even have to rub tho lamp.' That sizes up my position exactly." Mr. Carnegie delivered tills re markable speech in the most impas sioned way with his eye glasses thrust back over hia head, ?'u;rl his arms gesticulating. At times In it he was vigorously applauded, but for the most part the audience sat sllunt, not unsympathetionlly, but rather as if unable to take It in.
