THE CONDITION OF TRADE.

Somewhat Impeded by the Severe Cold and Storms of the Past Week A Feeling of Confidence in an Early Improvement.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Seyeral telegrams to
 Bradstreet s report check in the distribu- tion of merchandise throughout the country during the earlier portion of the week carried by the severe storm of snow and which has been general. This appears to have been universally recognized as tenn porary obstruction and the feeling among leading bankers and merchants at almost all points continues one of confidence in the prospects of business for an improvement early in the current year. As an outgrowth of the conditions it is added that country collections in many cases are reported slow, to the holding back of produce the part of farmers or to low prices therefor when sold The demand for funds at many of the larger interior cities is smaller than in recent weeks. Dry goods prices are unchanged though the total quantity has been materially lessened. Larger orders for prints are eG- pected. The price of 6-4's is now 314c, having had an upward tendency for ten days past Brown and bleached cotton goods are demand is reported better. The job ping trade at Chicago is not expected to improve until milder weather sets in~ Wool is frmer and prices are well held owing to the light interior stock and rel atively small supplies at the seaboard mar kets. At the latter the sales are moderately large. Cotton is frmer, spots being E per cent. and futures about ten points higher. This is based apparently on the renewed short crop talk, backed by decreased port and interior town receipts and by stronger for eign cables. Wheat has had to suffer an- other season of shrinkage in prices, due in great part to & fuller comprehension of the enormous supplies in sight at leading mar kets on both sides of the Atlantic. The gain in exports based on the decline did not serve to stiffen prices, as English quotations went off in the fear that America was about to unload its surplus wheat. The decreased de- iveries at western primary markets on account of the snow and storm, and the decline of about seven hundred bushels in the weekly visible supply, failed to sustain the market, which has been more active at the decline. There appears to be less confidence in permanently higher prices for wheat than before. Other grains have sympathized with the depression in wheat. Hog products, too, went off in prices, but subsequent ly rallied on increased speculative buying The movement of grocery staples is restricted and there is no change respecting dairy productions. The advance in bar iron prices agreed on at Philadelphia is warranted owing to the increased cost of raw material. Pig iron shows new features. The ad vance of thirty cents per ton in railway fire 0lep to partially check free shipments in this di rection

Death From A Malignant PustuIe.

WILMINGTON, Del, Jan. 15.-On Saturday last Albert Soaring, bookkeeper for Charles Mullin, a morocco manufacturer of this city, noticed a pimple on the upper part of his right arm. It was rather painful and resem- bled erysipelas. Although physician YVES consulted Searing's arm began to swell until on Monday, when matters began to look seri- ous. On Tuesday afternoon the man died from what the physicians declared was a ma lignant pbstule. It is supposed that Soaring while handling hides scratched a pimple on his arm and inoculated himself, as the sore mbled very much vaccination that was "taking we'll" It is supposed the cause of death was from an animal poison secreted in hide taken from diseased animal. The affliction which is known malignant pustule or anthrax is terrible malady, caus- ing many deaths, ninety per cent. of those inoculated dying. Soaring was forty six years of age. His body was taken to Ar l;rgton, N. J., where his family live.

Night Inspector George J. Hitler was busy with his duties in the customs service at the end of Long Wharf shortly after mid night last night when thirty or more of the poung Democrats of the First ward dropped in on him inquiring for oysters.

A Great Victory A Terrible Case of ScrofuIa
 Cured by
 Hoods SarsapariIIa

"In the winter of 1879 was attacked with Scrofula in one of the most aggravating forms. At one time I had no less than thirteen large abscesses over and around my neck and throat, continually exuding an offensive mass of bloody matter disgusting to behold, and almost intolerable to endure. It is impossible to fully describe my sufferings, as the case was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After three years of misery, having been treated by three physicians, I was worse than ever. Finally, on the recommendation of W. J. Huntley, druggist, of Lockport, was induced to try Hoods Sarsaparilla. And now, after having taken twelve bottles, within the last twelve months, the serofulous eruptions have ensrely ceased, and the absceSses have all disappeared, except the unsightly scars, which are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and beautifully 1esS.'

A CURIOUS STORY.
A White Exile Saves His Life by Relating
Fairy Tales to South Sea Islanders.

A White Exile Saves His Life by Relating
Fairy Tales to South Sea Islanders.
There is a tale told of a sea Captain
| who, in a distant corner of the South
ern seas, visited an undiscovered or UNI
explored group of beautiful islands.
After landing and trading with the
gentle natives he was astonished by
the visit of a white man. evidently a
person of means and consequence,
who, after making himself very agree
able, implored the Captain to give him
a s%tory-book, if he had such a thing in
his possession. The Captain had, and,
deeply touched by the pigs and cocoa
nuts which the white exile had given
him, bestowed upon him a copy of the
"Arabian Nights Entertainments.
Overcome by the present, the exile
burst into tears, and cried: you
have saved my life, and given me rank
and wealth." On explanation, he said:
II should have long been eaten, but
while they were fattening me I learned
enough Of their language to tell q child
the story of Little Red Riding-Hood'.
The child repeated it, and the whole
population were mad with joy. They
had never heard a story before. From
that day I became a great and honored
man. When they had a national fes-
tival I sat on top of a hill and thousands
wept (while ONE elderly relative was
being cooked for a feast) at the cruel
death Of the grandmother as caused by
the wicked wolf. l had with me a vol
ume of Fairy Tales, and o o began
to set a price on my performances.
