The BUSINESS OUTLooK.-In the course
of an extended review of the condition OF
business, the New York Commercial Bul-
lettn remarks:
The various transportation companies,
with but few exceptions, report Il largely
increased business, compared with last
season, with a promising, healthy outlook
for the future. The agents generally
agree that at no time siuce the panic OF

and uumistak.bly good AS it is Just now
Merchants who have been in the city from
all sections have placed their orders with
mach greater confidence than heretofore,
and purchases are more freely made on
an extended basis. AS consequence.
many of the railroad and steamship COM
panies report considerable increase III
The traffic over their lines, varying all the
way from ten to forty per cent, with a
good prospect OF still better business in
the near future. Others, however, report
that they are not doing any larger bust
ness than, or perhaps not quite so much
as, at this time last year. These are

sprung up since that time, thus dividing
the business, and also owing to local
causes. Commissioner Fink, for instance
who has charge of the apportionment OF
all the freight traffic over the trunk lines
and connecting roads, says that the bust
ness by rail this year showed q steady
increase up TO about the end of June,
after which there was falling off on
account of the greater water and outside
line competition. There was a slight
decrease in the volume of traffic over the
railroads both in July and August, but
that does not prove that the business wa:
in any wise lessened. On the contrary,
Mr.. Fink believes that there was consid

nent men who have died from not eating
luncheon. Pitt ruined himself by long
fasts while immersed in political affairs,
obliviOus to all else. If the machine is not
kept well oiled it will surely run down.
When we see men long past middle life
able 10 cope with those in their prime, we
may rest assured that they have not been
negligent of their physical needs. Pitt
died at forty seven; Byron. who played
tricks with his health, at thirty-six; Pal
merston, who began official life nearly as
young as Pitt, but played noble knife
and fork, died in harness at eighty. and
rode twenty miles the day of his death.
And as for Bismarck's appetite. he takes
extraordinary care of it either in peace
or war. Nature is revengeful, and those
who will not take the trouble to please her
may rest assured that they will always
have to pay the penalty.

FROM the silence Of Sir Frederick
Roberts since Monday it is believed to
imply closing in of Gmlzais on the
rear Of his communications. He has
probably removed the fighting, which
impeded his advance to Cabul. There
has been an interruption Of the tcle-
graph line between Peiwar and KIM
rum. This fact points to disturbances
having isolated Schutargarden. 1t is
thought the position of Roberts is rath-
err grave, though there is nothing to
confirm such belief except the absence
Of news. Preparations in Khyber
Pass are rather backward. English
strategy is regarded by adverse crit
les as defective, for the reason that
operations are confined to one line,
which renders communications diff
cult.
