CONDITION OF TRADE.

Business Dull.

Business Dull.
New York, June 2. -Bradstreet's
says: The decidedly unfavorable
condition of general trade reported
last week continues without mate
rial improvement. Continued delay
of tariff legislation prolongs the
sitting effect on wholesale business.
The great coal strike continues
without sign Of early Improvement,
no concession having been made by
either side. More mills, factories
and furnaces have closed their doors
for want of fuel. The pig iron in
dustry of the central and western
states is practically at standstill
for want of soft coal or coke.
AT Plttsburg and vicinity the
scarcity of coal has greatly stag
Dated business There are no new
labor strikes of importance to record,
but almost all of those previously
reported are in existence. The fa-
vorable features come from Duluth,
Omaha, Augusta and Jacksonville.
Stimulation of trade at the Lake
Superior ports is largely due to the
rapid shipments of bituminous coal,
which had been accumulated, while
needed rains throughout Nebraska

poets and caused more active pur-
chases from Omaha jobbers. Angus
ia, Ca, reports gain of the vol.
ume of business as compared with
the last three weeks, and that cotton
manufacturers have orders ahead
and are running full time, while
needed rains throughout the Florida
vegetable districts have stimulated
demand, so that Jacksonville trade
is brisk. At most western cities
there has been practically no change
from the depression of last week.
Concessions in prices for woolens for
future delivery fail to secure pur-
chases from New England and man
ufacturers.
There were 1873 mercantile fail.

States this week, against 237 last
week, PA in tie week year ago,
1853 two years ago and 233 three

A Question OF q Shot.

On the occasion of a reception recently
held in the rooms of the Montreal Art as
sociation Lord Aberdeen related that
while on visit to Lieutenant Governor
Royal of the Northwest Territory he was
remarking on the many hardships and
lack of necessaries the settlers had to put
up with. Mr.. Royal assured him they did
we'll enough and were not easily daunted
by adverse circumstances, meeting all con-
tingencies as they arose. He instanced
the case where Montreal merchant, be-
ing ON a tour through an outlying dis
trict, put up overnight at small tavern,
and who, the next morning, was ushered
into the small dining room by the land
lord himself, all attention despite his want
of savior faire. After seating the gentle
man at table and iuquiring if he had slept
we'll he asked, And what will you have
for breakfast, sir?"
Our traveller had noted the absence OF
table linen and replied that he would like
q napkin first. Mine host hustled out OF
the room into the kitchen, where he was
heard for some little time talking very
loud, but presently returning said, II am
very sorry we have no napkins for break
fast this morning, sir, but you may de-
pend upon having one tomorrow, even il
have to go out and shoot it myself -
