Among the curiosities of Queen Victoria's
railway journeys are the time tables supplied

ink, on hand made paper with gilt edges.
They contain the exact times of the stoppages

interest The Prince of Wales has, perhaps,
the finest railway coach in Europe. 1t con-

Gentiemen's Dress Fifty Years Ago.

Fifty-six years ago American gentlemen
wore blue broadcloth coats with high rolling
collars, short waists, gilt buttons and long
tails, with skirts cut away over the hips
Their waistcoats were very short, and their
pantaloons-there were no pants" or trou-
sers in those days-were very long and tight
Yellow nankeen was the material of the
former, drab or buff mole skin of the latter.
1t was perpetual mystery how man got
into his pantaloons, and once in how he got
out They came down to the very bottom of
his heel and huttoned beneath his instep, Civ
ing him an uncomfortable strapped up APP
pearance His collar was of the big side
board" type and his cravat was either an
enormous stock of black satin or a couple of
yards of white lawn wrapped in ample folds
about his throat. Tight sleeves to his coat,
with turned back cuffs, heavy cane, an
enormous white beaver hat and a clean sha-
ven face, made up his ensemble. Nobody
wore mustaches then, and man with whis-
kers was followed in the streets BY n crowd

A TEST OF POPULARITY.

Mrs. Langtry, Mrs. Potter and Others Appear
at Benefit Matinee.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.i
NEW YORK, February 15.-Mrs. Langtry
and Mrs. Potter competed for the favor of
an audience at Daly's Theater this after
noon. Each chose at will piece in which
to perform, and both appeared in the
depletion of love for sculptors. Mrs. Langtry
was the Galdtea in one act of "Pygmalion
and Galatea." Mrs. Potter was the Faustine
in one act of "M'dlle de Bressier." There
were far finer actresses than either Mrs.
Langtry or Mrs. Potter on the same stage
this afternoon, and they were pitted against
each other, too, three against one.

act of Gilbert's Engaged" DAILY pre-
ferred an act of Sheridan's "Critic."
Palmer shrewdly put forward three of
the most accomplished actresses known
to this town in Agnes Booth, MAUD Hsr-

faith in Ada Rehan singly. Thus out
numbered, Miss Rehan was inevitably
beaten by the combined onslaught OF Mrs.
Booth and Misses Harrison and Russell.
1t was matinee of good entertainment

took into account all of the significance of
the occasion, and to such pers"ns 50 so
seat didn't seem too much to pay, particu-
larly as the money went to the Actors Fund.

weekly review of trade says:
Actual improvement in business continues.
The upward movement in prices, which was
noticed last week, has not been sustained, the
general average for common being about half
of per cent lower than week ago. The out
put of pig iron has diminished. The furnaces
in blast February were producing l47, Ill tons
weekly, against l52. .H0 January /, a decline of
81 per cent. The rail business is stagnating
only mills out of IA now running. The plate
and tank iron trade is dull, and in structural
iron the business IS slow. There is cutting in
sales of pig iron by some Northern as well as
Southern furnaces, and purchases are gener-
ally confined to immediate needs. The coal
trade is depressed by overproduction and cut.

syndicate are current. Sales of lead have
reached J. 400 tons with prices declining to So co.
The tin market is also demoralized, with quoted
sales at s2l 25.
Wheat has advanced lc for the week. At
laptic exports were in five weeks ending Feb
ruary 2only 242, 45S bushels, against l764. 1888
bushels last year, and of -four $50 $50 barrels
against l,OS2, $50 barrels last year. This, com.
pared with exports of 10, 115 1886 bushels of corn
during the same weeks, against ], ,72S.667 bush
els last year, SHOWS now tne lOrelgn trade has
been affected by the speculation which heads
prices of wheat at Chicago far above the prices
at the seaboard. Corn has advanced but %c,
with sales of O. 900 900 bushels, and oats are un-
changed. Oil speculation has lifted the price

terror in that respect are this week rather more
favorable than before. Clearings through
banks last week were 1874 per cent larger than
a year ago outside of New York, only seven
cities reporting any decrease, Of which san
Francisco Minneapolis and st. Paul were the
most important. The stock market has been
stronger on account Of the covering OF short
sales, but more discriminating in its temper
than usual.
Most of the Granger roads are weaker, and
the failure to get Presidents agreement to be
signed by all the companies had a depressing
influence. Evidences that agreement is actu-
ally evaded are accumulating, and the Balti-
more receipts of corn are especially noticed
The exports of merchandise have been larger
and imports also show large increase.
The money market has been easy. rates on
call declining from 231 to IL per cent, and the
Treasury has disbursed during the week u, wv

in circulation of silver continues.
The business failures number 289 as COM
pared with 303 last week and 1872 the week pre-
vious. For the corresponding week Of last year
the failures figured up z73.
