Trade in the East.

The business outlook in New York i'm
proved during the week, but the assign
ment Of an important dry goods commits
sion house, with liabilities over 81, 900 900,
eccasioned some disquietude The general
tenor Of advices is encouraging; crop pros
poets improve, and the probability of a
large foreign demand; the apprehended
financial difficulties do not yet arrive; the
great industries seem to be getting a
stronger position; and the railway situa-
ton is, at the least, no worse. Ali the
cities except nine report larger bank clear
ings than year ago, and while the in
crease is not as large as it has been in
other recent weeks. it is shared by more
than three-quarters of the cities at which
speculative dealings are not important.
New wheat is moving freely and begin
ming TO affect foreign exchanges. The
price has advanced only a quarter, corn
and oats three-eights EACH and hog pro-
ducts have declined fraction. Sugar has
declined quarter, in spite of reports that

has been sharply reduced by high prices
Oil has risen 20 cents per 100 pounds for re-
lined and 55s for crude, but broke down a
little on Friday. The general average of
prices - Sndue HlBner Inan week ago.
The signs of improvement in the wooden
business are less clear, but manufacturers
have been buying more freely, and there
has been some increase IL the orders for
goods. The confidence in large fall trade
is diminished, and while stocks on hand in
some lines are large, there is a feeling that
the force of foreign competition win be
less felt hereafter. The harvest season for
boots and shoes has commenced well, and

THE ORE AND BULLION OUTPUT.
News From Utah, Idaho and Nevada Mines
Tea and Coffee Market-Trade
East and at Home.

There is but little of interest in business
circles to chronicle since our last report OF
a week ago. There has been very steady
+ 'ade, and merchants report an increased
output of fall and winter goods. For this
season of the year, the country trade is
said to be very good, equal, at least, to that
Of year ago.
There is no cessation in the building
boom, the only trouble being, in many
cases, to obtain mechanics and laborers to
carry out the architects plans. The de-
mand for stores and business houses gen
orally continues, notwithstanding the
many business blocks being erected are all
20 ted, and in some cases leases have been
made soon after the excavation has been
commenced. One old and prominent Main
street dealer, compelled to move on account
Of the store being demolished to make room
for big business block, has been forced
to take refuge in an old warehouse in an
alley, it being the only available place in
which to lay his head and his goods gener-
ally.
Local politics have had a disturbing in ,
fuence on business generally, but few
days more, and the city will have returned
to the even tenor of its ways.

which showed an increase of more than 60
per cent. since 1S79-about double the in
crease in population.
All accounts from interior cities indicate
that business is fairly good for the season,
though there is, perhaps, rather general
feeling that the fall trade does not open
quite as early or as briskly as had been
hoped. The monetary supply is at all re-
porting points ample, and the complaints of
slow collections are fewer than usual. The
exports from New York for three weeks of
July have exceeded last years by 15115 per
cent, though the imports are also large.
In the stock market, depression has been
followed by a stronger feeling, and the
average of the prices is fraction better
than week ago, with rather more hopeful
prospects as to the settlement of difficulties
between Chicago and the seaboard.
The business failures occurring through
out the country during the last seven

Lead and Silver.

The lead market has f1uctuated consider
ably during the week. In New York, buy
ers were not at all numerous, and offerings
were comparatively light. In St. Louis,
the market was quite firm, and there was
an improved feeling as to the immediate
future of this metal. Dealings were not at
all large. In Chicago, the market was
quiet during the early part of the week
Holders, however, were quite firm, and
later the market showed more activity
In Salt Lake, the metal opened at So so,
rose to S3.9716, fell to 1895, and yesterday
the quotation was s.. 90-an increase of 10
cents during the week.

Last Saturday morning the Monarch
mill at Atlanta was supposed to be in shape
to set in motion and to run for an indefinite

it otherwise. A short time after water

motion, the large cast iron turbine wheel

What becomes of all the paper? There
are 100000 pulp and paper mills at work all
the year round. But the newspapers and
magazines consume vast quantities of it.

two hundred tons a month for their publ

consideration being $250,000. The new
company is composed Of Eldred & Hin

ably other gentlemen of this city, whose
names will be made public later Arti-
Giles of incorporation have been sent to
the secretary of state. The two new
members of the company, Messrs. Wat
tier and Kentner, are capitalists who
were induced to come here by Mr.. Hin
man. They have thoroughly examined
into the sugar business and are satisfied
with the outlook.
The company will at once arrange to
increase the capacity OF the present
plant; they will, by the time it is needed,
put in machinery for handling beets in
large quantities, and they expect also
to put in machinery for refining their
output.
ssAll of this means much for Medicine
Lodge and Barber county. This is to be
the largest sugar producing county in
the world. and other manufacturing in
dustries will probably be combined with
sugar making.
The Medicine Lodge Sugar Works and
Refining company has plenty of capital,

grounds, the best water power in the
state and the unquestioned support and
good will of this entire community.

HER LIES HAUNTED TWILIGHT.
New York Herald.

New York Herald.
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe is mildly
demented. The fires.of genius are dead,
and the once brilliant mind is choked
with the ashes. The heart once filled
with bright dreams and sunshine is now
haunted with ghosts and shadows. She
has become again child, and day by
day she wanders around under the bare
boughS of the autumn trees gathering
their dead leaves. She is quite harmless,
and in fact so insidious has been the ap-
proacn of the disease that not over 200
people in Hartford are aware of her con-
dition. Two generations ago she wrung
tears from the eyes of the civilized
world with the magic of her pen.
Only last week she wandered out onto
the street alone, an old white-haired
woman bent with the weight of years,
but simple and harmless as a child. \
shawl which hung on her shoulders
dragged on the ground and her gray
hair was in disorder She smiled and
talked 10 herself as she tottered weakly
along, and finally a crowd of rough
street boys were following her. They
laughed and jeered at the pitiful sight,
not knowing who she was.
Only little way" she said, as she
reached the corner, irresoluts as TO
which way TO turn. At this moment a
gentleman came along who had known
her in happier years. Tears sprung TO
his eyes at the sight. He dispersed the
bows and with some difficulty induced
the aged woman to return home. The
foregoing was narrated by an eye-wit-
ness.
Mrs. Stowe is provided with nurse,
but is allowed freely 10 go about the
house. She is perfectly quiet and has
no violent fancies. Her trouble seems to
be gradual wearing away Of all the
faculties. She is fond Of croning the old
church hymns of fifty years ago, and is
constantly humming Rock Of Ages
and kindred ancient melodies. One of
her favorite hymns is ''Oh, come. angel
band. come and around me stand; bear
me away on your snowy wings 10 my
immortal home" And so the author OF
Uncle Toms Cabin" awaits the peace

PhotO-W God Engraving.

A method Of photo engraving direct on
wood is announced from Russia. The wood
is boiled in a solution of sulphate Of copper
and afterward in a solution of carbonate of
soda, which fills the pores with insoluble
carbonate of copper. The block is then
dried, its face brightly polished and the sides
and back coated with an asphalt varnish
The face is coated with bichromated gelatine.
and after printing is developed with warm
water, as In the carbon process. coat Of
asphalt varnish, carefully applied, adheres
only to the portions from which the gelatine
has not been removed. The block thus pro-
tected with varnish is placed for an hour in
strong nitric acid and then for an hour in
strong sulphuric acid When taken from the
acid the unprotected parts OF the wood viii be
found to be eaten away and the block may
be cleaned by rubbing with hard brush
The varnish on the face is removed by soak
ing in benzine and the block is at once ready
to print from. While tbs process may be
satisfactory for reproducing diagrams and
coarse line drawings, we would point out
that, for any fine works, printing On paper
and transferring TO the block, so that the
print may be developed from behind, would
