TRADE AND SPECULATION.

Weekly Report of X. G. Dun & CO.-Dull-
ness Generally Reported In Business Cir
cles, Even for This Season.
The business failures for the week num-
bered, for the United States, 276; for Canada,
3S total of 314, compared with 2S8 the pre-
vious week, and 3Jl for the corresponding
week of list year. r. G. Dun & Co., in their
weekly review of trade, says:
Business throughout the country is rather
quiet even for the season. Fairly active job
bling trade is reported at several points whore
wholesale business Is distinctly dull, and q
prevailing feature seems to be indisposition to
take quantities in view of the unusual uncer-
tainties in many markets caused by strikes,
by speculation, and by legislative delib-
erations. In Chicago speculation has been
duh. and IN legitimate trade, though there ia
some improvement of late, less is doing chan
last year. Hard times in drouth regions
throughout the West affect purchases, but in
other sections there is q gain. Collections are
fairly satisfactory at nearly all points, and
money generally in fair supply, though rather
close in Denver and Cleveland.

Reade and the Crazy Stranger.

Charles Reade, who saw "Lohengrin"
at Dresden, said: 1.-Two or three of us
had taken front seat in q proscenium
box. Suddenly stranger took seat
behind us and expressed himself in
such sentences as 'Ach, himmell Sehr

and many other gutturals of the same
sort, clapping his hands meanwhile and
stamping like demented creature un-

Fond or the Pigs.

Not long ago French steamer, the
Arctic, trading from Havre, was rocked
in the Straits of Magellan, but the pas
sengers were sawed. A monkey named
Felix was rescued and taken possession
of by q farmer who lived near Punta
Arenas and was carried to his rescuer's
farm.
Almost the only other animals that
he found here were the farmers pigs,
about forty in number, great and small,
and to these pigs Felix took very
strong liking. He played and slept
with them, and followed them where
ever they went, riding on the back of
one or another of them.
The herd of pigs travelled at their
will about the farm, and whether it
rained or shone, whether it was hot or
cold-and even in summer there are
some very cold winds at the Straits Of
Magellan-Felix always set out in the
morning on the back of one of his
favorites.
At evening he drove the pigs home,
performing this duty much better and
more swiftly than a man could have
done it. If any one attempted to catch
one of the pigs Felix few into violent
rage. No offers of cakes and sweet
meats would tempt him to leave the
herd and enter his masters house.
Winter came at last, and as at this
season the primitive farmers make no
provision for their swine the pigs left
the buildings and lived in O perfectly
wild state. Felix went away with them,
but when they were brought up in the
spring he had disappeared. He had,
without doubt, died of cold Youths
Communion.
