LARGER TRADE.
More Tonnage In Motion-More Money in
Circulation-IncreasedI Imports and
Expor:s-The Second Quarter
of the Year Hopeful.
Trade Gradually Improving Throughout
the Country; Yet With UnfavoIabIe
Symptoms-In Speculative Mar
kets Pricss Range Higher.

NEW YORK, April AR. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade says:
With larger tonnage-in motion than in any
previous year at the same season, large
volume of currency in active circulation,
larger payments through clearing houses by
nearly 10 per cent, larger imports and ex-
ports and larger domestic production in
agriculture, in iron and steel, leather, boot
and shoe manufactures, the country has en-
with great hopefulness.
The trade throughout the country seems
gradually improving. Yet there are unfavor-
able symptoms, which do not disappear,
but grow more distinct and threatening.
The iron industry has advanced too rap
idly. Prices are lower, southern No. 1 being
offered at $3.50, and northern at SIS, while
bids of S33 are sought for steel rails. The
business in bar iron is better, with no change
in price; plates are moving at very unsatis-
factory prices.
The speculative markets have been more
active. with higher range of prices on the
whole Sales Of wheat have reached IA, 000,-
900 bushels, and the price has advanced "a
cents. though exports have only been about
equal to last years, for the week, on account
of more dennlCe reports OF INJURY
Corn is also half a cent stronger, with sales
for the week of Il, 900 bushels, and oats
nearly cent higher.
Reports from other cities are more gener-
ally favorable than is usual. Boston finds
improvement in wool, in leather and domes-
tic hides. active trade in boots and shoes,
cotton goods and lumber, and in other build
ing materials.
Philadelphia notes few sales of wool and
prices firm and good trade in chemicals,
liquors and leaf tobacco.
At the south, outside the direct effect of
floods, trade is good, and less time is asked
than usual, good crops and high prices hav-
ing swelled the cash surplus of dealers.
The monetary situation does not brighten.
Interior markets are generally easier, and at
Kansas City and Milwaukee with more de-
mand; at Cleveland the demand is so active
as to cause some stringency.
Complaints of slow collections are distinc-
rtively less frequent. 1t is not to be noted
that the west and south have been drawing
on the east heavily for purchases.
Thus the east bound tonnage for the past
five weeks from Chicago has been 442, 464
tons, against 296, 713 a year ago, but in volume
of quantities no such difference is noted in
west bound traffic.
Business failures for the pGst week were
200, against EOS the previous week.
At Chicago the grain receipts are still large.

ARussiaa Parliament

BELIN, April 15.-Court advices from st.
Petersburg are that the movement in favor
of constitution finds adherents in the cars
circle. The Grand Duke Vladimir, the cars
brother, induced less by liberalism than by
fears of revolution, heads ministerial sec
ton that is urging the car to create par
lament consisting of representatives of the
nobility elected by the Zemtsvos, with lin
tied number of delegates elected by towns.
The cars repugnance to parliaments is re-
ported as giving way under the belief that
the establishment of parliament would put
aD end to attempts on his life.

Canada viii Not tolerate Mormons.

OTTAWA, ONT, April 14.-The Mormon
question has been ventilated in parliament.
The house took up Sir John Thompson's bill
to amend the criminal law, and poIygamy is
included in the list of offenses Hon. Ed
ward Blake said the Mormon settlers in the
Canadian northwest form a dangerous ele-
ment, and urged that their abominable prac-
tees should be suppressed. From informa-
ton given him, he learned that the Mormons
who fed from Utah to Canada left their
wives at home and brought young girls with
them for companions. The clause re-
lating to polygamy was amended, raising the
penalty from two to five years Imprisonment.

Bishops at Loggsrheads.

CHICAGO, April 15.-The conference of the
German Evangelical church, being held in
the Sheffield Avenue church, was inaugurated,
as predicted, with row, and the police were
called out soon after the meeting assembled.
At o'clock the crowd in front of the door
became so dense that the street cars were
stopped. Deacon Bigman, of the Bishop
Dubs faction, who were inside and in posses
sion of the church, locked the doors and pre-
vented the entrance of Bishop Esher and his
followers. The greatest commotion followed.
The followers of Bishop Esher finally with.
drew, and started up a conference of their
own in neighboring church.

Wants NO Trinlng With Catholic Education

w anus no WIN SalhOiiC
LIVINGSTON, ONT, April 15.-Archbishop
Cleary has issued a circular letter to the
clergymen in his diocese respecting the rela-
ton of Roman Catholics to separate schools,
which has created decided sensation. The
archbishop charges the priests to call upon
every rate payer who deliberately chooses to
side with the enemy for the gradual destruc-
ition of Catholic education in this province
and announce to him in the name and author
ity of the bishop that bis action is rebellion
against the church, and that the archbishop
reserves to himself alone all power of absOlv-
ing such rebellious Catholic from his sins,
unless he shall have received such written
declaration that he heartily repents of hav-
ing injured the church, that he scandalized
his neighbors by withdrawal of his taxes from
Catholic education, and shall have promised
to become supporter of the separate school
at the earliest opportunity. On receipt of
such written declaration any priest of the
diocese may grant dissolution.

A Woman Two Hundred Years Old.

A case is on record of a woman who lived
to this advanced age, but it is scarcely neces-
sary to state that it was in ''the olden time.
Nowadays too many women do not live bali
their allotted years. The mortality due to
functional arrangements IN the weaker sex is
simply frightful, to say nothing of the indie
scribable suffering which makes life scarcely
worth the living to so many women. But Tor
these sufferers there is certain relief. DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription will positively
cure leucorrhea, painful menstruation, pro-
lapsus, pain in the ovsries, weak back; IN
short ali those complaints to which so many
women are martyrs. 1t is the only gltGrdIa-
