THE BOSTON BUSINESS BOOM.

Boston is by no means behind in her
reports of a business boom. The follow
ing is a summary of an extended and
detailed statement of the condition of
trade in her various branches of busi-
ness.
The Hruh for several lays past has
been among the various trades, inqulr-
ing into their business and Canvassing
with them the prospects ola future good
trade, with a view of aSCertaining what
progress was actually making, had been
made, and was likely to be made, in the
general business OF our industries. tits
safe to say that in most of the trades
visited every one seemed jubilant. The
great revival which has taken place in
the last two months-nOtably since
the first oil September, seems TO
be like revolution to many
business men. As one gentle
man in the railway-supply trade said
it seems more like the rush OF business
which prevailed during the war than
anything else. In most of the various
branches OF the iron trade things are
booming. The manufacturers were
caught with very small stocks of iron
on hand, and are unable to fill one-hali
of the orders that are pressed upon
them. Many Of our Shrewd jObbers
stocked up heavy with iron manufac-
lures when they could be purchased
almost below cost of production, and,
when the rise came, found themselves
richer by very many thousands OF dol
lars. The West has sprung into almost
preternatural activity, and, instead OF
ITS iron men coming INTO our market To
Compete with ours with their products,
they are put TO the seyerCst strain 10 fill
local orders. They have, also, taught
our manufacturers a lesson OF enterprise
bv coming to this market and practically
cleaning it out of its stock of scrap iron,
old rails, etc. Our manufacturers are
waking up to realization OF this when
it is too late. In copper, brass and yell
low metal manufactures, trade is on the
Jump, so to speak, and man
ufacturers have lately advanced their
prices about 10 per cent. The
advance in the price OF copper,
and metals that are combined with It
for brlsses, hrOnZses, etc has induced
manufacturers 10 mark up prices The
advance in ingot copper to nineteen
cents a pound, and the prospect of a
still greater advance, will start up many
of the Lake Superior copper mines
which have been idle for years, into ac-
tivity and give them season of pros
perity. In our dry goods trade there is
what may be called rush. Manufac-
turers find it difficult to fiji orders, and,
in many cases, where peculiar lines of
goods are demanded, customers are
forced to wait Our large jObbing houses
are doing an immense business; one OF
the leading houses in that trade, that
last year made sales to the amount OF
Sl3,0OO,OOO, will sell S2O,OOO,OOO worth
this year.

The revolt against vaccination in England Is
growing In strength. Two newspapers de-
nounce the practice. 1t Is held that vaccination
Is not certain preventive Of smallpox and is
frequently the cause of consumption, cancer
and other ineradicable diseases One eminent
physician suggests with impressive indefinite
ness that the description which he might give
OF victims ruined by vaccination would cause
the blood to stand still In ones veins, and
would, IL Is presumed, erect the hairs of ones
head like the quilts OF the fretful porcupine,
An Austrian physician denounces the
practice In phrases full OF sound, like
those In which the polysyllablc Beaeons-
field expressed his opinion of Gladstone. He
takes long breath and pronounces an
opinion which concludes with the assertion
"that vaccination is the greatest mistake and
delusion In the science Of medicine; fancIful
Illusion In the mind of the d1scoverer: a phe-
nominal apparition, devoid OF scientific founda-
lion, and wanting In all the conditions of scien.
t1nc possibility" For all that. smallpox does
not rage among the vaccinated IS an epidemic.
While nearly one-half OF the cases were mortal
before the Introduction OF the practice, the
mortality now is only abont one-sixteenth. So
that the world In general Is likely to retain
vaccination to escape the smallpox evil, which
II sees and breads, content to brave the posi-
Die cancer and consumption which It knows
not of.

the Prince himself has appeared In the House
OF Lords and has urged the passage OF such a
measure. The novelty OF the occasion, the rank
of the speaker, and the overwhelming dignity

alton, must have made the scene one to be re-

Of opening the public libraries in New York city

Is q growing demand for the opening OF libra

He says he viii not be candidate for Governor,

The bill to allow savings banks to invest In
3-65 District of Columbia bonds was lost In the
New York Assembly yesterday. The New
York Post says "the opposition to it was
widespread, and was based on the belief that
investment In these bonds could not be made
with profit, even II there was no question as to
the validity of the bonds.' This Is curiously
at variance with the estimate of the bonds
