New York, March 2.-R. G. Dun
Il Co.'S Weekly Review OF Trade says:
There Is not much change In the con-
dition OF trade, but there Ia little more
dullness at the south and the northwest,
with little more stringency In money
markets aud complaint about slow col
lections. In general business Is still
hesitating. The larger cause is un-
doubtedly the partial loss OF crops,
which has left great many farmers
without money for their usual pur-
chases. AT the same time the collapse
OF the real estate boom, which so wildly
innated prices throughout the west and
south, has affected business more than
has yet been realized. To this influence
is added at the south the extremely low
price OF cotton, which Affects farmers
the more because 50 many of them tried
by holding back their crops, 10 force a
higher level OF prices.
The money markets, though still gem
orally called easy, give signs OF steady
approach to stringency and at Omaha
money Is quite close; at Milwaukee In
active; at Cleveland rather stringent,
much being locked up In iron ore. At
Boston some scarcity Of loanable funds
Is noticed and rather firm and higher.
Southern reports generally note fair
demand, but no improvement In trade,
while northwestern points are, on the
whole less favorable than before as to
the state OF business.
A. Denver business Is better, and At
Milwaukee.
No change is noticed at Kansas City
and ST. Paul, but 1t is only fair at
Omaha.
Business at eastern cities has been ir-
regular. On the whole trade is
strengthened by comparative scarcity,
and prices OF some grades are higher.
There has been an advance on the
average prices of all commodities
amounting to one-half OF per cent for
the week but it has been almost exclu-
sively in products OF which receipts
were short.
The price OF wheat has not advanced,
western continuing heavy, while ex-
ports are light.
Corn has risen 2ic and oats lie. A
speculative advance Of &c is also seen in
coffee.
The exports OF merchandise from
New York for the past four weeks have
been one-fourth per cent less than for
the same weeks last year and imports
also decreased little-about ten per
cent
The business failures during the last
seven days number 290 as against 297 OF
last week, and for the corresponding
week OF last year figures were 30l.

Washington, March 2.-Ths Indian
appropriation bill, which passed the
senate last night and Is now in confer
ence, carries as appropriation OF about
I sl5, 100, 600 This Is one Of the largest
| Indian appropriation bills ever passed
The usual amount carried for this de-
putment Of the public service Is about
81, 900, 600. The bill this year provides
for carrying out five Indian treaties

the land purchased Of the Indians. The
Cheyenne and Arapahoe treaty calls for
about $1,000, 90; the PottaNatomie

for SD 900: the CEuer d'Alene Indians
OF Idaho are 10 get $500, 600 for their
lands; the Mandans Arickarees and
GrOs Nentres Of North Dakota, are 10
receive $50. 900 "A year for ten years; the
SissetOns and Wahpetons, also % North
Dakota, are to receive 81 203 900: and
the purchase OF the Grow reservation in
Montana involves an expenditure OF
sg4d,O0O. These appropriations were ia
the bill as IL came from the house, but
the senate has added a provision for the
payment Of the ChOctaws and Chicka-
SAWS against the Cheyenne and Arapa-
hoe lands, thus making the necessary
outlay about $1,000 900 more, or nearly
5000. 900 for the ratification OF recent
Indian treaties Tho legislation thus

KETTLE FALLS, Wash, |
June %, 1891.
To the Editor: :

To the Editor:
Friday, April I'd, at noon, we ar
rived at Helena, Mont. This is the
richest city Of it's size i'm the United
States. 1t has about IA. 900 inhab-
itants, of which more than 35 are
millionaires. 1t is situated at the
west end of the Yellowstone Valley,
in the centre of n splendid farming
and mining region. The city is built
on a broad, level plain, and has all
the city improvements. The build
ings are mostly two and three sto-
ries high, both brick and wood. In
the background is the fashionable
quarter here are seen palatial resi-
dences on a gentle eminence overlook
ing the town. We stopped here long
enough to get dinner and then com
menced a twelve hours journey across
the Rocky Mountains. As we left
Helena the road began TO ascend
with light grade we had the help
of an extra engine. Soon we came To
heavy grades, and from the green
fields at Helena to fields of snow.
We went up and up, circling around
peaks, until we got TO the proper ell
ovation, then going through tunnels
to the summit of the ridge beyond,
now crossing huge trestles, then pass
ing through long snow sheds, erected
TO keep the snow from drifting on the
tracks. In this way we reached the
summit of the Rocky Mountains.
On the west side it is one gradual de-
scent to that great plateau east Of
the Cascade Mountains.
Saturday morning at 30 we ar
rived at Spokane, the Magic City Of
the West" This is a city of about
10000 inhabitants, situated on the
Spokane river, at the Falls, from
which the city has taken it's name.
The city council recently voted to
drop the word Falls from the city
name. Hereafter il will be known
simply as Spokane. 1t won't be the
fault of real estate men il this don't
make n great city. They have lots
laid in every direction at least four
miles beyond the suburbs. This is
typical western town. Everything
has a new look, as though it were
built yesterday, although they have

here long enough to change cars
from the Northern Pacific to the
Spokane & Northern, where we took
the train for Kettle Falls, new city
100 miles north of Spokane. We en-
tered pine forest, unbroken except
by numbering camps through which
we passed. At noon we came to the
station of Kettle Falls. There was a
sign on one corner " Public Tele-
phone" " in the centre " Ticket Ofiice." 3"
| and at the other end Baggage of
fee" and all this in one box car.
We were at our journeys end, having
ridden about 2,7OO miles nfour days
and five nights, and losing only 3h
hours on the road. We haC
