DUNaS TALK.
Condition and General Outlook of The
Prospects of the Country.

r. q. Dun Il Co.'s weekly review
says:
The turn Ct the tide has come.
Since The election there has been a dis
tinct Improvement in business, and
particularly in manufacturing. Tiers
is some increase in actual TRANSACTIONS,
aud much more in the tone of bllsi
ness. Men of All parties feei that
there is ground for greater confidence,
the silver question being put definitely
out of the way, and the chance OF dis
turbing action in other respects being
lessened. While the right of the
people to rule their leaders has been
vindicated.
While it is yet too early to look fol
great changes, there is already dis
tinaf Improvement ia the demand for
manufactured products. Since the
action on the silver bin, some increase
in the output of pig-iron and in sales
of wool in the building trades, in see,
week latest reported show lower lia-
utilities.
" In brief, the recovery which begun
when the silver repeal bill passed,
continues with increased strength
The output of pig iron, though not
yet half as large as that of Il year ago,
is larger than it was at the beginning
of October. The monthly statemext
shows S0,079 tons weekly, against
1895 for October /, and III ,0S2 for
November l, 1892, aud there is also u
slight decrease in the stocks of unsold
iron on hand. The sudden fall in the
the price of steel rails, Which has been
maintained at 500 for u long lime, but
is now 1922 at the mills, has brought
which might have been anticipated,
and in turn the demand for ore, coke
and pig iron improves.
There is also better demand for
some manufactured products at the
West, though no improvement as yet
appears in prices, and with few
large contracts taken at the East,
prices are nevertheless at the lowest
point. A gradual Improvement is
seen in the market for cotton goods,
with slightly better prices in print
cloths and same other grades.
The volume of domestic trade,
though smaller than year ago, shows
considerable less decrease than APP
peared in September or October, the
exchanges at clearing houses outside
New York being only TIA per cent
smaller than for the corresponding
week last year. RAILROAD earnings
also exhibit some relative improve
ment, as the decrease for the latest
week reported is only ga per cent, al
though an analysis of the reason
shows that the decrease in the freight
movement, separately considered, was
decidedly larger.
Money is abundant and cheap, for
although the commercial demand has
quite imDerceptibly expanded, the
supply accumulated at the chief finan-
cial centers is extraordinarily large,
The failures for the past week have
been 361 in the United States against
210 for the same week last year and,
III Canada, 81, against &c last year.

The clover has played an interesting
part in many philosophical discussions.
In the old world it is asserted it fails
to produce seed unless the humblebee
brings it pollen from another flower.
In Pennsylvania the humblebee does
not take this trouble, but Sits the
tube and steals the honeyed sweets
without making any return; but the
New England bee is better behaved
and enters the flower from the mouth,
as well ordered bee, according 10
Darwin, should do.

3 The Government of Saxony has in
stituted a unique method of enforcing
the payment of taxes. The names of
persons who did not pay their taxes
last year are printed and hung up in
all the restaurants and saloons. The
proprietors dare not serve those men
toned on the list with food or drink,
under penalty of losing their license.

The first steam engines didn't have
automatic valves. Little boys were
hired to open and shut the valves at
the right time. But fishing was more
fun, and one boy rugged up an auto
matte valve of his own with piece OF
string. His invention-it was really
that--has saved countless millions of
dollars.
