Halloween.

Thursday last. Nov. list, was All Hal
evening previous was as usual observed
as liallowe'e zen, particularly by the boys,
who engaged i'll all sorts of outlandish
FrankS. The manner of celebrating this
festival has woelully degenerated. In
early days it was generally believed that
spirits OF departed friends walked abroad
during the festival of All Saints and that
they would cheerfully impart information
to the young, regarding their future COM
pAnirns for life. In England, later, the
evening was spent in tireside amusements.
Games of various kinds were played re-
lating to the marriage of the young peo-
pie of the party. The modern plan of
celebrating it is by indulgence in all sorts
OF mischief, and frequently considerable
damage is done. Wednesday evening last
seems to have been handed over to the
small boy and lie carried on all sorts of
outlandish pranks, some of them being
really malicious. Fences were literally
torn to pieces, gates carried away and
thrown over fences, and of course broken
more or less. One of the worst tricks
committed was the carrying away guam
tity of corn from a neighboring field
which they scattered about the streets
and threw against doors and windows.
This was no joke at all, and the young
STEERS should be taught this fact

English Markets.

LIVERPOOL, Oct. 26.-The leading
weekly grain circular says that there has
been no noticeable change i'm the wheat
trade during the week. The lowness of
prices promotes steadiness and a desire
among buyers to pick up parcels pressed
for sale. At the provincial markets the
finest samples of English wheat maintain
the late prices. Inferior samples are neg
lected. CargOes off the coast are steadily
held in cargoes on passage. There have
been few forced sales of California, for
cash, at low. figures. To-day's market
was well attended. There was a better
tone for wheat and an improved business
at late rates. Flour was in fair consump-
tive demand at previous figures. In
mixed corn there was fair trade and the
market was slightly easier.

been not little disturbed on subjects per-

a view to benetiting mankind and getting
rid of Satan entirely, the man a few days

teachers of that place and stated that he
wanted him to join him in the advocacy of
an important scheme. When asked to ex-
plain he said: 'FThe Bible and all other

MERCANTILE MATTERS.
Dun & Co. Find Some Hopeful Signs in
the Present State of Trade


NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-The business fail

Canada, as reported to R. G. Dun & Co.'s
Mercantile Agency, number 21S as COM
pared with 243 last week. Nearly half of
these failures occurred in the West and
South.
The agency reports that encouraging
indications as to the improved condition
of business are not wanting in the events
OF the week. The exchanges show a
marked increase in transactions at MANY
points, and though they may be more or
less OF speculative character, the belief
is prevalent that there is good deal of
money-making under the existing cOndi-
tiOns. This is especially so in view
OF the low prices of products and the
numerous securities and generally healthy
tone observable, so far as the absorption of
merchandise by the community is con-
cerned. The money market favOrs in
creased activity and an improved outlook
for business. The arrivals of gold from
abroad, and the low rates prevailing for
iron and raw material of various kinds
offer tempting opportunities for the en-
plOyment of capital which is now living
idle. The demand for merchandise is
keeping up well, considering the lateness
of the season, and jobbers in the dry
goods, grocers, hardware and booth and
shoe trades here, all feel that they have
had fair seasons trade.

they seem to rely upon the ability of
their customers to make good their pay

grain of the past week has been more
tnan recovered, and the market closes
fairly steady at about two cents above
previous rates on wheat, and no material
change in corn. The markets i'm pork and

the half breeds would rejoice at chance
to stab him under the fifth rib.
No regular Republican has the ghost of
chance to be elected in 1884, unless the
Democrats blunder worse than ever before
at the coming session of Congress. Blaine,
who is a trained politician and a keen O5-
server of passing events, has disclaimed
being a candidate for the nomination.
But he keeps in good training all the time,
watching for something to turn up, and
believing the Democrats will trip ON the
road to the White House. Barkis is will

any show of success. Barkis is only
