New Yorker Gig. q is shown one Of these
carts which, as a matter of fact, is moth
ing but the front axle and wheels of a
wagon so arranged that they can be
hitched to any vehicle when extra power
is required.
A new use has recently been discovered
for the tow cart. Fig. in the first cut
shows a pair of hooks to be attached to
tow cart-the front wheels of farm
wagon. the pole OF which has been made
rigid. The draft rope from horse hay
fork, worked with carrier, is attached
to the upper hook, and can be released
at the proper moment without stopping
the team. A good man on the load will
have another forkful ready by the time
the team gets back. From the second
hook chain can be conveniently used in
hauling empty wagons off the barn floor
and in bringing in the loaded wagons
from the barnyard. 1t is also told that a
catch may be used, which releases the
draft rope by pressing lever, thus en-
abling the driver to ride.

FINANCE AND TRADE.
The Feeling Of Confidence Dis
tinctly Increases,
NOTWITHSTANDING DULL TRADE

The Sales of Wool at Rostou, New
York and Philadelphia Aggregate
$4,000, 900 OPounds-Lowcr Prices
for CommodIties-Bus Fail
ures.
NEW YORK, Aug. 7.-R. G. Dun g.
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
With business in many places idisap-
pointedly dull, the feeling of confidence
nevertheless distinctively increases. Its
basis is that crop prospects grow clearer
and brighter, while prospects of foreign
demand for American grain expand
with every weeks news. Depressions
in some great industries continues and
is real, but may be traced to causes OBJ
viously not permanent. Thus, the iron
manufacture is much set back by inalil-
ity of railroads to make purchases be-
cause they fail to negotiate securities.
Cotton manufacture still finds fairly
large demand and at some reduction in
prices, most goods are moving fairly.
Bleached goods are lower and print
cloths dull.
Wool Manufactures Improving.
Wool manufacture is distinctly i'm
proving, and sales of wool at Boston
rose to 8, 5,196, 900 pounds, the sales there,
at Philadelphia and New York since
Jan. 1. being 148, ,000, 900 pounds, against
13S ,0O0,0 900 last year to the same date.
At Boston trade in merchandise in
creases, and is very good for boots and
shoes, and western and southern reports
are quite favorable Chicago feels the
effect of great crops distinctly, wheat
receipts being sevenfold last years; rye,
fivefold; barley, twofold; wool nearly
double; and in corn, beef, butter and
hides some increase appears, as also in
sales of dry goods. At other western
points the crop prospects are almost
everywhere mentioned as unsurpassed.
Prices of Commodities Lower.
Prices of commodities are going
down, and for the first time this year
the general level is lower than year
ago, having declined 1.2 per cent. the
past week. Financial prospects have
not changed, and though money on call
is cheap commercial loans are made
with caution. Foreign imports of mer-
chandise in New York in July fell 10
per cent. below last year, while exports
largely increased. The demand for money
to move crops begins to be felt by many
banks, and during the week the treas
ury has taken in from circulation $780,
900 more than it has paid out. Foreign
exchange has fallen from $4.s6A to
Sl.s64, and some talk of gold imports is
now heard.
Business Failures.
The business failures occurring
throughout the country during the last
seven days number for the United
States 207, and for Canada "a, or total
of 231, as compared with total of 247
Lat week, and 254 the week previous to
tie last. For the corresponding week
of last year the figures were POS, repre-
senting li9 failures in the United States

The London police insist on theory
of suicide. The police have found that
the woman Woolfe was insured for
$50 for tho benefit of her son, and they
allege that she probably cut herself in
order TO give the impression of rip
per- murder and to secure the insurance
to her son, she being aged and feeble,
and with no interest i'll life. Physicians,
however, say that it was impossible for
the woman herself to have inflicted the
wounds, and some critics aver that the
police are hopeless of catching the mur-
derer and wish to dismiss the crime as
sell perpetrated.

The Nantucket Lightship.

pitches and plunges rears and rolls, year
in and year out, twenty-four miles off San
katy Head, Nantucket island, with the
broad ocean to the eastward, and rips and
breakers to the westward, northward and
southwark. No. l, Nantucket, New South
Shoal, is lightship-the most desolate and
dangerous station in the United States
lighthouse establishment. Upon this toss
ing island, out of sight of land, exposed to
the fury of every tempest, and without a
message from home during all the stormy
months of winter, and sometimes even
longer, ten men, Drawing the perils of wind
and wave, and the worse terrors of isoa-
ton. trim the lamps whose light warns
thousands of vessels from certain destruc-
ton, and hold themselves ready to save life
when the warning is vain.
When vessels have been driven helplessly
upon the shoals over which the South
Shoal lightship stands guard, her crew
have not hestated to lower their boat in
seas which threatened every moment to
stave or to ingulf it, and to pull, often in
the teeth of furious gale, to the rescue of
the shipwrecked, not only saving their
lives, but afterward sharing with them,
often to their own great discomfort, such
cheer as the lightship affords. Yet who
