BUSINESS IMPROVING.
Bradstreet's Reports of an En-
cOuraSiuG Character

Bradstreet's Reports of an En-
couraging Character.
NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say: Special telegrams
from leading ira le centers bring evil
dence not only of much that is encour-
aging regarding the outlook, but that
the tide has actually turned. 1t appears
beyond question that the depression in
industrial and commercial lines has for
some time been at low ebb, and that a
movement in the direction of an ex-
pansion of the volume of business has
appeared. The pendulum which
swung in one direction from May
of last year until 1891 would
soon be seen swinging in the
opposite direction, and Bradstreet's
points as evidence of that tact to the in
crease of "a per cent in the production
of pig iron within three months, to an
excess Of deposits over payments at
some Of the largest savings banks in the
United States and to assumptions of
work at industrial establishments in all
directions (even though with lower
wages and on shorter timel, as con-
/ traSted with the epidemic of shut-doWns
prevalent a month and more ago. In
addition there is direct evidence that
the tide is rising at various points.
Thus, the volume of business in iron
and steel at Pittsburg within week is
larger than in any week in December,
and the general feeling there is the feel
ing will be more pronounced soon.
Merchants at Louisville have begun
to appreciate that the worst is over, and
to regard the future trade hopefully.
There is more inquiry for whisky and
for tobacco, the crop of the latter being
short and prices advancing. There are
signs of activity in dry goods and other
| jobbing lines at Minneapolis, and al
| though orders received are small they
are much more frequent. 1t is true at
st. Paul, also, where jobbers of shoes
report marked gains. From San Fran
cisco comes word that there is an i'm
provement in general business. At
Kansas City jobbers report spring trade
| opening up we'll, with the most active
| demand for dry goods, though many or
| ders for spring delivery have been taken
subject to cancellation. At st. Louis
1.-the best trade is among jobbers of shoes
L and of hardware, unreasonable weather
/ having checked sales of clothing and
rubber goods.
An analysis Of official reports of our
foreign trade for eleven months of 1893
tSshowS net decrease of a fraction less
than per cent compared with 1892, a

clearings last year.

ROCHESTER,, Mimi, Jan. 12.-The se-
cret marriage of Frank Q. Showerman
and Miss Lottie NJ. Wing, residents of
the neighboring town of Chester, has
just come to light here. They were
married on Christmas day in La Crosse,
Wis. whittier they went for that pur!
pose. ShoWerman is the station agenf
at Chester, and boarded with Mr.. and
Mrs. s. A. Wing. whose adopted daugh-
ter the young lady is. The young peo-
pie were thus thrown into contact and
there was soon bond of affection be-
tween them which eliminated in their
Gretna Green match. After the we'd
ding they returned home separately.
and for two weeks their relations were
apparently but those OF bOarder and the
daughter of the lady of the house.
They concluded that the time had come
to unmask themselves, and it was done
through the medium of reception.
for which invitations were Issued among
their friends several days ago. 1t oc-
CURED last night, and was an elegant
affair. Miss Wing was an helreSS III her
own light, and has an income of about
$1,000 year. The bridegroom is an in
duStrious young man, and much re-
spected in the neighborhood. The rea-
son for having the marriage solemnized
in Wisconsin was that the marriage
laws of that state are more liberal than
those of Minnesota. The bride could
not in this state have been married for
a year or more, as she Is under the legal
age. For all that, the match is gener-
ally approved in the vicinity where they
live.
