THE TRADE LOOKOUT

The New York Indicator, a shrewd OBJ
server Of financial events, does not take quite
the rose-hued view OF things some Of the pa
pers present. 1t does not regard the last
weeks bank statement as a cheerful docu-
ment, but while allowing tina: at this season
of the year reserves usually fall low, ii adds
that generally when this occurs it is accom-
panied by activity of trade. Yet thus far
trade gives no encouraging sigp, while money
takes itself from sight and the Clearinghouse
exchanges for the week are not a cheerful
showing, being twenty-five per cent. below
what they were the corresponding week last
year. Trade, the Indicator considers to
be far from satisfactory, while the prospects
of early improvement are not encouraging.
After the crops are moved 10 the seaboard
falling off is expected in railroad earn
ings as compared with last year, from a
lighter movement OF goods and the decline
of immigrant arrivals. Attention is
aroused by feature in railroad matters that
makes capitalists observsnt and investors
grave and apprehensive. The earnings have
been large for the past three years, yet on
nearly every important road in the country
there has been an increase in the mortgage
Indebtedness. Dividends have been main
tanned, but earnings have often proved in
sufficient to keep the properties in efficient
condition and pay for needed improvements.
How will this swelling of capital accounts
stand when close competition comes between
rival lines, and the demand for lower rates
is pressing? II is nov realized that for the
last three years trade has been rushed head
long, and now a general settlement
has to come before even as much as a
steady business can be maintained. While
this goes on prices must necessarily fall. AL
ready sellers outnumber buyers, and so il
must be until encouraging appearances for
the future arouses improvement. With an
enormous bulk of railway securities on the
market, the supply daily increasing, pros
pective decrease of railroad earniDgs, and
with diminishing confidence ia the good
faith of railway managers, there is but little
to encourage investors 10 brighten the mar
ket with their presence.

FAILURES.
The Augusiinian FATHERS, OF Lawrence,
Mass, Make a Statement That
Pats Them I'm a
Very Much Worse Condition Than Pre-
vieus Dispatches Lead the Public
to Believe-Other FIops.

LAWRENCE, MASS, March 1.-The Al
gustinisn Fathers make the following 6nan-
cial statement OF the Catholic church in
Lawrence: Liabilities, 100000; personal
accounts, S405 400; interest outs .andiug TO
January, 1888, S31 900; mortgages, $3.50, 900;
total, S567 800. Assets: st. Mary's church
and grounds, 100000; parochial residence,
S33 900; convent and grounds, $4,000; st.
Mary's school and grounds, S65, 900; Immac-
ula;e Conception church, S65, 900; Immacu-
late Conception residence, $4,000; ST. Law
renee church, $50, 900; St. Augustine chapel,
$1,000; cemeteries, $4,000; total, $685., 600
This leaves apparently surplus of SIT 900,
but as the market value of the assets are
much less than the coat there ia deficiency
rather than surplus.
The Augustinian Society's official state
ment causes a depreciation in its affairs. In
accordance with the facts slresdy given most
of the income has been absorbed by the eI.
pesse of maintaining The clergy buildings,
schools, etc., which amounted to $12, 500 an
nuslly, and above all by large sums paid as
interest upon deposits and mortgages, which,
beginning with 1854, amounts TO 1924 900. II
proposes TO pay annually at least $25, 900 Of
the deposits, aud as much more as the en-.
deavors of the members here and elsewhere
can obtain. Ii asks that the depositors for
bear for the time enforcing their claims,
and that the congregations OF the various
churches cooperate with their pastors in
liquidaIing every claim. Three more attach
ments were issued on the church property

nHE CHuRCH AND mAmnaN

That great corruptor Mammon, the White
mans god, is playing very ungodly tricks in
the churches. Where there are "wealihy
congregations" and fashionable congrega-
tions," and "e1thetic congregations" and
congregations that are more concerned about
building fine churches than about the vir.
tues and Christian graces OF those who at
tend them, we can expect nothing better.
A church that seeks TO save souls by the ex-
penditure Of money, instead of by SO letting
its light shine before men that the world see
ing itS good works shall glorify our Father
who is in heaven, is in a defepseess condition
before the onslaught of Mammon. The
treasure the world values becomes also its
treasure, and where the treasure is there the
heart is also. Proof that he who said "Ye
cannot serve God and Mammon," Understood
the nature OF the Church he founded, has
been abundant of late. The Cincinnati mil
lions collected by a bishop from the poor
and absorbed, leaving them struck with yet
deeper poverty; the immense pillaging 3
religious order has made at Lawrence, Mass,
of poor mems and women's little savings;
the swoop of money from Methodist clergy
man on the temptation of a silver mine, all
show what comes when the money changers
have their benches and their bills within ths
very ratings of the Summaries. Churchmen
warn US against the wiles of the devil, does it
ever strike them that the devil can show no
greater subtility than TO creep within the
surplice, and thunder from the altar? Can we
not fancy bis grin as he holds out contribu-
tions 10 the mission funds and book concern es-
Establishments, and prompts the appropriation
Of The poor mans earnings to the building Of
the rich mans temple? Can we not imagine
mis- glee as he sees the mitre, the surplice,
and the solemn black coat biting eagerly al
his bait? When the followers OF the Jewish
carpenter strike hands with Mammon, when
those who shudder 10 dance, aud are Mortified
at a proposition TO take pleasure on Sun
day, are toilipg in the day and bordering in
the night, not that they may get the means
ofliviug but that they may get rich, the Church
is in danger and the Iugersoll's are triumph
ant. aye cannot serve God and Mammon."

THE RAGING OUTLETS.

Our fellow-citizen who has constituted
himself the great exponent of the outlet
theory is unfortunate in his friends. The
very devotees Of his theories, they who shout
with the devotion OF the EphesisnH for
Diana, "Great is Cowdou OF the Outlets,
are unconsciously, but not always innocently,
letting slip sway from them truths that are
utterly destructive OF the outlet theory. 1t
is hard that the captain should be unsuccess-
ful with committees in the national capital,
aud be snubbed by congressional com.
miitee when be points out the very spot for
an outlet 10 feed the B,rrstaria canal and in
crease the value of a cherished spot Of land
on the way, but 10 have his own friends
and adherents letting out telling truths
against the very scheme by which fame
and fortune should be acquired, is hard
Indeed. The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
joined the betraying friends on Wednesday
when il said: "When the Mississippi river
booms, it does not con6ne itself to the work
of securing out the channel in order TO re-
lieve itself of the surplus waters, but pro.
ceeds 10 make outlets, sweeping away arti-
fetal embankments aud other engineering
devices for restraining it. 1t prefers Cow
don's plan 10 that Of Eads." The waters let
out Of their banks are Cowdon's system, the
waters restrained and controlled within their
banks, as in EAds's jetties, comply with the
opposite system. That is hard criticism to
come from Capt Cowdon's main comforter
and patter on the back-the Cincinnati Com
sasre,oI GozeU.

Is CONSUMPTION CONTAGIOUS ?
Enssaaecs sne Co m cation of Dis
ease TO Man from Animals.

New YORK, February 2S-The World re-
ports the third of the Cartwright lectures for
1888, under the direction OF the alumni OF
the College of Physicians and Surgeons,
which was given at Association Hall on
Monday night by DR.. w. L. Befeld, OF
Chicago. The special topic was "The Bacil-
lus tuberculosis and the Contag iousness OF
Consumption" DR.. Bslheld said that the
main stronghold of those who assert that
disease is propagated by bacteria is the we'll
demonstrated fact that the disease known as
anthrax is SO proplgated. This disease has
been epidemic IN Germany, Russia and
France, and spasmodcally in The United
States. In Russis, from 1867 10 1870, there
persisted by it $4,000 domestic animals land
52S human beings. Sheep are especially
liable 10 take and spread it, and it is often
conveyed in their wool. The fact that it
breaks out spsrodIcally is one proof that
the germs retained for long pc
RODS. In one case certain number
Of workmen in certain place in fac
tory, who were working upon particular
kind of horsehair, were attacked with the
disease, while other workmen in the same
factory escaped. This showed that the
fungi had made an incidental excursion into
an unusual place. DR.. Belield cited the
observations made of the spread of tuber-
culous disease among tame animals, and
showed their relation TO the theory of the
spread OF consumption by bacteria, citing
cases where the disease had probably been
communicated by Inhalation, or by inocula-
ton with tuberculous particles. He regarded
it as strong argument fer The probable cor
rectness of the hypothesis of Koch that GER
tain diseases are communicated by bacteria,
that Koch had not yet been detected in
errors of observation. Koch's first discover
les were not made public until after two
years of patient study, experiment and veri-
hcation. So important were they, that
within forty-eight hours they were teIA-
graphed all over the world. DR.. Bsl6eld
said, however, that Koch's conclusions as 10
the contsgiousness of consumption have yet
to be verified by a similar series of careful

NASHVILLE, March 1.-The American says,
editorially: "The long speech of Repre-

attacks the National Board of Health, proves
only that the management of that body
needs reforming and does not touch the
principle upon which the board was created.
1t he will expose and then apply remedy
to the bad management at New Orleans, the
uusanitsry condition of which we took pains
to point out recently, he will gain more
attention for the weak points he has discov-
erod in the othAr direction Whist the peo
pie iu the region Of country exposed to for
eign diseases see, and with great concern, is
the plain fact that proper provision is lack

man attempts TO draw of remark upon this
to the vulnerable features of the National
Board of Health. III the authorities of the
city OF New Orleans and those constituting

those who do not particularly care to have
