While a few boats still continue to ply the placid and murky bosom of the ".Fa ther of Waters" as far as the near vi cinity of St. Paul is concerned, yet the majority of the floating craft have taken to the bank and are awaiting the coming of the ice king. 'X-l'-'X' Officially, navigation on the upper Mis sissippi closes Nov. 15. This docs not mean that the boats have to stop run ning when that date arrives, but all who chip goods by river .-After the lath do so at their own risk. Between that time and April 15 insurance is denied the ship per and the boat owner. Lighthouse keepers arc laid off and the river is dark. The river just now is lower than it has been for years and an early closing iSj expected. Last year \ce made itst ap pearance about the 15th, and a few days later gorged, tying up navigation com pletely. If cold weather comes, rivermen hay, they would not bo surprised if the river closed by the 14th. The rafting boats have been severely handicapped this year because of the continued low water. Many of them sought winter quarters a month ago, while others have gone into th*; lower river to finish out the y?ar as packets. The majority of the small boat owners Bay they had a successful year. The Diamond Jo company as yet has not figured out its profit and loss for "the season, but those in charge say there will be little of the latter. The passen ger traffic for 1001 was heavy,. while freight business was correspondingly large. Low watei called a halt earlier than expected, but in the main business was good throughout. . St. Paul's fleet of steamers is mostly given over, to the excursion business and the owners have done well. It is expect ed that the number of boats will be gitatly added to next year."

LUTHERANS' GREAT DAY TO CELEBRATE' MARTIN LUTHER ANNIVERSARY TOMORROW. Throughout the Protestant world to morrow there will be. special services in honor of Martin Luther, the founder oi the great epoch" known as the Reforma tion, which? marks not only.'a? tremendous religious revolution, but also the begin ning of a brilliant era In literature. On the-eve of All- Saints' = day,7 Oct. 31, 1517, Martin Luther, a ? profesor in the University of Wittenberg, Saxony, nailed to the doors of. the Castle church his fa mous ninety-five" theses, or propositions, denouncing the - sale of indulgences— custom that had reached extraordinary proportions at that time. * * *'* This astounding piece of boldness re sulted -in | Pope : Leo X. Issuing an edict? against the: reformer, but Luther .publicly burned the , paj>al 'A bill and continued preaching to large audiences against the' Church of Rome and the pope. - The whole of Germany ? was shaken to its depths, and Luther ? was" summoned before the diet of Worms.' : '- 7 Although that body did its best to in duce him to recant, he became only the more determined in his convictions of the frauds in vogue in the church. :,. For a while public Opinion was in a state of such ferment that he was obliged to remain in concealment?. But this was only for a; : short time. He. was soon preaching again, and to larger crowds, than ever. j. ■ --?". 7- l Besides? preaching, he found '■ time to write a mass of pamphlets and books. In February, 1546, in.his sixty-third year, he . died from a severe? cold - contracted* while preaching. Narrowly speaking, _ the Reformation covered the period from 1517 to. 1545, but as a matter of fact that great movement varied considerably in 'different countries. Thus in? Germany it can : scarcely be said to have reached its consummation until the treaty; of Augsburg, 1555; in Switzerland, until the death of Calvin, in 1564; in France, until the massacre on the eve of St.* Bartholomew, 1562; in Bohemia, until r the battle of White Hill, r 1620,; and in Italy, England| and other European countries until many years later. "A; Mighty : Fortress Is Our God" § will be sung tomorrow by millions'- to whom Luther is a reformer, while other millions wih think of him as a great revolutionist.

The * great majority of the answers indicated, that I prices are. no lower : abroad than they are ;for domestic consumers, and several indicate that for eign prices are higher. :?:Continuing'-. the report says: 7 - ■-•- ■*■ •• , ■ ..'-*■.- ---. 'S Those who state that they sell for low er prices abroad give various . reasons for lower | prices, which may be classified:j as permanent .> reasons - and 7 temporary - rea sons. -The : permanent reasons :to: which are ; ascribed i the greatest importance are those of cash payments and rlarge: pur chases in the foreign trade, whereas the domestic trade is based on credits and small purchases. ?■-7 Another reason for the permanently lower prices abroad, as stated ? by: sev eral - establishments, * is- the drawback -or rebate, of the tariff on imported raw ma terials manufactured for export. This is particularly noticed iin the sales' of • cut I soles and sole leather/where the duty of fifteen, per; tent being refunded in case of * export ? trade permits a \ lower: price in ■ ; the -foreign market. - Also in canned goods, where a * drawback i s given-, on the tin plate of the cans in which the goods are exported, and in wire rope, where .the duty on copper wire is refunded "A somewhat similar distinction exists in the case of bottled Deer-, where an allow ance is made from the internal revenue : duties in:case' of -export goods. - r. ■.j Some establishments, in answering the question as to what means they would use to secure, an equality :of :; prices 'at home and abroad, recommend- a reduc- v tion or a * removal of the protective tar iff, - and - several ;. oppose 7 any - change in .the tariff. The . great ' majority of an swers do not refer to the, tariff in one way or the other, and it is natural to as sume that .those not referring to it are either 7 indifferent: or ' prefer'- toY have sit left- undisturbed. A few • establishments reply: that . they 7 make ', lower prices In order to overcome the tariff of -other countries. J-- This r applies = particularly to, Canada. ; Along with this reason for "low er prices is given that of the expenses of shipment—insurance, freight and extra boxing .and packing preparatory for an ocean voyage.' .-.*:- * - A Besides the - foregoing permanent rea sons for lower prices abroad, there are several establishments which assign what may be" called - occasional' or temporary reasons,, especially, the: need* of securing new markets or of disposing of their sur plus product. One of the exporting hous es . quoted - states that in-: order• to create' a demand- for American material, "low ?prices, had to be made originally.: After this -was accomplished, prices could? be raised, as the r demand had been " created and people abroad educated to the ad vantages American goods. - - - ' A ] few exporters indicate that prior to 189S.*,prices:- were lower abroad than; at home.and that this condition was brought : about in order to j keep , a stable market in this country, and as one establishment puts- it, : "we want - the : foreign market, to cut our-price in, so as not to disturb the domestic market." -.'Other establishments state that prices are .v more stable - abroad than at home, and consequently when they are high here:they, will be lower abroad, and that they continue to sell under such condi tions .in order to keep up their connec tions. ----- . . - - -- It should be noted that several estab lishments S give i a general answer j that a v.: erage. prices .at home | and abroad I are about the r same, not indicating how this average |is computed. An § answer of this kind, may be taken to mean -that the av erage ",-,price cf ..? different I goods " at . the same time are : equalV in which case one line »of goods may be sold at lower prices abroad, while another, line is sold at high-r er prices abroad. Or the answer may be -taken to mean -that ■ the \ same g6j»ls are sold- at lower prices ■ abroad at one time and at >■ higher prices : abroad at . another time. ' In such a case the inference might be drawn that ? lower prices are ? made to establish - a :*■ trade ■■■-■ or : - to ■ sell : a surplus without, disturbing the domestic market, : and , that -at later times, when the ■ trade is established, or when the domestic mar ket, recovers, then prices may-be higher abroad ; than at r home.
