"a Geneva chemist claims that he
can make pure chloroform by a new
process, in which one feature is the re-
duclion of the gas to 1870 degrees be-
low zero. As the greater part of
deaths from chloroform are due to i'm
purities, this, declares the San Fran
cisco Chronicle. will greatly lessen tho
danger from using the drug and will
probably diminish the vogue of CO.

DUN's WEEKLY REVIEW.
Money is More Plentiful and the
Outlook is Much More Cheerful.

Outlook is Much More Cheerful.
r. G. Dun's weekly review of trade
says: All returns of the condition of
business are encouraging,
There is no room for doubt about
the improvement in trade. From
nearly every city reporting the same
cheering information comes that bust
ness is better and prospects brighter.
The government crop report is one of
the most favorable ever issued. 1t is
not impossible that some injuries sus-
tanned since the detailed reports were
forwarded from the different coun-
ties may reduce the yield somewhat
below the indications of the official
returns. AL the south the improve.
ment is general, especially at Louis
vile, Memphis, Savannah and At
lanta, and at New Orleans trade is
more active, rice being especially
strong, and money in good demand.
The enormous receipts of wheat
have depressed prices. Exports con-
tinue large, and not quite so short as
has been reported, though short
enough to cause the unprecedented
demand from this country. Thus the
price of wheat has fallen l-2 cents
during the past week, with sales of
$4,000, 900 bushels. Corn declined
but little, and oats only cent. Pork
products are higher, and oil about
cents lower.
The great industries are making
satisfactory progress. The weekly
output of iron September / was no.
646 tons, against 1895 last month
and at the same date last year, IN
ZIG tons. Production has been main
tanned for three months within about
10000 tons weekly of the largest
quantity ever reached, and consump-
ton cannot be far behind, because
there is no yielding in prices, but
decidedly stronger tone in the market.
Both here and at Philadelphia, larger
demand is seen for finished products.
especially for bar iron, and the plate
mills are full of orders. But in rails
no change is seen. The prospect is
better, because stocks ana bonds are
III greater demand. Wool is selling
fairly well at all important mars cts
and there is seen better demand for
dry goods. which gives much encour-
agement to manufacturers.
THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK
is clearer. While shipments of gold
from Europe were not strictly upon
an exchange basis, the rate of sterling
exchange has fallen $4.85 "a during
the week, and exports of merchan-
disc from New York for the past two
weeks have exceeded those of the
same week last year by more than so
per cent, while in imports there ap-
pears decrease of 20 per cent The
government has paid out over s1O.-
100000 for bonds not~ex+endcd, and
further disbursements on the same
account a re expected, though the treas
ury is restricting other payments for
the time as far as possible.
The opening of Germany and Den
mark to Am eric N pork products has
lifted the price of pork half a dollar
per barrel. With the greatest crops
ever grown and an unprecedented
foreign demand for grain and meats,
the prospect must be considered unu.
sually encouraging.
