To Build up Foreign Trade.
A GREAT EXPOSITION TO BE HELD IN PHILA-
DELPHIA FOR THAT PURPOSE.
The event of the year in Philadelphia
will be an export exposition.
This is the first show of the sort ever
held in the United States. It follows ap-
propriately the expansion of Uncle Sam's
territory and the necessity which is now
laid upon hint of seeking foreign trade
development.
The exposition will be under the joint
auspices of the Commercial Museum and
the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia, and
its exhibits will be confined to manufac-
tures especially suitable for exports. It
will open in September and continue
through November.
The main group of buildings, covering
at least 200,000 square feet of exposition
space, will be on the west side of the
Schuylkill River, fifteen minutes' ride from
the City Hall. Besides this there will be
smaller buildings for agricultural machin-
ery, locomotives, railway and street cars
and plenty of space for a subdued Phila-
delphia Midway.
Mr. P. A. B. Widener, the street car
man, is President of the Exposition As-
sociation, and the directors include many
well-known Philadelphia business men.
In October a commercial congress will
be held in the assembly rooms of the ex-
position buildings, which will be attended
by delegates from the leading Chambers of
Commerce of the world. Probably eight
hundred representatives of foreign firms
will attend its sessions.
The department of manufactured prod-
ucts of the United States will occupy
four-fifths of the exposition space.

Big Demand for Krakauers.
The lively demand for Krakauer products,
noted by The Review on numerous oc-
casions since the present season began, still
continues. The move of the case factory
from 126th street to the new Harlem
premises is now practically completed.
Each member of the firm has worked
early and late to bring about a rapid re-ad-
justment of the factory facilities so that
agents shall not be kept waiting for ship-
ments. Mr. Kochmann makes frequent
trips in the firm interests. The Krakauer
representatives are proving their loyalty
and earnestness. They are sending in ex-
cellent reports.
Of Interest to Organ flakers.
Fire in Bunker Hill.
Manufacturers of organs will be inter-
ested in the new churches mentioned here-
with, all of which must, of course, be fur-
nished with organs: Fred. Pope, Tremont
Building, Boston, has made preliminary
sketches for a church for Col. A. A. Pope,
Columbus avenue, Boston, who will donate
it to the city of Nantasket, Mass. $25,000.
The First M. E. congregation of Syracuse,
N. Y., has decided to build a new church,
at a cost of $60,000. George Cary, Dela-
ware avenue and Huron street, Buffalo,
has made plans for an Episcopal Church

y. Edgar V. Seeler, 328 Chestnut street,
C. J. Jacoby's music store at Bunker Hill,

factory in Adrian, Mich., will be in run-
ning order.

thorough and up-to-date style. It is the

SINGLE COPIES 10 CENTS.
Aeolian Advancement.
The attention of readers of The Review
is drawn to a full-page announcement of
the .^Eolian Co. on another page. It will
interest all who know of and appreciate
^Eolian enterprise and energy. The prog-
ress of the ^Eolian Co. is much in the
nature of a continuous triumph.
This is well illustrated in the case of the
Pianola, which has taken a firm hold on
public estimation. Although first brought
to notice a comparatively short time ago,
it is now to be found in every state, strong-
of individuals
ly entrenched in the fav
and households. Many
past standing practically unused,
brought into active serv pe, and made to
respond with accuracy atid
the calls of numerous well-known 1
composers.

Company had its articles of incorporation

George W. Harrison, George H. Smyth,
Jr., and Duncan T. McLaren are the in-
corporators.
Prosperity's Wave.
Reports received by State Factory In-
spector O'Leary from his deputies clearly
indicate that the wave of prosperity and
improvement in trade conditions in this
State is still moving along steadily and
very satisfactorily. The report year of the
department begins on December 1st, and
for the months of December, 1898, and
January and February, 1899, the records
filed by the inspectors show a total of
9,600 inspections made by them. Of this
number 373 were found to be new firms in
business and 100 were old firms who had
resumed business. It was found that 1,119
firms increased the number of their em-
ployees. The total increase of employees
from all causes is 13,352. Only twenty-
seven firms were reported as working over-
time and twenty working double time.
The extra hours of labor worked were
