IAN excited speculation in sugar has con-

R. G. DUN'S REVIEW.

NEW YORK, March 9-Evidences of present
improvement in business multiply, but con-
f1dence IN future Improvement does not seem
to increase. There is more business and a
larger production by industries. for the
season has arrived when greater activity is
necessary If dealers in stocks are to be replen-
ished, and those who cannot make calcula-
lions beyond few months, are the more
anxious to crowd as much trade as they safe
~ can.
In some branches Of distribution, however,
trade indications of diminishing demand
for goods and the evident preference for medi-
UNI and low priced articles, with the known
reduction In wages and family expenditures,
lead many to feel somewhat less confident
that business will recover its former volume
Undertakings reaching beyond short time
are not made with great freedom, and in spite
of larger present demand, prices Of manu-
featured goods tend downward.
Shipments of boots and shoes from the east
are AS per cent smaller than year ago for
the same week. a I'd purchases are still main
ly of medium or los priced goods.
In textile manufactures and dry goods there
are increased activity and repieuishment OF
stocks. as is natural at this season. But the
demand thus far falls much short of expecta-
tions and its character indicates great ec0no-
my In consumption. In wooens also, manu-
facturerS are increasing production mainly in
a tentative way, or on orders which are little
more than sufficient to test the market. In
the past five weeks the decrease has been only
II per cent, which is a marked Improvement,
in part due to the fact that mills having any
orders are buying at once what Wool they ex-
pect to need for months to come.
Bread stuffs and oils have been stronger;
provisions weaker, and cotton hcsiiates
Wheat advanced u cent; western receipts
being only 2, 1851 bushels against 3.,l iGi last
year, and Atlantic exports, 1,102, IL. against
.15, l2 last year. Corn receipts at the West Were
3.sl5,155 bushels against 1881 last year, but
the price rose nearly L cent. Lard and hogs
both declined. nevertheless. Sales of cotton
We're larger at first, with some decline which
Was afterwards recovered. The recovery in
the price of bar silver, which fell to % d but
recovered to 27.3l has affected prices. The
volume of domestic trade shown by clearings
decreases for the week only IA per cent out
side of New York and 81 per cent here COM
pared with last year. In foreign trade the
changes are also for the better, exports having
been large and for four weeks IA per cent
larger than last year. while the decrease in
imports for February was 81 per cent.

The Tenderness Of . Nest Tyrannieal

The Tenderness Of . Nest Tyrannieal
DoGRatist.
The writings of Hannah More had
made her famous before she was TWEEN
ty-flve years Of age. and she attracted
the sttsntion Of Sheridan by her verses
when she was scarcely eighteen. John
Lord, In ''Great Women" describes
her Is stern as disciplinarian. but
not objecting to healthy end natural
amusements.
She was q model woman; beautiful,
yet not vain; independent. yet respect
full to authority; hoepitable, without
extravaganza.
DIR. johnson was her warmest friend.
whom she ever respected for his lofty
moral nature. He called her his child.
Sometimes he was severe on her, when
she differed from him In opinion. or
when caught praising books which he,
as a moralist, abhorred, like the novels
of Fielding and Smollet. for the only
novelist he could tolerate was Richard
son.
Once when she warmly expatiated In
praise Of the Jansenists, the overbear-
ing autocrat exclaimed, in . voice of
thunder:
Madam, let mo hear no more Of
this! Don't quote your popish author
ttfes to me; / want mono Of your
popery!"
But seeing that his friend was over.
whelmed with the shock he gave her,
his countenance instantly changed;
his lip quivered, and his eyes filled
with tears. He gently took her hand.
and with the deepest emotion az
claimed: Child, never mind what I
have saidl Follow true ptety wherever
you find it,"
This anecdote Is key to the whole
character Of johnson, interesting and
uninteresting; for this rough. tyran-
meal dogmatist was also one of tho
tenderest Of men, and had . soul ~ i'm
pressible rs that of woman.
