This  is  a  digital  copy  of  a  book  that  was  preserved  for  generations  on  library  shelves  before  it  was  carefully  scanned  by  Google  as  part  of  a  project 

to  make  the  world's  books  discoverable  online. 

It  has  survived  long  enough  for  the  copyright  to  expire  and  the  book  to  enter  the  public  domain.  A  public  domain  book  is  one  that  was  never  subject 

to  copyright  or  whose  legal  copyright  term  has  expired.  Whether  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  may  vary  country  to  country.  Public  domain  books 

are  our  gateways  to  the  past,  representing  a  wealth  of  history,  culture  and  knowledge  that's  often  difficult  to  discover. 

Marks,  notations  and  other  maiginalia  present  in  the  original  volume  will  appear  in  this  file  -  a  reminder  of  this  book's  long  journey  from  the 

publisher  to  a  library  and  finally  to  you. 

Usage  guidelines 

Google  is  proud  to  partner  with  libraries  to  digitize  public  domain  materials  and  make  them  widely  accessible.  Public  domain  books  belong  to  the 
public  and  we  are  merely  their  custodians.  Nevertheless,  this  work  is  expensive,  so  in  order  to  keep  providing  tliis  resource,  we  liave  taken  steps  to 
prevent  abuse  by  commercial  parties,  including  placing  technical  restrictions  on  automated  querying. 
We  also  ask  that  you: 

+  Make  non-commercial  use  of  the  files  We  designed  Google  Book  Search  for  use  by  individuals,  and  we  request  that  you  use  these  files  for 
personal,  non-commercial  purposes. 

+  Refrain  fivm  automated  querying  Do  not  send  automated  queries  of  any  sort  to  Google's  system:  If  you  are  conducting  research  on  machine 
translation,  optical  character  recognition  or  other  areas  where  access  to  a  large  amount  of  text  is  helpful,  please  contact  us.  We  encourage  the 
use  of  public  domain  materials  for  these  purposes  and  may  be  able  to  help. 

+  Maintain  attributionTht  GoogXt  "watermark"  you  see  on  each  file  is  essential  for  in  forming  people  about  this  project  and  helping  them  find 
additional  materials  through  Google  Book  Search.  Please  do  not  remove  it. 

+  Keep  it  legal  Whatever  your  use,  remember  that  you  are  responsible  for  ensuring  that  what  you  are  doing  is  legal.  Do  not  assume  that  just 
because  we  believe  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  the  United  States,  that  the  work  is  also  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  other 
countries.  Whether  a  book  is  still  in  copyright  varies  from  country  to  country,  and  we  can't  offer  guidance  on  whether  any  specific  use  of 
any  specific  book  is  allowed.  Please  do  not  assume  that  a  book's  appearance  in  Google  Book  Search  means  it  can  be  used  in  any  manner 
anywhere  in  the  world.  Copyright  infringement  liabili^  can  be  quite  severe. 

About  Google  Book  Search 

Google's  mission  is  to  organize  the  world's  information  and  to  make  it  universally  accessible  and  useful.   Google  Book  Search  helps  readers 
discover  the  world's  books  while  helping  authors  and  publishers  reach  new  audiences.  You  can  search  through  the  full  text  of  this  book  on  the  web

REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  DIRECTORS. 


MEBCHANTS'  EXCHANGE, 

St.  Louis,  Mo.,  Januaiy  7th,  1902. 
To  the  MembeTE  of  the  Merchants'  Exchange  of  St.  Louis : 

Gemtlkmkn — The  rules  of  the  Exchange  require  that  the  Board  shall, 
preTious  to  the  Annual  Meeting,  fix  the  assessment  to  be  paid  by  each 
member  for  the  coming  year,  and  at  the  Annual  Meeting  report  to  the 
Exchange  the  amount  so  assessed,  and  the  pecu|;4ary  condition  of  the 
Exchange. 

Your  Board,  at  a  meeting  held  on  the  10th  of  December  last,  after  a 
careful  consideration  of  the  matter  fixed  the  assessment  for  the  year  1902 
at  $25.00  for  each  member. 

The  property  of  the  Exchange  is  in  good  condition  and  the  building 
well  rented,  there  being  but  one  office  unoccupied. 

The  receipts  of  the  year  on  real  estate  account  were:  From  rentals 
$43,673.20,  from  current  account  $3,000.00,  and  from  interest  $26.86,  a  total 
of  $46,700.05. 

The  expenditures,  including  $12,500  paid  for  bonds  redeemed  and  can- 
celed and  $1,578.96  overdraft  of  previous  year  repaid,  were  $46,494.49, 
leaving  a  balance  on  hand  of  $205.11. 

The  bonded  debt,  originally  $150,000,  has  been  reduced  to  $92,500. 

The  rentals  for  the  past  year  amounted  to  $43,673.20.  The  expenditures, 
eliminating  the  items  of  bonds  and  interest  on  same  and  overdraft  paid, 
were  $28,571.78,  leaving  a  balance  of  $15,101.42  over  the  usual  current  ex- 
penses. If  to  this  is  added  the  sum  of  $25,000  for  rent  of  the  Exchange 
ball  and  offices,  which  it  is  legitimate  to  include  when  ascertaining  the 
rental  value  of  the  property,  the  net  revenue  would  be  $40,000.00,  or  5J^  % 
on  the  cost  of  $750,000.00. 

The  income  from  rentals  for  1902  will  approximate  $48,000.  On  the 
same  basis  the  net  income  would  be  increased  to  $45,000,  or  6  %  on  the  cost 
of  the  property.  But  if  the  revenue  from  the  property  merely  paid  all 
expenses,  leaving  to  the  Exchange  the  free  use  of  the  hall  and  offices,  it 
would  stil]  be  a  good  investment,  as  under  other  circumstances,  if  the 
Exchange  had  to  rent  quarters  at  all  equal  to  the  present  in  size  and 
appointments^  the  rental  would  probably  largely  exceed  $25,000. 

The  ownership  of  the  property  fixes  permanently  for  many  years  the 
location  of  the  Exchange,  which,  all  things  considered,  is  as  desirable  as  a 
location  farther  west,  and  provides  offices  for  many  of  our  members  at  a 
low  cost. 


10  TRADE  AND  OOHMEBOE  OF 

The  receipts  and  expenditures  for  current  account  remain  about  as 
usual^  except  that  the  revenue  decreases  slightly  from  year  to  year  on  ac- 
count of  forfeitures  and  redemptions.  The  membership  at  the  begininng 
of  1901  was  1873.  This  has  been  reduced  by  the  redemption  of  33  certifi- 
cates of  deceased  members,  six  forfeitures  and  one  expulsion,  making  tlie 
number  on  the  rolls  at  the  beginning  of  the  present  year  1832. 

The  total  revenue  for  the  year,  including  a  balance  on  hand  January  1st 
of  $1,475.56,  was  $61,074.98,  and  expenditures,  including  amount  transferred 
to  Real  Estate  Account,  $48,438.89,  leaving  a  balance  of  $2,636.09. 

The  primary  object  of  the  Merchants'  Exchange  is  to  provide  a  place 
and  furnish  facilities  for  the  daily  transaction  of  business,  and  to  publish 
an  annual  statement  of  the  trade  and  commerce  of  the  city.  Probably 
there  is  no  organization  in  the  country  where  these  requirements  are  more 
fuUy  met.  But,  in  addition  to  this,  the  Exchange  through  its  official 
Board  keeps  in  touch  with  all  movements  affecting  the  business  interests  of 
the  city  and  country,  t'or  many  years  it  was  the  only  organized  body  in 
the  city,  and  all  measures  originated  with  or  were  brought  before  the 
Exchange  for  consideration  and  action  and  had  prompt  and  effective  atten- 
tion. But  with  the  growth  and  development  of  business  other  organiza- 
tions were  formed  to  look  after  special  interests,  and  the  Exchange  was 
able  to  confine  its  work  to  subjects  of  a  strictly  commercial  nature,  or 
affecting  commercial  interests. 

During  the  past  year  your  Board  gave  especial  attention  to  transporta- 
tion matters,  and,  in  conjunction  with  other  commercial  bodies,  made 
efforts  to  have  the  interstate  commerce  law  amended  by  Congress  so  as  to 
confer  greater  power  upon  the  Commissioners.  This  was  not  accom- 
plished, but  it  is  hoped  that  the  present  Congress  will  grant  the  relief  so 
much  needed. 

An  effort  was  also  made  to  have  the  war  revenue  tax  on  sales  made  on 
the  Exchanges  of  the  country  repealed,  but  it  was  only  successful  to  the 
extent  of  eliminating  the  tax  on  sales  of  property  actually  in  course  of 
transportation. 

An  attempt  was  made  early  in  the  year  to  have  the  headquarters  of  the 
Mississippi  River  Commission  removed  to  another  city,  but  the  prompt 
action  of  your  Board  in  protesting  against  such  a  movement  effectually 
prevented  it. 

In  April  last  the  Committee  on  Postal  Affairs,  in  connection  with  Post- 
master Baumhoff,  petitioned  the  Postoffice  Department  for  increased  mail 
facilities  on  the  Wabash  train  arriving  at  2  p.  m.,  and  also  for  the  establish- 
ment of  a  railway  postoffice  service  on  the  Missouri,  Kansas  &  Texas  train 
leaving  St.  Louis  at  8 :  16  a.  m.  The  request  has  been  granted,  and  an  addi- 
tional mail  car  put  on  the  Wabash  train,  and  the  mail  \s  now  made  ready 
for  instant  delivery  upon  its  arrival.  On  January  1st,  1902,  the  new  service 
was  established  on  the  Missouri,  Kansas  &  Texas  train,  thus  securing  a 
better  mail  service  to  the  Southwest. 

In  August  last  an  effort  was  made  to  have  the  monthly  Government 
Crop  Report  issued  at  12  M.  instead  of  4  P.  M.  Eastern  time.    From  past 


THE  OITY  OF  ST.  LOUIS.  11 

ejq>erienee  your  Board  were  of  the  opinion  that  a  midday  report  unsettled 
and  disturbed  buginesB,  and  sucoessfuUy  protested  agahist  a  change  in  the 
hour  of  its  issuance. 

Your  Board  endorsed  the  efforts  of  the  St.  Louis  Manufacturers'  Asso- 
dation  looking  to  the  establishment  of  a  line  of  steamboats  between 
St.  Louis  and  New  Orleans^  and  joined  with  other  organizations  in  an  effort 
to  secure  for  St.  Louis  the  location  of  one  of  the  permanent  camps  for  the 
anny  and  national  guard.   - 

Tour  association  has  been  ably  represented  at  the  following  gatherings : 

National  Board  of  Trade,  Washington,  January  2and. 

Southern  industrial  Convention,  Philadelphia,  June  11th. 

Illinois  Grain  Dealers'  Association,        Decatur,  June  11th. 

Trans-Misslsslppi  Comn  Congress,       Cripple  Creek,  July  16th. 

Iowa  Grain  Dealers'  Association,  Creston,  September  3rd. 

National  Hay  Association,  Indianapolis,  September  10th. 

Grain  Dealers'  National  Association,    DesMoines,  October  2nd. 

National  Rivers  and  Harbors  Congress,  Baltimore,  October  8th. 

Early  in  the  year  a  Committee  on  Weighing  was  appointed  for  the  pur- 
pose of  formulating  and  putting  in  operation  a  plan  for  securing  the 
accurate  weighing  and  methods  of  weighing  of  grain  and  other  property 
handled  by  members  of  the  Exchange  and  others  desiring  the  service.  In 
September  last  tliis  action  was  endorsed,  by  the  adoption  of  an  amendment 
to  the  Rules,  authorizing  the  Board  of  Directors  to  establish  and  maintain 
a  Department  of  Weights.  A  supervisor  of  weighing  was  appointed,  and 
eteps  taken  to  ascertain  wherein  the  present  system  was  defective  and  what 
remedies  could  be  applied  to  correct  same.  The  committee  has  had  the 
cordial  co-operation  of  the  local  officials  of  the  various  railroads,  with  the 
result  that  the  system  has  been  materially  improved  and  complaints  are 
much  less  frequent  than  formerly.  It  is  the  purpose  of  the  Board,  in  con- 
nection with  the  proper  authorities,  to  establish  scales  for  weighing  gnAn 
and  other  farm  products  under  the  direct  control  of  the  Committee  of 
Weighing,  with  the  view  of  having  a  system  that  will  provide  every  safe- 
guard for  the  proper  weighing  and  delivery  of  contents  of  cars. 

The  Traffic  Bureau  has  been  active  during  the  year  in  looking  after 
transportation  interests,  affecting  not  only  the  business  transacted  on  the 
Exchange,  but  the  general  trade  of  the  city.  The  Managers  and  Commis- 
sioner have  been  met  with  courtesy  by  all  railroad  officials,  and  when  it 
was  possible  their  requests  have  been  cheerfully  granted.  The  result  has 
been  that  concessions  have  been  made  in  a  number  of  cases  and  discrimina- 
tions corrected  in  others,  and  while  all  that  has  been  hoped  for  has  not 
been  accomplished,  much  good  has  resulted,  and  the  usefulness  of  the 
Bureau  fully  demonstrated.  Attention  is  called  to  the  report  issued  by  the 
Commissioner,  giving  a  detailed  statement  of  the  work  of  the  year. 

We  have  taken  pleasure  in  extending  to  distinguished  vistors  the  courte- 
sies of  the  Exchange,  and  have  been  honored  with  the  presence  of  Hon. 
Charles  Denby,  ex-United  States  Minister  to  China;  Mr.  Wn  Ting  Fang, 


12  TBADS  AND  OOIOCERGS  OF 

Envoy  Extraordinary  and  Minister  Plenipotentiary  of  China;  the  delegates 
to  the  Intematlonal  Congress  held  at  the  City  of  Mexico,  a  party  of  dis- 
tinguished Porto  Rican  business  men,  and  Governor  Durbin  of  Indiana. 

Death  has  taken  from  us  forty -three  members,  whose  loss  is  deeply  de- 
plored and  for  whom  the  Board  has  placed  on  record  the  regrets  of  the 
members  at  their  demise  and  a  tribute  to  their  worth. 

When  the  sad  news  was  received,  September  14th,  that  President 
McKinley  had  passed  away,  your  Board  ordered  the  Exchange  closed  and 
the  hall  draped  in  mourning.  The  Exchange  closed  also  on  the  day  of  the 
funeral;  and  the  members  joined  with  the  people  of  the  city  in  expressing 
their  sorrow  at  the  loss  of  a  great  and  good  man  and  the  honored  executive 
of  the  nation. 

The  Exchange  was  also  closed  on  February  2nd;  the  day  of  the  funeral 
of  the  Queen  of  England;  as  a  token  of  respect  to  the  memory  of  an  illus- 
trious monarch  and  a  noble  woman. 

Your  Board  wishes  to  express  its  appreciation  of  the  valued  assistance  of 
the  various  conmiittees  in  promoting  the  interests  of  the  Exchange;  also 
of  the  faithful  and  efficient  service  rendered  by  the  Secretary  and  other 
employes. 

Our  yearns  work  is  done  and  gone  into  history;  and  in  returning  thanks 
to  the  members  for  the  honor  bestowed  upon  us,  we  bespeak  for  our  suc- 
cessors the  same  united  support  that  has  been  accorded  us,  and  the  con- 
tinued efforts  of  all  the  membership  in  building  up  the  New  St.  Louis  and 
the  Merchants*  Exchange,  which  is  one  of  the  prominent  factors  in  its 
development.

FOBEIGN  BILLS  OF  LADING.

St.  Louis  join  with  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  of  Minneapolis,  the  Board 
of  Trade  of  the  city  of  Chicago  and  other  commercial  associations^  in  pro- 
testing against  the  action  of  ship  owners  in  inserting  special  clauses  in 
bills  of  lading  for  goods  shipped  to  London^  whereby  charges  are  imposed 
in  oontrayention  of  acts  of  Parliament,  in  which  acts  we  understand  free 
deUvery  was  safeguarded  on  all  goods  entering  that  port.  We  believe  that

imposed  on  bills  of  lading  to  Liverpool  and  other  points.

Repreeetatives  In  Congress  to  pass  an  amendment  to  the  Barter  Act  of

contravention  of  the  laws  of  countries  into  which  American  products  are

tives from  Missouri  in  Congress.

the  death  of  President'William  McKinley.  On  September  18th  the  follow- 
ing resolutions  were  adopted : 

The  President  is  dead.  One  of  the  noblest  of  men  has  passed  away. 
The  nation  is  bowed  in  sadness  and  sorrow.  Words  are  inadequate  to 
express  the  grief  of  the  people  at  the  loss  of  their  Chief  Executive,  so 
highly  esteemed  and  so  sincerely  beloved. 

William  McKinley  was  a  man  among  men;  his  life  was  pure  and  unsel- 
fish ;  his  honesty  of  purpose  was  never  questioned ;  on  the  field  or  in  the 
forum  he  manfully  did  his  whole  duty,  earnestly  striving  for  the  right  and 
for  the  welfare  of  his  country.  As  the  head  of  this  great  nation  during  a 
period  requiring  the  highest  wisdom  and  statesmanship,  he  won  the  admi- 
ration of  the  world  by  his  wise  administration  of  affairs,  and  his  policy  has 
come  to  be  accepted  by  his  countrymen  as  wise  and  just,  and  productive  of 
the  best  results. 


THS  Omr  OF  8T.  IiOUZS.  21 

In  privrnte  Uf e  he  wu  kind,  affable  and  gradons;  a  devoted  husband, 
a  idnd  neighbor,  a  sincere  friend,  a  Christian  gentleman. 

His  loss  is  a  personal  sorrow  and  a  national  bereavement. 

T6  the  affectionate^  devoted  wife,  so  lovingly  and  tenderly  cared  for, 
whose  comfort  and  happiness  was  his  first  thought,  and  to  wtiom  his  loss 
is  irreparable,  our  hearts  go  out  in  tenderest  sympathy  and  affection. 

As  an  evidence  of  love  and  esteem  to  this  great  and  good  man,  and  as  a 
mark  of  respect  to  the  high  position  he  occupied,  it  is  ordered  that  the 
Merchants*  Exchange  be  closed  on  the  day  of  the  funeral,  and  that  the  hall

BITEBS  AMD  HABBOBS  CONGRESS. 

NovBMBEB  12th.  The  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Merchants*  Exchange 
of  St.  Louis  heartily  endorse  and  approve  the  resolutions  adopted  by  the 
Xationai  Congress  on  Rivers  and  Harbors,  convened  at  Baltimore,  October 
dth  and  9th,  1901,  urging  upon  the  Congress  of  the  United  States  a  liberal 
policy  in  the  improvement,  through  systematic  and  adequate  appropria- 
tions, of  the  waterways  and  harbors  of  the  country. 

The  Board  respectfully  urges  upon  the  honorable  Senators  and  Repre- 
sentatives from  Missouri  to  favor  the  passage  of  such  a  bill  during  the 
coming  Congress,  in  the  interest  of  the  increasing  internal  and  foreign 
commerce  of  the  country. 

NATIONAL  BOARD  OF  TRADE. 

November  SOth.  Subjects  presented  by  the  Merchants'  Exchange  of 
Sl  Louis,  for  the  consideration  of  the  National  Board  of  Trade  at  the 
Annual  Meeting,  to  be  held  in  Washington  in  January,  1902. 

FINANCE  AND  CURRENCY. 

Besolved,  That  the  bullion  in  the  Treasury  be  hereafter  used  for  the 
coinage  of  subsidaiy  silver  coin,  as  needed  by  the  public,  and  not  into 
lUver  dollars. 

WhereaSf  The  people  and  the  banks  of  the  United  States  are  veiy  large 
losers  each  year  by  the  wear  of  small  gold  coins,  which  might  be  avoided 
by  issuing  gold  certificates  in  their  place  by  the  government,  and  which 
are  not  now  allowed  of  less  than  $20.00; 

JieBoiwd,  That  Congress  be  requested  to  allow  the  issue  of  $5.00  and 
tlO.00  gold  certificates  on  deposits  of  gold  bullion  or  gold  coin  of  equal 
value  in  the  Treasury. 

Whereat,  It  is  desirable  to  eliminate  the  issues  of  United  States  notes, 
which  are  only  flat  money  and  originally  issued  under  the  stress  of  the 
war  demands; 


22  TBADB  AND  OOMMBBOB  OF 

Thtr^orty  We  recommend  to  CongreBS  the  passage  of  such  laws  as 
shall  gradually  retire  them,  and  that  they  he  replaced  hy  gold  notes  from 
the  reserve  funds  in  the  Treasury ,  thus  leaving  the  currency  undiminished, 
the  gold  remaining  in  the  Treasury  against  such  issues  for  their  redemp- 
tion. 

Besolved^  That  we  request  Congress  to  consider  the  propriety  of  amend- 
ing the  national  banking  laws  so  as  to  allow  banks  having  a  capital  of  such 
large  amount  as  to  insure  safety  in  so  doing,  to  establish  branches  in 
foreign  countries  for  the  promotion  of  export  and  import  trade,  that  we 
may  be  thus  on  a  footing  with  our  great  European  competitors. 

BesolfMd^  That  we  recommend  to  Congress  the  propriety  of  considering 
amendments  to  the  national  bank  acts  to  allow  the  issue  of  currency  by 
banks  based  on  their  assets  and  secured  by  a  safety  fund  to  be  raised  by  a 
tax  on  the  issues  sufficient  to  make  the  currency  entirely  safe^  and  to  be 
under  absolute  government  control. 

Whereas,  Much  loss  occurs  to  innocent  holders  of  damaged^  clipped, 
mutilated  or  abraded  silver  coin  minted  by  the  United  States,  on  account 
of  the  Treasury  Department  paying  for  such  coins  only  their  bullion  value ^ 
and  thus  the  loss  to  the  citizen  is  a  gain  to  the  government;  therefore, 

Beaolved^  That  Congress  be  asked  to  provide  by  law  that  the  Secretary 
of  the  Treasury  be  authorized  to  redeem  such  coins,  giving  for  them  by 
weight  the  proportionate  value  remaining  to  them  compared  with  original 
amount  received  for  them  by  the  government. 

WAR  REVENUE  TAX. 

Whereas^  Since  the  reduction  made  by  the  last  Congress  in  war  revenue 
taxation  has  not  decreased  the  receipts  from  that  source  as  much  as  had 
been  expected  and  a  further  reduction  may  safely  be  made  without 
detriment  to  the  financial  interests  of  the  government,  the  National  Board 
urges  the  further  repeal  of  such  taxation  as  has  proved  a  burden  to  the 
commerce  of  the  country,  and  especially  of  the  tax  on  sales  of  agricultural 
products  on  commercial  exchanges  and  stamps  on  stock  certificates,  and 
also  the  repeal  of  the  entire  act  as  soon  as  practicable. 

ISTHMIAN  CANAL. 

The  National  Board  of  Trade  urges  upon  Congress  the  importance  of 
early  action  looking  to  the  construction  of  an  Isthmian  Canal,  as  demanded 
by  the  increasing  commerce  between  the  West  and  the  Far  East. 

DEPARTMENT  OF  COMMERCE  AND  INDUSTRIES. 

The  National  Board  of  Trade  has  repeatedly  advocated  the  establish- 
ment of  a  Department  of  Commerce  and  Industries,  and  believes  that 
action  by  Congress  establishing  such  a  department  would  meet  with  the 
hearty  endorsement  and  approval  of  the  people. 

RIVERS  AND   HARBORS. 

The  National  Board  of  Trade  urges  upon  Congress  the  passage  at  the 
present  session  of  a  rivers  and  harbors  bill  for  the  improvement  of  naviga- 


THB  OITT  OF  ST.  IiOUIB.  23 

ble  waterways  and  of  the  harbors  of  the  coast  lines.  Sach  expenditures 
hy  the  goyemment  are  needed  to  develop  and  increase  our  internal  and 
foreign  commerce^  and  will  be  approved  and  endorsed  by  the  commercial 
interests  of  the  country.  It  is  the  judgment  of  this  board  that  appropria- 
tions should  be  made  only  for  the  improvement  of  waterways  and  harbors 
for  the  purpose  of  water-borne  commerce. 

INTBRNAL  WATBBWATS. 

In  the  appropriations  to  be  made  by  Congress  for  rivers  and  harbors 
the  continued  improvement  of  the  navigable  rivers  of  the  West  should 
receive  special  attention^  and  while  the  system  of  permanent  improvement 
is  being  carried  on  it  is  of  the  utmost  importance  that  an  adequate 
navigable  channel  be  maintained  in  the  Mississippi  Biver  by  the  use 
of  dredges  and  portable  jetties  in  order  that  present  river  commerce  may 
be  facilitated,  especially  between  the  Missouri  and  Ohio  rivers.  The 
Board  further  urges  requisite  appropriations  for  the  improvement  of  the 
Southwest  Pass,  in  order  to  afford  adequate  facilities  for  ships  of  the 
largest  class. 

The  Board  also  favors  the  construction  of  a  ship  canal  between  the 
Mississippi  Biver  and  Lake  Michigan,  and  that  the  Mississippi  Biver 
Commission  be  authorized  to  investigate  the  practicability  of  such  canal 
tnd  the  probable  cost  thereof. 

FORESTBT. 

The  attention  of  the  Congress  is  again  called  to  the  importance  of  the 
preservation  of  forests  as  necessary  to  the  continued  prosperity  of  agricul- 
tural, lumbering,  mining  and  transportation  interests,  and  urges  legisla- 
tion looking  to  the  perpetuation  of  our  forests  and  to  the  establishment  of 
additional  national  parks  and  forest  reserves. 

POSTAL  AFFAIRS. 

The  Kational  Board  of  Trade  heartily  approves  the  action  of  the  Post- 
master-General  in  his  efforts  to  purge  the  malls  of  second-class  matter  not 
entitled  to  transmission  as  such,  and  calls  upon  Congress  for  such  legisla- 
tion as  will  amend  the  laws  relating  to  second-class  mail  matter  and 
prevent  the  same  being  carried  at  a  loss  to  the  government. 

CONSULAR  SERTICB. 

That  the  reorganization  of  the  consular  service  in  the  interest  of  the 
constantly  expanding  foreign  commerce  of  the  country  should  have  early 
and  earnest  consideration  by  Congress,  and  all  appointments  should  be 
based  upon  business  qualifications  and  not  political  preferment. 

BANKRUPT  LAW. 

That  the  provision  of  the  National  Bankruptcy  law,  which  provides 
against  preferences  and  prevents  a  creditor  who  may  have  innocently 
received  payments  within  four  months  prior  to  bankruptcy  from  proving 


24  TBADS  AND  OOMMBBOK  OP 

mny  claim  he  may  have  against  tlie  estate  without  Burrendering  such  pay- 
ments is  a  serious  menace  to  the  credit  system^  and  the  business  interests 
of  the  country,  and  should  be  promptly  repealed  by  Congress. 

INTERSTATE  COHXERCE  LAW. 

The  National  Board  of  Trade,  in  session  assembled,  urges  Congress  to 
pass  such  amendments  to  the  Interstate  Commerce  Commission  laws  as 
will  give  force  and  effect  to  the  findings  and  rulings  of  the  commission  and 
at  the  same  time  fully  safeguard,  protect  and  promote  both  the  public  and 
the  transportation  interests  and  welfare. 

ADJOURNlfEMT  SINE  DIB  OF  THE  NATIONAL  BOARD  OF  TRADE. 

The  organization  of  the  National  Board  of  Trade  in  1868,  was  an  event 
of  much  importance  to  the  commercial  world;  and  its  deliberations  from 
year  to  year  have  demonstrated  the  benefit  of  co-operation  and  united 
action  among  business  men. 

It  opened  the  way  to  the  organization  of  national  trade  organizations, 
looking  to  the  development  of  individual  industrial  lines,  so  that  at  the 
present  time  there  are  over  seventy  such  bodies  in  the  United  States,  each 
one  devoted  to  the  particular  interest  it  represents. 

The  wide  scope  of  subjects  submitted  annually  for  the  consideration  of 
the  National  Board  of  Trade  renders  it  absolutely  impossible  to  give  to 
each  the  time  and  attention  required  for  a  thorough  discussion  and  under- 
standing of  important  measures,  and  probably  for  this  reason  the  recom- 
mendations of  the  board  have  not  commanded  the  attention  of  legislative 
bodies  or  secured  such  results  as  might  have  been  expected  from  the 
deliberations  of  such  a  representative  body  of  business  men. 

In  view  of  these  facts  the  Merchants'  Exchange  of  St.  Louis  submits  the 
following  resolution  for  the  consideration  of  the  National  Board : 

Besolved^  That  at  the  close  of  the  present  session  the  National  Board 
of  Trade  adjourn  sine  die. 

Besolved^  That  the  Executive  Council,  as  now  constituted,  be  author- 
ized and  instructed  to  close  up  all  the  business  affairs  of  the  board  and  to 
assess  the  constituent  members,  in  accordance  with  the  usual  pro  rata,  for 
such  an  amount  as  may  be  required  to  pay  all  the  obligations  of  the  board. 

WILLIAM  M'MILLAN. 

NOYEMBER  26th.  Resolutions  of  respect  to  the  memory  of  William 
McMillan,  prepared  by  a  committee  consisting  of  Messrs.  Sam  M.  Eennard, 
L.  B.  Tebbetts,  H.  M.  Blossom,  Thos.  H.  West  and  Wm.  C.  Little,  were 
adopted  by  the  Board. 

JURISDICTION  OF  MISSISSIPPI   RIVER  COMMISSION. 

December  10th.  Whereas,  The  City  of  St.  Louis,  as  the  commercial 
metropolis  of  the  Mississippi  valley,  is  vitally  interested  in  such  adequate 
improvement  of  the  Mississippi  Biver  as  will  fully  meet  the  demands  of 
commerce;  and, 


THB  OITT  OF  ST.  IiOITIB.  26 

WhereoM^  The  shipping  Interests  ol  this  city  have  suffered  severe  losses 
during  the  past  years,  through  lailnre  of  appropriations  and  consequent 
failure  to  maintain  adequate  depth  ol  channel  between  this  city  and  Cairo^ 
while  ample  depths  below  the  latter  point  have  been  maintained  by  means 
of  an  efficient  dredg^g  system  inaugurated  by  the  Mississippi  River  Com- 
mission; and^ 

Wharea9j  This  said  dredging  plant  is  idle  for  long  periods  of  time  each 
year  when  there  are  good  navigable  depths  below  the  mouth  of  the  Ohio^ 
while  the  channel  in  the  Mississippi  River  above  that  stream  is  altogether 
inadequate  for  the  requirements  of  navigation,  at  which  time  the  said 
dredging  plant  could  be  advantageously  employed  in  deepening  and  main- 
taining this  channel ;  and, 

Wkereas,  In  the  improvement  of  the  Mississippi  River,  we  believe  that, 
both  on  the  score  of  economy  and  for  the  earlier  realization  of  the  required 
channel  depths^  the  best  results  will  be  obtained  by  treating  the  stream  as 
a  systematic  whole,  and  by  the  vigorous  prosecution  of  the  work  in  such 
order  as  will  best  satisfy  the  demands  of  commerce ;  and, 

Whereat,  The  organic  act  creating  the  Mississippi  River  Commission, 
entitled  '^An  Act  to  provide  for  the  appointment  of  a  Mississippi  River 
Commission  for  the  improvement  of  said  river  from  the  Head  of  Passes^ 
near  its  mouth,  to  its  headwaters,*'  manifestly  assigns  the  improvement  of 
the  river  to  said  Commission,  which  is  held  in  the  highest  esteem  by  the 
people  of  the  Mississippi  valley ;  therefore,  be  it 

Be»olvedf  That  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Merchants'  Exchange  of 
the  City  of  St.  Louis  respectfully  request  and  urge  at  the  hands  of  Congress 
liberal  continuing  appropriations  for  the  general  improvement  of  the  Mis- 
sissippi River,  and  such  legislation  as  may  be  deemed  essential  to  enable 
the  Mississippi  River  Commission  to  comply  with  the  expressed  terms  of 
the  organic  act,  and  extend  its  improvement  work  from  Cairo  northward, 
at  least  as  far  as  the  mouth  of  the  Illinois  River. 

Besolved,  That  our  Senators  and  Representatives  in  Congress  be  requested 
to  use  tiieir  best  efforts  to  secure  favorable  action  from  Congress  on  the 
above  petition.

REPORT  OF  ST.  LOUIS  TRAFFIC  BUREAU. 


Bt  E.  S.  THOMPKHfS,  Commissioner. 

January  4th,  1902. 
Board  of  Managers ^  St,  Louis  Traffic  Bureau. 

Gentlemen  —  Under  jonr  able   direction,  the  work   of  the   lYaffic 

Bureau  for  1901  has  brought  beneficial  results,  in  the  removal  of  many 

discriminatioiis  and  a  more  favorable  adjustment  of  rates  for  this  market, 

which  have  proven  profitable  to  our  members. 

The  reduction  in  rates  which  was  made  on  classes  and  commodities  to 

points  on  the  St.  Louis  &  San  Francisco  and  St.  Louis,  Iron  Mountain  & 

Southern  Railroads,  in   Missouri   and  Arkansas;    the  reduction   in  the 

St.  Louis-Memphis  differential  on  Grain  and  Grain  Products  to  certain 

Mississippi  Valley  Territory,  as  well  as  changes  in  the  classifieation,  with 

other  changes  of  interest,  have  all  been  given  to  the  members  by  circulars 

issued  from  this  office. 

The  time  of  one  person  has  been  taken  up  the  past  year  in  giving 

information  to  members,  such  as  the  quotation  of  comparative  rates  on 

Grain  and  Merchandise;  the  compilation  of  comparative  rates   for  our 

manufacturers  of  Soap,  Coffins,  Paint,  etc.    The  increase  in  the  number  of 

requests  of  this  nature  shows  that  many  of  our  members  are  acquainted 

with  the  value  of  this  feature  of  the  Bureau^  in  helping  them  to  extend 

their  trade. 

The  Traffic  Bureau  has  been  represented  at  a  number  of  important 

conferences  of  railroad  officials,  and  the  changes  which  were  needed  for  the 

Grain  trade  and  the  merchants  explained  to  them  in  detail.    In  addition  to 

this,  the  various  lines  have  been  made  acquainted  with  the  difficulties  our 

members  find  in  extending  their  trade  into  territory  reached  by  their 

individual  roads. 

A  number  of  investigations  of  poor  freight  service  from  St.  Louis  have 

been  made,  with  beneficial  results,  but  much  more  could  be  accomplished 

if  members  wonld  give  specific  reference  to  the  shipments  complained  of. 

I  attach  hereto  a  list  of  circulars  issued  by  this  office,  showing  the 

results  of  our  work  and  other  information  of  value  to  our  members.

THX  OITT  OF  ST.  LOUIS.  31 


REVIEW. 


Th«  City  of  Stu  Loots  during  1901,  received  its  full  share  of  the 
industrial  prosperity  of  the  country.  In  every  line  of  business  and  manu- 
bctore  the  reports  show  decided  gains  with  bright  prospects  for  the 
eomiiig  year. 

Business  prosperity  is  reflected  in  the  increase  of  buildings  erected 
both  for  business  and  manufacturing  as  well  as  residence  purposes.  The 
Talueof  building  permits  issued  in  1901,  aggregated  $13,207,991^  while 
those  for  the  previous  year  were  $5,916,984.  During  the  last  half  of  the 
year  few  dwellings  were  for  rent  and  parties  seeldng  a  home  found  great 
difficulty  in  securing  a  desirable  residence,  indicating  an  increase  in 
population  greater  than  the  increase  in  building. 

Hie  same  was  true  as  regards  business  structures.  Although  a  large 
number  of  commodious  warehouses  and  stores  were  erected,  they  were 
occupied  as  soon  as  completed  and  new  firms  coming  to  the  city  had 
difficulty  in  finding  suitable  accomodations. 

The  fact  that  a  great  World's  Fair  is  to  be  held  in  St.  Louis  in  1903, 
drew  the  attention  of  the  country  to  this  city  and  numerous  inquiries  were 
received  in  regard  to  the  facilities  for  manufacturing  plants  and  for 
wholesale  business.  A  number  of  establishments  removed  to  St.  Louis 
from  other  cities,  among  which  were  a  new  department  store  from 
Ridmiondy  Lid.,  a  clothing  house  from  Nashville,  Tenn.,  a  furnishing 
goods  establishment  from  Cincinnati,  a  woolen  mills  firm  from  Kentucky, 
while  a  galvanized  iron  wire  factory  was  erected  in  North  St.  Louis  and 
plans  were  made  for  a  Portland  cement  plant,  and  steps  were  taken  late  in 
the  year  looking  to  the  establishment  of  a  large  underwear  factory  now 
located  in  the  East. 

The  manufacturing  industries  were  very  active  during  the  year  and 
many  factories  enlarged  and  others  projected.     While  there  is  no  report 
upon  wlu'ch  to  base  an  estimate  of  the  product  it  is  safe  to  say  that  the 
amount  of  output  will  be  between  $360,000,000  and  $400,000,000.    With 
plenty  of  the  raw  material  at  hand,  with  cheap  coal  and  unsurpassed  facilities 
tor  disQihution  in  all  directions,  St.  Louis  offers  many  inducements  for 
*MitfoMJ  manufacturing  establishments. 
ProbtLbly  there  wa^  ^^  ^^®  factor  indicating  more  forcibly  the  condition 
oftnde  thf^n  the  el^^^^^  ^'  ^^®  banks.     These  show  a  most  satisfactory 
mmige  being  for  tHe  year  $2,270,680,216  as  against  $1,688,849,494  in  1900, 
JD  ih/tJaip  eanal  to  xie^rly  36%.

Hie  ^'^'^^^  r^V,,^  trust  companies,  making  the  banking  caplUl  and 
BieDt  of  s«v^«VJ^%  tbe  year  $59,387,970.

There  was  great  activity  in  local  stocks  and  bonds,  the  high  prices  realized 
showing  the  strength  and  prosperity  of  all  our  financial  institutions. 

The  post  office  returns  reflect  also  with  great  accuracy  the  yolume  of 
business  transacted.  The  cash  receipts  of  the  St.  Louis  Post  Office  for  the 
year  were  ^,240^429.72,  being  an  increase  of  $208,764.96  over  the  previous 
year. 

The  intemai  revenue  receipts  also  give  a  clear  indication  of  manufactur- 
ing activity.  The  revenue  for  the  year  ending  June  SOtli  was  about 
$16,000,000;  making  this  the  4th  city  in  volume  of  revenue  collections. 

The  large  increase  in  volume  of  business  is  very  forcibly  illustrated 
in  the  amount  of  tonnage  received  and  forwarded  which  includes  all 
kinds  of  freight,  both  local  and  through. 

The  total  tonnage  handled  in  and  out  during  the  year  was  28,758,664 
tons  as  compared  with  25,313,340  tons  in  1900,  an  increase  of  13^  %.  The 
local  tonnage  received,  exclusive  of  coal  which  is  practically  all  local,  was 
7,970,262  tons  agitinst  6,573,975  tons  last  year,  a  gain  of  over  20%,  showing 
the  increased  business  of  the  city.  The  receipts  of  coal  were  4,902,713 
tons  as  compared  with  4,360,299  tons  the  previous  year. 

In  the  lines  of  business  transacted  on  the  floor  of  the  Merchants^ 
Exchange  the  year  was  most  satisfactory.  Although  there  was  a  decrease 
of  18  %  or  nearly  five  million  bushels  in  receipts  of  com,  owing  to  the 
drought  of  the  past  summer,  the  aggregate  receipts  of  grain  show  a  loss  of 
only  1,085;007  bushels,  the  receipts  of  other  grains  having  exceeded  the 
previous  year.  If  the  receipts  of  flour  reduced  to  wheat,  are  included  the 
receipts  of  1901  would  be  69,827,264  bushels  as  against  69,555,619  bushels 
in  1900,  a  most  satisfactory  showing.  The  flour  trade  also  made  a  good 
record,  there  being  an  increase  in  both  the  amount  manufactured  by 
city  mills  and  the  receipts  from  country  points.  In  many  other  articles, 
notably  in  provisions,  hay,  tobacco,  lead,  live  stock  and  wool,  the  amount 
handled  was  greater  than  heretofore. 

In  speculative  lines  there  was  a  larger  and  more  satisfactory  business 
than  for  several  years,  there  being  an  active  market  most  of  the  year. 

In  the  various  jobbing  lines  comes  the  same  unanimity  of  reports — 
enlarged  business  and  satisfactory  results. 

A  review  of  the  dry  goods  trade  in  the  City  of  St.  Louis  for  the  year 
1901,  would  be  a  in  large  measure  to  repeat  the  record  for  the  year  1900  and 
the  previous  years.  The  extraordinary  increase  of  this  branch  of  commerce 
of  the  City  of  St.  Louis  in  the  past  decade  has  been  fully  maintained  the 
past  year.  The  dry  goods  trade  of  St.  Louis  not  only  retained  the 
increases  recorded  in  previous  years  but  largely  added  thereto,  eveiy 
establishment  finding  it  necessary  to  add  to  its  capacity  for  handling  the 
business  offered. 

The  increase  in  the  sales  of  dry  goods,  fnmishing  goods,  notions,  silks, 
millinery  and  kindred  lines  for  the  year  1901,  is  between  25%  and  80%  over 
that  of  1900,  making  the  sum  total  well  over  $100,000,000,  notwithstanding 
that  values  for  1901  were  on  a  slightiy  lower  level  than  for  the  year  1900. 


THB  CTTT  OF  ST.  IiOUIS.  33 

This  remarkable  growth  of  the  wholesale  dry  goods  trade  of  St.  Louis  is 
ttt^ed  without  adding  thereto  the  yolume  of  the  smaller  retail  distributors 
of  diy  goods,  except  in  so  far  as  their  purchases  swell  the  sales  of  the 
wholesale  establishments. 

The  new  territory  gained  during  the  past  years  has  not  only  been 
retained,  but  the  yolume  of  trade  has  also  been  increased. 

The  remarisable  growth  of  the  dry  goods  trade  of  St.  Louis  has  become 
its  best  argument  for  retaining  the  old  business  and  securing  new  trade  in 
sections  that  have  been  doing  business  in  other  jobbing  centers. 

In  no  line  has  there  been  more  marked  adyance  than  in  the  manufacture 
and  distribution  of  shoes.  St.  Louis  now  holds  at  least  second  place  in  the 
manufacture  of  shoes  and  Is  the  largest  jobber  west  of  the  Alleghenys. 

During  the  past  year  new  factories  haye  been  erected^  and  old  ones 
enlarged  and  the  output  is  at  least  30%  greater  than  last  year,  while  the 
total  sales  haye  increased  from  $37,500,000  in  1900,  to  $43,500,000  in  1901. 
A  more  detailed  statement  of  the  shoe  trade  will  be  found  on  another  page. 

The  remarkable  growth  of  the  hardware  business  for  seyeral  years  has 
continued  during  the  past  year,  and  there  has  been  a  yery  considerable 
increase  in  the  yolume  of  sales.  The  business  of  the  year  of  shelf  hardware 
and  kindred  goods  was  fully  $25,000,000  and  if  to  this  is  added  heayy  hard- 
ware, and  the  larger  retail  houses  are  included,  the  total  hardware  sales 
may  be  fixed  at  $37,000,000. 

The  jobbing  hat  interests  haye  kept  pace  with  other  lines  and  reports 
show  an  increase  of  nearly  or  quite  26%  with  sales  aggregating  $7,600,000 
for  the  year. 

St.  Louis  has  made  rapid  progress  in  the  clothing  trade  and  nearly  all 
sold  is  made  in  St.  Louis;  the  business  is  growing  year  by  year.  Reliable 
reports  giye  the  output  for  the  year  at  $7,000,000. 

In  groceries,  reports  show  an  increase  of  20%  to  26%.  This  was  not 
on  account  of  adyance  in  yalue  as  some  of  the  staple  goods  were  sold  at 
lower  prices  than  the  preyious  year,  but  was  a  legitimate  increase  in  busi- 
ness. The  yolume  of  sales  may  be  stated  at  $86,000,000.  A  more  compre- 
hensiye  statement  of  the  grocery  trade  will  be  found  on  another  page. 

St.  Louis  has  always  been  prominent  in  the  saddlery  trade,  and  the  past 
year  was  no  exception.  The  business  increased  yery  largely  the  first  half 
of  the  year,  but  fell  off  the  latter  part,  but  for  the  whole  season  the  increase 
was  perhaps  10%,  making  the  total  output  $6,500,000. 

A  decided  increase  is  reported  in  the  trade  in  iron,  steel  and  kindred 
material,  including  architectural  iron,  bridge  material  and  other  forms  of 
iron  used  in  construction— the  total  output  would  reach  $15,000,000. 

In  stoyes  and  ranges  the  position  of  this  city  as  the  leading  stoye  market 
in  the  country  has  been  well  maintained.  The  adyance  made  in  produc- 
tion was  at  least  12>^%  with  total  sales  at  $6,000,000. 

Reports  from  the  paint  oil  trade  giye  the  total  output  at  $7,000,000,  an 
increase  ot  16^  %  oyer  1900.  Tills  city  is  becoming  more  and  more  of  a 
paint  center  every  year. 


34  TRADE  AND  OOHICEBOE  OF 

In  drugs  and  proprietary  medicines^  St.  Louis  still  holds  the  first  plaoe 
in  the  west.  The  business  is  increasing  yearly  and  a  larger  territory  is 
being  covered.  The  sales  for  1901  of  drugs,  chemicals^  proprietary  medi- 
cines and  kindred  lines  are  given  at  $40,000^000. 

The  business  in  glassware,  queensware  and  goods  pertaining  to  that  line 
is  making  great  progress^  and  it  is  stated  that  American-made  goods  are 
taking  the  place  of  imported  wares  very  rapidly.  A  new  feature  of  the 
trade  was  the  establishment  during  the  year  of  a  plant  for  the  production 
of  fine  cut  glass^  an  industry  heretofore  unknown  in  St.  Louis.  The  sales 
of  queensware  houses  approximated  $2;500;000,  and  if  to  this  is  added  the 
sales  of  plate  and  window  glass  and  other  glass  productions,  the  total 
would  reach  $5^500^000. 

It  is  a  well-known  fact  that  in  the  manufacture  of  tobacco  St.  Louis 
leads  the  world,  manufacturing  at  least  25%  of  the  output  of  the  country. 
The  amount  increases  year  by  year  and  for  1901  was  80,766,883  pounds 
against  76^170,850  pounds  in  1900.  The  sales  of  tobacco  and  cigars  were 
$40,000,000. 

St.  Louis  is  the  largest  manufacturer  of  both  railroad  and  street  cars  in 
the  countiy.  All  the  plants  were  fully  engaged  during  the  entire  year. 
Street  cars  are  shipped  to  all  points  of  the  world  and  it  is  estimated  that 
3,000  cars  are  made  annually,  valued  at  $12,000,000  to  $15,000,00. 

The  brewery  interests  is  one  of  the  most  prominent  of  St.  Louis  indus- 
tries. It  is  estimated  that  $35,000,000  capital  is  invested  in  the  business  and 
the  product  is  sold  in  every  country  on  the  globe.  The  amount  manufac- 
tured during  the  past  year  was  78,050,402  gallons,  valued  at  $17,624,285. 

The  cotton  trade  of  St.  Louis  is  an  important  one  and  adds  much  to  the 
business  of  the  city.  During  the  cotton  year,  ending  August  31, 1901,  the 
gross  receipts  were  973,497  bales,  of  which  the  local  receipts  handled  by 
our  factors  were  239,628  bales,  representing  a  value  of  over  $10,000,000. 

In  many  additional  lines  and  in  fact  in  every  line  of  trade  in  the  city 
there  was  an  increased  and  satisfactory  business,  and  the  future  is  bright 
and  hopeful.  Our  people  are  energetic,  active  and  progressive  and  are 
making  every  effort  to  increase  the  trade  and  commerce  of  the  city,  to 
re-construct  its  streets,  perfect  its  sanitary  condition,  beautify  its  surround- 
ings and  to  make  the  city  an  object  lesson  to  the  millions  of  people  who 
will  visit  it  and  its  great  Fair  in  1903.

THE  WORLD'S  FAIR,  ST.  LOUIS. 


CELEBRATINQ  THE  CENTENNIAL  OF  THE  PURCHASE  OF  THE 

UHJISIANA  TERRITORY,  1803. 


By  WAiiTKB  B.  Stetbks,  Secretary  Louisiana  Purchase  Exposition  Company. 


One  year  ago  the  Louisiana  Purchase  Exposition  was  in  the  realm  of 
suggestion.  National  authority  for  it  waited  upon  Congress.  Legislation 
by  State  and  Municipal  Assembly  to  make  effectiye  Constitutional  Amend- 
ments, authorizing  flnancial  support  was  prospective.  At  the  beginning  of 
1901  subscriptions  to  the  capital  stock  were  not  complete.  There  was  no 
World's  Fair  Company,  only  a  provisional  committee.  The  whole  enter- 
prise was  in  the  preliminary  organization  stage. 

It  seems  hardly  credible  that  a  twelve  month  has  covered  the  necessary 
enactments  by  Congress,  the  State  Legislature,  and  the  Municipal  Assem- 
bly; has  brought  to  pass  the  organization  of  the  company;  has  accom- 
plished the  selection  and  grading  of  the  site;  the  appointment  of  the 
executive  heads,  the  completion  of  plans  for  exhibit  palaces,  the  letting 
of  many  contracts  and  the  performance  of  much  physical  work. 

Less  than  nine  months  ago  controversy  was  waging  on  the  question  of 
location.  Public  sentiment  was  divided.  Partisans  argued  long  and  well 
for  their  respective  choices.  In  the  light  of  progress  it  does  not  now  seem 
as  if  any  other  place  Uian  Forest  Park  could  have  been  seriously  considered. 
One  element  of  doubt,  if  not  of  positive  antagonism,  regarding  the  occu- 
pation of  the  park,  was  based  on  apprehension  that  Washiogton  University 
in  its  new  environment  might  suffer  from  this  close  proximity  to  the  Expo- 
sition. But  with  the  hearty  concurrence  of  the  university  trustees  the 
g^reat  stretch  of  campus  and  all  the  model  buildings  have  become  a  part  of 
the  World's  Fair.  By  the  stroke  of  the  pen  the  110  acres  of  the  university 
have  been  added  to  the  668  acres  of  the  park  site.  The  great  granite  front 
of  the  university  quadrangle,  overlooking  eastward  the  park,  has  become 
tlie  Administration  Building  for  the  Fair,  and  is  being  occupied  by  the 
official  stalb.  The  calendar  of  successive  steps  toward  realization  is  with- 
out precedent  in  Exposition  evoluticm. 

In  January  the  raising  of  five  millions  of  doUars  in  popular  subscrip- 
tions was  completed. 

February  brought  the  Legislative  enactments  by  State  and  City,  con- 
tributing one  million  of  dollars  by  the  former  and  five  million  of  dollars  by 
the  latter  to  the  Exposition. 


36  TRADB  AH D  OOMKBBOa  OF 

March  placed  the  seal  of  National  approval  and  authority  bj  Act  of 
Congress  appropriating  five  millions  of  dollars  and  providing  for  the 
National  Commission,  which  the  President  of  the  United  States  promptly 
appointed. 

Thus  the  first  quarter  of  the  year  carried  the  enterprise  to  the  assurance 
of  financial  success,  and  to  official  recognition  by  the  Nation. 

In  April  the  local  company  was  incorporated  with  the  election  of  93 
directors. 

May  witnessed  the  organization  tlirough  the  selection  of  officers,  and 
the  beginning  of  work  along  many  lines  through  committees  of  directors. 
Public  interest  culminated  in  the  tender  by  the  city  of  any  of  the  parks  for 
the  site. 

In  June,  after  an  exhaustive  investigation  and  protracted  hearings,  the 
western  half  of  Forest  Park,  heavily  wooded,  diversified  in  topography, 
situated  in  the  western  part  of  this  oval-shaped  city,  was  chosen  as  the 
location,  contiguous  territory  to  be  added  as  found  necessary. 

The  second  quarter  of  the  year  brought  the  project  through  the  stage 
of  organization  and  to  the  initiation  of  physical  work. 

In  July  a  commission  of  nine  firms  of  architects,  the  most  eminent  in 
the  land,  representing  half  a  dozen  cities,  was  organized.  To  this  com- 
mission was  given  the  task  of  planning  the  exhibit  palaces  and  their 
arrangement  on  the  grounds. 

August  produced  results  in  the  adoption  of  the  comprehensive  designs 
for  the  improvement  of  the  site  and  for  the  group  of  main  exhibit  palaces. 
The  Board  of  Directors  appropriated  five  millions  of  dollars  for  the  com- 
mencement of  construction. 

In  September,  the  President  of  the  United  States,  upon  the  progress 
certified  by  the  National  Commission,  issued  a  proclamation  officially 
declaring  the  Exposition  fully  provided  for,  and  inviting  all  the  nations  of 
the  earth  to  participate.  Official  notices  went  forth  to  every  capital  on  the 
globe. 

The  third  quarter  advanced  the  Exposition  to  its  international  position. 

October  brought  development  of  the  executive  forces,  with  provision  for 
four  grand  divisions,  to  be  presided  over  by  officials  designated  as  Director 
of  Exhibits,  Director  of  Works,  Director  of  Exploitation  and  Director  of 
Concessions  and  Admissions.  Two  of  tliese  places  were  at  once  formally 
filled. 

With  November  came  the  fruition  of  carefully  conducted  negotiations 
in  the  addition  of  the  110  acres  of  Washington  University  campus  and  of  the 
one  million,  five  hundred  thousand  dollars  in  practically  completed  build- 
ings to  the  World^s  Fair  site.  Upon  the  perfected  plans  for  the  eight  main 
exhibit  palaces  the  Directors  and  the  National  Commission  placed 
approval. 

December  found  the  wilderness  of  forest  transformed  into  building  sites 
•with  grading  underway;  the  contract  for  enclosure  let;  the  plan  for  an 
elaborate  sewer  system  completed  and  the  contract  given.    On  the  90th  of 


THK  CTTT  OV  ST.  LOUIS.  37 

the  month,  Oie  anniversary  of  the  trmnsfer  of  the  Purchase  to  American 
eo^crei^ty,  gronnd  -was  broken  on  the  site  with  formal  and  impressiye 
wfemomes. 

Coimt\e8B  minor  details  have  been  put  behind. 

Dvy  \fj  day  the  progress  of  the  Louisiana  Purchase  Exposition  might 
V  noted.  The  twenty-three  thousand  subscribers  have  paid  two  assess- 
mcgita,  30%,  on  the  $6,000,000  stock.  The  City  of  St.  Louis  has  prepared 
the  isme  of  $5,000,000  of  bonds.  Chiefs  of  Departments,  under  the  four 
IHreetorB  of  Diyisions,  have  been  named.  The  best  Exposition  talent  of 
the  whole  conntry  has  been  drawn  upon.  The  classification  divided  into 
fifteen  departments,  144  groups,  and  807  classes,  has  receiyed  final  approval 
Hid  has  been  sent  out  to  thousands  of  intending  exhibitors.  Rules  and 
Teguladons,  abounding  in  details  of  official  information,  have  been  promul- 
gated. Acceptances  to  the  invitation  of  the  President  of  the  United  States 
luiYe  been  received  from  fully  one-half  the  nations  of  the  earth,  with  indi- 
cations justifying  the  hope  of  a  Universal  Exposition. 

But  it  takes  more  than  money,  more  than  organization,  more  than  con- 
stmction  to  make  an  Exposition.  More  than  all  these,  the  Louisiana  Pur- 
chase Exposition  will  have.  Its  distinctive  character  is  already  casting 
flbadowB  before. 

By  the  Centennial,  at  Philadelphia,  manufacturing  industry  in  the 
United  States  was  given  a  tremendous  impetus,  which  has  had  far-reaching 
and  continuing  effect  upon  the  National  development. 

Through  the  World^s  Columbian  Exposition,  at  Chicago,  the  artistic 
sense  of  the  American  people  was  aroused  and  encouraged  mightily. 

What  shall  be  the  genius  of  the  Louisiana  Purchase  Exposition?  Ten 
years  ago  an  independent  department  of  education  had  no  place  in  a 
Worid'^9  Fair.  Educational  exhibits  were  classed  in  a  group  and  were  dis- 
played in  a  gallery  comer  of  a  main  exhibit  building. 

In  the  classification  adopted  and  promulgated  for  the  Louisiana  Purchase 
Exposition,  education  is  Department  A  on  an  alphabetical  list  which  ends 
widi  P — Physical  Culture. 

"  Sound  mind  in  healthy  body  !^^  The  Latin  sequence  is  observed  in  the 
scope  of  the  Louisiana  Purchase  Exposition. 

Eight  groups  and  twenty-six  classes  go  to  make  up  this  foremost  of  the 
departments  of  the  Louisiana  Purchase  Exposition.  At  Paris  the  educa- 
tSonal  exhibits  made  by  the  United  States  in  1900  were  the  wonder  of  all 
other  nations.  At  St.  Louis,  American  educational  methods  will  be  elabo- 
rated on  a  much  more  impressive  plan.  The  chief  of  this  department  was 
nominated  by  twenty-five  of  the  foremost  educators  of  the  land,  a  com- 
mittee of  college  presidents  and  teachers  chosen  by  the  National  Educa- 
tioiial  Aoociation.  Education  will  have  its  own  palace  of  exhibits — one 
<rf  the  most  imposing  of  the  main  buildings,  most  centrally  located,  and 
Bering  eeveTsd  acres  of  floor  space  for  display. 
A  second  building,  designed  in  its  interior  arrangements  for  the  purpose, 
^  bouse  B  series  of  international  congresses  upon  science,  literature  and 


/ 


38  TRADE  AXD  COMMSBCE  OF 

art.  These  congresses  will  constitute  an  independent  department  with  its 
own  organization,  but  supplementary  to  the  general  motive  which  ranks 
education  as  broadest  of  the  Exposition's  purposes. 

Art  is  Department  B  in  the  classification^  to  be  housed  in  a  building  for 
which  one  million  of  dollars  has  been  set  apart.  And  art  will  mean  some- 
thing more  than  wall  space  with  pictures.  The  inspiration  of  the  educa- 
tional plan  again  finds  its  expression  in  this  department.  For  the  first  time 
in  an  intertemational  exposition  special  galleries  will  be  provided  for 
models  of  buildingS;  sculptural  decorations,  mural  paintings,  wood  carvings 
and  decorative  details.  The  classification  of  this  department  is  upon  a  plan 
much  more  comprehensive  than  heretofore.  The  Exposition  buildings  and 
their  decorations  will  be  recognized  as  exhibits  of  the  Art  Department, 
entered  for  such  awards  as  may  be  conferred. 

One  more  feature,  as  indicative  of  this  dominating  characteristic  of  the 
Louisiana  Purchase  Exposition,  educational  in  the  best  sense,  may  be  men- 
tioned. For  the  first  time  in  exposition  history,  social  economy  is  magni- 
fied into  one  of  the  great  departments.  In  this  department  twentieth 
century  reform  ideas  and  suggestions  will  be  given  full  opportunity. 
Thirteen  groups  and  fifty -seven  classes  are  comprised  under  social  economy. 
Among  the  groups  are  municipal  improvement,  public  health,  charities 
and  corrections,  general  betterment  movements,  the  liquor  question,  the 
housing  of  the  working  classes,  provident  institutions,  methods  of  indus- 
trial remuneration,  organization  of  industrial  workers.  State  regulation  of 
industry  and  labor. 

Liberal  arts  and  manufactures  are  not  combined  as  heretofore,  but  are 
made  separate  and  distinct  departments,  each  with  its  chief.  Three  build- 
ings will  be  provided.  One  of  the  three  buildings  will  cover  fourteen  and 
another  seven  acres  of  space.  Under  liberal  arts  the  Louisiana  Purchase 
Exposition  will  classify  appliances  and  general  processes  which  belong  to 
literature,  science  and  art.  Under  manufactures  will  be  grouped  the 
articles  of  necessity,  utility  and  luxury.  Textiles  will  constitute  a  section 
in  a  separate  building.  Machinery  will  be  a  department  independent  of 
liberal  arts  and  manufactures.  In  four  great  groups  will  be  shown  steam 
engines,  motors,  general  machinery  and  machine  tools.  The  department 
of  electricity  will  present  the  approved  types  of  dynamos  and  motors,  the 
newest  ideas  in  telegraphy  and  telephony,  the  systems  of  electric  lighting, 
the  uses  of  the  current  in  all  of  the  latest  forms. 

In  the  department  of  transportation  this  Exposition  will  do  more  than 
include  exhibits  of  vehicles  past  and  present.  It  will  explore  the  future. 
It  will  endeavor  to  stimulate,  by  holding  out  great  inducements,  practical 
results  in  aerial  navigation  far  beyond  anything  the  world  has  yet  known. 
There  will  be  a  small  fortune  for  the  inventor  who  presents  a  solution  of 
the  great  problem  in  aerostatics.  A  tournament  with  from  $100,000  to 
$200,000  in  prizes  will  bring  together,  in  competition,  the  aeronauts  of  the 
world. 

Agriculture  will  be  housed  in  the  greatest  of  the  exhibit  buildings, 
perhaps  the  largest  exposition  building  ever  erected.    In  this  department, 


TRB  OITr  OF  ST.  IiOITIB.  39 

live  stocky  bee  culture,  dairying  and  special  crop  growing,  farm  engineering^ 
fum  buildings  and  farm  transportation,  will  constitute  important  groups. 
Food  and  food  products  and  all  the  appliances  pertaining  to  them  will 
receive  exliaustive  attention. 

Horticulture,  often  classed  as  part  of  agriculture  by  experts  Iq  expos!- 
don  work,  is  made  a  department  of  itself  in  the  Louisiana  Purchase  classi- 
fication. Under  this  head  will  be  classed  viticulture,  pomology,  aboriculture 
and  floriculture. 

Forestry  is  also  a  distinct  department.  Forest  products,  an  industry 
which  stood  for  nine  hundred  millions  of  dollars  in  the  United  States  in 
1900,  will  be  given  such  an  opportunity  as  never  before  conceded. 

In  mines  and  metallurgy  it  is  the  purpose  to  show  not  only  the  minerals 
but  the  successive  steps  which  make  those  minerals  useful.  Processes  from 
mining  the  ore  through  the  metallurgical  stages  to  the  finished  product 
will  be  in  operation. 

In  the  department  of  fish  and  game  are  comprised  groups  of  hunting 
and  fishing  equipment  and  products. 

For  the  department  of  anthropolgy,  to  illustrate  prehistoric  man,  there 
is  in  contemplation  a  reproduction  of  the  famous  ruins  of  Mitla  of  Southern 
Mexico. 

Social  Economy  will  be  distinguished  as  one  of  the  great  departments 
of  this  £xi>08ition.  Social  economic  exhibits  have  been  receiving  increas- 
ing recognition  in  Expositions,  but  have  never  before  been  accorded  a 
separate  department  and  building. 

A  Washington  University  structure,  containing  a  number  of  halls,  will 
be  erected  and  specially  adapted  to  International  Congresses. 

In  an  amphitheatre  and  upon  an  athletic  field  will  be  conducted,  under 
a  chief  of  physical  culture,  games,  tournaments  and  sports,  the  series  of 
programmes  occupying  the  Exposition  period. 

The  Louisiana  Purchase  Exposition  was  not  actually  assured  until  Con- 
gress, on  the  3rd  of  March,  1901,  passed  the  Act  conferring  government 
sanction,  and  making  the  government  a  third  partner  in  the  capital  of 
$15,000,000  to  be  expended. 

States  and  Territorial  Legislatures,  then  in  session^  followed  with  sur- 
prising promptness,  making  appropriations  and  providing  for  commissions 
10  represent  their  interests  at  the  Exposition.  Missouri  leads  in  the  list  of 
States  with  $1,000,000,  Illinois  is  second  with  $250,000.  In  some  States 
where  Legislatures  have  not  been  in  session  since  the  Exposition  was  made 
a  certainty,  commissions  have  been  named  by  the  governors,  and  move- 
ments to  insure  participation  through  voluntary  contributions  have  been 
inaugurated.  In  the  ten  months  which  have  elapsed  since  action  at  Wash- 
mgton  favorable  steps  have  been  taken  formally  in  more  than  half  of  the 
Sutes. 

A  feature  which  will  be  among  the  most  interesting,  and  which  will 
distinguish  the  Louisiana  Purchase  Exposition  from  all  former  Expositions, 
will  be  participation  by  the  Islands  of  the  United  States.    Hawaii,  Porto 


40  TBADB  AND  OOKICBBOB  OF 

Rico  and  the  Philippines^  not  to  mention  those  smaller  islands,  Guam 
and  Tutuila,  over  which  the  American  flag  now  floats,  will  occupy  no 
inconsiderable  space. 

Such  progress  in  preparations  as  has  characterized  1901  could  have  been 
achieved  only  with  zealous  co-operation  of  a  united  community.  An 
antagonistic,  aggressive  minority  might  have  caused  delay.  How  thor- 
oughly and  heartily  the  City  of  St.  Louis  is  committed  to  the  success  of 
this  great  enterprise  was  shown  in  an  election,  held  in  October,  to  amend 
the  city  charter.  The  amendments,  if  not  vital,  had  a  most  important 
relation  to  the  Fair.  They  were  framed  to  give  boulevards,  sewer  exten- 
sion, street  pavement  and  other  municipal  betterments  on  such  a  scale  as 
to  make  a  new  St.  Louis.  They  were  designed  to  warrant  the  expenditure 
of  ten  millions  of  ^dollars  in  improvements.  They  were  adopted  by  a 
marvelous  majority.    Almost  five-sixths  of  the  votes  cast  were  affirmative. 

This  record  of  twelve  months'  progress  toward  a  World's  Fair  made  by 
the  Company,  by  the  City  of  St.  Louis,  by  the  fourteen  States  and  Territo- 
ries of  the  Louiriana  Purchase,  by  the  Nation,  by  the  world,  has  no  parallel 
precedent  in  the  history  of  Expositions.

FINANCIAL  REVIEW. 


By  T.  A.  Stoddabt,  Manager  of  the  St.  Louis  Clearing  House. 


Upon  an  examination  of  the  snbjoined  statement^  it  will  be  seen  that 
the  year  1901  has  broken  all  previoos  records  of  transactions  in  local 
financial  circles,  the  increase  in  capitalization  is  a  remarkable  feature, 
tdded  to  which  is  a  large  increase  of  deposits. 

The  banks  and  trust  companies  distribution  of  liberal  dividends  to 
share  holders  is  evidence  tliat  the  business  of  the  year  has  proven  profit- 
able. 

The  daily  clearings  for  the  year  show  a  steady  gain  over  corresponding 
dates  of  all  previous  years. 

In  comparison  with  the  total  for  the  year  1900,  which  was  the  former 
record  year,  when  the  aggregate  was  $1,688,849,494,  the  year  1901  foots  up 
$2,270,680,216,  an  excess  of  ^1,830,722  nearly  85%. 

Between  the  years  1872  and  1901  a  large  increase  in  the  volume  of 
business  is  shown. 

In  1872  there  were  58  banks  with  capital  and  surplus  of  $20,196,098. 
Clearings  for  the  year  $494,585,276.  In  1901  there  were  80  banks  and 
trust  companies  with  capital  and  surplus  of  $59,337,970.  Clearings  for  the 
year  $2,270,680,216. 

The  comparative  figures  of  the  nineteen  banks  and  eight  trust  com- 
panies between  December,  1900,  and  December,  1901,  is  as  follows :

STOCKS  AND  INVESTMENT  SECURITIES. 

By  J.  H.  DiKGKHAN,  President  St.  Louis  Stock  Exchange. 


Transactions  on  the  St.  Louis  Stock  Exchange  during  the  year  1901  far 
exceed  any  preyious  yearly  record,  in  number  of  shares  and  bonds  handled 
and  amount  involved. 

The  Stock  Exchange  Records  show  the  following  totals  of  each  class  of 

securities  traded  in : 

Shares.  Value. 

Bank  stocks 28,906  $  6,814,154  60

A  total  valuation  of  both  stocks  and  bonds  of. .  $85,899,716  67 

The  market  throughout  the  year  was  very  active,  with  advancing  prices 
from  the  early  part  of  the  year  to  its  close,  the  closing  on  the  last  business 
day  of  the  year  being  active  and  at  prices  almost  equal  to  the  highest  of 
the  year. 

Transactions  during  the  year  were  especially  heavy  in  bank  stocks,  trust 
company  stocks,  and  traction  securities. 

That  St.  Louis  is  fast  growing  in  wealth  is  clearly  shown  In  the  large 
investment  demand  for  municipal  bonds,  the  underlying  bonds  of  the 
United  Bailways  Co.,  bank  stocks,  and  the  established  trust  company 
stocks.  The  first  two  securities  named  have  found  their  way  into  strong 
boxes,  and  have  practically  disappeared  from  the  market — the  same  thing 
is  true,  but  not  to  the  same  extent,  of  bank  stocks  and  the  older  trust  com- 
pany stocks. 

Money  has  been  in  good  supply  at  reasonable  rates,  enabling  brokers  to 
carry  their  trades  with  ease. 

St.  Louis  to-day  has  a  very  much  larger  banking  and  trust  company 
capital  than  Chicago,  and  such  capital  is  constantly  being  increased  by  the 
formation  of  new  trust  companies. 

Considering  that  the  St.  Louis  Stock  Exchange  is  a  young  institution, 
and  that  only  local  securities  are  traded  in  on  its  floor,  the  record  made  the 
past  year  is  most  gratifying,  and  will  compare  favorably  in  point  of  local 
business  done  with  any  other  stock  exchange  in  the  country.

MANUFACTURING  INDUSTRIES. 


By  Tom  L.  Ganhoh,  Secretary  St.  Louis  Manufacturers'  Association. 


Pwenty  years  ago  railroads,  considering  the  question  of  making  8t.  Louis 
basing  point  for  shipments  to  and  from  the  city^  decided  that  the  manu- 
actoring  industries  of  the  city  were  not  of  sufficient  importance  to  include 
that  class  of  freight  from  this  point  as  a  point  of  distributien,  and  instead 
gaTe  to  New  York,  Boston  and  Philadelphia  advantageous  freight  rates  on 
manufactured  products  over  this  city,  and  gave  to  this  city  advantageous 
rates  over  those  cities  for  the  distribution  of  agricultural  products. 

The  growth  of  the  manufacturing  interests  of  the  City  of  St.  Louis  since 
1880  has  been  phenomenal,  and  has  thrown  St.  Louis  from  the  seventh  rank 
to  at  least  the  third  in  point  of  manufacturing  output. 

The  story  is  best  told  by  figures  in  tabulated  form  as  follows: 

1880.  1890.  1900. 

Number  of  factories 2,924  6,148  8,827 

Number  of  employes 41,827  98,610  142,604 

Amount  of  wages  paid $  17,743,682  $  58,166,242  $  87,088,064 

Value  of  products  at  factories 114,888,876  228,714  817  412,716,884 

This  shows  a  tremendous  growth,  marvelous  in  every  particular  and 
profitable  in  every  respect.  These  figures  are  made  largely  from  statistics 
taken  from  national  reports. 

The  City  of  St.  Louis  depends  upon  the  territory  surrounding  it.  That 
territory  constitutes  the  Mississippi  Valley.  That  territory  is  practically 
the  garden  spot  of  the  world.    Again  some  statistics  are  as  follows : 

In  that  section  in  1860  the  farms  numbered  370,820;  in  1890,  2,670,617. 
In  1860  the  acreage  of  these  farms  was  90,018,000 ;  in  1900  it  was  870,164,321. 

The  improved  acreage  of  these  farms  in  1860  was  26,404,000.  In  1900 
the  improved  acres  had  increased  to  380,416,000. 

In  1850  the  value  of  those  farms  was  $789,482,000;  in  1900,  (8,764,648,660. 

In  1860  the  railroad  mileage  was  344;  in  1900,  78,648. 

The  manufacturing  situation  in  this  section  cannot  be  estimated  back  of 
1870.    For  that  year,  as  compared  with  1900,  the  following  table  is  given : 

1870.  ISOO. 

Number  of  establishments 61,910  96,482 

Capital  invested $281,126,900  $2,118,690,460 

Material  used $866,161,000  $2,841,169,400

46  TBADB  AXD  OOMXBBOB  OF 

The  figures  of  the  Mississippi  Valley^  the  natural  territory  of  St.  Louis, 
has  caused  the  substantial  prosperity  of  St.  Louis.  Based  upon  the  prog- 
ress of  that  section,  relying  upon  its  resources,  men  have  invested  in  the 
City  of  St.  Louis  with  the  same  care  that  they  would  buy  bank  stocks  or 
take  mortgages  upon  land. 

There  are  no  tremendous  fortunes  that  have  been  made  in  manufacturing. 
The  percentages  of  failures  has  been  less  than  any  other  city,  and  the 
margin  of  profit  upon  an  average  has  been  greater. 

The  majority  of  the  concerns  are  practically  out  of  debt.  They  not 
only  own  their  machinery,  but  they  own  their  buildings  and  their  land,  and 
few  of  them  have  bonds  placed  upon  their  institutions. 

The  commercial  paper  of  St.  Louis  always  commands  a  premium  in  the 
market,  and  money  at  the  lowest  possible  rate  can  be  had  upon  St.  Louis 
property. 

T}^e  city  is  seldom  convulsed  by  great  strikes.  Discontent  among  the 
workmen  of  the  city  is  less  in  proportion  to  number  than  any  other  city. 

There  are  a  number  of  lines  of  industry  in  which  St.  Louis  leads,  not 
only  the  United  States  but  the  w^orld  —  steel  ranges,  chemical  preparations, 
patent  medicines,  shoes,  street  cars,  beer,  and  various  other  lines  that  need 
not  be  enumerated. 

There  are  a  number  of  lines  of  manufactures  that  would  pay  well  in 
St.  Louis  that  are  in  their  infancy,  or  in  some  instances  not  represented  — 
cotton  mills,  plows,  reapers,  binders,  mowers  and  other  lines. 

There  is  room  here  for  several  large  hardware  concerns,  dry  goods, 
millinery,  clothing.  Nearly  any  lines  of  manufactured  products  can  be 
increased,  and  when  more  of  any  one  line  are  established  it  is  profitable  to 
the  new-comers,  because  of  the  constant  increase  of  trade. 

There  are  discriminations  in  this  city  against  manufacturers  that  should 
be  removed,  and  in  time  will  be.  There  are  some  discriminations  here  that 
do  not  exist  in  any  other  city.  There  are  also  discriminations  in  other 
cities  that  do  not  exist  here. 

This  market  is  growing  greater  every  day  as  a  distributing  point.  The 
territory  surrounding  it  is  becoming  more  accessible  and  the  demands  are 
increasing.  What  was  formerly  the  great  American  desert  is  now  being 
populated  by  thrifty  farmers.  Small  towns  and  small  cities  are  growing 
up,  all  to  be  fed  from  this  metropolis. 

One  dry  goods  house  here  will  take  the  output  of  an  ordinary  print 
mill ;  the  same  house  will  take  the  output  of  an  ordinary  cotton  mill  for 
sheetings  and  domestics. 

These  illustrations  are  but  given  to  indicate  the  advisability  of  seeking 
St.  Louis  as  a  place  to  establish  manufacturing  industries.

REAL  ESTATE. 


Fran  the  Anniial  Keport  of  Sidvmy  Scbiklb,  Assistant  Becaretary  St.  Louis 

Real  Estate  Exchange. 


The  year  IdOl,  from  the  Tiew  of  the  real  estate  agent,  has  been  a  notable 
one,  for  it  has  ushered  in  the  new  St.  Lonis  era,  a  period  which  may  be 
expected  to  reach  its  climax  during  the  Louisiana  Purchase  World ^s  Fair, 
two  years  hence.  It  noarks  the  passage  of  the  charter  amendments,  which, 
by  Tote  of  the  people  loosened  the  legislatiye  fetters  that  have  long  bound 
the  dty  and  restricted  its  unprecedented^  though  not  abnormal  growth.  It 
ushered  in  a  building  movement  which  vdll  regenerate  much  of  the  central 
districL  It  has  given  to  this  city  a  new  Washington  University,  an  institu- 
tion of  learning  ranked  as  the  center  of  educational  iniluence  in  the 
Mississippi  Valley. 

The  largest  realty  transaction,  financially,  yet  recorded,  involving 
unimproved  property  was  consummated  late  in  the  year  in  the  merging  of 
interests  by  which  the  property  immediately  north  of  Forest  Park  and  west 
of  De  Balivier  avenue  is  preserved  perpetually  as  a  residence  subdivision. 

Ground  has  finally  been  broken  for  the  great  Fair  to  commemorate  the 
purchase  of  the  vast  territory  out  of  which  was  carved  the  common- 
wealths of  the  Central  West  and  South. 

The  aggregate  list  of  transfers  of  real  estate,  that  infallible  barometer 
of  business  conditions,  amounted  to  $84,265,480,  showing  an  increase 
gratifying  in  extent,  though  somewhat  below  the  anticipations  of  the  men 
identified  with  the  handling  of  property.  Exceeding  the  thirty  million 
mark,  they  show  indisputably  the  confidence  which  investors  have  in 
Sc  Louis  really  and  the  ever-present  desire  to  own  one-s  home,  inherent 
in  all  Americans. 

St.  Louis  is  receiving  more  attention  at  the  hands  of  the  transportation 
interests.  Switching  facilities  are  being  enlarged,  yards  laid  out,  terminals 
amplified  and  belt  lines  constructed  and  under  way  to  meet  the  need  for 
eoncentration  and  rapid  handling  of  freight  so  necessary  to  the  manu- 
faeturer^  merchant  and  shipper.  The  wholesale  and  jobbing  interests  have 
during  the  year  turned  their  attention  even  more  assiduously  to  future 
needs.  Studjong  local  conditions,  these  immense  interests  have,  with 
steel,  stone,  brick  and  mortar  gone  westward  or  in  other  directions  beyond 
the  limits  set  by  prophets.  Washington  avenue  and  the  parallel  thorough- 
fares have  been  built  up  west  of  Twelfth  street.  Factories  have  spread 
north  of  Jefferson  avenue.  The  east  end  has  seen  grand  old  buildings 
wrecked  to  make  room  for  modem  ones.  Enterprising  manufacturers  have 
reared  plants  along  the  Mill  Creek  Valley  and  dotted  the  Cupples  district 
with  establishments  of  industry,  and  warehouses  for  their  products  as  far 
iresi  as  the  city  limits..  Along  the  Mississippi  Biver,  from  Baden  to 
(^wmdeht,  new  /Victories,  mills  and  plants  have  been  put  up,  railroads  and 
Aippen  working  hand  in  hand.  As  newer  manufacturing  districts  were 
opened  up  an  J  older  ones  enlarged  there  has  been  a  corresponding  growth 


48  TBADB  AND  OOMMBBOE  OF 

in  the  residential  qnartera.  Stores^  homes  for  workmen  and  palatial 
residences  follow  in  due  course,  all  indicating  a  systematic  and  thorough 
movement  pointing  to  the  development  of  a  city  of  one  million  people. 
St.  Louis  is  the  gateway  of  the  southwest,  and  that  is  daily  becoming  more 
apparent. 

TRANSFERS. 

The  transfers  for  the  year  1900  aggregated  $19,211,943;  those  of  1901 
show  a  splendid  increase^  as  follows : 

Number.  Amount. 

January 680  $2  014 176 

February 628  1,443,887 

March 642  1 ,877,604 

April 696  3,186,797 

May 718  4,960,718 

June 714  3,701,686 

July 686  4,006,672 

August 640  1,317,187 

September 707  1,679,206^ 

October 747  2,429,784 

November 601  2,798,134 

December 482  5,717,064 

Totals 7,629  $36,021,096 

The  years  totals  in  transfers  show  interesting  fluctations  from  month  to 
month.  December,  the  last  month  of  the  year,  has  to  its  credit  deals 
aggregating  nearly  $6,000,000.  July  also  passed  $4,000,000.  During  two 
other  months  in  the  first  half  of  the  year  there  was  a  recorded  business  in 
excess  of  $3,000,000.  Three  other  months  foot  up  over  $2,000,000  each.  In 
the  preceding  year  only  one  month  had  over  $2,000,000  of  recorded 
transfers.  Such  facts  as  these  are  eloquent  of  a  greater  revival,  generally 
foreseen. 

RENTING. 

Renting  has  been  unusually  good.  With  the  prosperity  of  recent  years 
came  a  desire  among  the  army  of  new  tenants  to  occupy  better  and  larger 
quarters,  and  removals,  consequently,  were  many.  New-comers  promptly 
filled  up  the  vacated  houses.  Where  dwellings  were  in  good  repair  no 
trouble  was  experienced  in  keeping  them  tenanted.  The  members  of  the 
Real  Estate  Exchange  generally  have  depreciated  raising  rents  except  in  a 
few  cases  where  they  were  manifestly  below  normal  prices,  on  the  theory 
that  it  would  be  bad  policy  to  let  impressions  get  abroad  that  rents  were 
being  advanced  because  of  the  near  proximity  of  the  World's  Fair.  Rentals 
are  governed  by  the  law  of  supply  and  demand,  and  its  decree  have  not 
borne  harshly  on  any  class  of  tenants,  and  they  are  at  a  figure  where  own- 
ing property  is  profitable  to  the  investor  who  risks  his  capital  for  the  sake 
of  fair  returns.  Nevertheless,  so  scarce  have  moderate-sized  dwellings 
become  in  the  past  three  months,  that  hundreds  of  building  permits  have 


TBM  OMTY  OF  8T.  LOUZB. 


49 


l)een  iasiied  for  that  class  of  new  stractures.  Industrial  construction  work 
is  in  keeping  with  the  general  actlTlty,  doubtless  brought  about  by  a  wider 
knowledge  of  the  adyaotages  of  St.  Louis  from  a  distributing  and  fuel  point. 

BUILDING. 

Large  increases  are  shown  in  the  yearns  building  permits^  viz : 

No.  Brick.  No.  Frame.         Total  Value. 

January 75  92  $1,296,218 

February 67  96  686,614 

March 120  126  911,988 

April 119  126  727,622 

May 122  186  1,296,864 

June   117  146  1,842,104 

July 104  189  1,498,288 

August 106  182  786,171 

September 88  126  642,291 

October 147  160  1,012,819 

Kovember 99  148  759,801 

December 92  88  2,860,801 

Totals 1,266  1,608  $18,207,991 

The  figures  from  the  Building  Commissioner's  office  show  that  permits 
for  new  structures  the  past  year  numbered  oyer  double  those  of  the  previous 
twelve  months,  the  permits  last  year  amounting  to  $5,916,984.  The 
advance  is  unprecedented  in  recent  years.  Taking  the  monthly  totals  for 
1901,  the  top  notch  was  reached  in  December,  when  they  nearly  attained 
the  $2,000,000  mark.  In  1892,  the  banner  year  for  building,  the  total  was 
$16,000,000.  Ttiat  year  the  grand  total  was  swelled  owing  to  the  era  of  new 
office  buildings  which  developed  at  that  time,  and  which  apparently  has 
now  been  reinaugurated  on  a  greater  scale. 

Prices  for  materials  are  higher  than  during  the  past  few  years,  but  no 
higher  than  those  which  prevailed  in  1901,  when  all  building  records  were 
broken,  and  conservative  men  predict  that  they  will  not  be  prohibitive 
even  during  the  unprecedented  activity  which  the  Fair  of  1908  will  bring 
about. 

ASSESSMENTS. 

Property  in  St.  Louis  is  usually  assessed  at  about  60  per  cent  of  its  valu- 
ation. The  comparative  growth  is  shown  by  these  tabulated  items  from 
the  Assessor's  records: 

1877 $160,496,000 

1880 181,846,000 

1886 207,910,000 

1800 284,827,000 

1896 826,688,000 

1897 888,862,000

The  rate  of  taxation  for  1901;  as  established  by  the  Municipal  Assembly 
was  $1.90  on  the  $100  valuation^  which  is  a  reduction  of  5  cents  from  the 
rate  of  the  preceding  year.  The  city  in  1867,  had  over  27,000  taxpayers; 
in  1901,  there  were  over  76,000.  These  "joint  partners"  in  the  municipality 
pay  all-told  taxes  on  a  valuation  of  $894,795,700,  an  increase  in  assessment 
over  the  prior  year  of  over  $14,000,000. 

DEEDS  OF  TRUST. 

In  the  year  just  closing  the  deeds  of  trust  amounted  to:

*In  this  month  the  bond  mortgage  in  a  railroad  company  deal  was  filed 
for  record. 

The  Supreme  Court  of  Missouri  on  June  22,  decided  the  test  case 
adverse  to  the  Third  Constitutional  Amendment  relating  to  the  taxation  of 
mortgages.  This  amendment,  immediately  after  its  passage,  had  the  effect 
of  deterring  moneyed  men,  for  a  time,  from  investing  in  Missouri  mort- 
gages, and  the  loan  business  was  thereby  seriously  interfered  with,  but  the 
judicial  decree  has  wiped  out  this  troublesome  feature. 


THE  SHOE  TRADE. 

From  the  Shoe  and  Leather  Gazette. 


THE  YEAB  IN  ST.  LOUIS  — THE  GREATEST  JLKD  BEST  OF  ALL  TEARS 

IN  THE  SHOE  BUSINESS. 

The  year  1901  certainly  did  well  by  the  St.  Louis  wholesale  shoe  market, 
and  the  local  shoe  manufacturing  interests.  Not  one  institution  has  made 
a  backward  step ;  not  one  has  failed  to  make  good  progress  forward,  and  to 
establish  itself  still  more  solidly,  to  extend  its  territory  more  widely,  and 
to  add  to  its  facilities  for  coming  business. 

There  has  been  an  increase  in  the  capital  employed ;  in  the  number  of

out;  in  the  number  of  new  customers  added;  and  in  the  grand  total  of 


1*HB  OXTT  OF  m.  LOUU.  51 

sales  and  shipments.  No  one  year  in  the  history  of  St.  Louis  has  ever 
witnessed  so  general  an  advance,  all  along  the  line^  and  prospects  for  the 
fature  were  never  better. 

A  noticeable  and  most  gratifying  feature  of  the  St.  Louis  shoe  trade  of 
1901  was  the  increase  in  average  price  per  pair.  That  is  to  say^  there  has 
been  a  general  demand  for  better  shoes,  and  local  firms  have  not  fallen 
behind  the  demand  in  their  ability  to  supply  it.  The  finer  grades  in  jobbing 
lines  have  been  well  kept  up,  and  local  factories  have  turned  out  an  unusual 
amount  of  fine  goods,  both  men^s  and  women^s.  '^St.  Louis  made  shoes'* 
are  specially  advertised  by  a  number  of  firms  as  among  their  best  $2.60, 
$3.00  and  $3.50  goods. 

The  increases  in  the  average  price  per  pair  reported  by  the  various 
houses  in  St.  Louis  run  from  eight  cents  to  twenty-six  cents,  as  compared 
with  the  same  averages  of  1900.  The  percent  of  increase  for  the  entire 
market,  in  price  per  pair,  is  about  12%. 

In  quantity  the  total  receipts  of  shoes  manufactured  at  points  outside 
the  city  ^rere  practically  the  same  as  in  1900,  as  shown  by  the  records  of 
the  Merchants'  Exchange,  but  the  big  advance  in  local  manufacturing, 
together  with  the  increase  in  average  price,  increased  largely  the  value  of 
shipments.  The  total  manufactured  locally  is  estimated  at  over  $14,000,000, 
while  the  total  shoe  business  of  the  city  was  in  excess  of  $43,500,000. 

The  capital  invested  in  the  shoe  trade  is  about  $10,000,000,  an  increase 
of  $3,000,000  over  1900. 

EXTENDED  TBRRITOBT. 

The  year  1901  witnessed  an  extension  of  St.  Louis  territory  in  all  direc- 
tions. The  South,  Ohio  and  Pennsylvania,  the  Pacific  Coast,  the  far 
Northwest,  have  all  become  of  greater  importance  to  the  market,  and  fpr- 
eign  shipments  have  also  largely  increased.  A  number  of  firms  have  good 
businesB  in  Mexico,  and  are  preparing  for  a  more  complete  campaign  in 
that  direction,  as  well  as  in  the  West  Indies  and  Europe.  A  good  founda- 
tion has  been  laid  in  these  localities  and  the  trade  there  will  be  pushed. 

FBOSFBCTS  FOB  1902. 

The  prospects  for  1902  are  indeed  flattering.  That  the  city  held  its  own 
and  made  large  gains  in  spite  of  the  drought  last  summer,  is  a  matter  for 
congratulation,  and  with  a  good  crop  prospect  for  the  Middle  West  and 
South  for  1902,  there  is  certainly  every  reason  to  expect  great  things. 

More  capital  stands  ready  to  go  into  the  business,  audit  is  current 
report  that  at  least  t^o  large  new  firms  are  to  start  this  spring,  although 
negotiations  have  not  reached  a  point  that  would  justify  definite  statements. 

The  facilities  for  trade  are  to  be  bettered,  in  the  matter  of  freight 
arrangements  and  shipping  points,  for  transportation  by  rail,  and  much  is 
pTomiBed  through  government  improvement  of  that  greatest  of  waterways, 
the  Mississippi.  Ocean  shipments  via  Kew  Orleans  are  contemplated  with 
the  development  of  foreign  trade.

Shipments  from  Boston  to  St.  Louis  do  not  have  the  relative  importance 
they  onoe  had,  with  reference  to  the  total  receipts,  for  there  are  not  only 
more  shoes  manufactured  in  St.  Louis  than  formerly^  but  there  are  more 
shoes  shipped  in  from  points  other  than  Boston.  The  great  Lestershire 
works  send  a  large  quantity  to  the  wholesale  market,  and  Jefferson  City, 
Jeffersonyille,  Hannibal,  Alton,  Chicago,  Cincinnati,  and  other  shoe  manu- 
facturing points  have  contributed  an  increasing  quantity  to  the  total  receipts 
of  the  St.  Louis  market.  However,  the  shipments  from  Boston,  as  for 
many  years  past,  have  a  long  lead  over  the  shipments  from  that  city  to  any 
other  shoe  market,  as  is  indicated  by  the  following  table :

ST.  LOUIS  IMPLEMENT  AND  VBHICLE  TRADE  IN  1901. 

From  Farm  Machinery. 


During  the  year  which  closes  to-day,  the'St.  Louis  houses,  operating  in 
agricultural  implements  and  vehicles  and  articles  associated  with  those 
industries,  have,  as  a  rule,  enjoyed  a  prosperous  and  satisfactory  business. 
Very  few  and  very  mild  are  the  expressions  of  disappointment  to  be  heard 
here  and  there.  It  is  evident  that  in  the  aggregate,  a  pleasing  and  increased 
volume  of  trade  has  come  to  this  city. 

It  was  apparent  early  in  the  year  that  the  farmers  in  the  territory  sup- 
plied by  St.  Louis  would  put  in  heavy  crops,  and  when  their  operations 
actually  commenced,  the  demand  for  all  kinds  of  implements  used  in  a 
preparatory  way,  exceeded  all  precedents,  making  the  spring  trade  proba- 
bly the  most  active  ever  experienced  at  this  point  of  distribution. 

Crops  were  making  excellent  progress,  and  there  was  every  indication 
of  an  unprecedented  yield  of  everything  cultivated,  until  toward  the  end  of 
June  when  a  widespread  and  persistent  drouth  set  in  which  involved,  in  a 
more  or  less  damaging  manner,  the  entire  region  tributary  to  St.  Louis. 
Its  blight  fell  chiefly  upon  the  com  crop,  which,  in  many  localities,  was 
totally  ruined,  while  in  most  others  it  suffered  severely. 

The  drouth  had  the  effect  of  lessening  the  demand  for  those  tools  and 
machines  specially  used  in  the  cultivation  of  com,  but  on  the  other  hand, 
owing  to  the  shortage  of  hay,  feed  grinders  and  similar  goods,  as  well  as 


THX  GXTT  OV  8T.  LOITIB.  53 

oom  harvestera  for  cutting  and  binding,  were  in  remarkable  demand  for 
oonyerting  the  com  plant  and  the  stmited  com  into  food  for  stock.  At  one 
time,  BO  great  was  the  call  for  these  machines  that  all  buyers  could  not  be 
accommodated.  Owing  to  the  dry  and  hot  weather,  and  the  consequent 
damage  in  the  fields,  the  total  inquiry  for  binder  twine  diminished  materi- 
ally. 

Wagons  and  buggies  were  particularly  active  in  the  spring  months,  and 
Tirtually  every  dealer  accumulated  more  orders  than  could  be  promptiy 
Bhippedy  and  after  the  drouth  scare  died  out  the  demand  revived  again, 
very  perceptibly.  A  notable  feature  of  the  vehicle  business  in  1901  was 
the  tendency  on  the  part  of  buyers  to  select  goods  of  the  highest  class,  a 
fact  which  is  Tiewed  with  much  satisfaction  by  manufacturers  and  dealers, 
as  it  evinces  a  change  of  taste  for  the  better  on  the  part  of  consumers  as 
well  as  an  indication  of  their  improved  financial  circumstances. 

There  was  also  a  marked  preference  shown  for  the  best  quality  of  agri- 
cultural tools  and  machinery  —  a  condition  which  has  been  rapidly  devel- 
oping for  the  past  two  or  three  years. 

As  to  prices  on  implements,  vehicles  and  accessory  merchandise,  the 
tendency  was  strongly  upward,  due  to  the  increased  cost  of  nearly  every- 
thing entering  into  their  composition,  and  advances  were  made  and  easily 
maintained  on  many  articles.  Viewed  in  entirety,  therefore,  the  business 
year  1901  passes  into  history  with  a  highly  creditable  record. 


PAINTS,  OILS  AND  DRUOS. 

By  BOBBBT  W.  Samflb.  Secretary  St.  Louis  Paint,  Oil  and  Drug  Club. 


In  reviewing  the  year  1901  in  connection  with  the  lines  in  which  our 
association  is  interested,  I  find  that  the  conditions  have  been  almost  invari- 
ably of  the  most  flattering  nature,  and  the  rei>orts  received  indicate  a  very 
healthy  condition  of  trade. 

In  tiie  drug  line,  the  wholesale  business  has  as  a  general  rule  been  quite 
active,  and  we  can  consistentiy  claim  a  slight  advance  in  the  general  output, 
as  compared  with  the  sales  of  1900.  Prices  generally  have  been  uniform 
and  firm  throughout  the  whole  year.  At  the  beginning,  an  unusual  activity 
occurred,  which  served  to  strengthen  the  prices  on  a  number  of  articles, 
but  they  later  receded,  and  on  those  particular  items,  there  has  oonse- 
quentiy  existed  a  tendency  toward  lower  figures.  Our  local  jobbers  have 
all  extended  their  operations  and  have  been  quite  active  throughout  the 


In  linseed  oil  the  year  brought  forth  an  unusual  output.  Manufac- 
toren  and  dealers  also  found  a  large  demand  for  that  product,  which  has 
at  times,  greatiy  taxed  the  capacity  of  the  local  as  well  as  the  foreign 
emshers.  Present  conditions,  considering  also  the  rapid  growth  in  the 
territory  covered  from  St.  Louis,  bid  fair  to  command  a  still  greater 
increase  hi  1902. 


54  TSADS  AHD  OOMMSBOB  OV 

The  paint  business,  as  far  as  local  manufacturers  are  concerned,  has 
been  unprecedented,  during  the  entire  year.  The  late  winter  and  early 
spring  months  witnessed  a  growth  and  increase  not  anticipated,  and  the 
succeeding  months  were  productive  of  large  and  numerous  current  orders. 
These  conditions  obtained  up  to  the  extremely  hot  weather,  but  the  drouth 
which  then  prevailed  had  a  depressing  effect,*  and  the  early  fall  business 
did  not  show  the  same  proportion  of  gain  as  the  early  months  of  the  year. 
There  was  an  improvement  later,  however,  and  the  remainder  of  the 
season,  from  the  point  of  sales,  was  very  satisfactory. 


THE  LUMBER  TRADE  OP  ST.  LOUIS  DURING  1901. 

By  Gao.  E.  Watson,  Secretary  Hardwood  and  Lumber  Manufacturer's  Ezobange. 


Nineteen  hundred  and  one  is  ended,  and  St.  Louis  has  made  anothier 
record  for  herself  in  that  there  has  been  such  a  volume  to  the  lumber 
business  as  has  never  before  been  equalled.  The  actual  receipts  of  the 
city  almost  amounted  to  a  billion  and  a  half  feet,  which  are  figures  difficult 
for  the  ordinary  mind  to  grasp.  One  railroad,  the  St.  Louis,  Iron  Mountain 
&  Southern,  brought  into  the  city  68,414  cars  of  lumber,  which  easily 
places  it  at  the  top  of  the  list  of  lumber  carrying  roads.  Altogether  it  has 
been  a  year  to  be  proud  of,  but  the  growth  of  the  market  has  been  so 
rapid  during  recent  years,  that  it  can  be  claimed  vrlth  perfect  assurance, 
that  St.  Louis  has  not  yet  reached  the  height  of  her  glory  as  a  lumber 
market.  The  following  figures  show  only  eight  years  of  this  growth,  being 
the  rail  receipts :

1900 102,576

1897 82,804 

1896 56,478 

1895 58,621 

1894 45,764 

As  it  is  more  pronounced  than  ever  that  the  trend  of  the  lumber  pro- 
ducer is  toward  the  South,  every  indication  points  to  a  more  rapid  growth 
for  this  market  than  duriiig  former  years.  The  geography  of  the  situation 
has  much  to  do  with  the  prospects  of  the  market,  as  the  production  of  the 
Central  South  can  find  a  ready  market  through  this  gateway  to  the  North , 
Bast  and  West,  and  all  sections  of  the  country  are  now  using  Southern 
lumber.  Realizing  this,  nineteen  new  offices  for  the  disposal  of  Southern 
lumber  were  opened  in  St.  Louis  during  the  year,  and  there  was  not  a 
single  failure,  which  speaks  well  for  the  prosperity  of  the  year.  It  has 
been  a  year,  also,  of  heavy  investment  in  the  Southern  country.     The

The  gain  in  shipments  of  1901  over  1900  was,  therefore,  88,759,000  feet, 
or^abont  12%. 

The  difference  between  the  receipts  and  shipments  gives  590,497,766 
feet  as  the  local  consumption  of  lumber  during  the  year,  being  a  loss  of 
10,463,888  feet  as  compared  with  the  preceding  year.  These  figures  give  a 
false  impression,  as  the  consumption  was  undoubtedly  heavier  than  during 
1900,  and  the  difference  was  probably  caused  by  the  fact  that  the  year 
started  in  with  very  large  stocks  in  the  hands  of  all  yards  and  factories  and 
ended  with  these  stocks  exhausted.  In  the  way  of  building,  also,  there 
was  a  great  gain — ^the  value  of  the  permits  exceeding  those  of  1900  by 
17,291,007.  The  coming  year  should  be  a  record  breaker  in  the  building 
line,  as  the  World's  Fair  work  will  begin  to  make  a  showing. 


QROCERIBS. 

By  BOBT.  B.  lAOf  Editor  Interstate  Grocer. 


The  year  1901  in  grocery  circles  was  peculiar.  It  started  in  with  nor- 
mal conditions,  the  expectation  being  that  there  would  be  about  as  much 
business  handled  as  during  the  previous  year.    About  the  first  of  the  May

aad  from  that  time  on  until  th«  latter  part  of  August  there  was  much 
uneasiness  in  the  trade.  The  drouth,  which  had  effected  the  growing 
crops,  promised  to  bring  disaster.  It  was  feared  that  collections  might  go 
awry  and  that  buying  would  be  at  a  low  ebb.  This  drouth  was,  however, 
the  salvation  of  the  grocery  trade.  It  served  to  practically  destroy  all  the 
small  crops  snch  as  garden  truck  and  those  fruits  which  are  largely  used 
for  preserving  by  the  country  house  wives. 

The  result  of  this  was  that  the  farmer  not  only  had  nothing  in  the 
vegetable  and  fruit  line  to  offer  in  his  adjacent  town,  but  he  also  found 
himjself  short  of  some  provisions  for  his  own  use.  The  result  also  of  this 
was  that  he  was  obliged  to  purchase  heavily  from  his  grocer.  From  the 
middle  of  August  on  to  the  first  of  January,  1902,  it  was  not  a  case  of 
''where  can  we  sell  groceries,*'  but  '^where  can  we  get  groceries  to  sell." 

In  spite  of  this,  however,  grocery  prices  have  not  been  high.  With  the 
exception  of  canned  tomatoes  and  canned  apples  all  other  canned  goods 
have  been  at  about  their  normal  figure. 

For  St.  Louis  hereself  it  may  be  said  that  as  a  groceiy  market  she  has 
grown  with  a  bound  during  the  year  just  closed.  A  process  of  consolida- 
tion has  been  going  on  and  three  large  houses  were  during  the  year, 
merged  into  others.  This  meant  the  handling  of  almost  double  the 
amount  of  business  with  half  the  force  in  all  three  of  these  cases.  One 
new  wholesale  groceiy  house  has  just  began  business  in  St.  Louis,  and  on 
the  whole  the  volume  of  sales  is  larger  and  the  territory  covered  is  greater 
than  it  has  been  in  any  previous  year. 

The  statistics  of  receipts  and  shipments  upon  which  this  review  is  based 
are  taken  from  the  records  of  the  St.  I^uis  Merchants'  Bxchange.

It  will  be  noticed  that  there  was  a  decrease  in  the  number  of  hogshead 
and  the  number  of  barrels  received  and  a  g^reat  increase  in  the  number  of 
bags  coming  into  the  market.  This  is  due  to  the  fact  that  shipments  of 
sugar  in  bags  is  growing  more  and  more  usual  each  year.  The  total  num- 
ber of  pounds  of  sugar  shipped  into  the  market  during  the  year  was 
greater  to  a  considerable  extent  than  during  the  year  1900.  The  increased 
consumption  in  sugar  in  St.  Louis  city  and  the  immediate  territory  and  the 
fact  that  packages  are  changed  in  size  accounts  for  the  apparent  decrease 
in  shipments  in  sugar.

St.  Louis  has  taken  a  long  step  forward  toward  becoming  the  principle 
ooifee  distributing  market  of  the  United  States  daring  the  year  1901. 
Coffee  no  longer  comes  to  St.  Louis  from  or  through  New  York.  Arrange- 
ments which  have  been  made  by  a  number  of  large  importing  houses  in 
this  city  permit  of  the  shipment  of  coffees  direct  from  the  plantations  in 
Rio  and  Santos  to  St.  Louis  via  New  Orleans  and  the  Mississippi  River.  In 
this  way  the  St.  Louis  importers  save  considerably  on  their  freight  charges 
and  they  get  specific  coffees  from  planters  whom  they  know,  rather  than 
the  graded  goods  through  the  New  York  market.  St.  Louis  is,  therefore, 
now  shipping  large  quantities  of  green  coffee  to  the  West  in  a  jobbing  way 
and  to  Sonne  extent  to  points  East  of  here.  The  receipt  in  St.  Louis  of 
whole  train  loads  of  green  coffee  direct  from  ship  at  New  Orleans  has 
become  a  regular  feature  of  the  business. 

The  increased  receipts  are  shown  by  figures  here  given.  It  is  impossi- 
ble to  make  an  estimate  of  the  percentage  of  increase  in  shipments  for  the 
reason  that  St.  Louis  is  a  great  coffee  roasting  market  and  the  packages 
which  go  out  are  irregular  in  size.

It  is  impossible  to  draw  deductions  from  the  Exchange  figures  on 
receipts  and  shipments  of  molasses  and  syrups  for  the  reason  that  St.  Louis 
is  one  of  the  large  centers  in  which  these  goods  are  prepared  for  the  table^ 
and  the  blending  of  glucose  and  alterations  in  the  sizes  of  packages  are 
misleading.  A  great  change^  however,  has  been  noted  in  this  business  dur- 
mg  the  year,  in  that  smaller  packages  have  been  given  the  preference  over 
goods  packed  in  wood.  This  refers  to  the  extensive  trkde  which  has 
grown  up  for  syrups  in  tin  cans.  This  style  of  package  is  claimed  by  the 
large  St.  Louis  syrup  refiners  to  have^  through  its  convenience  and  cleanli- 
ness, increased  the  aggregate  consumption  of  syrups  about  20%.

This  great  staple  was  handled  more  extensively  in  St.  Louis  during  the 
past  year  than  for  a  long  time  previous,  as  will  be  seen  by  the  increase  in 
receipts  and  shipments.  The  receipts  were  greater  for  the  year  by  more 
than  60%  than  during  1900,  and  the  shipments  show  an  increase  in  packages, 
which  includes  both  sacks  and  barrels,  of  about  40>000  packages.

TEA. 

There  baa  been  a  considerable  falling  off^  about  S^OOO  packages,  in  the 
receipts  of  tea  during  the  year.  This  is  due  to  the  well  recognized  fact 
that  the  consumption  of  this  article  has  dropped  off.  The  duty  on  tea  of 
10  cents  a  pound  has  had  much  to  do  with  this. 

GENERAL   LINES. 

An  estimate  made  from  a  general  observation  of  the  market  and  the 
conditions  which  have  existed,  would  show  that  the  average  increase 
of  business  on  general  lines  of  groceries  for  the  year^  has  been  about  16^. 
Much  of  this  gain,  as  has  been  heretofore  stated,  was  made  during  the  last 
half  of  the  year.  A  close  estimate  is  however  impossible  as  no  figures  on 
the  subject  are  available.

TMADM  AXB  OOlOamOB  OF 

FURNITURE. 

By  Obo.  T.  Parkbb,  Secretary  St.  Louis  Famlture  Board  of  Trade. 


The  ezpectatioDB  at  the  dose  of  last  year  of  a  busy  1901  were  fully 
realized.  It  is  seldom  that  factories  do  not  shut  down  for  a  few  weeks  at 
the  beginning  of  the  year  lor  repairs  and  improvements  in  the  plant;  but 
this  year  has  favored  the  manufacturing  institutions  as  an  exception^  in  as 
much  as  needed  repairs,  changes  and  improvements  were  made  while  the 
works  continued  in  operation. 

A  decrease  in  volume  of  output  was  observed  during  the  drouth  and  by 
several  destructive  fires  which  diminished  the  year's  production,  which 
about  equaled  that  of  1900. 

The  estimate  of  the  furniture  and  kindred  lines  is  about  $83,000,000;  in 
this  is  Included  coffins,  bedding,  rattanware,  picture  mouldings,  etc., 
which  manufactures  go  to  complete  the  stock  carried  by  the  country  store. 

Nearly  all  the  factories  have  undergone  improvement,  either  by  the 
addition  of  space  or  new  and  modem  machinery.  An  entire  new  factory 
has  been  built;  but  none  of  its  product  was  delivered  during  1901.  Great 
improvements  in  buildings  and  products  have  taken  place  in  the  metal  bed 
factories.  St.  Louis  is  a  recognized  center  for  this  class  of  manufacture, 
as  it  is  for  that  of  many  of  the  medium  grades  of  wood  furniture. 

More  capital  is  now  employed  than  ever  before  in  our  factories,  the 
estimate  being  above  $3,000,000  in  the  fifty  factories  which  have  employed 
upward  of  6,500  employes,  who  have  received  approximately  $3,760,000  for 
their  services. 

Prices  have  advanced,  this  having  become  necessary  by  reason  of  the 
increased  cost  of  raw  materials,  principally  good  cabinet  lumber,  the 
general  demand  for  which  brought  about  an  advance  early  in  the  year. 

Better  and  more  artistic  styles  are  now  required  to  suit  the  demands  of 
the  trade,  as  well  as  a  superior  class  of  workmanship ;  these  features  all 
tend  to  a  higher  cost. 

There  have  been  completed  many  expensive  residences  in  the  city  which 
have  required  furnishing,  as  well  as  the  replenishing  in  a  modem  way, 
many  of  the  old  ones.  New  hotels,  trust  companies,  banks,  office  buildings, 
educational  and  public  institutions  have  added  a  large  quota  to  the  general 
business. 

In  the  general  prosperity  of  the  West  and  South,  the  building  of 
churches,  schools,  opera  houses  and  buildings  of  a  public  character,  has 
become  the  rule  in  nearly  all  communities.  St.  Louis  has  lost  an  enormous 
trade  in  this  line  by  having  no  factories  equipped  for  this  class  of  work, 
which  has  gone  entirely  to  cities  east  of  us,  whose  purchases  for  lumber 
have  largely  to  be  made  in  this  market. 

Principal  among  the  woods  used  are  oak,  poplar,  gum  and  ash,  while 
for  the  higher  grades  of  cabinet  work  mahogany,  birch  and  maple  are 
used.  Walnut  is  having  a  greater  demand,  more  especially  for  the  export 
trade,  which  has  found  new  markets  and  has  materially  increased;  this  city 


XBS  omr  OF  ar.  i/oun.  es 

hamg  become  more  favormbly  known  In  ooantries  where  it  was  formerly 
thoogfat  St.  Lonis  could  not  reach.  Upholstery  and  rattan  goods  are  among 
the  lines  which  have  grown  in  popularity. 

St.  Louis  steam  and  street  car  furniture  may  now  be  found  in  all  parts 
of  the  world. 

No  strikes  among  employes  have  interferred  with  work  in  the  factories^ 
but  s  strike  affecting  the  deliyery  and  receipt  of  goods  by  the  Transfer 
Company^  urged  the  necessity  for  action  to  prevent  its  re-occurence.  In 
eoDEequence  the  railroad  shipping  ftu;ilities  are  receiving  added  attention^ 
and  will  undoubtedly  be  improved.  The  new  belt  lines  now  building, 
encircling  the  cHy^  will  g^reatly  assist  in  the  prompt  movement  of  ship- 
ments. 

A  number  of  the  most  enterprising  of  the  factories  have  placed  samples 
ol  their  product  in  the  exposition  sample  rooms  of  Eastern  cities.  This 
has  resulted  in  a  revival  of  the  permanent  or  semi-annual  exposition 
effort,  which  would  seem  important  as  a  measure  to  attract  buyers  to  this 
important  market. 


FOReiON  COMMERCE  OP  ST.  LOUIS.

The  prosperous  conditions  that  have  prevailed  generally  throughout 
the  United  States  during  1901  has  been  shared  by  St.  Louis  in  no  inconsid- 
erable manner,  Indeed  the  domestic  trade  has  been  so  good  that  nuuiy  lines 
have  not  felt  the  inclination  or  necessity  of  going  beyond  our  own  borders 
to  dispose  of  their  products,  although  there  are  inviting  fields  in  numy 
eountries  for  the  sale  of  much  of  our  manufactured  goods. 

The  agricultural  products  which  have  reached  this  market  have  found  a 
ready  and  active  sale  abroad. 

QBAIK. 

The  shipments  of  wheat  by  river  and  rail  to  the  seaboard  has  been 
8,122,973  bushels,  as  against  1,039,922  bushels  in  1900,  or  increase  in  export 
of  7,083,051  bushels. 

Com  to  the  seaboard,  including  to  Cuba  661,994  bushels,  Mexico  77,246 
bfushels,  Belgium  1,076  bushels,  amounted  to  2,162,798  bushels,  as  against 
8,642,891  bushels  in  1900,  or  a  decrease  of  6,380,093  bushels. 

This  decrease  in  com  exi>orts  may  be  attributed  largely  to  the  compara- 
tire^jr  high  price  prevailing  almost  the  entire  year.  Importers  on  the  other 
nde  preferring  to  buy  our  wheat  at  the  relative  cheaper  price  to  that  of 
eom. 

The  shipments  of  oats  were  216,268  bushels,  as  against  617,666  bushels 
hi  1900,  or  a  foiling  off  of  302,388  bushels,  largely  caused  by  like  reasons 
V  those  concemin^  com.

In  this  connection  It  may  be  well  to  state  that  the  importance  of  our 
river;  as  a  means  for  cheap  transportation,  is  not  yet  fully  enough  Impressed 
on  our  legislators  at  Washington^  and  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  efforts  in  that 
direction  will  be  more  successful  in  the  f uture^  and  thus  conduce  to  making 
St.  Louis  a  greater  market  for  staple  products. 

COTTON. 

The  popular  estimate  for  the  cotton  crop  of  1900  and  1901  proved,  after 
September  Ist^  1901^  to  be  947,006  bales  in  excess  of  1899  and  1900. 

Total  gross  receipts  of  cotton  through  St.  Louis,  year  ending  September 
1st,  1801;  978,400  bales,  previous  year  802,769  bales.     Local  net  receipts 
handled  by  St.  Louis  239,628  bales,  previous  year  164,074  bales. 
Foreign  shipments  were  as  follows :

The  receipts  represent  an  approximate  value  of  $16,660,000.  As  the 
Cotton  that  is  handled  in  St.  Louis  represents  largely  remittance  for  goods 
purchased  in  this  market  by  the  Southern  merchants,  it  is  an  important 
element  in  the  wealth-producing  features  of  the  city.

There  waa  exported  in  bond  to  yarioua  countries  to  the  yalue  of 
1737,112.00,  a  total  of  1,032,245  gallons.  Our  beer  goes  to  all  points  in  Latin 
America,  Philippines,  Japan,  China,  Australia  and  occasionally  to  France 
and  England.  St.  Louis  beer  is  looked  upon  throughout  the  world  as  the 
par  excellence  of  toothsome  drinks. 

AGBICXTLTUBAL  IMFUEIOBNTS  AND  MACHINSBT. 

Tile  exports  in  this  line  have  been  considerably  increased,  although 
with  Mexico,  on  account  of  the  severe  drouth  conditions  in  the  northern 
part  of  that  ootmtry,  the  trade  has  not  been  so  good. 

More  has  been  done  this  past  year,  however,  with  Cuba,  Puerto  Rico, 
Hawaii,  British  Columbia,  etc. 

The  adverse  conditions  prevailing  in  Mexico,  with  the  stringency  in 
monetary  afEairs,  as  well  as  the  heavy  decline  in  silver,  has  militated  very 
much  against  all  operations  there.  Some  extension  has  been  made  in 
Central  America,  a  new  field  for  St  Louis  work  in  this  line. 

IBOM,  8TBBL,   HARDWARE,  BTO. 

These  lines  show  considerable  expansion;  although  the  large  compa- 
mes— Carnegie  and  others — ^have  established  branches  in  Mexico  and  other 
foreign  countries,  and  necessarily  compete  there  successfully  with  our 
St  Louis  concerns  in  that  lines.  In  hardware  St  Louis  enterprise  con- 
tfaines  to  place  goods  throughut  Mexico,  West  Indies  and  South  America. 
This  Une  is  also  placed  in  many  parts  of  Asia.  There  has  been  considera- 
ble extension  tills  past  year. 

Our  stove  manufacturers  are  now  doing  some  business  in  Mexico  and 
Central  America.    This  American  article  is  growing  in  favor. 

BOOTS  AND  8HOB8. 

St  Louis  continues  to  find  ready  sale  in  foreign  countries  and  all  the 
houses  who  have  cultivated  foreign  trade  have  done  well. 

Trade  with  Mexico  has  been  larger,  also  West  Indies  and  Central  and 
South  America,  British  Columbia  and  Germany. 

There  is  a  large  field  in  South  America  for  this  line,  but  the  time  occu- 
pied in  delivering  goods  has  so  far  been  an  obstacle  to  placing  many 
orders.  With  better  shipping  facilities  to  the  principal  ports  of  South 
America,  however,  there  will  be  a  great  trade  awaiting  the  St  Louis  man- 
ufacturers of  shoes,  much  larger  than  any  yet  opened  to  them.  The  in- 
crease in  exports  for  1901  has  approximately  been  80% . 

BLBCTBICAL  SUPPLIES. 

niere  has  been  considerable  awakening  of  interest  in  electrical  matters 
bx  our  neighbors  of  the  South  America,  and  St.  Louis  has  shared  in  fur- 


66  TBADB  AHD  OOMMXBOB  OF 

niflhing  supplies  required,  although  the  past  few  months  it  has  been  some- 
what restricted  for  reasons  already  given. 

Considerable  supplies  have  been  furnished  to  Canada,  but  the  shipments 
to  Japan  and  South  America  have  fallen  off  in  1901.  The  exports  to 
Canada^  however,  have  increased  over  100%. 

It  may  be  stated  that  the  foreign  trade  in  this  line  has  not  been  quite  as 
large  as  it  was  in  1900  with  Europe  and  Asia. 

FUBNITUBE. 

There  has  been,  as  usual,  considerable  furniture  exported  to  Mexico, 
also  to  the  West  Lidies.  Some  new  markets  have  also  been  reached — 
South  Africa,  Manila  and  Corea — ^but  the  aggregate  does  not  exceed  the 
year  of  1900.  The  poor  conditions  prevailing  in  Mexico  and  West  Indies 
already  alluded  to  is  the  main  reason  for  this. 

MACHIKSBT  AND  PLUMBINO  GOODS. 

The  exports  in  this  line  has  been  about  the  same  in  volume  as  the  pre- 
vious year.  The  sales  have  been  to  Mexico,  Cuba,  Porto  Bico,  Hawaiian 
Islands  and  British  Columbia. 

There  are  strong  houses  in  the  line  of  manufacture  and  with  the  great 
needs  of  Latin  America  for  improved  hygienic  conditions,  there  ought  to 
be  a  large  extension  of  this  line  of  trade  in  these  countries. 

The  sales  of  vitrified  pipe  have  been  about  the  same  as  last  year,  but 
distributed  at  more  points  foreign, 

Notions,  glassware,  woodenware,  paper,  etc.  There  is  a  steady  trade 
done  in  these  lines  with  Mexico,  and  it  only  requires  close  attention  to 
develope  into  larger  proportions.  There  are  active  salesmen  in  the  field, 
and  a  propaganda  by  mail  is  bringing  good  returns. 

BAILBOAD  AND  STBBBT  CABS. 

The  sales  in  both  those  branches  shows  an  increase.  In  railroad  cars 
the  gain  has  been  about  26%,  and  the  shipments  have  been  to  England, 
France,  Spain,  New  Zealand,  Australia,  New  South  Wales,  South  America 
and  Mexico.  This  is  an  important  industry  for  St.  Louis.  In  street  cars 
the  growth  lias  been  greater,  being  given  by  our  largest  factories  as  60%. 
Orders  were  filled  by  one  factory  alone  for  over  $300,000  to  Mexico,  Brazil, 
Portugal  and  Argentine.  The  material  for  construction  of  both  railroads 
and  street  cars  being  so  much  cheaper  here,  gives  this  market  an  advantage 
for  this  industry. 

SUNDBIES. 

There  are  a  number  of  other  industries  in  this  city  and  vicinity  which 
are  making  headway.  The  sale  of  butchers'  supplies  have  increased  40%, 
and  these  are  exported  principally  to  Germany,  France,  Argentine  Bepublic, 
Australia,  South  Africa,  England,  Austria,  Bussia,  Sweden,  Spain,  Italy 

and  Mexico. 

Cooperage  is  an  important  article  of  export  and  increases  yearly. 
Large  shipments  are  made  to  Europe  and  Latin  America.       .

The  bahmce  in  the  treasuy  at  the  end  of  the  fiscal  year^  April  8, 1901^ 
wasy  as  is  shown  above,  $4,442,631.78.  Adding  the  amounts  of  nncoUeeted 
special  tax  bills  in  the  matter  of  opening,  sprinlding  and  changing  grades 
of  streets  and  maintaining  boulevards  ($454,902.72),  gives  the  total 
lesDiirces  of  the  treasury  $4,897,434.45.  Against  this  amount  are  charge- 
able the  balance  as  standing  to  the  credit  of  special  funds  and  accounts, 
amounting  in  the  aggregate  to  $2,868,585.00.  Deducting  this  amount  from 
the  resources  of  the  treasury  there  remains  an  imappropriated  surplus  of 

,074,593.08  belonging  to  the  respective  revenue  funds  as  follows : 


Interest  and  Public  Debt  Revenue  $1,008,228.

BONDED  DEBT. 

The  gross  debt  at  the  beginning  of  the  fiscal  year  1900-1901,  including 
the  $189,316.59  advanced  out  of  the  treasury  in  anticipation  of  the  revenue 
of  ttie  sinking  fund  of  the  year  1900-1901  was  $19,105,593.89.  The  amount 
advanced  out  of  the  treasury  was  written  off,  leaving  the  bonded  debt,  out- 
standing April  8, 1901,  $18,916,278.30. 

The  annual  interest  charge  on  the  bonded  debt  amounts  to  $778,409.28 
or  an  average  of  $4,115  per  cent  interest  per  annum. 


70  TBADB  AND  OOMMBBOB  OF 

SINKING  FUND. 

The  resources  of  the  sinking  fund  for  the  fiscal  year  amounted  to 
9421,690.72.  After  converting  back  into  the  treasniy  the  9189^15.59 
advanced  during  the  year  1899-1900  there  remained  a  balance  of  $282,275.13 
to  the  credit  of  the  fund  at  the  end  of  the  fiscal  year. 

TAXATION. 

The  assessed  valuation  for  the  taxes  of  1901  is  $868,611,850  exclusive  of 
railroad,  bridge,  telegraph,  express  and  street  railroad  property,  which  is 
assessed  by  the  State  Board  of  Equalization,  and  this  is  estimated  on  the 
basis  of  last  year,  namely,  $26,211,360. 

The  rate  of  taxation  as  established  for  the  current  year  differs  from  the 
rates  for  the  taxes  of  last  year  in  the  following  respects,  namely :  Pursuant 
to  the  result  of  the  election  the  rate  for  Public  Library  tax  was  increased 
one-fifth  of  a  mill,  or  two  cents  on  the  $100  valuation,  and  therefore,  the 
rate  for  general  municipal  purposes  was  reduced  to  the  same  extent. 
Heretofore  the  property  in  a  portion  of  the  territory  annexed  to  the  city 
under  the  Scheme  and  Charter  was  assessed  at  a  lower  rate  than  the  prop- 
erty in  the  old  limits  of  the  city.  This  year  the  rate  is  uniform  over  both 
old  and  new  limits. 

The  rate  of  taxation  for  the  pajrment  of  the  debt  and  the  interest  thereon 
was  reduced  five  cents^  that  is,  from  thirty  cents  to  twenty-five  cents  on  the 
$100  valuation.  The  amount  of  taxes  that  will  be  realized  from  this  rate, 
together  with  the  unappropriated  surplus  now  to  the  credit  of  this  fund 
will  be  sufficient  to  meet  the  requirements  of  the  law. 

The  rates  for  1901,  on  the  $100  valuation  are  as  follows : 

New  Ldinits 
Old         subject  to  in- 
Liimlts.      creased  rates. 

For  payment  of  debt  and  interest $  .25  $  .26

MINING  INDUSTRIES  OP  MISSOURI. 


By  J.  W.  Mabstbllbb,  Secretary  and  AMtstant  Inspector,  Bureau  of  Mines. 

Mining  and  Mining  Inspection. 


We  are  sony  that  saffloient  retoms  have  not  as  yet  been  received  to  give 
you  the  actoal  figures  relating  to  our  mineral  production,  yalues,  etc.  The 
information  already  received,  however,  warrants  the  statement,  that  the 
mining  industry  of  the  State  for  the  year  ending  December  81, 1901,  shows 
a  more  prosperous  condition  of  affairs  than  has  heretofore  been  experi- 
enced. The  production  of  zinc,  coal  and  lead  each  show  a  decided  in- 
crease over  any  previous  year,  due  largely  to  the  exploitation  of  new  and 
extended  mineral  fields,  the  erection  of  extensive  plants  and  the  advances 
made  in  the  treatment  and  handling  of  the  ores. 

Lead  ore  shows  a  large  increase  in  production  and  also  in  value.  Prices 
were  well  maintained  throughout  the  year  with  the  exception  of  the  month 
of  December,  when  a  rapid  decline  tn  price  occurred.  The  cause  of  this 
rapid  decline  is  traced  to  the  same  selfish  purpose  that  caused  disaster  to 
two  large  corporations,  one  of  which  manipulated  the  lead  market  and  the 
other  the  copper  market. 

Vast  improvements  are  now  being  made  in  the  mining  and  cleaning  of 
lead  ore,  and  no  where  in  the  world  can  plants  be  found  that  will  compare 
with  the  National  and  Federal  located  in  St.  Francois  County,  one  of  which 
was  completed  last  year  and  the  other  now  almost  completed.  The  min- 
ing field  of  Southeast  Missouri  is  expanding  rapidly,  with  Madison  and 
Washington  Counties  added  to  the  disseminated  lead  district.  Prospect- 
ing with  the  diamond  drill  never  ceases  in  this  region  and  each  successive 
year  will  add  new  mines  and  increased  product.  Missouri  Is  classed  as  the 
soft  lead  region,  and  shows  an  increased  production,  while  the  desilverized 
region  shows  a  decrease. 

The  production  of  zinc  ore  for  the  year  will  show  an  increase  over  any 
former  year.  The  year  opened  with  a  depressed  market  price  and  so  con- 
tinued until  the  last  few  months  of  the  year;  In  the  meantime  the  produc- 
tion was  not  restricted,  our  operators  evidently  anticipating  the  time  when 
the  export  point  would  be  reached.  The  export  point  was  reached,  and 
before  the  end  of  the  year  an  advance  of  $6.00  per  ton  was  realized,  and  a 
general  feeling  of  confidence  in  the  maintenance  of  prices  prevails 
throughout  the  mining  district.  The  ficticious  prices  which  obtained  in 
1899  were  taken  advantage  of  by  designing  men,  and  many  worthless  and 
worked-out  properties  were  disposed  of  at  outrageous  prices— overstocked 
companies  played  a  conspicuous  part  with  the  usual  result.    The  effect  o 


THB  cm  or  ST.  LOUIS.  73 

all  this  is  about  past,  and  the  improyements  now  being  made  are  justified. 
Legitimate  progress  backed  by  scientific  methods  are  goveming  very 
largely  in  all  the  new  plants  erected,  and  this  fact  will  add  greatly  to  the 
SQCoess  and  prosperity  of  the  industry.  The  zinc  fields  like  the  lead  fields 
SK  also  expanding,  and  Central  Missouri  is  rapidly  developing  into  a  fine 
lead  and  zinc  region. 

COAL. 

The  last  year  has  been  a  record-breaker  in  the  coal  mining  industry  of 
the  State.  Not  only  has  the  production  of  coal  greatly  exceeded  that  of 
aO  other  years,  but  the  yalue  of  the  output  is  much  greater  as  well. 

It  has  been  a  year  of  progress,  development,  better  prices  for  the  out- 
put, better  prices  paid  for  mining  and  better  feeling  between  employer 
and  employee.  There  have  been  no  strikes  or  lockouts  lasting  over  a  few 
days,  and  the  mines  never  were  in  a  safer  or  better  sanitary  condition. 
The  mining  field  is  widening  and  expanding,  and  some  of  the  best  equipped 
Bdnes  in  our  State  have  been  opened  up  in  this  new  territory  during  the 
last  year. 

New  mines  with  plants  equipped  with  the  most  modem  appliances 
have  been  oi^ened  up  in  all  our  mining  counties,  and  many  of  the  older 
mines  have  not  only  enlarged  their  capacity,  but  have  been  supplied  with 
tiie  fsdlides  which  will  enable  them  to  handle  the  product  more  economi- 
cally and  expeditiously. 

Taken  altogether,  the  mining  industry  of  the  State  has  never  before 
presented  a  more  satisfactory  condition,  nor  has  the  promise  for  the 
future  ever  been  brighter.  The  fact  is,  the  mining  industry  is  on  a  far 
more  substantial  basis  than  ever  before;  it  is  backed  by  a  progressive  in- 
telligent management,  an  abundance  of  means  and  immense  territory 
splendidly  tested.

THB  CITY  OF  ST.  LOUIS.  87 


RAIL  TRANSPORTATION. 


By  E.  8.  Tompkins,  Oommissioner,  St.  Louis  TrafBc  Bureau. 


The  importance  of  St.  Louis  as  the  great  central  market  of  the  Missis- 
sippi Valley  has  heen  materially  strengthened  during  the  past  year  hy  the 
development,  construction  and  operation  of  the  railroads  reaching  this  city. 
The  trade  territory  directly  trihutary  to  this  market  has  been  largely 
increased  by  the  buying  up  of  completed  roads^  and  the  building  of  new 
lines. 

When  the  Frisco  System  acquired  the  Kansas  City,  Fort  Scott  A  Mem- 
phis and  Kansas  City,  Memphis  A  Birmingham  Railroads,  they  secured 
control  of  a  line  aggregating  about  1,258  miles  in  the  States  of  Kansas, 
Missouri,  Arkansas,  Mississippi,  Alabama  and  the  Indian  Territory.  They 
haye  alBO  purchased  the  Fort  Worth  &  Bio  Grande,  extending  from  Fort 
Worth  to  Brownwood,  Texas,  141  miles,  and,  in  addition  to  the  absorption 
of  these  two  properties,  they  have  completed  their  line  from  Sapulpa,  I.  T., 
to  Fort  Worth,  Texas,  a  distance  of  290  miles. 

The  Missouri  Pacific  have  secured  control  of  the  Denver  &  Bio  Grande 
and  the  Bio  Grande  Western  Bailways,  having  2,140  miles  of  track  in  Col- 
orado«  Utah  and  New  Mexico.  They  have  also  acquired  the  New  Orleans 
&  Northwestern  Bailway,  with  101  miles  of  road  in  Louisiana,  as  well  as  a 
number  of  smaller  roads  in  other  States. 

The  Wabash  Bailway  have  purchased  the  Omaha  &  St.  Louis  Bailroad, 
Pattonsburg,  Mo.,  to  Omaha,  Neb.,  148  miles,  which  gives  them  their  own 
rails  into  Omaha,  as  well  as  the  short  line  between  St.  Louis  and  that 
point.  They  have  also  secured  control  of  the  Wheeling  &  Lake  Erie  Bail- 
road,  and  they  are  now  extending  this  line  to  Pittsburg,  Pa. 

The  St.  Louis,  Kansas  City  &  Colorado  Bailroad  have  completed  their 
road,  which  is  known  as  the  ^^St.  Louis  Line,^^  to  Bell,  Mo.,  105  miles  west 
of  St.  Louis,  and  they  are  now  working  on  the  road  west  of  that  point,  and 
they  expect  to  have  their  rails  into  Kansas  City  the  latter  part  of  1902. 

These  changes  have  been  the  most  important  during  the  year,  and  the 
new  territory  opened  to  this  market  will  prove  valuable  to  the  merchants 
of  St.  Louis,  who  are  making  every  effort  to  extend  their  trade. 

The  acquisition  of  the  Mobile  A  Ohio  Bailroad,  with  860  miles,  by  the 
Southern  Bailway,  gives  that  Company  entrance  into  St.  Louis  over  two 
Hues,  as  they  purchased  the  L.,  E.  &  St.  L.  Bailway  in  1900. 

The  Burlington,  with  over  8,000  miles  of  road,  has  passed  to  the  control 
of  the  Great  Northern  and  Northern  Pacific  Boads,  and  in  turn,  the  North - 
em  Securities  Company  has  been  organized  with  a  capital  of  $400,000,000 
to  take  over  all  three  proi>erties.  The  change  in  ownership  of  the  two 
roads  mentioned,  should  not  prove  injurious  to  this  market,  but  on  the 


8B  TBADB  AND  OOKMSBCE  01* 

other  band  should  improTe  their  traffic  arrangements  with  the  Companies 
with  which  they  have  been  merged^  and  in  that  way  enable  them  to 
increase  their  service  out  of  St.  Louis  to  a  larger  territory. 

The  passenger  service  of  the  St.  Louis  lines  is  constantly  being  im- 
proved by  the  addition  of  finer  equipment  and  the  establiBhment  of  faster 
trains  between  St.  Louis  and  other  cities. 

The  St.  Louis  Union  Station  is  the  largest  and  one  of  the  finest  passen- 
ger stations  in  the  world,  and  it  has  proven  an  important  factor  in  the 
increase  of  passenger  business  tlirough  this  gateway. 

The  construction  and  equipment  of  the  St.  Louis  &  O'Fallon  and  the 
St.  Louis,  Belleville  &  Suburban  Boads,  has  aroused  a  great  deal  of  inter- 
est, as  both  lines  will  be  operated  with  electric  motors,  and  their  tonnage 
will  consist  almost  entirely  of  soft  coal.  The  steam  lines  have  been  de- 
feated in  competition  with  electric  lines  for  suburban  passenger  service^ 
but  it  remains  for  these  two  lines  to  demonstrate  their  ability  to  success- 
fully compete  with  the  steam  roads  for  freight  business. 

A  road  known  as  the  St.  Louis  Valley  Line  is  now  being  constructed 
between  East  St.  Louis  and  East  Cape  Girardeau.  Track  laying  is  now  in 
progress,  and  it  is  reported  that  this  line  will  pass  into  the  hands  of  the 
St.  Louis  Southwestern  Railway,  as  soon  as  it  is  completed,  which  will 
give  that  road  an  entrance  into  this  city  over  their  own  rails. 

The  St.  Louis,  Memphis  &  Southeastern  Railroad  will  be  completed  in 
1902.  It  will  connect  the  St.  Louis  &  San  Francisco  Railroad  Company's 
subsidiary  lines  with  the  main  road,  and  will  give  St.  Louis  a  new  line  to 
the  Southeast.  They  will  use  the  Frisco  terminals  in  this  city,  and  their 
tracks  leading  out  of  this  city  to  a  point  this  side  of  Pacific  Junction,  from 
which  point  they  will  construct  about  170  miles  of  road,  through  Crystal 
City  and  Cape  Girardeau  to  Luxora,  from  which  point  they  now  have  a 
line  which  reaches  the  Frisco  System  at  Deckerville,  Ark.,  28  miles  west 
of  Memphis,  Tenn. 

The  construction  of  these  new  lines  is  no  doubt  due  to  the  rapid  develop- 
ment of  the  South  and  the  West,  and  the  increased  volume  of  business 
which  is  seeking  this  market. 

The  railroads,  realizing  the  importance  of  ftust  and  economical  trans- 
portation of  freight,  have,  in  the  last  year,  spent  large  sums  in  improving 

their  roadways  leading  from  this  city,  and  In  the  purchase  of  new  equip- 
ment of  increased  capacity  to  handle  our  rapidly  growing  business. 

A  few  years  ago,  the  rule  was  freight  cars  of  thirty  to  forty  thousand 
pounds  capacity,  but  now  they  are  building  cars  of  sixty,  eighty  and  one 
hundred  thousand  pounds  capacity. 

With  larger  engines,  cars  of  greater  carrying  capacity,  and  improve- 
ment of  the&  track,  by  the  elimination  of  many  of  the  grades  and  curves, 
the  railroads  can  handle  a  much  larger  volume  of  business  at  a  lower 
average  cost. 

The  strength  of  all  great  trade  centers  is  in  their  facilities  for  fast  and 
cheap  transportation  'm  the  most  direct  and  shortest  routes,  and  the  im- 
provements made  by  the  St.  Louis  lines  in  the  past  year,  with  those 
glanned  for  the  condng  year  are  such  as  to  encourage  everyone  interested 
1  the  growth  and  expansion  of  the  trade  of  this  city.

94  TRADE  AND  OOMMXBGS  OF 


THE    RIVERS. 


Biyer  traffic  daring  1901  shows  a  slight  falling  off  as  compared  with  the 
preyions  year^  hut  a  small  increase  over  1899. 

The  total  tons  handled  for  the  three  years  compare  as  follows: 

1901.  1900.  1899. 

Tons  received  by  steamboats  and  barges 412,355  488,070  394,660 

Tons  receiyed  by  rafts 60,660  78,8^  72,96o 

Tons  shipped  by  steamboats  and  barges 200,371  346,680  308,305 

Total 673,076  767,690  669,816 

The  business  in  the  lower  river  was  lights  there  being  but  a  small  move- 
ment of  grain  for  export.  In  the  upper  river  business  was  fairly  satifactory^ 
although  low  water  came  early  in  August  on  account  of  the  drouth.  The 
passenger  business  was  good^  and  shows  a  steady  increase  each  year.  There 
was  quite  an  increase  in  the  business  of  both  the  Illinois  and  Missouri 
Bivers. 

There  was  a  fairly  good  stage  of  water  out  to  Cairo  during  the  first  half 
of  the  year^  but  in  July  the  stage  fell  to  six  feet^  to  five  feet  in  August  and 
four  to  four  and  one-half  during  October  and  November.  Navigation 
closed  about  December  15th,  on  account  ice  and  low  water. 

It  is  probable  that  during  the  coming  year  a  new  element  will  be  intro- 
duced into  the  commerce  of  the  lower  river,  namely^  the  transportation  of 
Texas  oil  to  St.  Louis.  It  is  reported  that  arrangements  are  now  being 
perfected  to  place  a  boat  and  two  barges  in  the  trade  as  soon  as  plans  are 
completed  for  the  delivery  of  the  oil  at  New  Orleans.

The  cotton  crop  of  the  United  States  for  the  cotton  year,  ending  August 
3l6t,  1901  y  was  10,383,422  bales,  an  increase  over  the  preyious  year  of 
about  10%. 

The  gross  receipts  at  St.  Louis  were  973,497  bales,  an  Increase  of  over 
21%.    Net  receipts  were  239,628  bales,  an  increase  of  oyer  55%. 

This  statement  shows  a  gratifying  increase  in  the  cotton  business  of 
St.  Louis,  especially  in  the  net  receipts,  which  show  the  amount  handled 
in  this  city.  A  notable  feature  of  the  year  was  the  continued  increase  in 
the  amount  of  round-bale  cotton  handled,  which  amounted  to  5,723  large 
and  280,057  small  bales,  all  of  which  was  handled  here  and  was  therefore 
net  receiptB. 

Mr.  Henry  G.  Hester,  Secretary  New  Orleans  Cotton  Exchange,  makes 
Uie  following  statement  as  to  yalue  of  this  and  preyious  crops : 

^'On  the  basis  of  middling,  which  represents  the  ayerage  of  the  crop,  a 
fair  ayerage  of  price  for  the  United  States  is  9.83  cents  per  pound,  which 
compares  with  7.65  cents  for  last  year  and  4.88  for  1898-99,  the  highest 
price  touched  during  the  season  haying  been  11.12  and  the  lowest  7.56. 

^^The  ayerage  commercial  yalue  of  the  crop  is  $47.63  per  bale,  against 
$38.65  last  year,  $25.08  the  year  before  and  $28.62  in  1898-99. 

*The  total  yalue  of  the  crop  compares  with  the  preyious  flye  years,  as 
follows:

1894-96 9,901,261  297,087,630 

^^This  shows  an  increase  in  yalues  oyer  last  year  of  $130,782,729,  and  oyer 
the  crop  of  1898-99  (which  was  891,418  bales  greater),  of  $211,794,562. 
When  it  is  considered  that  the  two  past  crops  sold  in  the  cotton  States  for 
$858,352,369,  their  importance  in  bringing  prosperity  to  the  South  may  be 
fully  appreciated." 

The  ayerage  weight  of  St.  Louis  standard  bales  was  511  pounds,  and 
ayeraffe  yalue  per  bale  $42.78.  The  lowest  quotations  for  middling  was

The  amount  exported  was  larger  than  usual.  England  took  190,307 
bales,  Germany  102,205  bales,  nearly  three  times  as  much  as  preyious  year, 
wliile  the  shipments  to  Japan  were  7,677  bales,  as  against  1,476  bales  the

FLOUR. 


The  millers  of  the  winter  wheat  belt  enjoyed  during  1901  the  advantage 
of  working  upon  two  exceptionally  fine  crops.  The  winter  wheat  of  1900, 
both  hard  and  soft,  was  as  nearly  perfect  as  has  ever  been  handled  in  this 
market,  while  competing  spring  wheat  sections  in  the  North  and  Northwest 
labored  under  the  misfortune  of  a  crop  deficient  in  both  quantity  and  qual- 
ity. The  winter  wheat  of  1901  was  ripened  and  harvested  under  the  most 
favorable  conditions  possible;  and  no  better  grain  has  ever  been  ground. 
The  spring  wheat  crop  of  1901  was  of  similar  high  quality  and  the  compe- 
tition between  the  two  sections  has  been  close  and  probably  to  some  extent 
restricted  profits.  But  there  has  been  a  substantial  increase  in  the  output 
of  St.  Louis  mills,  as  well  as  in  their  export  shipments  and  the  financial 
results,  if  not  exceptionally  satisfactory,  have  been  above  the  average  of 
recent  years. 

The  figures  of  fiour  manufactured  by  mills  located  at  St.  Louis  and  East 
St.  Louis  show  a  total  of  1,606,234  for  1901  against  1,346,069  for  1900,  and 
1,166,489  for  1899,  an  increase  for  the  past  year  of  12%  over  1900  and  nearly 
30%  over  1899. 

The  receipts  were  the  largest  in  the  history  of  theExchange,  while  the 
sliipments  were  greater  than  any  year,  except  1882  and  1884.  The  total 
shipments  were  2,961,663  and  total  receipts  2,170,648  barrels,  an  increase  of 
17%  and  16%  respectively  over  the  figures  of  1900. 

The  total  shipments  of  fiour  for  export  show  an  increase  over  1900  of 
about  13%,  and  over  1899  of  nearly  60%,  the  exact  figures  being  as  follows : 

Barrels. 

1901 1,189,321 

1900 1,061,961 

1899 748,878 

Upon  classifying  the  details  of  different  countries  in  groups  the  result 
shows  that  there  has  been  a  decrease  as  compared  with  1900,  of  7  %  to  U.  K. 
ports,  while  to  all  other  foreign  destinations  there  has  been  a  large  increase 
within  the  year,  varying  from  13  % ,  which  is  the  rate  of  increase  of  exports  to 
Cuba,  to  an  increase  of  nearly  ten  fold  in  the  case  of  Mediterranean  ports,  the 
figures  for  1900  being  776  barrels,  while  in  1901  there  were  shipped  from 
this  market  for  these  ports  7,471  barrels.  In  the  case  of  the  West  Indies, 
Central  America  and  South  America  the  shipments  for  1901  aggregated 
17,164  barrels,  while  for  1900  they  were  only  6,922,  the  past  year  showing 
nearly  three  the  times  the  business  of  1900. 

The  item  of  shipments  to  **  seaboard  for  export  ^'  includes  a  large  pro- 
portion of  sales  which  are  made  to  points  where  the  railroad  companies 


128  TRADI  AHD  OOMiantOB  OF 

are  not  authorized  to  iBsae  through  blllB  of  lading  from  the  weBtem  mills. 
The  flour  must  be  shipped  to  New  York  or  some  other  seaboard  point  upon 
local  bills  of  ladings  and  when  loaded  upon  vessel  the  ocean  bill  of  lading 
is  taken.  On  this  account  the  statistics  here  do  not  show  the  ultimate  des- 
tination of  186,626  barrels  which  were  shipped  to  the  seaboard  in  this  way 
during  the  year.  These  flgures  show  14%  more  than  double  the  aggregate 
of  the  preceding  year,  indicating  a  yery  important  increase  in  business  to 
the  markets  referred  to  above  requiring  transshipment  at  the  seaboard. 

In  the  domestic  trade  the  conditions  have  been  such  that  St.  Louis 
millers  have  sold  increased  quantities  in  Southeastern  markets  and  that 
they  also  have  a  fair  trade  once  more  in  the  Southwest.  The  shipments 
Southward  for  consumption  were  993,538  barrels,  as  against  823,471  barrels 
the  previous  year.  This  is  partly  due  to  freight  conditions,  and  in  some 
measure  to  the  exhaustion  of  the  wheat  supply  in  these  two  sections. 
During  the  latter  part  of  the  year  1901  the  trade  in  both  directions  was  of 
considerable  volume  and  promised  to  be  permanent,  at  least  for  the  fljrst  half 
of  1902,  until  the  new  crop  in  the  Southern  States  is  available  to  their  local 
millers.  Shipments  to  the  Eastern  States  were  also  larger,  amounting  to 
over  100,000  barrels  more  than  in  1900. 

St.  Louis  millers  continue  the  manufacture  of  soft  wheat  flour  under 
their  old  and  well  established  brands,  and  at  the  same  time  are  steadily  in- 
creasing their  output  of  hard  wheat  flour  which  is  now  accepted  in  the 
markets  of  the  world  as  being  In  no  way  inferior  to  the  best  spring  wheat 
brands  from  the  Northwest. 

New  lines  of  steamers  from  our  Gulf  ports  to  the  West  Indies,  and 
South  and  Central  American  ports  are  being  established.  There  have  also 
been  additions  to  the  European  lines  of  steamers  from  New  Orleans. 

The  shipments  during  the  year  by  river  and  railroad  Southward  for  ex- 
port and  domestic  trade  were  1,794,154  barrels,  while  the  Eastward  move- 
ment was  1,128,388  barrels.  During  the  first  half  of  the  year  patents  were 
quoted  at  $8.55@3.75,  declining  after  harvest  $3.40@3.55,  and  closing  in 
December  at  $8.90@4.10.  Extra  Fancy  ranged  from  $3.20@3.55  in  January, 
to  $2.90@8.15  in  July  and  at  the  close  was  quoted  at  $3.50^93.65. 

Stocks  held  in  store  during  the  year  were  light,  ranging  from  50,000  to 
60,000  barrels,  the  amount  on  hand  December  81st  being  62,354  barrels.

TRADE  AND  COMMERCE  OF 


QRAIN. 


The  fact  that  the  Department  of  Agriculture  has  not  made  public  the 
final  estimate  of  yield  of  the  crops  of  1901  renders  official  comparison  with 
previous  years  impossible.  It  is  known,  however^  that  the  wheat  crop  of 
1901  was  the  largest  of  record,  while  the  com  crop  was  the  smallest  since 
1881,  with  the  exception  of  1894.  The  oat  crop  was  also  shorty  but  not  in 
as  large  a  degree  as  com,  while  the  yield  of  rye  and  barley  was  up  to  the 
average. 

Taking  the  estimates  of  the  Cincinnati  Price  Current,  as  approximately- 
correct,  we  find  the  yield  of  1901  as  follows:  Wheat  715,000,000  bushels, 
com  1,400,000,000  bushels,  oats  675,000,000  bushels,  rye  25,000,000  bushels^ 
barley  75,000,000  bushels,  a  total  of  2,890,000,000  bushels. 

The  crops  of  the  previous  five  years,  as  given  by  the  Department  of 
Agriculture,  were  as  follows :

The  farm  values  for  the  year  1901  are  not  available,  but  it  may  be  esti- 
mated that  total  values  will  approximate  the  previous  year,  on  account  of 
the  large  crop  of  wheat  and  the  increased  values  of  com  and  oats. 

The  farm  values  of  the  principal  crops,  for  the  previous  four  years,  are 
given  by  the  Department  of  Agriculture  as  follows :

THE  CITY  OP  ST.  LOUIS.  137 

The  Bureau  of  Statistics  at  Washington  gives  the  amount  of  wheat  and 
wheat  flour  exported,  of  the  crop  for  the  year  ending  June  SOth^  1901^  as 
41.36%^  and  of  com  and  com  product  for  the  same  period  as  8.62%. 

The  grain  trade  of  St.  Louis  for  1901  was  veiy  satisfactory.  ^N'otwith- 
standing  a  loss  of  18%^  or  about  5^000,000  bushels  in  the  receipts  of  com^ 
as  compared  with  1900^  there  was  an  increase  in  wheat  and  oats,  so  that  the 
total  receipts  were  60,049^798  bushels^  as  against  61^144,805  bushels  the 
previous  year. 

If  flour  reduced  to  wheat  be  included  the  total  received  would  be 
69,817,264  bushels  of  all  grain,  as  compared  with  69^555,619  tlie  previous 
year,  a  most  favorable  showing. 

The  amount  of  grain  handled  at  St.  Louis  during  the  past  five  years 
compare  as  follows :

WHEAT, 

The  receipts  of  wheat  at  St.  Louis  during  the  year  1901  were  20^860,805 
bushels,  being  over  a  million  bushels  greater  than  in  1900,  and  double  those 
of  1899.  The  crops  of  both  1900  and  1901  were  of  exceptional  quality^  and 
were  harvested  under  unusually  favorable  conditions^  and  this  city  being 
the  center  of  the  winter  wheat  belt  drew  liberal  receipts.    There  was  a 


138  TRADB  AND  OOMMERCE  OF 

good  domestic  demand  all  the  year,  and  8,122,973  bushels  were  exported  via 
Atlantic  and  Gulf  ports,  the  city  mills  taking  6,160^258  bushels  in  the  man- 
ufacture of  1,605^234  barrels  of  flour. 

Prices  of  No.  2  red  were  72  to  76  during  the  first  half  of  the  year, 
declining  to  70  to  72  in  August  and  September,  ranging  from  71  to  73  in 
October,  advancing  as  high  as  78^  in  November,  and  closing  at  87>^  to  88 
in  December.

CORN. 

The  drouth  of  the  summer  of  1901  was  most  disastrous  to  the  com  crop 
of  the  great  producing  States,  resulting  in  a  smaller  yield  than  for  many 
years.  It  was  particularly  severe  in  the  States  west  of  the  Mississippi  from 
which  St.  Louis  usually  draws  its  supplies,  and  brought  distress  and  suffer- 
ing  to  man  and  beast  in  many  places.  In  the  later  fall  and  winter  com  was 
shipped  from  St.  Louis  and  other  points  to  the  Western  States  for  feed,  a 
condition  which  seldom,  if  ever,  prevails.  Being  the  nearest  large  market 
to  the  devastated  districts  there  was  a  demand  for  com  which  was  supplied 
largely  by  St.  Louis  from  points  east  of  the  river,  so  that  the  total  amount 
of  this  cereal  handled  was  only  18^  less  than  the  previous  year,  conse- 
quently receipts  from  west  of  the  river  were  only  half  as  large  as  the  pre- 
vious year,  while  the  amount  received  from  east  of  the  river  increased  over 
five  million  bushels. 

On  account  of  the  increased  value  exports  were  light,  amounting  to 
only  2,162,798  bushels  via  Atlantic  and  Gulf  ports.  The  larger  part  went 
southward  for  consumption,  while  the  shipments  westward  to  the  corn 
producing  districts  was  over  one  million  bushels.

OATS. 

The  drouth  of  the  summer  affected  oats  as  well  as  com,  and  there  was  a 
lighter  crop  than  for  several  years.  There  was,  however,  a  large  demand 
from  the  South,  resulting  in  larger  receipts,  so  that  the  amoimt  handled 
wss  15,728,130  bushels,  against  13,257,925  the  previous  year.  Over  200,000 
bushels  were  exported  to  Cuba  and  Mexico.  The  bulk  of  the  shipments, 
amounting  to  over  9,000,000,  going  to  the  South. 

Xo.  2  oatB  were  quoted  at  24  to  25  cents  in  January  and  ranged  from  26 
to  30  up  to  July,  when  the  prices  advanced  to  40  cents,  ruling  at  about  38

MISSOURI  CROP  REVIEW. 


By  Oso.  B.  EiJiiB,  Secretary  State  Board  of  AgrlciUtare. 


The  season  of  1901  was  unfavorable  from  the  opening^  the  whiter  hayhig 
been  mild  and  the  early  spring  wet^  put  the  ground  in  poor  condition  for  a 
crop.  The  following  is  a  summaiy  of  crop  yields  and  conditions  for  the 
year. 

CORN. 

The  planting  was  considerable  later  than  usual^  there  being  only  about 
one  fifth  of  the  crop  planted  May  Ist^  and  only  90%  planted  June  Ist.  The 
cool  weather  also  retarded  germination  and  was  favorable  to  cut  worms, 
wire  worms^  com  lice  and  moles^  which  did  considerable  damage.  The 
cool  weather  continued  until  the  middle  of  June,  and  being  very  dry  after 
April  18th,  the  com  made  slow  growth.  The  condition  on  June  1st  was  77, 
on  July  1st  68,  and  the  high  temi>erature,  withering  winds  and  lack  of 
moisture  for  July  cut  the  condition  to  21  on  August  1st,  the  lowest  of  the 
season.  ' 

The  final  estimate  made  up  in  November  showed  an  average  yield  fbr 
the  State  9.9  bushels  per  acre,  which  very  closely  agrees  with  the  govern- 
ment report,  that  being  10  bushels  per  acre.  This  indicates  a  total  yield 
for  the  State  of  61,667,000  bushels.  The  quality,  however,  is  very  inferior 
on  account  of  being  worm  eaten,  chaffy  and  much  rotten  com.  The 
average  quality  is  only  46.  This  would  bring  the  total  yield  down  to  a 
feeding  value  of  only  27,760,000  bushels.  A  comparison  of  3rields  and 
acreage  for  the  State  is  given  in  the  following  table  for  the  years  1894  to 
1901  inclusive:

WHEAT. 

The  estimated  acreage  of  wheat  sown  in  1900  for  the  harvest  of  1901  was 
1^040,000  beinff  an  increase  of  4%  over  the  previous  year.  The  cool  dry- 
weather  the  Imer  part  of  April  and  in  May  which  was  so  unfavorable  to 
com  proved  advantageous  to  wheat.  Some  sections  were  damaged  by 
Hessian  fly  and  a  few  fields  in  the  Southwestern  part  of  the  State  were 
almost  destroyed  by  plant  lice.  The  wheat  filled  exceedingly  well  and 
ripened  almost  perfectly,  the  quality  of  the  whole  crop  being  estimated  at 
98.  A  number  of  samples  are  reported  testing  as  high  as  64  pounds  and  a 
few  66  pounds.  The  following  table  shows  the  acreage,  yield  per  acre  and 
total  yield  for  the  past  eight  years :

The  acreage  sown  this  year  for  harvest  of  1902  has  been  largely 
increased,  the  estimate  for  the  State  compared  with  the  previous  year  m 
164% .  The  average  condition  of  the  plant  November  1st  was  91  compared 
with  96  for  1900. 

OATS. 

There  was  a  decreased  acreage  of  oats  compared  with  the  previous 
year  of  19%.  Only  about  24%  of  the  crop  sown  was  threshed,  the 
remaindef  being  pastured  or  put  up  for  hay.  The  average  yield  per  acre 
for  the  part  of  me  crop  threshed  was  18.9  bushels,  making  a  total  yield  of 
gnAn  only  2,898,000  bushels  compared  with  30,000,000  bushels  for  1900. 
The  quality  of  the  grain  is  placed  at  61  % . 

HAY. 

The  hay  crop  of  Missouri  is  second  only  to  the  com  crop  in  value. 
The  crop  of  1900  was  estimated  to  be  worth  $20,000,000.  The  drouth  of 
this  year  cut  the  pastures  short  and  many  farmers  were  compelled  to 


THB  CITY  OP  ST.  LOUIS.  177 

pasture  the  meadows.  Only  63%  of  the  timothy  meadows  were  cut  for 
hay  with  an  average  3rleld  of  .84  tons  per  acre.  The  yield  of  clover  was  1 
ton  per  acre.  The  total  yield  of  hay  for  the  State  is  estimated  at  1,242,000 
tons  which  at  the  average  farm  value  November  Ist^  $10.66  per  ton,  makes 
a  total  valuation  of  $13,240,000. 

PORAQE  CROPS. 

A  very  large  acreage  of  forage  crops,  includihg  sorghum,  kaflSr  com, 

millet,  cow  peas,  rape  and  other  crops  were  sown  in  July  and  August  with 

the  hoi>e  of  producing  feed  to  take  the  stock  through  the  winter.     While 

the  yield  was  very  good  in  a  few  counties,  on  account  of  the  continued 

drouth  in  most  places  a  great  deal  of  that  sown  did  not  mature  any  crop 

ataU. 

FRUITS. 

The  prospect  early  in  the  season  was  exceUent  for  all  kinds  of  fruit. 
The  canker  worm  appeared  in  several  counties  in  large  numbers  in  May 
completely  defoliating  a  great  qfiany  orchards.  Aside  from  this  there  was 
less  damage  to  the  fruit  crop  from  insects  and  fungus  diseases  than  for 
sereral  years  past.  The  strawberry  crop,  while  not  large,  was  of  good 
quality  and  the  growers  generally  report  good  profits.  The  high  tempera- 
ture of  July  dried  the  blackberries  on  the  vines,  killed  many  of  the  young 
orchard  trees  and  sunburned  many  of  the  apples.  The  intelligent  oroh- 
ardist,  however,  did  not  lose  hope  but  gave  greater  attention  to  cultivating 

his  trees  thinning  and  otherwise  caring  for  his  orchard  with  the  result 
that  his  profits  were  burger  at  the  end  of  the  season  than  ever  before. 
Many  farmers  have  made  small  fortunes  off  their  orchards  this  year,  some 
of  them  receiving  as  much  as  $200  per  acre  this  year  for  their  apple  crop. 

LIVE   STOCK. 

The  worst  feature  following  the  drouth  is  a  general  decrease  in  the 
number  of  all  kinds  of  live  stock  in  this  State.  The  greatest  source  of 
revenue  for  the  Missouri  farmer  is  the  live  stock.  In  time,  no  doubt,  one 
benefit  from  the  decrease  in  stock  will  be  in  the  improvement  of  the 
quality  of  the  live  stock  in  the  State,  as  the  poorer  class  of  stock  has  been 
shipped  out.  Our  reports  show  a  decrease  in  the  number  of  horses  of  13% : 
of  cattle,  including  all  classes,  80%  of  fattening  cattle,  70%;  hogs,  all 
classes,  36% ;  fattening  hogs,  58% ;  sheep,  21%. 


SPECIAL  REPORT  ON  FRUIT  CROP. 

By  HOH.  N.  F.  MuBiLiT,  Pieaident  State  Hortioultiiral  Society,  Oregon. 


'<  In  a  good  fruit  year  in  Missouri  I  estimate  the  total  value  of  the  fruit 
sold  at  $^.000,000.  This  would  not  include  the  value  of  the  fruit  con- 
sumed by  tne  aprowers.  The  loss  on  apples  and  peaches  alone  on  account 
of  the  drouth,  I  would  place  at  $4,000,000.  This  of  course  does  not  include 
the  damage  to  the  trees  which  has  been  very  great  in  newly  planted 
OTctiards.  Now  that  we  have  had  rains  followed  by  cloudy  weather  I  look 
for  our  apples  and  late  x>eaches  to  be  good.^'

186  TRADE  AND  COMMBROS  OF 

Three  estimates  of  the  world's  wheat  crop  ot  1901  have  already 
appeared,  namely^  the  estimate  of  the  Hungarian  Ministry  of  Agricultural, 
that  of  Beerbohm's  Evening  Com  Trade  List,  published  in  London,  and 
that  of  the  Bulletin  des  Halles,  published  in  Paris.  The  estimate  first 
named  is  given  in  both  metric  centners  and  hectoliters.  The  second  is 
given  in  quarters  of  480  pounds^  and  the  third  in  hectoliters.  Hectoliters 
have  been  reduced  to  Winchester  bushels^  while  metric  centners  and 
quarters  of  480  pounds  have  been  reduced  to  bushels  of  60  pounds.  The 
estimates  were  made  in  round  numbers,  often  in  millions  of  hectoliters,  of 
metric  centners,  or  of  quarters,  as  one  or  another  of  these  denominations 
was  used.  The  quantities  obtained  by  reducing  either  hectoliters  or  metric 
centners  to  bushels  run  into  considerably  lower  orders  of  figures  than  were 
used  in  the  original  estimates,  and  thus  tend  to  give  an  aggregated 
impression  of  the  degree  of  exactness  to  which  the  estimates  lay  claim. 
Such  an  impression  is  guarded  against  to  some  extent  by  giving  the 
results  in  thousands  of  bushels,  but  it  needs  to  be  borne  in  mind  that  in  no 
case  was  an  attempt  made  to  estimate  the  crop  of  any  country  to  within  so 
small  a  quantity  as  1,000  bushels.

PROVISIONS  AND  PACKING. 


PORK  PRODUCT. 

In  all  lines  of  proYisions  the  business  of  1901  exceeded  any  previouB 
year.  The  receipts  of  cattle,  sheep  and  hogs  are  increasing  each  year,  and 
the  supply  is  only  limited  by  the  demand.  A  new  plant  for  both  beef  and 
pork  packing  is  being  erected  at  the  National  Yards,  and  two  new  plants 
have  recently  been  started  on  the  West  side. 

The  amount  of  pork  products  handled  as  shown  by  the  receipts  and 
shipments  amounted  to  789,538,496  pounds. 

The  packing  on  both  sides  of  the  river  for  the  winter  season  of  1900-1901 
was  667,000  head,  and  for  the  twelve  months  ending  March  1st,  1901,

188  TRADE  AND  OOMHSBCB  OF 


DRESSED  BEEF. 


By  Philip  H.  Halb,  Publisher  National  Farmer  and  Stock  Reporter. 


The  year  1901  was  a  record  breaker  in  the  dressed  beef  trade  of  St.  Loais. 
Having  remained  in  a  stationary  condition  for  six  yearS;  after  becoming  an 
industry  of  considerable  proportions^  a  gain  in  slaughter  of  123^224  cattle 
and  10,6S8  calves  over  the  previous  year  was  gratifying  to  all  concerned ; 
especially  so  as  the  increased  dressed  beef  shipments  made  a  ^ain  for  the 
year  of  56^635,720  pounds  over  and  above  the  shipping  record  of  the  best 
former  year. 

The  principal  houses  in  this  trade  report  considerable  increase  in  both 
local  and  shipping  orders^  and  assert  that  there  need  be  no  limit  in  this 
branch  of  commerce,  provided  a  larger  number  of  cattle  and  calves  are 
available  on  the  market. 

The  dressed  beef  trade  handled  607,788  cattle  and  60,774  calves  in  the 
year  1901,  against  a  total  of  484,564  cattle  and  50,116  calves,  receiving  and 
slaughtering  during  the  previous  year  and  against  540^230  cattle  and  58,330 
calves  the  highest  record  in  previous  vears. 

The  outward  shipments  satisfactorily  account  for  the  increased  slaughter. 
The  quantity  of  refrigerated  dressed  beef  exported  from  the  city  in  the 
year  1901  was  348,443,030  pounds,  and  represents  an  enormous  output  for  an 
industry  which  is  only  in  the  thirteenth  year.  The  gain  is  extraordinary 
onder  existing  circumstances.  The  previous  largest  total  was  293,807,310 
pounds  during  the  year  1900,  and  the  average  of  me  best  six  previous  years 
was  268,000,000  pounds. 

It  appears  as  a  remarkable  coincidence  that  the  arrivals  of  dressed  beef 
from  other  cities,  for  consumption  in  St.  Louis,  in  1901  was  multiplied  by 
three ;  this  can  only  be  accounted  for  by  the  ezilarged  requirements  of  the 
increased  population  of  the  city. 

The  refrigerated  dressed  beef  arrivals  for  consumption  in  St.  Louis 
during  the  year  in  review  amounted  to  110,707,200  pounds,  an  increase  of 
75,247,110  pounds  over  the  year  1900,  and  an  increase  of  46,094,860  pounds 
over  the  greatest  quantity  received  during  any  previous  year.  It  is  regarded 
as  a  most  favorable  feature  that  receipts  and  shipments  could  increase  in 
the  same  year. 

The  brevity  of  this  report  is  due  to  highly  satisfactory  conditions.  It 
is  a  simple  record  of  St.  Louis  enlargement  and  progress. 

The  following  statement  gives  the  cattle  and  calves  slaughtered  at 
St.  Louis  and  East  St.  Louis  by  dressed  beef  houses,  also  the  receipts  and 
shipments  of  dressed  beef :

THE  CITY  OF  ST.  LOUIS.  199 


LIVE  STOCK. 


By  E.  8.  McIhttbs,  Assistant  Editor  of  the  Dally  National  Live  Stock  Reporter. 


The  year  1901  was  a  record  breaker  in  the  Live  Stock  market  at 
St.  Louis.  The  receipts  of  cattle  and  hogs  were  the  largestj^on  record, 
while  the  sheep  and  the  horse  and  mule  arrivals  were  the  second  largest 
ever  received.  Cattle  arrivals  were  almost  200,000  head  larger  than  ever 
before,  hog  arrivals  80,000  head  larger,  sheep  a  few  thousand  below  the 
record  but  over  100,000  larger  than  in  1900,  while  the  horse  and  mule 
figures  are  about  20,000  less  than  last  year.  The  grand  total  of  stock 
recelTed  during  the  year  shows  an  increase  of  over  300,000  head  compared 
with  1900.  While  the  receipts  have  been  increasing  the  demand  has  also 
grown,  and  the  Live  Stock  market  at  St.  Louis  at  the  close  of  the  year  1901 
holds  a  much  stronger  position  compared  with  other  markets  than  ever 
before.  The  demand  during  the  year  was  not  only  larger  but  more  uniform 
than  ever  before,  and  the  arrivals  each  day,  as  a  rule,  were  well  cleaned 
up,  and  many  times  the  demand  was  not  satisfied.  Not  only  has  the 
demand  at  this  market  from  the  great  packing  houses  grown,  but  local 
butchers,  which  is  a  larger  figure  in  the  trade  here  than  an3rwhere  else 
in  the  United  States,  bought  more  stock  than  any  year  in  the  past.  In 
former  years  a  liberal  number  of  stock  were  forwarded  to  other  markets, 
because  either  they  did  not  receive  any  bids  or  else  those  received  were  too 
low  to  accept,  but  during  the  year  1901  the  per  cent,  of  stock  forwarded 
was  the  smallest  ever  known,  in  fact  hardly  worthy  of  mention,  while  the 
number  received  from  other  markets  and  sold  here  was  larger  than  any 
previous  year.  Not  only  was  the  number  of  head  received  and  sold  larger 
than  during  1900,  but  values  in  every  branch  of  the  trade  were  on  a  higher 
basis,  making  the  volume  of  business  done  in  dollars  and  cents  much 
larger  than  ever  in  the  history  of  the  trade.  One  of  the  greatest  achieve- 
ments of  the  year  and  which  bespeaks  well  for  the  future  was  the  erection 
of  a  new  plant  here  for  the  slaughter  of  all  kinds  of  live  stock,  to  cost  over 
a  million  dollars,  which  will  be  in  operation  during  the  early  part  of  1902. 
This,  of  course,  will  necessitate  an  increase  in  the  receipts  in  all  depart- 
ments in  order  to  meet  the  demand. 

NATIVE  CATTLE, 

The  native  cattle  trade  during  the  past  year  was  the  most  satisfactory 
ever  known  at  this  market  from  every  standpoint.  All  classes  of  cattle 
were  received  in  larger  numbers  and  prices  realized  were  the  highest  for 
many  years,  especially  on  good  quality  fat  butcher  and  export  steers. 


200  TBADI  AND  COMMSBOB  OF 

The  highest  price  realized  during  1900  was  96.60  per  100  ponnds,  while 
98.00  was  paid  for  a  load  of  1,848  i>oimds  Christmas  steers  on  December 
11th,  1901,  and  nine  different  weeks  steers  sold  at  $6.75  or  better,  and  of 
course  other  butcher  cattle  in  proi>ortion.  The  volume  of  business  done 
in  the  stocker  and  feeder  line  also  showed  great  improvement  over  former 
years,  and  feeders  from  Illinois  and  Bastem  states  have  realized  more 
strongly  during  the  past  year  the  advantages  of  this  market.  Another 
noticeable  feature'of  the  trade  was  the  improvement  in  quality  of  the  stock 
marketed  over  those  coming  a  few  years  ago,  fanners  being  more 
thoroughly  convinced  that  ''good  blood  will  tell.'* 

SOUTHERN  CATTLE. 

In  the  southern  or  quarantine  department  the  arrivals  show  a  gain  over 
1900  of  2,000  cars  or  about  60,000  head.  This  increase  came  principally 
from  the  Indian  Territory  and  Texas.  A  total  of  17,804  oars  of  southern 
cattle  were  received,  which  is  more  tlian  received  by  all  other  markets 
combined.  Values  were  also  higher  than  in  1900,  the  best  fed  steers 
selling  up  to  $6.40,  grass  steers  up  to  $4.90,  and  the  general  range  averaging 
better.  Like  their  brethren  from  the  North,  the  ranch  owners  and  stock 
men  in  the  southern  states  are  fast  realizing  the  necessity  of  better  cattle, 
and  the  improvement  in  the  offerings  during  the  past  year  was  more 
marked  than  ever  before.  All  things  considered  there  is  but  one  market 
for  southern  cattle  and  that  one  Is  located  at  St.  Louis. 

HOGS. 

Again  the  record  was  broken  in  the  number  of  hogs  received,  the  total 
being  about  80,000  head  larger  than  in  1900,  which  was  the  previous  best 
year,  and  bringing  the  total  for  1901  up  to  2,286,946  head.  A  noticeable 
feature  of  the  trade  was  that  the  general  average  weight  of  the  hogs  was 
much  below  former  years,  caused  by  the  drouth  in  the  great  com  belt. 
Fanners  having  made  only  a  small  proportion  of  what  would  be  called  a 
good  crop,  were  forced  to  market  their  hogs  much  earlier  than  they 
intended  and  before  they  were  mature.  During  the  closing  months  of  the 
year  good  com  fed  hogs  260  pounds  average  and  above  were  very  scarce, 
the  number  arriving  not  being  more  than  one  tenth  as  large  as  in  former 
years,  while  the  proportion  of  lights  was  much  larger  and  never  were  so 
nuuay  pigs  on  the  market.  This  condition  caused  a  wide  range  in  values 
and  at  the  close  of  the  year,  while  good  to  choice  hogs  were  selling  at 
$6.70  per  100  pounds,  lots  of  pigs  were  being  bought  at  $8.00  to  $4.60,  with 
the  very  best  at  $6.00,  which  is  almost  $2.00  per  100  pounds  less  than  the  best 
hogs  were  bringing.  During  1900  the  range  in  values  was  not  half  this 
large.  Butchers  were  more  active  in  the  trade  than  former  years,  which 
caused  the  competition  for  the  good  hogs  to  be  keen  and  this  fact  had  its 
influence  to  make  them  sell  at  a  premium  over  the  medium  grades,  and  the 
city  butchers  bought  almost  twice  as  many  hogs  as  ever  before,  and  the 
fact  that  this  trade  was  the  largest  at  the  close  of  the  year  is  a  good 


THE  OITT  OF  ST.  LOUIS.  201 

Indicatioii  for  1903.  Local  packers  ot  oonne  bought  the  greater  proportion 
of  the  arrivalit  and  at  all  times  were  complaixiing  that  the  supply  of  good 
hogs  was  not  snffioient  to  allow  them  to  kill  as  many  as  they  would  like 
sad  on  several  different  occasions  they  were  forced  to  get  supplies  from 
other  i>oints  to  fill  urgent  orders.  Eastern  concerns  bought  their  usual 
number  of  lights  and  would  have  taken  more  good  ones  had  they  been 
available.  At  no  time  during  the  entire  year  was  the  receipts  of  good  hogs 
of  any  weight  sufficient  to  meet  the  demand^  while  the  common  kinds 
could  not  be  sold  without  considerable  trouble.  In  many  parts  of  the 
territory  tributary  to  St.  Louis  farmers  have  improved  the  quality  of  their 
hogs  considerable  during  the  past  few  years,  but  sections  are  stUl  producing 
the  old  ''razor  back^'  and  it  appears  Uiat  to  them  a  hog  is  a  hog  or  rather 
that  a  common  pig  is  a  hog.  The  year  opened  with  the  best  hogs  selling 
around  15.26  per  100  pounds.  Values  gradually  increased  and  $6.00  was 
reached  in  March  and  $7.00  by  the  first  of  September.  On  the  29rd  of 
September  the  top  was  $7.37>^,  the  highest  figure  reached  since  early  in 
1883.  During  this  time  and  the  close  of  the  year  there  was  but  little 
change  and  at  the  close  $6.70  waa  the  top  of  the  market,  while  the  years 
1900  and  1901  were  both  record  breakers  in  this  branch  of  the  trade. 
Indications  for  the  future  are  very  promising  as  the  demand  will  be  much 
larger  than  ever  before  and  this,  of  course,  will  cause  values  to  be  on  a 
stronger  basis  compared  with  other  markets.  If  shippers  will  keep  them- 
selves posted  as  to  the  condition  of  the  market  and  ship  good  strictly  com 
fed  hogs  they  will  find  the  St.  Louis  market  the  place  to  get  the  largest 
net  returns. 

SHBEP. 

No  branch  of  the  live  stock  trade  in  St.  Louis  has  made  so  much 
improvement  during  the  past  few  years  as  the  sheep  department.  The 
receipts  during  1901  were  100,000  head  larger  than  1900  and  the  third 
largest  on  record,  but  the  greatest  improvement  has  been  in  the  demand. 
A  few  years  ago  a  large  per  cent,  of  the  receipts  could  not  be  sold  at 
satisfactory  prices^  and  had  to  be  forwarded  to  other  markets,  but  now 
supplies  have  to  be  got  from  other  markets  to  fill  urgent  orders  of  local 
slaughters,  consequently  prices  were  at  all  times  fully  as  high  or  often 
higher  than  at  other  points.  Almost  twice  the  number  of  good  lambs  and 
mutton  sheep  could  be  used  at  this  market  as  have  been  received  in  former 
years.  Of  course,  like  all  other  branches  of  the  trade,  common  and  only 
fair  grade  stock  do  not  meet  with  as  strong  demand  as  the  better  kinds; 
however,  each  year  more  sheep  are  bought  here  by  countrymen  for 
stocker  and  feeding  purposes  and  all  that  cannot  be  used  for  mutton  are 
disposed  of  in  this  manner. 

If  farmers,  tributary  to  this  market,  would  give  the  sheep  industry  a 
little  more  attention  they  would  find  it  to  their  advantage.  At  no  time  in 
the  liistory  of  the  St.  Louis  market  was  the  demand  for  all  grades  of  sheep 
and  lambs  as  large  as  at  present,  and  future  prospects  are  very  encouraging. 
The  year  1901  opened  with  the  good  lambs  selling  at  $6.60  to  $6.00  per  100 


202  TRADE  AND  OOMMFRCE  OF 

pounds,  and  the  best  sheep  at  $4.00  to  $4.60.  During  the  spring  and  early 
summer  the  best  sheep  sold  up  to  $5.10^  but^  of  course,  declined  rapidly 
during  the  summer,  and  lots  of  good  mutton  sheep  sold  at  $3.00  to  $3.60 
per  100  pounds.  But  little  improvement  was  made  daring  the  latter  part 
of  the  year,  and  at  the  close  good  mutton  sheep  were  worth  only  $3.60  to 
$4.00,  and  the  best  lambs  were  selling  at  $6.00  to  $6.76. 

HORSES  AND  MULES. 

The  horse  and  mule  market  at  St.  Louis  continues  to  be  the  largest  in 
in  the  world,  although  the  volume  of  business  during  the  past  year  was 
not  quite  so  large  as  in  1900,  but  the  same  was  also  true  in  regard  to  other 
markets  in  the  United  States.  One  cause  for  the  falling  off  in  business  was 
the  high  price  of  feed  caused  by  the  drouth.  Nobody  cared  to  buy  a  horse 
unless  compelled  to,  and  those  that  were  forced  to  make  purchases  got 
along  with  just  as  few  horses  as  possible,  and  put  off  obtaining  them  until 
forced  to  in  order  to  carry  on  their  business.  The  British  government 
again  bought  liberal  numbers  of  cavalry  horses  and  pack  mules  for  use  in 
the  South  African  war.  During  the  first  half  of  the  year  draft  horses 
experienced  a  better  demand  than  ever  before,  and  good  coach  and  driving 
animals  were  also  ready  sale.  Foreign  buyers  were  at  all  times  on  hand 
ready  to  take  all  the  good  chunks  and  other  horses  suitable  to  their  trade. 

The  mule  trade  was  in  much  the  same  condition  as  the  horse  business. 
During  the  early  part  of  the  year  prices  advanced,  and  good  mules  were 
$25  to  $40  per  head  higher  than  any  time  during  1900,  and  on  the  highest 
basis  for  many  years,  dealers  often  remarking  that  it  put  them  in  mind  of 
the  ''  good  old  days."  During  the  last  half  of  the  year  values  were  on  a 
slightly  lower  basis,  but  the  principal  trouble  was  the  light  demand.  This 
is,  however,  expected  to  increase  to  a  large  extent  during  the  first  two  or 
three  months  of  the  new  year,  and  there  is  no  question  whatever  that 
when  the  business  in  the  horse  and  mule  line  becomes  more  active  but  that 
it  will  first  be  felt  in  the  St.  Louis  market,  and  well  it  should,  as  it  is  here 
where  the  largest  amount  of  business  is  done.  All  grades  of  horses  can  be 
secured  quickly  at  this  market,  and  several  train  loads  of  mules  could  be 
shipped  out  in  a  single  day  and  not  be  missed,  as  frequently  the  number  in 
dealers  hands  ranges  from  20,000  to  26,000  head,  including  all  grades,  and 
affording  purchasers  a  large  assortment  to  make  selections  from.

Ifearlj  all  Oie  leaf  tobacco  waa  bronght  trom  polnta  outside  the  State, 

largely  from  Kentackj,  and  used  by  the  local  factories  In  tlie  manufacture 

of  tobacco,  snuff,  cigars  and  clg&reCtes.    Some  recelpW  were  from  Cuba 

and  Porto  Klco  for  tbe  manufacture  of  cigars. 

MANUFACTURED. 

St.  Lools  maintained  its  posltioii  as  the  place  where  more  tobacco  Is 
mannfavtored  annaally  than  any  other  place  in  the  world.  The  total 
amount  mannfaotnred  in  1001  In  the  flraC  UIsBourl  district,  of  which 
nearly  the  entire  amount  Is  the  output  of  St.  Louis  factories,  was  82.010,863 
pounds,  against  79,394,957  pounds  In  1900  and  60,873,197  pounds  lo  1S99, 
and.  If  BQuff  Is  included,  the  amount  would  be  32,036,371  pounds.  In 
addition  to  the  amount  manufactured  in  St.  Louie,  there  was  received 
14,892,940  ponnds  from  other  points,  makinir  the  total  business  of  the  year 
96,918,311  pounds.     Shipments  were  90,932,879  pounds. 

The  output  of  cieare  was  46,325,000,  a.  falling  off  from  previous  years. 
The  total  number  of  cigare  sold  in  this  market  during  the  year  is  placed  at 
260,000,000.  The  value  of  tobacco  and  cigars  manufactured  wag  fully 
$46,000,000. 

The  Commissioner  of  Internal  Revenue  reports  the  total  amount  of 
tobacco  mannfactnred  in  the  United  States  in  1900  as  300,707,189  pounds, 
of  which  the  flrst  Missouri  district  produced  78,067,750  ponnds,  equal  to 
nearly  26$. 

The  figures  for  1901  are  not  now  available,  but  as  the  St.  Lonls  output 
of  1901  was  considerably  Increased,  doubtless  the  percentage  for  1901  will 
correspondingly  increase.

TRADE  AND  OOMMEBOS  OF 


BAOOINQ  AND  COTTON  TIES. 


Notwithstanding  the  short  cotton  crop,  the  business  in  bagging  and 
ties  has  shown  a  large  increase  oyer  1900^  both  in  the  amount  of  bagging 
manufactured  and  the  amount  of  bagging  and  ties  distributed  from  this 
city. 

Local  manufacturers  have  operated  their  plants  on  full  time  making 
about  2;500;000  yards  more  than  in  the  year  1900,  and  the  end  of  the  year 
finds  them  actively  at  work  preparing  a  supply  for  the  next  cotton  crop.

The  receipts  of  naval  stores,  as  indicated  by  the  above  table,  show  a 
very  marked  increase  during  1901,  demonstrating  that  the  business  is 
increasing  on  account  of  the  natural  growth  of  the  city  and  territory  west 
of  the  river.  There  is  an  increased  demand  for  rosin  from  sources  entirely 
new  to  the  trade.  St.  Louis  continues  to  be  the  largest  distributing  point 
in  the  West  in  this  ine. 

Die  largest  part  of  the  receipts  of  turpentine  came  in  tank  cars  which 
are  reduced  to  barrels  for  comparison.

LEAD  AND  SPELTER, 

PIQ  LEAD. 

Bj  John  Wahl  Gommlflslon  Oo. 

Little  caa  l>e  said  about  the  lead  market  daring  the  year  1901.  Prices  of 
lead  remj^ned  UBsnally  steady  around  (4.27  jii  to  94.32>(^  baslB  in  St.  LouJb, 
notwithatandiju^  the  heavy  supply  of  lead  ores;  larger  than  ever  before  in 
tlie  hiatoiy  of  t£ie  country. 

The  year  opened  with  prices  of  Missouri  lead,  in  St.  Louis.  $4.26  to 
94*27>^,  and  Argentiferous  i4.82>(t,  and  only  during  the  last  month  of  the 
year,  when  the  London  market  declined  to  something  like  LIO  5s^  the 
stronfl^  poll(7  of  the  Smelting  Company  was  abandoned,  and  the  drop  to 
S3.86  Dasis  St.  Louis  for  Argentiferous  occurred ;  Missouri  brands  selling 
down  to  |3.87>^.  Lead  productions  in  the  United  States  reached  the 
highest  point  on  record. 

The  output  for  the  year  shows  something  like  275,000  short  tons,  of 
wliich  221,000  tons  or  80%  were  classed  as  aesilyeriaed  lead;  somethinff 
like  48,000  tone  or  17%  were  soft  lead,  carrying  no  silver,  and  about  7,000 
tons  or  a  little  over  2%  hard  or  antimonial  lead.  The  mines  of  the  Coeur 
d*Alenes  in  Idaho  produced  about  one-third  of  the  ores  from  which  the 
desilTerized  lead  was  smelted.  The  soft  lead,  as  heretofore,  came  chiefly 
from  Missouri,  by  far  the  larger  part  from  the  Southeast  Missouri  district, 
where  lead  ores  only  are  mined,  and  the  rest  from  the  Joplin  district, 
where  lead  is  obtained  in  connection  with  zinc  ores,  which  are  the  chief 
product  of  that  region. 

WHITE  LEAD. 

The  manufacture  of  white  lead  is  one  of  the  most  important  industries 
in  8t.  Louis,  as  it  is  advantageously  situated  for  the  manufacture  of  this 
eonunodity,  owing  to  geographical  position,  and  being  centrally  located 
can  distribute  the  manufactured  product  to  advantage  to  all  parts  of  the 
oountry.  The  principal  brands  manufactured  in  St.  Louis  of  strictly  pure 
lead  are  the  QoUler.  Southern  and  Bed  Seal,  some  of  which  have  been  on 
the  market  for  half  a  century,  and  have  an  established  reputation  for 
purity  and  general  excellence  from  one  end  of  the  United  States  to  the  other. 
Probably  one-third  of  the  white  lead  manufactured  in  the  United  States 
is  made  in  St.  Louis,  and  its  factories  give  employment  to  hundreds  of  men, 
and  are  equipped  with  the  most  modem  machinery,  and  have  been  kept  in 
constant  operation  during  the  year.  All  of  the  lead  manufactured  in 
St.  Louis  is  made  by  the  ^'old  Dutch  process^'  of  corrosion,  which  gives 
the  product  a  superiority  over  so-called  quick  process  leads.  Experiments 
of  all  kind  are  being  constantly  made,  but  as  yet  nothing  has  been  found 
that  lias  the  durablBty  and  covering  capacity  of  lead  manufactured  by  this 

Srocess  of  slow  corrosion.    The  shipments  were  59,670,720  lbs.,  as  against 
),645,780  lbs.  in  1900  and  48,460,250  lbs.  in  1899. 

SPELTER. 

Notwithstanding  a  large  volume  of  export  business  was  handled  through 
agencies  stationed  at  points  of  production  and  which  ordinarily  would 
have  come  to  St.  Louis  by  virtue  of  this  being  the  principal  primary 
market,  the  year  1901  was  a  favorable  one  both  in  point  of  business  trans- 
acted and  prices  paid  for  the  commodity.  Bequirements  for  consumption 
were  in  excess  of  any  former  year,  so  that  th^  much  larger  movement  to 
this  center  did  not  permit  of  an  accumulation  of  supplies  at  any  time.  The 
range  of  prices  was  limited  to  42>^  cents  per  100  lbs  ,  showing  an  entire 
absence  of  any  manipulation.

WOOL. 


By  FUIVSTON  Bbos.  &  Oo. 

The  wool  business  for  the  year  1901  has  been  a  most  satisfactory  one  to 
the  St.  Lonis  merchants.  The  trade  here  laid  in  their  stocks  at  shearing 
time  intelligently^  and  bought  in  large  quantities  at  prices  that  proved  to 
bo  the  lowest  of  the  season.  Manufacturers  have  fayored  the  St.  Louis 
market  more  than  ever  during  the  past  year,  many  mills  coming  here  for 
supplies  that  have  not  bought  here  for  many  years.  This  was  brought 
aboat  largely  by  the  enterprising,  progressive  and  fair  business  methods  of 
the  St.  Louis  merchants. 

The  stocks  of  wool  on  hand  in  St.  Louis,  January  1st,  1902^  were  the 
smallest  known  here  in  years^  which  reflects  credit  upon  the  trade^  as  by 
being  free  sellers^  the  merchants  are  well  sold  out,  and  have  thereby  placed 
Hiemselyes  in  excellent  condition  to  handle  the  clip  of  1902  from  the  West- 
em  States  and  Territories  to  better  advantage  than  ever. 

The  wool  trade  is  in  a  general  healthy  condition,  and  the  year  1902  bids 
fair  to  be  another  good  year.  Manufacturers  are  now  using  a  smaller  per- 
centage of  cotton  and  cheaper  materials  in  woolen  goods  which  increases 
the  consumption  of  wool  and  creates  a  steadier  movement,  and  more  stable 
values.  St.  Louis  is  conceded  to  be  the  second  largest  wool  market  in  the 
United  States,  and  is  a  strong  competitor  for  both  territory  and  domestic 
wools. 

Pulled  and  scoured  wools  have  sold  well  from  this  market,  and  the 
amount  scoured  during  the  i>ast  year  has  been  much  larger  than  previous 
years,  and  the  process  of  scouring  has  been  much  improved.  A  conserva- 
tive estimate  of  the  value  of  wool  handled  in  St.  Louis  during  1901  amounts 

to  about  $10,600,000.00. 

FURS. 

St  Louis  for  years  conceded  to  be  the  largest  primary  fur  market  in  the 
world^  continues  to  grow  in  importance  as  a  great  fur  center,  and  in  recent 
years  has  reached  out  into  even  the  most  remote  parts  of  Canada  and 
Alaska  where  the  fur  bearing  animals  of  the  rarest  and  most  costly  furs 
abound. 

The  acquisition  of  the  handling  of  these  fine  and  costly  furs  from  the 

far  North  in  the  St.  Louis  market  has  been  a  great  success^  and  has  done 

much  to  make  the  already  great  fur  center  even  more  important  in  the 

world^s  fur  trade.    The  prompt,  fair  and  altogether  splendid  methods  of 

handling  and  selling  furs  in  this  market  will  ever  keep  it  the  most  i>opular 
market  m  America. 

The  active  fur  season  only  lasts  about  four  months  in  the  year,  during 
which  time  something  over  $4,000^000.00  worth  of  raw  furs  are  received 
and  sold  in  this  market. 

The  fur  season  of  1901  and  1902  will  go  down  in  the  annals  of  the  fur 
trade  as  one  of  the  greatest  and  most  successful  ever  known.  The  volume 
ever  known.  The  volume  has  been  larger  this  season  than  ever^  and 
values  higher  and  steadier  than  for  many  years.

HAY. 


By  the  St.  Louis  Hay  Bzchmnge. 

We  find  the  Hay  market,  at  the  close  of  1901,  in  a  most  satisfactoiy 
condition;  shippers  and  commission  men  alike  have  enjoyed  a  rather 
phenomenal  season.  While  receipts  were  in  excess  of  1900,  by  16,800  tons, 
file  market  at  all  times  absorbed  the  receipts  (except  when  the  railroads 
were  nnable  to  famish  facilities  to  handle  cars  out). 

Two  conditions  have  come  about  since  December,  1900,  to  contribute  to 
this  increased  trade :  First,  that  St.  Louis  is  made  the  distributing  point 
for  a  greater  part  of  the  drought  stricken  section,  and  the  rapid,  almost 
unparalleled  development  of  the  country,  southwest  of  St.  Louis. 

The  average  prices  on  timothy  hay  and  wild  grass  (prairie  hay),  has 
ruled  much  higher  than  1900,  with  quality  much  reduced.  There  was 
scarcely  a  week  through  October,  November  and  December  of  1901  that 
tbere  was  not  orders  for  26,  50  and  100  car  lots;  the  condition  being  one  of 
cars,  and  not  of  price,  at  any  time 

We  find  on  December  31, 1901,  a  stock  of  1600  tons;  much  of  this  sold 
and  held  for  cars  to  load  out. 

Much  credit  should  be  given  the  St.  Louis  merchants,  when  yon  con- 
sider that  they  had  to  go  to  Michigan,  Indiana  and  Iowa,  and  in  some 
instances,  Nebraska,  to  get  hay,  that  they,  might  meet  the  requirements  of 
the  enlarged  trade.  Seven-eighths  of  the  hay  received  on  this  market  in 
December  came  from  Michigan  and  Indiana.

TftADB  AHD  OOMMSROK  OF 


CANDIES. 


St  Louis  continues  to  be  one  of  the  greatest  candy  markets  in  the 
United  States. 

The  volume  of  business  in  1901  has  been  about  25%  larger  than  in  1900, 
and  the  class  of  goods  purchased  during  the  year  would  show  an  increasing 
appreciation  of  the  higher  grades  of  confectionery  by  consumers  generally. 

There  are  seven  large  factories  in  St.  Louis,  employing  about  2,000 
hands  and  pa3ring  in  wages  nearly  three-quarters  of  a  million  dollars  per 
annum. 

All  grades  of  candies  are  manufactured,  from  the  cheapest  to  the  most 
expensive,  thus  offering  to  the  purchaser,  whether  he  be  wholesaler  or 
retailer,  facilities  for  selection  unsurpassed  by  any  other  market  in  the 
country. 

The  trade  extends  over  nearly  the  entire  United  States,  reaching  on  the 
east  to  the  New  England  and  the  Atlantic  Coast  States,  and  on  the  west  to 
the  Pacific  Slope. 

St.  Louis  is  geographically  the  center  of  the  Mississippi  Valley,  and 
enjoys  exceptional  advantages  as  a  distributing  point.  This  gives  St.  Louis 
oonfectioners  a  predominating  position  with  the  Central,  Western  and 
Southern  States. 

The  confectionery  manufacturers  of  St.  Louis  are  progressive,  alert  and 
maintain  a  pre-eminent  reputation  for  integrity  and  fairness,  and  their 
business  constitutes  a  very  important  element  in  the  city's  manufacturing 
industry,  and  aggregates  between  tliree  and  four  million  dollars  per 
annum  or  about  60,000,000  pounds  per  year.

DRIED  FRUIT. 


Bt  HonfAxnr  Bbothxbs  Pboduob  Go. 


Ab  a  dried  tndt  market  St.  Louis  1b  of  considerable  importance,  being 
the  recelying  and  distribntlng  center  for  tlie  products  of  the  surrounding 
states.  Missouri  and  Illinois  are  gaining  fast  in  fruit  producing  capacity; 
northwest  Arkansas  is  also  getting  to  be  a  great  fruit  section.  Apples  are 
the  principal  fruit  raised^  and  this  part  of  the  country  is  particularly  well 
adapted  for  this  the  most  staple  of  all  fruits.  The  writer  considers  that 
the  apple  is  entitled  to  this  rank  in  the  fruit  line  because  it  is  used  more 
extensively  than  any  other,  this  is  undoubtedly  due  to  its  good  keeping 
qualities  in  the  fresh  state,  and  dried  or  evaporated  it  keeps  longer  than 
any  other  fruit  Apples  on  that  account  are  extensively  exported  in  large 
qoantities  green,  evaporated  and  sun  dried. 

St.  Louis  is  also  a  great  market  for  California  dried  fruits  of  all  kinds. 
Pnmes,  peaches,  apricots^  pears  and  raisins  are  handled  by  our  dealers  in 
large  quantities.

224  TBU>E  AND  OOmaiBOX  OF 

FRUIT  AND  PRODUCE. 

By  Masubt  O.  Bighmohi). 


St.  Louis  in  11X^1  not  only  maintained  lier  record  as  a  ffreat  distribatins 
oenteT;  bat  surpassed  the  fi;ood  record  made  in  1900  by  m>m  15%  to  ^%. 
Tlie  sections  tliat  look  to  m.  Louis  for  the  marketing  of  their  products  are 
not  confined  to  any  particular  locality,  but  take  in  the  entire  LouislaDa 
Purchase. 

Ilie  1901  crop  of  apples  for  the  United  States  was  ocmsidered  lirht;  hut 
being  scattered  and  a  few  in  most  of  the  apple  belts,  was  probab^  under 
estimated.  While  the  West  had  only  about  40%  of  a  crop,  it  proved  to  be 
the  center  of  attraction  for  the  laree  Eastern  buyers^  and  the  prices  paid 
rewarded  the  growers  very  handsomely.  The  receipts  for  St.  Louis, 
691^404  barrels,  does  not  include  the  local  crop,  which  was  moved  to 
market  by  wa«^ns,  and  can  oonservately  be  estimated  at  100,000  barrels. 

While  the  local  crop  of  potatoes  was  only  about  60%  of  that  of  1900',  our 
receipts  from  idl  sources  exceeded  those  of  1900  nearly  26%,  total 
receipts  for  1901  being  8,085,659  bushels.  These  figures  do  not  include  the 
wagon  receipts,  which  can  safely  be  estimated  at  600,000  bushels,  nor  do 
the  receipts  take  into  account  the  immense  movement  from  the  American 
Bottoms,  where  8,000  carloads  were  handled  by  our  St.  Louis  firms,  repre- 
senting 1,500,000  bushels.  Owing  to  the  shortage  in  the  crop,  values  were 
much  Detter  than  have  existed  for  several  years,  netting  the  growers  more 
money  than  their  previous  lar^e  crop.  The  importation  of  foreign 
potatoes  to  this  market  was  indulged  in  to  some  extent,  but  was  not  found 
to  be  profitable,  the  quality  not  being  as  good  as  those  grown  in  the 
northern  states. 

The  general  onion  crop  of  the  United  States  for  1901  was  below  the 
average ;  and  taking  into  consideration  that  our  local  crop  was  considered 
a  failure,  the  receipts  of  55,782  packages  and  280.000  bushels  should  be 
con^dered  as  a  good  showing.  Prices  have  ruled  high  throughout  the 
season. 

The  cabbage  crop  was  not  considered  as  large  as  usual ;  but  owinff  to 
the  fact  that  E&  Louis  manufactures  more  kraut  than  any  citv  in  the  Umon. 
the  receipts  of  cabbage  was  veiy  large,  figuring  up  from  all  sources  8,800 
cars.  The  South  ana  the  Southwest  look  to  St.  Ltouis  as  their  distributing 
market  when  their  crops  is  on,  and  when  exhausted  come  to  this  market 
for  their  supply  for  both  cabbage  and  kraut. 

The  melon  crop  was  cut  short  by  the  long  continued  drouth,  which 
accounts  for  the  receipts  being  under  those  of  past  favorable  seasons.  The 
receipts  for  1901  from  all  pomts  (including  cantaloupes)  were  3,240  cars. 
St.  Louis  is  the  largest  melon  market  in  the  united  States. 

St.  Louis  as  a  distributing  market  for  tomatoes  is  by  far  the  largest  in 
the  United  States.  The  immense  crops  which  are  grown  in  the  South  are 
mostly  all  forwarded  here  and  then  distributed  to  the  other  large  markets. 
While  but  a  few  years  ago  tomatoes  were  shipped  in  a  small  way,  now  it  is 
not  an  uncommon  tUng  to  see  solid  train  loads  coming  to  thu  market. 
Our  local  crop  in  1901  was  cut  short  by  the  continued  dry  weather;  conse- 
quently added  very  little  to  the  receipts. 

The  receipts  of  oranges  were  746,970  boxes,  coming^largely  from 
California;  the  receipts  includes  perhaps  50.000  boxes  from  jPlonda,  which 
is  the  most  received  from  there  since  their  disastrous  freeze. 

The  receipts  of  lemons  were  158,660  boxes.  There  were  1,002  cars  of 
bananas  received  in  1901. 

The  receipts  of  grapes  was  not  as  large  as  in  1900,  but  the  450  cars 
received  should  be  considered  as  a  good  showing.

REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  DIRECTORS. 


MERCHANTS'  EXCHANGE, 

St.  LouiS;  Mo.,  January  6th,  1903. 
To  the  Members  of  the  Merchants'  Exchange  of  St.  Louis : 

Gentlbmen — ^In  surrendering  the  trust  you  placed  in  their  hands  one 
year  ago,  your  Board  of  Directors  take  pleasure  in  being  able  to  state  that 
the  afiCairs  of  our  Association  are  in  excellent  condition;  that  the  year  just 
past  has  been  one  of  prosperity,  both  to  the  Exchange  as  a  body,  and  to 
the  indiTidual  members;  and  the  prospects  for  the  future  of  our  Associa- 
tion as  the  leading  commercial  organization  of  the  Mississippi  Valley,  are 
most  flattering. 

The  property  of  the  Exchange  has  been  kept  in  good  condition,  but  in 
another  year  the  building  should  be  painted,  inside  and  out,  the  Grand 
Hall  painted  and  decorated,  a  new  floor  laid,  the  elevator  facilities  im- 
proved, and,  at  the  same  time,  the  debt  on  the  property  reduced. 

At  a  meeting  held  on  the  9th  of  December  last,  after  a  careful  consider- 
ation of  the  needs  of  the  Exchange,  both  as  relates  to  the  business  of 
the  floor,  and  the  care  of  the  building,  your  Board  decided  that  it  would 
be  wise  to  make  all  needed  improvements  to  place  the  property  in  first-class 
condition  during  the  coming  year  in  preparation  for  the  World's  Fair, 
and  that  the  revenue  might  be  sufQcient  for  all  prospective  needs,  the 
Board  fixed  the  assessment  to  be  paid  by  each  member  for  the  coming 
year  at  thirty-seven  and  60-100  dollars,  and  increased  the  transfer  fee  to 
twenty  dollars  from  January  1st. 

The  building  is  well  rented,  every  room  being  occupied,  and  in  some 
instances  the  rent  has  been  advanced  considerably,  showing  an  increase 
over  preceeding  year  of  $5,315.88. 

The  Total  Revenue  from  Rentals  was $  48,989.08 

Transferred  from  Current  Account $  2,000.00 

From  other  sources  242.88  2,242.88 

Total $  61 ,231 .46 

Total  Expenditures  (including $17,600.00  on 
the  Bonded  Debt,  reducing  same  to 
$75,000.00) $  61,064.28 

Leaving  Balance  of $      167.18 

In  considering  the  rental  revenue,  it  must  be  remembered  that  the 
^Exchange  occupies  the  Grand  Hall  and  offices,  for  which  no  consideration 


10  TRADB  AMD  OOIOCKRCB  OF 

is  made  in  the  rental  as  ^yen.  In  estimating  tlie  comparison  of  revenue 
on  the  cost  of  the  property^  the  snm  of  $25,000.00  should  be  added  as  the 
rental  value  for  that  part  occupied  by  the  Association. 

The  current  income  and  expenditures  do  not  yary  very  much  from  year 
to  year.  Our  membership  is  now  fixed^  and  cannot,  under  the  new  rule, 
be  increased,  and  it  is  not  likely  that  it  will  be  decreased  by  forfeiture 
or  redemption.  The  roll  at  the  beginning  of  1902  showed  1832  members; 
one  certificate  of  a  member,  deceased  in  1901,  was  redeemed^  making  the 
present  number  1881. 

The  Total  Reoelpts  on  Current  Account  were $  58,218.09 

The  Expenditures  (including  $2,000.00  carried  to  Real 
Estate  Account)  were 49,194.42 

Leaying  a  Balance  on  hand  of $   4,028.87 

The  Bonded  Debt  is  being  reduced  year  by  year,  $75,000.00  remaining 
not  yet  due,  and  all  but  $8,000.00  of  the  Bonds  of  1908  h»ye  been  paid. 
When  the  indebtedness  is  entirely  paid,  the  revenue  of  the  property  will 
not  only  pay  all  expenses,  but  leave  a  surplus  to  be  utilized  in  current 
account. 

The  following  statement  shows  total  receipts  and  expenditures  for  the 
year,  both  for  current  and  real  estate  accounts : 

Current  Account  Receipts $  68,218.09 

Real  Estate  Account  Receipts 49,281.46 

Total $102,449JJ5 

Current  Account  Expenses 47,194.42 

Real  Estate  Account  Expenses 88,664.28 

Bonds  Paid 17,600.00 

Total $98,268.70 

Balance  on  hand  January  1st,  1908. .  4,190.86 

The  detailed  statement  of  receipts  and  expenditures  presented  by  the 
Secretary  and  Treasurer,  are  given  on  anotlter  page,  to  which  your  atten- 
tion is  invited. 

Your  Board  has  given  special  attention  to  the  revision  of  the  Rules  and 
Regulations  of  the  Exchange,  adapting  same  to  the  present  needs,  and 
defining  more  closely  the  rights  and  privileges  of  membership.  One  of 
the  new  rules  eliminated  the  initiation  fee,  so  that  hereafter  new  members 
can  be  received  only  by  the  transfer  of  an  existing  membership,  thereby 
limiting  the  membership  to  the  present  number — 1831.  All  the  amend- 
ments submitted  by  the  Board  of  Directors,  from  time  to  time,  have  met 
the  approval  of,  and  been  adopted,  by  vote  of  the  members. 

The  Department  of  Weights  has  been  in  successful  operation,  and  the 
benefit  accruing  from  the  supervision,  by  the  Merchants^  Exchange,  of  the 
weighing  of  grain  and  other  farm  products,  has  been  demonstrated. 
Supervisors  are  now  located  in  most  of  the  elevators,  warehouses  and  mills, 
and  their  certificates  are  accepted  by  the  transportation  companies,  as  well 

by  buyers  and  sellers,  as  the  correct  weights  of  the  property.    Arrange- 


mm  oiTT  OF  ST.  Lotns.  11 

iJoentB  liATe  alao  been  made  for  the  sapervliion  of  weighing  on  a  number  of 
priyate  dty  scales,  and  it  Is  believed  that  hereafter  there  will  be  little,  if 
any,  complaints  of  weights  from  this  market.  The  department  is  now 
nearly  s^-sastalning.  Prior  to  June  Ist^  a  supervisor  was  employed  to 
investigate  complaints,  look  after  scales  and  correct  any  existing  errors 
Chat  could  be  ascertained^  and  for  this  service  no  charge  was  made.  The 
expense  incurred  up  to  that  date  was  $682.00.  On  June  1st  the  Weighing 
Department  was  organized,  and  since  that  date,  a  charge  has  been  made 
lor  supervision.  The  Treasurer's  report  shows  that  the  expenditures  since 
June  1st  exceed  the  receipts  by  $1,826.07.  This  includes  December  expen- 
ses. The  December  revenue,  when  collected,  will,  in  a  large  measure,  make 
good  the  apparent  deficit.    The  total  deficit  for  the  year  is  $2,466.07. 

Another  important  measure  has  had  the  most  careful  consideration  of 
the  Board,  viz:  The  regulation  of  Elevators  whose  receipts  are  made 
regular  for  deliveries.  Section  10,  of  Rule  8,  makes  it  ^'  The  duty  of  the 
Board  to  classify  as  Begular,  such  public  elevators  and  warehouses  as 
make  application  therefor,  and  conform  to  the  rules  and  regulations  of  the 
Exchange,  and  the  reguladons  and  requirements  of  the  Board  of  Direc- 
tors;" and  also  requires  Begular  elevators  to  file  bonds  subject  to  the 
approval  of  the  Board. 

The  Board  has  adopted  and  promulgated  regulations  governing  Begular 
elevators  and  the  proprietors  of  Merchants'  Elevator  ^^A,"  Central  Ele- 
vator '^B,"  East  St.  Louis  Elevator,  Roger's  Elevator,  Advance  Elevator, 
Yenice  Elevator,  Burlington  Elevator,  Mississippi  Valley  (Farmers') 
Elevator  and  Union  Elevator,  have  filed  their  bonds  as  required  by  the 
rules,  and  said  elevators  have  been  classified  as  Regular  by  your  Board. 

The  Traffic  Bureau  has  continued  to  guard  carefully  the  transportation 
interests  of  the  city,  and  has  been  effective  in  correcting  some  discrimina- 
tion and  preventing  others.  The  Board  believes  the  Bureau  Is  a  valuable 
^junct  to  the  working  force  of  the  Exchange,  and  should  be  sustained  and 
enforced  by  co-operation  of  the  members. 

Your  Board  has  not  been  unmindful  pf  the  various  calls  made  upon  It 
lor  representation  at  meetings  and  conventions.  In  which  matters  of  Interest 
to  the  conmierce  of  the  city  have  been  considered,  and  has  been  ably  repre- 
sented by  delegates  at  the  following  gatherings :

The  Merchants^  Exchange  has  always  been  the  almoner  throogh  whom, 
the  benevolences  of  the  city  have  been  extended  in  great  calamities  that 
have  befallen  our  own  city  and  other  localities.  In  February  last  a  calamity 
fell  upon  our  city,  by  the  fire  on  Chestnut  street^  whereby  seven  brave 
members  of  the  Fire  Department  lost  their  lives.  The  Exchange  immedi- 
ately issued  a  call  for  help  for  the  stricken  families^  and  in  a  short  time  the 
sum  of  $26,014.86  was  raised  and  distributed  according  to  the  needs  of  each 
family.  • 

Again,  in  March,  a  call  for  help  came  from  Southwestern  Missoiui, 
where,  on  account  of  the  drouth  of  the  preceding  summer,  many  farmers 
were  left  without  food  for  their  families,  or  for  their  cattle,  and  without 
seed  to  put  in  their  crops.  A  committee  was  appointed,  and  seed  and  food 
to  the  value  of  $4,771.26  was  collected  and  shipped  to  those  needing  assist- 
ance, bringing  great  present  relief  and  giving  hope  for  the  future. 

A  number  of  members  of  the  Exchange,  respected  and  honored,  have 
passed  away  during  the  year;  among  them  one  of  your  most  highly 
esteemed  ex-Presidents,  Thomas  Richeson.  Your  Board  has,  in  each 
instance,  expressed  to  the  bereaved  families  their  sympathy  and  condo- 
lence. 

During  the  year  the  Exchange  has  had  great  pleasure  in  extending  its 
courtesies  to,  and  been  honored  with  the  presence  of.  Honorable  James 
Wilson,  Secretary  of  Agriculture ;  Samuel  L.  Clemens,  popularly  and  affec- 
tionately known  as  "Mark  Twain;'*  and  Ho  Yow,  Consul  General  of 
China  at  San  Francisco. 

Your  Board  desires  to  express  its  appreciation  for  the  valuable  assistance 

rendered  by  the  various  standing  committees,  and  the  special  committees 

appointed  during  the  year,  to  all  of  whom  it  tenders  thanks  for  their 
fidelity  to  the  duties  imposed  upon  them,  and  to  the  Secretary  and  his 
assistants,  and  the  employes  of  the  Exchange  for  the  faithful  and  efficient 
services  rendered  by  them  throughout  the  year. 

The  work  of  1902  is  closed,  and  whatever  measure  of  success  has 
attended  the  efforts  of  the  present  Board  has  been  due  to  concentrated, 
harmonious  action,  and  the  treatment  of  the  affairs  of  the  Exchange  from 
a  conmion-sense  business  standpoint.  Something  has  been  accomplished 
this  year  towards  the  betterment  of  the  Exchange,  but  much  remains  to  be 
done.  Your  body  is  the  most  important  factor  in  the  development  of  the 
commercial  life  of  St.  Louis,  and  the  influence  which  the  Exchange  is  to 
have  in  bending  the  energies  of  St.  Louis  towards  what  is  best  and  right, 
depends  entire^  on  the  members  themselves,  and  with  how  much  energy 
and  harmony  they  express  the  judgment  of  the  Exchange.  Your  Board 
has  been  supported  in  every  movement  it  has  undertaken  by  practically  the 
unanimous  vote  of  the  members,  and  we  feel  sure  that  our  successors  in 
office  will  receive  that  same  loyal  support  in  any  movement  which  goes 
towards  the  upbuilding  of  the  Exchange,  and  thereby  of  necessity,  the 
upbuilding  of  St.  Louis.

DEPARTMENT  OF  WEIGHTS. 


St.  Louis,  Mo.,  December  a3nd,  1903. 
•  the  Board  of  Directors  ol  the  Merchants'  Escbange: 

Under  authorily  of  fonr  honorable  body,  as  per  resolution  adopted 
iril  17th.  1903,  the  Weighing  Committee  Inaugurated  a  plan  for  weighing 
un  in  public  elevators,  mills  and  warehousei,  which  1:>ecaine  effective 
me  Ist.  Deputy  Superrlsora  have  been  and  are  now  supervising  the 
sighing  of  ail  grain  in  all  public  elevators,  and  in  nearly  alt  the  mills  and 
ivMe  elevators  and  warehouses  In  8t.  Louis,  Mo,  On  June  2nd,  Deputy 
ip«rvlsor8  were  placed  in  all  the  public  elevators,  and  three  of  the  private 
^vators,  in  Bast  St.  Louis,  HI.  Since  which  time  the  Illinois  Railroad  and 
irehouae  Commlssiouers  have  assumed  authority  under  the  taws  of  the 
lie  of  Illinois,  and  now  control  the  weighing  in  all  the  public  elevators 
d  one  private  elevator;  leaving  the  Merchants'  Exchange  Department  of 
eights  in  control  Of  three  private  elevators  and  one  mill  on  the  East  side. 

In  addition  to  the  above  your  committee  has  within  the  past  month 
inmed  control,  and  now  has  Deputy  Supervisors  at  five  ol  the  most  im- 
irtant  wagon  scales  in  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  and  one  In  East  St,  Louis,  111.  The 
tter  protection  of  grain  in  railroad  yards  was  aiso  given  considerable 
tention  by  this  committee,  with  results  that  cars  are  now  resealed  after 
spectlon  and  sampling.  Watchmen  have  been  placed  In  different  yards 
lere  formerly  there  were  none,  and  the  general  watching  bas  been  given 
eclat  attention  by  al!  roads.    Now  the  protection  is  fairly  good. 

The  result  of  our  work  and  efforts  have  been  very  heneBclal  t^  the  grain 
»de  of  St.  Louis,  as  evidenced  by  the  strong  endorsements  of  the  shippers 

this  marlcet.  Letters  are  received  dally  by  commission  merchants  and 
aters  requesting,  and  in  some  histances  demanding,  that  their  grain  be 
sighed  only  tmder  the  supervision  of  our  department,  and  many  buyers 

grain  are  requesting  Merchants'  Excliange  cerUflcates  for  grain  bought 

8t.  Louia. 

The  odium  of  bad  weights  Is  being  rapidly  overcome,  and  the  much 
sired  conHdence  of  the  country  shipper  is  bclug,  and  in  many  instances 

completely  restored. 

Your  committee  has  met  with  many  obstacles,  the  most  of  which  have 
en  overcome,  and  the  department  being  now  on  a  practically  self-sostain- 
f  basis,  we  recommend  that  it  be  oondnued  and  encouraged. 

Since  the  inauguration  of  the  Weighing  Department  the  following  cars 
ive  been  supervised :

FOBEIGN  BILLS-OF-LADING. 

February  11th.  The  following  re];K>rt  of  the  Legislative  Committee 
was  adopted: 

"The  Legislatiye  Ck>mmittee,  to  whom  was  referred  the  communl- 
cation  of  the  Merchants'  Exchange  of  Memphis,  Tenn.,  enclosing  Senate 
Bill  No.  1791,  introduced  December  16th,  1901,  by  Mr.  Nelson,  being  a 
bill  relating  to  the  transportation  of  merchandise  between  the  United 
States  and  foreign  ports,  etc.,  would  respectfully  report  that  after  an 
examination  of  the  whole  matter,  the  committee  find  that  it  has  been, 
the  custom  for  vessels  plying  between  the  United  States  and  lyuropean 
ports  to  charge  and  collect  various  sums  in  addition  to  the  contract 
rate  of  freight,  <to  cover  cost  of  unloading  cargoes  at  the  point  of  desti- 
nation, even  though  such  act  is  in  contravention  of  the  laws  of  some  of 
the  countries. 

"Your  committee  believes  that  this  is  an  unjust  charge  against  the 
shipper,  and  that  the  cost  of  delivering  the  property  on  dock  where 
it  can  be  received  and  hauled  away  by  the  consignees,  is  the  duty  of  the 
carrier. 

Senate  Bill  No.  1791  referred  to,  makes  it  unlawful  for  the  carrier 
to  insert  in  any  biU-of-lading,  any  clause  or  agreement  by  which  it  shall 
be  at  liberty  to  impose  on  the  propenty,  any  unloading  or  other  charges 
additional  to  the  rate  of  freight  inserted  in  the  biH-of-lading. 

"Your  committee,  therefore,  recommend  that  the  Board  of  Directors 
endorse  said  bill  and  request  the  Senators  from  Missouri  and  Repre- 
sentatives from  St.  Louis  to  further  its  passage." 

BANKRUPTCY  LAW. 

February  11th.  The  following  report  of  the  Legislative  Committee 
was  adopted: 

"The  Legislative  Committee,  to  whom  was  referred  by  the  President 
a  communication  of  the  St  Louis  Credit  Men's  Association,  asking  the 
endorsement  of  the  Exchange  to  H.  R.  No.  4310,  introduced  by  Mr.  Bay. 
being  a  bill  to  amend  the  Bankrupt  Act,  would  respectfully  report: 

"That  they  have  conferred  with  the  attorney  of  the  Exchange  and 
given  the  matter  full  consideration,  and  are  of  the  opinion  that  the 
Merchants'  Exchange  should  endorse  said  bill,  and  that  the  President 
and  Secretary  should  request  the  Senators  from  Missouri,  and  the  Rep- 
resentatives from  St.  Louis  to  favor  the  passage  of  the  same.

NEW  POST  OFFICB  BmLDINQ, 

February  18th  The  following  report  of  tbe  Legislative  Committee 
was  adopted: 

The  LeglslsUve  Oommlbtee  and  the  Committee  on  Postal  Affairs,  to 

whom  was  referred  the  communication  of  Hon.  Bichard  Bartholdt  in 

reference  to  the  erection  of  a  new  Post  Office  btUlding  in  St.  Louis, 

would  respectfully  report  that  at  a  meeting  of  tbe  Joint  committees,  tbe 

following  resolntlous  were  unanimously  adopted: 

"Besolved.  That  we  heartily  approve  of  the  bill  Introduced  in  Con- 
gress by  Hon.  Blcbard  Bartholdt  of  Missouri,  to  provide  for  tbe  erection 
ot  an  additional  public  building  in  St.  Louis  for  postal  purposes  ex- 
clusively, which  will  give  quicker  delivery  and  easier  distribution  of 


18  TBADS  AND  OOMMBROS  Of 

the  mall.  The  Increase  of  the  business  Justlfles  the  additional  building, 
and  it  Is  absolutely  necessary.  For  the  past  eighteen  years,  notwith- 
standing the  large  Increase  of  business,  the  space  of  the  post  ofQce  has 
remained  the  same. 

"Besolved,  That  we  recommend  that  the  Board  of  Directors  adopt 
a  resolution  endorsing  an  additional  postal  building  In  St  Louis,  and 
send  a  copy  to  each  Senator  and  member  of  Congress  from  Missouri, 
requesting  fthem  to  vote  for  said  additional  public  postal  building.'* 

Postmaster  BaumhofP  was  present  at  the  meeting  and  brought  to 
the  attention  of  the  Joint  commiittees  the  necessity  of  a  fast  mall  train 
from  St  Louis  to  the  Southwest,  and  the  following  resolution  was  unanl- 
mously  adopted: 

"Resolved,  That  we  are  informed  that  the  Frisco  System  is  about 
to  put  on  a  fast  mail  train  from  St  Louis  to  the  Southwest,  and  we 
heartily  recommend  that  every  encouragement  be  given  the  Frisco  road 
for  the  establishment  of  this  fast  mall  train.  St.  Louis  would  be  great- 
ly benefited  by  being  brought  into  closer  relations  with  that  region, 
giving  our  newspapers  a  chance  to  get  before  the  public,  and  our  mer- 
chants to  sell  more  goods  to  them  in  conseauence  thereof. 

"Therefore,  we  recommend  that  the  Board  of  Directors  write  to  the 
Assistant  Postmaster  General,  urging  him  to  assist  the  Frisco  railroad  in 
making  a  contract  with  the  Government"

odd  to  the  business  of  the  general  public.  It  would  be  a  paying  pas- 
senger tralu  for  the  railway.  Both  the  wholesale  and  retail  trade  woyld 
be  aagmeuted. 

"We  ta&e  this  occasion  to  again  renew  our  recommendation  for  a 
fast  mail  train  on  the  Frisco  railroad  to  the  Sonthwest,  and  to  urge  our 
Semators  and  members  of  Congress  to  impress  upon  the  Second  As- 
sistant Postmaster  General  the  absolute  necessity  for  said  fast  train, 
and  secure  his  order  for  same.  St  Louis  lacks  and  is  sadly  In  need 
of  fast  mail  trains,  morning  and  evening  trains;  and  In  comparison 
with  other  dtlee  has  not  bad  her  share.  We  unhesitatingly  say,  and 
we  believe,  we  can  only  get  them  by  hard  and  constant  worK. 


March  21st.     Hereafter,  on  the  death  of  a  member  of  the  Exchange, 

the  President  will  announce  the  same  to  the  Board  of  Directors,  and 

a  page  of  the  records  will  be  devoted  to  hla  memory,  noting  the  date  of 

his  decease,  and  the  date  and  number  of  his  certificate  of  membership.

Besolved,  That  we  reiterate  onr  demaiid  for  the  prompt  reorgaulEa- 
tJoa  of  tlie  Conanlar  Service  od  a  geaulne  busloesa  basis,  by  making 
personal  gnallQcationa  the  only  basis  of  appointment,  by  the  aboIlUon 
ot  tlie  pemldons  fee  STStem,  and  the  readjustment  of  salaries  In  sccofd- 
ance  with  existing  conditions,  and  by  providing  for  a  more  secure  tenure 
of  office. 

BANKRUPTCY  LAW, 

Bes<^ved,  That  we  again  urge  the  necessity  of  amending  t^e  Bank- 
ruptcy Law  along  the  lines  embodied  in  what  Is  known  as  the  Ray 
BlU. 

WATER  WATS. 

Reaolred,  That  we  fully  appreciate  and  heartily  endorse  the  ac- 
tion of  Congress  in  making  liberal  appropriations  for  the  continuous 
improvement  of  the  Mlsslsalppi  river  below  St  Loots,  for  the  deepening 
of  tlie  Sonth.west  Pass,  and  fH>r  preliminary  survej^  for  a  deep  water- 
way betweoi  the  Great  Lakes  and  the  Mississippi  river  via  the  Chicago 
sanitary  canal  aad  the  Des  Plaines  and  Illinois  rivers,  and  we  recotu- 
mend  that  such  continuous  a^iroprlationa  be  made  as  may  be  necessary 
to  secure  a  minimum  depth  of  at  least  six  feet  throughout  the  full 
loigth  of  the  navigable  portion  of  the  Upper  Mississippi  river  In  order 
that  the  fuU  benefit  of  water  transportation  through  the  entire  Uiss- 
Is^ppi  valley,  may  be  secured. 

FINANCE. 

Resolved,  That  Congress  be  urged  to  pass  a  law  authorizing  the 
Isstie  ot  one  hundred  mllltons  or  more  of  dollars  ot  emergency  currency 
notes,  solely  for  use  during  time  of  financial  panic;  such  notes  to  be 
printed  and  prepared  r<»  use  by  the  United  States  Treasury  Depart- 
ment, countersigned  by  the  Treasurer  and  registered  by  the  Register. 
Tbey  shell  be  delivered  to  such  Clearing  Houses  of  the  country  as  are 
acting  under  charters  from  the  United  Slates,  such  charters  to  be  pro- 
vided for  by  law  of  Congress.  They  shall  be  delivered  to  such  Clear- 
ing Houses  In  ench  proportions  ot  the  whole  Issue  as  the  capital  and 
sorplns  of  the  banks  constituting  such  Clearing  Houses  in  the  various 
places  warrunt.  In  all  cases  such  banking  capital  shall  represent  a 
sum  sufficient  to  guarantee  a  prompt  redemption  ot  said  nortes.  The 
law  to  be  made  by  Congress  for  chartering  these  Clearing  Houses  shall 
empower  them  to  receive  and  loon  this  money  to  the  various  banks 
connected  with  them,  on  such  securities  as  may  be  authorized  by  the 
act  providing  tor  their  Isane;  not,  however,  to  exceed  la  amount  over 
tbree-tonrtbs  of  the  cash  value  of  such  securities.  The  act  shall  pro- 
vide tor  the  prompt  redemption  ot  such  currency  at  New  York  or  Wash- 
ington and  its  final  liquidation;  said  notes  shall  be  signed  by  the  Presi- 
dent and  Manager  of  each  Clearing  House. 


22  TRADB  AND  OOMMEROB  OF 

A  rate  of  interest  shall  be  charged  to  the  banks  borrowing  the  notes 
of  each  Clearing  House,  which  will  insure  the  retiring  of  same  as  soon 
as  the  emergency  ceases.  The  amount  received  for  interest  shall  be 
disposed  of  as  Congress  may  see  proper  in  the  bill. 

All  expenses  of  the  issue  shall  be  made  and  paid  but  of  the  interest 
to  be  charged  for  the  same,  with  such  taxes  as  is  thought  proper  for 
the  benefit  of  the  United  States  Treasury.  The  issue  of  these  notes 
shall  be  made  when  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  deems  the  emergency 
requires  it  to  save  the  business  of  the  country  from  very  serious  em- 
barrassment 

Resolved,  That  Congress  be  urged  to  take  such  action  as  will  give 
the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  discretionary  power  to  refuse  requests 
for  silver  shipments  at  the  Government  expense  from  any  corporation 
or  persons  that  may  be,  in  his  Judgment,  violating  the  intent  of  the  pro-

LANDS  IN  THE  INDIAN  TERRITORY. 

The  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Merchants'  Exchange  of  St  Louis

calling  upon  ithe  Congress  of  the  United  States  to  remove  all  restrictions 
upon  the  rights  of  alienation  (except  homesteads)  of  aU  lands  in  the 
Indian  Territory,  believing  that  the  development  of  this  important 
part  of  our  country  will  be  greatly  facilitated  by  such  legislation,  and 
therefore  earnestly  request  the  Honorable  Senators  and  Representatives 
from  Missouri  to  favor  such  changes  in  the  laws  as  will  give  the  relief 
desired  and  so  much  needed.

TBI  OITY  OF  8T.  LOTHS. 


REPORT  OF  ST.  LOUIS  TRAFFIC  BUREAU. 


B;  E.  S.  THOMPKnra,  OommlBllon«r. 

To  secure  tbe  tall  boiefit  from  the  natrmil  advantages  of  lo<:at]<tii 
poeeessed  tj  St.  LoaLs,  It  ia  necessary  to  see  that  competing  markets  do 
not  secnre  nndne  sdyantage  In  tbe  general  adjustment  of  rates,  end 
that  nnjnst  discrlmlnstloiis  In  rates  are  brought  to  the  attention  of  rail- 
road offlclBls  for  correction. 

The  linea  leading  from  St.  Lonla  are  divided  Into  a.  number  of 
gronps,  according  to  the  territorr  which  thejr  reach,  and  these  different 
groups  or  associations  aie  governed,  so  tar  as  their  rates  are  concerned,  - 
br  dllterent  rules  and  classifications,  as  well  as  In  the  method  of  con- 
structing their  rates.  A  caiefol  snpervlsloD  has  been  kept  Of  the 
changes  made  br  these  different  associations,  and  requests  hare  been 
made  for  necessarr  cbangea  In  the  St.  Louis  rates.  Manjr  changes  In 
rates  on  merchandise,  grain  and  other  commoditleB  were  secured,  which 
bare  beeu  shown  in  our  circulars  for  the  Informstlon  of  members. 

Comparatlre  rates  on  merchandise  and  commodities  have  been 
issued,  showing  rates  to  and  from  St  Louis  with  the  rates  to  and  from 
competing  markets,  and  the  qnotlng  and  compiling  of  freight  rates  for 
Individual  members  has  called  Cor  a  large  amount  of  work,  and  we  be- 
lieve that  this  work  has  materlallr  assisted  oar  members  to  Increase 
thtir  trade  to  the  best  advantage. 

Members  have  been  advised  In  many  cases  of  pr<^K>sed  changes  In 
classification,  so  that  they  could  favor  or  oppose  their  adoption  as  best 
suited  their  Interests. 

Early  In  the  year  a  meeting  was  held  with  the  reivesentatlves  of 
the  Afferent  railroads  and  terminal  companies,  to  consider  the  necessary 
Improvements  needed  In  our  terminals  to  take  care  of  the  Increased 
business  ot  this  gateway.  We  believe  that  the  ^orts  of  the  officials 
of  the  railroads  and  terminal  properUes  since  that  time  have  brought 
about  Improvements  which  hare  materially  Improved  the  conditions  In 
tbia  city,  and  at  the  present  time  we  are  in  better  shape  than  any  oth^ 
targe  terminal  in  this  country. 

We  have  been  represented  at  many  important  meetings  ot  the 
railroads  and  also  at  bearings  held  by  the  State  and  National  Oom- 
mlsslons. 

Our  merchants  and  manufacturers  recognise  that  any  concesdon 
in  rates  for  St.  Louts  as  a  whole  proves  bMieadal  to  every  business  man 
in  the  city,  and  that  good  results  are  secured  from  organized  eftort  to 
foster  snd  increase  the  trade  and  commerce  of  our  city.

THE  WORLD'S  FAIR  OF  1904  AT  ST.  LOUIS. 


WHEREIN  IT  WILL  DIFFER  FROM  AND  SURPASS 

ALL  OTHER  EXPOSITIONS. 


By  WAiiTER  B.  SraysNS,  Secretary  Louisluia  Purchase  Exposition. 


The  greatness  of  the  World's  Fair  is  casting  Its  shadows  before. 
On  the  lower  plateau  of  Foresrt  Park  four  of  the  eight  exhibition  palaces 
are  nearing  completion.  The  remaining  four  are  rapidly  taking  form 
and  shape.  Upon  the  upper  plateau  the  $1,000,000  Art  Building  of  steel 
and  stone  is  rising  from  its  foundations.  Across  Skinker  Road  four  of 
the  Washington  University  buildings  are  filled  with  (the  Exposition 
official  forces.  Six  other  University  buildings  are  beln^  pushed  to  finish 
for  occupation.  The  site  for  Agricultural  Hall,  largest  of  the  exhibit 
buildings,  is  ready;  as  also  is  that  for  Horticultural  Hall,  adjacent. 

At  this  mid-winter  writing  the  day  of  formal  opening  Is  sixteen 
months  away.  Yet  the  work  of  construction  is  being  pushed  at  a  cost 
of  over  a  half  a  million  dollars  a  month.  Dedication  day,  the  30th  of 
April,  1903,  the  Centennial  Anniversary  of  the  signing  of  the  Treaty  of 
Purchase,  wiU  find  the  physical  approaching  the  finishing  stages.  Some 
of  the  great  structures  will  be  in  readiness  for  the  uses  they  are  to 
serve.  All  of  them  will  be  so  near  completion  that  plans  for  installa- 
tion of  exhibits  can  be  made  definitely.  Grounds  and  buildings  for  the 
World's  Fair  of  1904  will  be  farther  advanced  at  the  dedleatlon  in  1903 
than  has  been  the  case  with  similar  undertakings  six  months  before 
the  opening. 

Such  is  the  present  c<Hidition  that  those  who  see  fdr  the  first  time 
the  site  and  growing  construction  express  amazement  at  the  materializ- 
ing plans.  From  Art  Hill  the  visitor  who  has  known  only  what  he  has 
read,  looks  upon  a  scene  which  in  grandeur  of  conception  and  in  magni- 
tude of  accomplishment  prompts  him  to  wonder.  This  is  of  daily  ex- 
perience. 

The  World's  Fair  has  passed  through  the  problematical  period. 
Questions  of  finance,  of  site,  of  plans,  of  construction  are  "water  which 
has  passed  over  the  dam."  Matters  of  detail,  and  not  itoo  many  of 
them,  only  remain  for  execution.  Well  assured  in  character  and  num- 
ber are  the  exhibits  which  will  fill  these  great  palaces,  in  which  linear 
distance  Is  measured  by  miles,  square  space  by  acres.     It  Is  no  ionger 


THE  dlTT  OF  ST.  LOITIS.  29 

a  qneetloii  of  filling  the  (two  bondr ed  and  more  acres  under  roof,  bat 
of  Beleotlng  the  best  from  the  excess  of  applications.  The  Division  of 
Bxbibits  has  come  out  victorious  with  its  policy.  This  is  to  be  the 
most  perfect  of  World's  Fairs.  Scieivtiflc  classification  is  to  rule-not 
geographical  interest  or  local  pride.  States  and  Territories  will  provide 
buildings  for  the  comfort  and  convenience  of  their  people,  not  for  the 
conglomerate  housing  of  their  products,  raw  and  manufactured.  So, 
too,  nations  will  place  their  exhibits  where  they  belong  in  the  palaces, 
side  by  side,  in  groups  and  classes  with  the  exhibits  of  the  whole  world. 
When  the  visitor  has  seen  the  exhibits  in  the  group  space  allotted  he  will 
have  seen  all  there  is  of  that  group  represented  at  <the  Fair.  This 
result  may  be  called  in  a  sense  a  surr^der  of  locality  to  the  science  of 
classification.  It  is  the  evolution  of  the  W<Hrld's  Fair  in  the  highest 
sense.  It  was  not  brought  about  without  more  than  one  struggle  be- 
tween the  Exposition  management  and  local  influences.  Here  and  there 
a  State  or  section  was  not  ready  to  admit  without  argument  that  classi- 
fictttlon  should  prevail  as  against  geographical  consideration.  At  the 
Chicago  World's  Fair,  it  will  be  remembered,  several  States  insisted 
upon  having  in  their  buildings  a  heterogeneous  collection  of  exhibits. 
At  St  Louis  the  oompetition  wiU  be  by  class  and  group,  and  the  award 
of  the  juiy  will  possess  a  value  and  a  disUnotion  which  it  could  not 
obtain  with  exhibits  of  the  same  kind  scattered  in  many  places. 

Ttie  plan  and  scope  of  this  World's  Fair  dedared  in  the  very  begin- 
ning for  processes.  The  purpose  to  insist  upon  operating  exhibits  was 
proclaimed.  The  fruition  is  assured.  The  wheels  will  go  round  in 
greater  numbw  and  in  more  ways  than  at  any  previous  World's  Fair. 
There  will  be  operation  and  manuCactuce  instead  of  endless  array  of 
things  made.  ESxhibitors  have  taken  kindly  to  the  opportunity  to  show 
how  products  are  produced.  The  live  exhibits  will  be  everywhere. 
They  will  require  more  space  and  more  people  than  the  still  Installation. 
They  will  give  to  this  World's  Fair  above  all  its  predecessors,  educa- 
tional value.  Some  of  the  most  intricate  and  interesting  mechanical 
processes  will  be  shown.  So  far  has  this  Idea  of  actual  operation  been 
carried  that  many  of  the  utilities  of  the  World's  Fair  will  be  established 
as  exhibtts  and  thus  entered  for  the  consideration  of  the  Jury  of  award. 
Portions  of  the  power  plant,  pumps,  lighting  devices,  fire-fighting  in- 
ventions, lamps,  sanitary  appliances,  cranes,  road-making  machinery  and 
a  hundred  other  things  of  use  in  the  maintenance  of  the  World's  Fair 
will  be  contributions  from  the  makers  to  show  by  actual  accomplish- 
ment their  merits. 

Farticipati<m  by  the  world  In  this  World's  Fair  is  determined. 
Acceptances  by  the  leading  nations  and  by  many  colonies,  more  than 
thirty  in  an,  have  been  received.  These  have  been  followed  by  visits 
of  foreign  commissioners  to  select  sites  for  buildings,  to  file  formally

their  requests  for  exhibit  space  and  to  familiarize  themselves  with  the 
pSans  and  policies  of  the  Exposition.  The  unanimity  of  action  upon  the 
Western  Hemisphere  is  particularly  gratifying  and  impressive.  From 
the  British  Dominion  to  the  Argentine  Republic  the  responses  have 
come  jyromptly  and  heartily  until  the  presence  of  every  nation  Is  prom- 
ised. Of  similar  character  has  been  the  action  by  the  Orient  The 
leading  nations  of  Europe  have  entered  energetically  upon  their  prepara- 
tions to  build  and  to  exhibit 

A  Chicago  editor  came  to  commend  mildly  and  returned  to  proclaim 
in  his  nev7spaper  '*the  national  surprise  in  store  at  St  Louis."  This 
Louisiana  Purchase  Exx)Osition  in  its  formative  stages  amazes  for  its 
unlikeness  to  all  predecessors.  The  two  plateaus  with  the  roHing  slope 
of  one  hundred  feet  descent  between  them,  present  exposition  topo- 
graphy which  is  novel  to  begin  with.  When  was  there  a  World's  Fair 
built  with  this  marked  difference  in  elevations?  The  Commission  of 
Architects  grasped  the  opportunity  in  the  conception  of  their  plans.  It 
|i  is  apparent  now  that  one  great  charm  is  to  be  found  in  the  view  down- 

pi  ward  upon  the  exhibit  palaces,  the  lagoons  and  plazas,  while  another 

H  equal,  if  not  even  stronger  impression  in  lingering  Effect,  wHl  be  made 

by  the  upward  view  embracing  the  terraces,  the  cascades,  the  colon- 
nades, the  domes  and  towers  in  a  wealth  of  emeraUd  setting  supplied  by 
lawn  and  forest  The  range  of  hills,  amphitheatre-like,  curving  and 
jutting,  from  west  to  east,  across  the  site,  has  afforded  conditions 
which  the  makers  have  utilized  to  produce  a  World's  Fair  picture  with- 
out  counterpart.  This  good  fortune  of  the  site  in  its  original  topo- 
graphy impresses  more  and  more  as  the  uses  of  the  slope  and  the  rela- 
tions of  construction  on  the  two  plateaus  are  made  plain. 

No  other  World's  Fair  has  enjoyed  the  opportunities  the  Louisiana 
Purchase  Exposition  will  have  to  impress  its  magnitude  and  distin- 
guishing characteristics  before  the  formal  opening.  For  several  months 
of  1903  this  World's  Fair  will  have  place  in  the  public  eye  second  only 
to  that  it  will  possess  in  1904.  The  last  week  of  April,  1903,  will  bring 
to  St  Louis  to  dedicate  the  grounds  and  buildings  a  most  distinguished 
body  of  men.  The  ceremonies  occupying  three  days  and  celebrating 
the  centennial  of  the  signing  of  the  Louisiana  Purchase  treaty  as  well 
as  dedicating  the  location  of  the  Exposition  will  draw  to  the  city  150,000 
strangers.  These  visitors  will  carry  away  the  impression  of  profound 
and  pleasing  surprise  at  the  preparations  being  made  for  1904. 

In  June  of  1903  the  National  Saengerfest  will  be  celebrated  upon 
the  World's  Fair  grounds  with  a  promise  of  50,000  attendance. 

In  September  of  1903  will  be  assembled  in  St  Louis  the  first  inter- 
national press  congress  ever  held  on  this  hemisphere.  The  attendance 
of  500  newspaper  editors  and  writers  from  European  countries  is  made 
certain  by  the  action  of  the  last  congress  held  at  Berne,  Switzerland. 
From  Mexico,  Central  America,  South  America,  Cuba  and  Canada  news- 


THE  OITT  OF  ST.  LOUIS.  31 

paper  representatiyes  will  he  present.  All  organized  bodies  of  news- 
paper men  in  the  United  States  will  send  delegates.  The  initerest  al- 
ready manifested  in  this  Ck)ngress  marks  It  as  one  of  the  most  notable 
gatherings  of  the  year  190B. 

If  there  is  a  State,  Territory  or  possession  of  the  United  States 
which  wlU  not  be  represented  by  exhibits  at  this  World's  Fair,  such 
absence  cannot  be  forecasted  now.  On  the  contrary  the  indications 
point  to  participation  by  every  subdivision  of  this  country.  States  and 
Territories  have  responded  with  a  degree  of  promptness  and  on  a  scale 
not  shown  for  the  World's  Ck)lumbian  Exposition.  In  this  winter  of 
1903  more  than  twenty  Legislatures  are  sitting  and  legislation  for  the 
World's  Fair  is  in  progress  where  it  has  not  been  already  enacted.  The 
State  and  Territorial  expenditures  at  St.  Louis  will  be  fifty  per  cent, 
larger  than  they  were  at  Chicago. 

"Our  aim  will  be  to  make  it  fairly  representatlYe  of  the  work 
the  Government  is  doing  for  the  people."  So  admirably  expresses  the 
head  of  the  Board  of  Managers  the  purposes  of  the  display  which  the 
National  Government  wSll  make  at  the  World's  Fair.  Congress  has 
been  liberal  in  the  financial  support  Upon  the  Government  Building 
and  exhibits  will  be  expended  $1,500,000  with  the  wisdom  acquired  by 
much  Exposition  experience.  The  capital  of  the  nation  with  its  great 
official  machinery,  its  numberless  bureaus,  its  vast  museums,  its  varied 
fields  of  effort  to  benefit  the  people,  is  situated  nearly  one  thousand 
miles  from  the  center  of  population.  It  has  never  been  seen;  it  never 
will  be  seen  by  millions  of  people  who  will  visit  the  World's  Fair  at  St. 
Louis.  The  Exposition  offers  the  opportunity  to  make  accessible  the 
best  and  most  instructive  features  of  government  work  to  these  people 
for  a  x)eriod  of  seven  months.  The  expenditure  needs  no  argument 
of  Justification.  Government  funds  never  were  applied  more  directly  or 
with  greater  profit  to  the  benefirt  of  the  people  than  they  will  be  upon 
this  government  exhibit 

The  work  of  the  Post  Office  Department  in  the  actual  performance 
of  handling  the  mails  will  be  carried  on  in  full  view  of  visitors.  A 
railway  mail  car  with  one  side  of  plsate  glass  exposing  all  that  is  going 
on  inside  will  be  oimrated.  Every  method  of  mail  transportation  will 
be  shown. 

In  an  Immense  cage,  larger  tiian  any  in  Washington  or  in  Central 
Park,  New  York,  with  trees,  and  bushes  and  rocks  to  simulate  the  forest, 
will  be  thousands  of  birds  of  all  sizes  and  colors  of  plumage. 

In  the  geological  division,  among  other  strange  things,  will  be  a 
restoration  of  the  stegasaur,  one  of  the  largest  of  the  extinct  monsters 
,  of  this  continent,  beside  which  the  restored  mastodon  will  appear  small 

I  indeed. 

In  biology  rthere  wHl  be  the  model  of  a  whale  with  casts  of  ana- 
condas and  animals  of  extraordinary  size. 


32  TSABX  AXD  OOMICEBQK  OF 

The  afltiopbysteal  obaerratioii  will  show  Its  bolometer,  the  wonder- 
ful instniiiieBt  Invented  to  record  changes  of  temperature  so  slight  as  a 
millionth  of  a  degree.  The  collection  of  meteoiities  will  come  mider 
this  division. 

The  open  aJr  ezliibits  of  the  Departmittit  of  Agriculture  wJU  occupy 
ten  acres  of  ground.  They  will  show  grasses  and  grains,  seed  investi- 
gation, poisonous  plants,  hearing  vines.  The  experimental  work  of  the 
department  in  many  directions  will  be  carried  on  before  the  World's 
Fair  visitors. 

Indoors  the  chemical  laboratories  will  conduct  experiments  in  foods, 
in  sugar  and  in  water.  The  apparatus  and  instruments  of  the  weather 
bureau  wHl  be  tn  service. 

Out  of  doors  roads  will  be  made  and  tested  by  hauling  under  the 
direction  of  officers  of  the  government 

In  entomology,  in  forestry,  in  the  experimental  sta/tiofi  field,  in  the 
animal  industry  division,  in  other  branches  of  its  work  the  Department 
of  Agriculture  will  have  exhibits  far  more  elaborate  than  ever  before. 

The  spirit  of  life  and  motion,  of  actual  operation,  will  enter  into 
the  government  exhibits.  Thus  the  Treasury  Department  will  show 
the  presses  at  work  upon  paper  money  and  upon  coins. 

A  special  building  will  contain  the  exhibit  of  the  Fish  Commission. 
It  will  show  in  great  aquariums  the  largest  collection  of  fish  ever  made 
in  this  country,  if  not  in  the  world.  The  Oommission  has  recently 
added  to  the  collection  many  new  specimens  from  the  Philippines  and 
the  other  waters  of  the  Orient  Among  these  is  a  sea  monster  which 
is  called  the  electric  light  fi^,  having  a  sac  of  phosphorous  on  its  head 
which  gives  out  a  glow  like  a  headlight 

Chiefs  of  the  Exhibit  Departments  Bjse  vieing  with  each  other  to 
introduce  in  their  respective  buildhigs  the  greatest  number  and  extait 
of  living  exhibits.  In  Manufactures,  in  Liberal  Arts,  In  Machinery  and 
in  Electricity  there  will  be  motion  and  processes  everywhere.  It  was 
to  be  expected  that  in  'these  departments  exhibitors  might  be  induced 
to  take  the  new  departure  in  installation.  But  visitors  wiSl  be  sur- 
prised surely  at  the  extent  of  activity  which  will  prevail  in  some  of  the 
other  Departments.  In  Transportation  theie  will  be  provision  for  test 
in  speed  and  power  of  locomotives.  Automobiles  will  have  a  speedway. 
In  Mines  and  Metallurgy,  smelting  and  stamping  wiU  be  shown  in 
actual  operation.  Mining  machinery  will  be  in  operation  and  the  pro- 
cesses of  producing  from  the  ores  zinc  and  lead  especially  will  be  shown. 
Cold  storage  and  ice-making  will  be  illustrated  by  a  plant  in  operation 
with  a  capacity  of  over  1,000  tons  a  day.  The  garbage  of  the  entire 
Exposition  will  be  treated  by  a  model  plant  which  will  be  conducted 
for  inspection  by  visitors.  And  in  this  connection  will  be  other  features 
of  model  city  making,  the  architectural  and  artistic,  the  latest  devices 
and  appliances  dear  to  the  advocate  of  civic  improvement 


THE  CITY  OP  ST.  LOUIS.  33 

The  very  highest  development  of  flre-flghttog  and  life-saving  skill 
v^ill  be  shown  by  a  picked  and  trained  company  of  pompiermen  and 
firemen.  Daily  exhibitions  will  be  given  in  answering  alarms,  in  climb- 
ing five-story  buildings  on  fire,  and  in  suppressing  the  flames.  In  edu- 
cation there  will  be  actual  instruction  of  classes  of  the  deaf  and  dumb 
and  the  blind.  A  printing  establishment  vrill  show  the  methods  of  pre- 
paring plates  and  getting  out  an  edition  of  a  magazine.  A  model 
theatre  will  be  equipped  with  all  the  latest  devices  and  the  operation  of 
them  will  be  shown.  Briquettes,  smokeless  and  efficient  as  hardcoal, 
wiU  be  manufactured  from  the  cheapest  of  soft  coal  and  coal  dust. 
There  will  be  almost  no  end  to  the  variety  of  manufacturing  which 
will  be  performed  in  the  presence  of  visitors. 

The  evolution  of  the  concession  will  distinguish  (the  Louisiana  Pur- 
chase Exposition.  From  the  status  of  the  sideshow,  tolerated  in  the 
past  on  a  percentage,  the  privileged  amusements  are  to  be  advanced  at 
St  liOUls  to  a  more  prominent  place.  Architectural  picture,  exhibits 
and  concessions  here  become  co-ordinate  attractions.  In  the  theory  of 
organization  the  Director  of  Concessions  takes  his  place  on  equal  foot- 
ing with  the  Director  of  Works  and  the  Director  of  Bxhibits.  The 
Gommiittee  on  Concessions  has  been  made  one  of  the  most  important  of 
the  subdivisions  of  the  Board  of  Directors. 

Never  before  have  the  possibQitles  of  the  concession  been  recognized 
and  encouraged  as  at  St.  Louis.  Fruits  of  this  policy  are  seen  in  the 
maturing  and  contemplated  expenditure  of  the  concessionaires.  The 
investment  will  be  in  the  millions  of  dollars,  several  times  greater  than 
at  any  former  universal  Bxposition.  From  more  than  2,500  applica- 
tions and  suggestions,  the  Director  of  Concessions  and  his  Committee 
have  made  their  selections  and  concluded  negotiations.  The  globe  lias 
been  searched  for  amusements  and  reproduction  of  life  of  other  coun- 
(tries,  the  presentation  of  which  will  add  to  the  interest  of  the  World's 
Fair. 

This  evolution  of  the  concessions  is  natural  and  legitimate.  Con- 
struction on  the  World's  Fair  grounds  will  present  the  architecture 
of  an  nations.  The  exhibit  palaces  will  show  by  classes  and  groups 
the  raw  products  and  the  processes  of  manufacture.  Why  should  not 
the  concession  satisfy  curiosity  and  interest  In  the  vocations,  the  recrea- 
tions, in  brief,  the  daily  life  of  the  peoples  of  the  earth?  And  that  they 
will  do  in  magnitude  and  in  variety  which  no  previous  Bxposition  has 
attempted.  The  highway  of  concessions  will  be  a  tour  of  the  world. 
Jerusalem  with  wall  and  gates  and  those  places  of  sacred  historic  in- 
terest  will  be  reproduced  and  populated  by  several  hundred  persons  of 
various  crafts  and  callings  brought  from  the  Holy  City  to  represent  its 
every-day  life  of  the  present  As  much  as  the  space  of  a  dozen  city 
blocks  will  be  embraced  in  fthis  reproduction.     The  topography  even 


34  TRADE  AND  OOMMEROE  OF 

Will  be  sheeted  to  conform  to  those  portions  of  Jerusalem  which  are  to 
be  copied.  Several  hundred  thousand  dollars  wiH  b^  expended  upon 
the  Jerusalem  concession  before  the  gates  of  the  World's  Fair  open. 

Another  ambitious  and  assured  featm-e  will  be  an  extensive  repro- 
duction of  a  famous  locality  of  Switzerland  where  Tyrolese  will  give  to 
the  scenery  the  animate  representations  of  life  among  the  Alps.  Here 
again  money  will  be  expended  upon  a  scale  not  dreamed  of  in  the  days 
of  the  Columbian  Midway.  A  street  from  Japan  will  be  constructed 
true  to  that  country  and  will  be  lined  with  shops  and  places  of  enter- 
tainment conducted  by  Japanese. 

China  for  the  first  time  in  her  history  will  participate  as  a  govern- 
ment, and  will  have  exhibits  under  the  auspices  of  an  Imperial  com- 
mission, occupying  many  thousand  square  feet  of  space  in  the  palaces. 
The  preparaition  of  these  exhibits  especially  in  the  form  of  curios  has 
been  going  on  for  months.  But  perhaps  of  more  interest  to  the  visitor 
will  be  the  Chinese  street,  upon  which  the  Chinese  people  will  have 
their  home  Industries,  their  theatre,  their  joss  house,  (their  shops  and 
their  restaurant.  From  Ceylon  will  come  the  swarthy  East  Indians  to 
serve  and  entertain  in  a  tea  garden  typical  of  (that  country. 

In  the  presentations  of  life  in  the  Orient  the  Filipinos  will  be  espe- 
cially strong.  They  will  occupy  a  reservation  as  large  as  that  of  an 
American  town  of  a  thousand  people.  They  will  come  from  a  dozen  dif- 
ferent itribes.  They  will  live  in  the  same  kind  of  homes  on  water,  on 
plain  and  in  tree  tops  thait  they  do  in  the  Philippines.  They  wfll  carry 
on  the  industries,  engage  in  the  recreations  and  live  the  lives  that  they 
do  in  the  archipelago.  Besides  the  settlement  of  Filipinos  will  be 
camped  a  battalion  of  the  native  soldiers  presenting  a  i^emi-daily  drill. 
A  Filipino  orchestra  of  one  hundred  players  will  illustrate  the  musical 
talent  of  the  islands. 

Africa,  Europe  and  South  America  will  have  streets  and  villages 
in  (the  group  of  concessions.  The  South  Seas  will  be  represented  in 
this  polyglot  city  of  the  world.  Mexico  will  send  a  troop  of  her  famous 
and  picturesque  mountain  cavalry,  the  Rurales,  as  well  as  a  full  military 
band.  These  communities,  reproducing  life  from  all  of  the  continents, 
will  number  several  thousand  people,  and  will  occupy  more  space  <£an 
was  given  to  the  emthre  Paris  Exposition  of  1900. 

Processes  instead  of  products  will  give  the  exhibits  in  the  palaces 
distinguishing  character  in  this  Exposition.  So,  too,  living  illustration 
will  enter  into  other  feaitures  of  the  Fair.  A  Company  of  Artillery  wfll 
camp  upon  the  groimd  to  man  the  seacoast  battery  and  to  handle  daily 
the  great  gun  weighing  115,000  pounds.  A  government  life-saving 
crew  from  the  coast  will  occupy  a  station  by  the  lake  and  give  daily 
exhibitions  of  the  uses  of  life-saving  appliances.  A  battalion  of  marines 
will  be  located  on  the  grounds  to  show  by  regular  drills  the  efficiency 
and  importance  of  a  branch  of  the  military  service  scarcely  known  to 


THB  CITY  OP  ST.  LOUIS.  36 

the  interior  of  the  United  States  until  the  late  war  with  Spain.  The 
Marine  Corps,  composed  of  a  few  men  and  almost  unknown,  is  now, 
with  the  rapid  growth  of  the  navy,  enlarged  to  an  army  of  several 
thousand  men  trained  for  sea  and  land  service.  The  sea  soldiers  will 
be  strongly  represented  at  the  World's  Fair. 

With  the  assurances  of  government  support  and  <the  incorporation 
of  the  Exposition  Company,  a  movement  was  inaugurated  early  in  1901 
to  insure  a  certain  basis  of  organized  attendance.  As  the  result  of 
this  steady  effort  of  many  months,  there  will  be  held  in  St  Louis  dur- 
ing the  World's  Fair  year,  140  national  and  international  conventions. 
It  seems  probable  that  ithis  number  will  be  increased  by  bodies  meet- 
ing in  1903  to  100  conventions  to  be  held  in  St  Louis  during  1904.  This 
does  not  take  into  account  the. series  of  International  Congresses  now 
being  arranged  as  a  department  of  the  World's  Fair  organization  to  be 
held  under  the  auspices  of  the  Exposition  management.  The  140  con- 
ventions are  bodies  which  meet  annually,  biennially,  or  quadrlenal- 
ly.  They  will  number  from  250  to  2,500  delegates  and  each  of  these 
conventions  will  bring  to  St.  Louis  from  500  to  5.000  people  with  the 
World's  Fair  incentive  added.  These  conventions  will  be  well  distri- 
buted through  the  period  of  the  Fair  from  April  to  December. 

International  Congresses,  apart  from  these  convenitions,  will  be  ar- 
ranged by  a  Director  of  Congresses  and  an  Advisory  Council  composed 
of  heads  of  great  educational  institutions.  Possibly  a  better  descrip- 
tion would  be  one  great  International  Congress  of  Arts  and  Sciences  with 
more  than  one  hundred  sections.  In  this  Congress  the  leaders  of  the 
World  of  Art  and  Science  are  to  be  brought  together,  adding  to  the 
material  and  to  the  amusing  features  an  exhibit  of  the  best  thought  of 
all  nations. 

The  proposed  flying  ship  tournament  with  its  capital  prize  of  $100,- 
000  has  prompted  such  extensive  preparation  that  a  contest  of  great 
interest  is  assured.  To  this  have  been  added  athletic  contests  to  be 
given  in  a  great  stadium;  an  international  contest  of  carrier  pigeons,  and 
an  international  horseshow. 

The  World's  Fair  of  1904  is  growing  beyond  all  anticipations.

38  TRADE  AKD  COMMERCE  OF 


REVIEW. 


St.  Louis^  the  commercial  capital  of  Missouri,  the  largest  and  most  im- 
portant city  in  the  Louisiana  Purchase,  has  shared  plentifully  in  the  general 
prosperity  of  the  past  year.  This  is  evidenced  by  increased  business  of  the 
Clearing  House,  a  larger  volume  of  tonnage  handled,  additional  rail  lines 
seeking  entrance,  enlarged  terminal  facilities,  a  decided  increase  in  the 
amount  of  mail  matter  handled,  an  extension  of  trade  territory  and  conse- 
quent larger  sales  by  jobbers  and  manufacturers,  larger  banking  capital 
and  surplus,  a  marked  increase  in  the  grain  trade,  and  by  the  general  satis- 
faction as  to  the  year's  business  and  the  bright  prospects  for  the  future. 

The  trade  territory  of  St.  Louis  now  extends  over  the  entire  country, 
some  lines  selling  goods  in  every  State  in  the  Union,  and  a  number  doing 
considerable  foreign  business. 

The  rapid  development  of  the  great  Southwest,  and  the  special  induce- 
ments offered  to  homeseekers  by  the  various  railroads  traversing  that  terri- 
tory, will  further  develop  the  commerce  of  St.  Louis  in  the  very  near 
future,  by  opening  up  a  trade  which  will  be  naturally  tributary  by  nearness 
of  location,  and  accessible  by  direct  rail  lines.  The  fact  that  there  are  no 
large  jobbinjg  houses  between  this  gateway  and  the  Southwest,  gives  to 
St.  Louis  and  her  sister  city  on  the  Kaw  special  advantages  for  controlling 
the  trade  of  this  vast,  and  as  yet,  undeveloped  territory.  That  our  mer- 
chants and  manufacturers  will  improve  this  opportunity  is  evidenced  by 
the  fact  that  already  the  trade  of  that  section  is  largely  controlled  by 
St.  Louis. 

The  increased  and  increasing  importance  of  St.  Louis  as  a  great  com- 
mercial center  is  also  emphasized  by  the  fact  that  during  the  last  year  one 
of  the  great  trunk  lines  of  the  West  has  secured  entrance  to  the  city,  and 
others  are  contemplating  extending  their  rails  to  St.  Louis  when  terminal 
facilities  can  be  obtained.  Established  roads  have  increased  their  mileage 
by  the  absorbtion  of  connecting  lines,  and  the  Terminal  Association  has 
entered  upon  a  most  extensive  addition  to  the  facilities  for  handling  both 
freight  and  passenger  business ;  the  present  terminals  being  entirely  inade- 
quate for  the  rapidly  increasing  traffic.  One  of  the  most  important  of  the 
TerminaPs  projected  improvements  is  the  erection  of  an  additional  shore 
pier  to  the  Eads  Bridge,  by  which  passenger  trains  may  be  diverted  to  the 
elevated  track  on  the  river  front,  and  thus  reach  the  Union  Station  without 
passing  through  the  tunnel.  On  another  page,  under  the  head  of  Trans- 
portation, will  be  found  a  review  in  detail  of  the  increase  in  rail  facilities 
during  the  year. 

The  bank  clearings  of  a  city  indicate,  perhaps,  more  forcibly  than  any 
other  statistics,  the  condition  of  trade.    During  the  past  year  the  clearings 


THE  CITY  OF  ST.  LOUTS.  39 

of  St.  Louis  banks  and  trust  companies  amounted  to  $2,506y804;320,  an  in- 
crease of  10  4-10%  oyer  1901,  and  the  largest  in  the  history  of  the  Clearing 
House.  Banking  capital  has  been  increased,  and  the  combined  capital  and 
surplus  of  the  banks  and  trust  companies  is  now  $87^267,173,  with  deposits 
amounting  to  $209,522,208. 

In  financial  circles  there  was  an  abundance  of  money  for  the  business  of 
the  community.  The  enormous  crops  required  vast  sums  to  move  them, 
and  the  money  was  at  hand  when  needed.  This  city  handled  considerable 
outside  paper,  and  important  sums  were  loaned  in  the  East.  A  number  of 
large  transactions  were  financed  exclusively  by  local  houses,  proving  that 
this  metropolis  can  bank  for  its  customers,  as  well  as  sell  them  goods. 
Among  the  important  transactions  of  this  character  was  the  handling  of  a 
ten  million  dollar  bond  issue  of  a  Mexican  railway,  the  organization  and 
re-organization  of  a  number  of  steam  and  street  railways,  electric  light 
and  power  companies,  and  the  financing  of  a  number  of  industrial  combi- 
nations. The  local  banks  and  trust  companies  have  become  financial 
powers  of  the  country.  During  the  year  there  were  two  consolidations  of 
financial  institutions,  and  three  new  banks  and  one  new  trust  company 
entered  the  field. 

The  statements  of  tonnage  received  and  handled  is  a  good  index  as  to 
the  volume  of  business.  Carefully  compiled  reports  from  the  various  rail 
and  water  lines  show  that  during  the  past  year  29,737,577  tons  of  freight 
were  received  and  forwarded  from  St.  Louis,  being  an  increase  over  1901  of 
978,913  tons. 

The  postoffice  returns  also  refiect  with  great  accuracy  the  business 
activity  of  a  city.  It  appears  that  during  the  past  twelve  months  the  cash 
receipts  of  the  St.  Louis  postoffice  were  $2,735,674,  as  against  $2,240,429  in 
1901,  while  the  total  number  of  pieces  of  mail  matter  originating  at  St.Louis 
increased  from  246,784,171  in  1901  to  282,321,446  in  1902. 

The  harvests  of  1902  .were  the  most  bountiful  ever  produced,  and  the 
State  of  Missouri  was  among  the  first  in  yield  per  acre.  St.  Louis  being  the 
natural  market  for  the  surplus  of  the  great  Western  States,  received  her  full 
share;  the  aggregate  receipts  of  cereals  being  70,437,072  bushels,  the  largest 
in  many  years.  If  to  the  grain  receipts  is  added  fiour,  in  its  equivalent  in 
wheat,  the  receipts  would  be  equal  to  80,416,654  bushels.  The  business  of 
the  year  was  profitable  and  eminently  satisfactory.  In  speculative  lines 
the  business  was  more  than  up  to  the  average,  and  was  steady  and  profitable. 
In  the  many  other  lines  of  business  transacted  on  the  fioor  of  the  Exchange, 
both  the  volume  of  business  and  results  were  gratifying,  so  that  it  can  be 
recorded  that  1902  was  a  prosperous  year  for  the  members  of  the  Mer- 
chants* Exchange. 

The  growth  of  St.  Louis  is  demonstrated  by  the  erection  during  the  past 
year  of  many  large  commodious  buildings  for  the  wholesale  trade,  notably 
in  the  Washington  avenue  district,  and  many  large  office  buildings.  The 
older  houses  have  moved  into  the  larger  and  more  modem  structures,  while 
the  vacated  premises  have  been  quickly  taken  by  new  houses.    The  same 


40  TRADE  AND  COMMERCE  OF 

condition  has  prevailed  in  the  resident  district.  The  increase  in  population 
has  created  a  demand  for  dwelling  houses  which  has  been  difficult  to  fllL 
Many  new  residences  of  modem  size^  as  well  as  others  of  superior  excel- 
lence; also  a  number  of  large  apartment  houses^  have  been  erected,  all  of 
which  have  readily  found  tenants. 

Large  sums  have  been  expended  in  remodeling  and  refitting  a  number  of 
down-town  hotels.  In  the  West  End  the  residence  hotels  find  use  for  all 
their  rooms^  and  a  numbef  of  new  hostelries  have  been  contracted  for  there 
and  in  the  center  of  the  city.  The  business  of  public  entertaining  is  well 
provided  for.  Many  new  buildings  are  arranged  for^  to  be  completed  in 
time  to  provide  entertainment  for  the  thousands  who  will  visit  the  city 
during  the  World's  Fair  in  1904. 

The  announcement  that  St.  Louis  will  hold  in  1904  the  Greatest  World's 
Fair  in  history,  has  drawn  the  attention  of  the  world  to  this  city,  and  the 
advertisement  thus  given  has  been  one  of  the  causes  of  increased  volume  of 
trade.  A  number  of  new  houses  in  various  lines  have  located  here,  and 
the  general  business  has  been  largely  augmented. 

Li  dry  goods  and  kindred  lines  St.  Louis  has  made  great  progress  in 
recent  years^  and  is  now  the  largest  distributor  in  this  line  in  the  West 
Notwithstanding  the  fact  that  the  years  1900  and  1901  witnessed  very  large 
gains  in  this  line,  the  business  of  1^2  shows  still  further  progress.  The 
capital  invested  in  dry  goods,  cloths,  notions,  silks,  furnishings  and  similar 
lines,  was  increased  largely,  while  the  amount  of  sales  are  estimated  to  have 
increased  10  to  15%,  making  the  total  volume  of  business  in  this  line  at 
least  $120,000,000.  All  the  dry  goods  houses  report  an  increase  in  skies; 
not  only  in  territory  heretofore  occupied,  but  in  new  fields  in  the  Central 
States  east  of  the  Mississippi  River,  and  in  the  far  away  States  in  the  North 
and  Northwest.  A  number  of  houses  are  now  manufacturing  many  articles, 
such  as  skirts,  neckwear,  suspenders  and  ready-made  garments,  and  the 
growth  of  this  department  is  more  rapid  and  noteworthy  than  any  other 
feature  of  the  business.  Prices  were  slightly  advanced  during  the  year  in 
cotton  products,  but  in  other  lines  were  practically  unchanged. 

Li  no  line  has  there  been  a  more  rapid  development  than  in  the  shoe 
trade.  St.  Louis  now  holds  first  place  as  a  jobber  of  shoes.  It  may  be  as- 
serted that  Boston  is  the  largest  shoe  market  in  the  world.  This  is  true  if 
in  the  Boston  business  is  included  the  output  of  New  England  manufac- 
turers, who  from  their  Boston  offices  make  sales  of  goods  that  are  shipped 
direct  from  the  factories  to  the  wholesale  dealers  throughout  the  country. 
But  if  the  business  of  the  Boston  shoe  houses,  as  jobbers  to  the  retail 
dealers  is  considered,  St.  Louis  easily  leads.  As  a  manufacturer  of  shoes^ 
St.  Louis  has  made  rapid  progress.  Fully  one-half  of  the  goods  sold  are 
the  output  of  St.  Louis  factories,  and  are  of  the  better  grades ;  the  cheaper 
lines  being  purchased  in  the  East.  This  city  is  also  the  largest  buyer  of 
Eastern-made  shoes.  During  the  past  year  all  the  large  shoe  houses  have 
Increased  their  manufacturing  facilities.  A  number  of  new  factories  have 
been  erected  and  sites  for  others  purchased.  On  another  page  will  be  found 
a  statement  giving  in  detail  the  statistics  of  the  business. 


THE  CITY  OP  ST.  LOUIS.  41 

In  the  line  of  hats^  caps  and  gloves  St.  Louis  has  retained  its  position  as 
the  largest  market  for  soft  hats  in  the  United  States.  The  yearns  business 
shows  an  increase  throughout  the  line  on  an  average  of  12^  % .  In  the 
glove  department,  however,  remarkable  progress  has  been  made,  and  sales 
have  increased  fully  40% .  The  increase  is  most  marked  in  the  gloves  made 
In  this  city,  which  are  principally  working  and  driving  gloves  and  riding 
gauntlets.  At  the  close  of  the  year,  orders  were  being  booked  for  next 
spring,  and  they  indicate  still  further  increase  in  this  business  for  the 
coming  year.  No  hats  or  caps  are  made  here,  and  the  supply  still  comes 
from  the  East.  The  local  jobbers  have  held  their  own  in  the  South  and 
Southwest,  and  made  their  principal  gains  in  the  Central  West.  The  gross 
volume  of  the  local  business  in  hats,  caps  and  gloves  was  in  the  neighbor- 
hood of  $5,000,000. 

In  wholesale  clothing  circles  sales  for  the  year  are  reported  to  have  been 
about  15%  greater  in  money  value  than  those  of  1901,  but  as  it  is  also  stated 
that  prices  were  higher  to  a  smaller  or  greater  degree,  the  actual  volume  of 
business  done  is  about  the  same  as  during  the  preceding  year.  Practically 
the  entire  output  of  the  city  is  manufactured  here.  House  stocks  are  lower 
than  at  any  time  within  the  experience  of  the  trade,  and  good  prices  and 
sales  are  expected  for  the  ensuing  year.  Important  gains  have  been  made 
in  the  sales  to  the  far  Northern  States. 

The  wholesale  millinery  trade  did  a  business  during  the  year  that  foots 
up  fully  $6,000,000.  This  is  about  12^%  higher  than  the  sales  of  the  year 
before.  Prices  were  unchanged.  The  most  important  gains  in  sales  were 
made  in  the  Southeastern  States,  Georgia  and  Florida  being  particularly 
prominent.  This  district  is  being  won  from  rival  markets  in  the  East 
despite  most  discouraging  freight  differences.  A  new  millinery  jobbing 
house  began  business  at  the  close  of  the  year.  St.  Louis  has  become  one 
of  the  greatest  millinery  markets  of  the  country. 

The  jobbing  silk  business  is  growing  rapidly  in  this  city.  In  spool  silk 
the  sales  for  1902  were  more  than  26%  greater  than  those  of  1901.  The 
business  of  the  past  year  almost  reached  $2,000,000  in  value.  The  local 
houses  are  all  agents  of  outside  concerns.  The  broad  silk  business  is  a  new 
industry  locally,  being  only  about  four  years  old ;  but  in  that  limited  time 
it  has  grown  to  the  dignity  of  one  of  the  recognized  silk  centers  of  the 
country.  The  sales  of  1902  were  one-third  larger  than  those  of  1901,  and 
twice  those  of  1900.  They  approximate  $5,000,000.  The  local  importations 
of  1902  were  three  times  as  great  as  those  of  any  previous  year.  The 
heavy  foreign  buying  of  St.  Louis  jobbers  has  brought  to  the  city  every 
advantage  possessed  by  New  York — ^the  American  silk  center  par  excel- 
lence. 

In  hardware  St.  Louis  still  maintains  its  striking  pre-eminence.  No 
other  city  in  the  world  does  one-half  the  business  handled  by  the  local 
jobbers  in  shelf  hardware.  Sales  reached  very  close  to  $35,000,000,  and 
were  fully  20%  above  those  of  1901.  The  year  was  notable  for  the  large 
number  of  new  stocks  sold  to  all  parts  of  the  country  by  St.  Louis  houses. 


42  TRADE  AND  OOMMEBCB  OP 

The  export  trade  was  satisfactory,  and  the  only  complaints  were  the  usual 
ones  about  the  falling  off  in  Texas.    Prices  were  practically  unchanged. 

In  clay  products,  inclusive  of  building^  paving  and  fire  brick,  pipingi 
tiling  and  terre  cotta,  the  business  of  the  past  year  is  said  to  have  been  25% 
greater  than  that  of  the  previous  year,  with  sales  in  excess  of  $5^000,000. 
St.  Louis  is  a  prominent  producer  and  distributor  of  the  higher  grades  of 
clay  products.  A  healthy  and  growing  demand  is  reported  from  Cuba  and 
Mexico. 

The  money  invested  in  the  agricultural  implement  business  in  St  Louis 
was  increased  12}^  to  15  9$  during  1902.  The  volume  of  business  was  not 
quite  as  large  as  that  of  1901,  principally  because  the  drouth  prevailing  in 
1901  throughout  the  St.  Louis  tributary  country,  which  curtailed  spring 
purchases.  Towards  the  close  of  the  year,  however,  business  improved 
considerably,  and  the  indications  for  the  coming  year  are  very  bright.  The 
export  trade  with  Southern  countries  is  growing  steadily,  but  is  not  in  a 
satisfactory  condition  in  those  communities  that  are  operating  on  a  silver 
basis.  Prices  are  somewhat  higher  on  account  of  advances  in  iron  and 
steel. 

Similar  conditions  were  experienced  by  the  dealers  in  buggies  and 
yehicles,  and  the  saddle  and  harness  concerns.  These  lines  are  more  closely 
in  touch  with  the  farming  community  than  any  other,  and  they  unanimously 
report  that  the  business  of  the  past  twelve  months  is  below  that  of  1901. 
In  every  instance  the  spring  trade  fell  off  and  showed  a  loss  of  at  least  20% 
on  the  average.  From  August  on  business  improved  all  along  the  line,  and 
the  year  closed  with  enough  orders  on  the  books  of  local  houses  to  insure 
substantial  gains  next  year.  St.  Louis  is  the  largest  moderate-priced 
vehicle  and  buggy  market  in  the  country.  Prices  were  about  7J^%  higher 
on  the  average.  The  bulk  of  the  city's  business  is  manufactured  here. 
The  city  is  not  prominent  in  the  high  grade  carriage  business,  but  the  local 
houses  in  that  line  were  uniformly  prosperous,  and  pronounce  1902  the  best 
year  in  their  experience,  and  10  to  25%  better  than  1901.  The  saddle  and 
harness  business  of  St.  Louis  is  a  solid  and  substantial  part  of  the  local 
commerce.  The  sales  of  1902  amounted  to  about  $6,000,000.  Besides  the 
manufacturing  of  harness,  all  the  local  houses  are  extensively  engaged  in 
the  jobbing  of  material,  supplies  and  saddlery  hardware. 

The  position  of  St.  Louis  as  a  lumber  market  remains  unexcelled.  The 
woods  of  the  South  have  grown  in  consumption  considerably  in  excess  of 
those  of  the  North,  and  this  city  is  the  center  of  the  Southern  Lumber 
World.  During  the  past  year  twenty  new  firms  opened  general  sales  offices 
here,  and  almost  all  the  big  operators  of  the  country  are  operating  in  this 
market.  Receipts  of  1902  are  in  excess  of  a  billion  and  a  half  feet;  the 
St.  Louis  business  made  up  of  direct  shipments,  which  never  touched  this 
point,  are  reported  to  have  been  at  least  750,000,000  feet. 

St.  Louis  is  the  largest  drag  market  in  the  West.  The  trade  of  1902  was 
in  the  main  satisfactory.  The  value  of  business  in  the  drug  trade  proper  is 
placed  at  $7,000,000.    The  field  of  operations  for  the  wholesale  dealer  is 


PHB  OITY  OP  ST.  LOUIS.  43 

gradually  being  curtailed  by  the  disposition  of  the  manufacturer  to  deal 
direct  with  the  retail  trade.  This  condition  prevails  throughout  the  country, 
and  has  compelled  the  wholesale  dealers  to  enter  the  field  of  the  manufac- 
turer and  put  out  their  own  pharmaceutical  and  proprietary  goods.  The 
local  proprietary  medicine  houses  added  largely  to  their  business  during  the 
year^  and  several  of  these  establishments  have  attained  the  very  foremost 
place  in  their  respective  lines.  As  a  manufacturer  of  heavy  chemicals 
St.  Louis  occupies  front  rank,  and  the  output  is  shipped  to  all  parts  of  the 
United  States  and  to  many  foreign  countries.  Take  the^rade  as  a  whole 
the  aggregate  of  sales  during  the  past  year  was  fully  $40,000,000. 

In  paints  and  oils  the  volume  of  trade  was  practically  the  same  as  for 
the  previous  year.  There  was  a  falling  oft  in  the  spring  trade,  but  an  im- 
provement in  the  fall  business  which  made  good  the  earlier  loss.  Sales 
were  estimated  at  $6,000,000.  St.  Louis  is  recognized  as  the  best  market  in 
this  line  in  Trans-Mississippi  territory. 

In  the  distribution  of  iron,  heavy  hardware  and  wagon  material  St.Louis 
maintained  its  position  as  one  of  the  most  important  points  in  the  country. 
The  business  of  1902  was  15  to  20%  greater  than  in  1901,  and  totaled  in  the 
neighborhood  of  $15,000,000.  The  dealers  did  all  the  business  within  their 
power,  as  the  mills  have  for  some  time  been  several  months  behind  their 
orders.  The  demands  on  the  local  market  were  far  in  excess  of  the  ability 
of  the  mills  to  supply  them.  Prices  ruled  higher.  The  prospects  for  190S 
are  exceedingly  bright. 

So  firmly  established  is  this  city  in  the  position  of  the  leading  wooden- 
ware  market,  that  there  is  really  only  one  large  house  in  this  line  outside 
this  city.  St.  Louis  markets  more  than  one-half  the  woodenware 
of  the  country.  The  business  of  the  past  year  showed  a  decided  increase 
over  the  preceding.  Sales  approximated  $10,000,000,  and  the  trade  terri- 
tory covered  the  entire  United  States. 

The  paper  business  of  St.  Louis  for  1902,  including  stationery  and  envel- 
opes, was  in  excess  of  $6,000,000.  The  year's  gain  is  estimated  at  33>^  %  in 
money  value ;  partially  explained  by  the  fact  that  prices  ruled  between  20 
and  25%  higher  on  the  average.  The  paper  mills  of  the  East  were  con- 
stantly behind  their  orders.  The  local  factories  devoted  to  the  manufacture 
of  envelopes  showed  gratifying  gains. 

This  city  is  in  the  first  rank  as  a  trunk  manufacturing  point.  A  new 
f^tory,  said  to  be  unequaled  in  size  in  the  United  States,  went  into  oper- 
ation at  the  close  of  the  year.  The  business  of  1902  approximated 
$1^500,000;  practically  the  same  as  1901. 

The  year  in  groceries  was  marked  by  an  unique  condition.  The  jobbers 
consider  the  business  an  improvement  on  1901,  although  sales  in  that  year 
were  greater  than  in  the  one  just  closed.  The  paradox  is  caused  by  the 
fact  that  the  drought  of  1901  was  an  important  benefit  to  the  trade  of  that 
year.  Droughts  always  benefit  the  grocery  business,  because  food  producers 
are  compelled  to  resort  to  the  stocks  of  the  grocery  houses  for  their  own 
subftistance.    So  the  business  of  1901  had  an  unnatural  infiation,  and  that 


44  TRADE  AND  OOMMXBOE  OF 

of  1902  showed  a  healthy  increase  of  normal  sales.  The  straight  job- 
bing  business  amounts  to  about  $56,000,000,  and  when  this  added  to  the 
operations  of  coffee  houses,  vinegar,  spices,  and  other  kindred  lines,  the 
resulting  figures  will  exceed  $75,000,000.  St.  Louis  is  considered  the  lead- 
ing market  in  the  West  for  green  and  roasted  coffee.  Its  advantages  for 
receiving  green  coffee  from  Brazil  accounts  for  the  enviable  position. 
Some  of  the  largest  and  most  prominent  coffee  roasting  houses  in  the 
country  are  located  here. 

The  glassware  and  crockery  trade  of  1903  shows  marked  improvement, 
justifying  the  statement  that  St.  Louis  has  taken  a  prominent  place  in  this 
line.  The  cut  glass  industry,  started  in  1901  has  made  rapid  progress,  and 
sales  have  increased  ten-fold,  extending  principally  through  the  West, 
South  and  Southeast,  and  a  new  factory  is  projected  for  the  coming  year. 
The  crockeryware  trade  has  also  expanded,  and  sales  have  been  large 
enough  to  control  certain  pottery  factories  in  advantageous  shipping  loca- 
tions.   It  is  stated  that  sales  were  fully  $5,000,000. 

In  plate  and  sheet  glass  the  year  shows  an  increase  in  volume  of  25% 
with  prices  somewhat  lower.  Impossibility  to  fill  orders  without  serious 
delay  was  the  only  trouble  with  the  trade.  The  World's  Fair  construction 
created  a  big  local  demand  for  window  glass.  Mirror  glass  sales  made  a 
large  increase,  The  glass  factories  in  this  vicinity  made  decided  gains, 
altthough  the  bulk  of  the  goods  still  come  from  Indiana  and  Pennsylvania. 
An  enormous  plant,  just  outside  the  city,  was  nearing  completion  at  the 
end  of  the  year.  It  will  be  a  force  in  the  business  of  1903.  In  ornamental 
or  art  glass,  authorities  estimate  the  increase  of  business  at  not  less  than 
50%.  St.  Louis  has  the  largest  general  art  glass  house  in  the  country. 
Increased  demands  from  planing  mills  for  ornamental  glass  for  stock  pur- 
poses was  an  important  factor  in  the  prosperity.  Bevelled  plate  glass, 
with  metallic  sash,  is  shipped  from  here  all  over  the  West  and  South.  In 
bottles  the  volume  of  shipments  were  about  the  same  as  that  of  1901,  a 
condition  extremely  satisfactory  to  the  trade,  as  1901  was  35  to  40%  over 
1900.  In  this  line,  both  as  a  manufacturing  and  distributing  point,  St.  Louis 
occupies  an  enviable  position.  In  beer  bottles  It  is  one  of  the  two  largest 
markets  in  the  United  States. 

From  *'  time  out  of  mind  '*  St.  Louis  has  been  the  largest  primary  fur 
market  in  the  world,  and  there  is  little  danger  of  her  pre-eminence  being 
disputed.  The  season  closing  in  1902  was  double  that  of  1901  in  volume 
of  business,  and  the  season  beginning  in  December,  1902,  indicated  an 
intention  to  at  least  equal  the  high  water  mark  of  the  trade.  The  catch 
was  unprecedently  large,  and  at  the  same  time  prices  were  never  better. 
The  furs  were  sold  to  manufacturers  from  all  parts  of  the  United  States 
and  Canada,  and  large  shipments  were  made  to  London,  the  greatest  fin- 
ished fur  market  in  the  world.  The  wave  of  prosperity  is  considered  due 
solely  to  the  enormous  consumptive  demand  from  fur-wearing  regions, 
and  no  speculative  holdings  have  affected  the  market. 

In  wool  this  city  ranks  second  to  Boston ;  1902  was  the  best  year  In  the 
history  of  the  business.    Sales  were  above  $12,000,000,  an  increase  of  20  to 


THE  CITY  OP  ST.  LOUIS,  45 

95%.  Shipments  were  made  to  all  parts  of  the  oountry,  and  demands  far 
heavier  than  usual  from  mills  in  the  Mississippi  Valley  helped  to  swell  the 
increase  of  local  sales.    Values  were  higher. 

In  hides  there  was  a  gain  of  about  the  same  amount.  The  city  ranlm 
second  in  the  marketing  of  domestic  hides.  The  business  of  the  year  is 
conseryatiyely  estimated  at  $10,000,000.  Most  shipments  were  made  to 
tanners  in  Pennsylyania,  NewYork^  Wisconsin  and  Michigan;  but  the 
local  demand  was  very  heavy,  because  of  the  increased  business  of  the 
several  large  tanneries  located  here. 

In  the  way  of  electrical  supplies  St.  Louis  is  fast  coming  to  the  front  as 
a  leading  market.  Jobbing  sales  in  1902  increased  about  25%.  The  South 
and  Southwest  is  the  principal  trade  territory.  The  Mexican  business  is 
heavy,  and  branch  houses  of  St.  Louis  concerns  are  located  in  that  country. 
Shipments  from  local  factories  to  Japan  and  the  Orient  are  by  no  means 
small.  In  the  way  of  electrical  machinery  business  was  very  heavy  with 
railroads  and  lighting  plants.  The  World's  Fair  swelled  the  local  de- 
mand. 

The  Mound  City  is  very  prominent  in  the  jobbing  and  manufacturing 
of  railway  supplies.  No  city  in  the  world  enjoys  a  larger  volume  of  busi- 
ness in  this  line;  the  reason  being  that  many  railway  purchasing 
headquarters  are  located  here.  Another  important  cause  is  the  un- 
disputed fact  that  the  development  of  railroad  possibilities  in  the  South- 
west is  easily  twice  as  great  as  in  any  other  district.  Sales  in  1902  were 
20%  over  1901,  and  the  latter  year  was  fully  40%  over  1900.  Local  manu- 
facturing interests  are  growing,  and  the  products  of  St.  Louis  plants  are 
used  all  over  the  American  Continent,  and  on  the  railways  of  Europe.  So 
widespread  is  the  trade  territory  that  business  with  Mexico  and  Canada  is 
not  considered  export  trade  at  all. 

The  furniture  trade  enjoyed  a  business  as  large,  if  not  larger,  than 
that  of  the  preceding  year.  The  city  has  attained  a  most  prominent  posi- 
tion in  this  line.  Local  factory  interests  are  exceedingly  large,  and  in  the 
manufacture  of  cheap  and  medium  grade  furniture  this  city  probably 
ranks  first  in  this  country.  Shipments  are  made  into  every  State,  and  the 
export  trade  is  decidedly  heavy. 

In  the  manufacture  and  distribution  of  candies  St.  Louis  is  the  most 
important  point  west  of  the  Atlantic  seaboard,  and  ranks  second  or  third 
In  the  country.  The  business  of  1902  was  practically  the  same  as  that  of 
1901^  with  unchanged  prices.  The  trade  territory  of  the  city  extends  from 
the  Bookies  to  the  Alleghenies,  including  the  most  northern  tier  of  States, 
as  well  as  the  most  southern. 

Local  carpet  houses  report  a  gain  of  10%  for  the  year.  Sales  were 
around  $4,000,000,  and  the  entire  country,  with  the  exception  of  the  Atlan- 
tic seaboard,  was  covered  by  shipments.  New  residents  in  the  city  coming 
from  other  quarters  made  a  heavy  increase  in  the  local  consumption.  In 
carpets  this  is  a  most  important  jobbing  center,  and  the  business  is  increas- 
ing annually. 


46  TRADE  AND  OOMHEBCE  OF 

The  cold  sUrage  facilities  of  the  city  are  ample  for  its  needs.  The  in- 
yestment  in  these  plants  amount  to  $1^600  000.  Although  in  cubic  capacity 
St.  Louis  is  not  the  largest  in  the  West,  it  unquestionably  has  the  most 
complete  facilities,  because  of  its  extensive  system  of  pipes  for  the  distri- 
bution of  cold  for  the  purpose  of  storing  in  any  part  of  the  business 
section.  It  is  the  only  system  of  the  kind  in  the  West^  and  at  the  present 
time  employs  oyer  three  miles  of  piping.  The  amount  of  property  stored 
during  the  year  was  far  above  former  years. 

Local  manufacturers  of  stoves  and  ranges  suffered  during  the  past  year 
from  the  effects  of  the  drought  of  1901.  Sales  for  the  first  six  months 
were  very  slow,  and  although  the  later  months  showed  an  increase  over 
the  same  months  of  1901,  the  whole  year  showed  a  falling  off.  The  sales 
of  the  year  are  reported  at  $3,000,000,  and  shipments  were  made  through- 
out the  country,  with  the  exception  of  the  New  England  States.  Prices 
were  higher  because  of  advanced  cost  of  every  element  of  manufacture. 

In  the  extent  of  Its  prominence  in  the  manufacture  of  passenger  and 
freight  cars  St.  Louis  enjoys  a  world-wide  pre-eminence.  More  street 
cars  are  built  here  than  in  any  other  city^  and  one  of  the  local  street  car 
factories  is  the  largest  in  the  world.  During  the  past  year  2,000  cars  were 
shipped  from  this  point,  representing  a  value  of  $4,000,000.  The  foreign 
shipments  of  the  year  amounted  to  350  cars,  and  the  largest  invoices  were 
to  Germany,  Argentina,  Mexico  and  Brazil.  Prosperous  conditions  for  the 
future  are  indicated  by  the  fact  that  orders  are  now  on  the  books  that  will 
employ  a  1  the  factories^  resources  until  May.  Prices  have  been  higher, 
because  of  increased  cost  of  manufacture.  Sales  were  $15,872,108,  and 
increase  of  $4,199,193.93.  The  principal  gains  were  made  in  the  South 
and  West.  Important  exports  were  made  to  Costa  Rica,  South  America, 
Mexico  and  the  Hawaiian  Islands.  One-tenth  of  the  entire  business  of  the 
country  was  done  in  St.  Louis. 

St.  Louis  has  so  long  held  the  position  of  the  leading  tobacco  market  of 
the  world,  that  the  mammoth  operations  of  the  tobacco  interests  are  an 
old  story.  The  trade  made  an  increase  over  the  enormous  sales  of  1901, 
making  the  gross  volume  of  business  82,593,541  pounds.  In  money  value 
these  sales  figure  in  the  neighborhood  of  $26,000,000.  The  product  of 
St.  Louis  plants  (mostly  plug  tobacco)  was  shipped  all  over  the  United 
States,  and  exported  to  foreign  countries.  Prices  were  about  the  same  as 
in  1901.  In  addition  to  the  amount  manufactured,  there  were  17,963,410 
pounds  of  tobacco  (mostly  smoking)  received  from  other  points. 

While  not  prominent  in  the  manufacture,  St.  Louis  is  a  large  distributor 
of  cigars,  and  sales  increased  the  past  year  to  some  123^  to  15%.  The 
sales  for  the  year  are  estimated  at  275,000,000,  at  an  average  value  of  $40 
per  thousand. 

In  the  brewery  line  the  year  settled  the  fact  that  St.  Louis  has  the 
largest  beer  brewery  in  the  world.  This  point  has  been  contested  for  some 
time,  but  Is  generally  considered  settled.  The  business  in  general  in- 
creased 15%,  making  the  total  volume  in  the  neighborhood  of  $18,000,000. 


THE  Omr  OF  ST.  LOUIS.  47 

The  beer  is  sold  in  all  parts  of  the  country,  and  exports  are  very  heavy. 
The  new  American  possessions  have  become  large  handlers  of  the  product, 
and  the  widespread  distribution  is  attested  by  not  an  unimportant  ship- 
ment into  Germany^  the  birth  place  of  lager  beer. 

In  retail  merchandising  the  volume  of  business  was  highly  satisfactory 
in  extent  and  prices.  An  nnusual  number  of  notable  expansions  and  new 
enterprises  distinguished  the  year.  One  of  the  department  stores  practic- 
ally doubled  its  capacity  for  business,  and  at  the  same  time  added  a  hand- 
some building  to  the  retail  section  of  the  city.  A  new  department  store 
of  first  importance  entered  the  field,  and  a  large  clothing  and  furnishing 
house  opened  its  doors  for  the  first  time  this  year.  A  number  of  smaller 
concerns  engaged  In  extensive  lines  began  operations.  Some  of  these 
were  newcomers  in  the  commercial  field,  and  others  recognized  the  advan- 
tages of  the  Mound  City  by  moving  here  from  other  places.  Throughout 
the  year  the  retail  district  has  worn  an  air  of  prosperity  and  substance 
that  went  to  prove  the  general  flourishing  condition  of  the  community. 

In  summing  up  the  records  of  the  year  we  find  that  the  good  old  city 
of  St.  Louis  has  not  merely  held  her  own  commercially,  but  has  made  a 
decided  advance  in  the  development  of  her  trade  and  commerce. 

With  an  unsurpassed  location  in  the  business  center  of  this  great 
country,  with  an  unexcelled  system  of  rail  and  river  transportation,  with  a 
financial  standing  second  to  no  other  community,  her  future  is  bright  and 
promising,  and  her  position  firmly  established  as  the  great  metropolis  of 
tlie  great  Mississippi  Valley. 


48  TRADE  AND  OOMHEROX  OF 


THE  COMMERCIAL  FUTURE  OF  ST.  LOUIS. 


By  WiiiLiAjf  FiiEWBLLTM  8Auin>BBS,  Secretary  and  General  Manager  of 

The  Business  Men's  League  of  St^  Louis. 


Considering  the  time  of  its  incorporation  as  an  American  city  as  its 
birtliday,  St.  Louis  is  tlie  youngest  of  the  four  great  cities  of  the  United 
States,  but  it  is  the  lustiest.  Its  percentage  of  commercial  growth  during 
the  past  ten  years  was  greater  than  that  of  either  one  of  the  four.  In  1890 
its  commercial  position  was  somewhat  vague  and  uncertain.  At  the  end 
of  1902  it  is  plain  that  there  is  a  great  city  here,  and  that  it  is  one  of  the 
commercial  powers  of  the  country.  It  is  the  fourth  city  of  the  United 
States  in  population,  and  the  fourth  in  point  of  manufacturing  product^ 
and  it  is  one  of  the  two  cities  that  stand  highest  as  to  credit  in  home  and 
foreign  money  markets,  New  York  being  the  other. 

If  one  will  trace  the  history  of  the  great  cities  of  the  world,  beginning^ 
with  the  older  countries  and  proceeding  then  to  the  new  world,  one  will 
come  to  believe  that  the  development  of  the  settlement  into  the  metropolis 
is  just  as  much  a  matter  of  natural  advantages  as  it  is  a  matter  of  enter- 
prise on  the  part  of  the  people  who  found  the  town  and  live  in  it.  The 
most  active  and  industrious  people  have  never  been  able  to  build  into  im- 
portance a  town  which  was  situated  ill  as  to  tributary  commercial  terri- 
tory. Any  one  can  recall  examples  of  pathetic  struggles  of  this  sor 
There  would  be  years  of  hopeful  efforts  without  result,  and  then  the  town 
would  stop  growing  and  relapse  into  existence  as  a  village,  while  the  most 
vigorous  of  its  people  went  to  places  better  situated.  On  the  other  hand  a 
town  founded  well,  as  to  tributary  commercial  territory,  will  not  grow 
unless  it  has  the  energetic  and  sagacious  people  in  it  to  use  their  opportu- 
nities and  take  advantage  of  the  natural  situation.  It  will  attract  this  kind 
of  inhabitants  as  its  promise  becomes  known,  and  they  will  come  to  it 
from  other  cities  that  promise  less. 

The  founder  of  St.  Louis  builded  better  than  he  knew  when  he  estab- 
lished his  trading  station  on  the  banks  of  the  Mississippi.  He  founded  a 
town  which  had  all  the  natural  qualities  needed  to  make  it  a  great  city, 
and,  appreciating  its  well  chosen  site,  to  it  came  people  with  the  American 
temperament,  muscle,  and  brain  that  had  to  be  added  to  make  the  town 
grow  into  the  city.  St.  Louis  did  not  grow  away  from  its  surroundings, 
but  grew  with  them.  As  the  forests  and  prairies  of  the  Mississippi  Valley 
and  the  Southwestern  country  gave  place  to  villages,  towns  and  cities,  and 
productive  farms,  they  gave  of  their  prosperity  to  St.  Louis,  and  so  made 
it  stronger  and  greater  year  by  year,  while  the  city  in  return  supported 
them.    The  bonds  between  the  city  and  its  dependent  territory  grew  close 


THE  CITY  OF  ST.  LOmS.  49 

as  they  both  became  stronger.  Now  St.  Loals  is  indisputably  the  supply 
point  of  a  dozen  States,  including  nearly  a  million  square  miles,  where 
it  has  no  rival,  and  it  is  sharing  with  other  large  cities  in  the  commerce 
of  at  least  six  more  States. 

One  may  see  with  a  much  clearer  eye  the  future  of  St.  Louis  in  1902 
than  it  was  possible  to  do  ten  years  ago,  when  not  only  was  the  city  itself 
in  straits  for  the  money  needed  for  public  works^  but  its  trade  future  was 
still  dependent  upon  conditions  to  be  made.  The  improvement  of  the  city 
itself  has  begun  now  on  a  very  large  scale,  assisted  by  the  work  directly 
dependent  upon  the  World's  Fair  and,  more  potent  than  this,  forced  on  by 
the  World's  Fair  spirit  of  progress.  The  most  strikiog  example  of  this  is 
the  remarkable  amount  of  building  going  on  in  this  city.  This  year 
$13,000,000  were  spent  in  the  city  upon  hotels,  dwellings,  and  buildings  of 
other  sort.  There  is  strong  evidence  that  $20,000,000  will  be  spent  in  this 
way  in  1903.  The  people  of  the  State  and  city  have  decided  that  it  is  not 
fair  to  the  city  to  make  it  pay  as  it  goes.  Posterity  must  pay  for  some  of 
the  benefits  posterity  will  enjoy,  and  so  it  has  been  decided  to  issue  bonds, 
and  with  the  $8,000,000  or  $10,000,000  thus  secured,  to  add  to  the  city'g 
streets,  sewers  and  the  public  buildings  that  are  needed.  A  new  charter  is 
being  made  which  will  modernize  the  methods  by  which  the  city  will  be 
governed,  and  will  moreover  extend  invitations  to  mercantile  and  manu- 
facturing capital.  When  the  World's  Fair  is  oyer  the  net  result  will  be  a 
substantial  gain  in  population  and  financial  resources. 

The  extension  of  the  trade  of  the  city  will  be  as  marked  during  the 
next  few  years  as  the  improvement  within.  This  is  an  epoch  of  railway 
building  in  the  South,  the  West  and  the  Southwest,  and  every  spike  driven 
is  building  up  St.  Louis.  The  great  Mississippi  River,  the  natural  freight 
carrier  between  St.  Paul  and  New  Orleans,  is  coming  at  last  into  its  own. 
To  solTe  the  immense  problem  of  freight  transportation  the  river  must  be 
used.  It  is  wasteful  to  let  it  fiow  on  without  an  adequate  burden  of  freight 
boats,  its  gigantic  power  unused.  The  railways  which  are  the  most  prac- 
tical students  of  economic  problems  in  this  country,  are  just  beginniDg  to 
understand  that  the  river  is  not  a  rival  but  an  ally,  and  that  they  must  in 
the  future  handle  freight  by  river  as  well  as  by  rail.  It  will  not  be  long 
before  the  north  and  south  railway  lines  will  enter  upon  the  river  trans- 
portation business  systematically,  re-enforcing  their  land  lines,  and  will 
combine  to  secure  from  Congress  the  money  to  make  the  river  navigable 
for  heavy  freight  boats  for  its  whole  length. .  The  development  of  territory 
bordering  the  river  and  tributary  to  St.  Louis  which  will  follow  this,  will 
be  great,  and  St.  Louis  will  control  the  trade  ef  both  the  upper  and  lower 
river. 

The  foreign  trade  of  St.  Louis  will  not  be  any  considerable  factor  of  its 
commerce  for  sometime  to  come,  because  the  domestic  territory  in  the  im- 
mediate vicinity  of  St.  Louis  promises  more  profitably  at  present.  By 
foreign  is  meant  trade  with  countries  across  the  ocean.  St.  Louis  already 
has  a  very  large  and  fast  growing  trade  in  Mexico,  and  will  undoubtedly 


50  TRADE  AND  OOMHSROS  OF 

control  that  whole  market  wheneyer  its  mannf  actnrere  and  wholesale  men 
have  their  domestic  territory  under  such  control  that  they  are  willing  to 
relax  their  efforts  there  and  put  out  their  whole  strength  on  the  Mexican 
trade. 

In  the  matter  of  population  New  York,  Chicago,  Philadelphia  and 
St.  Louis  are  too  far  apart,  and  their  growth  is  too  nearly  equal,  year  by 
year,  for  them  to  change  their  relatiye  positions,  at  least  within  an  ordinary 
lifetime.  St.  Louis  moreoTer  is  too  large  now,  and  growing  too  fast  to  be 
approached  by  any  smaller  city  in  the  future.  The  reasonable  expectation 
of  the  city  may  be — 

J^rtt.— That  it  will  be  one  of  the  largest  and  most  productive  manufac- 
turing cities  of  the  world,  considering  the  Missouri,  Mississippi  and 
Meramec  as  sources  of  electric  power,  and  the  unlimited  fuel  lying  in  the 
Missouri  and  Illinois  mining  districts  nearby. 

/Second.— That  it  will  be  the  selling  and  distributing  city  for  a  larger 
part  of  the  United  States  than  is  supplied  by  any  other  city  in  the  country, 
considering  the  commercial  conditions  of  the  West,  the  South  and  the 
Southwest^  the  situation  of  the  city  with  respect  to  productive  territory, 
the  railway  building  now  going  on,  and  the  river  improvement  probable.

FINANCIAL  REVIEW. 


By  T.  A.  Stoddabt,  Manager  of  St.  Louis  Clearing  House. 


The  following  statements  of  the  banks  and  trast  companies  are  con- 
densed from  the  latest  reports  published,  and  furnished  the  Clearing  House 
Association : 

Trust  Companies  under  date  October  81, 1902. 
Banks  under  date  I'i'oyember  25,  1902. 

With  this  information  only  at  command  the  results  of  the  full  year  could 
not  be  obtained,  yet  the  figures  for  this  fraction  of  the  year  show  such  gains 
in  all  lines  that  conditions  cannot  fail  to  be  entirely  satisfactory. 

A  notable  feature  of  the«year  1902  is  the  large  increase  of  the  capitali- 
zation and  surplus  of  the  banks  and  trust  companies,  for  details  of  which 
refer  to  statements. 

The  dividends  paid  to  shareholders  during  the  year  amount  to : 

From  Banks $1,978,000 

From  Trust  Companies 1,690,000 

$8,608,000 

The  year  1901  excelled  all  former  years  in  the  amount  of  clearings,  and 
now  1902  is  in  excess  of  1901  by  (236,124.10. 

The  monthly  and  annual  clearings  for  a  series  of  years  will  be  found  in

M  TRADE  AND  COMMERCE  OF 


MANUFACTURING  INDUSTRIES,  190a. 


By  Ohas.  E.  Ware.  Secretary  St.  Louis  Manaf actorers  AssoclatLon. 


The  growth  of  St.  Louis  manufacturing  for  the  past  year  has  been  much 
more  than  normal.  All  of  the  plants  in  existence  prior  to  the  year  have 
increased  their  capacity,  and  many  of  them  almost  doubled  it.  As  nearly 
as  it  is  possible  to  obtain  figures  without  an  accurate  census^  St.  Louis 
proper  at  present  has  about  6,959  factories;  large  and  small;  and  employs 
100,000  persons.  The  annual  pajrroU  amounting  to  very  nearly  $15^000,000. 
The  value  of  the  product  of  these  factories  will  approximate  $325,000,000. 
There  should  be  added  to  this  the  factories  on  the  opposite  side  of  the 
river,  in  Venice,  Madison  and  Granite  City,  by  reason  of  the  capital  invested 
in  them  and  the  interlocking  with  manufacturing  interests  in  St.  Louis. 
These  factories  employ  over  5,000  workmen;  and  pay  $3,000,000  per  year  in 
wages;  and  produce  nearly  $20,000,000.  The  same  can  also  be  claimed  in 
regard  to  East  St.  Louis  factories,  which  employ  nearly  10,000  persons,  and 
pay  out  in  salaries  about  $6,000,000,  producing  between  $30,000,000  and 
$40,000,000  worth  of  product. 

Several  very  extensive  new  lines  of  manufacturing  have  been  established 
in  St.  Louis,  during  the  year;  notably  one  of  the  most  complete  and 
modem  cement  plants  in  the  United  States,  fully  equipped  with  the  latest 
improved  machinery,  and  with  a  capacity  of  over  1,500  barrels  of  the  finest 
Portland  cement  per  day.  The  mill  is  constructed  with  a  view  of  doubling 
the  capacity  of  the  plant  at  relatively  small  cost.  The  erection  of  this 
plant  in  St.  Louis  has  added  over  $1,000,000  to  the  industrial  investments, 
and  the  fact  that  in  close  proximity  the  very  finest  limestone  and  shale  for 
the  manufacture  of  Portland  cement  is  found  in  the  suburbs  of  St.  Louis, 
makes  it  possible  to  produce  the  most  excellent  quality  of  cement  at  the 
very  lowest  cost  of  production.  In  connection  with  the  plant  great  storage 
houses  have  been  constructed,  capable  of  storing  160,000  barrels  at  a  time, 
and  as  Portland  cement  is  improved  by  ageing,  this  will  be  of  great 
advantage. 

Another  immense  industrial  plant  established  in  St.  Louis,  or  rather  In 
its  suburbs,  is  located  at  Valley  Park,  and  is  for  the  production  of  fine  plate 
glass.  The  plant  is  one  of  the  largest  in  the  world.  The  necessary  material 
for  manufacturing  glass  is  found  in  the  immediate  vicinity.  Tliis  plant  will 
produce  the  largest  sizes  of  fine  plate  glass  at  an  expense  of  about  one -half 
of  the  former  cost  of  producing  such  plates.  It  will  employ  over  1,000 
persons,  and  a  model  industrial  town  is  being  built  around  it.  Over 
$1,500^000  capital  is  invested  in  the  glass  plant  and  the  other  industries 
connected  with  it. 


THX  OITT  07  ST.  LOUIS.  56 

These;  with  the  other  great  industries,  are  the  direct  result  of  the  supe- 
rior railroad  facilities  that  are  now  being  arranged  or  constructed  for 
St  Louis.  The  inner  railroad  belt  entirely  around  the  city  within  the  city 
limits,  has  opened  up  new  territory  that  can  be  obtained  at  reasonable 
prices,  and  with  every  city  convenience  possible  for  manufacturing  pur- 
poses. And  the  outer  belt  around  the  city,  and  about  three  or  four  miles 
west  of  the  limits,  offers  the  finest  facilities  for  immense  plants  similar  to 
the  glass  plant  above  mentioned.  These  railroad  improvements  will  all  be 
completed  within  the  next  year  or  eighteen  months,  and  will  give  the 
manufacturing  industries  cheap  and  ample  shipping  and  receiving  facilities. 

Many  new  manufacturing  companies  have  been  organized  within  the 
past  few  months,  and  plants  are  being  constructed,  or  will  be  finished 
during  the  next  year.  A  new  steel  company  has  commenced  operations  at 
Granite  City,  with  an  investment  of  $1,000,000^  and  employing  over  800 
men^  and  the  plant  is  to  be  doubled  during  the  year. 

New  packing  houses  are  being  erected  in  East  St.  Louis,  and  are  very 
nearly  completed,  representing  an  investment  of  (S^OOO^OOO,  and  requiring 
the  services  of  2,000  additional  men. 

It  is  proposed  to  build  an  enormous  boiler  and  locomotive  works  at 
Granite  City^  and  the  plans  are  almost  completed^  which  will  add  over 
$1^000,000  to  the  capital  already  invested  there  in  manufacturing  industries^ 
and  will  employ  1,000  mechanics. 

It  is  impossible  to  give  statistical  figures  that  are  entirely  accurate;  but 
the  following  may  be  taken  as  a  close  approximate  of  the  present  industrial 
condition  of  St.  Louis  and  its  immediate  suburbs :

The  rapid  growth  of  agricultural  industries  in  territory  surrounding 
St.  Louis,  particularly  in  Arkansas,  Indian  Territory  and  Oklahoma,  should 


56  TBADB  AND  OOHMBBOB  OF 

suggest  to  the  manufacturers  of  all  classes  of  agricultural  machinery,  the 
advantages  of  this  point  for  the  location  of  immense  plants.  St.  Louis  will 
be  the  greatest  distributing  center  in  the  United  States  within  a  few  years 
for  every  class  of  manufactured  goods^  and  can  offer  the  greatest  advantages 
to  manufacturers  to  locate  their  plants  here. 

Every  line  of  business  was  greater  during  1902  than  any  year  in  the 
history  of  St.  Louis^  and  the  outlook  for  1903  promises  still  more  expansion 
and  success. 


REAL  ESTATE. 

From  the  Annual  Beport  of  Sidsst  Bghiblb,  Assistant  Secretary 

St.  Louis  Beal  Estate  Exchange. 


The  record  of  the  real  estate  business  of  St  Louis,  during  the  year  just 
closed,  is  one  which  can  be  contemplated  with  much  satisfaction.  The 
year  has,  all  things  considered,  been  better  than  that  of  1901,  as  the  sta- 
tistics accompanying  this  report  will  verify.  Transfers  were  greater  in 
number  and  the  aggregate  value  recorded  was  about  ten  million  dollars 
more  in  1902  than  was  recorded  in  the  year  previous.  The  character  of 
the  property  sold  also  affords  food  for  study.  The  home  buyer,  the  pur- 
chaser of  small  lots  for  improvement,  as  well  as  investors  for  permanant 
investment  or  speculation  were  much  in  evidence,  and  although  the  real 
estate  business  was  not  equal  to  the  expectations  of  some  of  the  members  of 
the  Exchange,  it  is  admitted  that  the  increase  in  transfers  and  general 
inquiry  shows  a  healthy  growth  and  a  much  larger  business  and  a  more 
active  market  is  predicted  by  all  for  the  coming  year. 

BAILBOADS  AS  REALTT  BUYERS. 

The  feature  of  the  year  from  a  real  estate  standpoint  was  the  entrance 
of  railroad  companies  into  the  real  estate  market,  who,  seeing  the  future  of 
the  city  and  the  advantages  of  St.  Louis  as  a  terminal  point,  have  been 
large  buyers  of  property.  Quoting  from  the  last  annual  real  estate  review 
in  these  columns :  '*  St.  Louis  is  receiving  more  attention  at  the  hands  of 
the  transportation  interests.  Switching  facilities  are  being  enlarged,  yards 
laid  out,  terminals  amplified  and  belt  lines  constructed  and  under  way  to 
meet  the  needs  for  the  concentration  of  and  rapid  handling  of  freight,  so 
necessary  to  the  manufacturer,  merchant  and  shipper.  The  wholesale 
jobbing  interests  have  during  the  past  year  turned  their  attention  more 
assiduously  to  these  needs.  ^^ 

It  is  not  an  idle  phrophecy,  judging  from  the  buying  that  has  already 

been  done,  to  say  that  the  railroads  will  have  invested  in  St.  Louis  realty, 

several  million  dollars  within  the  next  twelve  or  eighteen  months — and 

money  paid  to  property  owners  by  railroad  companies  ffeneally  stays  in  tliis 
class  of  investment.    It  is  reinvested  in  real  estate,  tnereby  admng  tilat 

much  more  capital  to  the  building  up  and  beautifying  of  the  city. 


THE  CITY  OP  ST.  LOUIS.  67 

The  Bock  Island;  Wabash,  Btirlingtoii;  Keokuk,  Termmal  Railroad 
Association  and  other  railroad  companies  have  been  liberal  purchasers. 

With  the  entry  of  the  railroads  into  the  St.  Louis  real  estate  market  the 
advent  of  a  formidable  group  of  buyers  has  put  new  life  into  this  class  of 
proi>erty.  A  new  inquiry  has  been  started  on  the  East,  Korth  and  South 
sides,  for  enlarged  yards  near  Union  Station,  for  wider  facilities  along  the 
right  of  way  of  the  Belt  Line  and  for  properties  along  the  river  front,  from 
the  Ctiain  of  Bocks  to  Jefferson  Barracks. 

Millions  of  dollars  are  being  expended  by  the  railroads,  and  their 
schemes  of  enlargement  in  St.  Louis  and  the  appropriations  announced 
have  already  had  a  material  effect  in  enhancing  values  of  real  estate  and 
causing  a  westward  trend  among  the  business  houses  east  of  Second  street 
now  obliged  to  seek  new  quarters. 

One  of  the  first  noticeable  effects  of  the  movement  from  the  river  is  the 
demand  for  sites  for  wholesale  houses  and  manufactories  between  the  river 
and  Twelfth  street,  from  Chouteau  to  Cass  avenues,  and  for  renting 
hitherto  unused  structures,  which  from  lack  of  repairs  or  for  other  reasons 
have  been  allowed  to  remain  vacant  until  the  new  and  sudden  demand 
sprung  up.  The-late-in-the-year  revival,  due  to  the  railroads  buying,  is 
indeed  one  of  the  striking  features  of  the  closing  days  of  1902. 

Studying  local  conditions,  prospectively,  these  immense  interests  with 
steel,  stone,  brick  and  mortar  have  planned  to  secure  yard  room,  switching 
facilities,  office  room  and  freight  stations  beyond  the  limits  set  by  the 
prophets.  The  East  end  will  see  grand  old  buildings  wrecked  to  make 
room  for  the  needs  and  requirements  of  these  railroads,  anxious  to  secure 
an  entrance  to  St.  Louis.  As  newer  districts  are  opened  up,  the  older  ones 
will  be  rebuilt,  following  in  due  course,  the  general  expansion.  These 
changes  necessitate  the  acquirement  of  much  additional  property,  all 
indicating  a  systematic  and  thorough  movement  pointing  to  the  develop- 
ment of  a  city  of  over  a  million  people;  St.  Louis  is  the  gate-way  to  the 
great  Southwest,  and  its  strides  are  daily  becoming  more  apparent.

The  transfers  for  the  year  1902  aggregate  $45,123,136;  those  of  1901

T&ADS  JlKD  COHmBCE  OP 


The  renUl  muket  has  eioelled  Ita  record  of  ihe  prerions  year.  Renting 
has  been  unuenally  good  and  ttaoagh  tenants  found  more  dwellings  and 
flaU  to  suit  Uietr  needs  tban  in  the  year  previous  (as  a  great  number  of 
such  Btractures  were  erected  during  the  year),  the  demand  still  exceeds  the 
supply.  When  dwellings  were  In  good  rep^  no  trouble  was  exi)erlenced 
in  keeping  them  tenanted.  Hoderate -sized  dwellings  are  still  scarce,  but 
building  permits  for  this  class  of  houses  are  being  issued  in  numbers  that 
will  no  doubt  supply  the  demand  during  the  coming  year. 

Noteworthy  as  showing  with  what  sturdy  strides  has  been  the  advance 
In  business  property,  has  been  the  orgajiization  of  several  companies 
expressly  for  the  purpose  of  buying  or  leasing  and  Improving  comers  In 
the  business  district.  Men  known  for  their  sagacity  as  Investors  have 
taken  freely  of  stock  in  close  corporations  formed  with  the  idea  of  control- 
ling eligible  comers  and  Improying  them  with  modern  structures,  to  be 
leased  out  at  rentals  based  on  Increasing  worth,  year  by  year. 

Tenants  have  been  found  for  most  of  these  structures  before  completion. 
They  have  kept  apace  with  the  builders,  anxious  to  add  to  the  permanent 
improvement  of  the  business  center  of  St.  Louis  —  the  section  between 
Eighteenth,  Franklin  and  Chouteau  avenues  and  the  river.  The  avidity 
with  which  all  vacant  property  In  this  area  has  been  taken  up  of  late, 
especially  that  close  to  the  railroads  and  on  the  main  avenues  of  commerce, 
shows  the  confidence  that  abides  in  those  who  find  real  estate  the  surest  of 
investments. 

BDILDDIQ  OFBBATIOMS. 

Over  1,400  brick  and  over  1,600  frame  houses  were  erected  in  1903. 
That  they  represent  a  listed  cost  of  over  $12,000,000  gives  an  approxlmatf  on 
of  the  amount  of  building  rolled  ap  to  the  credit  of  St.  Louis.  As  is  well 
known,  permits  are  based  on  first  estimates  and  represent  much  short  of  the 
EtctUBl  value  of  the  premises  which  they  are  designed  to  cover. 

THK  NEW  F08T0FFICK. 

One  of  the  big  enterprises  projected  is  one  in  which  the  United  States 
Government  will  be  the  buyer  of  really.  A  new  postofflce  structure,  repre- 
senting an  investment  of  $500,000  will  be  reared  in  the  vicinity  of  the  Union 
Station.  Several  sites  have  been  offered  and  as  soon  as  the  preliminaries 
have  been  completed,  this  important  addition  to  the  city's  public  buildings, 
and  one  showing  Indisputably  the  growth  of  St  Louis,  will  lend  additional 
dlgnll^  to  that  busy  section  of  the  city. 

NEED  FOB  HOTELS. 

One  of  the  greatest  problems  of  the  year— and  one  which  has  been 
emphasized  in  oral  and  printed  speeches— has  been  the  planning  and  con- 
straction  of  hotels. 

Favored  for  hotel  sites  are  the  districts  near  Forest  Park,  the  main  center 
thoroughfares  like  Grand  avenue  and  Elngshfghway,  the  districts  near  the 


THE  OTTY  OP  ST.  LOUIS.  50 

retail,  wbolesale  and  jobbing  center.  A  dozen  eligible  downtown  comers 
haye  been  discussed  for  hotel  purposes,  some  with  theatre  enterprises 
joined.  The  dlfiQculty  In  getting  steel,  has,  the  promoters  say,  retarded 
many  plans,  though  the  advices  Indicating  enlargement  of  steel  plants  to 
meet  the  extraordinary  growth  of  orders,  give  hope  that  steel  contracts  can 
be  carried  out  In  a  way  to  encourage  builders  who  wish  to  get  quick  action 
on  their  enterprises. 

The  demand  for  hotels  Is  not  essentially  a  World^s  Fair  necessity.  A 
local  growing  need  for  more  rooms  has  existed  for  seyeral  years,  due  to  the 
eyer-increaslng  visits  of  traveling  men,  merchants  and  buyers,  tourists  and 
the  tendency  among  some  classes  to  prefer  hotels  and  apartment  houses  for 
resldental  purposes. 

In  the  past  St.  Louis  has  been  known  as  the  city  of  homes,  which,  like 
Philadelphia,  takes  pride  In  Its  thousands  of  dwellings,  modest  or  preten- 
tious, with  none  of  the  cramped,  yardless  street  fronts  so  characteristic  of 
many  Eastern  cities. 

The  demand  will,  however,  from  all  Indications  be  met  promptly  and 
efficiently  since  St.  Loulsans  have  come  out  boldly  and  announced  their 
intention  of  erecting  a  number  of  hostelries. 

A88B8SM3ENTS. 

The  assessed  values  of  all  real  estate  this  year  is  much  larger  than  any 
previous  year  in  the  city^s  history.  As  a  matter  of  course,  therefore,  the 
revenue  from  taxation  for  all  purposes  will  be  greater  in  the  next  twelve 
months  than  ever  before. 

Assessed  values  of  all  properties,  as  determined  by  the  local  and  State 
Boards  of  Equalization,  aggregate  nearly  $500,000,000;  that  is  $418,044,475, 
as  compared  to  $394,722,704,  the  aggregate  of  a  year  ago,  or  an  increase  of 
$23,321,771  for  1902. 

At  the  rate  of  $1.95  on  the  $100  valuation  the  State,  public  schools  and 
municipality  will  derive  an  income  on  the  newly-established  values  of 
$8,131,085.    The  following  table  shows  the  assessments  since  1877 :

THE  WORliD^S  FAIR. 

As  month  by  month  the  World^s  Fair  draws  nearer,  the  immensity  of 
the  undertaking  and  its  importance  to  St.  Louis  becomes  more  apparent, 
and  calls  for  renewed  efforts  on  the  part  of  St.  Loulsans  in  the  work  of 


00  TKADS  AKD  COUMEBGE  OF 

prepuednesB.  The  work  so  far  accompliebed  has  bees  prodlg^oas  and  baf 
called  for  favorable  comment  from  all  parts  of  the  conntrr.  Yet  the  taak  it 
only  well  underway,  and  nnlted  and  effective  endeavor  is  needed  to  pnt  the 
olty  In  ehspe  for  the  reception  of  the  hundredB  of  thousands  of  visitors 
who  will  come  here  during  the  next  two  years. 

Hnch  has  been  done  in  the  way  of  civic  improvement;  the  enlarge- 
ment of  city  invtitutions,  the  general  planting  of  trees  and  the  regulation 
of  emoke  baa  called  for  the  best  thought  on  the  part  of  those  who  have  the 
public  welfare  in  band. 

The  Fair  has  so  far  brought  much  outside  capital  to  St.  Louis  and  a 
large  Influx  of  foreign  visitors.  It  has  created  new  views  and  new  judg- 
ment on  Oie  trend  of  improvement,  because  each  heavy  investmeni 
represents  a  stated  amount  of  confidence  and  has  induced  others  to  pledge 
their  judgment  for  profit  on  the  outlook.  In  reality  the  force  of  example 
is  strong  and  whenever  a  new  structure  la  put  up  history  shows  that  It  has 
been  followed  in  rapid  succession  by  others,  as  though  money  wanted  such 
encouragement.    Co-operation  Is  a  prime  factor  in  really  investments. 

To  all  Inquiries,  and  they  have  come  from  home  and  abroad  —  the 
officials  of  the  Exchange  have  sent  prompt  and  explicit  data,  and  on  file 
are  many  letters  showing  how  widespread  has  the  fame  of  St.  IiOuis  lieoome 
through  the  Influence  of  the  Fair. 

INFLCEMCK  OF  THB  BXCHANSB. 

The  hold  which  the  St.  Louis  Beal  Estate  Exchange  has  upon  the  com- 
munity  and  upon  the  membership  has  been  strengthened  by  the  manifest 
value  to  the  city  of  the  organized  interests  represented  therein.  One  of  the 
most  effective  steps  taken  to  improve  the  interests  which  the  Exchange 
stands  over  as  a  conservator,  is  the  practice  of  having  sales  of  realty,  hith- 
erto held  at  the  Court  House  door,  held  on  the  floor  of  the  Exchange.  The 
custom  has  been  found  so  much  of  an  improvement  over  the  old  way  that 
It  is  believed  It  will  be  the  vogue  entirely  tiefore  long.  Buyers  and  selleis 
have  at  their  disposal,  free  of  charge,  the  Exchange,  with  rostrum  and 
telephone  facllitiee  and  the  advantage  of  nearness  to  the  heart  of  the  real 
eetat«  district.  It  has  been  noted  that  this  in  iUelf  adds  to  the  number  of 
bidders  and  the  keenness  of  the  competition. 


THE  SHOE  TRADE. 

From  the  Shoe  and  JJeather  Qaiebw. 

The  year's  business  In  the  St.  Louis  wholesale  shoe  district  has  been 
highly  satisfactory,  and  In  spite  of  the  untoward  prospects  of  a  year  ago, 
shipments  were  almost  8^  above  the  former  high  water  mark,  which  was 
set  by  the  trade  in  1901. 

The  great  Impetus  given  to  local  shoe  manufacturing  can  be  judged 
from  the  fact  that  while  receipts  of  shoes  In  St.  Iiouls  from  outside  points 


THE  OITY  OF  ST.  LOUIS.  61 

fell  off  about  260^000  cases  In  1902^  as  compared  with  1901,  the  outgoing 
shipments  were  80^281  cases  ahead  of  the  record  of  1901.  The  trade  was 
supplied  with  a  much  larger  proportion  of  St.  Louis  made  shoes. 

The  records  of  the  Merchants'  Exchange  show  the  following  figures  of 
shipments  for  each  month  of  the  two  years  last  past :

Total 1,070,960  1,161,231 

Increase 80,281 

Only  three  months  in  the  year  failed  to  show  a  gain  in  shipments  com- 
pared with  1901. 

That  shipments  for  the  year  have  made  such  a  gain  is  particularly  a  mat- 
ter of  felicitation  with  the  St.  Louis  houses  when  it  is  considered  that  the 
effects  of  extreme  drought  of  1901  naturally  projected  themselves  into  the 
early  part  of  1902^  and  were  reflected  in  business  conditions  in  a  portion  of 
the  country  in  which  St.  Louis  is  almost  centrally  located^  and  where  her 
shoe  trade  is  especially  strong.  Many  retail  merchants  were  very  much 
"  down  in  the  mouth  "  a  year  ago,  and  the  big  crops  of  this  year  were 
needed  to  restore  the  equilibrium  of  retail  trade. 

That  the  rapid  increase  in  local  manufacturing  facilities  has  had  a  pow- 
erful influence  on  the  receipts  department  of  the  Merchants'  Exchange 
records  of  shoes,  is  apparent  from  a  comparison  of  the  differences  between 
1901  and  1902.  It  is  of  course  impossible  to  get  an  exact  comparison, 
because  the  comparative  state  of  stocks  held  in  the  wholesale  houses  cannot 
be  gotten  at. 

However,  the  gap  between  a  shortage  of  250,000  cases  in  receipts  from 
outside,  and  an  increase  of  80,000  cases  in  total  shipments  out  of  St.  Louis, 
is  big  enough  to  cover  all  probable  decrease  in  stocks  (if  there  is  any)  and 
to  still  leave  thousands  of  cases  —  several  millions  of  pairs, — that  can  be 
credited  to  increased  local  manufacture. 

This  decrease  in  receipts  from  outside  has  a  direct  connection  with  the 
decrease  in  shipments  from  Boston,  of  which  shoe  supplying  center 
St.  Louis  has  been  the  largest  individual  customer. 

Not  all  the  shoes  which  reach  St.  Louis  from  outside  sources  come  from 
the  Boston  district.    Several  new  manufacturing   centers  have  become 


02  TRADB  AND  COMMSBOS  07 

prominent  in  furnishing  a  supply  of  those  shoes  which  comprise  the  job- 
bing  shipments. 

The  shipments  to  points  outside  the  United  States  continue  to  increase^ 
although  they  cannot  be  presented  in  tabulated  form.  Especially  in  Mex- 
ico and  the  West  Indies  have  local  firms  pushed  American  shoes.  Condi- 
tions of  exchange  are  an  impediment,  to  some  degree,  but  this  trouble  is 
likely  to  be  diminished  in  time. 


ST.  LOUIS  IMPLEMENT  AND  VEHICLE  TRADE  IN  190a. 

From  Farm  Machinery  and  Vehicle  Trade. 


The  year  now  closing  will  be  memorable  for  the  large  volume  of  business 
transacted  by  St.  Louis  houses  engaged  in  the  manufacture  and  sale  of 
implements  and  vehicles.  They  havC;  as  a  rule,  participated  to  the  fullest 
extent  in  the  general  prosperity  and  trade  activity  with  which  the  country 
has  been  blessed  and  though  they  encountered  a  few  factors,  as  is  the  case 
every  year,  that  militated  against  perfect  results,  the  outcome  of  business 
for  1902  is  considered  eminently  satisfactory. 

Owing  to  the  prolonged  drouth  during  the  summer  of  1901  in  Missouri 
and  other  sections  tributary  to  this  market,  a  large  number  of  dealers  in 
the  St.  Louis  territory  last  year  curtailed  seriously  their  purchases  of 
implements  and  vehicles— especially  the  latter,  and  the  advent  of  1902  found 
their  stocks  extremely  depleted.  With  the  opening  of  the  present  year, 
favorable  weather  conditions  encouraged  the  planting  of  heavy  crops  in  the 
regions  that  had  suffered  from  lack  of  rain  in  the  previous  summer.  The 
farmers,  notwithstanding  losses  and  disappointment  resulting  from  the 
drouth  alluded  to,  commenced  early  and  vigorous  preparations  this  year  to 
recover  lost  ground.  This  stimulated  the  demand  for  such  farming  tools 
as  are  required  in  the  preliminary  stages  of  agricultural  operations — ^such 
as  plows,  seeders  and  harrows.  As  the  season  advanced  and  the  growing 
crops  gave  promise  of  a  boimtiful  yield,  there  arose  an  exceptionally  grati- 
fying call  for  other  kinds  of  implements  needed  in  cultivating  and  in 
preparing  the  crops  for  harvesting.  This  was  succeeded  by  heavy  orders 
for  machines  that  handle  the  crops  in  the  last  stages  and  finally  ^e  local 
establishments  were  called  upon  for  extensive  shipments  of  grinding  and 
feed  mills,  com  buskers,  fodder  shredders  and  goods  of  a  similar  character. 

In  the  meanwhile  there  was  unusual  animation  in  the  movement  of  farm 
wagons,  threshing  outfits,  gasoline  and  traction  engines  and  heavy  agri- 
cultural machinery  in  general.  In  the  latter  class  of  merchandise  some 
houses  report  gains  of  30  to  40%  over  the  business  of  any  preceding  year. 

As  a  market  for  implements  and  vehicles,  St.  Louis  continues  to  advance 
in  importance  and  there  are  many  indications  that  increasing  patronage  in 
these  lines  will  flow  here  with  each  succeeding  year.   The  annual  St.  Louis 


THS  0IT7  07  ST.  LOXHS.  63 

Fair^  held  last  October,  served  to  attract  an  unusual  number  of  prominent 
exhibitorB  of  farming  appliances,  and  many  vebicle  and  implement  dealers 
likewise  displayed  their  interest  in  St.  Louis  and  the  Fair  by  attending  in 
large  numbers.  The  closing  week  of  the  year  is  marked  by  a  large  influx 
of  dealers,  who  are  visiting  this  city  in  response  to  invitations  extended  to 
them  by  the  local  houses.  Their  presence  and  the  courtesies  shown  them 
will  result  in  lasting  benefit  in  a  business  way. 


PAINTS,  OILS  AND  DRUGS. 

By  Abthub  Davis,  Secretary  St.  Louis  Paint,  Oil  and  Drug  Olub. 


Regarding  the  year  just  closed,  the  general  prosperity  of  the  industries 
of  the  country  has  been  participated  in  by  those  engaged  in  manufacturing 
and  jobbing  paints,  oils  and  drugs.  The  business  may  be  summed  up  as 
generally  satisfactory.  Demand  has  not  been  extraordinarily  heavy,  but 
prices  have  remahied  firm  and  the  entire  tone  of  the  trade  healthy.  Taking 
all  things  into  consideration  it  is  really  surprising  how  great  a  volume  of 
business  has  been  done  in  the  staples  like  white  lead,  zinc,  oils,  etc.,  and 
all  at  top  prices.  In  some  lines  there  has  been  actual  difficulty  in  filling 
orders,  owing  to  the  fact  that  stocks  were  heavily  drawn  upon  during  the 
summer  months,  and  the  problem  of  transportation  has  been  uncertain. 
Strikes  among  the  painters  in  St.  Louis  effected  trade  for  weeks  during  the 
active  paint  season  in  St.  Louis  in  the  spring.  There  has  been  littie  or  no 
complaints  as  to  orders,  profits  or  collections,  though  the  amount  of  money 
hi  circulation  seems  to  be  less  than  the  legitimate  need  of  business 
requirements. 

The  demand  for  the  higher  grades  of  paints  during  the  past  year  has 
been  unprecedented,  showing  conclusively  that  the  inferior  grades  of  paint 
are  not  considered  profitable  or  desirable  by  the  general  public.  Prices  for 
higher  grade  have  been  $1.26  to  $1.35  per  gallon  to  the  dealer. 

The  volume  of  business  for  the  year  in  white  lead  has  been  large,  and 
the  manufacturers  have  had  all  they  could  do  to  supply  the  demand.  Since 
December  1901,  the  price  has  remained  without  change,  namely,  6  cents 
per  pound  for  600  pound  lots,  and  J4  cent  rebate  to  buyers  of  12  tons  or 
over.  The  steadiness  of  the  market  is  largely  accounted  for  by  the  price 
of  crude  material,  pig  lead. 

Pure  Linseed  Oil,  which  is  an  important  factor  in  the  paint  business 
remained  steady  from  June  to  July,  viz :  From  69  to  61  cents  per  gallon, 
but  declined  since  August  1st,  ruling  in  August  about  67  to  60  cents; 
September,  60  to  66  cents;  October,  43  to  46  cents;  November,  43  to  46 
cents ;  December,  46  to  46  cents.  These  quotations  are  in  barrels  and  are 
higher  than  in  previous  years.    Less  adulterated  oil  has  been  used  the  past 


64  TRADE  AND  OOMMEBCE  OF 

year  than  prevloasly,  and  the  vice  of  adulteration  in  this  article  has  been 
fought  earnestly.  The  volume  of  business  in  drugs  has  been  of  good  pro- 
portion, the  market  prices  have  been  firm  and  there  has  been  a  very  fair 
consuming  outlet  throughout  the  year. 


STOVES  AND  HARDWARE. 

From  Stores  and  Hardware  Reporter. 


STOTBS  AND  RANGES. 

The  stove  business  of  the  past  year  cannot  be  said  by  even  the  most 
pessimistic  to  have  been  othar  than  good.  Some  of  the  stove  men  of  the 
great  center  of  western  trade  —  St.  Louis  —  declare  that  it  is  the  best  that 
has  ever  been  known.  This  is  probably  true  as  to  volume,  though  one  of 
the  highest  authorities  among  stove  manufacturers,  possessing  keenest 
judgment  and  forsight,  but  with  a  strong  leaning  to  the  conservative  side, 
characterizes  it  by  the  happy  expression :  **A  normal  year  among  good 
years.''  Taking  the  general  run  of  the  retail  trade  the  stove  business  has 
been  more  profitable  to  the  dealer  than  to  the  manufacturer  or  jobber. 
The  advance  in  prices  during  the  year,  aggregating  about  15%,  has  not 
been  equal  to  the  advance  in  cost  of  materials  and  labor. 

Novelties  of  any  account  there  were  none.  In  fact  American  ranges, 
BtoveS;  heaters  and  furnaces  have  reached  a  stage  so  near  perfection  that 
only  very  minor  changes  and  improvements  can  be  expected. 

There  was  a  considerable  increase  in  the  exportation  of  stoves  and 
ranges.  The  conclusion  of  the  war  in  South  Africa  brought  a  large 
demand  from  that  country.  There  was  too  an  increase  in  the  export  to 
England  and  also  to  Germany,  which  latter  could  hardly  have  been 
expected,  remembering  the  trade  depression  existing  in  that  country,  but 
the  American  range  and  heater  have  taken  a  firm  hold  upon  the  regard  of 
Germans.  Three  winters  ago  we  visited  the  G^rmania  Museum  at  Nuer- 
emberg,  this  contains  a  unique  and  most  extensive  collection  of  the  famous 
German  tile  stoves,  but  the  only  stoves  we  saw  in  use  to  warm  the  place, 
were  some  American  cast  iron  heaters,  with  the  name  of  a  well  known 
American  manufacturer  prominently  displayed  on  the  castings. 

HARDWARE. 

The  hardware  trade  shared  fully  in  the  prosperity  of  the  country,  up  to 
the  very  last  week  of  the  year.  In  point  of  fact  the  business  in  December, 
which  is  usually  weak,  on  account  of  holidays,  was  greater  than  in  Novem- 
ber. The  volume  of  business  has  been  greater  in  1902  than  in  any  preced- 
ing year.  This  applies  to  all  the  subdivlBions,  such  as  wire,  nails,  etc., 
and  prices  have  been  very  firm  with  the  exception  of  some  lines  that  have 
been  ^^  controlled ''  and  reductions  were  made,  presumably  for  the  pur- 
pose of  crushing  competition.  There  was  an  increased  demand  from 
foreign  markets  for  many  of  our  specialties,  such  as  ornamental  metal 
work,  locks,  candlesticks,  wire  cloth,  etc. 


<  THB  CITY  OF  ST.  LOUIS.  65 

DRY  GOODS  AND  KINDRED  LINES. 

From  the  Drygoodsman  and  General  Merchant. 


DBT  GOODS. 

The  wholesale  dry  goods  trade  of  8t.  Louis  has  f  ally  retained  the  in- 
crease recorded  in  previous  years,  and  added  a  good  percentage  in  the  year 
1902,  the  increase  being  estimated  from  20  to  25%  over  that  of  1901,  making 
a  total  output  somewhere  between  $120^000,000  and  $126,000,000. 

A  number  of  establishments  found  It  necessary  to  increase  their  selling 
space  and  warehouse  accommodations^  new  buildings  have  been  completed, 
and  others  are  now  under  construction  to  accommodate  the  growing  needs^ 
thus  showing  in  a  most  substantial  manner  the  growth  of  the  trade  and 
the  confidence  in  its  ability  to  maintain  and  increase  previous  business. 

The  supremacy  of  the  market  in  the  territory  now  covered  by  the 
wholesale  dry  goods  trade  of  St.  Louis  has  been,  if  anything,  more  firmly 
established. 

The  advance  orders  already  booked  by  the  wholesale  dry  goods  trade 
for  delivery  during  the  spring  months  for  1903,  are  the  largest  in  volume 
ever  recorded,  thus  indicating  a  healthy  demand  that  will  no  doubt  con- 
tinue well  into  the  year,  when  the  prospects  of  another  harvest  will  become 
a  factor  for  future  operations.  A  larger  volume  of  business  for  the  first 
half  of  1903  may  with  confidence  be  looked  for  than  was  had  in  the  first 
half  of  1902,  which  was  to  some  extend  affected  by  the  drought  of  1901. 

HATS  AND  OAFS. 

Reviewing  the  trade  during  the  past  twelve  months,  its  chief  and  pecu- 
liar feature  has  been  a  tendency  to  the  introduction  of  marked  and  odd 
styles  in  head-wear,  which  has  rendered  necessary  exceeding  caution  upon 
the  part  of  all  users  of  hats  from  the  factory  to  the  consumer.  These 
styles  are  rapidly  developing  other  **  freak '^  ideas,  to  the  end  that  it  is 
almost  impossible  to  anticipate  the  tendency  of  fashion. 

The  demand  for  high-grade  goods  is  constantly  growing,  and  a  stan- 
dard of  quality  is  insisted  upon  as  a  result  of  healthy  trade  conditions  and 
an  abundance  of  money.  The  Panama  hat  was  a  sort  of  barometer 
explaining  these  conditions,  and  the  demand  for  these  hats  at  unheard-of 
prices  illustrated  the  tendency  of  the  times. 

All  conditions  have  been  fully  satisfied  as  a  result  of  the  yearns  work  in 
the  hat  and  cap  trade.  Progress  is  being  rapidly  made  in  the  development 
of  local  factories,  and  the  production  of  silk  hats,  opera  hatS;  novelties  in 
caps,  etc.,  has  been  a  feature  of  the  year's  business. 

MILLINEBT. 

Reviewing  the  wholesale  millinery  trade  of  St.  Louis  for  the  year  1902, 
I  take  pleasure  in  making  the  statement  that  1902  has  been  a  prosperous 
year  with  the  millinery  jobbers,  and  that  the  volume  of  business^  aggre- 
gating many  millions,  was  largely  augmented  during  the  past  year.

The  trend  of  the  wholesale  millineiy  bnainess  dniing  the  year  1903  was 
favorable  to  St.  Louis  market,  its  enlargement,  territorial  extenBion,  and 
the  friendly  dispoBition  on  the  part  of  the  trade  towards  St.  Louis.  The 
St.  Louis  millinery  jobbers  affiliated  harmoniously  for  the  advanoement  of 
their  marlcet,  and  having  wisely  eliminated  the  oosUy  evils  and  abuses  of 
the  days  gone  by,  have  placed  the  wholesale  millinery  business  squarely 
on  a  modem  basis,  '^the  best  value  for  the  least  money,'^  and  with  enlarged 
stocks  and  greater  facilities  to  quickly  distribute  the  choicest  articles  of 
fashion  over  the  vast  territories  have  made  it  possible  for  St.  Louis  to 
become  so  great  a  factor  in  the  distribution  of  millinery,  second  to  none 
among  the  leading  markets  of  our  country. 

CLOAKS. 

With  the  close  of  the  past  year  the  St.  Louis  cloak  market  wound  up  a 
season  of  unprecedented  activity,  which  placed  it  in  the  front  rank  of 
manufacturing  and  distributing  centers.  Styles  were  closely  studied  and 
no  market  in  the  country  showed  a  wider  range.  Quality  was  the  first 
consideration,  and  the  highest  standard  possible  for  popular  priced  gar- 
ments was  attained. 

The  trade  that  flowed  into  the  city  through  natural  channels  was  greatly 
increased  by  the  number  of  new  buyers  that  visited  this  market.  The  sum 
total  of  the  year's  business  was  augmented  in  no  small  way  by  the  success- 
ful invasion  of  territory  formerly  not  considered  commercially  ours. 

The  extremely  satisfactory  condition  in  which  we  find  ourselves  at  the 
close  of  the  year's  business  stimulates  our  every  effort  for  the  season  that 
is  to  come.  Preparations  for  the  spring  business  are  on  a  greater  scale 
than  ever  attempted  heretofore,  and  with  last  year  as  a  criterion  the  trade 
can  look  to  this  market  for  a  fulfillment  of  its  future  wants  with  assurance 
and  confidence. 


GROCERIES. 

By  BOBBBT  B.  ham.  Editor  Interstate  Qrooer. 


St.  Louis  has  had  an  unusually  successful  year  in  groceries.  This  is 
due  to  two  conditions,  one  of  which  is  common  to  all  interests  located  in 
this  market.  That  one  is  the  general  prosperity  that  has  been  felt  to  a 
larger  degree  in  the  West  than  in  any  other  section  of  the  United  States. 
It  is  a  patent  fact  that  the  necessaries  of  life  are  the  first  to  feel  the  effects 
of  depressions  and  prosperous  periods  as  well.  That  is  to  say,  people 
never  stop  eating  hog  and  hominy,  and  in  times  of  depression  they  eat 
largely  of  these  staples  so  famed  in  prose  and  poetry.  But,  in  such  times, 
they  do  not  eat  of  olives  and  pate  de  foie  gras  with  truffles.  The  year  1902 
was  a  year  of  olives  and  pate  de  foie  gras  with  truffles.    There  were  more

year  of  pro«perltf . 

Tife  otlier  reaaoii  for  the  biereaM  of  sale*  of  food  j^odtrcti  from  the 
St.  Louis  market  during  190d»  was  the  fact  that  the  wholesalers  have  been 
pirtttng  rtrenneus  efforts  forth  to  make  this  the  leading  grocery  market  of 
the  world. 

It  is  a  well  known  fact  that  St.  Louis  still  has  too  many  wholesale 
houses  in  the  groeery  line  for  the  volume  of  business  transacted  from  here. 
This  condition  contributes  to  make  St.  Louis  the  cheapest  grocery  market 
in  the  world.  The  more  than  fierce  competition  for  trade  leads  the  com- 
batants to  put  prices  at  the  lowest  possible  figure,  and  the  retailers  in  the 
sorronnding  territory  get  the  benefit. 

These  conditions  are,  in  a  measure,  beginning  to  right  themselves.  On 
the  last  of  the  year  two  of  the  largest  wholesale  grocery  houses  in  the  city 
were  merged  into  one,  the  combined  capitalization  being  put  into  the  new 
business.  Within  a  few  weeks  there  will  be  another  combination  that  will 
merge  two  or  three  of  the  well  known  German  houses  into  one.  There 
have  within  four  years  treen  a  dozen  consolidations  of  this  kind  which 
Ittve  reduced  the  number  of  wholesale  grocery  houses  from  fifty  to  a  bare 
twenty-nine. 

The  volume  of  business  handled  by  the  St.  Louis  grocery  market  is 
much  greater  than  during  1901,  and  the  prospects  for  the  coming  year  are 
that  a  still  greater  amount  of  business  wiU  come  to  the  World's  Fair  dty. 
The  statistics  that  are  given  are  taken  from  the  records  of  the  St.  Louis 
Merchants'  Exchange.

Sugars  are  not  shipped  in  hogsheads  in  these  days,  hence  the  decrease. 
There  was  also  a  slight  falling  off,  due  to  the  fact  that  there  was  little 
home  canning  of  fruits  during  the  year,  owing  to  the  scarcity  of  small 
fruits.  The  heavily  increased  city  business  in  St.  Louis  has  taken  up  a 
considerable  quanti^  of  sugar.

St  Louis  has  become  a  great  distributing  point  for  coffee,  and  houses 
here  are  now  shipping  green  coffee  to  the  East  and  to  the  West  of  here.

TRADE  AND  OOlfMEBOE  OF 


There  has  be«ii  a  slight  falling  off  in  receipts  of  coffee,  due  to  the  large 
oarry-oyer  from  the  previous  year,  which  was  due  in  turn  to  the  very  un- 
settled state  of  the  coffee  market  at  primaiy  points.  Coffees  have  shown 
a  bear  tendency  throughout  the  year,  with  prospects  ahead  for  still  lower 
prices  for  the  coming  year.  The  shipments  of  coffee  show  a  marked 
increase.

quantity  of  these  goods  that  are  shipped  out^  after  repacking,  in  small

There  was  a  considerable  carry-over  of  rice  from  1900,  but  the  figures 
here  given  show  an  increase.  The  shipments,  it  will  be  seen,  are  largely 
increased.  This  is  owing  to  the  campaign  of  education  that  the  rice 
growers  are  pursuing,  which  is  wonderfully  increasing  the  consumption  of 
this  staple.  St.  Louis  is  feeling  the  effects  of  this  as  much  as  any  city  in 
the  country.    The  figures  show  it.

There  have  been  peculiar  conditions  in  the  tea ,  market  this  year.  In 
July  Congress  removed  the  war  tax  of  10  cents  a  pound  to  take  effect  on 
January  1st.  Owing  to  this  buyers  of  tea  were  as  close  in  their  purchases 
as  possible.  In  fact,  at  times,  there  was  such  a  scarcity  of  tea  as  to  en- 
danger a  famine.  Great  quantities  of  tea  were,  however,  stored  in  gov- 
ernment warehouses,  and  on  January  1st,  when  the  tax  was  removed,  this 
was  taken  out  and  the  1903  report  will  show  a  remarkable  increase  in 


THE  CITY  OF  ST.  LOUIS.  GO 

receipts  and  in  shipments  as  well.  Tea  prices  are  not  much  lower  than 
before  the  remoTal  of  the  tax,  because  prices  have  been  put  up  in  the 
primary  markets  and  better  grades  are  being  imported. 

OEKKRAL  LINES. 

There  are  no  available  figures  on  which  a  close  estimate  of  the  average 
percentage  of  increase  can  be  based,  but  the  estimate  of  well  posted 
wholesalers  is  timely.  They  say  that  St.  Louis  during  1902  did  from  20  to 
X%  more  business  in  groceries  than  during  the  previous  year.  The 
coming  year  should  show  better  than  this,  for  if  there  was  ever  a  time 
-when  the  wholesale  grocers  of  St.  Louis  have  '^  hustled  '*  for  old  business 
in  old  territories  and  for  new  business  in  new  territories  it  will  be  during 
the  year  1903.

FURNITURE. 

By  Gsa  T.  Pabkbb,  Secretery  St.  Louis  Farnltare  Board  of  Trade. 


The  opening  of  the  permanent  Furniture  Exposition  in  St.  Louis,  marks 
an  era  of  progress  in  the  business  and  is  the  most  distinguishing  feature  of 
the  year.  Installed  in  a  fine  eight  story  buildings  erected  especially  for  the 
purpose  at  Thirteenth  and  Locust,  St.  Louis  furniture  interests  take  rank 
with  New  York,  Chicago  and  Grand  Bapids,  magnifying  more  than  ever 
before,  the  importance  of  St.  Louis  as  the  furniture  market  for  the  great 
Southwest. 

There  has  been  a  great  development  of  business  in  new  territory^  made 
tributary  to  St.  Louis  by  the  completion  of  new  railroad  systems,  which 
has  resulted  in  business  having  been  transacted  in  a  greater  number  of 
cities  and  over  a  greater  area  than  ever  before,  although  there  are  parts  of 
this  new  territory  which  are  almost  unsettled,  the  introduction  of  St.  Louis 
furniture  there  has  been  made,  and  the  business  will  grow  with  the  localities. 

The  year  of  1902  has  been  one  of  great  activity  in  manufacturing,  there 
has  been  no  cessation.  It  has  been  a  repetition  of  previous  recent  years, 
with  improved  machinery,  bettered  system  resulting  in  enlarged  production 
at  a  minimizing  of  expense.  The  building  of  new  factories  and  extensions 
to  old,  have  increased  the  facilities  20%,  and  these  have  all  been  of  a  per- 
manent character  and  not  provided  for  a  mere  temporary  use ;  and  the  trade 
of  the  year  develops  that  the  output  of  many  other  large  factories  could 
find  purchasers  here,  which  now  have  to  seek  it  in  other  localities. 

The  quality  at  St.  Louis  made  furniture,  as  shown  by  the  Exposition 
Bxhibits,  is  a  notable  advance  over  the  product  of  even  a  few  years  back, 
as  are  also  the  designs,  crudities  in  both  having  been  eliminated  to  supply 
the  demands  of  the  increased  education  of  taste  in  the  users.  This  citj 
should  have  more  factories,  the  need  of  lines  of  the  highest  grades  is 
apparent,  though  these  are  not  the  makers  of  great  quantities,  they  are 
needed  to  perfect  an  otherwise  almost  complete  assortment  supplied  by  the 
St.  Louis  factories.  The  market  is  deficient  in  school,  church  and  opera 
house  furniture  factories,  for  which  there  is  an  unusual  opportunity  for 
capital,  with  assured  business. 

The  sales  through  this  market,  including  those  of  retail  houses,  goods 
sold  here  though  manufactured  at  other  points,  are  estimated  at  $33,000,000. 

All  retail  houses  report  an  increasing  demand  for  the  better  grades  of 
both  cabinet  and  upholstered  furniture,  a  reflex  of  the  prosperous  condition 
of  the  surroaading  country  and  in  the  city ;  in  consequence  there  never  has 
been  shown  in  St.  Louis  such  an  expensive  stocks  of  goods  as  may  to-day  be 
found,  nor  are  they  excelled  for  variety  and  value  in  any  United  States  city. 

The  woods  used  in  furniture  manufacture  are  not  changed  from  last 
year,  mahogany  having  gained  in  popularity,  bird's  eye  maple,  curly 
birch  and  oak  being  the  woods  uAed  in  the  best  grades.  Ash  and  poplar 
are  used  here  in  extensive  quantities  for  cheaper  grades.    Metal  beds  have 


72  TRADE  AND  OOMMIBOE  OF 

gained  favor  and  are  having  a  large  sale.  St  LouIb  continaes  ttie  great 
hardwood  lumber  market  and  supplies  the  cabinet  woods — excepting 
mahogany — ^for  not  only  this,  but  other  furniture  manufacturing  centers. 
Prices  have  remained  uniformly  firm  throughout  the  year,  small  advances 
being  necessary  on  accoimt  of  the  increased  costs  of  lumber^  labor  and 
materials  entering  into  furniture  construction. 

The  completion  of  several  fine  trust  office  buildings  has  resulted  in  the 
installation  of  furnishings^  whose  elegance  is  not  excelled  in  this  or  other 
countries ;  these  expenditures  have  been  very  large  and  have  inculcated  a 
desire  on  the  part  of  office  men  to  abandon  decrepit  office  outfits  for  those 
of  modem  convenience.  Numerous  new  churches^  schools^  institutions  and 
small  hotels  have,  within  the  year  been  fitted  up^  adding  considerably  to 
the  aggregate  of  St.  Louis  business. 

The  number  of  our  factories  are  about  60,  employing  a  capital  of  about 
$4,000^000.  There  have  been  no  strikes  among  the  7,000  workmen  whose 
wages  it  is  estimated  equals  nearly  $4,000,000.  The  export  business  shows 
a  great  expansion  as  to  the  localities  reached,  a  large  demand  being  from 
South  Africa,  Sweden,  Japan,  besides  to  the  countries  which  have  become 
a  regular  field  for  St.  Louis  trade. 


FORBIQN  COMMERCE  OP  ST.  LOUIS. 

BylJAMBS  ABBUOKiiK,  Manager  Lathi- American  Olub  and  Foreign  Trade  Assn. 


In  compiling  information  regarding  the  foreign  exports  and  imports  of 
this  city,  it  is  difficult  to  procure  statistics  on  many  lines,  and  in  present- 
ing this  report  we  have  to  state  that  where  we  can  furnish  the  figures  we 
have  done  so,  and  in  other  cases  given  the  best  information  obtainable. 

Shipments  of  our  fiour  to  foreign  countries,  amounted  in  the  aggregate 
in  1902,  to  906,205  barrels.    Of  these  were  shipped  to—

There  was  exported  in  hond  to  various  countries  to  the  value  of  $489^486, 
a  total  of  660,296  gallons.  Our  heer  goes  to  all  countries  in  Latin- America, 
Philippines,  Japan,  China,  Australia  and  South  Africa,  East  Indies,  and 
occasionally  to  France  and  England.  St.  Louis  heer  is  highly  appreciated 
everywhere  that  it  is  consumed,  and  will  continue  to  he  an  important  factor 
in  cementing  kind  relations  with  all  nations.  One  St.  Louis  hrewery  alone 
made  sales  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  September  30th,  of  1,069,001  barrels, 
three-eighths  of  which,  279,801  barrels,  was  sold  in  bottles,  which  is  equiva- 
lent to  83,790,300  bottles. 

LATIN-AMEBICAN  TRADE. 

Our  trade  with  the  southern  countries,  except  Mexico,  has  not  come  up 
to  our  sanguine  expectations  of  a  year  ago.  There  are  forcible  reasons  for 
this.  Cuba  has  had  adverse  political  conditions  and  low  prices  for  her 
sugar,  her  main  article  of  export,  hence  her  buying  power  was  curtailed. 
With  Porto  Rico  and  the  other  West  Lidies  we  are  largely  increasing  our 
trade. 

Mexico  has  had  a  low  and  declining  price  for  her  silver,  the  main  pro- 
duct of  her  mountains  and  the  basis  of  her  monetary  system,  until  an 
importer  of  goods  into  that  country  finds  an  almost  prohibitory  rate  for 
gold  exchange,  and  hence  is  virtually  forced  to  stop  ordering  goods  and 
the  serious  question  arises  how  he  is  to  pay  his  debts.  With  a  reasonable 
rate  of  exchange  that  country  would  be  a  large  buyer  of  our  goods.  We 
need  hardly  state  that  should  silver  acquire  its  old  relative  value,  say 
approximately  200,  there  will  be  a  much  increased  and  active  business  with 
that  republic  immediately.  Mexico  within  itself  is  prosperous,  and  the 
country  is  developing  fast  to  higher  conditions,  and  with  more  of  the 
Anglo-Saxon  element  to  push  it  along,  we  may  look  for  great  and  phenom- 
enal development.  Mexico,  being  our  nearest  neighbor,  we  naturally  are 
more  interested  in  that  trade  than  any  other  country. 

We  have  steadily  made  headway,  and  from  1881,  when  the  exports  of 
the  United  States  were  only  $11,000,000,  they  have  increased  up  to  1902, 
nearly  thirty  millions.  This  has  been  largely  at  the  expense  of  European 
countries,  who  have  steadily  lost  ground,  with  the  exception  of  Germany 
and  Spain,  and  their  increase  has  been  very  small,  as  compared  with  ours. 

There  is  an  immense  amount  of  American  capital  now  invested  in  Mex- 
ico, some  estimate  as  high  as  $400,000,000.    This  naturally  influences  con-

getting  its  share  of  the  increasing  business,  and  our  commercial  trayellers 
are  conspicuous  in  all  the  main  cides  of  Mexico.  The  fact  that  we  have 
rapid  rail  communication  with  that  country  will  always  be  a  great  advan- 
tage for  this  city. 

Further  south  we  have  had  most  wretched  conditions  in  Guatemala  with 
a  government  in  bankruptcy^  their  fiscal  condition  deplorable,  and  the 
mercantile  classes  taxed  to  death  by  officials,  and  all  aggravated  by  the 
frequent  and  most  destructive  earthquakes,  destroying  territories  of  coffee 
plantations  and  utterly  ruining  cities  and  burying  their  inhabitants.  We 
stand  aghast  at  the  relation  of  horrors!  but  the  world  does  not  pause  for 
sentiment! 

The  conditions  in  Honduras,  El  Salvador,  Nicaragua  and  Costa  Blca 
are  somewhat  better,  but  still  the  factor  of  a  depreciated  government 
currency  is  still  in  evidence  and  hinders  trade,  especially  with  the  world 
outside.  Some  two  years  ago,  the  President  of  Costa  Rica,  made  some 
arrangement  in  London,  whereby  this  little  country  put  itself  on  a  gold 
basis,  and  business  therefore  with  this  Republic,  seems  easy  to  effect. 

Colombia  has  been  in  the  throes  of  civil  strife  for  nearly  three  years. 
Hence  the  business  has  been  limited  to  the  coast  cities,  and  in  these  it  has 
almost  been  paralyzed.  The  government  paper  money  which  is  based  on 
silver  has  gone  to  a  veiy  low  rate.  Shipments  of  coffee  and  other  of  its 
products  have  been  very  small  during  that  period.  Our  exports  there  have 
also  been  very  small. 

Venezuela  has  been  in  a  like  condition,  and  although  the  country  is 
nominally  on  a  gold  basis,  the  government  has  issued  paper  currency, 
which  has  now  a  very  reduced  value.  Business  is  almost  at  a  standstill, 
and  no  confidence  exists  either  in  commercial  or  banking  circles.  Consid- 
erable St.  Louis  flour  and  other  articles  were  formerly  shipped  to  many 
points  of  this  country,  but  now  exports  there,  are  a  mere  bagatelle. 

Brazil,  to  whom  we  formerly  shipped  large  quantities  of  flour,  has  de- 
creased her  purchases  from  us,  and  buys  now  largely  from  Argentine,  and 
although  occasionally  a  round  lot  is  bought  in  our  market,  it  is  done  in 
competition  with  the  River  Platte  product.  There  is  a  wonderful  field  to 
sell  our  products  in  this  country,  which  our  manufacturers  are  slow  yet  to 
enter.  The  expected  steamship  line,  that  we  bad  tried  to  inaugurate  be- 
tween a  Mexican  gulf  port  and  Brazil,  did  not  materialize  for  some  reason, 
to  our  fiour  exporters  and  our  coffee  importers  are  both  disappointed,  but 
we  will  promise  them  that  we  shall  ''try,  try  again." 

Our  trade  with  Paraguay,  Uruguay  and  Argentine  is  small,  so  is  also 
oar  trade  with  the  countries  on  the  Pacific  coast  of  South  America.  It  is 
to  be  hoped,  that  the  Panama  canal,  so  long  and  exasperathigly  delayed, 
will  yet  be  opened  up  to  our  traffic  from  a  gulf  port.  The  enormous 
amount  of  trade,  which  the  European  countries  derive  from  there,  ought 
to  be  an  especial  incentive  for  us  to  make  heroic  efforts  to  that  end.

flOUTH  AFRICA. 

Trade  with  SoDth  Africa  is  springing  up.  In  lines  of  agricultural 
machinery,  shoes^  wagons,  hardware,  and  many  other  lines  this  offers  a 
promising  field,  that  will  grow  to  immense  proportions.  Some  bnsiness  is 
also  being  done  in  these  lines  with  Australia. 

China  and  Japan  are  also  beginning  to  afford  a  field,  both  for  our  ex- 
porters and  importers,  and  to  a  limited  extent  the  East  Indies. 

Shipments  of  live  stock  still  continue  to  South  Africa,  althoagh  the  war 
is  oyer.    These  are  for  agricultural  purposes. 

The  increase  in  our  foreign  trade  has  been  most  marked  in  the  line  ef 
exports  of  agricultural  implements,  iron  and  hardware,  shoes,  machinery, 
glasS;  electrical  supplies,  wire  rope,  paper,  etc.,  mostly  to  l^exico,  and  in 
a  moderate  degree  to  Australia,  Seuth  America,  Cuba  and  South  Africa, 
although  there  have  been  large  sales  made  to  other  parts  of  Latin- America 
and  Europe.  ' 

There  have  also  been  large  shipments  of  fruit  to  Europe. 

The  following  are  the  estimates  for  packing  house  export  shipments :

Dressed  hogs 750,000

The  receipts  of  coffee  have  been  as  follows :  332,255  sacks  and  120,855 
packages. 

Fruit  imports  from  Mexico,  Cuba  and  Porto  Rico  have  largely  in- 
creased, and  the  usually  heavy  importations  of  bananas  from  Colombia, 
yia  New  Orleans  and  Mobile. 


THE  LUMBER  TRADE  OP  ST.  LOUIS  DURING  190a. 

By  Oso.  E.  Watson,  of  the  American  Lumberman. 


St.  Louis  is  prepared  to  tell  a  story  of  progress  toward  supremacy  in  the 
lumber  world,  which  is  unequalled  by  any  other  of  the  great  lumber  mar- 
kets of  the  coimtiy  and  which,  in  the  vastness  of  the  business  transacted, 
will  be  difficult  of  comprehension  by  those  not  in  touch  with  the  situation. 
The  business  of  the  city  has  grown  at  an  amazing  rate,  until  it  now  stands 


76  TRADK  AND  OOMMEBOB  OF 

in  flist  place  as  a  market  for  Southern  lumber,  and,  in  this  connection,  it 

must  be  stated  that  the  marketing  of  the  Southern  lumber  product  is  now 

the  most  important  of  the  various  branches  of  the  trade.    To  this  growth 

of  the  market  in  actual  comparative  form,  the  following  receipts  by  rail 

during  the  past  nine  years  show  a  progress,  such  as  would  make  any 

market  proud : 

Oars.

1899 88,177 

1900 102,676 

1901 Ill  ,897 

1902 181,676 

The  reason  for  this  marked  growth  is  very  apparent.  With  the  gradual 
disintegration  of  the  Northern  forests,  the  lumber  manufacturers^  who 
formerly  operated  plants  in  Michigan^  Wisconsin  and  other  of  the  Northern 
States,  are  removing  their  mills  to  Arkansas,  Louisiana  and  other  Southern 
sections  and  are  marketing  their  product,  through  St.  Louis^  in  the  same 
territory  as  before.  The  extreme  Northern  country  is  depending  more  and 
more  upon  the  Southern  forests  and^  because  of  the  central  location  of 
St.  Louis,  this  market  is  reaping  the  harvest.  St.  Louis  lumber  is  reaching 
points  hitherto  not  considered  as  possible  markets  for  Southern  lumber, 
and  the  export  trade  of  the  city  is  no  small  item.  In  addition  to  the 
business  shown  by  the  tables,  which  follow,  the  St.  Louis  people  have 
transacted  a  wonderful  business,  which  formed  no  part  of  the  receipts  and 
shipments  of  the  market^  business  in  the  way  of  direct  shipments  from  the 
mills  to  points  of  consumption  in  the  far  East  or  West^  and  which  did  not 
pass  through  the  city.  This  business  amounted  to  almost  1,000,000,000 
feet,  but  it  is  impossible  to  give  the  figures  with  any  degree  of  accuracy, 
nor  is  it  possible  to  place  a  monetary  valuation  upon  the  business  of  the 
market.

THE  OITY  09  ST.  LOUIS  79 

On  a  basis  of  12^000  feet  to  the  car  this  gives  the  following  as  the  total 
shipments : 

Feet— 1902.       Feet— 1901. 

By  rail 8SO,724,000       820,068,000 

By  river 2,086,000  8,133,000 

Totals 862,810,000       824,201,000 

This  shows  a  gain  in  the  shipments  over  the  preceding  year  of  38^609^000 
feet.  It  is  firmly  believed  that  there  was  a  greater  gain  in  the  shipments 
than  this  and  the  difference  is  accounted  for  by  the  fact  that  out-bound 
business  is  loaded  heavier  and  in  greater  capacity  cars  than  the  average  in- 
bound business  and  this  would  malce  a  great  difference. 

The  local  consumption  of  lumber,  as  arrived  at  by  taking  the  difference 
between  the  receipts  and  the  shipments,  gives  the  following: 

Feet— 1902.  Feet^l901. 

Beoeipts 1,646,488,100    1,414,698,766 

Shipments 862,810,000      824,201,000 

Local  consumption 783,678,100      090,497,766 

This  shows  a  gahi  for  1902  over  1901  of  198,180^334  feet^  which  proves 
conclusively  that  the  past  year  was  the  most  aggressively  prosperous  year 
St.  Louis  lumbermen  have  ever  known  as  to  both  local  and  country  business. 
The  outlook  for  St.  Louis  as  a  lumber  market  is  wonderful.  The  limit 
of  progress  has  by  no  means  been  reached  and  the  World's  Fair  City 
should  show  as  great  gains  during  1903  as  during  the  past  year^  and  this 
will  place  it  at  the  top  as  a  market  for  lumber  even  if  it  be  not  already  at 
the  top. 


80  TBADB  AND  OOUHSBOB  OF 


ST.  LOUIS  MUNICIPAL  AFFAIRS 


From  the  report  of  Mk.  James  Y.  Pi<atsb,  Ck>mptro]ler,  for  the  fiscal 

year  ending  April  10th,  1902* 


CONDITION  OP  THE  TREASURY. 

The  balance  in  the  treasury  at  the  end  of  the  fiscal  year,  April  7th^ 
1902,  was  S5^388,361.31.  To  this  amount  is  to  be  added  for  uncollected 
special  tax  bills  for  the  openings  sprinkling  and  changing  grades  of 
streets  and  maintaining  boulevards,  $298^528.49^  making  the  total  resources 
of  the  treasury  $5^686,889.80.  To  be  charged  against  this  amount  is  the 
balance  standing  to  the  credit  of  special  funds  and  accounts  aggregating 
$2,821,557.94.  After  deducting  this  amount  from  the  resources  of  the 
treasury,  an  unappropriated  surplus  of  $2,866,331.86  remains,  as  against 
$2,074,592.30  for  the  preceding  year. 

Interest  and  public  debt  revenue $  966,903.62 

Municipal  revenue 906,655.98 

Water  works  revenue 1,641,491.15 

Harbor  fund 52,040.46 

$2,866,881.86 

REYENUE  AND  APPROPRIATIONS. 

The  resources  of  the  revenue  funds,  income  and  unappropriated  balances, 
April  8, 1901,  were  as  follows : 

Interest  and  public  debt  revenue $  2,167,162.91 

Municipal  revenue 6,289,228.96 

Water  works  revenue 2,769,869.27 

Harbor  fund  110,069.61 

$11,986,810.64 
BONDED  DEBT. 

There  was  no  reduction  of  the  bonded  debt  during  the  fiscal  year  ending 
April  7th,  1902.    The  total  debt  remains  at  $18,916,278.30. 

The  annual  interest  charges  on  the  bonded  debt  remains  unchanged  at 
$778,409.28,  an  average  rate  of  4.11%. 

With  the  issue  of  the  $5,000,000  of  3.25%  twenty-year  bonds  in  aid  of 
the  St.  Louis  World's  Fair  celebrating  the  Louisiana  Purchase  Centennial, 
as  authorized  by  an  amendment  to  the  State  Constitution  ratified  at  a  gen- 
eral election  held  November  6th,  1900,  the  bonded  debt  of  the  city  will  be 
increased  to  $23,916,278.30. 


THE  CITT  OP  ST.  LOUIS.  81 

A  special  tax  will  be  levied,  sufficient  to  provide  for  the  payment  of  the 
annual  interest  on  the  World's  Fair  bonds,  and  sufficient  also  to  provide  a 
sinking  fund  to  meet  the  principal  of  these  bonds,  as  required  by  the  pro- 
visions of  Section  1,  of  Article  Y  of  the  charter  of  the  city. 

SINKING  FUND. 

The  balance  in  the  sinking  fund  at  the  close  of  the  year  1901  was 
$232,275.13.  To  this  must  be  added  the  sum  of  $421,590.72,  s  et  apart  for 
sinking  fund  purposes  for  the  year  just  closed,  making  the  balance  to  the 
credit  of  the  sinking  fund  account,  April  7th,  1902,  $663,868.85. 

Section  2,  of  Article  XIV,  of  the  charter,  requires  that  $1,200^000  be  set 
aside  annually,  to  be  used  exclusively  for  interest  and  public  debt  revenue 
purposes.  The  portion  of  each  annual  appropriation  not  required  for  the 
payment  of  the  interest  coupons  maturing  during  the  respective  years 
must  be  credited  to  and  constitute  the  sinking  fund,  and  held  sacred  for  the 
redemption  and  purchase  of  bonds  outstanding  on  the  7th  day  of  April, 
1890.  A  special  sinking  fund  is  established  by  law  for  the  redemption  and

TAXATION. 

The  assessed  valuation  of  property,  real  and  personal,  for  the  taxes  of 
1902,  is  $389,953,730,  of  which  $329,659,090  is  assessed  as  the  valaation  of 
real  estate,  and  $60,294,640  as  the  value  of  personal  property. 

The  assessment  of  railroad,  bridge,  telegraph,  express  and  street  rail- 
road property  by  the  State  Board  of  Equalization  for  the  year  1902,  will,  in 
all  probability,  exceed  the  assessment  of  last  year,  namely;  $26,211,354. 

The  rate  of  taxation  for  the  current  year  has  been  increased  five  cents  on 
the  $100  valuation,  due  to  the  necessity  of  making  provision  for  the  interest 
on  the  Worlds'  Fair  bonds  and  establishing  a  sinking  fund,  as  required  by 
law^  for  the  redemption  and  purchase  of  those  bonds. 

The  rates  for  1901,  on  the  $100  valuation  are  as  follows: 

For  payment  of  debt  and  interest  (bounds  outstanding 

April  7th,  1890) $  .20 

For  interest  and  sinking  fund,  World's  Fair  bonds 10

MINING  INDUSTRIES  OF  MISSOURI. 


By  J.  W.  Mab8tbli«bb,  Secretary  Bureau  of  Mines,  Mining  and 

Mining  Inspection. 


Onr  mining  industries  for  the  year  1902  evidence  a  very  flourishing 
condition  throughout  the  entire  State^  and  but  for  a  shortage  in  transporta- 
tion facilities^  our  lead,  zinc  and  coal  production  would  have  been  much 
greater  than  our  flnal  report  will  show.  Enough  is  already  shown  to 
indicate  a  very  decided  increase  in  the  lead  output^  a  very  satisfactoiy 
increase  in  zinc  ores^  with  a  shortage  In  the  output  of  coal  compared  with 
1901.  While  the  coal  product  will  show  less^  yet  the  increased  price 
received  for  the  same  will  about  equal  the  value  of  the  output  for  the 
former  year.  Our  coal  trade  suffered  not  only  on  account  of  a  shortage  in 
the  cars  furnished  by  the  railways,  but  because  of  a  great  scarcity  in  miners. 
The  lack  of  miners  is  due  largely  to  the  unnecessarily  prolonged  meeting 
of  the  convention  formed  of  representatives  of  mine  operators  and  miners, 
at  which  the  scale  of  prices  to  govern  for  the  ensuing  year  is  agreed  upon. 
So  much  time  was  taken  up  that  it  was  feared  an  agreement  would  not  be 
reached  and  many  hundred  miners  left  the  State  for  sections  where  the 
scale  had  been  decided  upon  and  a  year's  work  assured.  Our  coal  product 
for  the  year  will  closely  approximate  3,600,000  tons,  valued  at  $4,700,000. 
The  demand  for  coal  has  been  very  good  and  the  price  paid  for  mining  and 
the  price  received  for  the  coal  have  both  made  good  increases.  Our 
present  developed  work,  splendid  equipment,  excellentfacilities  for  handling 
the  product,  together  with  the  new  mines  opened  out  during  the  year,  will 
enable  our  operators  to  double  the  output  should  the  trade  demand  it.  No 
period  in  the  mining  history  of  the  State  has  witnessed  the  progress  made 
during  the  last  year  in  new  mines  opened  or  the  vast  preparations  made  in 
increasing  the  capacity  of  our  older  mines,  along  the  line  of  the  Iowa  A 
St  Louis  Railway,  now  being  rapidly  constructed  and  of  which  we  hear  so 
little — although  one  of  its  terminals  is  at  St.  Louis,  while  the  other  is  at 
Sioux  City.  It  appears  that  the  prime  object  in  building  this  new  railroad 
was  to  secure  the  trade  from  the  great  Chariton  Valley  coal  field.  The 
Keokuk  &  Western,  Wabash  R.  R.  and  the  Quincy,  Omaha  &  Kansas  City, 
each  cross  through  a  portion  of  this  field;  but  the  Iowa  A  St.  Louis  passes 
right  through  the  entire  field  from  north  to  south,  opening  up  a  new  field 
of  most  excellent  coal  of  an  average  tliickness  of  42  inches.  We  visited 
ten  new  mines  opened  in  this  section  last  month,  finding  several  of  them 
already  making  a  large  output,  while  the  others  were  nearing  completion. 
Many  other  mines  are  contemplated  on  this  line  and  when  all  are  in  opera- 


84  TRADS  AND  OOIOCBBCB  QF 

tion,  this  section  of  our  State  will  show  a  wonderful  increase  in  its  coal 
product.  The  Manufacturers  Coal  A  Coke  Company,  is  responsible  for  this 
new  enterprise  and  as  the  same  gentlemen,  officer  the  coal  company  and 
the  railroad  as  well,  doubtless  transportation  facilities  will  be  promptly 
furnished.  The  coal  company  has  secured  control  of  oyer  60^000  acres  of 
this  coal  property,  embracing  land  in  Putnam,  Schuyler,  Adair  and  Macon 
counties.  Adair  county  appears  to  be  more  highly  favored  in  the  number 
of  new  mines  opened,  and  promises  for  the  coming  year  to  exceed  all  other 
counties,  if  we  except  Macon  county,  which  has  an  output  of  more  than 
1^000,000  tons  annually. 

There  is  at  present  a  better  feeling  existing  between  employer  and  em- 
ploye in  our  coal  field  than  has  existed  for  years.  Strikes  we  have  had^  but 
they  were  local,  and  at  no  time  of  a  serious  nature.  Our  mines  were  never 
more  safe,  or  their  sanitary  condition  better;  in  fact  Missouri  is  credited 
with  having  proven  a  more  favorable  condition  in  her  mines,  relative  to 
mine  accidents,  than  any  other  mining  section  in  all  North  America.  The 
current  year  gives  promise  of  more  harmony  between  operator  and  miner, 
and  a  greater  output  than  we  have  ever  before  experienced. 

The  growth  and  progress  in  our  lead  and  zinc  industries  is  simply  won* 
derful,  especially  is  this  true  of  our  lead  industry;  1899  and  1900  were 
banner  years  in  the  output  of  lead  ores,  with  151,307  tons  to  their  credit; 
but  1901  and  1902  show  that  there  were  mined  237,519  tons,  an  increase  of 
86,212  tons^  or  57  % .  The  value  of  the  product  increased  during  the  same 
period  from  $6,872,439  to  $10,625,497,  showing  the  increase  in  favor  of  1901 
and  1902  to  be  $3,752,968.  St.  Francois  county  alone  mined  174,122^700 
pounds  of  lead  ore  during  the  year  1902,  valued  at  $3,733,808,  an  increase 
over  1901  of  $614,419.  The  lead  ore  production  for  the  year  1902  for  the 
entire  State  was  245^354,000  pounds,  an  increase  over  the  previous  year  c^ 
35,670,000  pounds.  The  value  of  the  product  for  the  year  will  be  about 
$5,700,000.  New  plants  in  our  lead  ore  districts  are  without  doubt  not  only 
the  largest  of  their  Idnd  to  be  found  anywhere,  but  they  embrace  every 
modem  appliance  for  the  speedy  handling  and  cleaning  the  ore.  Our  soft 
Missouri  ores  are  in  better  demand  than  the  desilverized  ores,  and  increased 
production  has  been  met  with  a  steady  advance  in  the  price  for  the  last  six 
months  of  the  year.  The  future  is  very  promising  in  every  feature  con- 
nected with  the  industry. 

Zinc  ores  of  this  State  like  our  lead  ores,  are  the  best  to  be  found  in  any 
country,  they  are  the  purest  and  of  necessity  bring  the  better  prices  and  are 
always  in  greater  demand.  The  year  1901  whUe  it  showed  an  increased 
production,  yet  the  price  compared  with  the  two  former  years  was  very 
low;  this  year  however  shows  a  very  satisfactory  increase  in  production 
and  a  most  gratifying  increase  in  price.  The  average  price  received  for 
zinc  ores  during  the  year  1902,  was  $6.63  per  ton  better  than  for  the  former 
year.  An  average  increase  in  price  of  28%,  has  had  its  influence  in  still 
further  increasing  prospect  work  and  widening  the  mineral  field.  Attempts 
to  unjustly  infiuence  the  price  of  ore  are  promptly  met  by  our  operators  in 


THE  0IT7  OF  ST.  LOUIS.  85 

several  ways  and  the  viadom  thej  have  displayed  in  their  methods  for 
maintaining  prices,  has  undoubtedly  sustained  the  fair  prices  which  have 
obtained  for  some  months  past.  Our  zinc  ore  output  for  the  year  will 
reach  240;000  tons,  compared  with  324,074  tons  for  the  preyious  year,  an 
Increase  of  15,996  tons.  Tlie  value  of  the  product  for  1902  amoimts  to 
97,290,780  as  against  $6,308,671  for  1901,  showing  an  increased  value  of 
(1,982,109  or  37.83%.  The  future  promise  of  our  zinc  fields  could  not  be 
better  forecast  than  by  reference  to  the  activity  displayed  of  late  in  the 
purchase  of  mineral  lands,  mines  and  plants  and  the  extra  good  prices 
secured  for  such  property;  there  has  been  nothing  approaching  a  boom 
condition  nor  has  fictions  value  played  a  part,  but  it  is  simply  due  to  the 
strong  and  healthy  conditions  existing  in  the  zinc  district.  Jasper  County 
of  course  continues  to  lead  all  others  in  the  production  of  zinc  ores  and  the 
value  of  its  lead  and  zinc  ores. 

The  product  of  our  mines  for  the  year  1902,  from  the  data  at  hand, 
indicates  that  it  will  reach  $17,670,780,  of  which  $4,700,000  was  received 
from  our  coal  product,  $6,700,000  from  lead  ore  and  $7,290,780  is  derived 
from  the  sale  of  our  zinc  ores.  This  shows  an  increase  over  1901  in  the 
value  of  our  mineral  production  of  $2,761,650,  the  increase  being  due 
almost  wholly  to  lead  and  zinc  for  the  reasons  above  mentioned.

THE  (JITT  OF  9T.  l^ijnff.  99 


RAILROAD  TRANSPORTATION. 


By  B.  8.  ToMFKiKS,  Commissioner,  St.  Louis  Traffic  Bureau. 


Tbe  Great  Trunk  Lines  leading  in  alj  directions  from  this  city  indicate 
the  (mportaDce  of  tlie  trade  and  commerce  of  St.  Louis,  and  new  roads 
are  being  biiilt  to  take  care  of  the  increased  traffic  to  the  South  and  West, 
brought  about  by  the  rapid  deyeloipment  oi  that  part  of  the  United  States. 

The  year  1902  has  brought  the  greatest  improvements  in  rail  transpor- 
tation facilities  In  the  histx>ry  of  tlfe  city.  The  construction  of  niew  roads 
in  Soutbem  Missouri  opens  up  much  n^w  local  territery,  which  will  prove 
valuable  to  this  market. 

The  St.  Louis-Kansas  City  line  of  the  Bock  Bland  lies  midway  between 
the  Missouri  Pacific  and  the  Frisco,  and  gives  a  new  short  line  to  Union, 
Tersailles,  Windsor  and  other  points  in  Western  Missouri. 

The  Frisco  has  purchased  the  St.  Louis.  Memphis  &  Southeastern  and 
tlie  St.  Louis  A  Gulf  Bailways,  and  is  building  a  new  road  from  St.  Louis 
along  the  west  bank  of  tbe  Mississippi  Blver,  connecting  with  their  line 
just  west  of  Memphis,  and  giving  direct  rail  connection  via  Cape  Girar- 
deau with  the  network  of  their  small  roads  in  Southeastern  Missouri;  as 
well  as  opening  9p  a  new  route  to  the  Southeast. 

The  White  Biver  YaUey  line  of  the  Missouri  Padfle,  now  under  oon- 
structlon,  eztepdlng  from  Batesville,  Arkansas,  northwest,  along  the 
valley  of  the  White  Kiver  to  Carthage,  Mo.,  reaches  a  territory  which  has 
long  beien  in  need  of  rail  facilities. 

In  Oklahoma  and  the  Indian  Territory,  there  is  the  Arkansas  Ss  Ghoctiaw 
line  <^  the  Fi  iseo  on  the  north  bank  of  the  Bed  Biver,  now  completed, 
130  mUes  west  from  the  Arkansas-Indian  Territory  line,  and  their  Oakla- 
lioma  City  and  Western  branch  in  operation  from  Oklahoma  City  to  Chiok- 
asha,  and  under  construotion  to  Qntoah,  Texas. 

Also  the  new  line  of  the  Missenrl,  Kansas  4b  Texas  under  oonstruotion 
from  Coffeyville,  Kans.,  to  Guthrie,  0.  T.,  all  reaching  new  territory 
tributary  to  this  market. 

The  St  Louis  Valley  $oad,  recentiy  completed  between  East  St.  Louis 
and  Gale,  111.,  120  miles,  and  the  river  division  of  the  Missouri  Padfle, 
Jefferson  City  to  Boonvllle,  which  was  completed  last  February,  are  good 
examples  of  new  railroad  construction,  which  is  along  lines  providing 
road  beds,  with  a  minimum  curyature  and  grade  for  the  economical  hand- 
ling of  heavy  tonnage. 

'the  extension  ot  the  Illinois  Central  to  Golconda,  111.,  should  bring 
some  new  trade  to  this  market,  as  the  only  entrance  into  that  city  in  the 
past  has  been  by  the  Ohio  Biver  boats. 


1 


100  TRADK  AND  OOMMEKCE  OF 

Another  through  line  will  soon  be  opened  from  St  Louis  to  the  Atlantic 
Seaboard  the  Wabash  or  Gtoold  interests  having  porchased  a  number  of 
small  lines^  and  haye  under  construction  new  connecting  lines,  which  will 
glTC  them  an  outlet  to  tidewater  at  Baltimore. 

The  control  of  the  Chicago  &  Sastem  Illinois  has  passed  to  the  Frisco, 
and  they  are  now  building  some  new  track  west  from  Findley,  m.^  which, 
with  a  joint  trackage  arrangement  with  the  Big  Four,  will  give  them  an 
entrance  to  this  city,  and  open  up  a  new  line  to  Chicago. 

The  Louisville  A  Nashyille  is  now  controlled  by  the  Atlantic  Coast 
Line,  which  will  bring  about  improTed  traffic  arrangements  and  service 
by  that  company  on  shipments  from  this  market,  destined  to  points  on  the 
South  Atlantic  Coast. 

Many  improvements  have  been  made  in  the  passenger  service  of  the 
St.  Louis  lines,  by  increasing  the  number  of  trains;  adding  new  equipment 
and  cutting  down  the  running  time  of  many  of  their  fast  trains,  which  has 
resulted  in  an  increased  travel  via  this  gateway.  Improvements  have  also 
been  made  in  the  fast  mail  service  from  the  East. 

The  Southwestern  lines  have  established  a  bureau  in  this  city  to 
advertise  the  advantages  of  the  great  Southwest,  and  have  made  low  rates 
for  home-seekers  to  push  the  settlement  and  development  of  that  section, 
which  will  prove  advantageous  to  St.  Louis,  the  great  trade  center  for 
that  section. 

I  The  terminal  improvements  which  have  been  made,  and  those  now 

under  way,  should  give  this  city  facilities  second  to  none  in  this  country. 
The  completion  of  belt  tracks  around  St.  Louis  and  East  St.  Louis  by  the 
Terminal  Association,  will  enable  them  to  handle  all  through  freight 
without  bringing  it  through  the  Mill  Creek  Valley.  This  will  take 
\  40%  of  the  business  which  is  now  handled  through  the  city  and  will  give 

additional  facilities  for  handling  city  freight  and  the  passenger  business. 
The  Terminal  Association  has  acquired  control  of  the  Wiggins  Ferry  and 
Interstate  Car  Transfer  Companies,  which,  it  it  claimed,  will  give  improved 
terminal  service  by  a  division  of  the  business  and  the  handling  of  the  fast 
freight  over  the  bridges  and  the  slow  freight  on  the  ferries. 

One  of  the  most  Important  improvements  by  the  Terminal  Association 
will  be  the  construction  of  elevated  tracks  from  the  Eads  Bridge  to  the 
Union  Station,  permitting  the  hand  ing  of  passenger  trains  to  the  Union 
Station  without  passing  through  the  tunnel.  This  will  remove  a  long- 
standing objection  the  traveling  public  has  had  against  this  gateway. 
They  will  also  construct  a  new  depot  near  the  foot  of  Olive  street,  which 
will  permit  passengers  on  trains  from  the  East  to  stop  down  town^  and  not 
have  to  make  the  trip  to  the  Union  Station. 

The  Taylor  City  Belt  Railway  has  recently  been  completed,  which 
connects  with  and  gives  the  Missouri  Pacific  and  Frisco  an  entrance  into 
the  World's  Fair  Grounds. 


THE  OITT  or  ST.  LOUIS.  101 

The  terminal  yards  of  all  lines  have  been  improyed  and  enlarge  by  the 
purchase  of  property  for  new  train  yards,  which  will  present  blockades  in 
the  future,  and  proTide  for  the  prompt  settinji;  of  cars  after  arriyal. 

Many  new  lines  have  been  projected,  which  will  increase  the  trade  of 
this  city,  and  some  are  now  under  construction — the  Iowa  &  St.  Louis  has 
46  miles  of  its  road  completed^  which  will  extend  530  miles  northwest 
from  tbis  city  via  Des  Moines  to  Sioux  City.  The  Rock  Island  has  sur- 
▼eyed  a  route  and  proposes  to  build  a  short  line  between  St.  Louis  and 
Chicago. 

A  new  terminal  company  seeks  right  of  way  over  about  10  miles  of  city 
streets,  principally  along  Main  street  and  Clark  avenue,  and  they  propose 
to  build  a  third  bridge  and  extensive  terminals. 

All  of  these  improvements  speak  in  no  uncertain  terms  for  the  future 
of  the  trade  and  commerce  of  New  St.  Louis.

THE    RIVERS. 


Biver  traffic  during  1902  was  slightly  less  than  lor  the  preoeiing  year, 
as  shown  by  the  following  table : 

1900.  1901.  1903. 

Tons  received  by  steamboats  and  barges 488,670  412,285  886*046 

Tons  leceived  by  rafts. 78.840  00,660  80,875 

Tons  shipped  by  steamboats  and  barges 246/S80  209,271  224,262 

Total 757,090  672,076  641,182 

There  was  a  good  stage  of  water  in  the  lower  riyer  daring  the  year,  but 
the  traffic  was  light  on  through  businessi  there  being  but  a  small  movement 
in  export  grain.  Could  a  good  stage  of  water  be  depoided  upon  eyeiy 
year,  the  lower  riyer  traffic  would  be  reyiyed,  and  new  boats  enter  the  trade. 

The  appropriation  by  the  general  goyemment  of  $660^000  per  year  f(H: 
lour  years  for  the  improyement  of  the  Mississippi  between  the  mouth  of 
the  Oliio  and  the  mouth  of  tiie  Dlinois,  justifies  the  belief  that  a  nayigable 
channel  of  eight  feet  will  be  secured  for  the  entire  year. 

Captain  D.  M.  Connors,  makes  the  following  report  of  the  Memphis 
route: 

<'  The  business  of  the  Lee  Line  Steamers  operating  between  St.  Louis 
and  Friar's  Point,  Miss.,  showed  a  marked  improyement  oyer  the  proceed- 
ing year  both  in  freight  and  passengers.  To  this^  however,  we  attribute 
the  unusual  good  stage  of  water  which  was  the  most  favorable  for  the  past 
ten  years,  also  the  good  coxmections  made  at  Memphis  with  the  lower  river 
boats  whidii  enabled  us  to  caity  freight  and  passengers  to  points  on  the 
lower  river  as  far  south  as  Vicksburg." 

The  local  packets  rmming  to  Comm«x»  and  intermediate  pc^ts  were 
actively  engaged  daring  the  entire  season  and  did  a  good  business. 

Mr.  Isaac  P.  Lusk  gives  the  following  statement  of  the  business  of  the 
upper  river: 

'^  The  passenger  and  freight  traffic  ot  the  Upper  Mississippi  river  has 
been  very  satisfactory  for  the  past  season.  All  the  local  packets  running 
in  short  trades  have  done  the  largest  business  in  their  history.  There  has 
been  an  excellent  stage  of  water  in  the  Upper  Mississippi  except  between 
LaCross,  Wis.,  and  the  foot  of  Lake  Pepin,  and  for  this  stretch  of  river 
there  was  only  three  feet  of  water  for  several  weeks,  and  on  which  account 
our  steamers  were  unable  to  handle  any  shipments  of  freight  for  St  Paul, 
Minn.,  or  for  any  point  above  LaCross,  Wis.,  although  considerable  business 
was  offered  us.  This  low  water  spoken  of,  came  early  in  August  and  con- 
tinued through  August  and  part  of  September,  and  although  onr  steamers 
could  handle  no  freight  whatever  for  points  above  LaCross  to  St.  Paul, 


106  TRADE  AKD  OOMMKROE  OF 

Minn.^  still  they  contlnaed  to  ran  through  to  St.  Paul  until  the  middle  of 
September,  and  never  miased  a  trip  in  getting  through  to  St.  Paul;  being 
being  able^  however,  to  carry  only  passengers  and  no  freight. 

'<  The  passenger  business  handled  by  the  steamers  of  the  Upper  Mississ- 
ippi river  is  constantly  increasing.  There  is  a  certain  amount  of  freight 
business  which  can  always  be  augmented  when  there  is  a  good  stage  of 
water,  but  with  the  low  stage  of  water  experienced  almost  every  year  in  the 
Upper  Mississippi  after  the  middle  of  July  or  first  of  August,  the  freight 
handled  by  steamers  from  St.  Louis  to  points,  say  north  of  Davenport, 
Iowa,  is  insignificant.  "With  proper  improvement  of  the  Upper  Mississippi 
river  by  which  a  good  navigable  channel  could  be  maintained  of  not  less 
than  five  feet  of  water  during  the  low  water  season  there  would  be  an 
immense  amount  of  traffic  brought  to  the  river  that  is  now  dependent  upon 
the  railroads,  while  local  industries  would  be  greatly  benefited  by  the  low 
rates  that  would  prevail. 

<'  The  average  yearly  receipts  for  the  Diamond  Jo  Line  Steamers  is  made 
up  of  more  than  75%  from  the  passenger  traffic,  leaving  only  about  26% 
for  the  freight  traffic  receipts,  and  this  small  percentage  is  accounted  for 
solely  for  the  reason  that  the  steamers  of  this  line  are  unable  to  handle  the 
freight  offerings  a  large  part  of  the  Ume  that  they  are  running,  on  account 
of  the  low  stage  of  water.  It  is  only  on  account  of  the  good  passenger 
business  enjoyed  for  a  few  sunmier  months  that  the  steamers  are  enabled 
to  run;  otherwise  there  would  not  be  a  through  steamer  running  at  any 
time  from  St.  Louis  to  St.  Paul.*^ 

Mr.  J.  E.  Massengale  made  the  following  report  on  the  Tennessee  river 
trade: 

'^  In  reference  to  the  trade  of  the  Tennessee  river  valley,  our  steamers 
(six  in  number)  that  serve  St.  Louis  from  that  territory,  traverse  the 
Tennessee  river  a  distance  of  800  miles,  between  Paducah,  Ey.,  and  Flor- 
ence, Ala.,  and  have  had  a  better  business  from  that  section  this  year  than 
for  several  years  past,  particularly  in  shipments  of  cotton,  peanuts  and 
stock.  Thnt  territory  was  favored  with  veiy  large  crops  this  year,  particu- 
larly in  cotton,  com  and  peanuts ;  hence  is  prosperous,  and  we  have  brought 
and  will  bring  to  St.  Louis  from  the  present  crop,  say  10,000  bales  of  cotton, 
which  is  40%  more  than  the  average.  Our  fiour,  bacon,  groceries  and 
produce  from  St.  Loui6  have  increased  possibly  15%  to  that  section,  but  I 
regret  to  say  that  our  dry-goods,  boot  and  shoe  trade  has  not  increased;  in 
fact,  it  shows  less  this  fall  than  formerly,  but  as  a  whole  the  business  has 
been  very  satisfactory,  and  the  outlook  is  not  gloomy  by  any  means. 

'<  The  business  of  both  the  Illinois  and  Missouri  rivers  has  been  fairly 
satisfactoiy  and  up  to  the  average."

wu  10,680,680  stAudATd  bales,  as  against  10,889,433  tor  the  previone  year. 

Th*  amount  handled  at  aod  throngh  St.  LodIs  was  leae  than  in  1000-01, 
but  a  fair  average  of  preceding  fears.  The  gross  receipts  were  S41,36S 
bales,  and  the  net  reoelpte  331,680  bales.  The  amount  of  round  half  bal«f 
concentrated  at  thU  point  was  lsa,IM,  which  are  included  In  the  recdptt 
as  91,677  standard  bales.  While  the  amount  of  local  receipts  amounted  to 
only  331,080  bales,  there  was  a  much  larger  amount  handled  by  St.  Louie 
factors,  the  sauqiles  bdng  exhibited  and  saka  made  here,  while  the  cotton 
was  shipped  direct  from  the  country  presses  through  some  northern  gate- 
way, or  via  the  gulf  port^. 

The  average  weight  of  St.  Louis  standard  bales  was  610  pounds,  and  th« 
average  value  p^*  bale  $43.10.  Arkaneag  contributed  433,070  bales,  Texae 
followed  next  with  166,783  and  Oklahoma  63,330.  The  amount  exported 
was  384,876  bales,  of  which  more  than  one-baU  went  to  England. 

Values  for  middlings  ranged  from  7^<38  9-lfl  hi  January  to  8Ji@  8  13-16 
in  December;  the  lowest  quotation  being  7^  In  April,  and  the  highest  2H 
in  August  and  September.  Stocks  in  warehouse  at  the  elose  of  the  year 
were  11,715  standard  bales,  ag^net  34,878  at  the  close  of  the  previous  year. 

Ur.  Henry  Q.  Hester,  Secretary,  New  Orleans  Cotton  I^sohange,  makee 
the  following  statement  as  to  valne  of  this  year's,  as  compared  with  pre- 
vious crops: 

"On  the  basis  of  middling,  which  represents  the  average  of  the  crop,  ■ 

fair  average  of  price  for  the  United  States  Is  8  6-100  cents  per  pound,  com- 

'   paring  with  9  33-100  cents  per  pound  for  last  year,  7  3G-100  cents  for  the 

year  before  and  4  SS-100  cents  for  1898-99,  the  highest  price  touched  during 

the  season  having  been  9|^  and  the  lowest  7}^. 

"The  average  commerda]  value  per  bale  of  the  crop  is  $41.01,  against 
$47.68  last  year,  $38.66  the  year  before,  and  $36.08  in  1398-99.  The  total 
value  of  the  crop  compared  with  the  previous  Ave  years  is  as  follows;

1896-1887 8,767,964  321,924,88* 

"This  shows  that  while  the  crop  was  in  excess  of  last  year  by  397,3d( 
bales,  the  money  value  thereof  was  $68,562,862  less. 

"When  it  is  considered  that  the  combined  values  of  the  past  three  crops 
resulted  in  payment  to  farmers,  common  carriers,  merchants  and  otbei 
handlers  of  nearly  $1,300,000,000,  their  importance  as  the  great  factor  ii 
the  prosperity  of  the  South  may  be  fully  appreciated."

flour  from  the  whole  Unlt«d  States  were  19,284,779  barrels 

18,667  in  1902,  a  decrease  in  the  year  of  about  6^.    Foreign 

St.  Louis  were  for  these  two  years  1,180,821  and  905,206 

B  ui:v><ta8e  of  384,116  barrels,  about  36^.    This  decrease  Is  great«r 

falling  off  in  either  the  amount  of  flour  manufactured  or  shipped. 

Mnditione  following  the  severe  drought  of  1901  operated  In  several 

curtail  the  output  and  the  export  of  flour.    The  destracUon  of  a 

rt  of  the  com  and  oats  crop  so  enhanced  the  value  of  all  kinds  of 

eed,  that  It  was  worth  more  than  the  lower  grades  of  flour  which 

^r  usually  turns  out  at  the  same  time  with  the  bett«r  qualities.    It 

.-e  profitable  for  him  to  turn  low  grade  floui  material  into  the  bran 


THB  OITY  OF  ST.  LOUIS.  141 

«nd  Bell  it  as  feed  stuff.  There  is  no  doubt  that  this  tended  strongly  to 
diminish  the  output  of  flour.  High  prices  of  wheat  in  the  West  also 
naturally  discouraged  export  sales. 

Again,  the  high  prices  ot  feed  and  feed  grains  in  Europe^  as  well  as 
America^  encouraged  foreign  markets  to  buy  wheat  rather  than  flour 
because  while  importing  wheat  they  were  necessarily  getting  the  hull  of 
the  wheat;  that  is  the  bran,  along  with  the  other  parts  of  the  berry,  and 
the  whole  was  transported,  at  the  relatively  cheap  freight  for  which  wheat 
Is  carried,  wliile  bran  and  other  feeds,  being  builder  than  the  unmanufact- 
ured grain,  are  charged  very  much  higher  rates,  and  would  therefore  cost 
proportionately  more  at  destination.  European  buyers  could  not  get 
American  com  or  oats,  nor  could  they  take  the  bran  as  a  substitute,  as  it 
was  held  at  the  highest  prices  in  the  West  where  it  is  produced  in  largest 
quantities^  because  this  section  was  the  nearest  to  the  stock  raising  districts 
where  the  feeds  were  needed.  Foreigners  bought  wheat  instead  of  flour, 
milled  it  and  utilized  the  bran. 

With  the  increasing  deliveries  of  the  com  crop  of  1902,  during  the  last 
part  of  the  year,  the  results  of  the  drought  gradually  disappeared.  Exports 
of  flour  from  the  United  States  from  July  1  to  December  1, 1902  were  nearly 
2,500,000  bbls.  in  excess  of  the  exports  for  the  preceeding  six  months  and 
exceeded  the  figures  for  the  same  months  in  1901. 

During  the  year  there  has  been  a  decided  increase  in  shipments  of  flour 
to  southern  points  amounting  to  nearly  20%.  These  figures  may  Include 
some  export  flour,  which  it  is  impracticable  to  distinguish,  but  as  there  was 
a  decided  falling  off  of  foreign  shipments,  it  is  clear  that  the  trade  of  our 
millers  and  flour  dealers  in  southern  markets  was  substantially  increased 
in  1902. 

The  decline  in  the  foreign  trade  was  principally  in  shipments  to  Euro- 
pean countries  which  have  large  milling  capacity  of  their  own.  In  other 
directions  the  decline,  if  any,  was  small,  and  in  some  directions  there  were 
noticeable  increases.  Cuban  markets  took  about  10,000  bbls.  less  than  in 
the  previous  year.  South  American  and  Central  American  and  Porto 
Bican  ports,  on  the  contrary,  bought  10,000  bbls.  more.  In  general,  while 
the  movement  is  not  yet  very  pronounced,  the  figures  indicate  that  the 
millers  in  this  territory  are  successfully  seeking  markets  in  new  directions 
to  offset  the  losses  of  trade  which  may  be  anticipated  from  the  hostile 
tariff  legislation  in  European  countries. 

The  condition  of  wheat  in  1902  was  a  source  of  some  anxiety  to  millers 
in  early  crop  months.  Frequent  rains  during  harvest  threatened  more 
serious  damage  than  was  actually  realized  later.  In  some  sections  the  crop 
was  more  or  less  a  failure,  but  in  the  main,  enough  wheat  was  secured  in 
prime  condition  to  supply  all  milling  requirements  and  leave  an  export 
surplus.  By  care  in  the  selection  and  grinding  of  the  wheat,  St.  Louis 
millers  are  having  no  difficulty  in  turning  out  a  product  which  in  every 
way  sustains  the  old  reputation  of  their  brands.  It  is  generally  agreed  by 
flour  exx)erts  that  the  wheat  of  1902  produces  a  slightly  stronger  flour  of 
better  flavor  than  the  berry  for  the  preceding  year. 


142  TRADB  AND  COMMBBCE  07 

All  millers  report  satififactorj  results  from  the  year's  business,  notwith- 
standing occasional  periods  of  dullness  and  close  prices.  European  buyers 
express  entire  satisfaction  with  the  American  flour  of  the  season  and  are 
buying  the  product  in  an  increasing  ratio  as  compared  with  the  unmanu- 
factured wheat. 

The  value  of  soft  wheat  patents  reached  a  maximum  during  January 
and  February,  ranging  from  $4.00  to  $4.20  per  bbl.  in  wood.  Starting  at 
about  $4.00  early  in  March,  there  as  a  steady  decline  to  an  average  of  $3.80 
in  April.  About  the  same  in  May,  and  to  $3.70  to  $3.75  in  June  and  July. 
Toward  the  close  of  the  latter  month  values  began  to  drop  to  the  new  crop 
basis.  In  August  the  bottom  was  reached  at  $3.10  to  $3.20  per  bbl.,  from 
which  there  was  a  steady  recovery  to  $3.40  to  $3.50  per  bbl.  at  the  end  of 
December.  During  the  year  1901  $3.40  was  approximately  the  bottom,  aud 
$3.75  the  highest  price  for  soft  wheat  patent^  except  in  the  month  of 
December^  when  a  considerable  advance  was  established.

TRADE  AND  COMMERCE  OF 


GRAIN. 


The  grain  crops  of  1902  were  the  largest  ever  haryested,  aggregating  in 
wheat,  com,  oats,  rye  and  barley  4,345,138,647  bushels.  The  yield  of  wheat 
was  less  than  in  1901  and  1898,  but  greater  than  in  any  other  year.  The 
yield  of  com  was  far  in  excess  of  any  previous  year,  and  was  only 
approached  by  the  crop  of  1896.  In  oats  also  previous  records  were 
eclipsed;  and  the  same  was  true  of  rye  and  barley.  Other  crops  were  like- 
wise abundant,  so  that  the  year  1902  was  a  banner  year  for  the  fanner.  The 
average  yield  and  value  of  the  crops  of  1902  are  given  by  the  Department 
of  Agriculture  as  follows:

WHEAT. 

More  wheat  was  received  and  distributed  at  St.  Louis  during  1902  than 
in  any  year  in  the  history  of  this  market.  The  receipts  for  the  year  were 
30^667,212  bushels,  of  which  25^743,604  was  of  the  crop  of  1902  and  was 
receiyed  after  July  1st.  Of  the  receipts  nearly  17,000^000  bushels  came  by 
Western  railroads  and  nearly  9,000,000  from  North  and  Northwestern  roads. 
The  shipments  amounted  to  22,276^507  bushels^  of  which  3,672^863  bushels 


162  TRADE  AND  OOMHEBCB  OF 

were  exported  via  Atlantic  Seaboard  and  2|308;714  by  river  via  New  Orleans. 
There  was  a  steady  demand  from  Southern  and  Eastern  milling  points,  and 
some  16,000,000  bushels  was  taken  by  these  outside  mills.  About  6,000,000 
bushels  was  taken  by  city  millers.  The  quality  was  not  up  to  the  year 
before^  the  crop  of  1901  being  unusually  good  on  account  of  a  most  favor- 
able harvest.  The  crop  of  1902  was  damaged  to  some  extent  by  continued 
rains  during  harvest  time,  so  that  but  a  small  proportion  graded  No.  2. 
Out  of  31,456  cars  inspected,  but  7,914  graded  No.  2.  Inspections  show  the 
different  kinds  of  wheat  received,  to  be  as  follows:

CORN. 

The  amount  of  com  handled  in  this  market  during  1902  decreased  some- 
what owing  to  the  short  crop  of  1901,  while  the  phenomenal  crop  of  1902 


THB  CITY  OP  ST.  LOUIS.  153 

did  not  begin  to  reach  the  market  till  November  and  December,  when  the 
receipts  largely  increased.  The  total  amount  handled  was  16,024,716 
bushels,  against  20^834^060  bushels  the  preyious  year.  Values  were  too 
high  for  export  and  but  a  small  proportion  of  the  crop  went  to  foreign 
markets ;  the  bulk  being  taken  for  home  consumption. 

The  receipts  were  less  from  the  West  and  larger  from  east  of  the  river. 
Shipments  amounted  to  13,698,459  bushels^  the  larger  part  going  to  the  South. 
The  market  opened  for  No.  2  in  January  at  693^  cents  and  ranged  from  59

from  the  home  requirements,  there  was  an  unusual  domestic  demand, 
especially  in  the  Southeastern  and  Southern  States,  Texas  being  the  largest 
buyer.  The  price  of  No.  2  in  January  was  50  cents,  ranging  from  41 3^  to

MISSOURI  CROP  REVIEW,  1903. 


By  Geo.  B.  Ellis,  Secretary  State  Board  of  Agriculture. 


WHEAT. 

A  greatly  increased  acreage  was  sown  in  the  fall  of  1901.  This  was  due 
to  two  reasons.  First,  to  the  fact  that  the  yield  of  each  of  the  crops  har- 
vested in  1900-1901  were  above  the  average  prodaction  and  of  excellent 
quality,  and  second,  on  account  of  the  disastrous  drouth  in  1901,  a  great 
many  farmers  sowed  wheat  for  pasture  to  help  take  the  stock  through  the 
winter.  In  sections  where  there  was  sufficient  moisture  and  where  the 
wheat  was  sowed  in  well-prepared  lands  the  fall  and  spring  pasture  more 
than  paid  for  the  seed  and  expense  of  seeding.  Oyer  the  northern  and 
central  parts  of  the  State  the  winter  was  very  dry  during  the  early  part  of 
the  season  of  1902  and  the  seed  made  little  growth,  hut  as  the  season 
adyanced  there  was  sufficient  rain  to  mature  a  bountiful  crop.  In  many  of 
the  southwestern  counties  there  were  good  rains  in  the  fall  of  1901,  and  the 
rain  continued  in  the  following  spring  and  the  wheat  made  rank  growth 
causing  it  to  lodge  badly  which  reduced  the  yield.  The  fields  that  were 
pastured  heavily  in  this  section  produced  the  best  crop.  In  some  of  the 
southeastern  counties  wheat  was  injured  by  a  heavy  sleet  in  the  winter 
which  reduced  the  yield  in  that  section.  The  quality  of  wheat  at  the 
harvest  was  not  up  to  the  standard  of  the  crops  of  1901.  The  grain  was 
rather  small  and  on  account  of  the  excessive  rains  which  continued  from 
the  time  of  harvest  to  late  in  the  season  over  a  great  portion  of  the  State, 
a  great  amount  of  damage  was  done  to  crops  in  the  shock  and  stack  and 
much  of  it  was  fit  for  nothing  but  stock  feed.  The  acreage  given  in  the 
table  below  is  based  upon  the  census  report  for  1900.  There  are  some 
differences  between  the  acreage  given  and  the  estimates  last  year  which 
are  caused  by  correcting  the  figures  upon  the  census  basis. 

WHEAT  SOWN,  FALL  OF  190a. 

The  present  wheat  crop  was  sown  considerably  later  than  the  average 
and  at  the  beginning  of  winter  most  of  it  was  small  affording  very  little 
protection  for  the  winter.  In  a  few  localities  the  Hessian  fly  did  consider- 
able damage,  a  few  reported  damage  from  rust,  some  from  plant  lice  and 
several  reported  injury  from  too  much  rain  causing  the  wheat  to  rot  before 
germinating.  But  taking  the  crop  as  a  whole  it  was  in  excellent  condition 
December  Ist,  as  may  be  seen  in  the  table. 

The  acreage  sown  this  year  is  about  11  %  below  that  sown  last  year,  the 
greatest  decrease  being  in  a  group  of  counties  in  the  western  part  of  the 


19D 


TftABS  AKD  OOMHXBCl  OF 


State  including,  Pettis,  Johnson,  Cass,  Bates,  Heniy,  Vernon,  St.  Glair  and 
Benton.  However,  these  are  not  large  wheat-prodaoing  coonties.  Seyeral 
correspondents  placed  the  acreage  in  their  localities  in  the  above  named 
coonties  as  low  as  10  to  90%  of  the  acreage  of  the  previous  year.  One- 
fourth  of  the  correspondents  reporting  for  the  State  reported  an  increased 
acreage.  It  should  be  remembered  that  last  year's  crop  was  much  larger 
than  the  average  and  that  the  crop  now  sown  was  42%  larger  than  the  crop 
harvested  in  1900.

CORN. 

The  com  crop  is  king  in  Missouri.  The  value  of  the  crop  for  this  year 
\s  equal  to  the  combined  value  of  all  other  farm  products.  Com  being  the 
main  crop,  there  is  less  variation  in  the  area  devoted  to  com  tbian  to  any 
other  crop  except  perhaps  the  area  devoted  to  grass.  The  season  of  1902 
was  generally  favorable  for  the  growth  of  the  com  crop,  although  in  several 
of  the  extreme  southeastern  counties  the  crop  was  damaged  by  drouth,  and 
in  a  large  number  of  southwestern  counties  extensive  rains  prevented  proper 
cultivation  and  reduced  the  yield.  Taking  the  State  as  a  whole,  the  yield 
is  the  largest  on  record.  The  total  production  807,800,000  bushels.  This 
gives  Missouri  first  rank  in  the  United  States  in  average  yield,  and  only 
second  in  total  production.  The  largest  crop  previous  to  this  was  in  1896, 
when  the  total  yield  was  260,000,000  bushels.  This  makes  an  increase  above 
that  year  of  67,000,000  bushels.  The  average  yield  for  the  State  is  40 
bushels,  which  is  two  bushels  above  the  yield  of  the  highest  previous  year, 
which  was  also  in  1896,  when  the  average  production  was  88  bushels.  The 
quality  of  the  grain  is  generally  good,  although  some  damage  has  been 


THi  omr  or  st.  Loms. 


191 


siutained  on  accocmt  of  the  extremely  wet  season.  The  average  quality  of 
the  crop  is  96,  compared  with  average  of  45  the  previous  year.  The  total 
value  of  the  crop^  not  including  the  value  of  the  fodder,  is  $197,089,000. 

The  five  oountieB  in  the  State  having  the  largest  acreage  planted  in  com 
are  in  order  named  as  follows :  Nodaway,  Bates,  Atchison,  Saline,  Vernon. 
A  great  many  farms  in  different  parts  of  the  State  have  made  phenomenal 
yields.  A  number  have  been  reported  making  from  75  to  110  bushels  per 
acre.    Further  detailed  information  is  given  in  the  following  tables :

NoTS.— The  acreage  given  In  the  above  tables  for  Oom  and  Wheat  have  been 
corrected  upon  the  basis  of  the  census  of  1899. 


OATS. 

On  account  of  the  high  price  of  seed  oats  in  the  spring,  the  acreage 
sown  to  oats  was  decreased  15%  below  the  previous  year.  The  oats  in  some 
localities  failed  to  germinate  or  were  killed  by  late  freezing,  and  about  8%  of 
the  oat  crop  sown  was  plowed  up  and  planted  to  other  crops.  The  greatest 
decrease  of  acreage  was  in  the  southwest  section^  which  was  caused  largely 
by  it  being  too  wet  for  seeding  at  the  proper  time.  The  average  yield  of 
the  crop  this  year  was  31  bushels  per  acre  and  of  good  quality  at  the  time 
of  harvesting,  but  on  account  of  rain  during  and  after  harvest^  the  crop 
was  damaged  25%. 

MEADOWS. 

The  area  devoted  to  the  hay  crop  has  been  in  the  past  few  years  about 
as  stable  as  the  area  devoted  to  any  of  the  principal  farm  crops.  However, 
on  account  of  the  drouth  last  year  which  killed  out  a  great  many  meadows^ 


192  TRADE  AND  COMMERCE  OF 

the  area  this  year  hag  been  reduced  15  % .  The  average  per  acre  is  given  by 
all  correspondents  for  timothy^  1.6,  clover  1.76  tons.  The  average  yield  of 
timothy  for  the  past  five  years  has  been  1.55  tons.  The  average  price  of 
timothy  per  ton  on  November  Ist,  this  year,  was  $6.57  and  for  clover,  $5.86. 
The  value  of  the  hay  crop  in  the  State  is  exceeded  only  by  the  value  of 
wheat  and  com. 


THE  FRUIT  CROP. 

By  L.  A.  Goodman,  Secretary  Missouri  State  Horticultural  Society. 


The  apple  crop  was  only  about  one-half  and  the  peach  crop  only  one- 
fourth.  The  cold  killed  the  buds^  and  only  a  very  small  portion  of  the 
trees  bore  any  crop  at  all. 

Missouri  has  about  20,000^000  trees  in  orchard,  the  largest  area  of  any 
State  in  the  Union,  and  it  will  not  be  many  years  before  this  State  will  be 
first  in  number  of  bushels  produced. 

The  increase  in  acreage  of  apple  and  peach  trees,  is  somewhat  phenom- 
inal,  and  there  seems  to  be  no  let  up.  The  apple  crop  of  the  year  is  valued 
at  $6,000,000.  The  peach  crop  $1,000,000,  the  berry  crop  $2,000,000  and 
other  fruits  $1,000,000.

By  Philip  H.  Hals,  Publisher  National  Farmer  and  Stock  Reporter. 


In  keeping  with  the  continued  growth  of  the  St.  Louis  cattle  market^ 
the  dressed  beef  trade  broke  the  record  once  more.  The  gain  in  home 
slaughter  in  the  jear  1902  was  76^039  cattle  and  43^119  calves.  This  is  over 
and  above  the  high  mark  of  the  previous  year.  This  gain  in  slaughter  is 
wholly  due  to  the  enlargement  of  the  houses  which  have  made  every  gain 
heretofore  recorded.  It  ten  years  the  dressed  beef  trade  of  the  city  has 
been  enlarged  four  to  one. 

During  the  year  1902^  another  immense  packing  plant  was  erected  at  the 
East  St.  Louis  National  Stock  Yards,  which  is  fully  capable  of  increasing 
it«  present  output  one-third.  The  new  house  is  about  finished  and  ready 
for  business;  thus  insuring  further  gains  in  the  dressed  beef  trade  in  the 
year  1903.  The  dressed  beef  trade  handled  683,827  cattle  and  103,893  calves 
in  1902.  The  cattle  slaughter  was  the  largest  on  record  at  the  market,  and 
the  number  of  calves  slaughtered  and  dressed  for  the  market,  passed  the 
hundred  thousand  mark  for  the  first  time  in  the  history  of  the  city.  The 
outward  shipments  of  dressed  beef  and  veal  in  the  year  1902,  amounted  to 
the  magnificent  total  of  318,387,455  pounds.  This  did  not  exceed  the  ship- 
ments of  the  previous  year  for  the  reason  that  home  consumption  claims 
larger  and  larger  quantities  each  succeeding  year.  The  refrigerated 
dressed  beef  received  at  St.  Louis  in  the  year  1902,  amoimted  to  31,968,200 
pounds,  the  smallest  amount  in  five  years,  denoting  without  doubt  the 
increasing  ability  of  home  slaughterers  to  control  the  local  trade  while 
gaining  in  general  shipments  to  the  large  Eastern  cities. 

The  firms  engaged  in  the   dressed  beef  trade  of   St.  Louis,  report 

unanimously  great  improvements  in  facilities  and  enlargement  of  plants. 
It  is  a  trade  in  which  St.  Louis  is  gaining  in  greater  proportion  than  other 
centers. 

The  following  statement  gives  the  cattle  and  calves  slaughtered  at 
St.  Louis  and  East  St.  Louis  by  dressed  beef  houses,  also  the  receipts  and 
shipments  of  dressed  beef:

226  TBAOB  AND  OOlOaBOB  OF 


LIVE  STOCK. 


By  E.  S.  MoInTTBa,  Assistant  Editor  of  the  Daily  National  Live-Stock  Reporter. 


For  the  first  time  in  the  hiitoty  of  the  live  stock  market  at  St.  Louis  the 
receipts  of  cattle  passed  the  million  mark^  the  total  arrivals  amounting  to 
1^181,628  head,  which  Is  211^747  more  than  the  previous  record  made  in 
1901  y  and  more  tlian  double  the  number  received  any  year  prior  to  1891. 
The  arrivals  of  sheep^  540,443^  is  also  a  slight  increase  over  1901,  and  the 
largest  ever  received  except  in  1896  and  1897.  Hog  receipts  amounted  to 
1^494^395  head,  which  is  not  only  nearly  750,000  less  than  arrived  in  1901, 
but  less  than  arrived  any  year  since  1895.  The  drouth  and  the  failure  to 
raise  a  com  crop  in  Missouri  during  1901  is  the  cause  for  so  large  a  falling 
off  of  hog  supplies.  Compared  with  last  year^  the  receipts  of  horses  and 
mules  show  a  loss  of  nearly  27,000  head^  and  are  the  smallest  since  1897. 
The  total  number  of  all  classes  of  stock  combined  received  during  the 
year  amounts  to  3^891,163  head,  which  is  the  largest  on  record  except  1901. 

While  the  arrivals  of  cattle  were  increasing,  the  demand  was  also  grow- 
ing, and  as  a  cattle  market,  St.  Louis  at  the  close  of  1902  holds  a  much 
stronger  position  than  ever  before.  As  for  the  arrivals  of  hogs,  they  were 
simply  a  disappointment  to  the  buying  interest  from  the  beginning  to  the 
close  of  the  year ;  in  fact  the  greater  portion  of  the  time  the  supply  was 
not  more  than  half  as  large  as  the  demand.  The  demand  from  the  larger 
packing  houses  at  present  is  not  only  greater  than  ever  before,  but  local 
butchers  which  are  a  larger  factor  in  the  trade  here  than  at  any  other 
market  in  the  United  States,  are  using  larger  numbers  of  all  kinds  of  stock 
than  at  any  time  in  the  past.  Another  feature  of  the  trade  which  has 
been  on  the  increase  for  several  years,  is  the  percent  of  arrivals  bought  and 
slaughtered  locally.  It  is  very  seldom  that  prices  offered  justify  forward- 
ing the  stock  to  other  markets^  as  was  the  case  up  to  a  few  years  ago. 

Another  improvement  in  the  market  is,  that  at  present  the  demand  is 
more  uniform  one  day  with  another,  than  ever  before;  consequently  the 
arrivals  during  1902  were  well  cleaned  up  each  day.  The  amount  of  busi- 
ness done  in  dollars  and  cents  is  by  far  the  largest  since  the  establishment 
of  the  market,  as  values  were  on  the  highest  basis  in  all  branches  of  the 
trade.  While  the  growth  of  the  market  in  the  past  has  been  enormous, 
the  outlook  for  the  future  is  brighter  than  ever  before.  Another  great 
slaughter  house  will  be  open  for  business  early  in  the  spring,  and  as  it 
will  have  a  capacity  of  1,600  cattle,  3,500  hogs  and  2,500  sheep  per  day, 
increased  supplies  will  be  needed  to  meet  this  enormous  demand. 


THK  OITT  09  ST.  LOXHS.  227 

NATIVB  CATTLB. 

Owing  to  the  drouth  in  Missouri  which  caused  stock  raisers  to  market 
their  cattle  in  1901  instead  of  holding  them  over  and  breeding  them  as  they 
generally  do^  the  receipts  of  native  cattle  last  year  show  quite  a  decrease 
compared  with  the  previous  year.  This  decrease  was  principally  of  good 
to  choice^  com  fed  beef  steers.  This  of  course  made  the  better  class  sell  at 
a  premium^  and  not  for  many  years  has  the  price  for  good  butcher  and 
export  cattle  been  as  high  as  during  the  year  just  closed. 

The  highest  price  paid  during  the  year  was  $8.75  per  cwt.  during 
August^  and  the  top  reached  $8.00  or  more  nine  different  weeks,  while 
more  than  half  the  weeks  in  the  year  it  was  $7.00  or  more.  Under  normal 
conditions,  prices  $2.00  per  cwt.  less  than  these  would  be  considered  high. 
Other  grades  of  stock  sold  proportionately  as  high.  The  extraordinary 
high  prices  paid  is  8ufl9cient  proof  that  the  demand  was  extra  good.  In 
the  stocker  and  breeder  line  the  business  also  shows  a  decrease  which  is 
also  explained  by  the  heavy  marketing  of  cattle  from  Missouri  during  1901. 
Illinois  and  eastern  breeders  who  usually  get  their  supplies  at  this  market 
were  greatly  disappointed  at  the  small  number  that  arrived,  and  many 
limes  had  to  look  elsewhere  tor  cattle  or  do  without  them. 

From  every  point  of  view,  the  prospects  for  native  cattle  trade  in  this 
market  is  much  better  than  ever  before.  The  demand  has  already  increased 
and  larger  supplies  are  expected. 

SOUTHERN  CATTLE, 

In  the  Southern  or  Quarantine  Department,  cattle  arrivals  broke  all 
previous  records,  by  nearly  10,000  cars,  or  about  275,000  head.  The  total 
number  of  cars  received  during  the  year  was  27,487,  containing  800,662 
cattle.  The  St.  Louis  market  has  been  recognized  for  many  years  as  the 
largest  in  the  United  States  for  quarantine  cattle,  and  the.  fact  was  still 
more  noticeable  during  the  past  year.  The  record  was  also  broken  in 
prices;  the  best  selling  up  to  $8,  and  the  general  market  throughout  the 
year  was  also  much  higher  than  ever  before.  There  are  two  reasons  for 
tills,  one  the  small  supplies  of  native,  and  the  other  that  the  cattle  were  of 
better  quality,  and  better  prepared  to  make  beef  than  any  time  in  the  past. 

Southern  cattlemen  are  fast  finding  out  that  this  is  the  best  market  from 
every  point  of  view,  and  the  prospects  are  good  that  in  a  few  years  there 
will  be  but  one  market  for  quarantine  cattle,  and  that  one  will  be  located 
at  St.  Louis. 

HOQS. 

The  hog  market  was  a  disappointment  to  the  trade  from  the  beginning 
to  the  end  of  the  year.  The  receipts  for  the  year  show  a  loss  as  compared 
with  1901  of  nearly  750,000  head,  or  about  2,600  per  day,  and  were  the 
smallest  since  1895,  but  larger  than  any  year  previous  to  that  time.  The 
redeeming  feature  of  the  arrivals  were  their  quality.  Never  in  the  history 
of  the  market  was  there  so  large  a  proportion  of  the  receipts  good,  well 
fattened,  medium  and  heavy  weights.    This  is  explained  by  the  teiritory 


22S  TBADB  AND  OOMMKBCB  OF 

from  which  they  came.  Iowa  and  Central  niinols  fomiBhed  a  mach  larger 
nomber  than  ever  before.  Missonri  on  account  of  failure  to  raise  a  com 
crop  in  1901,  marketed  less  hogs  than  any  year  for  a  quarter  of  a  century^ 
and  the  southern  part  of  the  State  and  Arkansas,  practically  shipped  no 
hogs  of  any  kind.  The  total  number  of  pigs  and  lights  reoeived  during  the 
year  is  not  any  larger  than  were  received  during  the  last  two  months  of 
1901.  So  while  the  number  of  head  shows  an  enormous  decrease,  the 
decrease  in  pounds  is  not  near  so  large. 

The  year  opened  with  the  best  hogs  selling  around  $6.75,  which  was 
$1.60  per  cwt.  higher  than  the  opening  of  1901.  During  the  first  three 
months  of  the  year  values  declined  slightly,  but  early  in  the  spring  prices 
took  an  upturn  and  continued  to  advance  until  the  middle  of  July,  when 
the  best  hogs  sold  at  $8.25,  the  highest  price  reached  since  early  in  1893. 
The  market  then  began  declining,  and  by  the  middle  of  August  the  loss 
amounted  to  about  75  cents  per  100  pounds,  when  another  advance  set  in, 
and  by  the  middle  of  September  prices  were  almost  as  high  as  during  the 
best  time  of  the  year.  During  the  last  three  months  of  the  year  there  was 
a  steady  decline,  and  at  the  close  the  market  was  fully  $1.50  per  100  pounds 
lower  than  the  high  time  in  July,  and  on  exactly  the  same  basis  as  at  the 
beginning  of  the  year.  At  the  high  time  prices  were  $2  higher  than  at  the 
same  time  the  previous  year,  and  throughout  the  year  ranged  as  a  rule 
fully  $1.50  higher,  and  more  than  double  prices  paid  a  few  years  ago  during 
the  extreme  low  period. 

Not  more  than  a  dozen  days  during  the  entire  year  did  the  receipts 
approach  what  might  be  called  a  liberal  supply,  but  most  of  the  time  were 
not  sufficient  to  meet  more  than  half  of  the  demand.  So  great  was  the 
local  demand  that  the  Eastern  buyers,  which  heretofore  have  been  an 
important  factor  in  the  trade,  were  almost  entirely  shut  out.  Never  was 
there  so  good  a  demand  from  the  small  city  butchers,  which  of  course  made 
competition  keen  on  the  best  grades,  and  frequently  they  not  only  sold  as 
high  as  some  of  the  Eastern  markets,  but  often  higher.  Packers  as  a  rule 
got  only  about  half  the  number  wanted;  yet  they  were  willing  to  pay  good 
strong  prices  for  them.  It  is  hoped  and  expected  that  not  only  the  decrease 
of  the  past  year  will  be  made  up  in  1908,  but  that  all  previous  records  will 
be  greatly  surpassed.  This  will  be  necessary  in  order  to  meet  the  demand, 
as  buyers  already  on  the  field  not  only  want  increased  supplies,  but  the  new 
plant,  which  will  soon  be  in  operation,  will  need  over  half  a  million.  This 
enormous  demand  insures  to  the  farmers  tributary  to  St.  Louis,  a  good 
strong  market  for  all  the  good  quality,  well  fattened  hogs  they  can  possibly 
raise. 

SHEEP. 

The  sheep  market  during  1902  was  in  good  condition  from  every  point 
of  view.  The  receipts  amounted  to  5i0,443  head,  which  is  a  slight  increase 
over  1901,  and  the  largest  on  record  except  in  1896  and  1897.  The  demand 
was  larger  and  more  uniform  than  ever  before,  and  prices  averaged  higher 
than  any  year  recently.    While  the  receipts  are  not  quite  the  largest  ever 


THE  OITT  OF  ST.  LOUIS.  229 

received;  the  sales  are  by  far  the  largest,  as  practically  the  entire  namber 
received  were  sold,  and  all  that  were  flt  for  mutton  were  slaughtered  by 
local  concerns. 

The  only  fault  to  find  with  this  branch  of  the  trade  was  that  supplies 
were  not  sufficient  to  meet  the  demand,  and  buyers  were  frequently  forced 
to  make  purchases  at  other  markets  and  ship  them  in  to  fill  urgent  orders. 
This  of  course  is  sufficient  proof  that  everything  offered  for  sale,  found  the 
market  on  a  good  high  basis  compared  with  others  where  supplies  were 
larger  than  the  demand. 

Another  branch  of  the  sheep  trade  which  has  improved  considerably  in 
the  past  few  years,  but  is  yet  in  its  infancy,  is  the  stocker  and  feeder 
department.  Country  buyers  secured  nearly  twice  as  many  sheep  in  1902 
as  during  the  year  previous,  and  yet  were  unable  to  get  more  than  one-half 
as  many  as  they  wanted.  No  branch  of  the  trade  has  any  brighter  future 
before  it  than  the  sheep  department,  and  farmers  and  stock  raisers  tributary 
to  St.  Louis  will  be  well  paid  for  their  trouble  if  they  will  give  this  matter 
a  little  more  attention. 

The  year  opened  with  the  best  lambs  selling  around  $5.00  per  cwt.,  but 
gradually  advanced  until  they  were  bringing  $7.00.  In  the  mean  time  good 
mutton  sheep  advanced  from  $4.25  to  $6.35.  The  first  spring  lambs  sold 
quickly  at  $10.00  per  cwt.,  but  declined  to  $7.00  by  July  1st.  Sheep  also 
declined  until  early  in  the  summer,  the  best  were  selling  around  $4.00. 
Lambs  continued  to  decline  until  by  the  1st  of  October  the  best  were  worth 
only  $5.60,  and  showed  no  material  change  between  that  time  and  the  end 
of  the  year.  During  the  last  six  months  sheep  remained  on  much  the  same 
basis,  but  sold  a  little  higher  right  at  the  end  of  the  year;  the  best  being 
worth  $4.25  to  $4.50. 

HORSES  AND  MULES. 

While  the  receipts  in  this  branch  of  the  live  stock  market  show  a  small 
decrease  as  compared  with  1901,  they  were  still  larger  than  that  of  any 
other  market  in  the  world.  The  low  prices  paid  a  few  years  ago  caused 
farmers  to  discontinue  raising  so  many  horses  and  mules,  and  the  heavy 
demand  from  the  British  government  during  1900  and  1901  are  responsible 
for  the  decrease  in  business  during  the  past  year. 

Although  the  receipts  were  smaller,  there  was  no  material  decrease  to 
the  demand,  and  all  good  horses  sold  readily  and  on  the  highest  basis  for 
several  years.  The  best  sellers  were  the  good  draft  horses  and  good  drivers 
and  coachers.  Horses  are  now  selling  for  nearly  double  what  they  did  a 
few  years  ago,  and  at  no  time  during  the  last  half  of  the  year  were  buyers 
able  to  get  more  than  half  as  many  as  they  wanted.  On  account  of  the 
high  prices  the  export  trade  was  not  near  so  large  as  former  years. 

The  mule  trade  of  course  was  much  the  same  as  in  the  horse  line. 
Beceipts  were  smaller  and  prices  higher  than  any  time  for  several  years. 
While  the  export  fell  off  to  a  considerable  extent,  the  Eastern  and  Southern 
demand  was  quite  good,  which  kept  the  trade  in  good  lively  condition,  and

Nearly  all  the  lesl  tobacco  wu  brought  from  polntg  outside  the  Sttte, 

iaigely  from  Kentuckj,  and  used  \>j  the  locail  factories  In  the  manofscture 

ol  iobaooo,  SDuS,  olskra  and  olgarettes.    Some  receipts  were  from  Cuba 

and  Porto  Rloo  tor  tBe  manufacture  of  cigars. 

MANUFACTURED. 

St.  Louie  maintalDed  Its  position  as  the  place  irhere  more  tobacco  Is 
muiufactared  annually  than  any  other  place  in  the  world.  The  total 
amount  mannfactored  In  1903  In  the  first  Hlssoori  district,  of  which 
nearlr  the  entire  amount  is  the  output  ot  Bt.  Louis  factories,  was  83,693,541 
potiDda,  against  79,294.957  pounds  in  1900  and  83,010,863  pounds  In  1901, 
and,  if  snuft  le  Included,  the  amount  would  be  82,003.966  pounds.  In 
addition  to  the  amount  manufactured  In  St.  Louis,  there  was  received 
16,962,410  pounds  from  other  points,  maldng  the  total  business  of  the  year 
99,566,370  pounds.    Shipments  were  94,330,136  pounds. 

The  output  ol  cigars  was  48,131,634.  The  total  number  of  cigars  sold  In 
this  market  during  the  year  Is  placed  at  276,000,000.  The  value  of  tobacco 
and  cigars  manufactured  was  fully  $46,000,000. 

The  Commissioner  of  Internal  Revenue  reports  the  total  amount  of 
tobacco  manufactured  In  the  United  States  In  1901  as  813,891,391  pounds, 
ot  which  the  first  Missouri  district  produced  81,131,104  pounds,  equal  to 
neariy  36%. 

The  figures  for  190a  are  not  now  available,  but  as  the  St.  Louis  output 
of  1903  was  considerably  increased,  doubtless  the  percent^  for  1902  will 
correspondingly  increase.

factored  and  an  increase  in  the  amount  on  hand  at  dose  of  the  year  as

The  receipts  of  naval  stores,  as  indicated  by  the  above  table,  show  a 
falling  off  of  both  turpentine  and  rosin  from  1901,  but  larger  receipts  than 
for  1900  and  1899.  The  larger  part  of  the  naval  stores  received  at  this  point 
are  handled  by  St.  Louis  houses,  this  being  the  largest  distributing  point 
in  the  West,  only  a  small  portion  being  shipped  through  to  Western 
cities. 

Turpentine  ranged  from  41  to  56  cents  per  gallon  during  the  year,  and 
rosin  was  quoted  at  $1.65  to  $2.20  per  barrel  for  common,  $4.50  to  $4.90  for 
the  best  grades. 


240  TRADE  AND  OOHMEBOS  OF 


LEAD  AND  SPELTER. 


PIQ  LEAD. 

By  John  Wahl  Ck>mmi8Slon  Ck>. 

The  course  of  the  lead  market  dnring  the  year  1902  was  very  uninterest- 
ing in  many  respects^  and  was  followed  with  no  marked  attention  on  the 
part  of  those  directly  or  indirectly  connected  with  the  industiy^  as  well  as 
by  the  general  public.  The  prices  of  Missouri  lead  in  St  Louis  ranged 
between  $3.90  and  $4.00  during  the  entire  year;  and  for  desilverized;  the 
price  remained  stationary  at  $4.05.  It  proved  impossible  to  bring  about 
the  same  high  range  of  values  as  that  of  the  previous  year  (average  1902  is 
about  ^  cent  pound  lower  than  for  1901),  owing  to  the  danger  of  foreign 
lead  being  imported  even  with  a  duty  of  2)^  cents  per  pound.  This  was 
due  to  the  fact  that  the  European  markets  have  been  very  much  depressed 
and  on  account  of  bad  business  abroad,  and  constant  fear  of  a  deluge  of 
exports  from  this  side,  in  the  event  of  an  advance.  While  the  consumption 
of  lead  in  the  United  States  has  been  very  heavy,  the  demand  for  electrical 
purposes,  cables,  etc.,  especially,  showing  a  large  increase,  and  while  the 
stocks  existing  at  the  end  of  1901  have  practically  disappeared,  it  was  nec- 
essary in  order  to  bring  about  the  existing  state  of  affairs  to  take  recourse 
to  the  same  expedient  as  those  of  last  year,  namely,  to  curtail  the  produc- 
tion of  ores  and  export  certain  quantities  of  domestic  lead  to  Europe.  This 
naturally  entailed  heavy  sacrifice,  which,  however,  to  a  large  degree  came 
out  of  the  pockets  of  the  ore  producers.  There  has  also  been  a  tendency 
to  centralize  the  smelting  of  ores,  and  refining  of  lead  bullion  by  closing 
down  some  of  the  plants  and  diverting  material  to  others. 

The  silver  mines  of  Coeur  d^Alene  districts  in  Idaho  were  actively 
worked  throughout  the  year  and  showed  an  increase  in  the  total  production, 
while  the  mines  of  the  same  class  in  Montana  and  Colorado  were  also 
active. 

The  soft  lead  mines  of  Missouri  showed  a  remarkable  increase;  the 
reported  production  for  1902  being  74,3G3  short  tons  as  compared  with 
57,898  tons  in  1901. 

Total  production  of  desilverized,  antimonial  and  Missouri  lead  for  the 
year  1902  amounts  to  nominally  300,000  tons,  as  compared  with  280,000  tons 
for  the  year  1901. 

The  St  Louis  receipts  for  the  year  were  2,007,720  pigs  against  1,800,236 
in  1901,  and  shipments  1,354,119  pigs  as  compared  with  1,243,956  pigs  the 
previous  year,  showing  that  the  amount  handled  was  considerably  larger 
in  1902. 


THE  CITY  OF  ST.  LOUIS.  241 


WHITE  LEAD. 

St.  Louis  holds  the  foremost  position  in  the  manofacture  of  white  lead. 
The  brands  of  St.  Louis  have  an  established  reputation  for  purity  and  gen- 
eral excellence.  It  is  estimated  that  one-tliird  of  the  output  in  the  United 
States  is  manufactured  here.  Near  the  close  of  the  year  a  new  company 
was  organized  and  the  construction  of  a  large  white  lead  plant  commenced 
which  will  soon  be  in  operation  and  add  largely  to  the  output  of  1903. 

That  the  business  is  increasing  year  by  year  is  shown  by  the  following 
statement  of  shipments  which  does  not  include  the  amount  used  in  the  city 
and  suburbs  or  on  the  World's  Fair  buildings.

SPELTER. 

The  spelter  industry  during  the  year  1902  has  been  marked  by  numerous 
features  of  interest.  The  consumptiye  demand  for  the  metal  has  been  very 
large  in  spite  of  a  somewhat  slack  call  from  the  galvanlzers^  and  although 
pn'Kluction  was  very  large  the  prices  for  the  metal  rose  gradually  during 
the  year  and  remained  practically  at  high  level  imtil  November,  when  the 
market  assumed  a  sagging  tendency.  The  year  opened  with  the  market 
for  spelter  rather  dull  and  irregular  at  around  (4.16  nominally.  Towards 
the  end  of  January  prices  declined  to  nominally  $3.85.  The  month  of  Feb- 
ruary again  showed  more  animation  and  prices  advanced  to  $4.16.  The 
highest  point  was  reached  during  August  when  prices  reached  $6.25  to 
$5.30.  The  year  closes  tame  with  sellers  of  metal  around  4.37>^  to  4.40.  The 
production  of  metallic  zinc  or  spelter  in  the  United  States  during  the  year 
1902  amounted  to  nominally  168^000  tons,  which  is  the  highest  on  record 
and  nearly  double  that  of  1896.  The  production  in  1901  was  140,000  tons, 
which  shows  an  increase  for  the  year  1902  of  something  like  17,000  tons 
orl2>ii%.

WOOL  AND  FURS. 


By  FtmsTON  OoxifissiON  Oo. 


WOOL. 

The  year  1902  can  really  be  called  the  most  succesgful  and  satisfactory 
one  known  to  the  St.  Louis  wool  trade  for  many  years.  From  the  opening 
of  the  season^  which  is  shearing  time,  to  the  close  of  the  year,  there  has 
been  a  good  healthy  and  legitimate  demand  for  wool  on  the  part  of  the  mills 
and  manufacturers  from  all  over  the  country.  The  St.  Louis  merchants, 
pursuing  the  custom  that  they  have  in  recent  years,  laid  in  a  good  supply 
by  buying  heavily  at  shearing  time  in  the  leading  wool  producing  States 
and  Territories.  They  not  only  bought  in  large  quantities,  but  showed 
good  judgment  in  securing  the  most  desirable  wools.  Manufacturers 
realizing  this  naturally  favored  St.  Louis  more  than  usual,  and  were  buying 
in  this  market  steadily  throughout  the  season.  There  has  been  no  boom 
whatever,  but  a  good  healthy  consumptive  demand.  Prices  as  a  whole  have 
been  relatively  higher  than  the  previous  season,  which  was  caused  mainly 
by  the  increased  demand  for  wool,  and  the  general  healthy  condition  of  the 
trade.  For  instance,  at  the  beginning  of  the  year,  domestic  quarter  blood 
combing  wools  sold  to  the  mills  at  20  to  21  cents,  while  at  the  close  of  the 
year  it  sold  at  23  to  24  cents.  Territory  wools  of  other  grades  and  sections 
also  experienced  the  same  advance  in  prices.  There  is  less  shoddy,  cotton 
or  other  substitutes  used  in  the  manufacture  of  woolen  goods  than  ever,  and 
the  increased  demand  and  a  general  healthy  condition  of  the  wool  trade 
being  reported  from  foreign  markets,  also  tended  to  strengthen  the  position 
of  wool  in  this  market. 

Each  year  St.  Louis  grows  stronger  and  more  popular  as  a  wool  market, 
and  is  now  recognized  as  a  big  factor  in  the  wool  trade  of  the  West,  and 
does  much  toward  establishing  values  in  the  Territories  at  shearing  time. 
It  is  the  second  largest  market  in  the  United  States,  and  a  very  strong 
competitor  for  both  domestic  and  territory  wools,  and  draws  supplies  from 
a  greater  scope  of  territory  than  ever  before. 

Pulled  and  scoured  wools  have  kept  pace  with  the  fleece  and  territory 
wools,  and  have  sold  extremely  well  during  the  past  year.  The  amount 
handled  in  this  market  being  somewhat  larger  than  the  previous  year.  A 
conservative  estimate  of  the  value  of  wool  handled  in  St.  Louis  during  1902, 
amounts  to  about  $11,000,000. 

FUR. 

St.  Louis  has  even  increased  her  importance  as  a  great  fur  center,  and 
the  season  of  1902  and  1903  will  prove  a  record  breaker  in  many  respects. 
It  is  a  well  known  fact  that  St.  Louis  is  the  largest  primary  fur  market  in 


244 


TRADE  AND  COMMERCE  OF 


the  world,  and  the  largest  coon  skin  market  in  the  world,  not  excepting 

London  or  any  of  the  foreign  markets.    During  the  past  season  it  has  been 

more  of  an  independent  market  than  ever.    It  has  taken  the  lead  and 

established  its  own  values  for  furs.    As  a  primary  market  it  doubtless 

draws  furs  from  a  greater  scope  of  territory  than  any  market  in  the  world. 

It  has  made  its  greatest  strides  in  the  past  four  or  Ave  years,  having  reached 

out  into  the  most  remote  parts  of  the  far  North,  where  the  rarest  and  most 

expensive  furs  are  to  be  secured.    For  instance,  the  finer  bear  skins  bring 

from  $25  to  $100  each,  and  the  beautiful  skins  of  the  silver  fox  sell  for  from 

$200  to  $600,  and  the  rarer  specimens  often  sell  as  high  as  $1,000  each.   Many 

other  kinds  from  the  far  North,  such  as  Marten,  Lynx,  Otter,  etc.,  sell  at 

$5  to  $30  per  skin. 

The  catch  for  the  season  of  1902  and  1908  will  be  somewhat  smaller  in 

volume  than  in  1901  and  1902,  but  on  account  of  the  advance  in  prices  the 

total  value  will  be  ereater.  The  active  fur  season  only  lasts  about  four 
months  in  the  year,  during  which  time  something  over  $4,600,000  worth  of 
raw  furs  are  received  and  sold  in  this  market.

HAY. 


By  the  St.  Ijouis  Hay  Exchange. 

The  hay  market  throughout  the  year  has  been  in  very  j^od  condition, 
and  at  the  close  of  the  year  we  find  there  is  a  smaller  stock  on  hand  than 
for  seyeral  years — only  about  600  tons  in  store.  In  fact  there  has  been  no 
surplus  stock  to  speak  of  at  any  time  during  the  year  as  the  supply  has 
hardly  been  equal  to  the  demand.  The  receipts  for  1902  fell  under  those  of 
1901  by  about  88,000  tons;  but  this  shortage,  we  believe,  was  due  mainly  to 
the  lack  of  proper  railway  facilities,  it  beins  almost  impossible  to  obtain 
empty  cars,  during  the  past  few  months,  to  load  with  hay. 

The  prices  on  both  timothy  and  prairie  hay  have  ruled  high  throughout 
the  year.  This  was  especially  noticeable  during  the  last  two  or  three 
months.  Shipments  for  the  year  have  been  very  large,  considering  that 
prior  to  the  new  crop  most  of  our  hay  came  from  Mi3iigan,  Indiana  and 
Iowa.  While  the  Southeast  didn^t  take  as  much  hay  from  this  market  as 
in  former  years,,  when  our  crops  were  larger,  a  demand  sprung  up  from 
nearby  towns  which  took  care  of  any  surplus  we  might  have. 

Considering^  the  shortage  in  the  crop  during  the  first  part  of  the  season, 
and  the  lack  of  railway  f aSlities  during  the  last  few  months,  we  think  that 
St.  Louis  did  her  share  of  the  business,  and  the  St.  Louis  merchants  should 
be  given  great  credit  for  their  efforts  under  adverse  conditions.

CANDIE5. 


St.  Louis  continues  to  be  one  of  the  greatest  candy  markets  in  the 
United  States. 

The  Yolume  of  business  in  1902  has  been  about  the  same  as  in  1901, 
and  the  class  of  goods  purchased  during  the  year  would  show  an  increasing 
appreciation  of  the  higher  grades  of  confectionery  by  consumers  generally. 

There  are  seven  large  factories  in  St.  Louis,  employing  about  2,000 
hands  and  paying  in  wages  nearly  three-quarters  of  a  million  dollars  per 
annum. 

All  grades  of  candies  are  manufactured,  from  the  cheapest  to  the  most 
expensive,  thus  offering  to  the  purchaser,  whether  he  be  wholesaler  or 
retailer,  facilities  for  selection  unsurpassed  by  any  other  market  in  the 
country. 

The  trade  extends  oyer  nearly  the  entire  United  States,  reaching  on  the 
east  to  the  New  England  and  the  Atlantic  Coast  States,  and  on  the  west  to 
the  Pacific  Slope. 

St.  Louis  is  geographically  the  center  of  the  Mississippi  Valley,  and 
enjoys  exceptional  advantages  as  a  distributing  x>oint.  This  gives  St.  Louis 
confectioners  a  predominating  position  with  the  Central,  Western  and 
Southern  States. 

The  confectionery  manufacturers  of  St.  Louis  are  progressive,  alert  and 
maintain  a  pre-eminent  reputation  for  integrity  and  fairness,  and  their 
business  constitutes  a  very  important  element  in  the  city^s  manufacturing 
industry,  and  aggregates  between  three  and  four  million  dollars  per 
annum  or  about  50,000,000  pounds  per  year.

DRIED  FRUIT. 


Bt  HoniAHiT  Brothsbs  Produci  Go. 


The  past  years*  business  in  the  dried  fruit  trade  has  been  a  satisfactory 
one,  although  the  prices  have  ruled  rather  low.  Receipts  of  all  kinds  of 
dried  fruits  showed  an  increase  of  more  than  25%  over  the  previous  year, 
and  are  the  largest  recorded  during  the  past  fourteen  years.  This  shows 
that  the  business  in  this  line  is  on  the  increase,  and  St.  Louis  now  ranks 
as  one  of  the  largest  distributing  markets  for  dried  fruits  of  all  kinds. 

California  and  Eastern  dried  fruits  are  shipped  here  in  large  quantities, 
and  from  here  sold  to  the  trade  tributary  to  this  great  center. 

Dried  and  evaporated  apples  are,  however,  the  principal  dried  fruits 
handled  in  this  market.  This  is  due,  aside  from  the  great  popularity 
enjoyed  by  this  most  staple  of  dried  fruits,  to  the  advantageous  position 
occupied  by  St.  Louis  as  the  natural  distributing  market  for  the  orchard 
products  of  Missouri,  Illinois  and  Arkansas.  The  fruit  growing  industry  in 
each  of  these  states  is  making  rapid  progress,  and  much  of  the  annual  crop 
is  dried  and  evaporated. 

Sundried  apples  are  a  commodity  wanted  and  required  by  a  certain  class 
of  trade  for  export,  as  well  as  for  domestic  use.  The  receipts  of  this  class 
of  fruit  were  very  small  this  season,  and  in  consequence  prices  were  high, 
about  the  same  as  bleached  evaporated  apples  of  the  better  grades  and 
much  higher  than  the  inferior  stock.  This  branch  of  the  industry  should 
not  be  neglected. 

The  outlook  for  a  large  spring  trade  in  dried  fruits  is  favorable.

THE  OITY  OF  ST.  LOUIS.  253 


FRUIT  AND  PRODUCE. 


By  Maklst  6.  Bighmond. 


Taken  as  a  whole,  the  business  of  St.  Louis,  in  1902,  has  surpassed  all 
preceding  years.  The  tonnage  larger,  and  the  values  on  most  commodities. 
veiT  satisactoiy.  Only  one  t)rancn  of  the  fruit  trade  has  been  a  decided 
sunerer  through  the  conditions  of  1902.  The  foreign  lemon  trade  specu- 
lators in  Sicily  lemons,  having  had  about  the  worst  season  in  their  records. 

APPLES. 

The  crop  of  1902,  was  the  largest  ever  raised  in  the  United  States, 
exceeding  the  bumper  crop  of  18%.  The  visible  supply  in  storage  on 
December  31st,  as  furnished  by  the  National  Apple  Shippers  Assoc&tion, 
including  the  holdings  of  Canada,  were  4,074.169  barrels,  equal  to  12,222,507 
bushels.  Exports  out  of  the  crop  up  to  December  31st,  were  1.737,070 
barrels.  The  total  exports  out  of  the  1896  crop,  was  2,900,000  barrels, 
which  were  the  largest  ever  exported  out  of  any  one  crop.  It  is  reasonable 
to  predict  that  the  exports  out  of  the  1902  crop  will  exceed  those  of  1896, 
by  several  thousand  barrels,  and  taking  into  consideration  that  the  values 
so  far,  have  been  fully  33)^  per  cent  better  than  the  preceding  bumper 
crop  year,  speaks  well  for  the  gaining  popularity  abroad  for  our  American 
apples.  The  States  looking  to  St.  Louis  for  their  distribution  of  its  crops, 
distributed  their  proportion  to  making  up  of  the  record  breaking  crop. 
The  receipts  for  St.  Louis,  were  448,22o  barrels,  (These  do  not  take  into 
account  the  wagon  receipts.) 

POTATOES. 

The  local  crop  of  potatoes  for  1902,  was  large.  Shipments  alone  out  of 
the  American  Bottom  was  5,175  cars,  equal  to  2,587,500  bushels.  Also 
wagon  receipts,  which  are  conservatively  estimated  at  800,000  bushels  more. 
The  average  price  paid  to  the  farmer  was  fifty  cents  per  bushel,  making 
$2,193,750  paid  out  for  the  crop.  The  receipts  for  1902,  added  to  the  Bottom 
potatoes,  were  2.729  cars  and  758.936  packages,  or  3,261,840  bushels,  making 
a  total  of  6,649,340  bushels  handled  through  tne  St.  Louis  market. 

The  Government  flgores  for  1902  crop,  were  large.  The  States  of  which 
St.  Louis  is  the  natural  outlet  and  distnbuting  center,  contributed  largely 
to  makixig  of  the  large  crop,  as  indicated  in  the  government  report  and 
received  handsome  returns.  As  a  whole,  the  potato  trade  was  very  satis- 
factory to  both  dealer  and  grower. 

ONIONS. 

The  receipts  of  onions  for  1902,  was  373  cars  and  106,600  packages:  these 
figures  do  not  include  the  local  crop,  which  was  moved  principally  by 
wagons. 

ORANGES  AND  LEMONS. 

The  receipts  of  oranges  for  1902.  was  675,779  boxes  and  barrels.  The 
receipts  of  lemons,  126,^1  boxes.  The  business  done  in  oranges  was  satis- 
factory, showing  a  gain  over  previous  year ;  but  the  lemon  traders  suffered 
to  some  extent,  owing  to  the  season  not  being  adapted  to  their  consumption, 
summer  too  cool. 

MELONS. 

Receipts  of  melons  for  1,902,  was  1940  cars.

REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  DIRECTORS. 


MEROHllirrS'  EXCHAKGE, 

St.  Louib,  Mo.,  January  Stli,  1904. 

To  the  Memhera  of  the  Merchanta^  Exchange  of  Bt.  LouU: 

Gentlemen — ^Tour  Board  of  Directors  submit  herewith  for  your  con- 
sideration and  information  a  brief  resume  of  the  affairs  of  the  Bzchange 
for  the  past  year,  with  a  financial  statement  and  action  taken  in  refer- 
ence to  the  annual  dues  for  the  coming  year. 

In  sympathy  with  the  acts  of  the  Board  of  1902,  in  reference  to 
needed  improvements,  your  Board  through  the  Real  Bstate  Committee, 
contracted  for  three  new  elevators  to  be  placed  in  the  center  of  the 
building,  and  the  same  are  now  in  operation  and  giving  general  satis- 
faction. The  grand  hall  has  been  renovated  and  a  new  floor  laid.  The 
exterior  of  the  building  has  been  painted  and  the  stone  and  iron  work 
renewed  in  many  places.  Improving  very  greatly  the  appearance  of  the 
property.  New  storm  doors  have  been  placed  at  the  Third  street  en- 
trances, and  a  new  mailchute  installed.  The  cost  of  the  work  com- 
pleted and  under  way  approximates  $31,000,  on  which  $19,472.60  has 
been  paid. 

Arrangements  have  been  made  with  the  Post  Office  Department  for 
enlarging  the  substation  now  installed  in  the  basement,  by  the  addi- 
tion of  a  financial  department,  a  carrier  station  and  pneumatic  tube 
service.  Every  facility  will  be  provided  and  the  quick  dispatch  of  mail 
matter  to  and  from  the  main  office  and  from  incoming  and  outgoing 
trains  will  be  secured. 

Other  improvements  were  planned  in  the  way  of  new  plumbing  and 
lavatory  appointments,  but  as  the  removal  of  the  north  and  south  ele* 
vators  was  involved  in  the  scheme,  it  was  necessarily  delayed,  but  may 
be  accomplished  in  the  present  year. 

This  additional  work,  and  the  further  fact  that  there  will  be  an  in- 
crease of  fixed  charges  in  bonds  to  be  redeemed  and  insurance  to  be 
placed  was  fully  considered  by  your  Board  in  determining  the  amount 
that  should  be  fixed  for  the  assessment  for  1904.  Former  Boards  have 
wisely  used  the  surplus  revenue  of  previous  years  in  retiring  bonds 
before  maturity,  and  thus  reducing  interest  charges,  resulting  in  there 
being  but  $3,000  of  bonds  remaining  unpaid  of  the  $15,000  maturing 
April  1st  last.    Efforts  to  secure  unmatured  bonds  were  unsucceBsfol, 


THI  OTTY  OF  ST.  LOTHS.  11 

showing  that  the  credit  of  the  Exchange  stands  high  in  the  oommunity. 
Fifteen  thousand  dollars  of  bonds  and  some  $4,000  for  renewal  of  insar- 
ance  will  be  passable  this  year. 

To  provide  sufficient  revenue  for  the  carrying  out  of  contemplated 
improvements  on  the  property,  for  meeting  all  necessary  expenses  inci- 
dent to  the  building  and  the  proper  needs  of  the  Association,  and  in 
view  of  unusual  demands  that  may  be  expected  on  account  of  the 
World's  Fair,  your  Board  at  the  meeting  held  on  December  17th  last 
fixed  the  assessment  to  be  paid  by  each  member  for  the  coming  year  at 
$40.00. 

All  the  offices  in  the  building  have  been  occupied  during  the  entire 
year,  and  in  some  instances  rentals  have  been  increased,  the  total  reve- 
nue from  this  source  being  $49,668.18,  as  compared  with  $48,989.08  in 
1902.  The  property  is  in  good  condition,  and  with  the  contemplated 
improvements  and  the  painting  and  renovating  of  the  interior  of  the 
office  portion,  no  additional  expenditures  will  be  needed  for  some  time 
to  come. 

The  financial  condition,  as  shown  by  the  report  of  the  Treasurer 
submitted  herewith,  will,  we  think,  be  found  entirely  satisfactory. 

While  the  Board  has  endeavored  to  be  conservative  in  expenditures, 
the  desire  has  been  to  secure  for  the  members  every  facility  for  the 
transaction  of  business  and  all  information  needed  as  to  the  markets  of 
the  world.  To  this  end  a  special  committee  was  authorized  to  install  a 
new  system  of  blackboards,  which  not  only  concentrated  the  telegraphic 
information  to  the  great  convenience  of  members,  but  also  adds  to  the 
adornment  of  our  grand  hall. 

The  real  estate  account  shows — 

Receipts  from  Rentals $49,663  18 

Transferred  from  Current  Account 1,600  00 

From  other  sources 270  61 

$61,688  79 

Expenditures  for  Current  Expenses $28,680  76 

"  "    Bonds 8,00000 

"  "    Improvements 19,472  60    $61,108  86

Total  Receipts $79,060  08 

Current  Expenses $66,660  11 

Transferred  to  Real  Estate  Account 1,600  00     67,260  11 

Balance $21,789  97 

The  membership  of  the  Exchange  at  present  is  1824,  there  having 
been  five  redemptions  during  the  year  and  two  forfeitures.  Thirty- 
three  members  have  been  taken  from  us  by  death.  Tour  Board  has  in 
each  instance  devoted  a  page  of  the  record  to  their  memory,  and  ex- 
tended its  sympathy  to  the  bereaved  families. 


12  TRADE  AND  OOMMBBOI  OF 

The  Department  of  Weights,  under  the  able  direction  of  the  Weigh- 
ing Committee,  has  done  most  eftecUye  work  and  merits  the  support 
of  all  members  of  the  Bzchange.  Many  abuses  have  been  disooyered 
and  corrected,  and  additional  safeguards  employed  to  secure  to  the 
shipper  and  dealer  protection  to  his  property  and  the  correct  weighing 
of  the  same.  It  is  demonstrated  that  the  complaint  so  often  made  of 
short  weights  was  not  on  account  of  incorrect  weiring,  but  because 
the  property  was  not  efEectively  protected  and  safeguarded  to  destina- 
tion. Much  has  been  accomplished  in  this  direction.  While  the  cost 
to  the  Bzchange  has  been  considerable,  your  Board  believes  it  was  well 
expended  and  will  result  in  increased  business  in  this  market  Special 
attention  is  called  to  the  report  of  the  Weighing  Committee,  submit- 
ted herewith. 

The  Traffic  Bureau  has  continued  to  look  after  the  transportation 
interests  of  the  city,  and  has  secured  many  corrections  of  rates  and  con- 
cessions, which  have  benefited  all  lines  of  business  and  which  could  not 
have  been  obtained  by  indiyidual  efEort  The  accompanying  report  of 
the  Chairman  will  be  found  of  interest 

Tour  Board  has  endeavored  to  look  after  such  matters,  outside  of 
regular  Bzchange  afEairs,  as  were  of  interest  locally  and  nationally. 
The  Bzchange  has  been  represented  by  delegates  at  the  Good  Roads 
Convention,  held  in  this  city  April  27th,  at  the  Annual  Convention  of 
the  National  Hay  Association  at  Chicago,  June  16th«  at  the  meeting 
of  the  Millers'  National  Federation  at  Detroit  June  3rd,  at  the  Upper 
Mississippi  River  Convention,  which  met  at  Davenport  October  21st, 
and  at  the  Levee  Convention  held  at  New  Orleans  October  27th.  A 
delegation  was  sent  to  JefEerson  City  in  January  to  urge  a  change  in  the 
insurance  laws. 

Tour  Board  has  taken  a  deep  interest  in  matters  pertaining  to  the 
great  World's  Fair,  to  be  held  in  this  city  this  year,  and  has  endeav- 
ored to  aid  in  securing  legislation  for  needed  facilities.  On  the  occa- 
sion of  the  dedication  services,  April  30-May  2,  the  Bzchange  adjourned 
to  enable  the  members  to  participate,  and  at  the  civic  parade.  May  2d, 
a  large  number  Joined  in  the  procession  and  aided  in  making  the  occsr 
sion  a  pronounced  success. 

Tour  Board  petitioned  the  general  government,  favoring  an  increase 
in  the  navy;  endorsed  heartily  the  report  of  the  King's  Highway  Com- 
mission in  favor  of  a  grand  boulevard  system,  and  petitioned  the  House 
of  Delegates  in  favor  of  the  Terminal  loop  ordinance,  and,  on  the 
recommendation  of  the  Grain  Committee,  advocated  the  establishment 
of  uniform  grades  of  grain  at  all  ports  of  clearance  under  the  super- 
vision of  United  States  government  inspectors. 

The  Merchants'  Bzchange  is  recognized  as  the  almoner  of  the  people 
of  St.  Louis  in  dispensing  their  benevolences  in  cases  of  public  calam- 
ity.    In  June  last  the  floods  in  the  Missouri  and  Mississippi  valleys 


THE  CITY  OF  ST.  LOUIS.  13 

caused  great  loss  of  life  and  property.  A  committee  was  appointed  to 
raise  funds  for  the  relief  of  the  people  in  the  overflowed  districts,  and 
the  response  to  the  call  was  prompt  and  generous.  The  sum  of  $32,046 
in  money,  and  supplies  to  the  value  of  $3,000  were  received  by  the  com- 
mittee, and  distributed — $1,000  to  each  of  the  cities  of  Topeka  and  Kan- 
sas City,  Kansas,  the  balance  being  apportioned  to  East  St.  Louis. 
Madison  and  Venice,  and  for  the  care  of  refugees  who,  driven  from 
their  homes,  sought  temporary  shelter  in  St.  Louis.  In  addition  to  the 
amount  received  by  the  Exchange  Committee  over  $15,000  was  sent 
direct  to  Bast  St.  Louis  by  our  citizens.  Much  distress  and  suffering 
was  alleviated  by  the  generous  contributions  of  the  good  people  of  this 
city. 

The  Exchange,  in  conjunction  with  other  commercial  organizations, 
had  the  pleasure  on  March  28rd  of  tendering  a  reception  to  Hon.  David 
R.  Francis,  President  of  the  Louisiana  Purchase  Exposition,  on  his 
return  from  a  most>suocessful  mission  to  Europe  in  behalf  of  the  World's 
Fair.  His  Honor,  Mayor  Wells,  presided,  and  suitable  resolutions  were 
adopted,  which  were  afterwards  engrossed  and  presented  to  the  Gov- 
ernor. 

On  April  28th  Lieutenant  General  Nelson  A.  Miles,  commanding  the 
United  States  Army,  was  welcomed  and  presented  to  the  members  by 
the  President 

Mrs.  Emma  Booth  Tucker,  whose  untimely  taking  away  so  soon 
after  was  deeply  lamented,  addressed  the  Exchange  on  October  19th  and 
charmed  every  one  by  her  eloquent  presentation  of  the  rescue  work  of 
the  Salvation  Army. 

On  November  5th  Senor  A.  Bermudez,  Special  Commissioner  from 
Nicaragua  to  the  World's  Fair,  addressed  the  Exchange  on  the  benefits 
of  direct  transportation  between  Nicaragua  and  St.  Louis  via  the  Missis- 
sippi River. 

On  Dec.  Slst,  at  a  called  meeting  of  the  Exchange,  a  vote  of  sym- 
pathy was  extended  to  the  City  of  Chicago  and  the  fkunilies  bereaved  by 
the  terrible  calamity  that  befell  that  city  on  the  previous  afternoon. 

The  business  transacted  on  'Change  during  the  year  compares  favor- 
ably with  former  years,  notwithstanding  the  loss  occasioned  by  the 
floods  in  June,  which  practically  suspended  receipts  of  grain  and  other 
commodities  for  a  month  or  more.  Values  have  been  maintained  and 
the  results  of  the  year  have  been  eminently  satisfactory. 

The  Exchange  is  indebted  to  and  the  Board  appreciates  the  valuable 
assistance  rendered  by  the  various  committees.  The  Board  tenders  a 
vote  of  thanks  to  all.  To  the  Secretary,  his  assistants  and  the  employes 
the  Board  expresses  its  appreciation  for  the  fcdthful  performance  of 
their  duties. 

The  Merchants'  Exchange  is  the  largest  and,  perhaps,  the  most  in- 
fluential commercial  organization  west  of  the  Mississippi  River.    With 


14  TRADS  AND  OOMMKBOK  Of 

the  proper  energy  and  loyalty  of  its  members^  it  will  Increase  in  im- 
portance and  influence.  With  the  natural  growth  of  commerce  in  the 
vast  domain  tributary  to  our  market,  a  bright  future  is  in  store  for  our 
Exchange  and  city.  The  power  and  influence  for  good,  however,  de- 
pends upon  the  same  loyalty  of  its  members  tn  the  future  it  has  had 
in  the  past 

In  conclusion,  your  Board  desires  to  thank  the  members  for  their 
support  in  all  matters  pertaining  to  the  improvement  of  Exchange  af- 
fairs, and  hopes  the  new  administration  may  merit  and  receive  the 
same  loyal  support.

DEPARTMENT  OF  WEIGHTS. 


St.  Loms,  Mo.,  December  28rd,  1908. 

To  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Merchants'  Exchaaige  of  Bt.  Louis: 

Gestismjes — ^Herewith  I  beg  to  hand  you  report  of  the  comjnittee  who 
have  had  charge  of  the  Department  of  Weights  for  the  year  1908. 

EABNINOS. 

In  explaining  the  comparatiyely  small  earnings  and  increased  ex- 
penses for  this  year,  I  beg  to  call  your  attention  to  the  special  con- 
ditions which  were  nnfavorable  for  large  earnings  for  this  department 

During  February,  March  and  April  there  was  a  blockade  in  and 
around  8t  Louis,  which  greatly  restricted  the  business  of  elevators, 
mills»  etc.  Then,  again,  in  June  and  July  came  the  great  St.  Louis 
flood,  which  decreased  greatly  the  volume  of  business  for  these  two 
months. 


The  expenses  of  this  department  were  increased,  due  mainly  to  in- 
crease in  the  equipment,  for  on  August  1st  the  committee  deemed  it 
advisable  to  place  two  deputies  in  the  largest  elevators,  and  appointed 
special  watchmen*  at  our  expense,  for  the  better  protection  of  grain 
on  team  track  while  unloading. 

At  the  present  time  the  salaries  for  the  office  help  and  deputies 
amounts  to  |2,100  monthly. 

The  increase  In  the  weighing  fees»  authorized  by  the  Board  of  Di- 
rectors on  September  22d,  took  efEect  October  1st,  and  since  these  new 
fees  have  been  enforced  the  Department  of  Weights  has  shown  a  very 
much  smaller  deficit  each  month  than  during  any  of  the  preceding 
months.  If  the  three  months  of  this  year,  beginning  with  October,  are 
to  be  used  to  base  our  estimates  for  the  next  year,  it  is  the  opinion  of 
our  committee  that  the  deficit  for  1904  will  be  considerably  smaller 
than  the  deficit  for  1908,  with  prospects  of  no  deficit  whatever. 

ELEVATOBS. 

At  the  present  time  your  Department  of  Weights  is  supervising 
the  weighing  of  grain  at  all  of  the  elevators,  mills  and  warehouses  in 
St  Louis  and  Bast  St  Louis,  with  the  exception  of  the  two  public  ele- 
vators in  Bast  St  Louis— the  "Union"  and  "Advance,"  and  the  three 


16  TRADE  AND  OOMMBROB  OF 

private  hoases  in  Bast  St.  Louis,  "Montgomery  B",  "Terminal"  and 
"Columbia",  and  the  private  house  in  St  Louis  known  as  the  "Mound 
City  Blevator". 

As  explained  to  you  before,  in  live  of  the  largest  elevators  there  are 
two  deputies  whose  duties  are  as  follows: 

One  deputy  is  placed  in  the  elevator  near  the  scales,  whose  duty  it  is 
to  supervise  the  weights  and  see  that  the  spouts,  bins,  scales,  etc^  are 
in  perfect  order.  The  duty  of  the  second  deputy  is  to  examine  care- 
fully the  condition  of  the  cars;  examine  the  seals  on  arrival  at  the 
elevator  to  see  if  whole  or  broken;  to  see  that  the  cars  are  carefully 
unloaded,  and  that  the  grain  is  swept  out  of  the  car. 

At  the  mills  and  private  elevators  whose  business  is  less,  one  dep- 
uty is  deemed  sufficient,  and  his  duties  combine  those  of  the  two  depu- 
ties in  the  large  houses.  The  reports  of  the  condition  of  cars  are  sur- 
prising, and  explains  to  our  committee  the  reasons  of  many  large  short- 
ages that  have  formerly  been  reported. 

In  connection  with  the  work  of  this  department  in  St  Louis,  Super- 
intendent Jas.  H.  Warren,  with  the  permission  of  the  Committee  on 
Weights,  has  made  special  trips  to  outside  points  to  investigate  care* 
fully  the  reasons  of  repeated  reported  shortages.  His  reports  woe 
most  gratifying,  for  in  each  instance  the  fault  was  found  at  the  other 
end,  proving  that  the  weighing  under  our  department  is  carefully  at- 
tended to  and  our  weights  correct 

HUKOIS  RAILROAD  AHD  WABEHOUSX  OOMMISBIOK. 

On  October  1st,  according  to  the  rule  passed  by  the  Board  of  Di- 
rectors of  the  Merchants'  Exchange,  deputies  were  placed  in  the  two 
public  elevators  in  Bast  St  Louis— 4;he  "Advance"  and  the  "Union". 
These  elevators,  however,  refused  to  allow  our  men  to  remain  there 
for  the  supervision  of  weights,  and  referred  us  to  letter  of  James  S. 
Neville,  Chairman  of  the  Railroad  and  Warehouse  Commission,  demand- 
ing that  they  refuse  admittance  to  their  elevators  to  our  supervisors. 

In  the  opinion  of  this  committee  the  rule  that  was  passed  by  you 
on  September  22d  cannot  consistently  be  enforced  until  such  time  as  the 
Department  of  Weights  has  supervision  in  the  above  two  public  ele- 
vators in  Bast  St  Louis.  It  is  to  be  hoped  that  in  a  very  short  time 
proper  arrangements  can  be  made. 

DBSTmATION   WBIOHTS. 

I  again  refer  you  to  the  rule  passed  by  your  body  September  22d, 
which  rule  insisted  that  all  grain  shipped  from  this  market  be  weighed 
under  the  supervision  of  the  Department  of  Weights.  This  rule  has 
not  been  lived  up  to  nor  enforced,  nor  has  this  committee  deemed  it  ad- 
visable to  ask  you  to  enforce  it,  owing  to  conditions  as  above  cited  yon 
in  reference  to  the  two  publ)p  elevators  in  East  St  Louis,  and  until  the 


THE  OITT  OF  ST.  LOUIS.  17 

Department  of  Weights  has  complete  superylsion  in  all  public  eleyators 
it  is  their  opinion  that  this  rule  be  not  strictly  enforced,  though  they 
do  urge  all  commission  men,  for  their  own  benefit,  and  the  benefit 
of  the  shippers,  to  adhere  to  this  rule,  if  possible. 

WAGON  SCALES. 

This  department  now  supervises  the  weighing  at  eleven  of  the  most 
important  wagon  scales — two  in  East  St  Louis  and  nine  in  St.  Louis. 
It  also  supervises  the  weighing  of  barley  at  the  Anheuser-Busch  Brew- 
ing Go.  and  the  Lemp  Brewing  Co.,  and  satisfactory  arrangements  will 
soon  be  made  for  the  supervising  of  the  weighing  of  the  balance  of 
the  barley  handled  in  this  market.  Our  wagon  scales  are  dose  to  the 
railroad  on  both  sides  of  the  river,  and  are  convenient  to  the  feed  deal- 
ers, so  there  should  be  no  excuse  for  not  demanding  supervision  of 
weights  under  the  Merchants'  Bzchange  Weighing  Department  in  ac- 
cordance with  the  rules  passed  by  the  Board  of  Directors. 

The  railroads  promised  the  former  committee  that  they  would  afford 
better  protection  to  grain  and  hay  on  team  track  while  being  unloaded, 
but  shortage  complaints  came  in  right  along,  and  after  careful  investi- 
gation it  was  found  that  for  the  better  protection  of  cars  on  team 
track,  special  watchmen  were  necessary.  These  watchmen  were  ap- 
pointed, and  at  the  present  time  five  of  them  have  been  granted  special 
private  watchman's  license  by  the  City  of  St  Louis. 

Since  the  establishment  of  this  supervision  very  few  shortages  haye 
been  reported.  The  conditions  that  existed  prior  to  the  establishment 
of  this  supervision  have  surprised  the  members  of  this  committee,  the 
commission  men  and  the  feed  dealers,  for  the  wastefulness  and  stealing 
of  grain  and  hay  while  on  team  track  must  have  amounted  to  thou- 
sands of  dollars  yearly. 

SACKING  GRAIN. 

During  the  three  months  of  the  present  year — ^viz.,  January,  Feb- 
ruary and  March — a  number  of  commission  merchants,  instead  of  sack* 
ing  their  grain  in  elevators,  had  it  sacked  in  various  railroad  yards. 
To  meet  their  demands  the  proper  supervision  was  supplied  them,  and 
the  amount  of  business  in  this  line  was  considerable.  This  feature  of 
the  business,  however,  has  been  abandoned,  as  the  railroad  companies 
refused  to  allow  the  sacking  of  grain  in  their  yards,  and  it  is  now 
handled  as  formerly,  either  in  warehouses  or  in  elevators. 

TABS. 

At  the  present  time  the  Illinois  State  Warehouse  Commission  per- 
mits the  dockage  of  3  pounds  per  1,000  to  cover  the  loss  for  dirt,  etc., 
on  grain  unloaded  at  public  elevators.  The  private  elevators,  mills, 
etc.,  also  avail  themselves  of  this  dockage.  In  Missouri  this  same  rule 
has  been  in  efEect,  but  recently  the  Missouri  Warehouse  Commission 


18  TRADE  AKD  OOMMJfiBOB  OF 

has  rescinded  Mme,  but  informa  us  that  this  applied  only  to  the  pablie 
eleyators,  for  they  haye  no  Jurisdiction  whatever  over  the  priyate  ele- 
yatora,  mills,  etc.  Our  committee  has  been  presented  with  a  request 
from  shippers  that  inasmuch  as  the  public  eleyators  in  Missouri  are  not 
permitted,  according  to  Missouri  Warehouse  rules,  to  avail  themselyea 
of  this  dockage,  that  we  ask  the  Board  of  Directors  to  have  the  private 
elevators,  mills,  etc,  conform  with  the  Missouri  W.  H.  C.  rulea  Our 
committee  learns  that  the  Illinois  W.  H.  C.  also  expect  at  an  early  datef 
to  abolish  this  custom  of  tare.  Therefore  our  committee  in  passing 
upon  the  complaint,  has  decided  that  inasmuch  as  this  three  pounds 
per  1,000  dockage  is  a  custom  of  long  standing,  and  the  abolishing  of 
the  tare  in  Missouri  would  discriminate  against  the  private  elevators 
and  mills  in  St  Louis  proper,  no  request  be  made  to  the  Board  of  Di- 
rectors for  their  ruling  on  this  question  until  such  time  as  the  rules 
and  laws  of  both  the  Missouri  W.  H.  C.  and  the  Illinois  W.  H.  C. 

coincide. 

ooNDmoir  oT  gabs. 

This  department  keeps  a  very  careful  report  of  the  condition  of  all 
cars  arriving  in  this  market,  and  you  will  see  by  the  report  made  the 
large  number  of  cars  that  arrive  either  out  of  condition  or  with  the 
seals  broken,  and  it  is  the  wish  of  this  committee  that  I  call  upon  the 
Board  of  Directors  to  take  such  steps  as  they  deem  proper  to  prevail 
upon  the  railroad  companies  to  furnish  better  equipment  for  carrying 
grain  to  this  market 

RBPORT  FROM  JANUARY  1ST  TO  DBCBMBER  1ST,  190S.

THE  OITY  OF  ST.  LOUIS.  19 


TRAFFIC  BUREAU. 


St.  Louis,  Mo.,  December  19th,  1908. 
To  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Merchants*  Exchange: 

Gbntlbmsh — ^The  work  of  the  bureau  In  the  year  Just  passed  has  re- 
sulted in  many  favorable  adjustments  of  rates  for  this  maArket,  which 
have  been  outlined  in  circulars  mailed  to  our  members. 

The  nature  of  the  work  is  such  as  we  secured  in  the  publication  of 
through  rates  on  grain,  from  points  on  the  C,  R.  I.  ft  P.  Ry.  in  Okla- 
homa and  Indian  Territory  to  St  Louis,  where  rates  were  formerly 
the  combination  of  the  locals  on  Kansas  City. 

Arranging  with  the  Southeastern,  lines  for  the  acceptance  of  any 
billing,  in  reconsignment  of  grain  to  the  Southeast,  where  Missouri 
RiTer  billing  had  formerly  been  accepted. 

The  filing  of  a  complaint  with  the  Illinois  Railroad  and  Warehouse 
Commission  against  the  reconsigning  charge  at  Bast  St  Louis,  the 
hearing  resulted  in  a  favorable  decision,  secured  early  in  January, 
which  has  saved  the  trade  thousands  of  dollars  this  year;  on  one  line  it 
being  estimated  at  over  $16,000. 

There  were  fourteen  grain  circulars  sent  to  members,  showing 
changes,  comparative  rates  and  other  useful  information. 

The  bureau  keeps  up  one  of  the  most  complete  tariff  files  in  this 
country  for  the  Information  of  members,  and  has  had  more  requests 
for  rates  this  year  than  any  year  since  the*  office  was  opened.  Many 
members  who  do  not  seem  to  know  of  this  part  of  our  work  we  feel 
could  make  use  of  this  feature  of  the  bureau  to  their  advantage. 

Much  other  work  of  a  routine  nature,  with  which  yen  are  familiar, 
has  been  carried  on,  and  which  has  proven  profitable  and  beneficial  to 
our  members.

INCBEASS  IN  THE  NAYT. 

Febbuabt  10th:  The  President  and  Board  of  Directors  of  the 
Merchants'  Exchange  of  St  Louis  would  respectfully  represent  that 
the  commanding  position  which  the  United  States  now  holds  among 
the  nations  of  the  world  requires  that  Congress  and  the  President  be 
enabled  at  all  times  to  command  due  regard  to  the  wishes  and  policies 
of  the  goyernment  by  other  nations,  and  to  protect  the  maritime  com- 
merce of  the  country,  and  to  this  end  that  the  nayy  should  be  so  In- 
creased as  to  be  in  a  position  to  enforce  if  necessary  the  just  demands 
of  the  Government 

EXCUBSION  rates  TO  THE  WORLD'S  FAIR. 

February  28th:  Whereas,  It  is  of  vital  importance,  in  order  to 
secure  a  large  attendance  at  the  World's  Fair,  that  railroad  companies 
terminating  in  St.  Louis  should  make  reduced  rate  excursion  tickets 
from  all  points  on  their  roads,  both  during  the  Pre-Exposltlon  and  Ex- 
position periods,  and. 

Whereas,  The  Louisiana  Purchase  Exposition  Company  has  made 
application  to  said  railroad  companies  to  establish  such  rates,  but  the 
said  companies  have  declined  to  do  so  on  the  ground  that  such  tickets 
can  only  be  Issued  as  personal  contract  between  the  original  purchaser 
and  the  company,  and  non-transferrable,  in  order  to  be  sold  at  a  re-

duced  rate,  and  that  there  being  no  law  in  the  State  of  Missouri  pun- 
ishing the  fraudulent  alteration  or  the  assignment  of  such  non-trans- 
ferrable  tickets,  they  cannot  issue  the  same  without  great  loss,  and. 

Whereas,  In  order  to  induce  such  railroad  companies  to  issue  such 
tickets  and  to  ofEer  to  the  traveling  public  proper  protection  against 
the  fraudulent  practices  concerning  the  alteration  of  tickets  and  the 
sale  of  non-assignable  tickets,  said  Louisiana  Purchase  Exposition  Co. 
has  had  prepared  and  introduced  into  the  House  of  Representatives  of 
the  Forty-Second  Qeneral  Assembly  two  bills,  to-wit:  House  Bills  Nos. 
473-474,  the  former  making  the  alteration  of  any  railroad  ticket  a  for- 
gery and  the  latter  prohibiting  the  sale  of  non-assignable  tickets,  and 
requiring  the  railroad  companies  to  redeem  all  unused  portions  thereof, 
and. 

Whereas,  In  the  opinion  of  this  body  it  is  of  the  utmost  importance 
that  said  bills  be  enacted  into  law; 

Now,  Therefore,  Be  It  Resolved,  That  the  General  Assembly  of  the 
State  of  Missouri  be,  and  it  is  hereby  requested,  to  give  due  considera- 
tion to  said  bills,  and  to  give  them  the  sanction  of  Legislative  approval 
at  the  earliest  possible  date.

HABBOB  OF  ST.   LOUIS. 

NoysMBKB  10th.    The  Board  adopted  the  following  resolutions : 

Whereas,  The  excessiye  width  of  the  Mississippi  Riyer,  north  of  the 
Merchants'  Bridge  and  south  of  the  Bads  Bridge,  and  the  contraction 
of  the  riyer  between  the  two  bridges,  is  supposed  to  haye  been  the  cause 
of  the  great  damage  done  St  Louis  and  Bast  St  Louis  by  the  floods  in 
June,  1903;    and 

Whereas,  The  damage  done  to  the  railroad  embankments  in  the 
American  bottom,  opposite  St.  Louis,  and  caused  by  this  year's  flood, 
depriyed  St  Louis  for  nearly  a  month  of  its  railroad  facilities;  and 

Whereas,  The  condition  of  the  riyer  bed  is  such  that  repetitions 
of  such  disasters  may  be  expected. 

Now,  Therefore,  Resolved,  That  the  members  of  Congress  and  the 
Senators  from  Missouri  are  hereby  requested  to  urge  the  Secretary  of 
War  to  cause  plans  and  estimates  to  be  made  for  the  improyement  ot 
the  Mississippi  Riyer,  extending  from  the  Missouri  Riyer  southwardly 
to  a  line  about  two  miles  south  of  the  southern  limits  of  the  City  ot 
St  Louis,  and,  if  conyenient,  to  haye  the  report  and  estimate  filed 
with  the  Committee  on  Riyers  and  Harbors  in  time  for  the  approaching 
session  of  Congress. 

LETTEB  TO  HON.  T.  E.  BUBTON,  OHAIBMAN  OOMMrFTEB  ON  BIVEBS  AND  HABB0B8 

DBCBMBEB  8tH. 

The  suggestion  that  our  Board  wish  to  make  in  reference  to  the 
Mississippi  Riyer  aboye  and  below  St.  Louis,  and  opposite  the  city,  is 


26  TRADE  AND  OOKMKROE  OF 

this:  That  the  Qoyemment  in  granting  the  charters  for  the  two  bridges 
at  St  Louis  and  the  establishment  of  the  harbor  line  has  contracted 
the  riyer  opposite  the  central  portion  of  the  city  to  such  an  extent  as  to 
prevent  the  discharge  of  the  water  as  fast  as  it  comes  from  the  Mis- 
souri and  Upper  Mississippi  Rivers. 

In  consequence  of  these  conditions  the  velocity  of  the  water  is 
checked  above  the  bridges  and  the  silt  carried  in  suspension  drops,  and 
the  flood  lines  are  raised  and  endangers  all  industries  in  the  bottom 
lands  on  both  sides  of  the  river  and  nearly  all  railroad  terminals. 

To  prevent  this  damage  it  is  necessary,  in  our  opinion,  to  contract 
the  river  up  to  the  mouth  of  the  Missouri,  so  as  to  increase  the  velocity 
of  the  current  and  thus  improve  navigation,  and,  incident  thereto,  it 
will  tend  to  protect  the  lowlands,  but  not  as  much  as  the  construction 
of  levees  below  Cairo. 

We  wish  to  call  your  attention  especially  to  the  fact  that  in  the 
great  commercial  centers  the  transportation  across  rivers  is,  at  least, 
of  paramount  importance  to  navigation  along  the  river,  and  we  there- 
fore request  the  government  to  consider  the  matter  and  to  take  steps 
to  improve  the  harbor  of  St  Louis,  so  that  transfer  boats  can  remain 
in  operation  at  all  points  during  the  low  stages  of  the  river. 

The  leading  business  men  and  managers  of  railroads  in  the  Great 
American  bottom,  opposite  St  Louis,  containing  over  100,000  acres  of 
land,  are  now  organizing  to  develop  a  plan  for  drainage  and  protec- 
tion from  overflow,  and  we  think  when  fully  organized  that  they  will 
co-operate  with  the  Government  and  build  the  levees  for  their  own 

protection. 

nrncBSTATE  oommeboe  law. 

December  8th:  Resolved,  That  to  make  the  Act  to  Regulate  Com- 
merce effective,  greater  power  and  control  should  be  given  to  the  Com- 
mission, and  Congress  should  be  urged  to  pass  such  laws  as  will  fully 
safeguard  and  promote  both  the  public  and  transportation  interests 
and  give  force  and  effect  to  the  findings  and  rulings  of  the  Commission.

Whereas,  A  great  calamity  has  occurred  in  our  sister  city  of  Chi- 
cago in  the  Iroquois  Theater,  where  several  hundred  lives  were  lost, 
we  extend  our  hearty  sympathy  to  the  City  of  Chicago,  as  well  as  to 
the  bereaved  families  of  those  whose  lives  were  lost  in  this  terrible 
calamity.

28  TBADS  AND  OOXMBBOS  OF 


EVOLUTION  OF  THE  WORLD'S  FAIR, 


HOW  THB  UNIVERSAL  EXPOSITION  OP  1964  HAS  GROWN  TO 

UNPORSEEN  MAGNITUDE. 


By  Waiabb  B.  Stbybkb,  Secretary  Loaisiana  Purchase  Exposition. 


The  principal  exhibit  palaces  of  the  Universal  Exposition  of  1904 
cover  128  acres.  Large  as  they  are,  the  space  under  roof  was  over  ap- 
plied for  long  before  entries  of  applications  closed.  The  result  is  an 
Bxpositlon  by  selection.  The  management  has  been  able  to  insist  upon 
the  rule  of  movement  and  processes  taking  the  place  of  the  usual  Inani- 
mate exhibits. 

By  way  of  single  illustration,  the  Mines  and  Metallurgy  Depart- 
ment at  Chicago  was  contained  in  a  building  360x700  feet,  the  area 
being  about  5H  acres.  The  Mines  and  Metallurgy  Palace  at  St  Louis 
provides  more  space  for  mining  industries  and  exhibits  than  was 
offered  by  the  three  expositions  at  Chicago,  Buffalo  and  Omaha.  Large 
as  the  Palace  of  Mines  and  Metallurgy  is,  it  by  no  means  comprises 
all  there  is  of  mines  and  metallurgy  at  the  Exposition.  Adjacent  to 
the  Palace  is  a  ravine  known  as  "The  Gulch,"  extending  southward  into 
forest,  utilized  for  most  interesting  outdoor  exhibits. 

In  the  hill  which  constitutes  a  portion  of  tliis  space  tunnels  and 
drifts  will  be  driven,  and  in  these  will  be  shown  the  methods  of  drilling, 
timbering,  and  ventilating  mines,  and  the  underground  transportation 
and  handling  of  ores. 

A  coal  mine  on  a  two-foot  seam  of  coal  discovered  within  the  Ex- 
position grounds,  a  lead  and  zinc  mine,  and  a  copper  mine,  each  sep- 
arated from  the  other,  will  be  opened  within  the  outdoor  space 
described  above.  These  will  be  supplied  with  a  full  equipment  for  the 
handling  and  transportation  of  ores,  and  with  pumps  for  drainage, 
and  in  them  will  be  shown  the  different  systems  of  draining,  illuminat- 
ing, and  ventilating  mines.  These  three  separate  mines  will  be  oon- 
nected,  by  an  electric  mine  railway,  which  will  have  a  total  length  of 
more  than  2,000  feet 

Notwithstanding  additions  to  the  number  of  exhibit  palaces  until 
the  acreage  under  roof  exceeds  that  of  Chicago,  fifty  per  cent,  the 
pressure  for  space  has  been  far  in  excess  of  the  provisions.    Several 


THB  CITY  OF  ST.  LOUIS.  29 

departments  could  have  utilized  three  times  the  floor  space  of  their 
buildings.  There  is  no  department  that  has  not  had  more  applications 
than  could  be  accommodated.  Especially  noticeable  is  the  pressure  on 
the  part  of  foreign  countries,  nearly  all  of  -which  increased  their  re- 
quests from  first  estimates. 

Perhaps  in  no  direction  has  been  the  growth  of  the  Exposition,  be- 
yond original  plans,  more  impressive  than  in  the  provision  for  power. 
At  Chicago  the  power  plant  had  a  capacity  of  12,000  H.  P.  At  Paris 
there  was  provided  20,000  H.  P.  The  capacity  already  provided  at  St 
Louis,  with  a  possibility  of  increase,  is  40,000  H.  P.  The  plan  and  scope 
of  this  Universal  Exposition  in  the  beginning  announced  that  live  ex- 
hibits, processes  rather  than  products,  would  be  insisted  upon  so  far 
as  practicable.  Exhibitors  have  met  the  rule  of  the  Exposition  manage- 
ment in  this  respect.  They  have  asked  space  for  so  many  forms  of 
mechanism  that  it  is  necessary  to  have  a  power  plant  with  twice  the 
capacity  of  that  at  Paris  and  more  than  three  times  the  capacity  of  that 
at  Chicago. 

Extraordinary  as  the  area  of  the  Universal  Exposition  is,  it  has  not 
proven  to  be  excessive.  When  the  eodiibits  palaces  were  found  to  be 
insufficient  to  accommodate  the  pressure,  resource  was  had  to  out- 
door exhibits.  There  are  over  two  hundred  acres  devoted  to  these 
classes  of  exhibits. 

The  World's  Fair  of  1904  will  abount  in  features  which  will  leave 
upon  visitors  indelible  impressions.  The  first  glimpse  is  of  countless 
towers,  domes  and  steeples  among  the  tree  tops.  The  great  centxal 
scene  is  around  a  Grand  Basin  and  Plaza,  with  walls  on  either  side  fur- 
nished by  the  majestic  facades  of  exhibit  palaces,  the  farther  end  filled 
in  by  terraces,  cascades,  colonnade.  Festival  Hall  and  the  pavilions 
rising  hundreds  of  feet  from  the  water,  and  everywhere,  for  foreground, 
background  and  border,  the  forest 

There  is  no  sameness;  no  monotony  in  the  physical  features..  Every 
view,  every  different  part  of  the  grounds  has  its  distinctive  character. 
Here  is  a  sunken  garden,  long,  narrow,  a  ribbon  of  variegated  color 
with  the  quaint  front  and  overhanging  roof  and  obelisks  of  the  Palace 
of  Mines  on  one  side;  on  the  other  the  immense  arches  and  columns 
of  the  Palace  of  Liberal  Arts.  Turn  about  and  you  face  something 
entirely  different — a  lagoon  of  crystal  water,  its  angled  course  under 
quaint  arched  bridges  with  green  terraces  rising  on  either  side  and 
the  shadows  of  overhanging  maples  frequent  Next  you  come  to  an 
avenue  winding  upward  through  the  forest,  leading  apparently  away 
from  the  scenes  of  activity,  and  yet,  but  a  few  steps,  you  find  yourself 
in  the  midst  of  the  mansions  of  many  States,  scattered  about  upon 
wooded  knolls  and  slopes.  Hospitality  is  to  be  one  of  the  great  feat- 
ures of  this  Exposition.    The  social  side  of  American  olficial  life  will 


30  TRADE  AND  COMMERCE  OF 

find  its  most  perfect  expreflBlon  in  half  a  hundred  great  reeepti<ni  rooms 
along  Commonwealth  Avenue,  Colonial  Avenue  and  the  waja  leading 
therefrom. 

There  is  another  striking  contrast  when  the  visitcv  leaves  the 
Plateau  of  States  and  descends  izrto  the  Place  of  All  Nations.  Townhalls 
and  villas  and  reproductions  of  famous  structures  in  many  lands  are 
surrounded  with  large  gardens  closely  typical  at  the  various  countries 
represented. 

In  May,  1901,  the  Louisiana  Purchase  Exposition  Company  entered 
upon  the  period  of  physical  preparation.  The  only  experience  to  guide 
was  that  learned  from  the  World's  Columbian  Exposition  of  1893.  The 
company  was  granted  by  the  City  of  St  Louis  the  western  half  of  Forest 
Park.  This  gave  ground  of  practically  the  same  acreage  as  the  site 
occupied  at  Chicago,  about  660  acres.  Upon  the  tract  the  commission 
of  architects  representing  the  whole  country  laid  out  nine  exhibit  pal- 
aces, affording  somewhat  more  space  under  roof  than  Chicago  had.  The 
sum  of  $5,000,000  was  appropriated  from  actual  cash  in  hand  and  work 
began.  If  the  original  plans  could  have  been  adhered  to  the  Louisiana 
Purchase  Exposition  Company,  .greater  even  than  the  World's  Colum- 
bian, would  have  opened  with  an  expenditure  of  about  115,000,000,  but 
the  management  was  forced  speedily  to  take  into  account  two  new 
conditions.  One  of  these  conditions  was  the  great  progress  made  by 
the  United  States  in  the  decade  since  1893.  The  other  was  the  increased 
interest  and  respect  felt  by  the  rest  of  the  world  in  this  nation.  Within 
three  months  after  the  President  of  the  United  States  issued  his  invi- 
tation to  the  nations  to  participate  in  this  world's  fair  it  was  apparent 
that  provisions  far  beyond  those  made  at  Chicago  were  absolutely 
essential. 

Fifty-three  foreign  governments  have  provided  in  actual  appropria- 
tions and  estimates  for  expenditures  of  17,017,250  at  this  exposition. 
Such  is  the  situation  five  months  before  the  exposition  opens.  Every 
week  brings  additional  acceptances  and  new  information  of  foreign  ap- 
propriations. The  participation  will  be  practically  universal  and  the 
amount  of  expenditures  by  other  countries  will  exceed  |8,000,000.  For 
the  exposition  at  Chicago  the  total  expenditures  were  |5,769,098.  The 
countries  and  colonies  participating  at  Chicago  were  48. 

The  states,  territories  and  islands  of  the  United  States  five  months 
before  the  opening  have  provided  for  expenditures  amounting  to 
16,749,986.  Twelve  legislatures  will  meet  this  winter  and  in  several 
instances  appropriations  will  be  increased.  At  Chicago  the  states  and 
territories  expended  altogether  15,414,031.  At  St  Louis  the  expenditures 
of  the  sub-divisions  of  the  United  States  will  be  more  than  50  per  cent 
greater. 

Provisions  for  the  greater  expenditure  by  other  nations  and  by 
states  and  territories  have  entailed  unlocked  for  expenditures  by  the 
exposition  company.  At  St  Louis  there  was  the  advantage  of  a  site 


THE  OITT  07  ST.  LOUIS.  31 

Of  great  natural  beauty  and  adaptabilltj,  but  tbe  space  which  had  to  be 
prepared  for  mansions  of  42  states  and  territories  and  for  other  build- 
ings of  organizations  was  three  times  as  large  as  that  occupied  for  like 
purposes  at  Chicago,  where  scarcely  80  structures,  most  of  them 
smaller,  were  erected. 

The  foreign  buildings  and  their  gardens  at  St  Louis  occupy  three 
times  the  ground  devoted  to  like  construction  at  Chicago.  The  mileage 
of  walks  and  roadways  and  of  electric  conduits  and  water-pipes  and 
sewerage  nearly  quadruples  that  of  Chicago. 

Over  300  acres  of  space  will  be  occupied  with  outdoor  exhibits, 
making  altogether  nearly  850  acres  of  exhibits. 

This  does  not  take  into  account  the  thirty-flye  acres  which  will 
be  wholly  occupied  by  the  exhibits  from  the  Philippines.  Two  years 
ago  Governor  Taft  of  the  Philippines  laid  before  the  Exposition  Com- 
pany his  plans  for  adequate  representation  of  the  Archipelago's  re- 
sources and  peoiHes.  He  asked  co-operation.  The  SSxposUion  Com- 
pany appropriated  |100,000  to  aid  in  the  Philippine  Exhibit,  believing 
that  the  interest  of  prospective  visitors  of  the  Exposition  Justified  such 
an  unusual  expenditure  of  the  corporation's  funds.  About  a  year  ago 
the  plans  of  the  Philippine  Exhibit  Board  had  been  so  enlarged  that 
the  need  of  greater  expenditure  was  felt  The  Exposition  Company 
advanced  $100,000  additional  to  assist  in  making  the  Philippines  ex- 
hibit entirely  worthy  of  the  Archipelago.  These  expenditures  were, 
of  course,  unforeseen  in  the  beginning. 

Prompted  by  the  feeling  that  the  live  stock  interests  of  this  coun- 
try have  not  heretofore  received  the  recognition  due  them  at  ESxposi- 
tions,  the  Company  has  set  apart  sixty  acres  for  the  live  stock  depart- 
ment and  has  appropriated  1350,000  for  it  The  sum  is  more  than 
twice  what  was  devoted  to  this  department  at  Chicago. 

Finding  in  the  settlement  and  development  of  the  Mississippi  Val- 
ley a  wealth  of  material  heretofore  neglected,  the  Exposition  manage- 
ment has  expended  among  the  sculptors  of  the  United  States  $500,000 
for  statuary,  historical  and  idealistic,  well  calculated  to  stimulate  not 
only  pride  but  higher  inspirations  in  the  minds  of  the  American  peo- 
ple. 

On  the  first  day  of  January,  1904,  twelve  of  the  sixteen  exhibit 
palaces  provided  for  the  Universal  Exposition  of  1904  were  complete. 
The  remaining  exhibit  buildings  were  over  eighty-five  per  cent  com- 
plete. There  never  before  was  an  exposition  in  a  state  of  forwardness 
equal  to  that  On  the  date  mentioned  there  had  been  received  80,000 
packages  of  exhibits.  There  were  on  the  water  and  on  cars  thousands 
of  tons  en  route.  Thirty  state  buildings  were  either  entirely  com- 
plete or  more  than  half  done. 

Twenty-five  concessions  were  well  advanced  in  construction. 
Twelve  foreign  buildings  were  approaching  completion.    In  all  phys- 


32  TRADS  AND  COMMSBOK  OF 

ical  features  and  in  all  exhibit  features  the  Bzposltion  had  reached 
a  stage  of  progress  which  Insured  entire  completion  before  the  opeur 
ing  day,  April  80,  1904. 

A  school  of  unfortunate  children,  born  without  the  usual  facul- 
ties, undergoing  the  peculiar  training  which  has  been  deylsed  for 
defectiyes,  Illustrates  the  twentieth  century  development  of  educar 
tion.  It  will  be  an  attractive  feature  of  the  Department  of  Education. 
Art  at  this  World's  Fair  is  not  synonymous  with  antiquity  or  confined 
to  Old  Masters.  A  contemporaneous  dlyision  to  include  works  pro- 
duced since  the  Columbian  Bxposition  of  1893  shows  the  world  Is  not 
at  a  standstUl  in  art  expression.  The  alchemist's  laboratory  in  operar 
tion  illustrates  In  Liberal  Arts  the  progress  of  chemistry.  In  the  art 
presenratlTe  the  most  advanced  mechanisms  for  printing  are  opera- 
tive exhibits.  The  two  great  palaces  devoted  to  Manufactures  and 
Varied  Industries  are  the  battle  field  of  competition  among  the  nations 
for  there  "foreign  Industrial  exhibits  are  in  rivalry  of  skill  and  elabor- 
ateness. Prime  movers  from  8,000  horse-power,  from  fiywheels  twen- 
ty-eight feet  in  diameter,  from  engines  as  large  as  three^tory  houses 
down  to  the  electrical  motors  infinitesimal  by  comparison,  are  mar- 
shaled in  the  Palace  of  Machinery.  "The  industrial  life  blood  of  the 
new  time,"  as  electricity  has  been  called,  courses  in  generators,  dyna- 
mos and  transformers,  showing  in  endless  variety  the  uses  of  the  mys- 
terious current  through  the  realms  of  chemistry,  telegraphy,  light  and 
heat 

Aerial  navigation  is  recognized  as  a  possibility  and  has  its  course 
through  the  air  prescribed  for  tests  of  speed  and  control  as  well  as  Its 
group  of  airship  stables.  Agriculture  masses  in  turn  the  wonderful 
developments  in  the  staples,  corn,  cotton,  tobacco,  wheat  and  the  ex- 
hibits range  through  all  the  ramifications  of  meat  and  drink  to  the 
latest  breakfast  food  of  queer  title.  The  center  of  Horticulture  in  a 
space  with  unobstructed  view  as  large  as  a  city  block  is  the  array  of 
table  fruits.  In  every  department  is  an  Impressive  central  feature 
around  which  the  countless  exhibits  appear  by  classes  and  groups. 

Those  who  have  been  familiar  with  art  exhibits  at  expositions  af- 
firm without  Qualiflcation  that  this  department  of  the  Universal  S2x- 
posltlon  of  1904  will  surpass  in  comprehensiveness  and  in  high  char- 
acter any  art  exhibit  ever  made  even  in  the  distinctive  home  of  art, 
Paris.  Almost  every  country  in  the  civHized  world  entered  an  appli- 
cation for  space  in  the  Art  Palace.  These  applications  in  the  aggre- 
gate far  exceed  the  capacity.  After  the  permanent  Art  Palace  and 
two  very  large  annexes  had  been  provided,  it  was  found  neces- 
sary to  erect  a  pavilion  especially  for  the  exhibition  of  statuary  in 
order  to  give  more  space  for  paintings  In  the  main  buildings.  A  fea- 
ture which  will  characterize  this  World's  Fair  In  respect  to  the  art 
display  in  the  sculpture  garden.     In  the  Immediate  vicinity  of  the 


THB  CITY  OF  ST.  LOUIS.  33 

Palace  of  Art  will  be  laid  out  grounds  haying  walks  and  flower  beds 
and  shrubbery  and  the  grand  forest  trees.  Scattered  through  this  gar- 
den will  be  sculpture  exhibits  of  the  class  known  as  outdoor  sculpture. 
They  will  be  shown  where  they  belong  and  amid  the  surroundings 
which  will  present  the  works  of  the  sculptors  in  the  best  possible  con- 
ditions. 

Very  interesting  and  notable  in  the  Art  Palace  will  be  a  contempo- 
raneous division  devoted  to  works  produced  since  the  World's  Colum- 
bian Exposition  in  1893.  This  will  enable  visitors  to  Judge  of  the 
progress  of  art,  especially  in  the  United  States  during  the  past  de- 
cade. These  more  recent  works  of  art  will  be  passed  upon  by  an  in- 
ternational Jury  and  awards  will  be  made. 

There  is  also  what  is  known  as  the  retrospective  division  which 
includes  works  of  art  produced  between  1803,  the  date  of  the  treaty 
of  Purchase  of  Louisiana,  and  1893,  the  date  at  which  the  contempo- 
raneous division  begins. 

There  will  be  loan  collections  presenting  the  masterpieces  ol  Amer- 
ican private  galleries. 

Liiberal  Arts  as  a  department  follows  Art  in  the  classification  of 
the  Bxposition.  In  the  Palace  of  Liberal  Arts  will  be  shown,  in  the 
midst  of  exhibits  relating  to  astronomy  and  engineering,  an  equatorial 
telescope  weighing  40,000  pounds. 

There  will  be  a  hospital  fully  equipped  with  all  of  the  new  appli- 
ances used  in  surgery  and  hospital  work.  The  great  advance  of  recent 
years  in  medical  science  will  be  demonstrated  by  this  exhibit. 

Musical  instruments  of  endless  variety  constitute  one  of  the  great 
groups  of  Liberal  Arts.  But  the  chief  exhibit  in  this  group  will  be  the 
largest  organ  ever  built,  having  140  stops  and  occupying  the  place  of 
honor  in  Festival  Hall. 

China  will  have  over  2,000  tons  of  exhibits  at  this  the  first  exposi- 
tion in  which  that  ancient  Empire  has  officially  participated.  China 
will  be  especially  strong  in  Liberal  Arts,  showing  ancient  books  made 
in  that  country  thousands  of  years  before  Guttenberg  was  bom.  A 
printing  office  from  China,  making  plain  the  methods  pursued  In  that 

early  period  will  be  set  up.  There  will  be  exhibits  in  wood  and  Jet 
carving  of  the  period  when  tools  for  that  industry  were  of  the  crudest 

character. 

Two  great  buildings  accommodate  the  Department  of  Manufac- 
tures with  over  twenty-eight  acres  of  floor  space.  It  has  been  more 
difficult  to  meet  demands  for  room  in  this  department  than  in  almost 
any  other.  In  manufactures  foreign  nations  are  competing  with  much 
rivalry  in  exhibits  illustrative  of  their  leading  industries.  Their  needs 
for  space  have  been  pressed  with  much  vigor. 

In  Jewelry  the  allotments  of  space  already  made  assure  a  collec- 
tion of  the  ornamental  which  will  be  the  most  extensive  ever  made. 


34  TRADE  AND  COMHSRCS  OF 

The  itrray  of  gems  will  be  the  most  valuable  ever  assembled.  It  will 
include  one  of  the  largest,  as  well  as  one  of  the  rarest  diamonds  tn  ex- 
istence. Workshops  of  the  gold  and  silversmith  will  produce  flnJahed 
specimens  of  the  jeweler's  art  in  the  presence  of  visitors. 

In  textiles  there  will  be  such  an  array  of  silks  from  all  parts  of 
the  world  as  has  never  been  seen  at  any  previous  exposition. 

Down  the  long  vista  of  the  Palace  of  Machinery  are  three  colonms 
of  prime  movers,  engines,  condensers,  generators,  pumps,  the  moving 
machinery  going  to  make  up  the  power  plant  occupying  an  area  oi 
over  200,000  square  feet    The  power  will,  for  ordinary  uses,  reacdi 
40,000  horsepower,  with  the  possibility  of  an  emergency  addition  ol 
10,000  horsepower.    A  single  steam  engine  with  its  elastic  generator 
has  a  weight  of  600  tons  and  a  valuation  of  |150,000.    There  will  be  in 
close  association  a  gas  engine  from  Tegel,  near 'Berlin,  Germany;  a 
high-speed  steam  engine  from  Harrisburg,  Pennsylvania;  a  medium- 
speed  steam  engine  from  Cincinnati,  Ohio;  a  low-speed  steam  engine 
from  Burlington,  Iowa;  a  turbine  water  wheel  from  San  Francisco* 
operated  by  water  forced  through  a  steam  pump,  from  Jeansvllle, 
Pennsylvania;  a  3,000  horsepower  gas  engine  from  Seraing,  Belgium; 
an  8,000-horsepower  steam  turbine  from  New  York;   another  steam 
turbine  from  Pittsburg  and  four  reciprocating  steam  engines  from 
other  localities.    These  prime  movers  arranged  in  columns  of  power- 
makers  will  present  a  scene  such  as  has  never  been  witnessed  before. 
There  will  be  three  of  these  columns  of  power-producers,  the  units  in 
which  will  be  drawn  from  Great  Britain,  France,  Sweden,  Belgium  and 
every  part  of  the  United  States. 

A  gas  engine  of  600-horsepower  at  the  Paris  Exposition  four  years 
ago  was  the  great  item  of  attraction  in  machinery.  At  St  Louis  there 
will  be  a  gas-engine  of  3,000-horsepower,  having  a  flywheel  weighing 
thirty-four  tons.  In  the  Steam,  Gas  and  Fuel  building,  adjoining  the 
Palace  of  Machinery,  will  be  boilers  which  will  require  a  supply  of  40O 
tons  of  coal  every  twenty-four  hours. 

Exhibits  in  electricity  have  been  offered  until  the  Palace  set  apart 
for  that  department  has  proven  utterly  inadequate  to  accommodate 
them.  The  scepticism  that  prevailed  at  one  time  about  sufficient  de- 
mand for  space  to  occupy  the  entire  structure  has  been  dissipated. 
The  intending  exhibitors  of  electrical  appliances  became  so  insistent 
as  to  raise  the  question  whether  it  would  not  be  necessary  to  roof  a 
large  court  in  order  to  furnish  additional  accommodations.  In  the 
Palace  of  Electricity  will  be  shown  a  bewildering  collection  of  mar 
chines  for  the  generation  and  utilization  of  electrical  energy.  There 
will  be  electric  motors  for  railways,  for  elevators,  for  cranes,  for 
printing  presses  and  for  the  operation  of  every  kind  of  machinery. 

In  electro  chemistry  there  will  be  working  exhibits  showing  the 
reduction  of  ores  by  electrolytic  process.    Nitric  acid  will  be  mann- 


THS  OITT  07  ST.  LOTJIS.  35 

factured  from  the  air.    The  purification  of  water  for  drinking  pur- 
poses by  electricity  will  be  shown  on  a  large  scale. 

In  the  production  of  light  from  electricity  there  have  been  notable 

developments  scarcely  a  year  old.    The  world  now  has  nemst,  osmium 
and  mercury  vapor  lamps,  and  they  will  be  in  operation  at  the  World's 

Fair. 

Wireless  telegraphy  will  have  its  place  among  electrical  exhibits 
and  the  largest  wireless  telegraph  station  in  the  world  will  tower  above 
all  structures  on  the  Exposition  grounds.  From  this  station  commer- 
cial messages  will  be  sent  to  other  Western  cities.  There  will  be 
shown  the  progress  inventors  have  made  in  the  direction  of  wireless 
telephony. 

The  Palace  of  Transportation  has  a  centerpiece  which  will  im- 
press one  of  the  memories  that  all  visitors  will  carry  away  from  the 
'^Vorld*s  Fair.  In  the  center  of  the  immense  structure  upon  an  ele- 
vated steel  turntable  will  be  carried  a  locomotive  weighing  over  200,- 
000  pounds.  The  wheels  of  the  locomotive  will  revolve  at  a  speed  of 
sixty  miles  an  hour  while  the  turntable  slowly  carries  the  great  engine 
around  and  around  by  electric  power.  Headlights  of  piercing  bril- 
liancy from  dynamos  on  the  locomotive  and  tender  will  throw  search- 
light rays  to  every  part  of  the  building.  There  are  sixty-four  doors 
in  the  Palace  of  Transportation  from  each  one  of  which  this  great 
central  piece  bearing  the  legend,  "The  Spirit  of  the  Twentieth  Cen- 
tury/' will  be  visible  as  visitors  enter. 

In  pursuance  of  the  announced  intention  to  encourage  competition 
in  aerostatics  there  has  been  set  apart  the  Aeronautic  Concourse  of 
1904  on  a  part  of  the  Washington  University  tract.  There  have  been 
erected  airship  stables.  There  has  b^en  provided  a  plant  to  supply 
great  quantities  of  gas  for  balloons.  The  E«xpo8ition  is  doing  all  in 
its  power  to  make  practicable  a  demonstration  which  will  win  the 
prize  of  $100,000  offered  to  the  airship  which  shall  make  the  best  record 
over  a  course  marked  by  captive  balloons  at  a  speed  of  not  less  than 
twenty  miles  an  hour.  Entries  in  good  faith  have  been  made.  The 
present  indications  are  that  the  prize  will  be  won  under  the  condi- 
tions imposed.  There  will  be  balloon  races.  There  will  be  balloon 
voyages  with  the  prize  depending  on  the  distance  covered.  There  will 
be  balloon  ascensions  with  the  prize  depending  on  the  altitude  reached. 
Over  $50,000  will  be  distributed  for  efficiency  in  ballooning. 

The  Palace  of  Agriculture  has  the  place  of  honor  not  only  in  point 
of  location  but  in  dimensions.  It  is  the  largest  building  on  the  grounds 
and  the  largest  ever  erected  for  one  exhibit  department  at  any  exposi- 
tion. It  faces  east  and  west  with  a  facade  over  a  third  of  a  mile  in 
length.  Even  with  this  vast  area  of  floor  space  the  agriculturists  have 
not  found  sufficient  room  and  have  spread  over  the  surroimding 
grounds  with  out-of-door  exhibits  covering  over  100  acres. 


36  TBADS  AND  OOHHEBCE  OF 

The  space  for  exhibits  in  the  Palace  of  Horticulture  at  the  Ex- 
position of  1904  is  much  greater  than  ever  before  provided  for  horti- 
cultural exhibits  at  any  exposition.  In  the  central  room  of  the  Palace 
fruit  exhibits  will  occupy  a  space  of  about  four  acres.  The  fruits  will 
be  grouped  about  a  palm  exhibit  in  the  center  of  the  roonL  From  a 
slight  eleyation  ylsitors  will  be  able  to  see  the  largest  display  of  fresh 
fruit  ever  made  at  an  exposition.  Elaborate  arrangements  have  been 
entered  into  by  various  state  commissions  and  by  representatiyes  of 
other  governments  so  that  there  is  at  present  in  cold  storage  an 
amoimt  of  fruit  measured  by  carloads.  The  space  set  apart  for  these 
fruit  exhibits  will  be  completely  covered  on  the  opening  day.  The 
exhibits  will  be  renewed  as  often  as  necessary  and  will  continue 
throughout  the  Exposition.  On  a  space  of  two  hundred  square  feet 
near  the  center  of  the  building  will  be  table  fruits,  no  pyramid  or  in- 
stallation of  over  thirty  inches  in  height  being  permitted.  This  is 
with  the  purpose  of  affording  visitors  unobstructed  view  of  the  fruit 
displayed.  Outside  of  this  area  of  two  hundred  square  feet  higher 
installation  will  be  permitted. 

The  conservatory  is  a  portion  of  the  Palace  of  Horticulture,  230 
feet  long  by  204  feet  wide,  and  40  feet  in  height  In  this  conservatoiy 
there  will  be  plants  and  flowers  of  endless  variety  and  from  every 
clime. 

The  Department  of  Anthropology  will  not  be  confined  as  has  often 
been  the  case  at  expositions,  to  relics  and  archaeological  exhibits.  It 
will  embrace  a  large  tract  of  ground  laid  out  in  the  form  of  a  park 
with  locations  for  villages  to  be  occupied  by  Indians  and  representa- 
tive families  of  other  primitive  peoples.  The  most  notable  features 
of  the  Department  will  be  in  what  is  known  as  the  Industrial  building, 
a  large  structure  occupying  an  elevation  overlooking  the  villages  of  the 
tribes.  In  this  building  will  be  conducted  an  Indian  school  with  its 
Industrial  branches  of  carpentry,  smithing,  tailoring,  housekeeping  and 
other  occupations  now  taught  in  the  Indian  schools  conducted  by  the 
government  The  pupils  will  be  brought  from  the  schools  and  will  be 
taught  during  the  World's  Fair  period  in  the  presence  of  visitors.  In 
the  Industrial  building  will  be  carried  on  by  Indians  representing  many 
tribes,  the  typical  aboriginal  industries,  such  as  skin  dressing,  basket 
weaving,  pottery  making  and  stone  chipping.  The  workers  in  these 
industries  will  be  the  venerable  experts  of  the  various  tribes.  Thus 
the  visitor  will  see  the  aged  Indian  making  arrows  and  his  grandson 
constructing  a  wagon  under  the  same  roof,  illustrating  the  great  ad- 
vance made  by  the  Red  Race  since  the  Purchase  of  the  Territcvy  of 
Louisiana.  The  Industrial  building  itself  is  an  exhibit,  having  been 
constructed  in  part  by  Indian  pupils  trained  in  government  schools.. 

Twenty  states  and  territories  and  many  foreign  countries  will  ex- 
hibit in  forestry.    Their  displays  will  illustrate  not  only  the  industry 


THB  CITY  OP  ST.  LOUIS.  37 

of  forestry  but  the  policy  of  forestry.  Forestry  is  a  rapidly  deyelop- 
ing  science  and  forest  conservation  is  one  of  the  new  vocations  In 
this  country.  The  exhibits,  especially  those  out  of  doors  which  will 
occupy  many  acres,  will  illustrate  the  development  of  this  science  and 
the  importance  of  this  vocation. 

Interest  in  the  Fish  and  Game  exhibit  will  naturally  be  greatest 
where  the  live  fish  and  game  are  displayed  by  a  number  of  states. 
The  Aquarium  located  in  the  Palace  of  Forestry,  Fish  and  Game  occu- 
pies a  space  185  feet  long  by  85  feet  wide.  It  has  two  lines  of  tanks 
separated  by  an  aisle  fifteen  feet  wide.  There  will  be  pools,  the  cen- 
tral one  forty  feet  in  diameter  and  five  feet  deep  for  marine  specimens. 
These  pools  will  accommodate  fish  and  other  water  creatures  of  great 
size. 

In  otner  parts  of  the  building  will  be  groups  of  live  birds,  such  as 
the  pheasant,  the  quail  and  the  turkey.  Considerable  space  will  be 
given  to  displays  of  hunting  equipments  and  especially  to  the  ex- 
hibits of  decoys,  gun  cabinets,  tents  and  camping  outfits. 

The  Exposition  of  1904  makes  social  economy  a  fully  equipped  and 
co-ordinate  department  in  the  Division  of  ESxhibits.  The  regulation 
of  industry  and  labor  by  governments  is  represented  notably  in  ex- 
hibits. The  work  of  reform  associations  will  be  illustrated.  There 
will  be  models  of  factories,  of  workingmen's  houses,  of  villages  from 
Great  Britain,  France,  Germany  and  other  countries.  The  section  of 
charities  and  corrections  will  illustrate  what  organized  charity  is  ac- 
complishing in  cities. 

While  a  large  building  will  be  completely  filled  with  exhibits  and 
apparatus  relating  to  the  physical  training,  these  will  be  the  least 
interesting  features  of  the  Department  of  Physical  Culture.  A  pro- 
gramme of  sports  and  contests  beginning  in  May  and  continuing 
through  to  November  has  been  arranged.  It  will  be  carried  out  on 
an  athletic  field  constructed  at  large  cost  and  said  to  be  the  finest  in 
the  United  States.  This  field  contains  a  stadium  of  large  seating  ca- 
pacity upon  concrete  foundations.  An  appropriation  of  $150,000  has 
been  devoted  to  the  contests.  Naturally  the  Olympic  games,  a  quad- 
rennial event  in  which  the  best  men  physically  of  many  nations  par- 
ticipate, constitute  the  leading  feature  of  the  programme.  The  Olym- 
piad of  1904  will  last  an  entire  week.  These  ancient  games  of  Greece 
were  revived  at  Athens  in  1896.  A  second  series  of  them  was  held 
at  Paris  in  1900,  where  American  athletes  won  nine-tenths  of  the 
prizes.  The  games  at  the  World's  Fair  will  be  conducted  under  the 
auspices  of  a  special  American  committee  acting  with  the  international 
committee  on  Olympic  games. 

While  the  Olympic  games  during  their  continuance  win  be  of  over- 
shadowing interest,  they  will  constitute  but  very  small  part  of  the  pro- 
gramme of  athletics.    That  programme  will  open  with  events  in  May;

it  will  not  be  completed  until  the  latter  part  of  Noyember.  It  will 
include:  Two  days  devoted  to  deciding  the  national  championship  by 
the  Amateur  Athletic  Union  of  the  United  States;  bicycling,  national 
interscholastic  championship;  quoits;  the  national  swimming  cham- 
pionship of  America,  including  plunging,  short  and  long  dstance  rac- 
ing, diving  and  water  polo,  as  well  as  college  aquatic  championships; 
lawn  tennis,  a  cross-country  championship  contest;  cricket;  associa- 
tion football;  Gaelic  football;  an  international  hurling  match;  roque 
championship;  basket-ball  championship  for  schools;  Toung  Men's 
Christian  Association  and  college  athletic  clubs  gymnastic  champion- 
ships; archery  for  men  and  women;  equestrian  polo  and  lacrosse. 
There  will  be  a  championship  meeting  for  colleges  of  the  Western 
States  and  a  national  intercollegiate  meeting,  as  well  as  contests  among 
the  Qerman  Turners  of  America.  Toung  Men's  Christian  Association 
championships,  fencing  for  the  championship  of  the  world,  wrestling, 
all  weights,  for  amateurs  only,  automobile  races  are  also  included  in 
the  prog^ramme. 

A  liberal  appropriation  has  been  set  aside  for  college  football  and 
baseball.  The  handicap  college  athletic  meetings  are  to  be  held  in  the 
early  part  of  the  year.  There  are  schoolboy  meetings  for  the  schools 
of  St  Louis,  and  meetings  for  the  colleges  of  St  Louis  and  the  col- 
leges of  the  West  as  well  as  the  athletic  clubs  of  St  Louis  and  the 
athletic  clubs  of  the  West 

For  live-stock  premiums  the  Exposition  has  appropriated  $250,000 
to  be  distributed  in  more  than  26,000  separate  awards.  No  other 
World's  Fair  made  provision  for  live-stock  on  a  scale  to  compare 
with  this  either  in  magnitude  or  comprehensiveness.  There  will  be 
24  classes  for  horses,  25  classes  for  cattle,  27  classes  for  swine, 
sheep  and  goats.  The  prizes  offered  for  swine  alone  number  nearly 
8,000.  The  prizes  to  be  given  for  poultry  and  domesticated  birds, 
go  so  far  as  to  include  ostriches,  numbering  10,000. 

It  is  the  experience  of  expositions  that  two  things  are  of  primary 
importance  to  influence  attendance.  One  is  the  excursion  ticket 
That  has  received  much  attention.  Assurances  have  been  given  by  the 
railroads  which  warrant  the  expectation  that  this  Exposition  will 
enjoy  liberal  treatment  from  the  beginning  to  the  end.  The  Elxposition 
Management  has  listed  267  national  and  international  conventions 
which  will  hold  their  annual  or  biennial  sessions  at  St  Louis  during 
the  year  1904.  From  indications  this  number  will  be  increased  to 
over  300  conventions.  The  railroads  are  fully  informed  that  all 
roads  will  lead  to  St.  Louis  during  the  coming  year  and  have  made 
their  arrangements  and  their  excursion  rates  accordingly. 

These  conventions  and  these  special  events  have  immediate  and 
Important  bearing  upon  attendance. 


THB  CITY  OP  ST.  LOTHS.  39 

Besides  the  conventions  there  have  been  arranged  396  anniver- 
saries, celebrations  and  programmes.  When  the  statement  is  made 
that  for  Chicago  there  were  119  special  days  or  conventions  within 
the  entire  period  it  will  be  understood  how  thorough  has  been  the 
work  to  organize  the  attendance  at  St  Louis.  In  addition  to  the  267 
national  and  international  conventions  and  in  addition  to  the  396  anni- 
versaries and  special  events  there  will  be  the  aeronautic  contests, 
the  military  drills,  the  band  contests  and  other  features  to  maintain 
the  public  interest  outside  of  the  architectural  beauty,  the  wonderful 
array  of  exhibits  and  the  concession  amusement  features.

42  TRADE  AND  COMMERCE  OF 


REVIEW. 


Tlie  year  1903  has  been  remarkable  In  St.  Louis  not  so  much  for 
the  increase  in  its  population,  or  for  the  increase  in  the  product  of  its 
factories,  or  for  the  increase  in  the  volume  of  the  business  of  the  city, 
great  as  all  of  these  have  been,  but  for  the  change  in  the  physical  ap- 
pearance of  the  city,  due  to  the  spirit  of  improvement  now  under  new 
stimulus  by  the  World's  Fair.    This  spirit  has  been  active  in  ways  that 
not  only  show  results  now  but  will  be  of  permanent  value  to  the  city. 
New  office  buildings,  wholesale  and  retail  houses,  have  gone  up  in  tbe 
business  section,  the  permanent  hotel  capacity  of  the  city  has  been 
trebled,  apartment  houses  of  the  modem  type,  flats  and  dwellings,  have 
been  built  in  large  numbers.    The  value  of  the  building  done  last  year 
was  114,500,000,  which  makes  140,561,000  spent  in  the  last  three  years  on 
building.    While  some  of  these  buildings  are  of  temporary  construc- 
tion, more  than  90  per  cent  of  this  money  represents  permanent  struct- 
ures.   Several  million  dollars  have  been  spent  by  the  city  and  by  the 
property  owners  through  special  taxes  on  improving  the  old  streets, 
building  new  ones,  and  perfecting  the  sewerage  system,  now  acknowl- 
edged by  sanitary  experts  to  be  one  of  the  best  in  this  country.    A 
comprehensive  system  of  clarifying  devices  is  being  installed  at  the 
Water  Works,  and  will  be  ready  for  use  very  soon. 

Terminals  for  both  freight  and  passenger  business  have  been  im- 
proved on  both  sides  of  the  river  by  both  the  Terminal  Association  and 
the  railways,  and  this  work  is  now  going  on,  the  intention  of  the  com- 
panies being  to  handle  passengers  and  merchandise  without  conges- 
tion. Three  railway  bridges  across  the  river,  the  tunnel  and  the  belt 
line  are  all  to  be  used  in  a  harmonious  whole  to  carry  out  the  terminal 
plans  this  year.  The  changes  in  the  tracks  about  the  Union  Station, 
the  installation  of  the  most  modem  interlocking  switch  and  block 
signal  devices,  the  subway  for  baggage  and  mail,  all  are  improvements 
that  indicate  the  transportation  problem  is  in  hand  and  will  be  solved. 

The  growth  of  the  business  of  St.  Louis  has  been  symmetrical  with 
all  this  striking  superflcial  improvement  The  towns  and  country  of 
the  Mississippi  Valley,  the  West  and  Southwest,  have  grown  greatly, 
and  the  settlement  has  been  fast  and  solid.  As  was  the  case  for  1901 
and  1902,  nearly  half  the  railway  building  of  the  United  States  was  in 
the  Southwest  in  1908.  Stock  men,  farmers,  fruit  raisers,  lumbermen 
and  miners  have  all  had  a  good  year,  and  have  sold  their  products  to 
St.  Louis,  and  bought  here  in  return.  This  prosperity  of  the  city's 
trade  territory  has  naturally  been  reflected  in  the  banks  and  trust 
companies,  whose  business  has  been  excellent 


THE  CITY  OP  ST.  LOUIS.  43 

Only  two  of  the  five  largest  cities  of  the  United  States,  St.  Louis 
and  Chicago,  showed  an  increase  of  bank  clearings  in  1903  over  those 
of  1902,  New  York,  Philadelphia  and  Boston  showing  a  decrease.  The 
increase  in  St.  Louis  of  $3,674,925  means  much  for  the  volume  of  busi- 
ness, for  the  clearings  of  last  year  had  much  less  of  the  element  of 
speculative  transactions  than  those  of  1902.  It  is  true  that  bank  clear- 
ings do  not  exactly  represent  the  volume  of  business,  but  they  keep  very 
close  to  that,  and  increase  and  decrease,  as  general  business  does.  The 
net  earnings  of  the  banks  and  trust  companies  for  the  year  were 
16,264,833. 

New  capital  has  been  invested  in  St.  Louis  during  the  year  for  mer- 
cantile and  manufacturing  purposes  amounting  to  $19,728,500,  and  of 
this  $13,217,000  went  into  manufacturing  plants.  The  manufacturing 
interests  of  the  city  report  an  increased  product,  between  fifteen  and 
twenty-five  per  cent  more  than  in  1902,  and  the  tendency  of  manu- 
facturing being  now  westward,  St.  Louis  is  profiting.  The  two  belt 
lines  of  the  Terminal  Railway  make  accessible  many  attractive  manu* 
facturing  locations.  The  coal  fields  near  by,  which  make  fuel  cheap, 
and  the  great  advantages  St.  Louis  has  over  other  points  for  the  dis- 
tribution of  the  factory  product,  count  very  heavily  with  manufactur- 
ing capitalists  who  are  looking  for  places  to  establish  new  factories 
or  owners  seeking  a  change  of  site. 

In  nearly  every  line  of  wholesale  business  an  increase  is  reported 
over  the  business  of  1902,  only  one  or  two  affected  by  some  special  trade 
condition  having  fallen  behind  the  figures  of  that  year.  The  general 
retail  business  of  the  city  in  every  line  has  been  markedly  and  bene- 
ficially afFected  by  the  rapid  increase  in  population.  The  population  of 
the  city,  not  quite  six  hundred  thousand  by  the  census  of  1900,  has 
grown  to  700,000  in  the  three  years  and  a  half  which  have  passed  since 
then,  and  the  volume  of  trade  in  every  direction  has  felt  the  presence 
of  this  100,000  people. 

There  are  two  things  about  the  business  of  every  large  city  that 
show  with  the  most  unwavering  fidelity  to  truth  the  condition  of  that 
business,  uninfluenced  by  feeling.  These  are  the  figures  that  show  the 
amount  of  freight  handled  by  the  transportation  agencies  in  and  out  of 
the  city,  and  the  Post  Office  receipts.  In  1902  the  railways  and  the 
river  brought  into  St.  Louis  and  took  out  29,737,577  tons  of  freight,  raw 
material  for  factories,  the  finished  product  of  the  local  factories,  the  fuel 
for  them,  the  farm  and  stock  and  woodland  product  of  the  city's  trade 
territory  and  merchandise.  In  1903,  this  freight  increased  to  35,104,193 
tons,  which  shows  that  the  volume  of  freight  handled  last  year  was 
over  one-fifth  more  than  the  volume  of  freight  handled  in  1902. 

The  Post  Office  receipts  for  1902  were  $2,736,763,  and  this  increased 
in  1903  to  $3,111,490,  a  gain  of  $374,727. 

The  grain  trade  of  the  year  was  nearly  equal  to  1902,  notwith- 
standing the  great  loss  sustained  *by  reason  of  the  fiood  conditions  in 


44  TRADE  AND  COMMERCE  OF 

June  last  On  account  of  the  falling  off  of  the  winter  Wheat  yield,  the 
receipts  of  this  cereal  were  considerably  less  than  usual,  but  the  re* 
celpts  of  com  materially  increased. 

The  total  amount  of  the  coarse  grains  receired  were  68,894,986 
bushels,  as  compared  with  70,437,072  bushels  in  1902. 

The  amount  of  fl<Dur  manufactured  was  1,112,316  barrels,  while 
the  amount  received  from  country  points  was  2,340,695  barrels,  a  total 
of  8,463,011  barrels  handled,  against  2,684,451  barrels  in  the  previonB 
year. 

The  trade  estimates  for  1903  considered  under  the  general  head  of 
groceries,  the  grocers  specialty  houses*  the  coffee  and  tea  business,  the 
cheese  Jobbers,  the  syrup  refineries  and  a  number  of  smaller  and  closely 
allied  lines,  and  the  ralue  of  their  total  distribution  is  placed  at  |78,000,- 
000,  which  is  an  increase  of  13,000,000  over  the  business  of  last  year. 
The  coffee  trade  is  the  largest  and  most  rapidly  Increasing  part  of  the 
grocery  business,  and  is  ranking  with  boots  and  shoes,  dry  goods,  hard- 
ware and  drugs  as  a  line  in  which  St  Louis  excels. 

The  conservatism  of  St  Louis  has  been  very  thoroughly  proven  by 
the  transactions  in  real  estate.  Notwithstanding  the  opportunities  af- 
forded for  a  "World's  Fair  boom  in  1903"  there  has  been  absolutely 
no  over-speculation,  although  much  activity  in  building,  and  a  natural 
corresponding  increase  in  the  manufacture  of  brick,  already  one  of 
the  leading  interests  of  St  Louis. 

The  transfers  in  real  estate  in  1903  aggregated  151,165,625,  being 
an  increase  in  realty  values  of  15,000,000  over  the  transfers  made  in 
1902. 

The  wholesale  dry  'goods  trade,  considering  dry  goods  only,  exclud- 
ing all  kindred  lines,  such  as  notions  and  millinery,  increased  greatly, 
the  sales  for  1908  amounting  to  150,000,000,  against  $47,000,000  for  1902. 
The  conditions  in  this  trade  indicate  that  the  business  will  go  to  |56,- 
000,000  in  1904,  and  most  houses  are  buying  on  this  theory. 

All  the  lines  of  Jobbing  goods,  in  lines  akin  to  dry  goods»  have 
followed  very  closely  this  percentage  of  increase,  some  of  them  appear- 
ing even  better. 

The  total  sales  of  the  Jobbing  millinery  houses  for  1908  were 
17,600,000,  which  is  an  increase  of  $1,500,000  over  the  business  of  1902» 
and  a  new  and  strong  wholesale  house  has  been  lately  established. 

The  notion  wholesale  business  is  reported  as  thirteen  per  cent 
greater  than  that  of  1902,  being  for  1908  nearly  $4,000,000.  This  unusual 
and  rapid  increase  is  accounted  for  to  some  extent  by  the  fact  that  two 
of  the  largest  mail  order  houses  in  the  United  States  are  established 
here,  and  much  of  their  business  is  the  distribution  of  goods  classified 
as  notions. 

The  clothing  houses  are  well  satisfied  with  the  year's  business, 
which  was  $7,000,000.  The  increase  over  the  business  of  1902  In  this 
line  was  not  great,  but  prices  ruled  higher. 


THE  OITY  OF  ST.  LOUIS.  45 

The  boot  and  shoe  business  of  St.  Louis  has  giren  during  1903  risi- 
ble signs  of  very  great  prosperity.  The  total  distribution  of  boots  and 
shoes  has  amounted  to  |45,000,000,  an  increase  of  ten  per  cent  over  the 
business  of  1902.  This  is  a  much  greater  distribution  business  than  is 
done  in  any  other  city  in  the  United  States.  The  capital  inrested  in 
the  business  has  been  increased  by  |2,000»000.  Six  new  factories  have 
been  put  into  operation  by  the  St  Louis  houses,  four  in  the  city  and  two 
elsewhere,  these  two  haying  been  bought  The  factory  product  of  the 
St  Louis  houses,  consequently,  has  been  increased  25,000  pairs  a  day. 
Two  new  factories  this  early  hare  been  planned  for  1904,  and  an  in- 
crease in  the  general  business  this  year  is  expected. 

The  home  manufacture  of  boots  and  shoes  has  been  increasing  so 
tAst,  that  it  is  reasonably  believed  that  St.  Louis  will  by  the  next  cen- 
sus be  very  near  the  first  city  of  the  United  States  in  this  manufacture. 
This  is  readily  believed  when  it  is  remembered  that  as  St.  Louis  makes 
more  and  more  of  the  goods  it  sells,  it  not  only  rises  in  rank  itself  but 
causes  Brockton  and  Haverhill,  the  two  leaders,  which  supply  the  West, 
to  come  down  in  rank,  thus  equalizing  the  position  of  the  cities.  An 
increase  of  manufacturing  here  during  the  next  seven  years,  equal  to 
the  increase  of  the  last  three,  will  bring  about  this  result 

Strikes,  and  the  attending  unsettled  condition  of  trade,  afFected 
the  volume  of  sales  in  shelf  and  heavy  hardware  in  1903.  The  esti- 
mated .sales  by  St.  Louis  houses  exceed  $35,000,000,  which  is  only 
slightly  in  excess  of  the  trade  of  1902. 

The  hardware  trade  is  strong  today,  and  estimates  for  1904  indi- 
cate an  increase  in  sales  approximating  15,000,000  over  1903. 

St  Louis  is  also  now  manufacturing  large  quantities  of  enameled 
ware,  tinware,  strap  hinges,  and  other  things  in  the  hardware  line, 
which  heretofore  were  purchased  in  other  markets. 

The  agricultural  implement  business  of  St  Louis  during  1903  was 
very  good,  the  estimate  being  $15,000,000,  but  did  not  exceed  that  of 
1902  on  account  of  untoward  conditions  as  to  the  com  crop  in  Missouri 
and  the  cotton  crop  of  some  parts  of  the  South  and  the  floods  in  the 
Upper  Mississippi  River  and  its  connections.  The  com  crop  of  Mis- 
souri fell  off  from  a  value  of  about  $87,000,000  on  the  farm  in  1902  to  a 
value  of  about  $70,000,000  in  1903,  and  the  acreage  sown  in  wheat  was 
less  in  1903  than  in  1902. 

The  manufacture  and  sale  of  vehicles  of  all  kinds  was  much 
greater  than  it  was  in  1902,  the  increase  being  more  than  flve  per  cent. 
The  sales  of  1903  were  $6,500,000.  St  Louis  is  now  one  of  the  most 
important  cities  of  the  country  in  this  specialty,  and  the  business  is 
growing  with  such  rapidity  that  it  will  have  a  very  important  place  in 
the  next  census. 

The  sales  of  furniture  and  kindred  lines,  such  as  coffins,  mat- 
tresses and  springs  and  other  lines  that  are  usually  handled  by  furni- 
ture dealers,  amounted  in  1903  to  about  $26,000,000.    The  furniture 


46  TRADE  AND  GOMMSROE  OF 

trade  territory  of  St  Louis  practically  embraces  everything  west  of  the 
Mississippi  River  and  south  of  the  Minnesota  line;  southern  half  of  Illi- 
nois and  Indiana;  western  parts  of  Kentucky  and  Tennessee,  and  all  of 
Mississippi  and  Alabama.  During  the  year  1903  over  three  thousand 
buyers  registered  at  thia  office  of  the  St  Louis  Funiiture  Manufacturers' 
Elzhibition  Building.  The  growth  of  the  demand  for  St  Louis  made  fur- 
niture has  been  remarkable  in  the  past  year. 

The  development  of  the  electrical  supply  business  in  St  Louis  in 
recent  years  has  been  marvelous,  and  within  the  next  decade  St  Louis 
Is  destined  to  become  the  greatest  distributing  point  for  these  goods  in 
the  West. 

The  sales  of  electrical  supply  wares  in  St.  Louis  for  the  year  1903 
will  exceed  $7,000,000,  which  is  exclusive  of  the  enormous  quantities  of 
materials  used  by  the  Louisiana  Purchase  Exposition. 

The  electrical  supply  trade  of  St  Louis  is  being  largely  augmented 
by  the  development  of  manufacturing  and  railway  interests  in  Southern 
States — namely,  Alabama,  Arkansas,  Mississippi,  Louisiana,  Texas,  Ok- 
lahoma and  Indian  Territory. 

While  St  Louis  does  not  manufacture  any  paper,  this  city  is  recog- 
nized as  a  leading  trade  point  In  1902  the  volume  of  business  was  in 
excess  of  $5,000,000,  and  the  estimate  for  1903  is  $6,950,000,  with  prac- 
tically no  variation  in  prices.  The  local  consumption  is  largely  re- 
siK>nsible  for  the  increase  shown. 

Bach  year  the  growth  in  the  paper  trade  of  St  Louis  is  being  aug- 
mented by  buyers  in  the  South  and  Southwest  placing  their  orders 
through  our  Jobbers,  whereas  they  previously  ordered  from  outside 
dealers. 

The  manufacture  of  fire-clay  goods  is  one  that  is  growing  very  fast 
here  because  of  the  large  deposits  near  the  city  of  highly  refractory 
clays.  The  business  done  in  all  the  fire-clay  goods,  including  crude 
clays,  fire  brick,  sewer  pipe  and  miscellaneous  products,  was  about 
$3,500,000,  which  was  ten  per  cent  more  than  the  business  of  1902. 

The  sales  of  hats  and  caps  in  St  Louis  for  the  year  1903  show  a 
gain  of  about  ten  per  cent  over  1902,  the  sales  aggregating  about  $5,000,- 
000,  with  an  investment  of  $1,500,000  capital.  St  Louis  is  the  leading 
market  for  the  sale  of  soft  hats,  although  there  is  no  factory  located  in 
the  city.  The  trade  territory  in  hats  and  caps  supplied  by  St  Louis 
dealers  embraces  every  State  west  of  Michigan,  Ohio  and  Georgia. 

The  manufacture  of  candy  by  St.  Louis  factories  is  rapidly  expand- 
ing, and  for  the  year  1903  amounted  to  about  $4,000,000.  The  out- 
put is  estimated  at  60,000,000  pounds,  of  which  about  $500,000  worth  was 
made  outside  of  St.  Louis.  Local  candy  manufacturers  sell  exclusively 
to  the  retail  trade  in  the  South  and  Southwest,  and  to  the  Jobbing  trade 
as  far  East  as  Pittsburg,  as  well  as  throughout  the  Western  and  North- 
western States.  The  standard  of  quality  compares  favorably  with  out- 
side factories. 


THE  CITY  OP  ST.  LOmS.  47 

The  output  of  car  wheels  In  St.  Louis  was  In  excess  of  |3,500,000 
for  the  year  1903,  which  Is  an  Increase  of  about  33 1/3  per  cent  oyer 
the  year  1902.    The  prospects  for  1904  promise  an  Increase  over  1908. 

For  the  year  1908  the  sales  of  plumbers'  supplies  amounted  to 
13,000,000,  the  Tolume  of  trade  being  about  the  same  as  the  year  1902. 
Construction  operations  were  retarded  In  1902  by  unusual  strikes  and 
unusually  high  prices,  but  the  present  year  will  show  an  enormous 
Increase  In  this  trade. 

St  Louis  Is  obtaining  great  prominence  as  a  manufacturer  and 
Jobber  of  drugs,  chemicals,  paints,  oils  and  varnishes  and  patent  med- 
icines. Each  of  these  branches  has  grown  during  1903  at  least  eight 
per  cent  larger  than  It  was  In  1902.  The  sale  of  Tarnishes  has  in- 
creased, the  patent  medicine  business  has  Increased  eight  per  cent, 
paints  and  oils  nine  per  cent,  chemicals  twelve  and  one-half  per  cent, 
and  drugs  fifteen  per  cent  One  house  manufacturing  chemicals  has  a 
national  reputation,  and  ships  Its  products  to  all  parts  of  the  United 
States.  One  patent  medicine  concern  does  so  large  a  business  that  it 
is  the  largest  single  buyer  of  postage  stamps  In  the  city. 

The  white  lead  business  is  great  enough  to  deserve  special  atten- 
tion. St  Louis  makes  and  sells  one-quarter  of  all  the  white  lead  sold 
in  the  United  States,  and  is  the  most  important  city  in  this  line  in  the 
country.    Last  year  it  made  2,600  tons,  worth  13,000,000. 

The  sales  in  these  lines  for  1903  were:  Drugs,  110,500,000;  chem- 
icals, $5,000,000;  paints  and  oils,  including  white  lead,  $10,000,000,  and 
patent  medicines,  $5,850,000,  the  total  being  $31,350,000. 

St.  Louis  is  not  the  largest  producer  of  beer  in  the  United  States, 
but  the  largest  brewery  in  the  world  is  here.  The  output  was  86,980,448 
gallons,  representing  a  value  of  $16,825,248. 

The  smoking  and  plug  tobacco  manufacture  of  St  Louis  was  steady 
during  1903,  the  output  being  80,875,428  pounds,  valued  at  about  $25,- 
883,655.  This  Is  not  quite  so  much  as  the  amount  manufactured  in 
1902,  although  very  near  it  The  output  still  keeps  St  Louis  at  the 
head  of  the  cities  manufacturing  plug  tobacco,  and  the  prospects  are 
that  it  will  retain  this  position  permanently. 

The  fur  business  has  a  unique  position  in  St  Louis.  When  Laclede 
Li£niest  founded  St.  Louis,  trading  in  furs  was  the  chief  business  of  the 
city,  and  it  has  ever  since  held  Its  consequence  In  relation  to  the  fur 
business  of  other  cities.  Furs  of  the  smaller  kind  from  every  State 
and  Territory  in  the  South  and  West  are  brought  here.  Last  year' more 
than  five  million  dollars  were  paid  by  buyers  who  came  to  St  Louis 
to  take  advantage  of  this  market  The  business  has  grown  fast  in  the 
last  five  years,  and  the  figures  of  1903  are  an  increase  of  eight  per  cent 
over  the  business  of  1902.  There  is  no  other  city  in  the  United  States 
which  offers  such  Inducement  to  the  fur  buyer  as  this,  and  all  the 
houses  in  the  business  have  done  very  well  during  the  year. 

The  building  of  railway  cars,  passenger  and  freight,  and  all  kinds 
of  cars  for  street  railways,  but  particularly  electric  cars,  is  an  industry 


48  TRADE  AND  OOHHBRCE  OF 

that  made  St  Louis  famoos.  More  than  |5,000,000  worth  of  street  cars 
alone  were  built  in  St  Louis  in  1903,  and  deliyered  to  street  railway 
lines  all  oyer  the  United  States,  some  abroad.  There  was  an  increase 
this  year  in  this  building  of  about  25  per  cent  and  the  prospects  for 
1904,  industrial  conditions  remaining  as  they  are  now,  are  even  better. 

The  St.  Louis  steam  railway  car  builders  not  only  manufacture 
here,  having  three  plants  in  and  near  the  city,  but  control  the  product 
of  a  number  of  other  factories.  Altogether,  these  turned  out  in  1903, 
the  product  being  distributed  through  the  St  Louis  offices,  70,000  pas- 
senger and  freight  cars,  of  an  average  value  of  $800  apiece,  the  total 
output  thus  amounting  to  166,000,000.  If  the  railways  are  able  this 
year  to  adequately  finance  the  extensions  in  this  territory  they  project 
or  even  carry  to  completion,  their  present  plans  for  the  equipment  of 
their  roads,  this  business  will  gain  during  the  year. 

This  same  statement  holds  good  respecting  the  business  of  railway 
supplies,  for  both  steam  and  street  car  lines.  St.  Louis  has  grown 
in  this  business,  as  with  car  building,  as  the  railways  have  built  In- 
cluding among  railway  supplies  the  manufacture  of  car  seats,  which  is 
a  factor  of  the  business  that  particularly  distinguishes  this  city,  the 
total  sales  for  the  year  have  been  something  over  125,000,000,  an  in- 
crease over  the  business  of  1902  of  about  20  per  cent 

St  Louis  has  for  years  excelled  any  city  in  the  United  States  as  a 
distributor  of  woodenware  of  all  sorts.  More  than  half  of  the  business 
of  the  whole  country  is  done  in  St  Louis.  This  amounted  to  $12,000,000 
— ^an  increase  of  one-fifth  over  the  business  of  1902. 

St  Louis  manufactures  plate  glass  and  bottles,  but  no  window 
glass.  Capital  controlled  here  owns  two  plate  glass  factories,  one  at 
Crystal  City  and  the  other  at  Valley  Park,  whose  capacity  combined  is 
about  4,000,000  feet  of  plate  glass  a  year.  This  city  is  specially  advan- 
tageous for  the  manufacture  of  plate  and  window  glass,  as  it  has  in 
the  vicinity  the  largest  and  best  sandbeds  in  the  country,  and  cheap 
coal  very  close.  The  Jobbers  in  plate  glass  sold  last  year  $2,000,000 
worth. 

The  hide  market  also  has  been  in  very  good  condition  during  1903, 
and  the  dealers  all  report  a  business  better  than  that  of  1902  by  a  con- 
siderable margin.    The  sales  last  year  amounted  to  $11,000,000. 

The  manufacture  of  trunks  and  traveling  bags  and  cases  of  all 
kinds,  while  a  minor  industry,  is  an  important  one  on  account  of  its 
rapid  growth.  There  are  five  factories,  two  of  consequence  in  the  city, 
and  they  make  all  of  the  goods  Jobbed  here,  except  a  few  speclaltlea 
The  value  of  the  sales  in  1903  was  $2,000,0Q0. 

In  foundry  and  machine  shop  product  of  all  kinds  the  business  of 
St.  Louis  has  grown  greatly  since  the  census  of  1900  was  taken,  the 
value  of  the  product  then  having  been  $3,056,856.  The  value  of  the 
product  turned  out  in  1903  was  $5,000,000,  and  the  prospects  are  better 
even  than  this  for  the  manufacture  of  1904. 

In  other  lines  not  mentioned  in  this  review  the  same  healthy  and  sat- 
isfactory condition  is  noted,  showing  that  the  Jobbing  and  manufactur- 
ing business  of  St  Louis  is  on  a  stable  basis  and  is  increasing  and  ex- 
panding year  by  year.

52  TRADE  AND  COMMERCE  OF 


MANUFACTURING  INDUSTRIES,  1903. 


By  CHA8  S.  Wabb,  Secretary  St.  Lonls  Manafacturers  Asssociation. 


The  year  1903  in  manufacturing  lines  has  been  a  busy  one,  and  in 
spite  of  many  unusual  hardships  has  been  satisfactory  from  a  remuner- 
atire  standpoint  The  great  floods  and  consequent  interruption  in  rail- 
transportation,  caused  many  industrial  lines  to  suffer  almost  a  shut- 
down for  a  considerable  period;  but  statistics  gathered  from  aU 
branches  of  manufacture  indicate  an  increase  in  the  product  of  from 
fifteen  to  twenty-five  per  cent,  and  in  some  special  instances  an  in- 
crease of  almost  one  hundred  per  cent 

The  St  Louis  Manufacturers'  Association  has  continued  its  endeay- 
ors  to  lessen  the  cost  of  manufacture  by  securing  reductions  in  taxa- 
tion and  other  expenses  connected  with  it,  and  to  induce  the  establish- 
ment of  new  industries  by  bringing  before  the  country  the  superior 
adrantages  of  the  city  as  a  location  for  manufacturing  plants. 

Many  of  the  manufacturing  lines  have  shown  wonderful  increase, 
both  in  enlargement  of  their  plants,  and  amount  of  their  product  This 
is  particularly  so  of  the  shoe  Industry.  The  increase  in  capacity  of 
factories  in  this  line  has  been  fully  thirty-three  and  a  third  per  cent; 
and  the  product  will  show  an  increase  of  almost  twenty-five  per  cent 

The  manufacture  of  chemicals  has  largely  grown  during  the  year; 
and  the  four  chemical  manufacturing  companies  'viiich  existed  ten 
years  ago,  are  now  represented  by  twenty  that  are  manuCacturing 
standard  goods.  The  increase  during  the  past  year  has  been  fully 
twenty  per  cent,  and  all  the  factories  anticipate  a  still  greater  in- 
crease during  the  next  year.  Some  of  the  factories  have  doubled  their 
capacity  within  the  past  twelve  months. 

The  manufacture  of  tin  cans  has  been  largely  increased  during 
the  year;  and  there  are  at  present  eight  concerns  in  this  line,  not 
including  factories  engaged  in  stamped  and  tinware.  The  eight  re- 
ferred to  manufacture  tin  cans  exclusively.  During  1903  several  large 
factory  buildings  have  been  erected  for  this  purpose,  and  in  some  in- 
stances the  business  of  the  firms  have  increased  fifty  per  cent  This 
line  of  business  was  largely  affected  by  the  unprecedented  delay  in. 
receiving  raw  material. 

The  coffee  and  spice  industry  has  greatly  increased.  Several  large 
buildings  for  the  preparation  of  these  goods  have  been  erected,  and 
the  business  during  1903  was  fully  twenty  per  cent  over  any  former 
year  in  this  line  in  St  Louis. 


THE  CITY  OF  ST.  LOUIS.  53 

The  manufacture  of  glass  has  hecome  one  of  the  principal  indus- 
tries of  St.  Louis  and  her  suburbs.  Several  immense  warehouses  have 
been  erected  during  the  year,  and  the  increase  in  this  industry  has 
been  fully  twenty-five  per  cent. 

A  new  and  important  manufacturing  plant  has  been  established 
during  the  past  year.  The  manufacture  of  terra  cotta  of  the  finest 
quality;  and  the  demand  for  the  products  of  this  industry  in  St.  Louis 
insures  its  manufacture  becoming  very  extensive. 

•  The  car  manufacturing  plants  report  excellent  business  during 
the  year,  and  a  number  of  them  are  largely  increasing  their  capacity. 

The  manufacture  of  wagons  and  buggies  has  shown  wonderful 
growth  during  the  year  1903,  and  there  have  been  a  number  of  large 
additional  plants  added  to  this  branch  of  manufacture  in  the  city.  ^ 
Many  of  the  old  establishments  also  added  to  their  capacity. 

It  is  impossible  to  go  into  detail  of  the  growth  and  advancement 
of  all  manufacturing  in  St.  Louis  during  1903,  but  as  stated  above, 
from  every  possible  source  of  information,  the  increase  in  all  lines  of 
manufacture  has  been  from  fifteen  to  twenty-five  per  cent. 

The  St  Louis  Manufacturers'  Association  during  the  World's  Fair 
proposes  to  make  spec^l  efforts  to  interest  the  visitors,  who  are  en- 
gaged in  manufacturing  elsewhere,  in  St  Louis  as  an  advantageous 
point  for  new  plants  and  branches  of  their  present  plants;  and  special  - 
committees  of  the  Association  will  be  appointed  to  take  charge  of  the 
visitors  and  show  them  the  advantageous  manufacturing  sites  on  the 
belt  lines  being  built  around  the  city,  and  along  the  river  front  from 
the  River  Des  Peres  to  the  Chain  of  Rocks. 

The  earnest  efforts  being  made  by  all  railroads  entering  the  city, 
and  the  Terminal  lines  within  the  city,  to  make  the  receiving  and  ship- 
ping of  manufactured  nroducts  more  convenient  and  cheaper,  is  ap- 
preciated by  the  manufacturers,  and  it  is  now  a  certainty  that  St  Louis 
within  the  next  ten  years,  will  become  the  greatest  manufacturing  cen- 
ter in  the  United  States;  and  the  completion  of  the  Panama  Canal  will 
lead  to  her  manufactured  products  being  sought  by  all  parts  of  the 
world.

'In  many  respects  the  year  1903  in  the  realty  market  in  St  Louia 
has  been  a  remarkable  one.  While  the  community  has  shared  to  a 
large  extent  in  the  period  of  prosperity  with  which  this  country  has 
been  blessed,  there  has  been  none  of  the  overspeculation  which  has

"The  tendency  of  the  arerage  hnj&r,  as  best  disclosed  by  the 
accompanying  table  of  statistics,  has  been  to  await  the  termination 
of  the  great  Bzposition,  in  the  belief  that  values  will  at  that  time  haye

"Notwithstanding  the  aloofness  of  buyers,  property  in  the  immedi- 
ate downtown  districts  has  steadily  advanced  in  prices.  In  the  out- 
lying sections,  however,  the  opposite  has  been  true,  and  offerings  hav« 
been  made  at  the  lowest  prices  in  some  year& 

"Nevertheless,  this  operated  against  even  the  semblance  of  an  in- 
flation in  prices  in  any  part  of  the  city.  / 

"With  the  cost  of  building  material  and  labor  at  record-Dreaking 
figures,  builders  and  contractors  have  been  compelled  to  forego  many 
profitable  ventures.  The  home-builder,  anxiously  awaiting  a  sharp 
decline  in  the  cost  of  construction  and  construction  materials,  as  well 
as  in  the  hope  of  securing  his  lot  on  a  lower  valuation,  has  been  absent 
from  the  market,  while  the  speculator,  in  his  desire  to  avoid  Qiicago's 
mistakes,  has  also  been  inactive. 

"Taken  thus  together,  the  lack  of  the  above-named  two  factors, 
which  are  indispensable  to  a  realty  market,  really  brought  about  a 
unique  situation  and  one  that  strongly,  though  none  the  less  creditably, 
refiects  the  commendable  conservatism  of  the  entire  fraternity. 

"The  collapse  of  values  in  the  stock  market  during  the  last  twelve 
months,  and  the  fading  away  of  security  values,  which  in  many  in^ 
stances  are  alleged  to  have  been  fictitious,  have  again  emphasized  the 
advantages  of  real  estate  as  a  fixed  and  stable  form  ol  investment

"Though  rentals  have  adyanced  in  some  cases  materially  over 
those  prevailing  a  year  ago,  it  Is  easily  recalled  that  they^  are  not 
higher  than  they  were  a  decade  ago,  and  are  still  substanually  below 
rates  exacted  under  similar  conditions  in  other  cities.  It  is  hardly 
thought  that  there  will  be  any  further  increase  in  rents  in  St  Louis^ 
Property  owners  are  now  receiving  adequate  returns  on  their  holdings, 
and  it  is  not  the  disposition  of  real  estate  owners  to  l>e  unreasonable. 
By  this  means,  the  possible  reactionary  consequences  following  a  period 
of  Inordinate  rents  is  avoided. 

"There  continues  a  great  scarcity  of  moderatensiized  dwellings,  and 
thus  far  builders  of  this  class  of  houses  have  shown  very  little  inclina- 
tion to  increase  the  supply. 

"This  condition  may,  in  time,  and  has  to  some  extent  already 
caused  the  seeking  of  apartments,  thus  stimulating  the  construction  of 
another  kind  of  profitable  investment,  viz.,  the  building  of  apartment 
houses.

HOTEIJS. 

"Attention  was  called  in  this  report  of  a  year  ago  to  one  of  the 
greatest  problems  confronting  the  building  community— the  planning 
and  construction  of  hotels.  In  the  year  now  ending,  the  deyelopment 
in  this  field  has  been  little  short  of  phenomenaL 

"The' St  Louis  Real  Estate  Exchange  was  enabled  to  refute  the 
numerous  assertions  of  the  inability  of  St  Louis  to  care  for  its  vis- 
iting multitudes.  It  has  shown  conduslyely  that  there  will  be  no 
diftlculty  in  accommodating  the  enormous  number  of  people  expected 
during  the  Exposition  period. 

"In  addition  to  the  magnificent  structures  completed  or  in  the 
course  of  erection,  including  the  Jelferson,  Washington,  Hamilton, 
Buckingham,  Lorraine  and  other  permanent  and  artistic  additions  to 
the  city,  innumerable  temporary  buildings,  forming  a  chain  and  net* 
work  about  the  Exposition  grounds,  will  proyide  commodious  facilities 
for  the  housing  of  himdreds  of  thousands  of  guests. 

"The  number  of  hotels  of  the  latter  class  projected  have  recently 
become  so  enormous  that  it  is  almost  Impossible  for  the  exchange  to 
completely  tabulate  them.  Since  it  is  possible  to  complete  them  with- 
in  an  extremely  short  time,  sufficient  transient  accommodations  are 
now  assured. 

ASSESSMENTS. 

"Assessed  valuations  of  all  property  this  year  have  continued  with 
almost  unvarying  greatness,  the  gain  over  last  year  amounting  to 
$26,821,085.  As  a  matter  of  course,  the  revenue  from  taxation  will  un- 
dergo a  proportionate  increase. 

"At  the  rate  of  $2.16  on  the  hundred-dollar  valuation,  the  State, 
public  schools  and  municipality  will  derive  an  Income  of  19,543,109.64.

THE  SHOE  TRADE. 

From  the  Shoe  and  Leather  Oasette. 


A  TBAB  OF  GREAT   OBOWTH. 

St  Louis  shoe  firms  add  $2,000,000  working  capital,  $6,000,000 
annual  sales,  26,000  pairs  daily  manufacturing  capacity,  and  are  push- 
ing toward  even  greater  deeds  in  1904. 

The  year  1903  has  seen  the  St  Louis  shoe  market  make  a  con- 
sistent amount  of  progress,  and  the  total  business  done  was  consid- 
erably in  excess  of  any  preyious  twelve  months  of  the  city's  history. 

Besides  the  shoe  consumption  in  the  city  itself,  with  700,000  wear- 
ers thereof,  and  the  many  thousands  of  pairs  sold  singly  by  the  local 
stores  to  visiting  buyers  and  by  mail,  there  have  been  shipped  to  retail 
dealers  in  all  parts  of  the  country  and  in  a  dozen  foreign  countries, 
fully  $45,000,000  worth  of  boots  and  shoes,  an  increase  of  more  than 
ten  per  cent  for  the  year. 

These  shipments  place  St  Louis  easily  ahead  of  any  other  retailers' 
supply  center  in  the  world,  in  volume  of  trade.  There  is  probably  no 
other  city  in  the  world  where  sales  direct  to  retail  shoe  dealers  come 
within  millions  of  this  sum. 

INDIVIDUAL  HOUSES. 

The  remarkable  records  made  in  1903  by  several  of  the  great  St 
Louis  shoe  houses  have  never  been  approached. 

There  are  no  fewer  than  three  firms  whose  increase  in  amount 
of  sales  for  1903  was  more  than  a  million  dollars,  as  compared  with 
sales  of  1902,  with  several  others  close  up  toward  that  round  and  sat- 
isfying sum,  and  nearly  all  showing  a  gratifying  individual  growth  in 
business.  j 


66  TRADE  AND  OOHMBRCE  OF 

SIGNIFICANT  FIQUXBS. 

When  it  ifl  considered  that  many  a  shoe  house  that  has  been  In 
business  for  jears  and  become  fkirly  pnnninent,  has  a  total  annual 
business  of  less  than  one  mUllon  dollars,  the  significance  of  the  above 
statement  begins  to  be  impressiye. 

There  were  1,600  shoe  concerns  in  the  United  States  in  1900.  Thej 
did  an  average  business  of  something  like  $160,000  apiece.  Six  per 
cent  would  coyer  the  average  annual  increase  in  the  shoe  trade.  These 
three  St  Louis  houses  alone  therefore,  v^th  their  total  gain  of  three 
and  a  half  millions,  have  had  a  growth  equal  to  the  ayerage  growth 
of  three  hundred  and  fifty  average  sized  firms! 

Their  increase  in  business  has  been  equal  to  fifty  p^  coit  of  the 
whole  year's  export  shoe  trade  of  the  United  States.  And  these  were 
only  three  out  of  a  dozen  great  houses  that  make  and  sell  shoes  in 
St  Louis. 

VEOU  ALL  DIRECTIONS. 

So  far  as  the  Gazette  is  able  to  learn  this  great  growth  has 
come  from  Increased  sales  in  no  one  direction,  but  in  all  directions. 
The  proportion  has  undoubtedly  been  greater  in  the  Southwest,  but 
St  Louis  shoe  trade  has  held  its  own  in  all  sections. 

The  shoe  trade  naturally  reaches  farther  than  do  some  other  lines. 
Therefore  It  is  not  surprising  that  St  Louis  shoes  go  to  every  State 
in  the  Union,  except  possibly  a  few  on  the  extreme  Northeast  coast 
the  city's  influence  in  the  trade  being  strongly  felt  in  all  States  from 
the  Alleghenles  to  the  West  Coast  also  in  all  parts  of  the  South. 

Discussion  is  often  waged  over  the  question,  "Which  can  serve  the 
retail  dealer  best,  the  Jobber  or  the  manufacturer?" 

Some  argue  that  selling  shoes  direct  from  the  manufacturer  to 
the  retail  dealer  saves  handling,  saves  a  profit^  preyents  uncertainty 
as  to  demands. 

Others  argue  that  factories  which  make  a  narrow  range  of  styles 
and  prices  can  be  operated  more  economically,  and  that  a  house  which 
acts  as  a  Jobber  for  the  product  of  a  number  of  such  factories^  se- 
curing a  cheapened  product,  a  specialty  from  each,  and  therefrom 
building  up  a  general  line,  can  do  better  service  to  the  retail  dealer. 

Nearly  all  the  St  Louis  shoe  houses  have  settled  this  question  by 
combining  both  methods.  They  job  the  standard,  staple  varieties  at 
footwear,  and  they  make  in  their  own  factories  the  finer  shoes,  that 
go  direct  from  the  factories  to  the  retail  stores. 

INCREASE  IN  FACTORY  PRODUCTION. 

The  increase  in  the  amount  of  St  Louis  made  shoes  has  been  a 
yery  notable  feature.  A  much  larger  proportion  of  the  city's  sales  are 
of  home  manufacture.  The  increase  in  manufiusturing  capacity  has 
probably  been  fully  equal  to  the  increase  in  total  sales. 


THE  0IT7  OP  ST.  LOUIS.  59 

The  city's  total  Increase  during  the  year  In  factory  capacity  Is 
fully  25p000  pairs  a  day,  principally  In  men's  and  women's  better  and 
finer  grade  shoes,  with  some  children's,  also  In  the  fine  grades. 

In  purchases  from  ESastem  manufacturers  St  Louis  still  leads, 
the  shipments  from  Boston  to  the  principal  cities  during  1903  being  as 
follows:

The  furniture  and  kindred  trades  hare  for  1903  enjoyed  a  good 
business.  Its  fifty  factories  have  been  able  to  comply  with  demands — 
Increasing  their  capacity  by  improved  machinery  and  additions  to 
plants.  The  shutdowns  for  repairs  have  been  for  a  shorter  period 
than  usual;  and  while  in  certain  lines  there  were  losses  of  business  by 
reason  of  strikes,  the  general  business  can  be  said  to  be  better  than 
normaL 

The  trades  under  discussion  have  profited  liberally  by  the  gen- 
eral prosperity  existing  in  the  Western  States.  The  new  territory 
opened  up  by  the  many  railroad  extensions  has  been  a  potent  factor 
In  contributing  to  these  conditions. 

A  year  of  the  Permanent  Furniture  Ehcposltion  maintained  in  this 
city  has  shown  its  business  efficacy  In  centralizing  much  business 
here  which  heretofore  sought  these  modem  facilities  for  making  pur- 
chases in  other  ambitious  markets.  The  Bxposition  has  even  con- 
centrated here  the  lines  of  manufacture  of  many  other  cities  who  ap- 
preciate the  advantages  of  a  location  here  of  sample  lines  of  their 
goods. 

In  an  increased  measure  has  the  quality  of  the  goods  required 
been  shown,  over  the  demands  of  a  few  years  ago,  evidencing  an  edu- 
cation in  taste  as  to  style  and  a  betterment  in  prices. 

Little  advance  in  catalogue  prices  has  taken  place,  although  the 
manufacturer  has  labored  under  an  advancing  market  in  nearly  all 
materials  and  labor  as  well.  It  will  be  but  natural  that  the  ruling 
prices  for  1904  will  be  higher. 


00  TRADE  AND  OOMMEROS  OF 

Two  large  permanent  hotels  and  several  smaller  ones  have  been 
furnished  and  many  orders  have  been  placed  for  the  splendid  hostel- 
ries  which  are  shortly  to  open.  The  numerous  temporary  World's  Fair 
Hotels  are  requiring  quantities  of  goods  which  will  sw^l  the  1904 
sales. 

The  new  public  schools  furnishings  have  added  a  considerable  to 
the  sum  totals  for  the  year,  as  have  also  the  products  of  the  large 
car  furniture  ftu!tory. 

The  accession  of  inhabitants  to  the  city,  to  the  extent  of  occupy- 
ing all  vacant  residences,  has  called  upon  the  retail  houses  freely, 
creating  a  valuable  Increase  in  their  sales.  Several  new  office  build- 
ings have  required  much  in  office  outfitting  and  a  general  furnishing 
up  and  expansion  of  office  premises  show  commendable  pride  In  an- 
ticipating visiting  business  people. 

A  new  retail  furniture  and  carpet  house  is  a  record  of  the  year. 
The  retailing  of  some  special  furniture  lines  has  been  taken  up  by 
stationery  and  dry  goods  houses,  and  one  large  dry  goods  furniture 
department  has  ceased. 

In  the  allied  lines  of  mattresses,  business  has  been  brisk — In  cof- 
fins, varnishes,  etc.,  normal. 

In  consequence  of  St.  Louis  becoming  better  known  in  foreign 
countries  the  export  of  fUmlture  has  increased,  and  the  inquiries  for 
catalogues  have  been  very  numerous. 

The  capital  employed  in  the  varied  industries  under  this  caption 
is  approximately  $4,500,000.00.  The  total  sales,  including  those  of 
goods  not  of  local  make,  was  probably  126,000,000.00.  It  is  doubtful  if 
less  than  $5,000,000.00  have  been  paid  to  employes,  of  which  the  number 
Is  about  7,000. 


ST.  LOUIS  IMPLEMENT  AND  VEHICLE  TRADE  IN  1903. 

From  Farm  Machinery. 


Reports  and  expressions  from  the  St  Louis  houses  that  are  en- 
gaged in  the  manufacture  or  Jobbing  of  vehicles  and  agricultural  im- 
plements, indicate  that  the  year  now  closing  has  been  generally  satis- 
factory from  a  business  viewpoint  While  other  years  have  unques- 
tionably surpassed  1903  in  the  volume  of  goods  distributed  and  the 
net  financial  results  gained,  transactions  during  the  present  year  have 
reached  a  very  gratifying  total,  showing  that  the  prosperity  of  the 
farming  interests  in  the  territory  tributary  to  St  Louis  still  rest  upon 
a  solid  and  progressive  basis,  despite  some  untoward  oonditiona  that 
arose  at  intervals.  Among  these  drawbacks  were  the  disastrous  fioods 
last  spring  in  the  Mississippi  river  and  its  upper  connections  and  the 
boll  weevil  that  appeared  in  the  southern  cotton  fields.    The  first  of 


THE  CITY  OP  ST.  LOUIS.  61 

m 
these  factors  threatened  a  serious  curtailment  of  the  wheat,  corn  and 
forage  crops,  but  though  it  did  afCect  the  production  to  some  extent, 
fftirly  good  yields  were  finally  obtained.  These  crops,  as  harvested  In 
Missouri,  afford  a  good  indication  of  the  results  in  other  sections  where 
St  Louis  implement  and  vehicle  houses  do  business. 

It  is  evident,  therefore,  that  agricultural  operations  this  year  were 
on  a  sufticiently  large  scale  to  induce  a  considerable  movement  of  im- 
plements and  vehicles  into  channels  of  consumption.  The  first  part 
of  the  year  was  rather  sluggish  as  regards  the  sale  of  vehicles,  but 
later  on  the  demand  increased  continuously,  and  the  losses  of  trade 
sustained  in  the  earlier  months  were  made  up  and  equalized;  but, 
while  the  outcome  was  satisfactory,  the  aggregate  of  transactions  did 
not  reach  the  volume  of  1902.  On  the  other  hand,  there  was  an  un- 
usually heavy  inquiry  for  farm  wagons  and  their  distribution  was 
probably  equal  in  extent  to  the  business  done  in  the  banner  year  of 
1900. 

Relative  to  agricultural  implements,  most  of  the  St.  Louis  Jobbers 
experienced  a  fair  demand  for  such  goods  as  are  used  in  preparing 
and  marketing  the  crops,  such  as  threshing  machinery,  com  buskers, 
com  shellers  and  cotton  gin  accessories,  but  the  harvester  trade  suf- 
fered considerable  depression.  Implements  for  preparing  the  soil  for 
seeding,  as  plows  and  harrows,  were  in  comparatively  reduced  request, 
though  the  sales  made  a  handsome  total,  and  in  the  line  of  grain 
drills  and  binder  twine  the  conditions  were  not  wholly  satisfactory  or 
conducive  to  active  trade,  owing  to  a  partial  failure  of  the  wheat  crop 
in  certain  localities  of  this  territory. 

During  the  year  the  prices  of  iron  and  steel  suftered  a  sharp 
decline,  but  this  had  no  influence  on  quotations  for  agricultural  im- 
plements and  vehicles  sold  in  1903,  for  the  reason  that  the  metal  used 
in  their  construction  was  purchased  at  the  high  figures  prevailing  in 
1902.  Moreover,  for  some  time  past,  the  market  has  shown  evidence 
of  returning  strength  and  an  advance  was  actually  made  this  month 
in  the  price  of  pig  iron,  which  gives  color  to  current  predictions  that 
prices  will  soon  resume  a  normal  state.  In  view  of  this  tACt,  manu- 
facturers and  Jobbers  are  inclined  to  uphold  rigidly  their  regular  price 
lists,  and  it  may  be  said  that  no  cause  exists  for  believing  that  sellers 
have  fallen  into  a  habit  of  cutting  their  established  rates  or  of  offering 
undue  inducements  in  order  to  obtain  business. 

The  approach  of  the  Christmas  holidays,  as  usual,  had  the  effect 
of  bringing  a  lull  in  the  demand  for  implements,  vehicles  and  accessory 
merchandise,  but  the  outlook  is  promising  and  a  feeling  of  confidence 
pervades  the  entire  trade  that  the  coming  year  will  be  exceptionally 
active  and  prosperous. 


62  TRADE  AND  OOMMEROB  OF 

THE  ELECTRICAL  INDUSTRIES  OP  ST.  LOUIS. 

By  Wk.  H.  Bbtam,  Mechanical  and  Electrical  Engineer. 


St  LoulB  has  long  been  headfinarters  for  tVe  mannftectoring  and 
dlBtiibatlon  of  electrical  apparatus  and  supplies.  The  territory  triba- 
tary  to  St  Louis  is  the  entire  Southwest,  as  well  as  many  of  the 
southeastern  States,  and  Mezloo.  In  manufacturing  this  dty  has  at- 
tained special  eminence  in  alternating  motors,  Incandescent  lamps, 
fans  and  fan  motors,  and  transformers.  Many  of  the  most  Important 
plants  in  the  country  and  abroad  hare  been  equipped  with  St  Louis 
apparatus,  which  is  shipped  orer  the  entire  globe.  The  output  in 
these  lines  for  the  past  year  is  approximately  11,750,000. 

St  Louis  is  also  an  important  distributing  point  for  large  manu- 
facturing plants  located  elsewhere,  many  of  which  maintain  local 
branch  houses  and  carry  large  stocks.  The  sales  of  electrical  appar^ 
atus  from  these  St  Louis  offices,  such  as  generators,  motors,  switcdi* 
boards,  etc,  during  the  year  1903  will  approximate  13,000,000. 

There  are  also  a  number  of  large  supply  houses  distributing 
dynamos,  motors,  lamps,  wire,  switches,  and  eyery  variety  of  material 
for  electric  lighting,  railways,  telegraph  and  teleidione  systems.  These 
houses  carry  large  stocks,  and  cover  a  very  extenslTe  territory  in  the 
Southwest  They  hare  done  a  business  of  approximately  $3,000,000 
during  the  past  year. 

An  important  local  industry  is  that  of  electrical  construction,  cov- 
ering the  installation  of  electric  systems  for  light,  power,  telephone 
and  telegraph.  St  Louis  contractors  operate  not  only  at  homet  but 
throughout  the  entire  territory  tributary  to  St  Louis.  The  business 
done  by  these  houses  during  the  past  year  is  In  the  neighborhood  d 
$750,000. 

The  building  of  electric  street  cars  Is  an  important  Industry  In 
St  Louis,  there  being  a  number  of  extensive  plants  carrying  on  this 
work,  on  an  elaborate  scale.  St.  Louis  is  perhaps  the  most  important 
center  of  the  street  car  building  industry  in  the  United  States.  The 
number  of  electric  cars  built  during  1908  was  about  2,400,  having  a 
value-— including  electrical  equipment— of  about  17,200,000.  These  cars 
were  distributed  throughout  the  United  States,  Canada  and  Mexioo, 
many  of  them  going  also  to  Germany,  Australia,  Cuba  and  the  British 
Islands. 


QROCERIBS. 

By  BOBMBT  E.  Leb,  Editor  Interstate  Grocer. 


The  modesty  that  is  shown  by  St  Louis  wholesale  grocery  interests 
ultra  conservatism— has  led  to  the  expression  of  some  doubt  as  to 
the  accuracy  of  the  estimate  that  was  made  here  last  year  of  the 
aggregate  grocery  sales  of  this  market  The  grand  total  of  grocery 


rrHB  OITT  OF  ST.  LOUIS.  63 

sales  for  the  year  was  put  for  1902  at  176,000,000.  This  Is  not  an  ex- 
cesslye  estimate  wlien  It  is  borne  In  mind  that  there  are  thirty-two 
wholesale  grocery  houses  in  this  market  and  that  each  is  doing  a  large 
business;  also  that  under  the  general  head  "groceries"  it  is  customary 
to  put  the  sales  of  wholesale  and  manufacturing  houses  in  kindred 
lines,  such  as  the  output  of  the  numerous  large  cofEee  roasting  houses, 
the  cheese  Jobbers,  the  grocers'  specialty  houses,  the  syrup  reflners* 
and  a  number  of  closely  allied  businesses. 

The  estimate  for  1902  will  serve  for  1903  by  the  addition  cl  about 
13,000,000  or  a  grand  total  of  178,000,000  for  the  whole  market  This 
is  considered  a  satisfactory  increase  by  all  the  wholesale  interests,  for 
the  reason  that  last  year  was  a  banner  year.  Sales  in  1902  were  of  the 
finer  classes  of  groceries,  which  show  a  better  profit  than  hog  and 
hominy.  The  same  condition  ruled  during  1903  and  to  make  the  ln« 
crease  here  noted  it  was  necessary  for  the  wholesale  grocery  interests 
of  St  Louis  to  do  strenuous  work. 

These  heavy  sales  of  groceries  from  St  Louis  are  In  the  face  of 
the  keenest  possible  competition,  a  competition  that  is  not  felt  in  any 
other  line  of  manufacture  or  jobbing..  This  competition  is  from  the 
large  number  of  Jobbing  houses  that  are  located  in  the  smaller  towns 
of  the  Mississippi  Valley.  Thus  we  find  well  equipped  wholesale  grocery 
houses  at  Joplin  and  Springfield  and  Carthage,  Mo.,  in  nearby  Illinois 
towns  as  Cairo,  and  through  Arkansas.  This  is  all  direct  St  Louis 
territory  and  to  maintain  their  prestige  there,  the  St  Louis  Jobbers 
are  obliged  to  keep  their  profits  down  to  the  minimum  and  St  Louis 
is  thus  made  the  lowest  priced  wholesale  grocery  market  in  the 
United  States. 

One  of  the  most  important  interests  of  this  city  is  in  the  immense 
colfee  roasting  plants  located  here.  St  Louis  is  becoming  rapidly  the 
coftee  market  of  the  coimtry,  next  to  New  York,  and  we  are  beginning 
to  run  even  that  port  of  entry  a  strong  race.  This  is  due  to  the  fact 
that  we  have  low  rates  of  freight  from  New  Orleans  and  that  we  are 
now  a  receiving  port  for  direct  shipments  from  the  plantations  of 
BrazlL  Train  loads  of  coftee  for  St  Louis  from  ship  at  New  Orleans 
are  ordinary  happenings  and  we  are  supplying  green  cofEee  to  jobbing 
points  as  well  as  shipping  out  the  roasted  product  in  immense  quan- 
tities. Shipments  of  private  brands  of  coftee  have  been  made  from 
St  Louis  to  Great  Britain  within  the  year. 

The  tendency  toward  the  consolidation  of  wholesale  grocery  houses 
that  was  the  feishion  here  for  several  years,  has  ceased,  iildicating  that 
the  present  number  of  wholesale  grocery  houses  here  is  about  the  right 
number  for  the  volume  of  trade  coming  to  the  market 

Bxcept  on  some  lines  of  canned  goods,  the  markets  have  not  be^i 
erratic  during  the  year  Just  closed.  A  shortage  of  com  pack  In  Maine 
and  in  New  York  State  reduced  the  total  pack  for  the  country  con- 
siderably, so  that  this  important  staple  ruled  high  in  price  through-

out  the  year.  Salmon,  was  another  item  in  the  canned  goods  line  that 
took  an  upward  turn  of  marked  proportion,  owing  to  short  pack. 
Canned  fruits  have  continued  firm  throughout  the  year  with  a  grad- 
ually Increasing  firmness  on  all  descriptions,  as  a  result  of  a  moderate 
pack  both  on  the  coast  and  in  the  Eastern  canning  districts.  St 
Louis  is  an  important  Jobbing  distributing  point  for  the  canned  pro- 
ducts of  California  and  for  the  dried  or  evaporated  fruits  of  the  same 
section.

An  increase  is  noted  in  the  receipts  at  this  point  of  sugar  in  hogs- 
heads. This  sugar  is  from  the  South,  for  which  we  are  an  important 
market  Home  canning  of  fruits,  it  is  claimed  by  experts,  was  not 
heavy  during  1903,  and  for  that  reason,  the  total  receipts  of  sugar 
in  all  packages  was  slightly  smaller  than  in  1902.  Another  reason  for 
a  diminution  in  receipts  is  the  fact  that  the  interior  jobbing  houses 
before  referred  to,  do  a  large  business  in  staples,  thus  i^lleving  the 
St  Louis  market  of  what  is  really  a  burden,  for  sugar  is  sold  at  a 
very  close  margin.  The  increased  shipments  of  sugar  in  various  pack- 
ages is  due  to  some  extent  to  the  carry  over  of  sugar  from  1902  by 
local  interests.

An  increase  of  over  100,000  bags  in  the  receipts  of  coftee  at  this 
point  and  a  corresponding  increase  of  100,000  packages  in  the  ship- 
ments, shown  by  the  table,  is  the  strongest  evidence  obtainable  of  the 
Immense  growth  of  St  Louis  as  a  primary  market  for  coffees.  We  are 
shipping  green  coftees  both  to  the  East  and  West  in  a  Jobbing  way 
and  we  also  cater  to  a  tremendous  demand  for  roasted  coftees  in  bulk 
and  in  private  brand  packages  through  the  natural  retail  territory

Receipts  of  molasses  at  St  Louis  according  to  the  table,  hare  In- 
creased In  a  most  satisfactory  manner  and  the  shipments  show  an< 
even  more  Important  Increase.  These  receipts  In  the  main  are  direct 
from  the  plantations.  One  of  the  Important  Industries  of  this  city  Is 
that  of  syrup  blending.  A  number  of  large  concerns  here  blend  and

ments of  goods  In  these  packages  are  not  noted  In  the  tables,  but

campaign  of  advertising  that  has  been  Inaugurated  by  the  Growers' 
Association  of  the  South.  Domestic  rice  Is  rapidly  displacing  the 
foreign  kind  In  local  consumption,  and  shipments  to  the  Phllllplnes

A  steady  growth  In  the  sales  of  tea  Is  shown  by  the  figures  of 
receipts.  This  Is  notable  from  the  fact  that  last  year,  the  tax  of  10 
cents  a  pound  had  Just  been  removed  and  buying  was  heavy,  and  In 


66  TRADE  AND  OOMMKRCS  OF 

a  speculative  way.  This  year  there  was  no  speculation.  Tea  prices 
have  been  about  normal  throughout  the  year  and  the  tendency  has 
been  toward  the  higher  grades,  the  stringent  inspection  at  receiving 
porta  by  the  Federal  government  preventing  the  importation  of  the 
very  poor  grades. 

GENERAL  LINES. 

One  of  the  most  marked  increases  in  receipts  at  this  point  was 
in  glucose.  This  was  due  to  the  heavy  use  of  this  product  by  the 
syrup  blenders  before  noted  and  the  steady  climb  in  the  manufacture 
of  confectionery  .that  is  making  St  Louis  the  leading  candy  market 
of  the  United  States. 

General  condltionSp  such  as  collections,  and  marked  prosperity 
in  the  St.  Louis  territory,  and  the  inherent  disposition  to  "hustle" 
among  St  Louis  grocery  Jobbing  houses,  warrants  the  belief  that 
1904  will  be  the  banner  year  in  St  Louis  wholesale  grocery  circles.

FOREiON  COMMERCE  OF*ST.  LOUIS  IN  1903. 

By  Jamms  Abbucklx,  Manager  Lattn-Amerlcan  Club  and  Foreign  Trade  Aasn, 


The  advance  which  the  United  States  has  made  in  foreign  com- 
merce during  the  past  decade  has  been  something  remarkable.  The 
imports  and  exports  together  for  the  fiscal  year  of  1903  is  the  largest 
in  the  aggregate  yet  recorded.  The  imports  amount  to  $1,025,7 19,237| 
and  the  exports  to  $1,420,141,679,  or  a  total  of  $2,445,860,916.  The 
balance  in  our  favor  being  $394,422,442. 

The  value  of  the  agricultural  products  exported  was  $873,322,882, 
an  increase  of  $21,857,260. 

The- value  of  manufactured  exports  was  $407,526,159,  an  increase 
of  $3,884,758  over  1902. 

The  product  of  the  forest  was  $57,835,891,  an  increase  over  1902 
of  $9,647,285. 

These  figures  show  a  substantial  and  continued  growth  in  our  for- 
eign trade,  and  is  one  of  the  main  features  which  gives  us  our  re- 
markable and  continued  prosperity. 

LATIN-AMEBICAN  TBADE. 

The  trade  with  the  Latin-American  countries  is  one  which  is  of 
especial  interest  to  the  manufacturers  and  exporters  of  St  Louis.  Sit- 
uated on  the  Mississippi  River,  convenient  to  the  gulf  ports  where  lines 
of  steamers  connect  with  Mexico,  West  Indies  and  further  South,  this 
city  must  necessarily,  as  a  great  manufacturing  center,  be  a  mart  for 
the  sale  of  the  products  to  those  countries.  The  great  trunk  lines  of 
railroads  of  the  Southwest  converging  to  this  city  must  surely  give  us 
control  ultimately  to  a  large  extent  of  the  trade  with  Mexico. 

The  construction  of  the  Panama  Canal  and  its  comparative  near- 
ness to  the  gulf  ports  ought  to  place  us  in  an  advantageous  position 
with  the  Pacific  Coast  trade  of  both  North  and  South  America. 

Our  exports  to  Mexico  have  been  steadily  increasing  each  year,  and 
we  are  supplanting  to  a  large  extent  Mexico's  trade  with  European 
countries  pretty  much  in  all  lines. 

For  the  fiscal  year  1903  the  United  States  exports  to  that  country 
had  increased  largely  over  the  previous  year. 

The  following  statistics  show  our  trade  with  the  principal  coun- 
tries of  Latin-America  for  the  fiscal  year  of  1903: 

Exports  to  Imports  from 

Mexico $42,227,786  $61,802,902 

Cuba 21,769,672  02,841,942 

Brazil 11,165,665  71,688,066 

Chili 8,763,222  7,166,889 

Central  America  States ....    6,026,489  9,060,096 

Argentine 1,186,840  4,794,000 

It  will  be  observed  that  we  import  from  these  various  countries 
much  more  than  we  export  to  them. 


THE  OITT  OV  ST.  LOUIS. 

Mexico  ships  ns  principally  metals  and  Jeniquin.- 

Cuba,  sugar  and  tobacco. 

Brazil,  coffee. 

Chili,  nitrate  of  soda. 

Central  America  States,  coffee,  frnit  and  hides. 

Argentine,  hides,  etc. 

The  share  of  St  Louis  in  this  trade  is  mostly  with  Mexico  and 
Cuba.  With  Mexico  we  have  a  regularly  increasing  trade  in  hardware, 
shoes,  hats  and  general  lines  of  goods.  The  trade  has  been  generally 
profitable  and  has  increased  much  within  the  past  few  years. 

In  years  of  crop  failures  St  Louis  has  shipped  heavily  of  grain  to 
various  parts  of  the  Republic. 

Our  trade  with  Cuba  is  mostly  in  flour,  com  and  provisions.  The 
shipment  of  flour  is  very  extensive  to  all  parts  of  the  island.  We  also 
sell  them  considerable  hardware  and  some  shoes. 

St  Louis  manufacturers  are  seeking  market  in  all  parts  of  the 
world.

• 

At  the  close  of  the  fiscal  year  ending  April  7th,  1902,  the  bonded 
debt,  including  five  million  dollars  of  3.25  per  cent  twenty-year  gold 
bonds  issued  in  aid  of  the  St.  Louis  World's  Fair  celebrating  the  Louis- 
iana Purchase  Centennial,  was  |23,916,278.30.  In  January,  1903,  the 
city  purchased  and  cancelled  |180,000.00  of  World's  Fair  bonds,  reduc- 
ing the  bonded  debt  at  the  close  of  the  fiscal  year  ending  April  13th, 
1903,  to  $23,736,278.30.  The  annual  interest  charges  on  the  entire 
bonded  debt  during  the  year  Just  closed  amounted  to*  |939,649.17,  an 
average  rate  of  3.95  per  cent. 

SINKING   FUND. 

At  the  close  of  the  fiscal  year  ending  April  7th,  1902,  the  balance 
in  the  sinking  fund  established  under  the  provisions  of  the  charter 
for  the  redemption  and  purchase  of  bonds  outstanding  on  the  seventh 
day  of  April,  1890,  was  $653,868.86.  To  this  should  be  added  the  sum 
of  $421,590.72  set  apart  for  sinking  fund  purposes  for  the  year  Just 
closed,  making  a  balance  to  the  credit  of  sinking  fund  account,  April 
13th,  1903,  of  $1,075,456.57. 

During  the  fiscal  year  there  was  purchased  out  of  the  $181,- 
000.00  set  apart  for  sinking  fund  purposes  for  the  purchase  and  re- 
demption of  World's  Fair  bonds,  $180,000.00  of  bonds,  at  ninety-eight 
and  accrued  interest,  or  $176,400.00,  which  left  a  balance  at  the  close 
of  the  fiscal  year  of  $4,600.00  to  the  credit  of  the  sinking  fund  provided 
for  the  redemption  and  purchase  of  World's  Fair  bonds. 

TAXATION. 

The  assessed  valuation  of  real  and  personal  property  for  the  taxes 
of  1903  is  $415,530,210.00,  of  which  $337,323,410.00  is  assessed  as  the 
valuation  of  real  estate  and  $78,206,800.00  as  the  value  of  personal 
property. 

The  State  Board  of  Equalization  assessed  the  value  of  railroad, 
bridge,  telegraph,  express  and  street  railroad  property  for  the  year 
1902  at  $28,019,385.00.  There  is  no  doubt  that  the  assessment  for  taxes 
of  1903  will  exceed  the  previous  assessment  by  at  least  two  million 
of  dollars.

MINING  INDUSTRIES  OF  MISSOURI. 


By  J.  W.  MAB8TBLLKB,  Secretary  Bareau  of  Mines,  Bilnlng 

and  Mining  Inspection. 


Sufficient  data  is  at  hand  to  furnish  a  very  close  estimate  of  the 
output,  prices  received  for  same,  and  the  value  of  our  mine  products 
for  the  year  1903,  which  is  as  follows: 

Zinc  ores  mined,  212,267  tons  at  $84.00  per  ton $  7,210,788 

Lead  ores  mined  142,M7  tons  at  49.12  per  ton 7,002,988 

Coal   mined,  4,000,000  tons  at     1.46  per  ton 8,716,000 

Total $20,936,674 

Total  production  1902 17,696,806 

Increase  for  the  year $  8,238,866 

This  increase  of  18.30  per  cent,  considering  the  volume  of  the  busi- 
ness, is  most  gratifying,  and  reflects  very  clearly  the  vigorous  and 
healthy  industrial  conditions  prevailing  in  our  State  during  the  past 
year. 

ZINC   OBES. 

Our  output  of  zinc  ore  so  far  as  tonnage  Is  concerned  shows  a  fall- 
ing off  compared  with  1902;  the  value  of  the  product,  however,  shows 
an  Increase  of  13  per  cent  The  highest  prices  reached  in  the  first 
quarter  for  the  best  grade  of  ore  ranged  between  $33  and  $40.50  per 
ton;  for  the  second  quarter,  between  $40  and  $42.50;  the  third  quarter, 
from  $40  to  $41,  and  the  last  quarter,  from  $33  to  $39  per  ton.  The 
above  prices  are  for  best  ores  assaying  between  64  and  65  per  cent, 
based  upon  the  60  per  cent  assay  basis.  If,  for  instance,  one  bin  of 
ore  assays  60  per  cent  and  $36  per  ton  is  paid  for  it,  and  another  bin 
assaying  64  per  cent,  $40  would  be  its  value.  The  average  price  which 
was  received  last  year  for  all  grades  of  zinc  ores,  including  the  sili- 
cates, was  $34  per  ton.  This  is  $1.07  better  than  the  average  for  any 
year  in  our  mining  history,  and  when  compared  with  $24.58  per  ton, 
which  is  the  average  price  received  from  1873  to  the  beginning  of  1903, 
it  would  appear  to  be  a  very  good  price  and  should  be  satisfactory. 

In  Southwest  Missouri,  where  the  great  bulk  of  our  zinc  ores  are 
produced,  conditions  have  prevailed  that  seriously  Interfered  with 
steady  and  active  operations  and  of  necessity  cut  short  the  output. 
The  first  and  most  important  of  which  during  the  early  part  of  the 
year  was  the  shortage  of  cars,  many  thousands  of  pounds  of  ore  being 


THl  OITT  OF  ST.  LOUIS.  75 

shipped  in  open  cattle  and  coal  cars.  Fuel  with  which  to  make  steam 
was  difficult  to  secure,  coal  never  being  so  scarce  before  in  that  sec- 
tion; then  to  add  to  the  troubles,  blasting  powder  was  far  short  of  the 
demand.  Then  again  the  operators  upon  the  slightest  indication  of 
a  decline  in  the  price  of  the  ore  caused  a  curtailment  in  the  produc- 
tion. As  a  result,  prices  have  been  well  maintained,  but  the  output 
has  not  been  so  great.  Still,  it  looks  like  the  operators  were  ahead  as 
they  mined  50,000,000  pounds  more  of  zinc  in  1902  than  they  did  this 
last  year  and  received  $86,000  less  for  it  than  they  did  for  this  year's 
product 

The  zinc  industry  for  the  current  year  is  one  of  great  promise, 
and  bids  fair  to  excel  all  previous  experience,  barring  national  troubles 
in  a  business  way. 

LEAD  ORES. 

With  lead  ores  we  find  the  mining  situation  exactly  reversed  from 
that  of  zinc  ores.  Southeast  Missouri  produced  three-fourths  of  lead 
ore  output  of  the  State,  while  Southwest  Missouri  produced  a  still 
greater  percentage  of  the  zinc  ores.  Out  of  a  total  of  142,547  tons  of 
lead  produced  during  the  past  year.  Southeast  Missouri  is  credited  with 
115,767  tons  at  |48  per  ton,  making  its  value  $5,556,816.  The  south- 
west produced  26,780  tons,  at  $54  per  ton,  equal  to  $1,446,120.  The 
total  for  the  State  amounted  to  $7,002,936,  or  an  increase  over  1902  of 
$1,635,871.  It  will  be  noticed  that  there  is  a  (fifterence  between  the 
lead  ore  price  of  Southeast  Missouri,  which  is  given  at  $48  per  ton  and 
the  lead  ore  of  the  Southwest,  which  actually  sold  for  $54  per  ton. 
The  explanation  is  furnished  that  the  Southwest  lead  is  the  purest; 
one  thing,  however,  of  which  we  are  convinced  is  that  prices  furnished 
for  Southwest  lead  ore  is  based  upon  actual  sales,  while  the  Southeast 
Missouri  lead  ore  prices  are  simple  estimates.  The  prices  which  were 
received  this  last  year  for  the  product  show  a  very  decided  advance, 
being  at  least  $7.00  per  ton  more  than  was  realized  last  year.  The 
possibilities  for  our  lead  industry  for  the  current  year  are  equally  as 
promising  as  that  for  zinc  ores.  New  mines  and  extensive  plants 
have  been  added  during  the  last  year,  and  with  a  good  market  still 
further  increase  of  our  lead  ore  product  may  be  expected. 

MISSOUBI  COAL. 

The  coal  trade  of  the  State  for  1903  marks  the  period  of  its  great- 
est production,  and  for  the  best  average  price  received  for  the  same 
as  well.  The  output  of  4,600,000  tons  is  an  increase  of  536,428  tons 
over  1902.  This  output  was  sold  at  the  mines  at  an  average  of  $1.46 
per  ton  for  all  grades,  making  the  value  of  the  product  amount  to 
$6,716,000,  which  is  an  increase  over  1902  of  $1,390,168,  or  26.10  per 
cent.  The  year  1889  is  the  date  from  which  we  can  record  the  actual 
production  with  certainty;   in  that  year  we  outputted  2,223,477  tons.

There  wm  a  gradiud  tncreaae  from  that  time  until  Jnne  80, 1893,  when 
.the  output  wts  8,190,442  tons.  From  that  time  until  and  including 
1896  there  was  a  decline,  the  ouU^nt  amounting  to  only  2,283,081  tons. 
Since  then  there  has  been  a  steady  Increase,  the  output  for  the  year 
Just  closed  showing  that  in  eight  years  our  coal  production  has  more 
than  doubled  and  its  value  increased  $4,040,810,  or  161  per  cent 

Surrounded  by  coal  producing  States,  with  their  coal  fields  border- 
ing us  on  the  north,  south,  east  and  west,  our  market  is  altogether  a 
home  market,  with  the  best  and  largest  consumer  in  the  State  (St 
Louis)  lost  to  us  by  reason  of  its  nearness  to  the  coal  fields  of  Illinois. 
In  view  of  the  facts  mentioned,  what  better  eyldence  can  be  furnished 
of  our  industrial  growth  and  progress  than  that  our  home  market  has 
demanded  from  our  own  State  alone  coal  which  in  value  exceeds  the 
demand  of  eight  years  ago  by  four  million  and  forty  thousand  dollars? 

The  current  year  is  full  of  promise  of  better  things  still.  Numer- 
ous new  and  extensive  mines  have  been  opened  and  will  throw  their 
product  on  the  market  The  operators  are  receiving  better  prices  than 
ever  before,  while  the  miners  have  had  decided  advances  in  the  price 
paid  for  mining.  There  is  but  one  strike  that  can  be  dignified  by  a 
record  during  the  past  year,  and  with  a  scale  of  wages  agreed  upon 
between  the  operator  and  miners  which  runs  until  September  21,  1904, 
we  may  expect  a  continuance  of  that  harmony  and  good  feeling  between 
employer  and  employe  with  which  we  have  been  blessed  for  some  time. 

Our  mines  are  as  well  managed  and  as  well  equipped  as  the  mines 
of  any  State*  their  safety  and  sanitary  condition  are  unexcelled,  and 
their  most  perfect  inspection  is  refiected  by  the  small  number  of  acci- 
dents when  compared  with  other  States  in  the  Union. 

We  have  not  sufficient  data  at  present  to  give  a  correct  estimate 
of  the  nickel,  cobalt  copper,  iron,  baryta  and  tripoli  which  has  been 
mined  during  the  past  year  in  considerable  quantity.  Enough  we 
trust  has  been  furnished  to  show  the  very  flourishing  and  healthy  con- 
dition of  our  mining  industries.

RAILROAD  TRANSPORTATION. 


By  E.  8.  TONPKUiB,  CommtaBtoDer,  St.  Louis  Trafflc  Bareaa. 

Many  miles  of  new  railroad  have  been  constructed  In  the  Sontta- 
west  in  the  last  three  years.  These  Improvementa  called  tor  the 
investment  of  a  large  amount  of  money  and  this  has  resulted  tn  the 
opening  up  and  development  of  new  and  naturally  rich  sections  In 
Oklahoma  and  Indian  Terrltorr-  aa  well  as  in  adjoining  states. 

The  older  lines  hare  also  been  Improved  and  some  of  them 
practically  rebuilt,  but  with  all  the  Improvements,  the  rallraada  have 
not  been  able  to  haul  the  tonnage  offered  to  them,  although  their 
equipment  has  been  materially  increased  with  locomotives  and  cars 
of  an  improved  and  heavy  type. 

This  section  [s  exceedingly  prosperous,  but  the  Indications  are 
that  the  construction  of  new  mileage  in  the  coming  year  will  be 
much  less  than  in  1903,  due  principally  to  the  decline  In  the  price  of 
railroad  stocks  and  the  increase  in  the  cost  of  labor  and  supplies. 

The  Hhuttlng  down  of  constructloa  for  one  year  will,  no  doubt, 
bring  about  pronounced  reductions  In  the  cost  of  labor  and  supplies, 
and  then  there  Is  every  reason  to  believe  that  the  large  returns  to 
be  secureQ  through  investments  in  new  lines,  coupled  with  the  bright 
outlook  for  continued  prosperity,  will  result  in  the  resumption  of 
railroad  construction  In  this  section. 

The  vigorous  policy  pursued  by  the  railroads  In  developing  the 
varied  resources  of  the  Southwest,  has   resulted   in  larger  returns 


92  TRADE  AND  0OMM8RCE  OF 

than  they  anticipated  and  as  a  result  the  railroads  have  not  kept  pace 
with  the  Increase  In  the  commerce  of  this  section  and  farther  expend- 
itures must  necessarily  be  made  to  enable  them  to  reap  the  full  re- 
turns from  their  investments  In  the  Southwest  and  surrounding  ter- 
ritory. 

Their  efforts  have  also  resulted  in  a  large  increase  in  emigration 
from  other  sections,  which  has  brought  the  matter  prominently  before 
the  Southeastern  lines  and  they  are  now  taking  steps  to  advertise  the 
advantages  of  the  Southeast,  and  expect  to  secure,  by  concerted 
effort,  the  same  results  that  have  been  achieved  in  the  Southwest 

These  conditions  have  brought  about  an  Increase  in  the  trade  and 
commerce  of  St  Louis  and  the  extent  of  this  growth  is  best  shown 
by  the  tonnage  of  our  railroads,  which  has  more  than  doubled  tn 
the  last  eight  years,  the  business  of  the  city  in  the  past  year  having 
been  only  limited  by  the  transportation  facilities,  which  will  no  doubt 
also  be  the  case  in  1904. 

There  were  more  miles  of  railroad  constructed  the  last  year 
than  in  1902  and  out  of  over  5,000  miles  built  in  the  United  States 
in  1903,  over  2,000  miles  were  constructed  In  the  Southwest  The 
preliminary  report  shows  the  construction  in  this  territory  to  have 
been  as  follows: 

Arkansas    263  miles 

Indian  Territory   319  miles 

Louisiana   446  miles 

Missouri    250  miles 

Oklahoma  653  mileii 

Texas    371  miles 

Total,  2,302  miles 

These  new  lines  are  of  special  importance  to  this  city  as  they 
add  to  the  wealth  and  business  influence  of  St  Louis  and  open  up 
new  country  for  development,  which  is  practically  all  tributary  to 
this  market  Some  of  these  new  roads  are  of  special  importance  to  St 
Louis,  as  the  new  line  of  the  Frisco,  down  the  west  bank  of  the  Mis- 
sissippi River,  opening  a  new  route  to  Southeastern  Missouri,  Mem- 
phis and  the  Southeast. 

The  St  Louis,  Kans&s  City  &  Colorado  Road  is  now  completed 
to  Versailles,  Mo.,  176  miles,  and,  with  the  grade  finished  to  Kansas  City, 
on  which  track  is  being  rapidly  laid.  This  will  make  a  new  line  to 
Kansas  City  and  give  the  Rock  Island  a  direct  connection  with  their 
Kansas  and  Southwestern  System,  through  that  gateway. 

A  new  line  is  also  being  built  between  Old  Monroe  and  Mexico, 
Mo.,  which  will  be  used  Jointly  in  conection  with  their  roads  by  the 
Burlington  and  Chicago  &  Alton,  as  a  route  for  through  business 
between  St  Louis  and  Kansas  City,  which  will  make  their  mileage 
about  the  same  as  the  short  line  and  give  us  five  lines  of  about  equal 
length  between  the  two  cities. 


THE  CITY  OF  ST.  LOUIS.  93 

The  work  of  improylng  and  increasing  the  Terminal  facilities  in 
this  city  has  steadily  progressed  during  the  past  year,  one  of  the 
most  important  features  being  the  pushing  to  completion  of  the  inner 
and  outer  belt  lines  around  the  western  part  of  the  city,  which  will 
provide  for  the  interchange  of  through  freight  between  eastern  and 
western  roads,  without  handling  through  the  congested  I^ill  Creek 
Valley.  The  length  of  the  inner  belt  is  6  miles  and  of  the  outer  belt 
16  miles. 

The  Terminal's  outer  belt  in  E^st  St.  Louis  is  being  double-tracked 
and  many  of  the  railroad  yards  in  East  St.  Louis  have  been  improved 
and  increased  in  size. 

The  westside  lines  have  increased  the  capacity  of  their  yards  in 
the  northern,  southern  and  western  parts  of  the  city. 

The  Terminal  Association  have  made  many  improvements  in  the 
past  year  and  are  at  work  on  others,  among  which  are  the  new  inter- 
lock'ng  plant,  round  house,  machine  shop,  repair  yards  and  power 
house  on  the  eastside;  the  new  steel  approach  to  the  Merchants  Bridge 
on  the  west  side  and  a  new  steel  viaduct  to  connect  with  the  Belt  Lines. 
At  Union  Station,  a  reconstruction  of  the  entrance  tracks,  practically 
doubling  their  capacity;  the  new  power  house  and  interlocking  plant; 
a  sub-way  for  the  rapid  handling  of  baggage,  mail  and  express;  new 
depots  for  the  express  companies  and  the  extension  of  the  train  shed, 
180  feet,  which  will  then  cover  11  acres,  with  6  miles  of  track,  making 
it  the  largest  in  this  country,  if  not  in  the  world.

River  traffic  during  the  pftBt  pear  was  somewhat  less  than  the 
previous  year  in  the  amount  of  tonnage  handled,  but  fairly  satis- 
factory when  the  passenger  business  Is  considered.  No  atatlatlcs  are 
available  as  to  the  passenger  traffic  but  the  tonnage  of  the  past  three 
years  wae  as  follows.

There  was  a  good  stage  of  water  during  the  first  seven  months 
of  the  7ear,  eight  feet  being  the  lowest  reported  during  that  time. 
Durtng  the  balance  of  the  year  there  was  a  depth  of  7  to  lOH  feet 
until  the  close  of  November,  when  G  to  6  feet  was  reported. 

About  the  first  of  June  the  Mississippi  and  Missouri  Rivers  com- 
menced to  rise,  resulting  in  a  flood  that  In  extent  and  destructlveness 
had  not  been  equalled  for  many  years. 

The  rise  commenced  on  May  30th  In  the  Missouri  River  and  was 
most  destructive  at  Topeka,  Kas.,  and  Kansas  City,  Mo.,  and  Kansas 
City,  Kansas.  The  Mississippi  commenced  to  rise  about  the  same  date 
and  on  June  6th  the  danger  line  was  reached  at  St  Louis.  The  crest 
was  recorded  on  June  10th  between  S  and  8  P.  M.  at  38  feet  on  the 
St.  Louis  Qauge.    The  zero  of  gauge  being  the  low  water  mark  of  1863. 


102  TRADE  AKD  OOMIIBRCE  OF 

The  daily  river  stages  at  7  a.  m.  on  each  day  until  the  water  began 
to  recede  is  reported  by  the  Local  Forecaster  of  the  Weather  Burean 
as  follows: 

June  1... .87.8  June  4. ...81.1  June  7. ...86.2  June  10.... 87.9 
June  2. . .  .29.9  June  6. . .  .88J(  June  8. . .  .87.3  June  11  . .  .87.9 
June  8. . .  .81.2      June  6. . .  .84.7        June  9. . .  .87.4        June  12. . .  .87.7 

Much  damage  to  crops  and  property  resulted  from  the  flood,  but  it 
is  believed  no  lives  were  lost  in  the  immediate  vicinity  of  St  Louia. 

The  importance  of  the  deepening  of  the  channel  of  the  Mississippi 
River  from  St  Louis  to  (Sairo  to  nine  feet  at  all  seasons  of  the  year, 
except  when  obstructed  by  ice,  is  receiving  the  attention  of  the  Gov- 
ernment E^ngineers.  The  Board  of  Engineers  for  Rivers  and  Harbors 
has  submitted  to  Congress  through  the  Chief  of  Ehigineers  a  plan  for 
such  improvement  by  which  it  will  be  practicable  to  secure  a  channel 
8  feet  deep  and  200  feet  wide  between  St.  Louis  and  Cairo,  and  6  feet 
deep  from  St  Louis  to  the  mouth  of  the  Missouri.  When  this  is 
accomplished  there  will  be  an  impetus  given  to  river  traffic  which, 
it  is  believed,  will  restore,  in  part  at  least,  the  river  trade  of  ante- 
bellum days. 

The  attention  of  the  Rivers  and  Harbora  Committee  has  been 
called  to  the  necessity  of  continuing  the  improvement  of  the  river 
above  the  bridges  to  the  mouth  of  the  Missouri,  the  reason  being  that 
the  contraction  of  the  river  between  the  Bads  and  the  Merchants 
Bridges  and  the  establishment  of  the  harbor  line,  prevents  the  dis- 
charge  of  the  water  as  fast  as  it  comes  from  above,  the  consequence 
being  that  the  velocity  of  the  water  is  checked,  Uie  silt  carried  in  sus- 
pension drops  and  the  flood  line  is  raised  and  endangers  all  Industries 
on  the  bottom  lands  on  both  sides  of  the  river.  If  the  river  was  con- 
tracted to  the  mouth  of  the  Missouri,  so  as  to  increase  the  velocity  of 
the  current  navigation  would  be  improved  and  more  protection  given 
to  the  low  lands  on  both  sides.  It  is  hoped  that  an  appropriation  will 
be  made  for  this  needed  improvement 

In  an  exhaustive  report  on  river  commerce  made  November  Ist 
by  a  Joint  committee  of  the  Merchants  EiXchange  and  Business  Men's 
League,  to  John  F.  Crowell,  Internal  Commerce  Expert  of  the  Depart- 
ment of  Commerce  and  Labor,  for  submission  to  Congress,  the  follow- 
ing statement  is  made: 

"Cheap  transportation  is  the  growing  necessity  of  the  United 
States  and  the  cheapest  transportation  cannot  be  got  by  railways 
alone.  The  river  must  be  used  as  a  complimentary  freight  carrier, 
not  ony  to  equalize  rates  but  to  relieve  the  railways  of  the  coarser 
and  cheaper  freights,  in  order  that  they  may  give  better  service  to 
the  freight  that  must  be  quickly  transported. 

"With  an  improved  channel,  investors  of  capital  would  be  willing 
to  promote  steamer  and  barge  lines  on  the  Mississippi  River  and  its 


TBB  0IT7  OF  8T,  LOCIS.  103 

tributaries,  aa  they  could  then  estimate  the  earnings  of  their  floating 
pTopert7-  A  company  contemplating  the  operation  o(  barges  between 
New  Orleans  and  St.  Louis  could  make  a  close  estimate  on  the  num- 
ber of  down  stream  and  up  stream  trips  that  could  be  made,  which 
would  enable  them  to  Hgnre  on  the  earnings  o(  capital  so  invested. 
The  eamlngB  of  the  packets  could  also  be  determined  In  the  same  way. 
Nothing  discourages  investment  In  the  river  transportation  save  the 
imcertaln  channel,  upon  which  hlnderance  depend  all  the  other  reasons 
for  the  disinclination  of  capitalists  to  go  Into  the  business." 


MIMIMIPPI    RIVER   TOWBOKT   AND    BAnaEa. 

Through  business  to  New  Orleans  was  light,  the  barges  making 
but  22  tripe  and  carrying  1,724,220  bushels  wheat  and  1,025,221  bushels 
com  for  export 

Capt.  D.  M.  Connors,  Oeneral  Agent  of  the  Lee  Line  of  Steamers 
running  southward  to  Memphis,  gives  the  following  report  of  the  bust- 
uesB  of  that  line: 

"Our  business  between  St.  Louis  and  Memidils,  Including  Memphis, 
Tenn.,  from  March  IStb  to  December  6th,  1903,  has  been  very  satis- 
factory In  regard  to  tonnage.  The  high  water  In  March  and  then  again 
In  June,  which  destroyed  tbree-fourtbs  of  the  crops  in  our  territory, 
reduced  our  Inbound  tonnage  70  per  cent.  Otherwise  we  would  have 
bad  a  phenomenal  year  in  both  freight  and  passenger  traffic.  The 
Lee  Line  has   tonnage  sufficient  to-supply  all  demand  that  may  occur." 

Mr.  Isaac  P.  Luak,  Qen.  Freight  and  Passenger  Agent  of  the  Dia- 
mond Line,  gives  the  following  statement  of  the  traffic  of  Ute  upper 

"The  traffic  on  the  Upper  Mississippi,  both  passenger  and  freight, 
has  been  greater  this  past  year  than  for  a  number  of  years.    This 


KM  TBADB  AND  OOXMXBOB  Or 

is  accounted  for  solely  from  the  foct  that  there  was  a  better  etase  of 
water  during  the  entire  aeaaon  of  naylgation  of  190S,  than  there  had 
preyioualy  been  for  a  number  of  yean. 

'There  was  frequent  rains  and  no  drouth  in  the  Upper  Mississippi 
Valley,  conseQuently*  nature  proTided  a  good  navigable  riyer  during 
the  season  of  nayigation. 

*'With  the  rlYor  improTOd  so  that  there  would  be  a  certainty  of 
being  able  to  run  steamers  from  St  Louis  to  St  Paul  with  as  good  a 
stage  of  water  as  was  enjoyed  the  past  year,  there  would  be  a  wonder- 
ful revlyal  of  marine  interests  on  the  Upper  Mississippi;  but  capital 
is  certainly  not  going  to  invest  in  steamboats  with  the  probability  of 
their  having  to  lay  them  at  the  bank  one-half  of  the  season  of  naviga- 
tion, on  account  of  there  not  being  sufficient  water  for  them  to  navi- 
gate. 

"The  freight  traffic  of  the  Upper  Mississippi  would  have  been 
much  heavier  the  past  year,  if  the  owners  of  steamboat  property 
could  have  known  that  there  would  have  been  a  good  stage  of  water 
all  season,  for  then  they  could  have  made  contracts  to  carry  grain 
and  flour  shipments  for  future  delivery,  but  not  knowing  what  stage 
of  water  there  might  be  during  the  later  months  of  the  season,  and  as 
it  is  usual  to  look  for  low  water  during  the  later  imrt  of  the  summer 
and  fall  months,  contracts  could  not  be  made  or  rates  quoted  f6r  such 
traffic. 

"The  Diamond  Jo  Line  Steamers  have  added  one  new  steamer  to 
their  fleet,  the  'New  St  Paul.'  She  is  the  largest  and  most  complete 
side  wheel  passenger  steamer  ever  built  or  run  on  the  Mississippi 
River.  She  has  stateroom  accomodations  f6r  almost  400  flrst-class 
cabin  passengers.  She  was  flnished  so  late  in  the  season,  that  she 
was  able  to  make  only  one  trip,  St  Louis  to  St  Paul. 

"Owing  to  the  good  stages  of  water,  considerable  more  lumber  and 
logs  were  rafted  on  the  Upper  Mississippi  than  usual." 

Business  on  the  Tennessee  River  was  very  satisfactory,  as  will 
be  seen  by  the  following  report  of  Mr.  J.  B.  Massengale^  Secretary  oi 
the  Tennessee  River  Packet  Co.: 

"Barring  the  late  opening  of  navigation  this  Spring,  which  did 
not  occur  untU  about  the  10th  of  March,  on  account  of  ice  in  the 
Mississippi  River,  and  the  early  dosing  of  navigation  in  the  Tennessee 
River  on  account  of  low  water,  which  occurred  about  the  15th  of 
September,  both  being  very  unusual,  this  has  been  one  of  the  most 
successful  years  this  company  has  ever  enjoyed.  Our  boats  b^ng 
larger,  we  have  been  able  to  handle,  during  the  seven  months  of  actual 
operating  time,  about  as  much  as  we  would  during  ten  or  eleven 
months  in  years  past,  but  with  an  opening  about  the  middle  of  Feb- 
ruary, which  is  usual,  and  closing  the  middle  Gt  December,  making 
about  normal  conditions,  we  would  have  handled  considerable  more 


THE  OITT  or  ST.  LOITIS.  106 

business.  Our  shipments  of  dry  goods,  lK>ots,  shoes  and  groceries 
from  St  Louis  have  exceeded  any  year  in  the  past,  and  our  receipts  of 
lumber,  cotton  and  peanuts  from  Tennessee  Riyer  have  been  larger 
than  any  year  in  the  past,  particularly  so  the  cotton  and  peanuts. 
We  haye  handled  approximately  30,000  bales  of  cotton,  150,000  bags 
of  peanuts  and  8,000,000  ft  of  lumber. 

The  business  of  both  the  Illinois  and  Missouri  riyers  has  been 
fairly  satisfactory  and  up  to  the  ayerage.

124  TRADI  Ain>  OOKMIBOB  OF 

COTTON. 


The  Cotton  Crop  of  the  United  States  for  the  cotton  year  ending: 
AogUBt  3l8t  was  10,727»569  bales,  as  against  10,680,680  bales  and 
10,383,422  bales  for  the  two  preceding  years. 

The  amount  handled  locally  by  St.  Louis  tectors  was  62,647  stand- 
ard bales,  and  the  amount  shipped  direct  through  the  St  Louis  gate- 
way, a  portion  of  which  wfUB  for  account  of  St  Louis  dealers,  was 
679,971  bales,  making  the  total  gross  receipts  742,618  bales.  Only 
4770  small  round  bales  were  received.  The  average  weight  of  St  Louis 
receipts  was  610  pounds,  and  the  average  value  per  bale  $49.75.  Quo- 
tations for  middling  ranged  from  7%c  in  December  to  13  ^c  in  June 
and  July.    Stocks  at  the  close  of  August  were  1,265  bales. 

Mr.  Henry  G.  Hester,  Secretary  New  Orleans  Cotton  Elzchange,  In 
his  annual  report  makes  the  following  statement: 

While  the  crop  as  a  whole  brought  a  good  return,  notwithstanding 
the  high  prices  during  the  latter  part  of  the  season,  the  out  turn  has 
not  been  as  great  as  was  expected.  The  total  value  carefully  figured 
out  is  142,766,596  above  last  year,  but  it  is  less  than  year  before  last 
(when  the  crop  was  344,137  bales  under  this  year)  by  113,797,267. 

The  cause  will  be  made  apparent  when  It  is  stated  that  in  the  crop 
of  1900-01  September  averaged  10.3  cents  per  lb.,  and  that  from  October 
to  February  the  monthly  averages  ranged  from  9.69  cents  In  October  to 
9.21  cents  in  February,  or,  stated  In  bales,  from  162.47  In  September 
to  147.42  in  February. 

This  year  the  range  from  September  to  January  (average  monthly 
values)  was  7.83  cents  to  8.61  cents,  the  price  of  9  cents  not  being 
touched  until  February,  when  nearly  8,000,000  bales  of  the  crop  had 
been  marketed,  the  monthly  average  sales  of  which  were  from  |40  to 
a  little  over  |44  per  bale. 

Another  important  feature  that  afCected  values  more  or  less  was  the 
results  of  the  unusual  and  long  continued  rains,  which  reduced  the 
grade  of  the  Texas  crop  and  of  the  section  tributary  to  New  Orleans. 

Investigations  at  New  Orleans,  Galveston  and  Houston  show  an 
average  of  one-quarter  grade  under  last  season. 

Houston  says  "the  picking  in  Central  and  North  Texas  In  the  latter 
part  of  the  picking  season  was  of  such  a  character  that  the  oil  mills 
refused  to  buy  the  cotton  seed  and  that  south  of  Waco  produced  a 
lower  grade  crop  than  for  years." 

Savannah,  Charleston  and  Memphis  were  more  or  less  affected,  but 
not  to  as  great  an  extent,  the  average  reduction  in  grade  f6r  the  en- 
tire crop  having  been  from  a  sixteenth  to  an  eighth. 

A  fair  average  of  price  for  the  United  States  is  8.82  cents  per 
pound,  comparing  with  8.06  cents  last  year,  9.33  the  year  before  and 
7.66  for  1899-1900;  the  highest  price  touched  during  the  season  having 
been  13%  and  the  lowest  7%. 

The  average  commercial  value  per  bale  of  the  crop  is  144.62, 
against  |41.01  last  year,  |47.63  the  year  before  and  138.66  in  1899-1900.

138  TRADE  AND  OOMMIBOI  O* 


FLOUR. 


The  Flour  trade  of  the  year  1908  was  very  satisfactory,  both  as  to 
quantity  handled  and  the  results  of  the  business.  While  the  amount  manu- 
factured was  slightly  less  than  for  the  previous  year,  the  receipts  were 
greater,  making  the  amount  handled  nearly  the  same.  The  largest  supply 
was  via  the  Western  and  Northwestern  roads.  The  shipments  were 
equivalent  to  8,137,096  barrels,  of  which  J300,106  were  exported  via  the 
Atlantic  seaboard  and  676,786  via  the  Gulf  ports.  Next  to  England, 
Cuba  was  the  largest  purchaser,  taking  178,115  barrels,  while  46,124  went 
to  Porto  Bico,  and  18,149  to  Central  and  South  America.  For  home  con- 
sumption the  larger  portion,  as  usual,  went  to  the  South,  amounting  to 
1,789,688  barrels,  more  than  three  times  as  much  as  went  to  the  Eastward. 
Much  the  larger  portion  of  the  shipments  was  in  bags  of  various  sizes, 
but  the  movement  is  given  in  barrels  for  comparisons. 

Most  of  the  Flour  manufactured  after  harvest  was  from  hard  wheat, 
the  price  being  relatively  lower  than  soft,  enabling  the  millers  and  dealers 
to  better  compete  with  other  milling  points.  Hard  wheat  Flour  is  now 
competing  successfully  with  spring  wheat  brands,  and  while  not  equal  to 
the  soft  wheat  Flour,  for  which  St.  Louis  is  famous,  is  being  blended  with 
the  soft  Flour  and  accepted  by  the  trade,  for  the  time  being,  on  account  of 
the  lower  value. 

The  soft  red  winter  wheat  Flours  were  quoted  during  the  year  at  $3.85 
to  $4.40  per  barrel  for  patents,  $8.00  to  $4.00  for  extra  fancy,  and  $2.70  to 
$8.60  for  clears.  The  stock  held  in  store  during  the  year  ranged  from 
88,000  to  71,000  barrels,  being  at  the  close  52,240  barrels.

The  grain  tmsiness  of  St.  Louis  was  folrly  satisfttctory,  the  ag- 
gregate amount  handled  being  nearly  as  great  as  for  the  prerious 
year.  Receipts  were  curtailed  to  a  considerable  extent  during  June 
and  July  by  reason  of  the  flood  which  practically  suspended  rail 
transportation  for  the  time  being,  and  by  the  destruction  of  the 
wheat  crop  In  the  bottoms  below  the  city.  St  Louis  stands  third  in 
amount  of  grain  handled  at  primary  markets.

one.  St.  Louis  is  the  recognized  market  for  Red  Winter  wheat  A 
partial  failure  of  the  soft  wheat  crop  is  more  severely  felt  in  this 
than  in  every  other  market  Usually  the  receipts  are  heaviest  in  July

TRADE  AND  COMMERCE  OF 


MISSOURI  CROP  REVIEW,  1903. 


By  Obo.  B.  Ellis,  Secretary  State  Board  of  Agriculture. 


CORN. 


The  early  spring  was  very  iinfaTorable  for  planting  and  cultl- 
vating  the  com  crop,  and  on  account  of  the  very  large  crop  in  1902.  and 
too  much  rain,  but  little  fall  plowing  had  been  done,  which  put  the 
farmers  much  behind  with  their  spring  planting. 

For  the  preylous  flre  years,  an  average  of  92  per  cent  of  the  whole 
com  crop  for  the  State  was  planted  on  June  1st,  compared  with  only  82 
per  cent  of  the  crop  that  was  planted  on  the  same  date  this  year.  The 
excessive  rainfall  in  the  early  part  of  June,  overflowing  practically  all 
the  bottom  land  along  the  Mississippi  and  Missouri  rivers  and  tributa- 
ries, causing  all  the  bottom  com  to  be  planted  over,  reduced  the  acreage 
planted  on  June  1st  to  about  75  per  cent  of  the  whole  crop.  The 
August  crop  report  showed  that  61  per  cent  of  the  overflowed  com 
area  had  been  replanted,  making  the  final  estimated  acreage  for  this 
year  6,882,000  acres,  which  Is  811,000  acres  less  than  that  of  the  crop 
gathered  last  year.  More  detailed  information  is  given  In  the  follow- 
ing table  which  gives  a  comparison  of  this  year's  crop  with  the  crop 
of  1902.

WHEAT. 

The  wheat  acreage  sown  in  the  fall  of  1902  was  2,821,900  acres,  or 
about  11  per  cent  below  that  sown  the  previous  year.  The  condition 
of  the  plant  on  December  1st  was  96,  which  is  considerably  above  the 
average.    On  April  1st,  this  year,  the  condition  was  91,  which  is  seven

points  above  the  average  at  that  time  of  year  for  the  previous  five 
years,  and  was  practically  the  same  as  the  condition  of  the  excellent 
crops  of  1900,  1901  and  1902.  From  this  date  on  until  harvest  the  crop 
greatly  deteriorated,  which  was  caused  by  too  much  rain,  ravages  of 
Hessian  fly,  the  grain  plant  lice,  rust,  blight  and  overflow,  until  at 
harvest  it  was  estimated  that  12.5  per  cent  of  the  whole  crop  was  not 
harvested. 

The  acreage  sown  to  wheat  this  fall  is  about  six  per  cent  below 
the  acreage  sown  in  1902,  the  falling  ofE  caused  by  the  poor  quality  of 
last  year's  crop,  the  fear  of  damage  by  Hessian  fly  and  the  deficiency  of 
moisture  in  several  counties  during  October  and  November.  The  only 
section  iB  the  State  showing  an  increase  over  last  year  is  the  South- 
west, where  there  is  an  increased  acreage  of  five  per  cent.  The 
greatest  increase  is  shown  in  the  same  group  of  counties  that'  showed 
the  greatest  decrease  last  year,  viz:  Johnson,  Cass,  Henry,  Bates  and 
Vernon.  In  several  localities  in  the  eastern  and  southern  parts  of  the 
State  the  wheat  has  suffered  from  insufficient  rainfall.  A  number  bf 
correspondents  complain  of  poor  germination  on  this  account.  The 
general  average  condition  while  15  points  below  the  very  excellent  con- 
dition of  one  year  ago,  is  two  points  above  the  condition  on  same  date 
in  1901»  which  crop  produced  the  largest  yield  in  the  history  of  the 
State. 

Further  detailed  information  is  given  in  the  following  table:

IfiS  TRADE  AND  OOMMSBCE  OF 

OATS* 

Fdr  seyeral  yean  the  acreage  planted  in  oats  has  gradually  de- 
creased on  account  of  the  unfavorable  weather  in  the  spring,  and  a 
great  loss  from  rust  The  acreage  harvested  in  1903  was  estimated 
to  be  765,800,  which  produced  an  average  yield  of  23  bushels,  making  a 
total  production  of  17,388,400  bushels,  worth  on  the  farm  $5,216,020. 

HAY  AND  FORAGE. 

The  hay  crop  of  Missouri  is  second  <mly  in  importance  to  that  oi 
com.  The  estimated  acreage  for  1908  is  3,236,000,  which  produced  a 
total  production  of  6,176,000  tons,  valued  at  $33,644,000. 

FLAX. 

Most  of  the  flax  that  is  raised  in  Missouri  is  produced  in  the  west- 
em  part  of  the  State,  and  on  account  ot  unfavorable  weather  for  seed- 
ing in  the  spring  there  was  a  great  reduction  of  acreage  in  this  crop. 
It  is  estimated  that  there  was  sown  this  year  62,165  acres,  which  pro- 
duced 323,360  bushels,  valued  at  $284,660. 

POrATOBS. 

The  acreage  in  potatoes  is  estimated  at  87,340  acres,  which  was 
7  per  cent  below  the  acreage  of  the  previous  year.  On  this  acreage 
was  produced  7,248^20  bushels,  valued  at  $5»146,835. 

COTTON. 

The  acreage  in  cotton  was  estimated  at  66,600,  which  produced  an

203 


DRESSED  BEEF, 


By  Philip  H.  Hale,  Publisher  National  Farmer  and  Stock  Reporter. 


The  dressed  beef  output  from  St.  Louis  and  East  St.  Louis  in  the  year 
1903  was  about  fifty-five  million  pounds  greater  than  the  shipments  of  the 
previous  year.  One  new  packing  house  on  the  east  side  commenced 
oi>eratlons  at  the  opening  of  the  year  and  another  on  the  west  side,  is  the 
incident  of  the  closing  month  of  a  most  prosperous  year  from  a  home 
market  development  standpoint. 

The  cattle  slaughtered  by  the  dressed  beef  houses  in  the  year  1908 
amounted  to  739,879,  an  increase  of  56,062  head. 

The  calves  slaughtered  in  the  year  1903  amounted  to  125,786,  an  increase 
of  21,848  head.  The  significance  of  the  figures  is  explained  by  the  state- 
ment that  it  represents  a  fifty  percent  increase  in  four  yean.  It  also 
represents  three  times  the  business  of  ten  years  ago. 

The  dressed  beef  shipments  for  the  year  1908  amounted  to  378,340,225 
pounds,  the  largest  amount  on  i^cord;  and  added  to  this  must  be  considered 
the  greatly  enlarfl^ed  home  consumption  caused  by  the  steady  increase  in 
popmation  of  the  World's  Fair  City. 

A  consideralile  amount  of  dressed  beef  is  received  at  St.  Louis  annually, 
but  this  trade  does  not  appear  to  increase.  In  the  year  1903  dressed  beef 
received  from  other  market  centers  amounted  to  65,813,800  pounds  in  1901, 
the  receipts  were  110,707,200,  and  in  1894  the  arrivals  were  64,612,340 
pounds.    It  will  be  seen  that  the  shipments  to  St.  Louis  are  not  gaining. 

In  conclusion  it  is  proper  to  state  that  in  buying  cattle  on  the  hoof  and 
in  selling  the  meat  from  wholesalers  to  retailers,  there  is  at  St.  Louis  the 
largest  element  of  competition,  which  is  free,  open  and  above  board.  The 
local  trade  consists  of  five  laree  houses  and  ten  small  packers,  and  these 
are  in  competition  with  severalof  the  larfi^est  outside  packers,  all  competing 
as  buyers  of  live  cattle  in  the  stock  yards  and  as  sellers  of  dressed  beef  in 
the  city. 

The  following  statement  gives  the  cattle  and  calves  slaughtered  at 
St.  Louis  and  East  St.  Louis  by  dressed  beef  houses,  also  the  receipts  and 
shipments  of  dressed  beef :

PHE  CUTT  OF  ST.  £X>UIS.  213 


LIVE  STOCK. 


By  E.  8.  MolKTTBJB,  Assistant  Editor  of  the  Dally  National  Lire  Stock  Reporter. 


The  St  LottiB  live  stock  market  has  passed  another  highly  success- 
ful year.  Receipts  made  gains  In  every  department  The  cattle  record 
was  larger  than  ever  before,  the  arrlyals  amounting  to  1»209,121  head. 
Hogs  made  the  magnificent  gain  of  291,478  head,  sheep  a  gain  of  26,398 
head  and  horses  and  mules  a  gain  of  15,014  head.  The  total  of  all 
classes  of  live  stock  recelyed  was  the  greatest  In  the  history  of  the 
market,  being  8,698,641  head,  as  compared  with  3,339,163  In  1902. 

The  demand  for  all  classes  of  live  stock  on  the  St  Louis  market 
was  largely  Increased  during  1903.  The  actual  operation  of  a  new  plant 
was  begun  In  June  and  with  this  additional  packing  plant  working  to 
Its  full  capacity  the  local  outlet  was  Increased  26  per  cent 

This,  however,  was  only  one  source  of  the  Increase  In  capacity. 
Another  was  a  large  expansion  In  the  local  butcher  demand.  During 
the  year  new  hands  took  charge  of  several  St  Louis  slaughtering  estab- 
lishments and  have  Increased  their  business  considerably,  so  much  so 
that  they  are  more  forceful  factors  In  the  general  market  than  ever 
before.  All  along  the  line  the  local  butcher  demand,  which  Is  the  beet 
of  any  market  In  the  country,  has  shown  growth  and  Increase  In 
strength,  and  the  competition  which  It  has  given  large  local  houses  has 
been  the  means  of  bringing  much  stronger  prices  to  live  stock  ship- 
pers. Yet  another  feature  of  the  demand  which  has  shown  develop- 
ment Is  the  order  demand  from  other  sources,  particularly  In  the  cat- 
the  department.  Many  new  order  buyers  have  been  added  to  the  former 
force  during  the  year,  and  the  scope  of  this  demand  Is  greater  and 
wider  than  ever  before.  The  market  has  experienced  a  most  remark- 
able growth  of  facilities  in  the  last  two  years  and  the  future  outlook  Is 
very  bright. 

NATIVE  CATTLE. 

The  native  cattle  trade  at  St  Louis  during  1908  was  a  most  re- 
markable one  from  many  standpoints,  but  especially  for  the  Aumber 
received,  the  receipts  showing  an  increase  of  nearly  160,000  head,  of 
which  increase  the  grand  old  State  of  Missouri  furnished  110,000  head. 
The  total  receipts  from  Missouri  amounting  to  about  826,000. 

The  year  was  also  remarkable  for  the  heavy  losses  which  values 
sustained  by  comparison  with  the  year  prior,  and  it  will  go  on  record 


314  TBABB  AKP  OOMMSBOB  OF 

as  having  been  a  most  extraordinary  one  in  this  regard.  It  was  an  nor 
proiltable  if  not  a  disastrous  year  for  cattle  feeders,  for  by  the  sudden- 
ness of  the  declines  and  the  pressure  brought  to  bear  upon  them  by 
banks,  a  great  many  were  forced  to  market  their  cattle  before  they 
w«re  ripe.  The  average  loss  in  prices  during  the  year  is  estimated  at 
$2.00  to  $8.00  per  cwt,  compared  with  1902,  but  still  on  a  high  basis 
compared  with  competing  markets.  The  trade  in  stocker  and  feeding 
cattle  was  naturally  affected  by  the  depression  in  the  general  market 
and  the  accompanying  lack  of  confidence  in  the  future.  This  branch 
of  the  business,  however,  is  gaining  prestige  steadily  as  is  attested 
by  the  increased  number  of  traders  doing  business  on  the  market  and 
in  the  wider  territory  from  which  the  market  Is  drawing  its  support 
One  new  development  during  the  year  which  will  have  a  beneficial 
effect  on  the  market  In  the  future,  was  the  establishment  of  a  cotton- 
seed oil  mill  adjacent  to  the  market  with  facilities  for  feeding  at  least 
a  thousand  head  at  all  times. 

SOUTHERN  CATTLE. 

No  records  were  broken  in  Southern  receipts,  although  on  several 
occasions  they  were  dangerously  near  the  high  points.  The  largest 
month  was  September,  when  the  receipts  amounted  to  97,669  head. 
The  largest  week's  receipts  was  27,785  head,  and  the  largest  one  day's 
total  was  10,385  head  on  August  17th.  Althou^  the  year  showed  a  de- 
crease in  Southern  cattle  receipts,  other  principal  centers  likewise 
showed  decreases  in  this  department,  and  St  Louis  still  manifested  her 
supremacy  as  a  quarantine  cattle  market.  The  three  principal  markets 
combined  received  a  total  of  close  to  40,000  cars.  Of  the  total  St.  Louis 
received  over  23,000  cars,  or  nearly  60  per  cent 

Prices  of  quarantine  cattle  ruled  lower  during  the  year  In  unison 
with  the  decline  on  native  cattle.  Compared  with  the  opening  of  the 
year  the  market  closed  the  year  with  values  about  60c  per  cwt  lower, 
while  as  contrasted  with  the  highest  period,  which  was  during  the 
spring  and  early  summer  months,  the  loss  amounted  to  between  75c 
and  $1.00.  Compared  with  the  extreme  high  time  during  1902,  when 
straight  corn-fed  Texas  cattle  brought  $8.00  and  the  bulk  of  sales  of 
fed  Texans  were  ranging  around  $6.00@7.00,  there  is  a  loss  of  $2.00@ 
3.00  per  cwt. 

HOQS. 

Like  other  branches  of  the  trade,  the  receipts  of  hogs  during  the 
year  1903  show  an  increase  over  1902,  the  total  number  received  being 
291,478  more  than  the  preceding  year,  but  less  than  any  other  year 
since  1895,  showing  that  while  the  territory  tributary  to  this  market 
is  recovering  from  the  drought  of  1901,  farmers  and  stock  raisers  have 
not  yet  been  able  to  get  fully  restocked  and  produce  as  many  hogs  as 
prior  to  that  time. 


THE  OITT  or  ST.  LOUIS.  215 

Tbe  market  at  all  times  throughout  the  year  has  been  In  a  good, 
healthy,  actiye  condition,  and  ayerage  prices  realised  by  the  shippers 
were  much  higher  than  those  paid  at  competing  points  for  all  classes, 
but  especially  for  good,  nice,  smooth,  solid  corn-fed  butcher  grades,  it 
being  a  well-established  fact  that  at  this  market  there  are  more  inde- 
pendent city  butchers  than  at  any  other  Western  market,  making  the 
competition  for  his  class  much  keener  than  elsewhere.  The  general 
demand  has  grown  recently,  and  is  now  much  larger  than  ever  before. 
The  local  packing  houses,  which  have  been  in  operation  in  former 
years,  wanted  more  hogs  than  ever,  and  the  opening  of  the  new  plant 
increased  the  demand  at  least  20  per  cent.  Bastem  order  buyers  also 
operated  freely,  and  seldom  got  more  than  half  as  many  as  were  needed 
to  fill  their  demand. 

The  year  opened  with  the  best  hogs  selling  from  |6.76@7.00,  and 
prices  gradually  advanced  until  $7.76  was  reached,  during  the  last  week 
in  March,  when  a  reaction  set  in;  and  before  the  middle  of  May  the 
market  was  again  down  to  about  the  same  basis  as  at  the  beginning 
of  the  year.  The  decline  could  not  be  checked,  and  values  continued 
downward  each  week  until,  by  the  middle  of  August,  the  best  hogs  were 
selling  less  than  $6.00  per  hundred  pounds.  At  this  time  a  stronger 
tendency  developed,  and  an  advance  of  about  25c  was  had  during  Sei>- 
tember,  which,  however,  was  quickly  lost,  and  the  market  gradually 
declined  throughout  the  rest  of  the  year,  the  top  frequently  being  less 
than  14.60,  leaving  the  prices  at  the  end  of  the  year  around  |2.60  per 
cwt.  lower  than  at  the  opening,  but  still  on  a  high  basis  compared  with 
other  markets. 

To  keep  pace  with  the  growing  demand  the  receipts  will  have  to 
increase  rapidly  during  the  coming  year,  and  it  is  hoped  and  expected 
that  before  the  close  of  1904  the  St.  Louis  market  will  have  received 
more  than  2,600,000  hogs. 

SHEEP. 

The  year  1903  was  a  notable  one  in  the  sheep  department,  receipts, 
as  in  all  branches  of  the  trade,  showing  an  increase  over  1902.  Not 
only  were  the  arrivals  larger  than  the  preceding  year,  but  the  largest 
since  the  market  was  established  with  the  exception  of  two  years  1896, 
when  632,872  head  were  received,  and  in  1897,  when  the  arrivals  amount- 
ed to  660,380,  the  high  record  for  this  market 

Although  the  receipts  for  the  year  Just  closed  show  an  increase 
over  recent  years,  this  increase  has  not  been  anywhere  near  in  keeping 
with  the  demand.  Not  only  have  city  butchers  and  local  packers 
wanted  increased  supplies  over  former  years,  but  the  opening  of  a  new 
mammoth  plant  has  increased  the  demand  fully  one-fourth,  and  this 
fact  has  caused  values  during  the  past  six  months  to  be  a  much  stronger 
basis  for  all  good  lambs  and  mutton  sheep  compared  with  other  Western 
markets.    One  striking  evidence  of  this  was  that  slaughterers  were 


216  TRADE  AMD  OOMMSBCE  OF 

frequently  compelled  to  make  purchases  at  other  points  and  ship  them 
in  to  fill  urgent  orders.  Outside  slaughterers,  though  they  tried  time 
and  again  to  make  purchases,  were  unable  to  do  so  on  account  of  the 
strong  competition  existing  among  local  buyers,  and  it  has  long  age 
been  a  thing  of  the  past  for  sellers  to  be  dissatisfied  with  prices  of- 
fered and  forward  their  sheep  elsewhere  to  be  sold. 

The  stocker  and  feeder  trade  has  also  been  in  a  flourishing  condi- 
tion so  far  as  was  possible  with  the  small  number  received.  At  all 
times  buyers  have  been  on  hand  who  absorbed  all  good,  young;  thin 
sheep  to  take  to  the  country,  and  they  would  have  purchased  five  or 
six  times  as  many  more  had  they  been  available. 

The  future  prospects  are  brighter  for  this  branch  of  the  trade  than 
ever  before,  and  with  the  receipts  properly  distributed  1,000,000  she^ 
can  be  handled  easily  and  to  the  advantage  of  all  concerned.  In  fact, 
this  number  will  be  absolutely  needed  to  meet  the  enlarged  demand 
which  has  been  occasioned  by  expanded  facilities  and  the  growing  pop- 
ularity of  the  market. 

HORSES  AND  MULES. 

The  year  1903  was  truly  a  satisfactory  one  in  the  horse  trade.  It 
was  not  only  satisfactory  but  remarkable  by  reason  of  the  fact  that  the 
receipta  were  larger.  The  showing  is  all  the  more  remarkable  when 
other  markets  showed  decreases.  The  gain  therefore  can  only  be  attrib- 
uted to  the  increasing  popularity  of  the  market 

So  far  as  prices  during  the  year  were  concerned,  they  were  on  a 
higher  basis.  First  during  the  combined  season  of  Southern  and  ESast- 
em  demand  it  was  on  both  classes.  Later,  when  the  Southern  trade 
subsided  the  values  on  Southern  horses  remained  stationary,  while  val- 
ues on  big  horses  kept  advancing.  The  spring  and  summer  market  wit- 
nessed the  highest  prices  which  have  been  paid  for  drafters  and  chunks 
In  a  period  of  twelve  years. 

'  Along  toward  the  middle  of  September  the  Extern  trade  began  to 
weaken,  and  by  the  first  of  October  a  big  decline  had  taken  place  on 
heavy  horses.  This  loss  amounted  to  from  $20®  30  per  head,  and  con- 
tinued in  force  to  the  close  of  the  year. 

The  trade  in  mules  was  also  very  satisfactory,  though  there  was  n» 
special  demand,  such  as  prevailed  for  war  mules  in  recent  years.  The 
cotton  mule  demand  was  heavy  during  the  early  months*  and  during 
the  summer  months  the  Eastern  demand  was  good.  Values  on  mules 
were  exceptionally  high,  for  the  firm  position  of  the  market  was  main- 
tained at  all  seasons,  and  the  gradual  upward  inclination  brought  about 
an  advance  over  last  year  of  $5  to  $10  per  head.  The  year  closed  with 
cotton  mules  selling  higher  than  ever  before  on  this  market,  for  not- 
withstanding the  high  prices  they  had  previously  brought  the  excite- 
ment in  the  cotton  market  and  the  high  prices  prevailing  for  that  sti^ile 
stimulated  the  demand  so  that  the  high  range  of  prices  of  1902  were 
not  only  maintained  but  advanced.

LUMBER. 


By  L.  M.  BoBons,  Secretary  Lnmbermen's  Ezcfa&nge  of  St.  Louis. 


The  lumber  business  of  this  city  for  the  year  1908  has  been  most 
aggresslTely  prosperous.  The  principal  reasons  for  this  marked  conditioB 
are  two-fold.  During  the  past  year  nuuiy  lumber  manufacturers  who  in 
former  years  operated  in  the  Northern  States  had  transferred  their  interests 
to  the  Souths  and  naturally  marketed  their  products  through  St.  Louis.  In 
addition  to  this  the  St.  Louis  lumbermen  greatly  increased  their  direct 
shipments  from  points  of  manufacture  to  that  of  consumption.  While  both 
these  causes  enumerated  vastly  increased  the  yolume  of  business  done  by  St. 
Louis  firms,  such  business  does  not  show  nor  is  it  considered  in  the  follow- 
ing tabulated  record  of  receipts  and  shipments  for  St.  Louis.  The  receipts 
for  the  three  years  over  each  railroad  were  as  follows:

In  addition  to  this  rail  moyement  of  lumber  the  report  of  the  harbor

To  reduce  this  amount  of  lumber  to  feet  is  a  problem  which  cannot  be 
solved  with  any  degree  of  accuracy.  For  this  reason  the  same  basis  of 
12^000  feet  to  the  car  is  taken.  This  gives  the  following  as  the  total  receipts 
of  the  St.  Louis  market :

ft.  which  proves  conclusively  that  the  past  year  was  the  most  prosperous 
year  St.  Louis  lumbermen  have  ever  known  as  to  both  local  and  country 
business.

The  reoeipts  of  nayal  stores,  as  indicated  by  the  above  table,  show 
considerable  increase  over  previous  year.  The^  larger  part  of  the  naval 
stores  received  at  this  point  are  handled  by  St.  Lonis  houses,  this  being 
the  largest  distributing  point  in  the  West,  only  a  small  portion  b^ng 
shipped  through  to  Western  cities. 

Turpentine  ranged  from  45  to  &I}i  cents  per  gallon  during  the  year. 
Bosin  was  quoted  at  $1.65  to  $2.25  per  barrel  for  common,  $3.10  to  $4.75  for 
best  grades.

LEAD  AND  SPELTER. 


By  John  Wahl  Oommlsslon  Go. 


PIQ  LEAD. 

The  price  of  lead  during  the  year  1903  averages  about  10  per  cent 
Higher  than  that  of  the  preceding  twelve  months. 

Throughout  the  year  all  the  lead  consuming  industries  have  been 
busy,  and  large  quantities  have  gone  into  the  manufacture  of  white 
lead,  cables,  pipes,  sheets  and  Babitt  metal.  The  production  has  been 
well  under  control,  thus  obviating  the  necessity  of  exporting  lead  in 
order  to  maintain  values  at  home,  as  has  been  the  case  in  former  years. 

The  production  of  lead  in  the  United  States  from  domestic  ores  dur- 
ing the  year  1903  shows  nominally  an  increase  of  about  3  per  cent  over 
the  previous  year. 

Total  production  of  Argentiferous  and  Missouri  lead  foots  up  nom- 
inally 290,000  tons,  as  compared  with  280,000  tons  for  the  year  1902. 
About  70  per  cent  of  all  the  lead  produced  in  the  United'  States  is  de- 
rived from  Argentiferous  ores. 

The  year  1903  has  been  a  prosperous  one  for  producers  of  Missouri 
lead,  the  output  passing  the  previous  high  record  of  1902. 

Statistics  record  Missouri  productions  80,000  tons,  as  compared 
with  70,000  tons  for  the  previous  year.  This  increase  is  mainly  due  to 
the  growth  and  development  of  older  properties,  although  a  few  new 
companies  have  made  modest  entries  among  the  ranks  of  the  producers. 

The  price  of  pig  lead  at  the  beginning  of  1903  was  $4.06.  The  high- 
est price  was  reached  in  April,  when  the  metal  sold  at  $4.66  to  $4.67^. 
The  year  closes  with  prices  at  $4.17%. 

SPELTER. 

The  spelter  business  in  the  United  States  during  the  year  1903  was 
reasonably  profitable.  High  prices  prevailed  practically  throughout  the 
year. 

A  decline  set  in  about  the  beginning  of  November,  but  although  it 
was  rapid,  the  price  did  not  fall  below  what  would  normally  be  con- 
sidered a  high  level,  and  about  the  middle  of  December  the  market 
began  to  trend  upward  again. 

The  high  range  in  prices  in  1903  for  spelter  has  been  due  to  a 
strong  consumptive  demand,  which  kept  smelters  busy,  although  the 
increase  in  smelting  capacity  was  considerable.  During  the  summer 
months  there  were  labor  troubles,  causing  a  scarcity  of  fumacemen. 


230     .  TSADB  AKD  OOXKBBOS  OV 

The  arertge  price  of  spelter  during  Jaiiiuu7»  1903,  was  about  $4.70 
St  Louis.  It  rose  almost  without  Interruption  until  August,  in  which 
month  the  ayerage  price  was  about  16.60.  In  September  a  downward 
tendency  became  pronounced*  and  still  more  so  in  October,  and  it  con- 
tinued throughout  Noyember,  prices  dropping  nominally  |4.45  St  Louis. 
Towards  the  end  of  December  there  was  a  rapid  recovery,  and  prices 
advanced  to  about  |4.70. 

WHITB  LEAD. 

St  Louis  holds  the  foremost  position  in  the  manufacture  of  white 
lead.  The  brands  of  St  Louis  have  an  established  reputation  for  purity 
and  general  excellence.  IX  is  estimated  that  one-third  of  the  output  in 
the  United  States  is  manufactured  here. 

That  the  business  is  increasing  year  by  year  is  shown  by  the  fol- 
lowing statement  of  shipments,  which  does  not  Include  the  amount 
used  in  the  city  and  suburbs  or  on  the  World's  Fair  buildings.

232  TRADK  AND  OOMMERCE  OF 


WOOL  AND  FURS. 


By  Funsteh  Bbos.  &  Co. 


WOOL. 

While  the  year  1903  can  be  called  a  fairly  satisfactory  year  to  the 
wool  trade,  it  has  not  been  without  its  ups  and  downs,  and  the  risk  of 
carrying  large  lines  of  wool  on  the  high  level  of  values  that  have  pre- 
vailed since  clip  time.  The  facts  are,  that  the  prices  of  wool  paid  by 
the  buyers  at  shearing  time,  at  original  shipping  points,  were  entirely 
too  high,  and  though  it  was  conceded  that  wool  occupied  a  very  strong 
statistical  position,  it  has  been  a  hard  matter  to  get  manufacturers  to 
advance  prices,  as  they  have  persistently  claimed  that  it  was  almost 
Impossible  to  get  any  addvance  in  prices  for  their  manufactured  goods. 

The  supply  of  wool  in  this  country  is  probably  as  small  as  it  has 
been  for  over  ten  years,  and  by  the  law  of  supply  and  demand  the  price 
of  wool  should  have  been  from  3c  to  5c  per  pound  higher  than  pre- 
vailed throughout  the  season.  The  St.  Louis  merchants  will  be  in  ex- 
cellent condition  to  take  on  a  new  clip  in  the  spring  of  1904,  and  it  is 
believed  that  some  heavy  buying  will  be  done  in  territory  and  domestic 
wools  in  these  various  sections  by  the  St.  Louis  market 

The  phenomenal  advance  in  cotton  has  doubtless  had  its  effect 
upon  the  manufacturer  of  woolen  goods,  and  will  doubtless  tend  to 
strengthen  and  advance  the  prices  of  wool  the  coming  season.  The  mar- 
ket has  been  quite  steady,  with  a  gradual  advance  in  prices  since  the 
beginning  of  the  season,  but  the  advance  is  not  nearly  so  much  as  ex- 
pected by  the  trade  earlier  in  the  season. 

Each  year  St.  Louis  grows  stronger  and  more  popular  as  a  wool 
market  throughout  the  wool  trade  of  the  West,  and  it  practically  estab- 
lishes values  in  the  Territories  and  Western  States  at  shearing  time. 
Much  credit  is  due  the  merchants  of  St.  Louis  for  their  fearless  and 
enterprising  spirit  in  buying  immense  volumes  of  wool  to  be  carried  in 
stock  to  supply  manufacturers  from  time  to  time  as  they  come  to  mar- 
ket. St.  Louis  is  the  second  largest  market  in  the  United  States,  and 
is  a  very  strong  competitor  for  both  domestic  and  territory  wools,  and 
has  reached  out  into  all  wool-producing  States  that  offer  anything  like 
favorable  freight  rates  to  this  market. 

Pulled  and  scoured  wools  have  shown  considerable  activity  dur^ 
ing  the  past  year,  and  a  big  business  has  been  done  in  this  line.  St 
Louis  has  always  been  a  big  fleece  wool  market,  and  is  growing  more 
Important  in  this  line  each  year. 

A  conservative  estimate  of  the  value  of  the  wool  handled  in  St 
Louis  during  the  year  1903  amounts  to  about  $7,500,000.

FURS. 

There  are  few  branches  of  trade  in  St.  Louis  that  have  shown  a 
larger  increase  than  that  of  the  fur  trade.  St.  Louis  is  the  largest  pri- 
mary fur  market  in  the  world,  and  her  importance  as  a  great  fur  center 
is  growing  every  year.  It  is  unquestionably  the  biggest  market  in  the 
world  for  raccoon,  mink,  skunk  and  opossum  skins.  St  Louis  has  cut 
into  the  trade  of  other  markets  this  year  to  an  alarming  extent,  and 
has  taken  such  a  lead  that  it  would  be  a  very  hard  matter  for  any  other 

market  in  this  country  to  make  anything  like  as  good  a  showing  as 
St.  Louis  has  this  past  season. 

As  a  primary  market  it  draws  furs  from  a  greater  scope  of  terri- 
tory than  any  market  in  the  world. 

The  catch  for  the  season  1903-1904  will  be  larger  than  that  of  the 
previous  season,  but  as  values  are  not  quite  as  high  as  they  were  the 
previous  season,  the  value  of  furs  handled  in  this  market  will  be  but 
very  little,  if  any,  more  than  the  previous  season.  Something  like 
$4,500,000  to  $5,000,000  worth  of  furs  were  sold  in  this  market  this 
season.

TRADE  AND  COMMEROB  OF

By  the  Bt.  Louis  Hi^  Szchange. 

The  Hay  market  for  the  past  year  has  been  an  exceptionally  good  one, 
and  while  the  stocks  on  hand  at  the  end  of  the  year  are  larger  than  those 
of  last  year,  still  at  no  time  daring  the  year  was  there  surplus  enough  to 
reduce  the  price  to  any  great  extent. 

The  Hay  crop  this  season  was  as  large  or  larger  than  for  any  year  for 
some  time,  and  the  quality  is  good.    The  prices  on  both  timothy  and 

Erairie  Hay  have  ruled  about  the  average,  while  the  South  and  Southeast 
ave  not  taken  as  much  Hay  from  this  market  as  is  usual,  owing  to  their 
haying  large  crops  of  their  own,  still  our  merchants  here  shipped  laige 
quantities  to  nearby  places,  as  the  crop  in  this  section  prior  to  the  new 
crop  was  a  yery  poor  one. 

Taking  it  all  in  all  we  believe  the  Hay  dealers  here  have  had  a  very 
prosperous  year,  and  when  the  poor  transportation  facilities  are  taken  into 
consideration,  tney  are  to  be  congratulated  for  handling  the  business  as 
as  they  have.    Stocks  on  hand  at  end  of  current  year  about  3,500  tons.

THE  CITY  OP  ST.  LOUIS.  237 


CANDIES. 


By  V.  L.  Prick,  Vice-President  of  the  National  Candy  Co. 


In  the  last  year  St.  Loala  has  gone  far  beyond  Its  previous  accom- 
plisliments  In  the  candy  business. 

The  volume  of  business  In  1903  has  exceeded  considerably  that  In 
1902.  There  Is  still  an  increased  demand  for  the  higher  grades  of  goods, 
in  the  manufacture  of  which  St.  Louis  excels. 

There  are  seven  large  factories  in  St.  Louis,  employing  over  2»000 
hands,  and  paying  in  vrages  $750,000  per  annum. 

Candies  of  every  variety  are  manufactured,  and  there  is  no  better 
selection  to  be  had  by  the  wholesaler  or  retailer  than  can  be  obtained  in 
the  St.  Louis  market. 

The  trade  extends  over  nearly  the  United  States,  as  far  east  as  New 
England,  and  west  to  the  Pacific  Coast. 

St.  Louis  enjoys  geographically  an  enviable  position,  and  with  the 
assistance  of  the  railroad  companies  offers  exceptional  advantages  to 
the  purchaser,  which  enables  St.  Louis  confectioners  to  gain  such  a 
large  volume  of  business  in  the  Central,  Western  and  Southern  States. 

The  confectionery  manufacturers  of  St.  Louis  are  progressive  and 
stand  pre-eminent  amongst  their  competitors  for  integrity  and  fairness, 
which  was  proven  by  the  location  of  the  general  offices  of  the  National 
Candy  Co.,  comprising  twenty  large  manufacturers,  distributed  through- 
out the  United  States,  and  of  which  company  the  president,  secretary 
and  treasurer  are  St.  Louis  confectioners. 

The  confectionery  industry  constitutes  a  very  important  part  of  the 
city's  manufacturing  industries,  and  approaches  in  volume  nearly 
$4,000,000  per  annum,  or  about  60,000,000  pounds. 


238  TRAD£  AND  OOMXERCE  OF 


DRIED  FRUIT. 


By  HovMAN  Bbothsbs  Pboducb  Co. 


The  past  year's  dried  fmit  busineBs,  while  not  as  large  as  that  of 
the  preylous  year,  was  very  Batis&ctory.  The  falling  off  in  receipts, 
203,551  packages,  as  compared  with  310,789  in  1902.  is  due  to  the  al- 
most total  failure  of  the  apple  crop  in  the  section  tributary  to  St  Loai& 
The  apple  crop  in  Arkansas,  Illinois  and  Missouri  was  very  light,  and 
but  few  of  the  apples  were  dried  or  evaporated. 

Prices  on  the  evaporated  product  have  ruled  low  all  season,  for 
the  crops  in  Michigan  and  New  York  were  large  and  the  carry-oTer 
stocks  of  old  goods  in  the  cold  storage  houses  tended  to  keep  prices 
down.  Sun-dried  apples  have  brou^t  good  prices  all  season  through, 
and  the  call  for  this  kind  of  fruit  has  been  steady. 

The  demand  for  California  dried  fruits  is  on  the  increase,  and  the 
trade  along  this  line  is  growing  yearly.  Besides  the  large  home  de- 
mand to  be  supplied,  large  quantities  of  California  dried  fruits  are 
shipped  from  St  Louis. 

The  export  demand  for  sun-dried  apples,  which  is  an  important  tBO- 
tor,  has  been  active  and  prospects  for  a  good  spring  trade  are  bright 
Foreign  houses  are  heavy  buyers  of  sun-dried  apples,  and  the  demand  ii 
steadily  increasing. 

Trade  since  the  first  of  the  new  year  has  been  very  brisk,  and  we 
look  for  a  very  good  spring  business.

THE  CITY  OP  ST.  LOUIS. 


241 


EGGS, 


By  F.  W.  Brockman. 


The  importance  of  St.  Louis  as  an  egg  center,  and  consequent  dis- 
tributor of  this  product,  is  well  recognized  by  the  trade  all  over  this 
country,  and  its  steadily  increasing  receipts  are  an  indication  that  the 
producing  sections  are  more  and  more  turning  their  eyes  to  St.  Louis 
as  an  outlet  for  their  product.  Being  situated  in  the  midst  of  the  early 
producing  sections  of  the  South  and  West,  and  the  enormous  poultry 
and  egg  section  tributary  to  this  city,  St.  Louis  thereby  becomes  a  large 
distributor  to  all  the  other  sections  of  this  country  during  a  great  part' 

of  the  year.  The  steadily  increasing  receipts  from  year  to  year  fully 
bear  out  the  above,  and  this,  together  with  the  large  addition  to  its 
cold  storage  facilities,  is  gradually  but  surely  increasing  the  magnitude 
of  its  fall  and  winter  business  in  eggs.  During  the  year  Just  closed  the 
trade  in  eggs  has  been  eminently  satisfactory  to  all  connected  with  it, 
largely  from  the  fact  that  the  consuming  trade  has  been  excellent,  and 
prices  have  been  kept  within  conservative  limits.  When  we  take  into 
consideration  that  the  average  price  during  nine  months  of  the  year 
ranged  within  an  average  of  from  13  to  14c,  and  this  enabled  buyers 
of  large  quantities  to  fill  their  orders  for  storage  purposes  here,  intended 
to  again  draw  their  attention  to  St.  Louis  as  a  market  center  for  obtain- 
ing their  supplies  for  storage,  as  well  as  during  the  fall  of  the  year  they 
found  a  favorable  market  for  their  purchases  of  storage  eggs.  The 
establishment  of  branches  here  by  a  number  of  large  dealers,  as  well  as 
main  offices  in  several  instances,  will  certainly  have  a  tendency  to  in- 
crease the  already  growing  trade  in  this  commodity,  and  the  day  is 
not  far  distant  when  St.  Louis  during  a  large  part  of  the  year  will  be 
the  tone  giving  center  in  the  egg  trade.

THE  0IT7  OF  ST.  LOUIS.  243 


FRUIT  AND  PRODUCE. 


By  M.  G.  Richmond. 


The  year  1903  was  fairly  satisfactory,  notwithstanding  the  strike  of 
about  two  months,  and  the  disastrous  high  waters,  which  not  only  ruined 
crops,  but  crippled  the  railroads  to  some  extent. 

Values  of  all  commodities  have  held  steady  and  in  most  instances 
show  a  profit  to  the  investor.  The  volume  of  business  handled  ex- 
ceeded all  expectations,  taking  into  consideration  the  disturbing  ele- 
ments that  existed. 

APPLES. 

That  section  of  the  apple  crop  of  1903  which  contributed  largely  to 
making  St.  Louis  the  great  distributing  market  of  the  country  was  al- 
most a  failure,  only  a  small  percentage  of  the  supply  coming  from  Illi- 
nois, Missouri,  Kansas  and  Arkansas.  These  conditions  forced  our 
dealers  to  look  East,  where  the  supply  was  sufficient  to  meet  all  de- 
mands. The  prices  paid  were  very  satisfactory  to  the  grower,  averag- 
ing about  $2.00  per  barrel  in  western  New  York.  But  owing  to  the  su- 
perior quality  of  the  apples,  those  that  invested  for  late  markets  are 
realizing  very  handsomely  on  their  investments.  The  large  exports 
have  been  of  great  help  to  the  speculator,  equaling  2,650,000  barrels  up 
to  December  31st. 

The  foreign  markets  have  held  firm  throughout  the  entire  season, 
netting  to  the  shipper  very  good  results.  The  foreign  crop  was  the 
smallest  for  several  years.  The  exports  to  foreign  markets  exceeded 
all  previous  years,  even  those  of  the  "bumper  crop"  of  1902. 

The  receipts  for  St.  Louis  were  422,400  barrels.  The  visible  sup- 
ply in  storage  December  31st,  as  furnished  by  the  International  Apple 
Shippers'  Association,  including  Canada,  represent  3,462,508  barrels. 

POTATOES- 

The  general  potato  crop  for  1903  has  proven  considerably  smaller 
than  was  at  first  estimated;  while  the  government  made  the  crop  about 
thirteen  per  cent  less  than  that  of  1902,  the  loss  from  rot  early  in  the 
season  must  have  been  much  greater  than  was  calculated. 

Values,  as  a  whole,  commencing  with  the  early  receipts  from  the 
South,  have  been  high.  But  the  volume  of  business  has  been  well  main- 
tained.   The  disastrous  hi^  waters  which  flooded  a  large  portion  of 


244  TRADE  AKD  COMMBRGX  OF 

the  land  in  the  American  Bottoms,  drowned  out  thousands  of  acres  of 
potatoes  which  usually  add  largely  to  St.  Louis  receipts^  consequently 
the  local  crop  of  potatoes  for  1903  represent  about  twenty  per  cent  of 
an  average  crop. 

Shipments  out  of  the  American  Bottom  were  1,120  cars,  equal  to 
660,000  bushels;  also  the  wagon  receipts,  which  are  estimated  at  250,000 
bushels,  are  not  taken  into  account  with  the  receipts  of  2,341  cars  and 
557,124  packages,  or  2,841,800  bushels,  which  added  to  the  American 
Bottom  crop,  makes  a  grand  total  of  3,751,800  bushels  handled  through 
the  St.  Louis  market 

ONIONS. 

Receipts  of  onions  for  1903  were  468  cars  and  71,840  packages, 
equaling  413,600  bushels.  Our  local  crop  was  a  failure,  occasioned  by 
the  flood.  The  general  crop  of  onions  harvested  in  the  United  States 
was  considerably  smaller  than  that  of  1902.    Prices  have  ruled  high. 

ORANGES. 

The  crop  of  oranges  for  1903  has  been  a  record  breaker.  California 
not  only  having  a  very  large  crop  but  Florida  has  contributed  more 
than  usual  in  supplying  the  trade.  Prices  have  ruled  lower  than  former 
years. 

Receipts,  582,855  boxes;  shipments,  480,040  boxes.  The  receipts  of 
lemons  were  125,905  boxes.  The  receipts  of  bananas,  2,070  cars.  Ship- 
ments, 1,093  cars.
