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.

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.

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.
Mabch I2th. The Board of Directors of the Merchants' Exchange of

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
bills of lading on shipments to London should not carry any conditions not
imposed on bills of lading to Liverpool and other points.

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

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
be draped in mourning for thirty days.

of St. Louis heartily endorse and approve the resolutions adopted by the

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.

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%.
'wT^irf ^»i>i*»^ lias beenfaicreased during the year by the establish-
Hie ^'^'^^^ r^V,,^ trust companies, making the banking caplUl and
BieDt of s«v^«VJ^% tbe year $59,387,970.

32 TBADB AJXD OOMMBROB OF
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
Average number of employes .... 280,948 864,910

Value of products $618,188,000 $8,024,070,000
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

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

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:
January $1,565,075
February 1,451,607
March 1,704,048
April 2,889,070
May 8,870,681

December (to December 27) 1,888,498
*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
firms; in the number of salesmen on the road; in the number of factories;
in the number of men employed in them ; in the quantity of goods turned
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 :

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

St. Louis dealers have materially extended their holdings of timber lands,
flieir millB liaye been improved and new ones built, their logging roads
have Btretcbed further into the timber, and they have expanded in various
ways which will tend to place them in a better position than ever to extend
the buainess of the market.

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
58
TBAjm AMD ooMMmmam or
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.
00 TRABB AHD GOKMBBOB OF
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.
By Jambs Ajibitgki.e» Manager Latin- American Olub and Foreign Trade Ass'n.
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.

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.

September Ist^ 1901^ to be 947,006 bales in excess of 1899 and 1900.

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.

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. .

CONDITIONS OF THE TBBA8UBT.
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.
Munioipal Revenue 28^.85
Water Works Revenue 995,898.91
Harbor Fund 44,079.21
$2,074,692.06
KBVlENinB: AND APFSOPBIATIONS.
The resources of the revenue funds income and unappropriated balances
April 10, 1900, were as follows :
Interest and public debt revenue $ 2,208,886.69
Munioipal revenue 6.976,814.18
Water works revenue 2,660.911.26
Harbor fund 108,649 J(4
$10,887,180.61
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
For general municipal purposes .96 .96

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.

COTTON.
St. Louis, September Ist, 1901.
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
7 11-16 in May and June, and the highest 10^ in September. The largest
receipts were from Arkansas, but tne largest increase was from Texas,
being 383,940 bales as compared with 185,961 the preyious year; Oklahoma
contributed 35,963 bales.
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
year before. About 5,000 bales were consumed in the city mills in the
manufacture of cloth and batting.
The stock in warehouse at the end of the year was 34,378 standard bales.

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.

No. 2 sold at aboat 37 cents in January^ advancing to 40 cents in Feb-
rnaxy and to 45 in May. In July when the drouth came on values rapidly
increased, going to 60 and remaining at b7}i to 60 cents until November^
when sales were made at 66>^^ advancing still further in December to 69
and closing at 66>^ to 67 cents.

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
in August, September and October, and reaching as high as 47 in November
and 60 cents in December.

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

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,
1,566,550 head. The summer packing of 1901 aggregated about 105,000
head as compared with 939,500 the previous season. The amoimt of
product handled in this market for past four years was as follows :

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.

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.

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.

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 National Board of Trade, Washington, D. G. . . .January 21.
Rivers and Harbors Committee, Washington, D. C. .February 18.
Iowa Grain Dealers' Association, Des Moines, la April 24.
Illinois Grain Dealers' Association, Decatur, 111 June 10.
National Hay Convention, Put-in-Bay, Ohio July 10.
Grain Dealers' National Association, Peoria, 111 .October 1.
Mississippi River Convention, Quincy, 111 November 12.
Your Board has also given its support to the Public Welfare Committee,
and to the Good Roads Convention to be held In St. Louis, In April next,
and has taken action on and given Its approval to matters of National Import-
ance—such as the Tariff Commission; amendments to Interstate Commerce
12 TRADE AND COMKBRGB OF
law; postal refonns; ConBular service; bankraptoy law; improyement of
Western waterways; foreign bills-of -lading; preservation of forests^ and
other objects.
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 :
ToUl Cars unloaded 16,84*
Total Cars loaded out 6,968
Number of Socks 2Se,lH
Loadedout is Barges, bushels 7Bfi,6M

RESOLUTIONS
ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS DURING 190a.
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.

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"

the St Louis Manufacturers* Association, calling upon the Federal

Washington to urge upon the Rivers and Harbors Committee to make a
liberal appropriation for the improvemenit of the Mississippi river be-
tween the mouth of the Missouri and the mouth of the Ohio rivers.
VISIT OF PRINCE HENRY OF GERMANY.

tion (through the Mayor, to Prince Henry of Germany to visit the Ex-
change on the morning of his arrival in St Louis.

the United States and other places, and for other purposes.
THB OTTY OF 8T. LODIB. 19
INCBBASED MAIL SBBTICE.
March 21M. The Board adopted the IoUdwIdk report of the Com-
mittee on Postal Affairs:
"The letter of Postmaster F W. BaomhofC In regard to fast mall
and sabnrban trains for St Lonla, which was referred to the Postal
Affairs Committee bf your honorable bodr-
"The Committee on Postal Affairs after carefully constderlDg the
matter, are fnlly agreed that an aftemooa train on the Mlssonrl Pa-
dflc, lenvlUK St. Lonla at 2:30 p. m. everj day, is needed and desirable.
It iroDld prove a great benefit and accommodation to the people living
within WO miles of onr city, and It would add a large enbnrban popnla-
tlon, which, by the facility offered by this afternoon trahi of safe
trauBportaUoD of reaching the city and retnminghome same day, wonld
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.

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

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.

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-

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-
visions of the said law.
LANDS IN THE INDIAN TERRITORY.
The Board of Directors of the Merchants' Exchange of St Louis
heartily endorse the action of the Muskogee Chamber of Commerce,
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.

28 TRADE AND OOHHXBCB OF
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-

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.

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 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
show an aggregate of $34,265,480, the increase over last year being

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 :
1877 $160,498,000
1880 181,345,000
1886 207,910,000

1901 394,796,700
1902 418,044,476
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 :
OASBS.

January 84,881 98,986
February 86,144 84,686
March 96,482 94,680
April 89,063 92,446
May 89,524 96,186

December 93,010 95,904
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.

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.
TBADI AKD OOlOaBOl QT
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

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.

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

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.

THB OITT OP ST. L0T7IS. 71
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.

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-
74 TRAD! AlfD COMMSBOB OF
stantly greater trade -with the United States. 6t. Louis keeps active in
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 :
Pounds.
Dressed hogs 750,000
Fresh hams 60,000

creased, and the usually heavy importations of bananas from Colombia,

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.
1894 45,764
1896 68,621
1896 66,478
1897 62,804
1898 76,821
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

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
purchase of the bonds issued in aid of the World's Fair.
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
For general municipal purposes .96

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."

St. Lonia, September Ist, 190S.
Thfl oottcw crop of the United SUtea, for ttte eotton f«mr just doMdj
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."

uall decline in 1902 in flour manufactured, flour exported
enta Is easily located in the Item of foreign shipments. The
flour from the whole Unlt«d States were 19,284,779 barrels

«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:
Wheat. Oars.
Bed Winter 26,819
Hard Winter 4,740
White Winter 97
Spring 800
Total 81,466
The 1,067^203 sacks of wheat received was all red winter wheat. The
largest weekly receipts were 1,971,472 bushels for the week ending August
9th, and the largest single day^s receipts were 687,836 bushels on Saturday
August 9th.

in Iowa 17.5, in Missouri 19.9 and in Illinois 17.9.
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
to 63)^ cents until the new crop began to arrive in November, when the
price fell to 44^ closing in December at 403^ to 41 >^.

buyer. The price of No. 2 in January was 50 cents, ranging from 41 3^ to
48 cents until harvest, when values declined materially. During August
quotations were 26>^ to d2^, October 29 to 32, closing in December at 33>^

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.

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.

THE CITT OF 8T. LOUIS. 215
DRESSED BEEP.
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.

BAQQINQ AND COTTON TIES.
The business in bagging and ties for 1902, shows a falling off in valae as
compared with 1901. This was in consequence of the short cotton crop.
Local mannfacturers report a decrease in the amount of bagging manu-
factored and an increase in the amount on hand at dose of the year as
compared with previous year.

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

THE oiTT or ST. Loms. 243
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

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

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-

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-
THB OFTT OF ST. LOUIS. 23
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.

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;
38 TRjUDS AND COMMERCE OF
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

"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

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^

"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.

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:

FURNITURE.
By Obo. T. Parubb, Presldeiit St. LouIb Fnmiture Board of Trade.
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.

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

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

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.

BONDED DEBT.
•
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.

74 TKAOB AND OOlOfBaCB OF
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.
76 TIUDS AND OOMMBBOB OP
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.

T ST. LOUIS.
UNION rrATioN, rr.
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,

THE RIVERS.
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

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.

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.

THB CITY OF ST, LOUIS.

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.

WHEAT.
The wheat crop In the territory tributary to St Louis was a short
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
and August In 1902 the amount received during these months was

2,764,920 bushels came in. The almost total destruction of the crop in
the bottom lands below St. Louis by the oyerflow in June cut att a Tery
Important source of supply.
Receipts were as usual largest from the West and Northwest,
although in the later months a considerable amount was receiyed
from east of the riyer.
Inspections for the past two years show the relatiye amount oC

The shipments of wheat aggregated 18,806,761 bushels; of this
amount, 1,724,220 bushels went by riyer to New Orleans for export
and 876,086 by rail to Atlantic and Gulf ports for foreign account. The
largest amount, 14,867,060, was distributed by rail to Southern and
Southeastern points, 1,797,932 bushels going to Eastern points on mill-
ing demand.
Values for No. 2 Red ranged at 70c and 76c from Januaxy to end
of May, reaching 84 in .latter part of June, closing in August at 85,
ranging from 84 to 91 in September, October and November, and c1ob>

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

187
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.

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.

TRADK AND OOMMBBCB OT
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
master shows the following receipts by river :

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 :
Feet— 1908.

This shows a gain in shipments over the preceding year of 115^890,000

year St. Louis lumbermen have ever known as to both local and country

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
HAY.
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.
