BUSINESS

The New York papers are printing ex-'
tended trade articles, giving the results OF
inquiries among the leading merchants o.
that city. These, without exception, pro
nounce the business condition and outlook
as satisfactory as could be desired. I'm
proyement obtains in every branch of trade,
and the basis of this improvement is DEEM
ed by the merchants TO he sound and sub
stantisl, hence 10 justify them in holding
that the better times, ALREADY come, will
long remain with the people. Among the
more hopet1l signs prominent are the facts
tina: the demand is general for better class
of goods at better prices, and that in many
instances prices are establishing themselves
at more reasonable profit to the manu-
fscturer, and are paid with less hsggling by
the buyer. The general tone Of the market
is reported to be more healthy. Purchas-
ers are more careful in their choice Of
stock, and more prompt in their payments.
The increased demand is happily equsled
by increased confidence in commercial
credits, ind the whole spirit and tendency
OF trade are regarded "a favorable TO the
realization of the brightest and most cheer
ful anticipstions. What is true of New
York is true of every other city and town
in the country. All sections share in the
improvement Of affairs and the conss ouen,
restoration of confidence and hope.
The Boston Head of Saturday devotes
nearly page to reports of conversations
with the merchants and manufacturers of
its city. The former say that business is
very lively, with advancing prices, while
the latter claim that orders are coming in
faster than they can fill them. The i'm
provemen. is specially noticeable in iron
implements and fabrics.

Hon. NJ. J. Parrot, OF Leavenwortb,
Ksasas, died at lakewood on Saturday af-
ternoon, at the residence OF his sister, Mrs
Judge Mathews. About two years ago he
realized his health to be declining, and
concluded to visit relatives in this city.
He had not been here more than three
months when he received = stroke OF par
alysis, which almost deprived him OF the
power of speech. He was removed to the
Sanitarium, a, College Hill, where he re-
mained six months, having the very best
medical attention and skillful nursing,
which proved of no avail to restore him
to health. He was brought back to Oak.
wood, where the kind hands Of a loving
mother and devoted brothers and
sisters administered to his wants
and in every possible way aided in
alleviating his ssuferings until death came
to his relief. His funeral was private, NO
public announcement being made, and
only his relatives and intimate friends at
tending. His four nephews, Thomas and
Maxwell Gsddis and George and Edwin
Mathews, acted az psll-bearers at the
funeral. TIE religious services were con-
