A letter In the London Times, from India, states that In the sphere of commerce It would be difficult to find anything more remarkable than the recent expansion of the Juto trade. Prices have risen to an unprecedented height, and yet the demand has con tinued. Jute has not been made dearer by any diminution of the supply, as the production of the fiber has Increased; It Is solely the other great factor In price, on enhnnced demand, that has sent up this cheapest or raw materials to the figure which almost suggests dearncss. The exports of raw nnd manufactured Jute In 19(15-6 amounted to nearly one-fifth of India's total ex ports. The crop last year was a rec ord one and the present season's crop will be drawn from 3,271.400 acres as against 3,167,660 acres last season. The consumption of India Increased last yeur to 721,350 tons bh against 556,950 tons In previous years. Dur ing 1905-6 the average price per bale of 400 pounds was nearly $15, an enormous advance on the prices for the previous five years. It Is reported that the recent high prices are due not merely to the demand, but also to tho gcnernl desire to restrict trie market of the fiber to a shorter period. The advance over last year's prices was over B0 per cent. Fraudulent watcr'ng of Jute, which no only Illegitimately Increases the "'Irht. hot also Impairs the value of the fiber, has become almost universal with the extraordinary rise In prices. There Is deliberate adulteration be sides, but owing to the keen competi tion, which forces the mills to buy the fiber with all the defects or shut down, the purchaser takes wet and sanded Jute with his eyes open. The price of Jute was 4 3 per cent greater last year than In 1901-2. The In crease In price last year alone was 31 per cent. About 2500 new looms are being put In during the present year.

According to the American Agriculturist's final re port the 1S0B crop of potatoes Is esti mated nt 277,000,000 bushels com pared with 253,000,000 In 1905, and 29.oon.nno In 1S104. All through the country the crop made rather uneven development, and while conditions Were far from favorable In the great central and northwestern states during much of the period of growth, Sep tember hrnught better things, and frosts held off until nearly the middle of October so that the crop was prac tically mature before a destructive visitation was experienced. What Is known as the distinctively commercial potato belt shows up with p larger crop than n year ago. The states which are grouped by the Amer ican Agriculturist under the general terms of the northwest, (lie middle northeastern stales and New Knglnnd have an estimated total of 162.1100,. 000 bushels, compared with 1 3 !. ilort. noo bushels for this group of states In J "..

EDDY. Portland Prcwsj llnrcnii of Christian Sclciillsts Kivurcw Statement. In order to nscertaln beyond ques tion whether tho story sent out from New York regarding the illness of Mrs. Mary liaker O. Eddy, head of the Christian Science church, Is true, the State Christian Science publica tion committee yesterday telegraphed M. Meehan, editor of tho New Hamp shire Patriot, ut Concord, N. H., ask ing the truth of the report. Mr. Mee han entered u denial of the story printed, says a Portland paper. The refutations of the story of Mrs. Kddy's Illness have bo far come from members of the Christian Science church. The reason a telegram was sent to Mr. Meehan Is that he Is not affiliated with the church and Is a newspaper man who would be apt to know the fncts. His statement Is In teresting on this account. The two telegrams follow:- "Portland, Ore., Oct. 29. M. Mee han, Editor New Hnmpshlre Patriot, Concord, N. H.: Press hereabouts prints New York World story alleging Mrs. Eddy 111 and Impersonated by an other In her dally drive. Please wire facts for publication at my expense.

On jtlundVy nt I.ewlston John J.

Schick was In the city when the warrant was served. He was taken at once before Justice Corburn, where he entered no plea and was placed under $1000 bonds. At a late hour thlb ecnlng Editor Schick Is Btlll oc cupying a cell In the county Jail. Schick has been making vicious charges against various nominees on the reputllcan ticket, and copies of his paper have been distributed broad cast over the country, the cost being defrayed by the democratic campaign managers, so It Is stated. Another Instance of the heat of thl state campaign Is In the message from Senator Dubois to President Roose velt on the prospective visit of W. H, Taft, secretary of war, to Idaho fo the purpose of mnklne a political speech on "law and Older." Friends of Governor Gooding are nakinn; out that the only question In the Idaho campaign Is the trial of the murderers of Steunenberg and that the trial and conviction of the men now under arrest for that crime, depends v holly upon the re-election of Gooding as governor. This Impression has reached the president and In order to assist In the election of Gooding he has said that Taft would be gent Into Idaho for the purpose of aiding the "law nnd or der" ticket headed by Gooding.
