Any Present Depression in Trade Will
Be ShOrt-Lived.
The review of the week trade by Dun &
Co. contains the following:
At most places trade seems healthy, and
there is not more than the usual complaint
about collections At Philadelphia collec-
lions are bad in groceries. Pittsburg notes
that railroad orders are held back waiting
for crop results, and, while window glass
does we'll, flint glass has slack business, At
Cleveland dry goods. groceries, hardware
and shoes improve fairly, but machinery,
iron ore and clothing are dull. At Cincin-
natl the tobacco trade is brisk, but the car
riage trade is not quite up to last years
Detroit notes good prospects, though
margins are dull. At Chicago dry goods
sales exceed last years considerably, as do
salesSof clothing, and there are fair coun-
try orders for shoes. Crop reports are very
satisfactory, the recent rains having been
of inestimable value The business fail

ABATEMENT AT A MINISTER,
EDITORS COURSE.

He Prints Brewery Advertisements in His,
Paper and Breezily Defends His Action
A Remarkable Article Which VIII Be
Read bv Strait-Laced Christians with No
Little Advertisements.
The Rev. E. p. Foster has for several
years been prominent Congregationalist
minister in Cincinnati Several months.
ago because of advanced ideas on labor
questions he resigned his pastorate, but
not the ministry, and began the publica-
tion of weekly paper. Two weeks ago
he published brewery advertisement.
A great sensation was caused. This
week he printed two columns of such ads
vertiSementS, and says among other
things, in defending his conduct
81 advertise the breweries because T
conscientously think it is the right
thing to do-a strict duty under the
present circumstances. This paper is
not church paper, as some seem to
have inferred from its title, nor is it adj
vocating Sunday-school measures of re-
form. There are evils, many and great,
in the liquor traffic, but when that is
thrust forward as the chiefs of the
devouriug monsters in modern society,
then that assertion itself becomes tre-
mendous stumbling block in the way Of
reform. The liquor business does not
injure those who let 1t alone. The church
has lost the respect of the masses be-
cause it is built upon and is the advo-
cate Of the system, that continually rObS
and defrauds the people. 1t is in the
pay of the oppressor of the masses, and
tries to hush the people into submission
by telling them of the dispensation of an
overriding Providence, and that their
wrongs will be righted in the world to
come. The church pretends to be loyal
to Christ, yet detiantly tramples upon
His commands.
"The dailes of Cincinnati all advertise
bEeweries and business men of the high
est church standing advertise alongside
the liquor advertisements, even in the
the Sunday editions. Church members
buy these papers and vote for the candi-
dates supported by them. There is not
a preacher in town that refuses to have
his sermons reported by them, or who,
when honOred in this way, is ashamed to
purchase such papers-saloon advertise
ments and all and send them abroad to
his friends. In the Cincinnati church Of
which [ was pastor, when the deacons
and their wives had neglected to pre-
pare wine for the communion service,
they sent the janitor out Sunday morning
before church time to saloon to buy
bottle of wine for the sacramento service.
eff company of young men go to a
saloon Sunday morning and drink a bot
tie of wine the shocked church calls that
a frightful sin. But if the young men
had joined the church. and instead Of
drinking in the saloon had waited until
the deacon had sent the janitor out,
without regard to the, Sunday laws on
: the subject, and he had bought at the
saloon that same bottle of wine and
brought it to the church. and the young
men had drank that same wine around
the church altar, the act would then
have been religious rite, the hottest Of
sacraments."
The Article causes a profound sensa-
ton among the religious population Of
the city.

RECEIVED $4,000 POUNDS OF
MAIL.
AZ Mining Camp ion the Rio Grande Gets
$50 Sacks of Papers in Week.

It is reported from Ilium, small min
ing camp in Colorado, on the Rio Grande
Southern Railroad, that during the last
week $50 sacks of mail have arrived
there. The sacks contained newspa-
pers, and all those so far examined were
New York I1ribu4lcs of March 9. They
were mailed in 2-cent wrappers, and all
were addressed to Charles S. Newton,
superintendent of the Caribbean Mine.
The sending of so much mail matter
looks like a scheme to rob the Govern
ment This is the period when railroads
weigh mail matter, on which their pay
from the Government is based. The
average of several lines between New
York and Colorado has been fattened,
but the local railroad officials say they
would not profit much by the shipment.
Newton, the man who received the 40
O00 pounds Of mail, has been summoned
to Washington.

A BLOW AT TRUST COMPANIES.
Under Certain Circumstances They Have
No Recourse in Law.

Under Certain Circumstances They Have
No Recourse in Law.
A trust company has no recourse in
law if member of the trust violates the
agreement not to go into business again
is the substance of decision by Judge
Thayer Of the United States Court, St.
Louis, Mo. The decision was rendered
in the case of the American PreserverS
Company against the Taylor Manufact-
uring Company. For years prior to 1883
the Taylor Company had been carrying
on it's business in ST Louis, but
the tempter came, and the Ameri-
IAN Preservers' Trust bought out
business, for which it was to
10y part cash and the balance in trust
certificates. The Taylor Company
agreed not to go into business again in
this country for twenty-five years, or
until the trust died In 1890 the COM
pany did go into business again, and
when the American Preservers Company
brought suit to enjoin it, it claimed the
agreement only bound the three stock
holders who had signed. AS the trust
did not alIege that the company was
bound by the action of those stOckhold-
ers, it was compelled to file another pc
tition, and the Taylor Company then
replied, saying that even if the company
was bound by the agreement such con-
tracts were unlawful in the State Of
Missouri The demurrer to the bill was
sustained

Dislike the New French Traiff.

There is d strong feeling in British trade
circles likely to be affected by the French
tariff in favor of retalatory duties on
French wines, etc. This would be a serious
matter for France the United Kingdom be-
ing the best customer for that countrys ex
ports. 1t is estimated that the new French
tariff will diminish British exports to
France to the amount of about 97, 100000
annually, and British manufacturers do
not know where to find market for their
goods thus barred from French markets.

The purchase by Cornelius Vanderbilt of

reasons. In the first place Mr.. Vanderbilt
has probably paid for the property much
larger sum of money than has ever before
been paid for any Fifth avenue property of
similar character and dimensions. The eX-
act amount does not seem TO be commonly
known, but it is learned on good authority
that it was over $3.50, 900. The market price

borhood of $4,000 Mr.. Vanderbilt intends
