TRADE REVIEW.
The Outlook in Most Localities Less Fa-
vorable to General Good Business.
Damage to Wheat and Cotton and Labor
Troubles Causes AnxIety-lmports in
Excess Over Exports.

NEW YORK, May 2.-R. G. Dun s.
Co.'S weekly review of trade says the
outlook for industries and legitimate
trade is distinctly less favorable, owing
to the damage to wheat and cotton and
labor disturbances. a special cotton re-
port from Memphis indicates planting 27
per cent. against 50 per cent. at this
time last year; unfavorable in 53S out of
COS returns; material injury from too
much ram, and extensive loss from
floods.
Galveston crop reports are also gloomy
because of too much rain, and St. Louis
reports unfavorable weather, while the
markets at Chicago have been influenced
by information of injury to wheat. The
general average of prices is nearly l per
cent. lower than week ago, notwith-
standing rise of three and one half
cents in wheat, due to reports
of injury. Exports, both of
wheat and flour, continue largo.
Corn made no advance during the week,
and oats declined &c. Hogs were 10c
per 100 pounds lower, but pork and lard
were auYa0C6u llLIle Dy speculation,
and oil rose Sc. Cotton rose 3-I6c.
Coffee was unchanged. Raw sugar did
not change, but crushed was advanced
80. Reports from other cities are gen.
orally favorable as to the volume of bus
mess, and bank clearings show an in
crease over last year of 10 per cent. at
Boston wool is stronger on some grades
that are scarce, and better demand is
seen, sales reaching $500 ZOO pounds,
and yet no Improvement whatever is
detected IN the market for goods there
or here. Difficulties in the clothing
trade do not abate, and apprehension of
more failures causes uneasiness in this
and other cities. Money has not been
disturbed this week. There is much less
complaint of slow collections throughout
the Northwest, but considerable in some
lines at Philadelphia, Boston and New
York. Good crops and sales of farm
products have made things comparatively
easier at the West, but the effects of two
successive open winters were felt in
Eastern markets. Exports of all products
from New York are Is per cent. below
last years for April, while imports have
shown an increase of Is per cent, facts
which indicate heavy excess of imports
over exports for that month.
Business failures occurring throughout
the country during the last seven days
are 2ll, as compared with 2lS last week.
For the corresponding week last year the |
figures were 2l4.

PROFESSOR WEIssMAN, a well-known
scientist, has arrayed himself against
Darwin and his followers. His main
thesis is that germ cells are transmitted
from parent to offspring without change,
and that the child does not acquire traits
or characteristics from the parent. This
theory soatters the doctrine of heredity
to the winds, and makes evolution an
idle dream. Still, the old law that the
sins of the fathers are visited upon their
children is daily vindicated by facts
which theory cannot confute.

FORT WORTH started ont ten years ago
to convert village of 5000 people into
town of so 900 inhabitants. Having ao-
complished the purpose, it seems impos-
sible for many of these townspeople to
realize that it is just as easy to convert
this town into city of 900, 200 inhab-
itants. Too many of our citizens seem
dazed at their own success and too con-
ap, gentlemen, and see how easy 1t is to
convert the thousandaire into the mill
ionaire.

THE unsupported connection of things
remote is well illustrated by some notes
sent out by the United States hydro
graphic office. There has been this sea-
son an abnormally large ice drift on the
Atlantic coast reaching so far as New
York and followed by severe winds that
lett an open sea. The temperature
thereby modified was conducive to the
mild winter, which as is usual, has been
followed by severe spring. The fruit
crops in all the East are cut short, and
to California must consumers look for
fruit supply. Another industry on the
Pacific coast will, 1t is said, be also ben
efited. The prevalence of Toe and fog on
the fishing banks on the Atlantic coast
has made fishing there very dangerous,
and is likely also to reduce the number
of catches. This will tend to make the
Alaskan coast and the Okhotsk sea where
ice never interferes, more desirable
fishing grounds.

his election to the presidency in 1876.
Since that time the Democracy has stead
lily gained liz the contest Of intelligence,
the conditions of which we're, as Mr..
clarkson justly says, properly appro-
ciated by Col. Brice in opening the in
tellectual and educational campaign Of
1888.
Thus far the remarks of the late assist
ant postmaster-general are sound and
fair. Where he is lacking is in failure TO
appreciate the fact that it is because
right and reason are with the Democracy
that the press is becoming Democratic.
The popular conscience and intelligence
have revolted against the practices of
degenerate Republicanism, and Republic
can journals have lacked public support.
Democratic gains have been largely from
long established publications which have
become disguised with foater fund
methods on account of the pressure of
general sentiment as much as from their
own change of conviction. A party that
has not the right side of the argument
cannot long control the press of an in
telligent and patriotic people.
For an object lesson in the causes of
the reyulsion Of the intelligence, virtue
and patriotism of the land against the
Republicanism he defends, Col. Clark
son has no need to look Ieyond those who
surrounded him at the Pittsburg banquet
to Quay and Reed.

Another Change.
Ouanah Tribune.


withthe issue Of last Friday the Quirt
passed out of the-fieid of journalism, and
with this issue we present to our readers,
as new born, the Quanah Tribune, q
six column quarto, as an improvement,
so we think, in more respects than in
name. on the Quirt.
The liberal patronage, both in adver-
Using and subscribers, the publishers
consider entities our town, county and
readers generally to q larger paper, and
in charging it is thought an opportune
time to cater to the wish of the majority
Of our readers by giving the publication
new name. We cannot say that.we do
not agree with the public in this, as We
consider that the name savors too much
of the old Texas, and not Of the Texas
that is being developed now.
The Tribune, with the same publishers
and under the same editorial manage
ment, greets you with the same objects,
Gins and ambition as the former publica-
tion with these additions. that this is not
a mere venture but . permanent paper,
here to stay. and with the intentions of
meeting all the demands of Quanah and
Hardeman county's rapid DEVELOPMENT.
To the citizens of Quanah we desire TO
say, 90 ahead in building your city and
the publishers of the Tribune will always
be found with you in every laudable en-
terprise. To our subscribers we promise
paper worth the money they pay. II
it IS live paper you want we are going
TO please you. but IL yon should happen
to be so delnded as to want paper with
mossbsok principles you will be disap-
pointed.

THE discussions most profitable to the
farmers are not of politics and the merit
and demerit of candidates, but of meth
DDS by which au acre of ground can be
made to give the largest yield. The best
speeches are those when the speak er
gives his mode of cultivation that brought
bale of cotton to the acre, or when he
tells how he managed a small farm to
larger profit than his neighbor who owned
many more acres.
