Financial, commercial, and industrial
statistics still indicate, on the whole, a
considerable decrease in the volume of
business this year compared with last,
but there is curious irregularity in the
change. Some cities and sections gain;
also some branches of trade and manu-.
features: while others fall behind. New
York. Boston. Philadelphia, Baltimore.
Pittsburgh. st. Louis and Kansas City
are falling behind last years trade, but
Chicago, and generally the cities of the
region between the Alleghanies and the
Mississippi north of the Ohio, are gain
ing largely, and the gain on the Pacific
coast is large. Part of the Southern
cities gain, but part loose. Among
branches of industry and trade, iron and
steel fall much behind last year, while
the wooden manufacture gains largely,
cotton and boots and shoes show some
gain, and pork packing increases heavily,
but the silk manufacture is much de.
pressed.
An interesting article from the pen of
Hon. James 6. Blaine appears in the
Youths Companion for March 9Th, on
the methods of reporting debates in
Congress and how the same have grown
from very Insignificant proportions in
1889 to the vast size reached by the
daily Congressional Globe of today.
The reports of the Twenty-sixth Cong
ress take scarcely one sixth OF the space
given to the reports of the Fiftieth
Congress, Should the proceedings Of
Congress for the next thirty six years
be reported upon in the Increasing ratio

business Of the Supreme Court is

There is nothing in the experiment of
burning petroleum now being tried in
the cotton mills at Lowell to indicate
that crude oil will not come more and
more into favor az fuel. The Standard
Oil people are engaged in perfecting the
mechanical devices for burning petro-
eum IN the mills of the fremont and
Suffolk corporations, Boston. A recent
cable dispatch stated that Italy was upon
the point OF introducing petroleum into
its fleet of war vessels. Experts are
gradually coming to the conclusion that
petroleum is destined to cut prominent
figure in the power-room of our factories
in the future displacing coal, and posi-
bly, in some cases the electric motor.
