THE BUSINESS SITUATION.

From this Weeks Nation New York
The most prominent features of the
industrial situation are still the same as
they have been tor several months, viz:
over-production and consequent declin-
ing prices, resulting in an increase of
business failures. During the past week
the failures have been in the leather trade,
which has heretofore escaped the general
liquidation and reimbursement of credits
which had already been experienced in
the iron and cotton trades. The greatest,
in fact the only great, element of danger
in the general commercial situation at any
time, is the excessive expansion of credit,
based upon the presumed value of com
modities for which there is no market at
the presumed price. The failures. in the
past year, but more particularly in the
last month or two, Lave removed this
element of danger from the general bust
ness situation, ard have compelled
contraction of the lines of credit in nearly
all businesses. The only element of dis
quietude remaining is the dissatis-
faction of labor; but the general decline
in the prices Of all labor products will
necessarily cause a proportionate reduc
ton in wages. The money market CON
Times over burdened with unemployed
money, which is offered for loan on col
lateral security at rates extraordinarily
low The situation as regards capital is
very much as it was year after the panic
of 1878, the result of which, at least, was
"A great advance in the prices of all I'M
doubted securities. The apprehensions of
interference with the general railroad
traffic of the country as result of the
teiegraphers strike have had depressing
effect upon prices of stock during the last
week the fall ranging from J to 4 per
cent the latter on Wabash. One of the
prominent and abnormal features of the
financial situation continues to be the high
er rates of interest for money in London
than in New York. The balance of trade
is acknowledged to be largely in favor of
the United States, and yet the difference
in the rates for money prevents the move
ment of gold to this country, and sustains
the rates for sterling exchange.

A little story was told us by lady
lately aboard, which illustrates the NOR
al obtuseness that is sometimes seen in
the fair sex when they covet the goods
of their neighbors which they cannot
obtain legitimately. The teller of the
story was in Rome and had by much
trouble and care collected large mum
Der of photographs of persons and places
which she wished bound up with the
letter-press of favorite work of fiction,
For that purpose she went to Roman
shop and left her book aud photographs
TO be bound, while she went on visit to
Naples. On her return, the man of the
shop who was German by the way,
Informed her that through the careless
ness of his boy the book had been lost
after binding, and he was very much
troubled both at the loss and, being a
poor man, at having to make it good to
his customer Though rather discouraged,
the lady duplicated her former collection,
and succeeded in getting into the form
that she wished without further mishap
Soon after, when showing the volume to
q friend in Paris, she was told that Mrs.
Blank, an American lady of considerable
social position, had the same volumes,
illustrated in the same way, and on fur

A HOTEL THIEF.
Three Watches and 800 Stolen From Gorham
House Guests Last Night.
Burlington Gazette.

Burlington Gazette.
The most daring and successful THE
very that has been chronicled for some
time, occurred at the Gorham House,
Friday night where rooms were entered
while the occupants were asleep and
quantity of valuables taken. The per
petrator and the manner of the theft are
briefly described as follows: Soon after
the arrival of the RS train a well
dressed young man came into the office,
registered in round hand as " Chas. w
Wells, Chicago, Ill, and was assigned to
room 30. Before retiring he inquired
when the first train left for Chicago, and
being told that two early trains went east
he inquired il breakfast could be served
in time TO make the $40 train. Being
assured. that it would, he paid for his
lodging asked to be called in
time and was shown to his room.
In going up stairs he asked the porter to
show him the ladies' water closet, which
was done. Between two and three o'clock
this morning, the night clerk saw Wells
coming down stairs, holding his hands on
his stomach, and as he reached the foot
of the stairs, he asked the clerk where
the water closet was. The clerk pointed
in its direction, but instead of going there
Wells ran out the north door, making
some unintelligible remark in passing,
and since then has not been seen. This
morning his strange actions were made
plain, when three of the guests discovered
that their gold watches and all their cash,
about hundred dollars were gone The
keys showed marks of the kuippers, used
in turning them in the lock, which was
the means used to get into the rooms.
TIE report of this loss reminded two
other guests that during the night, some
one came into their room which caused
them to waken, and the intruder excused
himself by saying he was looking for the
water closet Had they slept as soundly
as others, the thief would have added
considerable to his booty. The officers

wished to buy the volumes left there. to
be bound, and which were then ready
for the owner. The shopkeeper told her
they were not his and refused to part
with them, until she declared she would
countermand her order and buy nothing
from him unless he would sell her those
particular volumes and tell the owner he
had lost them At last, rather than lose
a profitable trade, he did so, and the books
now repose among the valued mementoes

were notified early this morning and the
departing trains watched, but Wells got
away and will practice the daring game
again when his funds run out. He is de-
scribed as medium sized young man,
smooth face, brown tweed coat and well
dressed and genteel looking. The fellow
was evidently an expert, as the success
of his exploits will amply testify, and
must be desperate, daring fellow, as it
is well known that travelling men are al
ways armed and prepared for nocturnal
visitors
