TREND OF TRADE.
An Interestin Resume of the
Northwestern Situation.


Manager J. j. Corcoran. OF Dun's mer-
camille agency, says of the trade Situa-
ton that in some lines of SeaSo nable
goods there is moderate activity, but as
a rule there is a leSSened movement of
merchandise and business is more quiet.
This condition, however. is temporary.
and merely incidental to the season. A
week of bright weather would probably
alleviate any present dullneSs.
Our reports indicate that seeding has been
quite general through South Dakota ana
Southern Minnesota, and has commenced in
localities further north Rains have been
abundant, and the ground is reported in bet
ter condition tor spring work than for sey-
eral years past. No mparsons can vet be
offered as to differences III acreage. The
general conditions affecting trade are spe-
cially promising. The crop of last year was
large, fairly well distributed, and was mar
keted at unusual prices. The movement
since Jan: has been unprecedentedly
large and has not disturbed values There
is unquestionably larger amo unit of money
i'll the interior than for some years. Altered
conditions have frightened the prospects of
stock raising and other Industries, and intel
ligent farmers are turning their attention in
larger degree i'll these directions. This
means greater diversity of industries, and
larger opportunity for steady prosperity
The territory finding its natural and most
profitable market in this center. is gradully
widening, and freight rates are now such
that competition from rival distributing
points is being materially lessened 1t only
remains for enterprise TO grasp the oportuni-
ties offered.
Collections are dull, and in some quarters
there is complaint This is attributed, as
usual, 10 the poor condition of country roads
and the occupation of farmers in spring
work. 1t is no doubt true, however, that the
fears of legislative mischief have much to do
with this. Country merchants find it diff
cult to obtain loans from their banks, even
on good security, the apprehension Of posi-
BILE legislative action being given as the
reason for refusal. There would be a general
feeling of confidence, which is the only ele
ment now apparently lacking, if all fears of
antagonistic action i'll our legislature could

UNIFORM BUILDING PLANS.
Inspector Johnson Urges One Cen

Inspector johnson Urges One Cen
eral Ordinance.
Building Inspector johnson is an en-
thuslast on all matters pertaining to the
building interests. His idea of a national
building ordinance, as given to GLOBE
report er, is very commendable and in
tereSting. Hes says:
My idea that the same building ord:-
nance should be adopted by eyety city in the
United States. 1t should cover the whole
city in every case without regard to fire
limits. This could be accomplished by re-
curing all frame buildings TO be built with q
space between them; the loss of four to
eight feet frontage in the business portion of
a city will prevent the erection of wooden
buildings. while such rule, if observed in
the residence portion. would be no hard
ship. An attempt ought TO be made to
correct the present practice of allowing
anything infiammable 10 be built outside of
the fire limit for this section will in time be-
come thickiy settled. Factories, whether in
a country town or large city, should have
adequate stairways i'll proportion to the
height ana number of people employed.
And the same in regard to theaters grading
them according to the seating capacity To
prevent loss of life in hotels special attention
ought TO be given TO proper exits. The
building ordinance soould give the owner
permission to follow his own ideas as to de-
tail, but the general plan she1ld be such as

the condition of the future. The older
cities are becoming creditably equipped
in this direction, but none of them
compare with the provisions of the
chief European capitals. Berlin, with
5000 acres, is the only one of them
that falls behind New York. Paris has
$4,000 acres of parks, which is more
than all the parks combined Of New
York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Boston.

palpably vastly easier to procure the
land for these centers of recreation and
attraction in the early periods and be-
fore their necessity is most urgent.
The value of spacious parks is not to be
estimated in real estate data.

WHAT THEY THINK.

The chief news feature of to-day's
GLOBE is the series Of interviews which
IS given on the work of the present leg
lslature, and more particularly on the
effect of the recent changes made in the
city charter. The opinions published
are from a wide variety of sources, and
from men of position, but of every
shade of partisan affiliation and predi-
lection. AS might be expected, views
of all sorts are expressed, both on what
the legislature has done in general, and
on its attempted reform in our local
government. To take the essence
of all the expressions offered, there
seems TO be prevalent general
feeling of indeciSion in reaching a con-
clusion Oh these questions. The full
result of the bills passed cannot be APP
preciated until they have been collated,
and in many cases until they have been
given a fair trial. There is a tone of
cheerfulnesS in all classes at the out
look, and it is hoped that good in high
degree will be the outcome of the win
ter'S agitation and effort.
The GLOBE is in sympathy with this
view. 1t will support by encouraging
words our public officials as they under
take the application of the laws enacted,
and it is satisfied that in the end things
will work together for the highest ad-
vancement of the city and common
wealth.

money to sell at profit to the Illinois

Duration OF Lightning.

Authorities differ as to the time of
duration OF the lightning flash; but all
agree that it is less than the lO,OOOth
part Of a second. The experiment
which establishes this fact is due to
the late Sir Charles Wheatstone. A
disk, divided into alternate sections
of black and white, is caused to rotate
very rapidly on it's axis, and by day
light it appears of a uniform grey. If
lightning, occurring in the dark. rem
der the separate sections visible, it is
plain that the duration of the light
must be less than the time of revolu-
ton through the breadth of one Sec
tor.
The experiment was tried with q
disk of sixty sectors and making $50
revolutions in a second, so that the
time OF turning through the space of
one sector is the 10, 8OOth part of a.
second. When the disk, rotating with
this velocity, is rendered visible by
lightning, black and white sectors
are seen with grey ones intervening.
This shows that the flash is not alb
solutely instantaneous, for in this ase
the sectors would be seen sharplyde
fined without any alienation Of grey.

Sunday in Connecticut in 1893.

The following anecdote. Which APP
peared in the Salem, Massachusetts,
Mercury of August IL, 1888, shows
both what kind of stories was pleas
ing to our ancestors, and how our an
cestors thought a story should be
told.
A gentleman in the State of Connect
icut regularly attended worship on
the Lords day with all his family; on
the Sunday evening he. always cate
chised his children and servants on
the principles of religion, and what
they heard the minister deliver from
the pulpit.
He had a negro man who never
could remember a note of the sermon,
though otherwise smart. At last his
master peremptorily told him he
would on Monday morning tie him up
and fog him.
Next Sunday evening, when inrerro-
gated, he had forgotten all. On Mon
day morning his master executes his
threat so far as to tie him up.
The fellow then cried out, 80 mas
ter, spare me, for [ remember some
thing the minister said"
"What is lt?" said the master.
The fellow replied, "This much may
suffice at this time"
The master was so pleased with his
wit that he forgave him.
