With better weather there is visible i'm
provement in trade in collections, and while
it is but slight yet the outlook for the future
is generally regarded as encouraging. Mean
while the volume of trade continues nearly
as large in aggregate value as it was a year
ago, some decrease in quantities OF import
products being balanced by an advance in
the level of prices, which was nearly 10 per
cent higher than year ago, April l, and IS
still more than ID per cent. higher. The IRON
trade shows greater shrinkagc than any
other, the decrease in charcoal iron produce
ton in March having been l,S5 tons,
and in all iron, with reductions IN
coke output, 21,s63 tons. The output 10
65,31 tons, or $3.50 per cent lower than year
ago There is seen somewhat better de-
manG for finished products. and especially
for structural iron and rails, and 10000 tons
of rails have been sold during the week.

$4,000 tons The anthracite coal trade still
drags. the reported output, 9159,67l tons, he
ing 1,173, 49, tons greater than last year to
the same date. Consumption of copper is
slow, and tin is a quarter weaker, with lead
dull. The SpinnerS takingS of cotton con-
tinue slightly greater than year ago, with
exports very much larger. Wool is dull,
Boston being but 2,2S2 400 pounds for the
week. At Boston the demand for mer
chandiSe generally has improved, and
retail trade has been quite heavy.
Trade at Philadelphia is only fair. Some
kinds OF finished iron at Pittsburgh are
weaker, but glass unchanged. Cleveland
trade is generally inactive, some improve
tnent is seen at Cincinnati and also at De-
trot. The sales of dry goods at Chicago fall
trifie below those of last year, and cloth

in all those trades good. Receipts of lard
and butter show slight decrease, 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 flour improving.
Business is dull al Kansas City and Mem
phis, but improved at New Orleans and At
lanta. In speculative markets there has
been general advance in breadstuffs, hogs

cotton and coffee. Larger export demand,

The Support a Wife May Claim.
The Chatauqua.
At common law and in the great
majority of states, a wife, however
wealthy she may be in her own
right, may yet claim and receive
from her husband necessaries suitab g
to his means, however poor he Is.
And there are very few states where
a wife property may be taken in pay
ment tor necessaries for berself or for
the family, ever if the husband
is penniless aud can not pay. Unless,
of course, the wife contracts for me-
c~essaries on her own credit instead OF
his IN which case she and her proper
ty may now be held nearly every.
where. But the support which she
can claim is only such as aCcOrds
with her husbands means, not her
own. And he is the sole arbiter as to
the place where the family shall live
and the manne OF life, so that it be
reasonably nealthful and cOmfOrta-
BILE. In a recent case, a wife owned Il
fine house and estate where she wish
ed TO reside with her husband and
family, but he required nor 10
live elsewhere with him In a much
humber fashion, probably expecting
her to lease her own place and apply
the rem money to family expenses.
1t was held that she must 60 with
him where he chose to establish the
family dOmiciIe, and that if she re.
fused so to do, it would be desertiOn
on her part.
