New York, March Or. c. Dun &
Co. e weekly Review OF Trade says:
The one unwholesome factor IS that
prices OF commodities are moving up-
ward rather rapidly, the average hav-
ing risen more than 10 per cent during
the last week and the exports OF mer-
chandise are thus liable 10 be restricted.
Reports OF trade from all parts OF the
country show little change since last
week though there is perhaps a little
less activity ON the whole. The south
feels the continued drain in cotton but
the trade in that section Is moderately
fair. Business at st. Louis Is only fair
and rather quiet at Kansas City AT
Denver business is fair; at st. Paul
good conditions continue, and at Alilwau-
kee aud Cincinnati trade Is rather
quiet Trade IN the Ohio valley Is
coed. Chicago reports an extraordl-
nary decrease in dressed beef receipts
and heavy fall In receipts OF grain.
lard and hides, but large gain In cured
meats.
Woolen dry goods sales are above
last years. with collections easy. Trade
Is generally good at this season. but
better in materials than manufactured
products.
The only speculative market that has
declined during the week Is the cotton
market, but wheat has risen over cent,
oats I cents and corn nearly , cents,
coffee an eighth, oil p cents, butter .
cents and pork products shade lower.
Thus far this week wheat products are
not half what they were last year, flour
exports not one-half and corn exports
not any.
1t is not good sign when the specu-
lative interests are active and buoyant,
while Legitimate trade and productive
industry are hesitating or curtailed.
In the iron industry general consump-
tion has generally declined, apparently
not far from one-iiith.
The wooden industry is in far better
condition, the output OF knitting ana
worsted dress goods, and the medium
and lower grades OF mems clothing be-
ing larger than at any other time for
1--WE years. But the more costly grades
Of cloth are not yet in strong demand.
Cotton manufacture is not favored by
the demand for many grades OF cloth,
but the boot and shoe manufacture Is
doing little better Of late, though en-
barrassed by unsatisfactory prices.
The treasury has put out silver notes
including only 100000 more currency
than 1t has taken in during the past
week. The money markets are gener-
ally well supplied for legitimate bust
ness needs, II ough at some points strin-
gent or more active. The reports as TO
collections are a little less satisfactory
and yet it is the prevailing impression
that business in all parts Of the country
has solid footing and will prosper
when good crops come. The exports OF
productsfrom New York were larger last
week, but for the past month show de-
crease OF about S per cent and the Inn
ports show a marked increase.
The business failures occurring
throughout the country during the past
seven days number 265, as compared
with total OF POO last week. For the
corresponding week Of last year the
! figures were 260.

The MORNING NEWS is forced to discon-
tinue, for the present, the publication OF
the story entitled "a False Position" begun
last Sunday. The manuscript of the story,
mailed in England, has failed to reach the
agents in New York who have the handling
of il.
The MORNING News, therefore, has sub
stituted brilliant story of love and war
by Capt Hawley Smart, soldier novelist,
entitled Beatrice and Benedick "A Romance
of the Crimea." 1t is in the authors happi-
est vein. 1t is full of movement and there
are numerous scenes of highly wrought
sensation. The action takes place in Eng
land and the Crimea, the story opening just
prior to the outbreak of the war with Rus
STA. From start to finish this new novel of
Capt. Smart's will be found brimful of in-
terest, exciting without being unduly sensa-
tional, full of variety and with romantic
termination Capt. Smart is one of the best
and most widely known writers in England.

Defaultine Life Insurance Agents.

A great deal of sensation has been created
in life insurance circles in New York by
the publication that Julio Merzbacker,
manager of the Spanish-Americ business
of the New York Life Insurance Company,
is a defaulter for more than $3.50, 600
The New York Life Insurance Company is
one of the Oldest and richest life insurance
companies in the world, and any publica-
ton relating to its affairs attracts attention.
Since the publication relating to Merz-
hacker other statements have appeared in
the public prints which indicate that other
agents have defaulted. and that the COM
pany is out as much as 100000. One of
these agents. who is alleged to be short in
his accounts, has charge Of the company's
London business.
There are, of course. many rumors afioat
relative to the company's affairs, one Of
them, published in the Herald, being that
the company's losses are nearer So, 000, 900
than 100000. The officers of the company
are disposed to be reticent. though they
promptly deny that the company has suf-
fered any permanent loss whatever.
The company's assets are $115, 900, 900, and
its surplus is between $15.O0O,OO0 and
S16.000,000. A loss of even $3,000.000.
therefore, would not shake confidence in its
solvency in the least.
It seems that banks are not the only finan-
cial Institutions that are afflicted with dis
honest officials. They are found every
where, wherever there is a chance to steal.
Cities maintain at great expense a police
force to guard the property of citizens
against sneakthieves and burglars. 1t looks
as IL the time were near at hand when
regular corps of detectives would have to
be maintained to watch those who are en-
trusted With the management of institu-
tions to which the people entrust their
money.
Within few months quite number of
banks in New York and Philadelphia have
been either partly or wholly wr ecked by
their officers, and there is scarcely day
that defalcation in some part of the coun-
try is not announced.
Life insurance companies, however, as
far as the public knows, have been singu-
larly free from losses through dishonest Of
ficials. There are great safeguards thrown
around them. and that is one of
the reasons, perhaps, that they have
not suffered to very great ex-
tent from thieves who have access to their
treasures. But it seems that these safe
guards are not entirely sufficient.
The thieves are shrewder than the law
makers. They are more diligent in finding
ways to get what does not belong to them
than they are in earning an honest living.
And defalcations will never be checked,
however stringent the criminal laws may
be or however vigorously they may be en-
forced, as long as detected defaulters are ad-
United to the society of honest men.

Britons like to marry American girls,

Journal. because they are beauties endowed
with good taste and are above all things
possessed of a degree of tact that ap-

to satisfy any one. But the acknouled g-
