Trade Improving-Snles in Excess OF the Corr
responding Period, 1885.
INDIANAPOLIS, April "a.
The volume of business in the week closing to-
day shows decided improvement over that of
the week preceding. and Is really in excess of
that at the corresponding period, 1885, although
the volume of business is by no means SO
large as it would be but for the unfavorable con-
ditions in a number of the commercial
centers which arise from labor troubles.
Then again. commercial and industrial enter
prise is unsettled by the existing conditions of
affairs because of the narrow margin upon which
business operations are conducted. The disturb
ance of this delicate adjustment, which is the
result OF keen competition and small profits,
may deprive capital of It's reward, and throw an
unexpected favorable balance over to the side of
absolute loss. The cost of material and labor,
the hours that constitute days work, the ability
to make deliveries at specified sime, the rates
of freight and facilities for transportation, are
all elements that have to be taken into consider
alton in naking contracts, and whatever tends to
render any or all OF these in any sense uncertain
results IN conservatism and hesitation in en-
barking in fresh transactions. This is
the reason that business is slow and
the revival of activity halts. and yet,
in spite Of these embarrassments, the
actual movement of merchandise is large, there
has been no absolute check to consumption, sup
plies are nowhere accommodating, and available
stocks in the hands of manufacturers and selling
agents bear no comparison with what they were
year ago at this time Confidence has not been
shaken, there is no feeling of distrust respecting
the actual prosperity Of the country, and the flu.
ture outlook is far from discouraging, but there
is enough in the present unsettled condition Of
labor throughout the country to make business
men conservative and to avoid any expansion of
the current volume of trade. Locally there were
no fluctuations IN values to-day calling for spe-
cial mention. The advance in sugars IS checked
yet the future of the market depends much ON
the adjustment of the strike at the reiineries

Massachusetts railways are increasing the pay
of their locomotive engineers In that State a
majority Of the engineers are paid so much per

1t is gossiped from Philadelphia that the Penn
sylvania dividend to be declared this week will
be per cent per cent in cash and 2 per cent
in scrip.
The number of employees on the car lines OF
New York city who are more or less involved in
the strikes aggregates 5000 It is also estimated
that the average number OF patrons who ride
daily rain or shine, is about 2l5,000.
The advance in freight rates to California by
the Atchison was a forced necessity. 1t got so
choked up with business by its ridiculousy
low rates that it could not move it. and no re-
course was left but to stop receiving. 1t has
adopted the present cut rate of the Southern
Pacific which was above the Atchison's very low
rate.

THE TERRIBLE CAR-SToyE.-The story
Of the shocking accident nj Rio shows again
the terrible work Of the car-stoye. There
was a coal-stoye in the passenger-ccach.
The shock scattered Its glowing contents
through the car, and In an instant the
bighly-in1ammsble woodwork was blazing.
In there had been no coal.stoye there
would have been no fire. and II there had
been no fire many lives that were lost would
have been saved.
There is nothing new about this acct
dent. In many other railroad collisions
and wrecks the coal-stove has had its vic
tins.
The coal-stoye and the kerosene-lamp
should be excluded by law from railroad
passenger cars.
The passenger-car OF to-day Is Under
box. Highly-seasoned wood, with oil aud
varDish, make IL as infammable as a
bundle OF kindling soaked in benzlne.
And in this Undertook the company puts
human beings and mass Of glowing Goals,
knowing that a collision or derailment will
break open the cylinder that contains the
Goals and scatter them from one end OF the
car TO the Other.-Ne,o York. Times.
The Times says much more; and all it
says is true. Human beings should not
thus be dragged to a horrible death.
We add that DR.. W. LEIGH BURTON, OF
this city, years ago invented apparatus for
heating cars by the friction OF their wheels.
when the car stopped there would OF
course be no more heat generated. We
once saw the Doctor try what seemed to us
to be a successful experiment with his
"machine." We know not what it lacks.
II seemed to us 10 be better than stOye.heat-
ing or stesm.hesting, which latter scalds
people TO death.
