past week in Europe WAS the visit of
Prince Bismarck to Emperor William at

holiday attire and the ''Iron Chancellor"

reception. The reconciliation with the
great man. who contributed SO effective
~ to give the grandfather of the present
emperor so high a place in history, is a

amount of revenue is sacrificed on lum-

Business Affairs.

Dunu's Review for the past week says
that Secretary Carlsle's issue Of bonds
and the reports of large bids for them
helped to accelerate recovery of indus
tries and trade. The increase OF hands
employed adds to the purchasing power
of the people, and rs dealers stocks are
very low any sign of inereas ed ccnsump-
ton will quickly give mills More orders.
If not interrupted by adverse forces
their conditions would naturally bring
steady revival of business. Industrial
gain is more definite than the week
/ before aud reduction of wages continue,
ranging from To 20 per cent. The
general tone of quotations on manuiact-
ured products is somewhat stronger.
Sales of wool is reported larger than
earlier in the month, but prices at Phila-
/ New York the inquiry is more from
carpet manufacturers than from others.
The shoe and leather trade appears to
gain little, though shipments from
Boston for the week were q per cent
lower than the corresponding week Of
last year.
The produce market was dull. May
wheat fell one day to the lowest figure
on record. Wheat exports are insigniti-
cant notwithstanding the exceedingly
low price, and stocks in sight are large.
New York banks have again increased
their very large stock OF money and
offers are made of loans for full year
at 1 per cent, the lowest on record for
that period.
Failures in the United States were
$50 that week against 255 last year, and
IS in Canada against 10 last year. None
are of great magnitude. The liabilities
of firms failing thus far reported this
year amount to sl3.66S, $50 of which
S6,072, S37 were of manufacturing and
