The Giorles Of ponnybrook.

Donnybrook is on the outskirts Of
the city of Dublin, but ponny brook
fair ground is no longer the friendly
lighting ground Of former days.
One of the tents made of wattles,
with patchwork quilts or blankets or
old petticoats spread over them, held
rows of tables made of doors placed
on mounds OF clay. The benches,
too, rested on the same uncertain
foundation and when the young
Irishmen grew unsteady the bench
sent them all down to the floor. Cat
on the green there was Sighting and
sports and at night the fiddles played
jigs for the jolly young people. 1t
appears from the accounts given by
The strangers who visited Donny-
brook almosv a hundred years ago that
there was good reason for the world
wide meaning given to the mere ex
preston "Donnybrook Fair." BIT
( its glories have departed and it i:
many long day since the cheerful
! shillaly was welded around Denny

ment of justice to represent the L nited
States in the Union Pacific receiver
matter at this point, said to-day that
he would file petition in the United
States District court asking for the
appointment of two additional receiv-

sary to secure speedy adjustment of

that no resistance to the appoint

Dundy would act promptly in the mat
ter. j. w. Doane of Chicago and F.
r. Coudert of New York win probably

BETTER DEMAND FOR GOODS.
Dun's Weekly Review shows Great Inn
provement In business


New YORK, Nov. I3.-R. G. Dun,s
weekly review of trade says:
The turn of the tide has come.
There is some increase in actual trans
actions and much more in the tone of
business. Men of all parties feel that
there is ground for greater confidence,
the ruling question being put definite
ly out of the way and the chance of
disturbing action in other respects be-
ing lessened, while the right of the
people to rule their rulers has been
indicated While it is yet too early
to look for great changes there is a
distinct improvement in the demand
for manufactured products since the
action on the silver bill, some in
crease in the output of pig iron and in
sales of wool, and the failures of the
week show lower liabilities. In brief,
the recovery which began when the
silver redeal bill passed continues with
increased strength.
THE first week of November has
passed and thousands of business men
express greater confidence because the
failures in dry goods have been less
numerous and important than was
supposed. Large stocks have been
carried over by extension, but mod
crate revival of trade will enable more
of them to weather the storm. A
greatful improvement is seen in the
market for cotton goods, with slightly
better prices in print cloths and some
other grades The sales of wool for
the week have been 1864, 200 pounds
at the three principal markets, against
i s.215, 900 last year. While the produc-
tions of mems woolens June l to Nov.
was only 1O,173,716 yards, against
| 17,Os5, O19 for the same period last year,
| there is good reason to expect larger
demand hereafter.
| "The failures for the last week have
been 366 in the United States, against
| s10 for the same week last year; and in
Canada, twenty-seven against twenty
six last year. There were four failures
with liabilities between 100000 and
5000, 900 each and sixty-two with liza
bilities between So, 900 and $40, 900 each.
The liabilities of failures for last week
show very encouraging decrease,
amounting to only 49, 467, GOO, against
Stab, 900 for the preceding week, and
it is noticed that, while the number OF
failures does not materially decline as
yet, there are fewer of Importance.
