ST. LOUIS IS RAW FUR MARKET
AFTER 161 YEARS OF TRADING
ST. LOUIS, Mo., Jan. 21. (/P)—
Changing fashions and the steady re
treat of the wilderness frontier have
spread the search for pelts for Mi
lady’s fur coat to the four corners
of the earth but after 161 years of
trading, St. Louis still is the leading
raw fur market of the world.
The annual North American catch
is again beginning to pour into ware
houses that stand where Pierre La
clede and his band of followers trad
ed beads for deer skins with the In
dians, on Feb. 16, 1764, the day after
the city was founded. Today, the fur
sales annually involve more than
$25,000,000, with buyers from the
leading markets of the world attend
ing.
Laclede and his party came up
from New Orleans after obtaining a
permit to trade in furs. Where the
first transactions were made, the
Louisiana Purchase papers were sign
d in 1804.
The first trading was local, in pelts
■brought in by the native Indians and
trappers living in the settlement.
There was a gradual widening of the
district from which the fur was ob
tained and fur companies were estab
lished from time to time. For a long
time the furs were used as money
and later were taken in trade for
household supplies.
After the passing of the fur com
pany which Laclede himself organiz
ed, the Missouri Trading Company
began operation, in 1794. Next was
the Missouri Fur Company, which, it
is claimed, kept the British from ob
taining a trade foothold which might
have given the entire section into
I British control. This firm later merg
| ed with one established by John Ja
| cob Astor.
In the first five years the value of
the annual trade volume climbed to
$80,000 a year. The business has ex
panded steadily and now the -world’s
j fur prices are established at St.
j Louis.
Through the 25 fur houses here all
the seal skins for the United States
government and for other nations are
! hadled. The catch comes here for
j dyeig and is later sold at auctions
! held twice a year.

SUGGESTS AMERICAN WOMEN’S
METHOD IN HOUSE OF COMMONS
BERLIN, Jan. 21. (/P)—The prevail
ing method of American women in
conducting their households has been
recommended to German women by
Frau Clara Mende, one of Germany’s
foremost women parliamentarians and
closely identified with the National
Association of German Housekeepers.
“Economy of time and strength’’ is
the keynote of American housekeep
ing, Frau Mende found on a visit to
the United States, and she would
have her German sisters modify and
adapt their methods to the exigencies
of life in modern Germany.
“The German woman is the most

HERRMANN SCOUTING FOR MEN
TO FILL IMPORTANT POSITIONS
CINCINNATI, Jan. 21. (ff)-The
major league baseball meetings fail
ed to yield the Cincinnati Reds any
trades but President August Herr
mann has his eye set for material to
strengthen four important positions
in his team. The Reds are in need
of a catcher, shortstop, first base
man and left fielder.
Christensen was obtained from St.
Paul in a trade for Neihaus, an out
fielder, and a sum of money. A few
weeks ago Elmer Smith, utility man,
was sold to the Portland club. The
only other deal of the early winter
was the tentative purchase of Frank
Emmert, shortstop of the Seattle
team. Emmert was with the Reds
a few years ago and a thorough sea
soning in the minors is said to have
convertde him into a high class per
former.
Plans for a Greater Redland Field,
proposed to be the largest in the
country and have a seating capacity
of about 80,000, are awaiting the ac
tion of the Cincinnati park board
which controls the desired site. The
field previously was intended as a mu
nicipal athletic field.
Unless the Reds’ seouts dig up ad
ditional material before the training
season, indications are that the line
up will be about the same as last
year, except for Emmert at short and
Walter Christensen, the St. Paul pur
chas, in left field.
CLOSES WOODEN CANTILEVER
BRIDGE NEARLY CENTURY OLD
LANCASTER, Ky., Jan. 21. (d5)—
The state highway commiss’on has
closed the longest single span wood
en cantilever bridge, a romantic land
muik across the Kentucky river.
A steel or concrete structure soon
will make a memory of one of the
few remaining covered bridges. Lo
cated just beyond Camp Nelson on
Kic Lookout Mountain Airline High
way, it was ouiit in 183$. Only late
ly when heavy busses began 10 civsb
the 240-foot span were there pro

There is one wooden bridge left in
the state. The Licking River bridge
of 1837 resounded to hoofbeats of
Morgan’s men when they took Cyn
ithiana in the ’sxities.
