Trade Improvement Interfcred with by
Uncertsanty in Some Branches.
In their review of trade for last week r.
G. Dun & Co. say:
Actual improvement in business continues
The upward movement in prices which was
uced last week has not been sustained, the gen
eral average for commodities being about half
OF per cent. lower than Il week ago The output
OF pig iron has diminished. Wheat advanced
cent for tho week. Atlantic exports were, in
the FIVE weeks ending Feb. 2, only 2s2, I5J bush
els, against 1874 :g3 last year, and OF flour
$50 100 barrels, against ], 032, 532 last year.
This, compared with exports OF 10,ll5,3 35
bushels Of corn during the same weeks against
l,72s,557 last year, shows how the foreign
trade has been affected by tho spec ulation which
holds prices OF wheat at Chicago far above
prices at the seaboard. Corn advanced but half
a cent, with sales of 900, 900 bu shells. and oats
are unchanged. Oil speculation has lifted the
price four and a half cents, with sales OF only
7,OO,OOO barrels at New York. Cotton, with
sales of $4,000 bales and coffee with sales OF
2O7 200 bags, have each declined al eighth, and
pork IL half n dollar lower, with lard 27l9 cents
lower per 100 pounds. The dry goods opera
uons, as in other bran hos OF business are TO

firing f. ON the Presidency.
New York telegram


The fact that President Cleveland on March
:. is TO become n member OF the law firm Of
Bangs, Stetson, Tracy & MacVeagh gains r.
fresh interest when linked, rs it is, with the
private secretary and trusted confidential
friend Is TO be Presid mt OF the Avenue
{ S.n Horse i Railroad Company The firm Of
represent Widener, Elkins Kemble, Whitney,
and others who control the PhiladelI hia Trac-
ton Company, one OF the most gigantic corpo-
rations OF the age. By de sroes il is absorbing
the best OF the surface street car traffic in the
country. 1t is known in its local branches and
at Albany IA the Metropoit an Transfer Com
pany. 1t owns the Broadway line, the Avenue
Z line, and others in New York City and unless
the courts interfere, il will soon be where 1T
can dictate to all the surface lines in New
York.
IL is the same combination which represent
ed by c. Il. ierkes, now owns and operate the
street-car service on the North and West Sides
OF Chicago.
The present action OF President Cleveland lis
not q sudden move. In 1854 ! e was invited TO
Join the firm in the event of his defeat the
Democratic candidate and he was then offered
salary or guarantee Of $4,000 year. When his
Presidential term was drawing TO close this
offer was renewed under the same conditions,
and this time Mr.. Cleveland has found il prac-
ticnble to accept.
In these negotiations Mr.. Viii ney, who IL
largely interested in the syndicate, has been the
active agent. He IL was, rs he explained a few
days ago, that procured for Lamont the position
of President OF the.Avenus line. Tuus IL wi
be seen that MI. CleN Gland Will sti L DO IN Ose
relai ions with his two intimate s at Washin ton.
Since the death OF Mr. Manning is well known
that no men were so near 10 the President
the tws mentioned This intimacy will now be
continued, but will be given a business instead
Of political aspect.
The traction company as has been said. il
one of the mightiest business aggTegations OF
the time. It's scope Is ma iOnal and It's pecu-
MARY future Is dazzling. Thus the vicissitudes
OF 20 itical life have opened now and magnih-
cent business opportunities.
Mr. Whitney's friendship. reaching back as IL
does TO the time when Cleveland and Lamont
were together at Albany and deepened by four
years intimacy at Wash ngton, puts in their
way prizes almost as tempting as the honors
they will soon lay down.
AS 80 many other men who have filed high
public stations have done before them. the
President and his shrewd and fai hful secretary
now quit politics and plunge into the vast bust
ness life that centers in New York City.
At the next meeting OF the bar association OF
this city Mr. Cleveland will probably be Elected
n member. He was proposed on IL b. for MEM
bership, and his name was posted on the assl-
citation bulletin board. His application ia in
dorsed by Wheeler III. Peckham and Charles NJ.

swarmed in the sick woman's bed. The
flesh was gnawed in many places. and the
woman had been for hours helpless TO drive
away the rodents. The unfortunate woman

THE EARTHQUAKES IN COSTA RIGA.
A Fearful Cataclysm, similar tn That of
1871.

Panama special says: -Advices from
Costa Rica give details Of the terrible
earthquake OF Dec. % and 30. The first
shock was felt at San Jose at O'Clock in
the evening. and this was followed at ii
O'Clock by much stronger shock. AT AGO
"A. m. a movement occurred which was
more than simple earthquake. The edi-
fees which suffered most In San Jose were
the Cathedral, the Carmen and MERGED
churches. Presidential Palace. Artillery Bar
racks. National Palace. Central Barracks the
National Printing Offices, and the Union
Bank. Not single house escaped injury.
while many are not safe to live in and 9TH
ers are completely wrecked. Whole streets
are blocked with ruins. Losses in San
Jose amount TO more than S2.0010O0. while
all the principal edifces in Alajucla are
damaged. AT La Laguna the earth has
assumed the appearance of rough sea.
The father Of family and four OF his
children were buried together, while the
mother and her young child were thrown
by the motion of the earth a distance
of 1000 meters. although she declares she
believes the earth swallowed her and then
elected her where she was found. Here the
hills have changed their position and the
ground is full of cracks. Since the first
shocks a number OF smaller ones have been
experienced. but they have done no further
damage. On Dec. 16 the Irazu volcano
was in eruption, and the people in Carriage
were still in a state of alarm"

George Wick. 20 years old. painter. cut
his head almost of with one desperate
stroke of razor at his rooms. in New York

went home in the forenoon. and after
lying in bed n few moments got
up and taking his young wife by
the throat. said: Nellie. am going to die.
and you must die with me-" She wrenched
herself from him. and ran screaming to the
rooms OF a neighbor. Suddenly recollect-
ing that their only child. n 2-months-old
baby. was lying in the crib. she ran back
with her neighbor. Her husband lay on
the floor dead. The baby was safe in the
crib. Dependency at failure to secure work
was the cause OF the suicide.
