TRADE REVIEW.
Dun Finds the Financial Situation Some

Dun Finds the Financial Situation Some
 what Brighter-Decline in Failures.
 NEW YORK, July 2l.--R. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
 The effects of the two great strikes have not yet entirely worn of, and meanwhile disagree ment between the two houses of congress has made tarin uncertainties more distinct and impressive It follows that the customary tests of the condition of business are less instructive than usual The finan- cial situation is somewhat less feeble, because the exports of goods have been resumed and are $500 900 for the week, but treasury receipts have been S20i6,S9l for customs against S2,95 ,57i last year, and S,47i,- 5Sinternal revenue, against B 97J 5lS last year. The extraordinary payments to anticipate the increase of taxation on whisky are rapidly lock- ing up a large amount of cash, and taking from the government part Of the expected increase of revenue, which in the current loss in cus- toms receipts is largely due to the postpone ment of imports, in expectation of lower duties hereafter. Thus the treasury has been gaining in the balance at the expense of some loss in revenue hereafter.
 Wheat has been skating on thin ice. with chance of breaking through and making the lowest record ever known, and has declined 3 cents for the week. With railroads generally blocked in the wheat belt it is satisfying in dication that the western receipts are about two-thirdS Of last years, 2,2H,oA buShelS against 3028.379 year ago, while the exports from Atlantic ports arc insignificant only 672,- 401 bushels, against 2,s53, ,627 last year. The enormous visible supply has less actual weight in the market than the prevalent conviction that government estimates of yield are widely erroneous.
 Corn has advanced shade with no satis- factory reason, for the prospect is excellent for a large yield. A great speculation in oats hap fn f1,,f flatn uyitn tha rv losses to the wise men who knew all about it. Cotton has declined fraction and all indica- tions still point to material increase of yield.
 The most hopeful sign noted this week is that failures continue comparatively few and not very important. The aggregate of liabilities for the twelve days ended July 12 was $2 630, ,3O5 of which Sl ,40]s2l was Of manufactu turing, s1, 468, ,20i of trading concerns, which is decidedly below the average for the past half year. The failures this week have been 236 in the United States against 497 last year and A in Canada against 9 last year.

Rose Paste.

A delicate flavor of rose leaves is a great addition to certain cakes and confections, and rose paste made at home is much purer than many of the extracts sold for the purpose. It is made by chopping the leaves of fra. grant roses into smooth mass with white sugar, and placing them in an oven long enough to heat thoroughly, but not entirely melt the sugar. Use one cupful of the leaves to three of sugar. Keep in air-tight cans, and al low to stand six months before open ing. This must be used carefully, only small quantity being necessary to flavor large cake.-Harper's Bazar.

A GREAT COUNTRY.
How an American Comedians British
 Friend Was Enlightened.

Friend Was Enlightened.
 Comedian William F. Hoey lately en- countered distinctively ingenious Britisher. The comedian formed his acquaintance during the Lucania's last incoming voyage, and the two break lasted together.
 ''I guess I'll run out to see Harry after breakfast" said the guest.
 Harry" queried the comedian, softly.
 "Yes, my brother" explained the Englishman. i've two here. Harry lives in San Francisco and Charlie in Chicago"
 But, you'll be back for dinner?" fa- cetiously quizzed Hoey.
 The Britisher took him seriously. "Sure, for dinner, if not for lunch" he answered. And, accompanied by the actor, now thoroughly alive to the hu- nor of the incident. he found himself few moments later in the line of ticket buyers in the Grand Central sta tion.
 An excursion ticket to San Francis co, stopping at Chicago station on re-  turn" he ordered.
 The ticket agent put about quarter of mile of pasteboard under his stamp, pounded it for minute or more, thrust it before the explorer and expectantly awaited payment.
 "When does the train go?" asked the Englishman.
 Tn ten minutes" was the answer.
 How much is it?''
 ''One hundred and thirty-eight dol lars and fifty cents"
 "What?" the Englishman gasped. ''How far is it?''
 Three thousand miles,"
 "Old Hoss" was right behind to catch the falling form, and as he guided the half-fainting Englishman back to the cab, where he snuggled helplessly in a corner, the single exclamation escaped What countryw-N. Y. Times.
