On the Road OF business Inn
provement
New YORK, May 49, r. q. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow
will say: The obstacles to Improvement
do not lessen. The strikes OF coal min
ers and coke workers have hot ceased,
but have caused the stoppage OF various
works this week and embarrassment TO
some railroads. The conference at
Cleveland exhibited much angry feel
ing and wider differences than had been
ment more distant. Proceedings in the
senate do not indicate That the latest
form Of tariff revision has made speedy
final action more probable. Yet the
recuperative force OF the country is so
great that observers are constantly
amazed at the volume of business being
transacted, the tonnage being trans
ported, the number of works resuming
operations and the general sOundness of
trade, Notwithstanding Influences which
in any other land would produce dire
disaster. Wheat has sold at 81 cents for
May and 5755s for July. though Western
receipts have been only 1.2l5. 543 bushels
for the week against 6.3l3.046 last year.
Exports were but 79l, 727 against 1880
104 bushels last year. and the fact that
gold goes instead of wheat at 81 cents,
or cotton at 7.19 cents. has more W, light
than the rapidly Frightening prospects
of yield next fall. The soundness of
tine commercial world is shown in the
diminished Importance of failures. the
liabilities reported for the second week
of May amounting to only Sl,937,53S. OF
which Sl,490,932 were of trading and
S452, 6J6 of manufacturing concerns.
The failures this week have been 220 in
the United States against PAT last year,
and "a in Canada against IA last year.

however, has developed increased activ-

View OF the heavy contributions which

A BULL AND BEAR FIGHT.

from the story of an eyewitness of the af-
fair, by Professor l. q. Buggs.
The PRONUNCIATION OF bull and bear
fight in that sanctimonious suburb OF
Sacramento City, California, which is
called Washington, would in the present
decade be railroaded from the society OF
men to languish in the gloom of some
health and soul-destroying dungeon.
In the early fifties, however, the an
nouncement of grand bull and bear
fight there drew an immense crowd, and
poured bucketful of ducats into the
Golfers of the enterprising fellows who
brought the spectacle to a focus.
This fight was held in an open amphi-
theater, consisting of a nigh board pen
surrounded by circular gallery of seats.
The admission was a dollar, if remem-
Der right, and the affair came off with
great eclat, your historian occupying a
front seat.
The bull and the bear, which were both
ferocious, and weighed about 900 pounds
each, were held within fighting distance
of each other by fifteen or twentyfoot
chain connecting their fore legs.
At first the bear had the fight all its
own way; for whenever the bull, with
lowered horns. made a plunge at it, the
bear would simply rise on it's launches,
dexterously pass it's paws over the bulls
horns, and, firmly grasping his neck,
hold him there, as if in a wise,
while it bit and chewed his neck until he
wriggled free.
Time and again did the bull. with
brutal stupidity and temerity, repeat his
