Improvement Slow but Sure.
From the Financial Chronicle dndJ.

Slow but evident progress appears TO be
making towards the revival of our industries
Every indication continues as favorat le as
always the quiet season. Work too in many
ana prominent departments cannot start up
again before spring opens. Notable instances
are the building trade which received such a
serious setback during the summer and fall.
ana railroad expenditures. which were at the
same time contracted within the smallest
possible compass. These departments OF our
actlVlues relate to operations which cover
vast held OF enterprise, touching very many
trades, and vet but little new movement in
them can be anticipated for several months
In lace OF these facts there have been this
week undoubted signs of an increased move
ment OF iron. especially in the west, with a
better tone in the markets, though the tran
sactlons are not in large enough volume to
AFFECT prices. Ihe demand for general merch-
andise, too, is also widening.

that the report that Mello has proclaimed
Prince Pierre d'Alcantara emperor of
Brazil is absurd, and is the work of the

says that Brazil is thoroughly republican,

The trolley test on the Erie canal
which took place on Saturday, has been
pronounced a success by George Westing-
house, Nicola TESLA and Gov. Flower. Of
New York. The boat with which the
test was made was rugged with twelve
foot trolley rods, little longer than
those used on street cars, and
was propelled at rate of from four to
seven miles an hour. The governor says
the success of the test means the adop-

A neat piece of detective work was done
by a tiash-lght camera at Grand Rapids,
Mich, few nights ago. A hardware
firm that had frequently lost money from
a cash drawer focused tash-light cam

connections so that if the drawer should
be opened the camera would be operated
The morning following the cash drawer
was empty and the camera held a good
negative of three young men Of the town.
When confronted with the picture they
confessed the robbery, and said they had
noticed the fash, but as no other demon

IT is conceded on all sides that North
Dakota has one OF the finest displays at
the Worlds Fair, and since the fair
opened several states, seeing their defci.
ency, have added to their collections and
improved their displays. Still they are
behind North Dakota. But we should
not rest on our laurels. We ought to
paralyze the whole outfit, and can do so
if the farmers of the state will assist
during the next ten days. Let them
send in to central points good samples
OF this years crop, to be forwarded to
Manager Dickey at Chicago. From
Missouri slope points especially should
samples be sent because they are un-
doubtedly the finest in the state.
Farmers in the vicinity of Bismarck are
requested to forward samples of grains,
grasses, vegetables aud other products
to Edward Sloan, care of the TRIBUNE,
who will pack and seud them to Chicago.
Samples of grain should be pulled, not
cut, SO that the full length of the straw
can be shown. 1t is hoped the farmers
will not fail to bring in these samples
and thereby add to the benefit to be de-
rived from the fair.

A WOMAN in New Jersey recently took
$4,000 out Of Il bank-got scared and
thought it would be safer somewhere
else-and buried it in the back yard.
Some II saw her digging the hole, and
learning that she had drawn her money
from the bank, had no trouble in loca-
ting the cash. Now the woman is out
the savings of years Of toll and the bank
is rs sound as a dollar-gold dollar.
This and similar instances where money
has been drawn from banks and lost
proves the righteousness of the present
scare. The safest place for money is in
the banks, aud even in case Of failure of
national banks it is a rare instance
where depositors lose a dollar. OF all
the lis or 120 banks that have failed
during the last ninety days probably in
no more than three Of them will the de-
positors lose anything.

millions in value. This again has created
a large amount Of bills on Europe and
contributed to the importation of gold.
For the moment this movement has
somewhat abated, partly in consequence
of some recovery in the prices of securi-
ties and partly owing to the Bank Of
England having on Thursday advanced
it's rate OF discount from 2ls to 3 per
cent; but as all the symptoms show a
decided foreign gain of confidence in our
investments, and as that gain will be in
creased by the suspension of silver pur-
chases-which may nov be regarded as
all but assured-the probabilities favor
a revival of these shipments at an early

JUST now-says the Chicago Tribune
the Kansas and Nebraska populists are
yelling unison with the silver grubs for
free coinage of 371-grain silver dollars.
Their pretended panacea for hard times
is debased money-worth 81 cents on
the dollar. They are like the milkman
who pours half a gallon of water into
half q gallon of milk and says he does
it to make milk more plentiful and help
poor families. Are there any poor men
so weak minded as not to perceive
the milk means sophistical knavery?
Are any of them SO silly as to believe
that 80 per cent. of water adds to the
value OF the milk for faulty use? If so,
all such persons cannot be blamed for
not perceiving the silver grubs' rank
fraud of foisting OF them 5O-cent dol
lars for their labor or in payment of
their deposits in building and loan as
sociations or savings banks. Nature
endowed them with such feeble minds
that they are incapable of perceiving a
fraud, however self evident it may be to
more intelligent persons.

NORTH DAKOTA is in better shape to
stand the squeeze in money matters than
almost any other state in the union. We
are just about to begin another harvest,
and during the next sixty days we will
turn off thousands Of beef cattle. Wheat
and cattle bring cash-not promises to
pay, but cash. The prices may be low,
but at some price the product of North
Dakota a be traded for gold. The
North Dakota banks are in a sound con-
dition generally, and the only one that
has closed it's doors-Lloyd's of James,
town-will resume again in a few days.

ing in this state that is noticeable else.
where, and depositors know by leaving
their deposits in the banks there is no
danger. Currency is scarce because the
banks cannot realize on their securities.
But that the banks are sound in every
respect is shown by the reports of the
state examiner and the national authori-
ties.

HENRY CLEws & Co., New York bank
ers, in their weekly review of finances
and trade for week ending Saturday, 5th
inst., say: "At last Wall street begins to
see light. During the week new factors
have entered into the situation of q
character calculated to afford q large
and permanent relief to suffering inter-
ests. The misfortunes that have befallen
the Chicago spectators have proved to
be a benefit to the whole country. Their
withholding of grain and other kinds of
produce from the usual course of export
for several months was largely the cause
of the heavy drains of gold that intro
duced the existing troubles. The strin-
gency which they 80 largely helped to
create has at last compelled them to re-
alize at ruinous losses, and their pro-
ducts are going direct to Europe and
forcing back the gold they had driven
out OF the country. Already some $12,-
100000 in gold is On its way hither and
still larger amounts are expected to fol-
low. This is n of the reliefs that has
appeared within the week. Another
helpful condition has arisen out Of the
heavy break in securities last week. The
chance is afforded Of buying our best
securities at 20 to 80 per cent. below
their average price has brought out a
steady stream of buying orders from
London and other European c~enters,
and the amount exported, though not

In all fairness and seriousness why
doesn't the new city administration get
down to business and quit child's play?
The question of bonds of city treasurer
and other important measures must be
met and disposed of sometime-why not
at once? The wrangle has been going
on so long in Bismarck that no act of
either Of the factions will be considered
in any other light than political.
Neither side in the controversy receives
credit for an honest motive. There are
just a few people in this city, however,
who are becoming heartily tired of these
performances, and who desire that i'm
portant questions be squarely met, not
lodged, and disposed of with some re-
gard for the interests of the whole
people. The members of the city coun-
Gil ought to meet with the mayor as the
law and necessities of the city require,
and transact, in a dignifed way, the
city's business. Let US have an end Of
it someway, if it is nothing more than a
knock down and drag out. It would be
a relief to record the fact that the coun-
Gil met and did something. II the
mayor is not sustained set down on him.
If he is right uphold HIM. Transact the
business in some way or resign and let
us try another outfit.

HARVESTING is now general on the
Missouri slope, but it is yet impossible
to estimate the yield with any accuracy.
While the grain seems to be ripe-that
is the straw is yellow-the kernals are
in many instances soft. Much of the
grain is in the milk yet and it is feared
that it will shrivel somewhat. How
ever the straw is generally of good
length and where 1t is not too ripe the
berry will fully develop in the shock.

SOME time ago it was rumored that a
fight against compliance with the new
law designating state repositories would
be made and its constitutionality tested
in the courts before the state moneys
would be distributed among the various
state banks, under bids as provided in
the new law. 1t is not likely, however,
that any question will be raised. Public
opinion is too strongly in favor Of a
policy that will add; to the states ex-
chequor several thousand dollars annu-
ally. Under the new law no bank can
receive a sum greater than the assessed
valuation of the institution bidding for
the money.
