The Firm Survived.


heard of clerk once in a large draper S
shop, who was smart and quick and a
splendid manager, but he got swelled
head, and put on consequential airs. Once
he took occasion to say to his associates
that the concern couldn't possibly get along
successfully without him.
So the old entleman who was the senior
partner called him into the office one day
and said:
MIR. jerks, you have been very efficient,
and we appreciate your services. but hear
that you have repea teddy asserted that If
you were to die the business couldn't pos
sbly survive it, and this has worried me
considerably, for you, like all men. are Ii
able to die very unexpectedly, and so we
have concluded to experiment while we are
all in health and see If the concern will
survive. So you will please consider your
self dead for one year, and draw no salary
for that time, and we will try it."

R. G. DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.

New York, October Pr. G. Dun az
Co.'S weekly review of trade, which is
sues tomorrow, will say;
Ten days ago gold exports seemed
very near. But the break in cotton
which then began, ripened on Monday
into a collapse sufficient to justify hope
of a free movement. Hides have also
dropped sharply at Chicago; leather Is
weaker, and the adjustment of prices
to realizations of imaginary conditions
progresses rapidly. Already lower
prices in iron have brought out some
important contracts. Money markets
cause remarkably little trouble. Cooler
weather has generally helped retail
trade, and with increased consumption
by the millions the way will be clear
for better business. Already payments
through clearing houses closely ap-
proach for October those of the best
year in history, though rejecting on
past transactions and new orders are
still much needed by the great indus
tries.

ished products on the whole declined
