{ LITTLE Rock, Ark, April 1S.- The
presidential train arrived in Little Rock
ut h:45 o'clock last evening after an un-
eveniful run from Memphis. The great
hrkansas swamp region through which
the train passed was rather monotonous,
lut the president seemed to enjoy the
euxuriant foliage and the picturesque
negro cabins. At Madison, u small
village on the banks Of the st. Francis
river, WAS brought to q standstill to en-
nble the president TO hear q serenade by
n band of negros. AT Forest a large
crowd cheered the president as the train
gent by, and at Brinhley salute was
bred from cannon and several hundred
people gave vent to their lungs. Car
hsle, village thirty miles from Little
Gock, turned out hundred people to
greet the president. Here the wife Of
Governo rEagle and a number of other
ladies, forming q committee of recep-
zion, met the train and proceeded with
Il to Little Rock.
Rock was enthusiastic; cannon doomed
and steam whistles blew. Escorted by
military organizations, the presidential
party proceeded to the state capitol, in
front of which gaiiy decorated grand
stand had been erected. The presiden-
tial party were given seats on the plat
form with the governor and state officers,
federal and state Judiciary, reception
committee and mayor and town council.
In front of the grand stand several thous-
Jnnd people were packed, and the people
eheered Justify when the President was
introduced and made short speech, and
Postmaster General Wanamaker and
Secretary Rusk followed with brief re-
marks.
No Demonstrations on Sunday.
The houses along the line of the route
In Little Rock were peofusefy decorated
with bunting and the capital building
was covered with flags. Governor Hogg,
OF Texas, has telegraphed that he will
meet the president at Palestine in that
state, and Brig, Gen. Stanley, sonlmand-
ibg the department of Texas, and his
personal staff will join the party at Gal
weston and accompany it to San An
tonia. Brig. Gen. McCook will accom-
pany the party through his department
from Ell Paso to Los Angeles.
i The president informed the commit
tee IN charge of arrangements at Gal
weston that he preferred that there be no
demonstration in that city on Sunday
next, as it Is his desire to devote the
whole day to much needed rest. The
krsview of school children arranged for
that day will therefore be abandoned

READING, Pa, April 1s.-A miracu-
lous escape from death was made by
little girl. A street car was coming
down the steep grade when the child ran
on the track and fell. The driver rap
idly applied the brakes and turned the
horses to one side; but all his efforts
would have been in vain had it not been
for an unknown gentleman standing on
the side platform of the car, who bent
forward and caught up the child just as
the wheels grazed her dress.

FINANCE And TRADE.
The Outlook for improvements in
Trade Encouraging.
A GREAT sHRINKAGE IN IRON.

Finished Products, Though, Espec-
tally Structural Iron and Rails, in
Better Demand-Anthracit Coal
Still Unimproved-Busine EN-
barrnssments.
NEW YORK, April 1e.-R. G. Dun g
Co.'s weekly review Of trade says:
With better weather there is visible i'm
proyement in trade and collections, and
while it is but slight as yet, the outlook
for the future is generally regarded as
encouraging. o
Meanwhile the volume of trade con-
tinues nearly as large in aggregate value
as 1t was year ago, some decrease in
quantities of important products being
balanced by an advanced level of prices,
which was nearly is per cent higher
than a year ago, April 1, and is still
then 13 per cent. higher.
The iron trade shows greater shrink
age than any other. There is seen a
somewhat better demand for finished
products, especially for structural iron
and rails.
The Coal Trade.
The anthracite coal trade still drags,
the reported output, 9,O50,G7l tons, be-
ing ,778, ,462 tons greater than last year
to same date. Consumption of copper
is slow, and tin is aquarter weaker, with
lead dull. The spinners takings of cot
ton continue slightly greater than year
ago, exports very much larger.
Wool is dull at Boston; the demand
for merchandise generally has improved
and retail trade has been quite heavy
Trade at Philadelphia is only fair. Some
kinds Of finished iron at Pittsburg are
weaker, but glass unchanged. At Cleve-
Land trade is generally inactive. Some
Improvement is seen at Cincinnati and
also at Detroit.
In the West and South.
The sales of dry goods at Chicago fall
trifle below those of last year, and
clothing 10 quiet, but shoes active and
collections in all those trades good. Re-
ceipts of lard and butter show slight de-
crease, and Of dressed beef and cheese
some increase, with considerable gain in
wool. At Omaha, st. Paul, Minneapolis
and Denver trade is fairly good. prices
OF lumber and -four improving.
Business is dull at Kansas City and
Memphis, but improved at New Orleans
and Atlanta. In speculative markets
there has been a general advance in
breadstuffs, hogs and lard, dull decline
in oil, and no change in cotton and cof-
fee. Large export demand, and reports
Of scarcity abroad, have lifted wheat
2tc. to $l19t, with sales of $4,000 900
bushels here, and oats have risen &c. and
corn Of on small sales.
Business Failures.
The business failures occurring
throughout the country during the last
seven days number for the United
States 217, and for Canada 81, or total
of 25f, as compared with total of 243
last week and 243 the week previous to
the last. For the corresponding week
of last year the figures were 214, repre-
senting 1871 failures in the United States
and SO in the Dominion of Can,ada.

finest effort yet made to please the wonder.
fully fine audience the Lecture Association
Course has drawn this year. One great
feature of the singing Of this Club is the
distinctness with which they pronounce
each word. Not syllable was uttered
by the singers that could not be heard
by the audience. Miss Marshall's reading
was also captivating. From the first
syllable that escaped her lips 1t was evil
dent that she had captured the audience,

effectually.
