In the Catskills and other parts Of
New York State curious industry
consists in converting beech trees into
wood flour. A whole trunk is stripped
of its bark, put into huge mechanism,
which is practically pencil sharpener
on vast scale, and cut into miles of
the finest ribbons. These are thrown
into mill and converted into wood
meal or wood flour. This Is used, 1t Is
said, for making paper, although the
farmers hint it is taken West by Gov
eminent contractors TO feed the Indians
and supply our army with daily bread.
In very dry summer weather this dust
fills the air of the mill aud IL often ex-
plosive. Twice there have been acct
dents of the kind in this industry.

In Egypt ladies used to carry their
devotion for their feline pets SO far as
to go into mourning for them when
they died. And how do you think they
went into mourning? Why, by shaw

used to be embalmed, too, and 1 know
of no quainter or more grotesque OBJ
jects than the mummified cats which
may be seen at the British Museum.
Even now cats are held in high esteem

free ration distributed every day to
any cats that may care to apply.

DUN & co.'s WEEKLY REPORT.
Consistency of Commercial Action Lack
ing Throughout the Country.

consistency OF commercial AcuOn Lhck-
ing Throughout the Country.
lThe condition of trade for last week. as
reviewed by r. G. Dun 4 Co., is as follows:
1t is the most prominent Characteristic Of the
present situation throughout the country that
the usual consistency of commercial action is
lacking; transactions and results for some
branches OF business are highly satisfactory,
and for others much the reverse. The APP
preaching transition from one crop year to an
other, the recent change of Administration, the
development OF manufactures at the
South are producing effects which can
not be fully measured. Iron production
has begun to decline. Prices are lower
ut Pittsburg, but there is better feeling in in-
ished bar iron there and at Philadelphia, and
the demand for plate, pipe, sheet aud structural
iron continues satisfactory. The coal market is
still unsettled. The wool market goes lower
while waiting for adequate new supplies The
future depends upon the state of the dry goods
market, which is not now encouraging. The
cotton manufacture is active and healthy The
trade in drugs and chemicals has become quite
active with collections excellent, but dye stuffs
are dull. A speculative movement in bread
stuffs has developed again. Wheat has advanced
116 cents, corn lb cents and oats Ia cents, with
an advance OF Is cents per 100 rounds in hogs and
lard. Oil has declined go cents, and cotton O
sixteenth. The grocery trade has been active
In sugar the demand is confined TO actual needs.
In spite of some speculative advances the gen.
eral average Of prices for commodities is little
lower than it WAS May 2. The outlook in tho
Northwest is regarded much more conf
IDENTIFY since the recent rains. Everywhere tho
crop prospects are encouraging, with the season
more advanced than usual and the acreage III
wheat considerably Increased The business
failures numbered 227, as compared with pa fox
