Trade Depressed by MONEY Uncertainties.

TRADE depressed by money uncertainties.
r. G. Dun & Co S weekly review Of trade
says:
Stocks rally from extreme depression, but
business shows no substantial Improvement
The distribution of products to final con-
sumers is rather less encouraging, though
the weather has been generally more fav
orable and at some points helps retail trade
Wholesale business and speculation show
each week more hesitation with regard to
the crops next fall, the responsibilities of
tariff changes, and money uncertainties.
Some large failures and many Of minor i'm
portance show the effects OF increasing
stringency in money markets, and while
money is comparatively easy at New York
the pressure at other points has increased.
Almost everywhere collections are SLOW
and doubt about the future affects new I'M
dertakings. although the present volume OF
trade based upon past orders Is remarka-
bly, large. The Treasury is in a stronger
position than for some weeks past but ex-
ports OF gold have notably increased The

relating to a kind Of crystals, however,
far less precious than diamonds. The
discovery referred to is that Of a deposit
Of selenium found near the Fremont
river in a moundlike elevation formed
by the washing and wearing away Of
the clay and sand surrounding it.
Selenide crystals are formed from the
rare element selenium, which is related
TO sulphur and was discovered in 1871.
in the refuse Of a sulphuric acid factory
by the celebrated chemist Berzelius.
In its vitreous form selenium is some
times employed for optical purposes.
Many years ago little medallion por-
traits Of Berzelius were occasionally to
lie seen cast in this substance which he
had discovered.
Selenium has been found in small
quantities in native deposits. notably at
Culebras, in Mexico. But hitherto the
selenide crystals obtxinxble have been
small. being measured by inches and
weighed by ounces" Now, however,
they have been obtained in the Utah de-
Sposit weighing - much - 1000 pounds.
Many tons Of these crystals have been
taken from the mound. Some Of them
are ( and even 8 feet In length, with
faces 8 inches broad. One huge crystal
had 10 small ones projecting from it.
A. far rs known, this unique deposit has
