THE peculiar denomination of Dunkards
or Dunkers has Just closed its National
convention in Oakland, o. Itwas attended
by from twelve to fifteen thousand breth-
rem, as they call themselves. The sect is
a peculiar one. q kind of combination of
Baptist and Quaker. 1t was founded in
170s by Alexander Mack, a German, and
the name comes from the German verb
htnhen, to dip. They have been disre-
spectfully called Tumblers, because they
have a convert get upon his knees at bap-
tism and plunge him head foremost
completely under the water. The sect
was driven by persecution from Germany
into Holland and emigrated, bodily, to
America between I7I9 and 1T29, settling
in Pe~nnsyIvan mia, They have spread from
that State to Ohio. Indiana, Maryland and
Virginia. They believe in simplicity in

TIM consular reports for May not yet
printed, are to contain extended state
ments from our representatives, in many
of the European countries, IN American
pork abroad. The testimony is universal
that, on all hands, the danger from
[trichina and from the flesh of animals,
which had had hog cholera, wa grossly
exaggerated, in some cases by spectators,
and in other cases by producers unable to
compete in q fair way. Hardly asingle
genuine a of trichinosis from eating
American pork was found on the CONT
nent or in England. In Germany a strict
government inspection is made of all
meat offered for sale, and though native
hogs are frequently rejected, because
of parasites, no American pork has
yet been SO refused. The conditions in
which hogs are kept in the United States
are more favorable to health than in Ger
many. There they are wholly confined,
fed on slops and offal, grass and millet,
while in the great hog raising States of
the West they are allowed the range, with
the air and exercise which nature de-
msnds, and if at last put in q pen to fat
ten, they are mainly fed or corn. James
Russell Lowell anticipates no further un-
favorable excitement in England, and MI.
Noyea looks for q speedy revocation of the
order prohibiting the importation of
American pork products into France. He
thinks it will be reversed within month.
An inspection at all ports will probably be
substituted.

The wool circular of Walter Brown &

us the following advices ;nregard to the
condition and prospect of the market:
Since the first of the month the i'm.
.provement intimsted in our monthly Cir
.cular has been FULLY established. The last
ten days show . largely increased business,
with q gradual hardening in prices, which
enables US to advance Quotations on an
average OF about one cent per pound.
The advance In Eastern markets, how.
ever, has not been SO rapid asin the grow
ing districts. The fever that SO frequently
gets hold of the wool buyer and local
Spectator at the present writing Seems to
be an epidemic that has spread over the
entire wool growing district where the

While we still cOrroborate the opinion

would be q fair margin in favor of ship.
ments to Eastern markets, We must eau
ton local spectators against excitement
in buying, and advise them to use iudg-
ment and discretion in their selection Of
Woola.
On the present basis of quotations, We
believe that buyers are safe in operating
freely, and that while there may be some
slight fluctuations during the next few
months, the average of values will proba-
bly, be In their favor. But regarding the
extent of the advance, although the ten
dency is now toward higher values, it is
impossible to predict the future with any
certainty.
Wooden goods show q liberal movement
since the LIST inst, with rather a better
feeling as regards prices. The indications
point to q large and healthy trade during
the summer and fall.

Over 81, 300, OOO, 600 of money now
circulates in the United States, and
an increase of upwards 100000, 900
has been added during the past eleven
months. The bank circulation in
creased five millions in April, and will
show a still larger increase this month.
The production Of gold is set down at
$50 900 per month, and this is added
to the volume, while a large influx OF
gold from Europe during the past two
years has contributed $234,O00,00O to
our circulating medium. What to do
with all this money is a question
asked by its owners The liberal sup
ply of idle capital seeking investment
in all the leading financial circles has
caused a gradual shrinkage of interest
rates, until, according to the idea of
many, money is the cheapest article in
market. No man in the country
need go strolling about at the
present time with no money in
his pocket, provided he can offer
any kind of convertible security. In
eastern cities government bonds or
stock collaterals will secure short
loans at 2 to 3 per cent. Here the rate
of interest is 6 per cent on commercial
Endorsement. All the cities of the
west are equally flush. In this con-
nection it may be well to mention that
the money now in circulation in this
country includes $500, OOO, 900 in gold,
1913, 600, 900 in silver, $346,681 900 in
legal tender notes, 1851 sol ,342 in
