CONDITION OF TRADE
lee sArIsEAoroRY TnAN USUAL



NEw loRE, April Especial telegrsms
to BradStreef' report less satisfactory
condition Of general trade than last week,
due in large part to the continuation OF
the strikes at various industrial centres,
as we'll as to interruption to railway trai.
licinthe southwest, Floods in the Cen.
tral, Southern and Western States have
helped to depress trade through a dsstruc,
ton Of bridges and OVERLOOKING country
roads.
AT the large Eastern cities the volume OF
merchandise moving ia OF only moderate
proportions, At Western centres the de-
lnsndS are quite as much for nearby
wants Rs they were q week ago.
SITUATION IN GENERAL,
In general It may be stated that the pro.
gress made thus far during 1886 has hssn
disappointing, though at Chicago and
some other cities the total sales Of staple
goods for the first quarter OF 1886 are said
to fully equal those Of the frat quarter In
1855. Bad roads are very generally re.
ported throughout the country and COL
leettons from interior traders are slow, In
Kansas aud Missouri collections ara not
expected to improve until the new crops
are gathered aud sold. Money Is In only
lair demand at most points. Improve
ment In general ia mentioned at st, Louis
and Kansas City, due to the resumption
of traffic there.
The iron industry continues depressed
by the, check TO industrial enterprises,
caused by strikes, as well as through the
enhanced cost Of fuel for furnaces.
THE INDUSTRIAL SITUATION,
The industrial situation Ia better in
spite Of the prolongation OF the fight by
the railroads against the Knights OF Labor
at the West. The knitting mill strikes at
.!Oohoes and New Britain, Connecticut, the
boot and shoe strike at Beverly, Massa-
chnsetts and that among the suit makers
at New York, have largely disappeared,
putting 10000 operatives at work and
cutting down the total striking from $1,000
to $4,000 within week. There is, how
ever, possibility OF another outbreak at
Oohoes.
Light consumpive demand Continuesto
depress sugar prices, but mild Coffees are
higher. Only fair sales OF dry goods are
reported, the movement being smaller.
Stocks In frat hands are small and prices
with Q few exceptions are firm. Prints
are off 1.10.

The wheat market is only moderately
firm despite the freer sales for export.

So far the reports oidrowning in various
portions Of the State foot up nine persons,
all Colored but one. -Four Of these were a
woman and three children in cabin on
the Alabama river, IL floating Oft with
them.
Railroad communication Is intact 10
New Orleans via Mobile, and with New
York and the East via Macon, There is
no communication South by the Louis
Vile d Nashville, or to Atlanta by the
Western railroad. The officers hope to
work through by making transfers to-day
or tomorrow.
The water Is two feet deep at tho Union
depot and from there TO the Alabama river
bridge Of the South and North road Is an
almost continuous sheet Of water. Trains
from Mobile and Macon arrive and depart
at points hall mile or more from the
depot.
DEATH TRoM RAILWAY ACCIDENT.
AspsCial from opellka says that John.
son Bridgsr, engineer Of the construction
train, which went down on the Tallapoosa
river, died after his leg was amputated.
Six hands on the same train had already
died or been drowned.
Selma has no connections with the out.
side world by rail, The flood throughout
the State is unprecedented, reaching here
six feet above the highest mark ever
known. The ice factory, water works,
soap works and gas works, electric light
works, fertilizer works, iron foundries, oil
mills, railroad shops and freight depot ol
the Western and Central railroad stock
yards, all have several feet Of water In
them. In most Of them the damage will
be confined TO machinery. The only IL
Elimination in the city Is by candles and
oil. Viewed of the dome OF the capitol,
the highest point in the city, is a lake oi
water to the north and west fully 10 milea
square.
Theriver hasfallen about sixteen inches.
Boats have been distributing food all day
throughout the inundated parts Of the
city. Several hundred persons. mostly
negroes, have been water.bound for two
days without food. Reports from differ
ent points near here to-day show that five
negroes have been drowned. The steam
ferry boat left here to-day, going up the
river TO pick up all persons In danger and
supply the suffering.

fhe Great Stay OF Hinduism I'rai,uifns

boston Herald BOOK ReviewI
The great stay of Hinduism and the chief
protection against its downfall IS caste. 1t
Is the basis upon which the entire fabric is
securely reared Without this obstacle the
instinct and reason OF men would find 4 way
out of tie superstition. But under the
existing system the distinction OF caste and
the inherent superiority of one class over
the three others are thought 10 DC as much
law Of nature and matter of devine ap-
pointI.ent the creation Of seperate
classes OF animals, with insurmountabla
differences OF physical constitutions
Tic four cardinal tastes are the Brah-
minis, or priests, who sprang from the
mouth OF Brahma; the Kshatriyas or war
riors, from his arms; the Valsyas, or farm
CTS and merchants, from his thighs; and
tho SUdras, or servants and labor
ers, from his feet Below these
the Pariahs, or outcasts,
whose vocations are the most seryile. These
divisions, established by the earliest laws of
the Hindu faith, rule supreme or unqueS-
toned The caste 10 which tho father be
longs is hereditary with the child, and Iy
no effort, virtue or ability can "a higher one
be obtained. The Brahniins constitute the
great central body, around which all other
classes and orders of things rcvoIvc like sat
elites. They are invested with divine dig
nifty and bound by strict rules, and the
other classes made powerleSs for resist
ance by equally stringent rules. A violation
Of caste subjects the offender to acts Of pen
ance or publication, and to become a con-
vert To another's faith implies complete and
painful ostracism This explains why there
are only a0O native Christians at
Benares, amid q population OF nearly $4,000.
The chief feature of the patched, per-
verted and complicated faith held
by the HindUs seem to be n CANDY ritual to
appease angry deities. 1t has 10 eternity,
