The Business Situation.

But for speculation this would have been a
comparatively dull week. But sales of liz, =
0O9, 900 bushels of wheat in this market and
LOCO bales of cotton and 2,A2.O00 shares
of stock have supplied certain activity,
though not of the most wholesome kind.
In the interior business has been some
what improved, but many causes combine to
prevent great activity. Prominent among
these Is the reaction from excessive real
estate speculation and building, which have
prevailed for years in some quarters. The
strikes in the building trades tend to cause
dullness where activity had been expected
several states also retards operations; but on
the whole, the volume of business is large
for this season IN the amount of bank ex-
changes, close up to that of the correspond
ing week last year, and eastbound shipments
from Chicago for three weeks have been
0.071 tons, against 81, 018 for the same
weeks of 1880. The symptoms are those of
waiting rather than reaction.
Trade is fair at Kansas City and Omaha
and better at Denver.
The money markets are generally undis-
turbed and comparatively easy. Collections
improve slowly. The treasury continues to
pay out more than it takes in, though but

pected that large gold exports in the summer

cline as to permit q free movement prior to

nous speculative transactions, and has been

themselves hard pushed, rcsortcd Co this
tract as % refuge, and In considerable
numbers banded themselves together
both for their own defense and for pur-
poses of robbery. They formed for
many years the wost class OF outlaws
having a regular organization. with
chiefs, pass words, pickcts, detectives,
and spies i'm all neighboring towns aud
villages. They even granted passes for
travellers, who often secured immunity
from foot-pads and highwaymcn by cul-
tivating an acquaintance with the gypsy
chief and obtaining a written pass or
some token which was at once respected.
IL was also popularity OF gypsy life
that the wanderers adopted the manners
and language OF the people among whom
they settled. This was the case In Scot
land also, and manifested i'm curious
way, for while the Scottish gypsieS spoke
in the broad brogue OF whatever country
they lived in, they also adopted the
Scottish clannishncss, and the bands of
rival chiefs soon became as hostile as
any set OF clans In the Highlands. so that
their fcuds and battles made them UNI
comfortable neighbors Many OF the
Scottish gypsy chiefs were men OF un-
daunted courage. and with their thievish
dispositions were also characterized by
occasional curious fits of generosity
in their way they were notable char
acters, and In the annals of South Scot
land are many gypsy stories-of VIII

black art, their pretended gift OF proph-
ecy. all made them dreaded by the coun-
try people, who were afraid TO complain
OF them 10 the authorities and thus ena-
bled them In many districts To enjoy a
comparative immunity. Nor were they
entirely without their uses, for they car
ricd many, though humble, arts To Sc
cluded parts of the country, and for this
reason, too, were protected or at least
not prosecuted in the remoter rural dis.
tricts. Near the cities and towns. how
ever, they suffered severely. Hundreds
were arrested, the men were hange the
women and children drowned, for no
other crime than that of their birth, as
in not few instances the sole record IL
something like that made in Norwich in
1882: ali men were hanged and one
woman and two children drowned for be-
ing Egyptians.
The seventies passed upon them had
the effect OF driving them north and in
Scotland for a long time, they found
shelter. Even here. however, they at
length fell into disgrace, presumably on
account of scandalous adventure of

generally well received. They were
clever people, generally more skillful at
any craft than the native workmen at
that time who practiced it. and what
they did not know they soon learned
Pleasant spoken, courteous, quick at
acquiring the language of the country
they adopted for their own, they easily
insinuated themselves into good COM
pany. Early in the fifteenth century
they were allowed to dan, before the
English king at Windsor, before the
Scottish king ut Ilolyroo1, and acted
plays at the French court Early i'm
the sixteenth century they became
famous as Gddlers in Italy, as guitar
players in Spain. as harpiSts in Wales
and ireland. They became painters,
wood and irop workers, etchers or en-
graVers on copper, soon learned 20 cOun-
terfcit, four of them being hanged for
an attempt to counterfeit the great seal
of England in 1919; they made bows and
arrows. knives and swords Sometimes
they were even he'd in dist notion, for
more than one royal writ went out al
lowing their leaders 10 administer Justice
in their bands according to the laws of
Egypt
In several countries Of Europe this
confidence was soon abused, and then
came retribution Up to the time OF the
general persecution the gypsies had been
at worst merely petty thieves and
swindlers, but finding themselves the
objects of general deteStation, they
rapidly developed worse traits of char
acterS. They were accused of many
henouS oifenSes. II was charged that
they were cannibals, that they robbed
graves, that ey stole children for the
purpose of eating them, that they muir
dCred men 10 drink their blood. In
Germany hundreds were arrested and
put TO the rack TO make them confess.
They did confess, but when asked where
they had concealed the corpscs they had
stolen they could not tell and were again
tortured. In France they were put to
death by wholesale simply on suspicion

and be ause OF their nationality. A
more serious charge than any brought
up TO that time was made about the be-
ginning of the siXteenth century, a
charge which allied them to witches
and associated them with witch
craft. This was quickly followed
by an accusation that they had
no religion. They may have had a
national religion at the beginning OF
their wandcrings. but seem to have lost
il. for i'm whatever country they were,
they adopted, or pretended to adopt the
religion Of the people NJ understanding
the fact that they rendered an apparent
conformity 90 the re igious rites OF those
by whom they were surrounded, they
mingled with the adopted religion many
secret ceremonies of their own, which
I'm time. being discovered, added 70 the
Nervousness Of the Ofiense.
Thus, classed with Migrants, with
heretics, with witches, a general crusade
was begun against them, and whatever
faults they had were far more than pun
ished by the cruelty with which they
were treated. During the reign o. Hen
nv VIII. they were ordered out Of En-
gland, and We ssels were provided for
their transportation, but few years
later we read OF fines being in

1t is even believed that the abode OF
the gypsies in Eastern Europe long an
tedated this worthy father, and some
writer's on the subject do not Scruple TO
state that among the wanderers and
Migrants expelled at almost regular in
tervals from Rome. Constantinople, and
other large cities of the Roman Empire,
we may recognize the gypsies by the
description of "groups OF men black IA
Tartars, who worked at the forge, were
good dancers, were skilled in music, and
were accompanied by thiovish women
who looked into the palms of crcdulous
persons To foretell their future" The
description is toerably true to nature,
and makes il almost certain that the
gypses came from the East, perhaps by
the way of Egypt, n long time before
they made their appearance in Western
Europe, and also that they always eX-
hibited the same character of feature,
and practced the same employments
which have ever since distinguished
them.

Two or three notable instances, how

number none is more singular than that
of the gypsies, a people who once were
race. and although now scattered bands
of wanderers, nevertheless preserve
many of those characteristics which are
generally considered To indicate nation

was ages ago completely destroyed, and
by some national movement they were

The first appearance of gypsics In
Western Europe was in l4l7, when
band numbering, according to different
accounts, between 4CO and 400, APP
peared in Germany This little host of
invaders soon found their way into every
part of Germany. The first band was
rapidly succeeded by others, and under
the influence of some unknown agency
the gypsies soon came in Swarms, and
found their way across the Alps into
Italy, across the Rhine into France, over
the Pyrenees into Spain, across the
Channel into the British Isles. a
few OF their leaders were richly
dressed, and assumed al the style of
medieval noblemen; but the great part
were poor, ill-cad and worse fed A
singular feature of this, the first inya-
sion, lay in the fact that gypsy band
then seems from all accounts TO have
been precisely the same as the gypsy
band to-day. The men were on horse
