PROSPECTS ARE MORE FAVORABLE


And Business Has Some Features Indi.
cative of Improvement.
NEW YORK, June 30.-Bradstreets SAYS:
While there is no actual Improvement in
business, throughout the country there
are more favorable prospects and better
feeling among merchants, with an in
creased number of instances where trade
has been stimulated. The end of the great
bituminous coal strike is promptly fol-
lowed by a.sympathetic strike of railway
employees, which threatens disastrous ef-
feet on business by reason of interference
with distribution and travel.
Other unfavorable features include a
conference of Rhode Island cotton mill
owners as to the advisability of shutting
down owing to accumulation OF stocks:
heavy :arrivals of wool at eastern mar
kets, where stocks are already large; de-
lay in settling the coke strike, which pre-
vents many industrial establishments
from starting up; an extremely restricted
volume OF business among wholesale deal
ers in clothing at Baltimore; DELAYED or

Sales by auction, SO far from being

as far back as the time Of the Romans.
1t is supposed by some that they chiefly
used the plan to dispose of the spoils

to take place under the spear, it is fair
to conclude that they stuck long spear
in the ground to mark the place where
the sale would be held. 1t was long
the custom in England to mark the
time during which bids might be offer
ed by burning an inch of candle, the
last offer before the light went out be-
ing Of course the one that took the arti-
Gle ON sale. This custom led many to
make no bid until the candle was near
