WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.
R. G. Dun Co. on the Condition Of tn
Business Of the Country.

Business Of the Country.
NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade will
say:
There is a rift in the clouds. Faint
yet definite signs of improvement, all
better because they came not from pos
sibly delusive hopes or monetary for
eign aid, but from the good sense and
wonderful recuperative power of the
people themselves. Business is trying
to go ahead without waiting for Wash
ington. People are creating home
made currency for themselves by using
certified checks in paying hands, set
ting accounts and purchasing grain
and cotton. Little money comes back
as yet from the timid boards,
and the paralysis of exchange
that very fact pushes each section and
city into relying more on itself and less
on the government, and Wall street
sales of wool in seven weeks were
1876, 900 pounds. against 50,S27,9S0
laSU year.
Somewhat fewer cancellations are
met in dress goods. and there is some
buying of fall woolens. Cotton fell o
quarter of cent with somewhat bet
ter reports of a probable yield. I'm
portant relief comes from the abate-
ment of the drain upon saving banks
and of the drain upon other banks for
currency to be used in paying hands.
Commercial failures for the week are
A 5; same week last year 1872.

John Williams, History

Little or nothing can be learned Of
the history of John Williams, the man
drowned in the lake last Wednesday.
No papers were found on his person
nor in his satchel, which only con-
tanned few articles of wearing ap-
parel. 1t is supposed he had trunk
somewhere in the city, but it cannot
be found. 1t is also reported that his
life was insured for $4,000. The tes-
timony as to the cause of his death
as taken before Judge Barbour re-
yealed no new facts.

INDIAN COUNCIL BILLS.

LONDON, Aug. 1S.-A dispatch to
The Times from Calcutta says the alb
sence of demand for Indian council
bills is attributed there to enormous
importations of silver during the pro-
tracted sittings of the Herschcll In
dian currency commission. These i'm
portations during tho year ending
March last amounted to 10 crores
rupees 100000, 900 rupees), against a
normal yearly importation of crores.
A great fall in exchange in the next
few weeks is inevitable. The read
justment that must follow to bring the
rate to Is I'D must be severe.

stttute for free coinage at ratio of 16
| to /. This is contrary to the popular
impression. But the weak points in
the scale of ratios above 16 to l have
developed gradually. Bland, Bryan
and other veterans of free silver coin
age are telling their followers to tell
that an increase of ratio would
be no concession to single
gold standard, for it would
be an admission that the future use Of
silver money must depend on its in
trinsic value instead of the govern
ment stamp and would be subject to
change Just as the price of bullion
fluctuated. Silver men admit that an
unconditional repeal vote will pass

cause of the peculiar variety of free
coinage views, but hopes that the sem
ate will return the bill to the house
with certain concessions to silver coin
age.
SUPPRESS THE GAS WORKS.
1t begins to appear that both sides
in the house regret that so long a
period of time as two weeks was SET
apart for the debate on the silver bill.
Now and then a brilliant speech by
one of the leaders serves to lift the dis
cussion above the dead level of medi-
ocrity, but relapses follow. In turn
about everything has been said that
can be said about the question.
NEW CURRENCY SCHEME.
OF the many financial schemes pro
posed to speedily relieve the stringency
in money the one regarded by the
treasury officials as the most practical
BILE is to authorize the secretary of the
treasury to issue currency against
seignorage and profit upon the coinage
of silver bullion in the treasury.

Stricken Insane.

Baltimore, Oct. 2O.-A strange
event, which by many is believed
to possess supernatural features, took
place in this city on Monday at the
Southwestern Police Station. Mrs.
Adeline Wilder had been arrested
for assaulting young woman, whom
she was accused of striking with a
teapot, The evidence was all against
her, even her husbands testimony
corrOborating the statement Of the
prosecuting witness.
Mrs. Wilder positively and en-
phatically denied that she was guilty.
She ended her statement by calling
on God to smite her if she had not
sworn to the truth. The words had
scarcely left her mouth when she
reeled and fell to the floor uncon-
scious.
She was removed from the court
room and the doctors did all they
could to restore her to consciousness.
They were unsuccessful until twelve
hours had elapsed. Then the woman
became conscious, but it was found
that the was raving maniac and she
has remained so ever since.
Mr.. Wilder says that he never
knew his wife to be in such a condi-
ton before, and that she had never
even had fainting spell.

suggestions for the production Of in

this suggesting business is right in
my line; it is highly probable that !
can tnrn loose more worthy suggest
ions IN gwen space of time than
any man on the Coast today.
I'm a great lover of the realistic,
L am, and when it comes to dealing
In realisms. I'm second to none. 1t
may suit some people to see dummys
used IN portraying life as it existed
III the days of 40. but give me the
true business.
What's the matter with having a
genuine lynching bee? | have a man
located who would allow himself to
be iynched provided his widow was
made the recipient of sum to be
hereafter agreed upon, and I unhesi-
tatingly say tina. he ought to be
lynched, tee.
But even if he should GO back Oh
US, the San Francisco jails afford
large feld to pick from, and | think
we would have little trouble in Sc
curing a good subject; several if nee
essary. As far as that Is concerned,
II the authorities objected, take
man out of Jail anyway; however,
there Is no use in spilling any un-
necessary blood, and if the officers
cobld be 'overpowered' you know,
it would make things much easier all |
round. Then we could yank HIM
DOWN to the Mining Camp exhibit, |
brow rope around his neck with
he end up over the limb of a tree, |
gve HIM five minutes to say his
prayers, then kick the barrel from I'M
Ter him and shoot him full of holes.
IF course there are several styles Of
,oing the thing mp, such as putting
he victim on horse then driving
he horse from under him, dropping
i'm off a bridge, pulling him up
Yer telegraph pole, and several
theirs too numerous to mention, but
think the old Nevada standby, l. e.,
rope and tree, is good enough
Or the most fastidious. As | re
MARKED in the foregoing, I always
