The Turu In the Tide.

The Philadelphia Record states that
the hotel registers Of that city show an
increase Of at least one-third over last
yea, In tho number OF buyers arriving.
The railroads, which may be not inaptly
termed the "wsather gauges" Of trade,
also report an enormous increase. The
amount Of freight offered to the Penn
sylvania railroad Is no great that they
have ,sot enough rolling stock to trans
port II. More -four. grain and meats ara
passing over the road than ever before.
On tho Reading railroad the freight
shipments for February we're largely in
excess OF the same month in 1873.
Railroad men say the trade prospect
for the next three months is brighter
than for any time since the war.
Iron Is booming along. The demand
is for more taan cAu b. Supplied, and
manufacturers are refusing orders for
delivery three months hence at present
quotations. Old stocks Of pig iron are
ra pidly clearing ou:, and new furnaces
are daily lighted; consequently there
are advancing prices and healthier
tone to coal and relative interests.
So that, with an increase in buyers,
with railroads offered more than they
can handle, iron advancing in price, and
last months sales showing heavy in
creasss, there is good evidence that the
tide has turned.

After number OF pasuccessful ex-
periments, the Market street railway
company in Philadelphia has again in
troduced steam power on its line. The
motor differs from any it has hereto
fore used, being only about one-half
the size of those formerly employed.
Although the former steam power was
withdrawn, the experiment demonStrat-
ed that steam was cheaper tkan horse
power. 1t is to bs hoped that some
motor will speedily be found that will
do away with the use Of horses on street
car lines. No man or woman that has
ever ridden in street car can help
pitying the poor brutes that pass their
lives in dragging the over-ladrn coaches
over the rough city roads. There is,
perhaps, more unintentional cruelty to
animals through this means than by
all others combined, and all who wish
to see the horse freed frem this cruel
and ignoble position must wish for some
substitute that will work out his emsu-
cipation.
