A curious fact has been noted in sta
tistics of suicide. 1t is that only the
fewest number of negro men or women
ever commit suicide. They are like chill
dren in their careless nature, fearing be-
forehand none of the ills of life. AS a
black man. who earned about $500 year
all told, once put it; Il don't know what
people want to kill themselves fur This
world is good enough for me, and I'm
goin' to stay here as long as can. Yes,
I feels bad sometimes. but jist braces
up agin it. The trouble with people who
kills themselves is that when they feels
bad they don't brace up agia it."

Wool and Woolens.

In wool and woolens there is not much
change, and while orders for dress goods,
carpets and staples continue tolerably free,
and there is some demand for clothing,
buyers are disposed to deal closely, because
many houses still have part of last years
stock on hand. A general advance in prices
of goods being thus hindered, it is perhaps
significant that increased inquiry seems to
have arrested the yielding in the wool
market, which has been fairly steady for
the week past. But sales havea been
light, and spinners still buy sparingly
The market for cotton goods is more
satisfactory, but the market for raw cotton
does not yield, though the new crop is now
expected to be large, and from two to three
weeks early. In boots and shoes the sever
ity of competition makes profits very mar
row, and the Shoe and Leather Reporter
notes that after general reduction of 81
to So per case last year, and further con
cessiOn of 80 cents per case in March of
this year, with decline of 50 to IS cents
per pair on shoes in the two years, manu-
facturers can hardly be held responsible
for occasional failures among dealers. Rub
Der is weak and declining, with Para fine
offered at 6 cents.

The BuIIjOn-Beck.

Mr.. A. E Hyde, the newly appointed
manager of the Bullion-Beck Mining Co.,
has returned from visit to the properties
of his company in Tintic. He was seen
yesterday by HERALD reporter who
asked him how he found the mines looking,
the answer was that everything was in fine
condition, and the daily heavy output of
ore would be kept up. He was still work
ing hundred men. He was asked if there
would be any changes inaugurated at the
mines, and he replied that there were none
that he knew of; at least not until after
thorough investigation and the conviction
that the interests of the property demanded
it. Mr.. Hank Smith, recently elected as
a Liberal member of the Legislature is
superintendent of the mines, and Mr.. Hyde
said, as far as he knew, he would remain
so. The litigation between the Bullion
Beck and Eureka properties has all been
settled, and both properties are now worked
independently by their separate owners
with no prospect of any trouble whatever.
The impression which had prevailed in
some quarters that there had been any con-
solidation of interests between these prop
critics, is entirely erroneous.

FINANCE And MINING
A Notable Week in Our City's
History.
CHANGES AT THE BULLION-BECK.
The Hanauer Smelter Shut Down for Week
The Markets-NOtes From all
the Mines.

The week Just ended has been the live
lest midsummer week that Salt Lake has
ever seen, so far as the real estate market
is concerned, and a lively realty market
always gives confidence and renewed en-
ergy to all kinds of business, even though
no directly beneficial results are derived.
Rents are higher than they have ever
been before at this time of year, but they
are not too high for the demand, and it is
by this that they are naturally regulated
The tearing down of old stores and the
erection of new ones is causing
much moving among small merchants
and many of them are cropping about with
out store to move into. The deficiency,
however, is being supplied as fast as new
buildings can be put up, and the store
famine is not likely to last great while.
The summer heat does not seems to ex-
ercise much influence on any kind of bust
ness. Our streets are crowded every day
with the busiest lot of rustlers in America,
and if business isn't lively it is not the
fault of our business men.
The Inauguration of the electric street
railway was the feature of the week.
Rapid transit means so much for
our city that we can hardly
realize the full Importance of it. Our city
has long been known as a city of magnih-
cent distances, but now, while we still re-
tain the beauties of our broad and long
streets, we have shortened up our distances
to the minimum and have solved the prob
lem of economy of time which is every
thing to a city that aims to be of CONNER
cial Importance.
The bankers are all happy. Real estate
orfnallu the free circulation nj
money, and the increase of business done is
noticeable to the banker quicker than to
anyone else.
All in all, the past week is one that our
city could not improve upon, were she al
loWedto live it over again.

The Wheat Market.

Dun's Weekly Review of Trade, says
With steady Improvement in the reports
from the northwest, wheat has declined
about hree-eights on sales of only s, OOO,O 900
bushels here, and corn half cent on sales
of 5000, 900 bushels. Oats are nearly 15c.
lower, and hogs 10c per 100 pounds.
In oil there is an advance of &c, and in
coffee. prices have been lifted SC, but
with many protests from buyers who note
the growing disappointment of those en-
gagged in distribution. Sugar is strictly
nominal, with 615c quoted as above any
bid at present obtainable, and the nara
tive that an international syndicate is get
ting ready to buy Cuba from Spain, and
to control all sources of supply of raw
sugar, may be mentioned as indicating the
difficulties which the trust and the Magde-
burg syndicate begin to realize.

CHANCES OF LEE

These life insurance tables that show
the expectation, the average, the probable
ity of life are very curious and interesting
In million births the males outnumber
the females $4,000, but the girls don't die
so fast, and by the time they reach fifty
years the females begin to outnumber the
men and outlive them. Nine thousand
more women live to see seventy years than
men, taking a million as the basis. Two
thousand more women than men live to see
ninety. At 100 years there are seventy
nine men to hundred and forty-four
women. The males start out most numer-
GUS, and this is right, for it gives every
girl a fair change for lover and hus-
Oand-and it certainly was intended by a
kind Providence that she should have one.
She is entitled to one, and if l had my way
l would make every old bachelor marry or
support one.-BM Arp.

BURDETTE's PHILOSOPHY.

THE WORKINGS OF THE INFANT MIND.
Thomas Jefferson, when about 4 years old,
was playing with his blocks one day, when
bhe sound of an infant sister came drifting
IN from the distant nursery. st seems to
me" remarked the infant statesman, pausing
in his childish labor, ''or, rather, it strikes
me, that Anna Maria has taken her base on
bawls." But" interposes the hypercritical
reader, Thomas Jefferson had no sister
Anna Maria, and baseball and its slang were
unknown in his time" Yes, all that know;
but l agree with Mr. Howells that in novel
dealing with modern life "a plot of close
texture is not only unnecessary, but is an
anachronism." But" you say, ''the in
fancy of Thomas Jefferson is not a feature of
modern life" No, goosey, but baseball is

From east to west, from north to SOUTH
Who knows all things, both great and small,
And tells it with his .ireless mouth;
Who holds listening world in awe,
The while he works his IRON jaw.

When twilight softens sight and sound,
And zephyr breathes peaceful psalm,
This fellow brings his mouth around,
With its long gaIlop that can tire
The eight day clocks impatient ire.

Such mighty deeds npon the earth.

And works her hard on either side.
