TRADE HOLDING UP WELL
MORE MONEY AND HIGHER PRICES
MAKE TRADERS HAPPY.

! Silver Accumuiating-Some Lines of
Trade Waiting on the Tariff Bill.
Speculative Markets for Products
Inclined to Advance-Foreign Trade
| Adverse-Stocks Weaker.
NEW YORK, July 25.-The weekly re-
view of trade of r. g. Dun & Co.. issued
to-day, says: "More money and higher
prices meet the wishes of most traders and
accordingly the tone of business is more
satisfied and confident. The new plan Of
the Secretary of the Treasury called out
fewer bonds than was expected, but dis
position has been clearly shown not to wait
for strIngency. Meanwhile silver is &C
cumulating, having risen l cent per ounce
by Monday, and since declined % cents, and
shipments from Russia have become large.
"There has been speculation in grain and
cotton and higher prices for some goods.
The general average has risen during the
week one-half Of 1 per cent, and there are
indications of a renewal of the speculative
fever which the prospect of monetary ex-
pansion produced.
THE OUTLOOK GOOD.
"But in other respects the outlook is
good. Business is large for the season and
the great industries are on the whole i'm
proved in condition. The latest reports of
the exchanges through clearing houses out
side of New York show a gain of l per
cent.
The market for pig iron and rails is wait
ing at former prices, but bar iron Is firmer
and more demand is seen in structural,
plate and bridge iron.
ain general the speculative markets for
products show a tendency to advance,
mainly because of more money for specu-
lation.
1.-THE dry goods trade is moderate as to
cottons aud unsatisfactory as to woolens.
Clio hing concerns appear to be buying
mainly of low grade goods. and the neces-
sity of competing for the rest Of the year
with cheap foreign goods, which are now
being imported, dominates that trade and
restricts the manufacture of better grades.
The state of business at other cities is ia
vorable.
WAITING ON THE TARIFF.
There is a remarkable absence of com
plants regarding collections, and money is
now stringent, but with nearly all the con
ditions favoring business activity, there is
constantly growing embarrassment in de-
partments of trade and industry which are
likely to be affected by the pas sage or fail
ure Of the tariff bill
Foreign trade is naturally ad-
verse under the circumstances. While
the exports from New York for the three
weeks of July show decrease of 1871 per
cent compared with last year, there is an
increase of no less than SO per cent. in the
Imports here.
"The stock market has also been weak
ened by the failure of the trunk lines to
reach a full agreement, and by sew
eral more cuts in east bound
rates, the latest on wool, being
about a third of the former rates The un-
certainties of the foreign money markets
also affect the stock exchange, and some
realizing by foreign holders of American
securities is still observed.

They went into a lot. 1t was an odd
match. One fellow spoke of it as the con-
test between the churn-dasher and the nail
key. When they took mold Of each other,
Hobbs, employing phrase that has become
classic in some parts of the country, re-
marked: Throw yO' dyestuff."
Keep yo' eve on yo' warp an look out
for yo' film" Strawfoot replied. Hobbs
fell on his back with a resounding thick"
They went at it again, and this time Hobbs
"thrashed the ground with Strawfoot.
Hold on" demanded old Cado II see
that you are too well matched, an' we will
thurfo' have to try it in another way. Wen

All, han! have hit the very thing. Both
of YOU go down in that well out thar-the
water amt knee-deep-an' see which one
can stand it the longest, an the one that

Both men scrambled down into the well.
This water amt no slouch," said Hobbs,
trying to stand on one foot.
Il amt felt nothing cooler since / war
frost-bit," Strawfoot answered, "but | am
going TO stick it out
''All right, I'm with you. When it comes
to stickn', WY am regular plaster. l
have made up my mind to preach that
funeral an gi6 that ticker, and Pm goin' to
stay right here"
"Yes, but let me tell yo' that yo' shauks
will be mighty cold befo' you taste any of
that ticker. You'll need it, L reckon, mo-
than you ever needed anything in this
world"
About half an hour later Hobbs ex-
claimed: 20, hold on, thar, now. 1t amt

Anything is far when thar is 80 much
at stake. Wush | could stick up here, but

swered, "but l do know that my shanks

You go on if you want to.
"Oh, no. If was ter, you would be the

They climbed out and went to the house.
The place was deserted. They looked at
each other and then, looking down the road,
saw the people coming back from the bury
