nightmare the dreamer Is only labor
ing under the influence of indiges-
ton, but in the more severe the cause
is ascribed to cerebral disorder. A
gentleman in Edinburgh, long since
deceased, was afflicted for years with
nightmare which almost rendered
existence unsupportable. On falling
asleep he dreamed that he was chased
by bull, and frequently, in terror of
being tossed by the horns of the in.
furiated animal, he leaped from the
bed to the opposite side of the room,
on one occasion doing himselfa serious
injury.
At the death Of this unhappy gentle
man his head was opened and portion
of his brain found to be affected by a
deep-seated ulcer. In many cases of
this kind, we are told by competent
authority, the spectral illusions of the
dreamer are usually most vivid, and,
on awakening, it requires strong eff
fort of reason to be convinced that the
appearances were nothing more than
unsubstantial creation or phantoms of
a disordered brain. Many instances of
. like nature might he quoted to show
that where the brain is subject to dis
ease or the digestive organs deranged
strange Authorizations are liable to
make the life of the victim one OF tor
ment, and have often thought, when
considering the matter, that insanity
is kind of merciful release-when it
is not of violent nature-from the
awful consciousness of such misery

1.-The exports from New York have
| been larger than before during the past
year or two," he said, and this has
been due principally to the lower prices
that have lately prevailed, especially
as regards drygoods. The great trouble
with the export trade of the United
States in the past has been the great
fluctuations IN prices, due TO the enor-
nous home demand and the fact that
whenever there was an especially heavy
demand the heavy duties kept out i'm
ported goods. Thus, an exporter who
could furnish goods at one price this
month was almost sure to find it impos-
sible TO furnish them at the same price
next month. and this caused trouble.
II, in the fusure, prices shall remain at
more regular level, there is no doubt
that large quantity of American goods
will be exported During the whole OF
the depression the export of paper of
all sorts has been large and growing
because Of the low prices which have
been possible on account of cheapness,
in this country. Of the materials from
which paper is made, The eXporta-
ton Of paper has not been confined to
any one or a few grades: print paper,
wrapping paper, strawboards and the
cheaper grades of writing paper have
been sent abroad in really great guam
titles, the countries of Europe, Of
course. being much heavier customers
than those of South Amerce. In the
finer grades of letter paper. however,
American manufacturers have not yet
succeeded in doing much business with
European buyers, bu: in that line.

ports il a few years. believe that

Grace also spoke of the well-sustained
activity in certain lines of machinery

of the depression. 10 which Mr.. Sage

Wnne rne Railroad Men Say.

tfr. II. Walter Webb. of the New
York Central railroad, reports very
noticeable increase in local business
along the line of rail with which he is
connected. There is a greater local
activity he said to-day, than there
has been during the past eighteen
months, and while the aggregate in
crease is not startlingly large, it means
a great deal. This is especially notice
able in the manufacturing towns. Sta
tons that have been using but two or
three ears a day are now calling for
seven or eight. These things mean a
decided increase of business in the
autumn unless there is crop failure,
for, with the railroads, general I'M
provement is always preceded by
picking up of local freight business,
and this was pronounced all through
the month Of March. The local pas
senger business has never suffered as
much rs has the freight business,
though there was some falling off,
which has row been, followed by inn

: E. WALTER WEBB. GeCCng ready TO
do business, il not actually doing it,
and that is very encouraging. We are
not worrying because of the slow re-
vival of through business, since
through business means merely ex-
port business. We like export busi-
ness, of course, because it brings
foreign money into the country, but
what we must have is plenty of busi-
ness in the country and between its
different parts, and it is revival in
this direction that we are hoping for
and that we are beginning TO observe.
1t is yet too early to talk much about
the crops. but from the boiled out ard
hard baked plains of Nebraska and
Kansas, where the dry heats of a num-
Der of summers have fairly cracked
the earth, comes the information that
the heavy SHOWS of last winter and the
copious rains of spring have put the
soil in better shape than it has been in
years, and that means that the people
there will be alive again this year.
This / regard as very important
point, though perhaps not more i'm
portsn. than the fact that such inn
provement as we have seen has been
gradual and not sudden or spasmodic."

1.-The New York clearing house ex..

tion. and their value so far this year
has been considerably in excess of the
volume of transactions during the
first quarter of last year. Though the
clearing house figures do not furnish
an absolutely truthful index, still I
think they are very significant Hero

all this and that prices of goods, rates

autumn will present very satisfactory
condition OF affairs. There are those
probably who do not share in this hope,
fulress. but no one with whom the.
present writer has recently talked has
failed TO speak in tone OF general en-
coura cement, and from this it seems APP
parent that the number who do not
look for continued improvement is
relatively small.
Very hopeful indeed is Hon. War
ner Miller, whose interests IN the
raw materials of paper making are
most important. Mr.. Miller's talk up
on the situation yesterday seemed very

lion upon the advance which have no

you have never thought of it in that
light, but the paper trade is. perhaps,
the most sensitive business barometer
In existence. No transaction whatever
can well be contaminated without the
consumption of paper. When business
is good there is demand for enormous
quantities of bill heads, checks
and drafts, receipts. bills of lading, let
ter paper, telegraph blanks. paper for
the parcels in which goods sold at re-
tail are packed and SO on. Advertis-
ing is always best when there is plenty
of business, and that means, not only
more pages in tho newspapers, but the
printing of hundreds OF hand bills and
many ether kinds of advertising paper.
The circulation of newspapers is also
much better in good times than il bad
times and Whenever general business
Is coed then the consumption of paper
IN all lines is great. When general

present time we find a greater demand

facsurers and dealers are enabled
because Of that to demand and obtain
better prices.
