THE STATE OF TRADE.
The Recent Monetary Depression
Moving or in the North and Will
Soon be in the South.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review oil
trade. says: Crop prospects grow
brighter every day and with the as
surance that the country will not
only have enormous supplies of grain
but a market for it at good prices,
business is improving throughout
the north. The movement begins
close to the farms; country merch.
ants are buying more freely and their
purchases are felt by the wholesalers
and manufacturers.
REPORTS FROM THE CITIES.
Trade at Boston shows an improve
ment. AT Philadelphia there is a
general improvement, particularly in
wool and woolens, in dress goods,
in paints and in tobacco. At Cleve-
land, trade shows some improvement.
At Cincinnati trade is only fair,
southern business being smaller. At
Chicago an increase is noted in al
most every branch of trade. At st.
Louis business is increasing in almost
all lines, and at Kansas City general
trade. is improving and healthy. At
ST. Paul business is unusually brisk,
and country merchants are buying
freely
The south is in very difficult con-
ditiou. The great surplus of cotton
last year and the prospects of an
equally large crop this year, threaten
lower prices than the producers can
stand, and trade and collections are
both poor in that section.
THE MONEY MARKET.
The money market here continues
easy on call, and commercial paper
is rather more saleable here and in
other eastern cities, but there is still
q vague sense of uneasiness. The
treasury has taken in s.. 500, 900
more than it has paid out, but re-
ports Indicate that the government
will probably have to disburse $25,-
100000 or more about September
LIST. for X per cent bonds which the
holders do not offer for extension.
IMPORTS AND EXPORTS.
Foreign trade continues to improve
for while imports decline largely, the
exports for two weeks of August have
exceeded by nearly 10 per cent of the
corresponding week last year. In the
main interior money markets are in
fairly good condition excepting at
the south and at Philadelphia. Con-
fidencei is gaining at Boston, and rat
es are easy.
BUSINESS DISASTERS.

out the country during last week

THE LOVE usKnowN-A SONG.

Swee;heart, yen have not known me-
If am great or wise;
Yet, somewhere you shall own me
Beneath Gods splendid skies;
Though now life's broken chaiice
No earthly sweets can win;
Some day, at Loves own palace,
Your arms shall take me in!
Some day a rose will blossom
White in the thorny ways,
And on the dark Nights bosom
Will fall the mornings rays;
Some day when I am lying
Pale from the storm ard strife,
Your lips shall seek me, dying,
And kiss me back to life!
Then will the bird songs, ringing,
Fall soft on fields of bloom
Then will the streams flow singing
Through groves of rich perfume!
Then shall the world benighted,
The rarest splendor win,
And at Loves palace lighted
Your arms shall take me In!

The Greatest Show On Earth.

Barnum e. Bailey's Greatest Show on Earth
drew two enormous audiences to the tent on
the Deering grounds Saturday afternoon and
evening. Mr.. Perley, the press agent, in
formed the writer that there were Il, 900 spec
tators present at each performance, and
every seat was occupied.
1t isn't necessary to go into long, detailed
description Of the entertainment, when we
say that as far as the circus andits different
events is concerned, there never has been so
good an exhibition given In Portland; that
the animals are all, especially the lions and
tigers, remarkably fine specimens AMI show
ed careful feeding and attention that bet
ter lot of horses, has never appeared on the
grounds, and, finally, the spectacle of Nero
was superbly presented. In the spectacle
there was nothing little or cheap. The enor-
nous ballet was admirably drilled. was COM
posed of young. pretty and graceful women,
and magnifcently costumed, the various cos
tunes mingling In superb eff ct of color.
The singing Of the chorus was excellent and
when the triumphal procession took place
the pageant was of the highest order.
Among the performers the riding of Messrs.
Fish, O'BrioD, O'Dale, and the Misses Cavan
was very pleasing. The Arabians Mr.. o.
Brion drove were present originally from
the Khedlve of Egypt to the King of Wur-
temberg, and the leader was superb crea-
ture. The Meers Sisters showed remarka-
BILE horsemanship. in fact. all the features
that have been dwelt upon day after day In
these columns were exactly as advertised.
1t is certain the Barnum & Bailey show
g-ows better as 1t grows older.

a POLICE STATION MYSTERY.
case of Joseph Haley who Was
Found Dead In a Cell.

Last Saturday afternoon Officers Pickett
and Skillings found a man named Joseph
Haley on Fore street, apparently dead
drunk and breathing heavily. They took the
man to the station and placed him in cell
to sleep off his supposed drunk. About IL
p. M Deputy Sterling noticed the heavy
breathing of the man had stopped and he
went into the cell. He found Haley dead
Dr. Thayer, the city physician was sent for.
Investigation revealed the fact that while
Haley had been a drinking man some time
ago, he had been temperate for quite a
while. and was sober up to p. III. on July
4.h. 1t was after that time when the officers
found him in his supposed drunken state
After death his neck swelled badly in plac-
es, and the city physician didn't think that
alcoholism was the principal cause OF his
death, but while he might have taken glass
of liquor after the time he was seen to be
sober, it might have caused him to fall and
receive injuries from which death resulted.
Later it was stated that Haley was one Of a
party of men who drank of some of the stuff
intended to be diluted into the liquor, now
commonly known as coffin varnish." To
make sure, If possible, of the cause of death
Coroner Gould will hold an inquest at 80
o'clock today. Haley was about 3S years old
and unmarried. He has sister living in the
