your conduct yesterday in appearing before

BUSINESS MArrERs.
The Tide of Trade Flowing Briskiy
lailnfe hecOrd.

New YoRL, August 3i.-In their weekly
report Dun & Co. say that the busi-
ness Of the country is flowing with pret.
ty full tide through its accustomed channel
Is indicated by the steadiness with
which the figures showing bank exchanges
at the chief centres are maintaining. With
depression in several branches OF trade
and only a moderate activity in most de-
partments OF speculation it is rather sur
prising than otherwise THAI these figures do
not show q marked decline.
The trade OF this week has presented no
new features in dry goods. There is mod
crate activity though and prices are very
low in consequence of over production.
Grain, provisions, cotton and petroleum
have all declined more or less, but the re-
duCtions in the values on the whole have
not been large. The stock market has con-
tinued weak and dull, the expected activity
fer the recent collapse having apparently
been postponed, though there is reported
to be steady buying for investment OF good
securities that are now very cheap. Money
is still easy and banks continue to report
large surplus. In speculative circles 40.
tiyity has been wanting, but go far as the
legitimate trade Is concerned the outlook
continues to be encouraging.

TnE Grafton Sentinel, speaking Of the ap-
p,ip,nrent Of Rev. Conrad 4. Sipe to be
pfncipa Of the Normal School at Fair

The Board was intent upon having q
man Of National reputation as an educator,
WHO could give 10 the school his personal
presti.c combined with great experience.
This motive might have been very COM
mepiabIp, even iu the face Of the fact that
O ali The professors TO whom the place
Ma offered, it was first ascertained II he
stood "all right" politically. Among the
faculty OF the institution was a man who
bad several years connection with the
school, and at leas: one years experience
"a principal. lie gave satisfaction in every
respect, but the Board seemed not to be
aware Of the fact. During the difficulty IN
