HURT BY STRIKES.


New YORK, April %. r. q. Dun s.
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
When accounts OF great strikes and labor
disturbances crowd all newspapers 1t Is idle
to look for much Improvement In business
That every week Of idleness for so many men
must appreciably lessen the aggregate power
to purchase products Of labor is evident But
In spite of all some Improvement sttll appears
Continual reports Of changes In tho tariff bin
add to difficulties of producers and dealers
With continued business depression and new
crops drawing near even the unlimited sup
plies Of idle money do not kindle speculative
hopes.
'sThe increase in liabilities Of firms failing
still continues, and the aggregate reported for
the third week in April was only e 792 46e, and
for three weeks OF April 60 988 588, Of which
s2,l10,194 were manufacturing aud easal,.

THE first ambition of every China
man is to have a splendid coffin. A
poor man will starve himself for years

great ceremony on it's arrival at the

honor No one is ever buried until
there is ready money enough in the
