Business Is Better.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review Of
trada oouc.

r. G. Dun & Co.. s weekly review OF
trade says:
The tone of commercial reports from
various parts OF the country indicates that
business has TO some extent improved.
Collections throughout the country are
better, and, excepting the bursting OF
speculative corner at Chicago, there Is no
especial excitement OF any kind In busi-
ness. The 6ctitious price established for
corn at Chicago lasted just long enough TO
bring into that market enough of the
actual grain 60 bury the specuiators,-ssd
the corner broke with great losses.
not merely to the operators but also TO the
brokers Wheat is declined half cent,
the Western receipts being unusually large,
though the exports from the Eastern ports
have also been quite large. Oats are a
shade lower. pork products unchanged, and
oil Is little lower. The stock OF cotton In
the country continues far beyond the rec
ord OF previous years, and there Is every
reason 20 believe that even a great reduce
tion in the yield will surely reduce the ag-
gregate supply for the year below the
quantity usually required for consumption.

And catch the. whispered words that snd

Beneath its dainty covers,

The waltzers take their places,
Within her happy thoughts she rees
Distinct as some old etching.
A winding lane of laurel tree
Thro' far OF woodland stretching.
She listens 10 her praises set
In silver chorded speech,
But dreams the while of one she met
Upon those vine-ciad reaches,
For, all the sweetest tributes beard
The most impassioDed suing,
Gan never drown the faintest word
Ofthis remembered wooing.
When golden streams of music fell
Athwart the rhythmic reTel,
She only hears the ost-bird's call
Far down the grassy level
Ofdistant pastures, with the glow
OF stsr-eyed daisies lighted,
Wherein, few short months ago
Her simple troth was plighted.
AS 30 her fancies dwell aloof,
In blithest freedom faring,
To where, meath some imagined ROOD,
In love and labor sharing,
They too, shall live forevermore,
Far from the gay, mad riot;
And count the blissful moments DER
In calm, delicious quiet.
