BUSINESS REVIEW,
Duliness the Feature, but with . Hope
sui Feeling in Every Quarter.

sS' M SuaFttNs
NEw YoRK, March 3l.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weskly review of trade will say: Dullness
i, the feature in business but dullness with
hopeful feeling in almost every quarter.
There il just now so little anxiety about
the money market that little Is said of the
delay of the bond purchase bill by amend
ments IN the Senate, which may possibly
defeat it. The possibility of gold exports
does not seem visbly nearer than it seemed
weeks ago, and considerable purchases OF
securities on foreign account are re-
ported. Money on call at New York
has ruled at 2 to "a per cent and foreign
exchange has declined from 4SS to 49, u.
The more Pacific advices from Europe rem
der the outlook NOR satisfactory. But the
prevailing dulless is everywhere felt. Ma y
feel the influence OF existing or recent
strikes. The railroad difficulty at the West
does not abate. But the feature most
widely observed is the disposition Of
customers to act with great conservatism,
buying only as they are compelled to buy,
and this appears in many of the leading
branches of trade.
1t is in part the fruit Of expectation that
prices may go lower and in part due to per
ception that the demand for consumption
has slackened. and may diminish still more.
The failures of banks or bankers i'll North
Carolina, Mobile and Newburg has caused
no disturbance. though it is recognized that
many weak spots must always be found al
ter a period of extraordinary speculative
activity. Yet, on the aggregate, failures are
not more numerous nor more important
than those of the last or the previous year,
which clearly indicates greater soundness in
legitimate commerce since the number of
failures of speculative origin has increased.
Prices are maintained with remarkable
steadiness For many years it has not hap
pened that the general level OF prices has
changed as little AZ it has during the first
quarter of 1888.
Hard-pau seems to have been reached in
the iron business in the judgment Of one Of
the most successful concerns for the
Thomas Company al last announces $50 as
its contract price for the ensuing year for
best anthracite The dry goods trade re-
ports fairly satisfactory sales The drug
trade is in unfavorable shape, purchases
being reduced as far Us possible, AID SINH
lar features appear in the markets for
sugar and other products which may be af-
fected by a change of duties The wool mar
ket however, though dull, is steady for the
better grades, while other qualities sell
moderately at concessions.
Reports from various parts of the country
show general feeling of confidence, though
q lack of present activity is commonly no
ticed, with some closeness in the money
market and tardiness in collections in the
northwest. Domestic exports from New
York for March are % per cent. below last
years, while imports increased little.
Business failures in the last seven days,

"Full DRESS
Is Half Nsdity," says Speaker ut the
womsn's International Convention -
Proceedings of Yesterday.

WARRINGTON. March 81 Society Puri-
ty," the subject chosen by Mrs. Elizabeth
Lisle-SsIon, Vice President of the National
Woman's Suffrage Association, of Tennes-
see, created a decided sensation in the Wo-
mans Suffrage Convention yesterday morn
ing. After au address by Mrs Herbert, Mrs.
Saxon stepped forward. She spoke very
plainly of the socirl evil; of the imprud-
ence of woman in not coniiding to their
children the great secrets and ruths OF
life, instesd of learning them from children
and servants. Sons and daughters alike
Should be taught the awful power of sex,
for the building of character begins in the
very hour of conception lntempcrance in
desire has marred the happiness of thous-
ands of families Young girls should be
taught the sscredness Of marriage, and hold
the control Of her person against her hus-
bands lust. Christ preached the first ser
mon OF equal rights in purity for man and
woman, but society condemns the woman
and condones the man. Only through
woman's own efforts can she be free in the
control oil her person. Men perpetualiy
blame women for the sins OF the world, be-
cause OF the Bible story of Adams fall
through Eve.
Magetsson Grath, the delegate from Nor
way Madame. .Grath is a beautiful woman,
dark-eyed and dsrk-haired. In intro
ducing her. Miss Anthony said that Mad
anne Grath had not confidence in her
English TO read her own paper, but would
have part of il read by Mrs. Geustofson.
Madame Grath, in few words, spoke OF
her delight 81 being with the Council
After Mrs. GustofsOn had read g part of
Madame Graths paper, Clara Clag-
horne Hoffman WAS introduced.
At the conclusion of her address Miss
Anthony gave out various notices and made
& motion to send cabiegrams TO Mrs. Nc
Claren and Miss Anthony then said that
the matter OF the cablegrams and all things
of that sort would have to be referred Off
cially to the delegates of the Council before
being acted on but that the idea in the morn
ing was merely to get an expression of
opinion from the audience. She accord
ingly put the motion before the audience
again in that light and the Objectionable
noes" were withdrawn. A motion was
then made and enthusiastically carried to
add the name OF the Empress of Germany
to the list as being sympsthizer and
leader in all womanly adyancements.
Francis Willard then delivered an address
on dress reform in which she denounced
full dress as half nudity.

Tax-Paying Women.

Women who have paid tax of any kind in Mas
sachusetts within two years, can carry their re-
cepted tax-bi to the registrars in cities, or to the
selectmen in towns, and without any poll-tax or
further assessment have their names put on the
voting list. 1t is very important that every tax
paying woman should attend to this, that she may
vote for school committee, and, more than that re-
move the last expressed objection of our law
makers. They have said to us for years, "When
women show they want the right vote, they will
get it," Now Massachusetts women have made a
good "show," and the larger it can be made, the
less can our Legislators object. Massachusetts
women pay taxes on many millions of dollars. But
their right to voice in the matter has always been
denied. Be sure you get yourself registered
