DUN'S REVIEW.

NEW YORK, May 2G-k. G.. Dun & Co. 8
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Great floods at the west-unprecedent-
ed at some points-and prolonged rains
extending over the whole Mississippi val
leo, seriously interrupt trade Yet there
is nothing to warrant apprehensions that
the crops will be deficient or that trade
will fall below expectations for the year
In all quarters a confident spirit prevails
and even in the south business seems to be
relatively less embarrassed than Of late.
Money is everywhere in large supply and
light demand.
'Breadstuffs have advanced the storms
giving SPECTATORS their chance for rise.
Wheat receipts have been checked, but
exports continue heavy, and the price has
advanced IL cents for May. Corn receipts
are reduced, but the price has advanced 4
cent, while oats have risen l 4 cents with
out visible effect Pork is half dollar
higher, but lard and hogs sre shade lower.
Coffee advanced q cent. The injury 10
cotton in the southern valleys has less to
do with the advance of a sixteenth in
prices than the covering Of speculative
sales; for. with dealings of 475,000 bales,
fluctuations have been small.
The great industries are fully as active
as usual at this season. Cotton perhaps
fares best. New wool begins to come for
ward, and is promptly taken, with slight
advances. The iron business Is distinctly
more active, with larger transactions in
all grades, though prices do not improve
at all. The demand for boots and shoes
has increased since the tanners resolved
to lessen their output. Leather is stronger,
while hides are dull.
''The business failures for the past week
were 192, compared with 1G5 for the pre-
vious week. For the corresponding week
OF last year the figures were 254.
NEW YORK, May 20.-The clearings for
the past week of the principal cities of
the United States, as reported to Brad
streets, were 81, 23l $50, 737, an increase of

NOTABLE FIRST EVENTS.

Handkerchiefs were first manufactured
at Paisley in 1743
Linen was first made in England in 1853
and only worn by the luxurious.
The first idea of electricity was given by
the friction of two globes Of quicksilver in
the year 1867.
The first record of a judges salary gives
e134 lbs. I'D. as the stipend of Thomas
Littleton, judge of the kings bench, 1906.
The first striking clock was imported
into Europe by the Persians about the
year A. D. 500. 1t was brought as pres
ent to Charlemagne from Abdella. king of
Persia, by two monks of Jerusalem.
The first record we have of coal is about
800 years before the Christian era. Coal
was used as fuel in England as early as
s52, and in 1884 the first charter to dig for
it was granted by Henry III to the inhab-
itants OF Newcastle-on-Tyne.
Spectacles were first used in the latter
part of the Thirteenth century. There is
no certainty as to who was the inventor of
them, but the distinction is generally
claimed for Alessandro di Spina, who is
said to have made some about 1855
Pens were first used early in the Seventh
century. They were of course quilts, and
steel pens did not come into use until 1920,
when the first gross of them was sold
wholesale for Ct As. The quality Of these
pens was greatly inferior to that of those
for which we now pay fifteen cents a gross.
The first glass window in England was
one put up in an abbey about the year ESQ
Glass windows, however, did not become
general for many hundred years, and as
late as 1879 The glass easements at AlnwicI.
castle, the Duke of Northumberland
seat, were regularly taken down when the
family was away from home.

GENERAL GRANT.
A Letter From the Old Commander to Ros
coe OOnkling.

COLUMBUS, o., May 20-The Dispatch
today makes public as special matter a
copy of letter written by L. ;. Grant, III
reply to one from Roscoe Conkling. re-
garding the latter's efforts to have General
Grant nominated for third term.
General Grant, in the letter, which is
dated May 2, 1880, says that he does not
believe that the best interests of the coun-
try ever demanded a third term or ever
will, and, in concluding, says:

THE METHODIST CONFERENCE.

OMAHA, MAY 20 AT today's session of
the Methodist Episcopal conference Amos
Skinner treasurer OF the funds to paw the
travelling expenses of the delegates re-
ported that funds had not been paid in
from the several annual conference treas
uries in a sufficient amount TO pay all the
travelling expenses of the delegates
DR.. Maxfield moved that the conference
appropriate 81 900 from the funds of the
book concern TO meet the deficiency, and
that the annual conference be assessed in
proportion to the deficiency of each.
DIR. Lanahan said that that would be
about AS senseless as assessing the sun,
moon and stars. He moved that the
amount be borrowed from the book con-
Germ and charged to profit and loss on the
books of the concern.
After much wrangling the conference
decided TO draw on the book concern for
the 81, ,000
The second ballot for secretary OF the
board of education WAS then taken. 1t
showed the election of Dr. c. H. Payne.
The committee on lay delegation pre-
sented a report, which recommends equal
lay representation in the conference of
1926
A red-hot resolution, introduced by Dr.
Hammond of California, was adopted,
declaring that the iniquitous opium habit
was making fearful headway and that
vigorous steps should be taken TO stamp it
out.
DR.. Spey of Detroit succeeded in having
n resolution adopted requiring missionary
bishops 10 report all moneys received from
private sources for the help of missionary
work in foreign lands. Bishop Taylor,
it was said, as an illustration, mad been
getting about $50. 600 yearly that he bad
not been obliged TO report TO the mission
AIRY societies.
The conference decided TO elect two sec
retaries for the church. Several were
placed in nomination and ballot taken.
but, without waiting for the result, the
conference adjourned
The report OF the committee on temper
ance on the sale of intoxicating liquors
has been prepared and will be presented to
the conference in day or two. 1t reafirms
the well known attitude of the church
upon the saloon question, aud declares the
church TO be in harmony with every or
Ganization that seeks TO promote total alb
stinence and overthrow the liquor traffic
1t strenuously opposes the licensing of the
sale OF lntoxicants. The report further
declares that 40 political party has right
10 expect, nor should it receive the sup
port OF Christian men so long as il stands
committed to license policy.
