DUN'S REVIEW.
Trade Increases In Spite Of Short
Crops and Low Prices.
The Manufacturers of Cloth on
IL BOOm-ArOn Is Up IL Lit
tle-GOaI Trade Active.

The alarm about cholera has van
ished and trade in every direction
shows all the improvement that was
expected. The South is little dull,
because cotton is low in price and late.
But little improvement has been seen
during the past week. The volume OF
business continues larger than ayear ago
although all the unprecedented crops
then made is much greater than any
previous year. The unavoidable con-
clusion is that the distribution of man
utactured products this year has been
extraordinary. Collections are excep-
tionally good on the whole, and al
though money is in active and increas'
led demand at nearly all points the
supply is ample for all legitimate ne
cessities. Gold exports have ceased,
foreign exchange has declined and the
money market is at present without
disturbing features.
Wheat has recovered 18c from the
extremely low price of week ago,
but the sales here have been 6, 900, 600
bushels.
Speculation in cotton has been large.
sales reaching 100000 bales, and the
price has been advanced 3-16c by tn
covering of short sales. The crop is
late, and the movement thus far is
much behind last years.
At Baltimore business is satisfactory
though quiet with the South, but ex-
ceedingly good in shoes, lumber and
cattle. At Memphis trade is improv-
ing, though of small volume, and a
New Orleans cotton is in better de
mand and sugar strong and active.
Pig iron is frmer, some Alabama
furnaces advancing the price 25 cents
but bar iron is slightly easier, even
, slackening, and, on the whole, the
prospect for finished products is no
i favorable.
e Coal is active in the retail trade, anC
!. shipments for the year show an in
crease of 6 per cent, but it is freely of
. fered by outsiders at Is cents to Al
a cents below the scheduled prices, an(
!, actual sales in August by the Lehigl
a Valley were "a cents below the SEIZED
It ule.
The demand for mems fall woods i,
n surprisingly large, old stocks being rap
= idly cleared off, and it has been big
v season in cloakings, while in dres
q goods the trade is still heavy. Cotton
q goods are full of activity, some qualtie
# having advanced a little. Prints ar,
in pressing demand and print cloth
are quoted at SIC for CAS-. In wool in
creasing activity is seen, sales far ex
ceeding last years, and carpet wool
l. are especially firm and scarce.
Business failures throughout the
! country during the last seven days

TILE son Of Joachim, the violin
player, was reduced to the ranks in
the German army because his father
played at concert in the city where
the young officer was quartered. His
Colonel requested the degradation on
the ground that his fathers concert
playing was lowering the dignity of
the German uniform. Perhaps the
idolatry of militarism could not be
better, and at the same time more
absurdly, illustrated.

A GREAT deal Of the unoccupie6
farming land in the older States is
now relatively far above the prices Of
equal or better land in the newer
States which have, within the past
few years, been made accessible by
railroad building. Agriculturists, in
stead of remaining on this Eastern
high-prieed land, find it to their adj
vantage to go further west on cheape,
but good land, where railway facili

A THUNDERSTORM in New York,
says the New York Tribune, trained
frogs by the thousand at 13sth
street. That they came from the
clouds was sure, because the frogs
were hopping all over the roofs after
the storm had passed. The same
thing occurred once before down in
Egypt. Gotham would do well to be

THE UNITARIANS.
They Discussed Liturgy in Public
Worship.


The Unitariaa Club held its regular
monthly meeting last evening in Tilling-
hast's S assembly rooms. About eighty per-
sons were present. An informal reception
was held from to 7:30 O'Clock, when
supper was served. Vice President j. O..
Ely presided. About $50 the formal exer-
cises began. The subject of the evening" S
discussion was Liturgy in Public Wor-
ship"
The first speaker was the Rev. Howard
n. Brown OF Brookline, Mass. He said (:
Liturgy is broad in its meaning. IL does
not necessarily signify an elaborate ser
vice. My idea Is To have an opening ser
vice Of about 20 minutes, in which the
people may join. / would have this ser
vice in the strongest language which can
be found, yet simple and pure. Then,
either before or after the service, / would
have the minister lead people in prayer As
he does now. We want a service which
will brin~ the people and minister into
closer re,stions.
The Rev James De Normandie OF Rox-
bury, Mass, was next introduced. lie
considered the other phase OF the subject,
saying The very idea of ritual is that
the people take no part in the service
The ritualis6ic idea means that the part or
the people shall be taken by some one
else. The true idea of devotion is that 1t
comes from the heart.
The Rev. G. A. Staples of Lexington,
Mass, was the next speaker. he said
that he liked as much service on the part
OF the congregation as will bring the min
lister and congregs alton closer together
This is all of the liturgy he wanted.
Other speakers were Charles III. Merri-
man, Nathan Truman, the Rev, Alfred
Manchester, James G. Collins, and L. NJ.
Stelby. At the end Of the discussion the
club adjourned until April 1S.
