was IN other merchandise. 1t Is especially note-
worthy that imports continue 30 large when
bills to reduce duties materially are under con-
sideration in Congress. The entries OF dry
goods last week were In value considerably
moreithan the amount Withdrawn Tor conSump-
ton, and it may Ss that stocks OF other goods
are also accommodating in anticipation OF
change Of duties
On the other hand, the exports have been
large. The shipments Of cotton reached
$4,000 bales last. week. against 9S,237 Tor inc
corresponding week last year. Since Septem-
her the exports have been larger by. 900
bales than they were during the corresponding
part of the previous crop year. The shipments
of wheat have also been very large, notwith-
standing some recent advance In price, partly
because the foreign demand has Improved ana
partly because the ocean rates have somewhat
declined The great advance In petroleum, II
maintained, would naturally affect the snip
ments of that product, but the tendency OF the
market for provisions has been toward lower
prices. On the whole, tho condition OF foreign
trade would be quito favorable but for the e1-
ceptiopal imports last week. There are very
contradictory statements as to the movement OF
not indicate that the movement Is important.
While the speculation in products continues,
other domestic trade has been comparatively
dull. The stormy weather of last week ac-
counts for this In part but tho condition OF
some important branches of manufacture is I'M
satisfactory. 1t Is reported from Fall kiver
that the question of running the mills on short
time is being considered, because OF the stagna'
ton in the prlnt-cloth market, and correspon-
dent of The Precedence Journal estimates that
the shrinkage IN value of mill stocks during the
mast twelve months has been about 20 per cent.
Iron was dull and weak, but this may be attrip-
uted to the action OF the Senate on the iron
and steel duties. Copper is quiet and steady,
and tin somewhat frmer. But the volume OF
exchanges at New-York was only $73S, OOO,OOO
last week, of which an unusually large proper
ton was due to speculation in stocks. Prob
ably all other transactions did not exceed
$3.50. 900, 900, against $4,000, 900 for the
corresponding week last year. Moreover, an
unusual proportion of the payments must have
been due to the speculation in products. The
sales of cotton amounted to $4,000 bales, OF
which only $500 were for consumption or ex-
uort. The sales Of oil here, ut Bradford ana Oil
City probably exceeded 4O,O0O,OOO barrels.
If it were not for these operations the ex-
changes of last week would doubtless have
been unusually small. Nor can much greater

PLUMBERS rBAr MEAN SrARVATIoN.


The vigorous speech of Major Mckinley
placed before the country reasonings which, of
late years, it has been too customary in politi-
cal circles to overlook. The working people
know that the tariff affects their interests most
powerfully. Manufacturers and mine-owners
know that q change of duty may mean ruin
to them and incalculabe suffering 90 those
whom they employ. But the politicians are
very apt to load their minds with mere theo-
ries so that they fail to realize the pracuca
bearings of the matter Some OF them have
inherited or inbibed ideas which they have
been reiterating year after year at conventions
and In speeches, until they have grown
to think that other people are as msln-
cere about the matter 10 themselves, and
that the whole tariff business is a humbug
because they are humbugs. No other question
now remains, since the restoration OF specie
payments, upon which political action can 80
greatly affect the livelihood of millions of peo-
Die. Yet we have lived 80 long under
protective duties, and prospered so greatly,
that many politicians and some business men
fancy that a change Of duties would not make
any real difference to anybody, excepting to a
few individuals who are called mOnOpOilsts.
For instance, il is often said that the duties
on Steel rails could be greatly reduced without
injury or Injustice. Some reduction HE

MONEY AND BUSINESS.

Last week would have been one OF quite sat-
isfactory progress in business but tor several
failures Of importance. One OF these was
clearly due to the refusal of Congress to act
upon the Whiskey bill, and more remotely to
the great over production of whiskey. Another
was az clearly due to uncertainties In regard to
the tariff. These illustrate the difficulties
under which business labors. The "hiSkey
business, the tobacco business ana the manu-
facturo of fermented liquors. the iron trade. inc
noolen, cotton. silk and lumber trades, all these
and many moro are embarrassed by the I'M
certainty as to Congressional action. 1t would
not be strange If there should be other fail
ures during the coming month, arising from
this uncertainty. although the final action of
Congress should be such as to improve business
in the end. The imports last week were very
large. and less than $1,000 of the Increase
was In dry goods, while nearly $3.OO0.O00

SWindlerS' Use Of a Baby.

The latest style of confidence game
was played on Chicago man who

three young men who boarded the train
at Chicago and left it at some point
unknown to any of the passengers.
The Chicago man had very fine dia-
mond stud adjoining his shirt front
This was not the last thing the CON
fidence men saw, and he was soon
"marked." Shortly after the train left
Springfield one of the young men
walked forward, carrying laughing
baby in his arms. Salutlng one Of las
"pals," the confidence man remarked
what heartless thing it was to abandon
such pretty child. The accomplices
stood up and in few moments
the Chicago man was on his feet
chuck'ng the infant under the chin
and playing peek and tootzie-
wootzie. The little thing laughed in
great e)ee, and the Chicago man
played monkey while the tenn.
porary nurse held up his Charge for
tie admiration of the crowd and incl
dentally passed his hand under the
cMld's clothes and over the Chicago
mans shirt bosom, which was soon re.
lieved of its headlight. The man witt,
the child then started back to get a
drink of water and soon returned the
child to Its mother, from whom the
"nice gentleman" had borrowed it to
show his wife in the next car. Like
all Chicago men, this particular visitor
from the city by the lake ''squoaled,n
and modestly requested that the de-
tective force be laid off for day or
two to hunt up his diamond. On a

and the confidence men had to be re-
leased. The baby escaped.-St. Louis

The Origin OF Scarlet Fever.

a somewhat startling theory Of the
origin of scarlet fever is propounded
by DR.. j. G. Peters, prominent and
influential physician of New York City.
at meeting Of the Columbia Voter
mary College lately DR.. Peters adj
vanced the hypothesis that the scarlet
fever originates among horses, aud
that each case of this disease may be
ultimate ly traced to these animals.
The arguments, facts and data fur
nished to fortify the theory are iormi-
dable, and will go far to convince IN
quirers. Should this discovery be
amp y verified, the time may come
when equine virus must be used for
purposes OF incubation, and the
scourge of childhood may be averted,
as the small pox now is, by skilltul
physicians and surgeons.
