The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1895-05-31

Business continues to brighten
throughout the county. Bradstreet's
of Saturday says:
The moderate reaction in the stock
market last week and this week, caused
primarily by repeated frosts and re-
ports of severe damage to cereal crops
and other farm produce, was followed
only in part by a corresponding check
to the movement in general trade.
Our special telegraphic advices fur
nish the most striking evidence of a
broadening of the demand for staples.
No one of the large grain states con-
firms the reports of severe damage to
wheat and corn with which the eX-
; changes have abounded. The most
bullish feature of the wheat situation
lies In the announced restriction of
Argentine and Russian exports, re-
duced export ability of nearly all
leading producers and shorter sup
plies Of importing countries. Few
believe wheat has touched its highest
poiIt on this wave.
Exports of wheat from the United
States, both coasts and Montreal,
this week amount to 2.754 900 BUSH
els, against 2,397,OC0 bushels last
week, 2,3l0, 900 bushels in the third
week OF May, 1894, $4,000 bushels
in the week in 1898, 2,2S0,0 900 BUSH
els in the year before that, and as
compared with 2,342,000 bushels ex-
ported in 1891.
The free silver coinage craze APP.
pears to have encountered many ugly
! facts, notably the increase in the
worlds. production Of gold, the fall
ing off in the output of silver, and
the all but universal advance in prices
Of staple products, extending now
over more than two months. This
weeks records of advances are as
conspicuous as ever.
Other significant trade features of
the week are sending out of travelling
statesmen by prominent jobblpg
houses, heavy general improvement
in collections, a tendency on the part
of retailers to depart from the hand
to. mouth policy of the past two years,
and, as noteworthy as anything else,
the fact that at some of the larger
cities credits are not scanned as free
ly as a year ago, and the banks are
inclined to take cognizance of this in
discounting paper.
| Bank clearings this week maintain
the previous large volume, although
showing decrease of 4 per cent from
last week. The gain this week ovel
the week in 1894 is fully 80 per cent
Business failures throughout thu
country have begun to fall away, il
line with conditions described
amounting to only 206 this week, a
gainst 210 last week, 237 in the weel
year ago and 247 two years ago.

The fight against the trolley road
in Brattleboro hasn't as yet deralled
the car of progress. Its wheels are
still moving smoothly with or without
injunction grease. A company has
just been organized at Springfield,
Mass. and is about to begin the man
ufacture of electric and gasoline car
riages. Since model carriage was
completed, about a month ago, it has
been run over 1000 miles and has es-
tablished its practicability on country
as we'll as city roads. 1t requires no
oiling being run on ball bearing, and
is many ways superior to the horse
and carriage, now used. The cost of
running the carriage is small and it
can be run over 100 miles without re-
filing. A tip was made to Hartford
and return recently inside of three
hours. The price of the vehicle is to
be about $3.50, and orders have been
received for about fifty carriages.
There is little doubt, but that the next
five years will see remarkable changes
in methods of travelling about the
country.

The Carnegie company is being
overpraised for having kept its word,

be unusual for corporations to keep
their words, but it isn't as rare as
might be supposed from reading SO
much editorial praise of Carnegie.

Lyuching seems not wholly confined
to the South. The most recent case
came off in Danville, Ill. Two brutes
seized young lady on bridge in
the evening carried her to swamp
and assaulted her, keeping her all
night. They were arrested and lodg-
ed in Jail. A mob assembled, beat
down the Jail doors, took the creatures
out and hung them from the same
bridge wherein they captured the
girl. And furthermore the mob did
just right. This leaving the fate of
such demons to the laws course may
sound very pretty to some but it is
pure rot all the same. Hanging is

tho various garments of silk and wool,
mainly colored. in which those women
fond OF new things have clad themselves
beneath the visible ~vesture, but now linen,
lawn, nainsook and batiste have been re-
stored to their proper kingdom and are the
acme of fashion. Old fashioned women al
ways wore them for the sake of their fresh
ness and daintiness, and now every woman
wears them, whether it is according to her
own taste or not. Collars, vests and yokes
Of white wash goods are a part of the outer
costume and are charming in their delicacy
and freshness, for unless they are fresh
and immaculate they are intolerable. Col
lars and cuffs are embroidered, trimmed
with lace or insertion or simply hem
stitched, but their cut, especially that of
the collars, is often something wonderful.
They range from the tiny, turned over
band to immense capelike or battlemented
garments that fall over the shoulders and
nearly to the waist, back and front. White
nainsook trimmed with white or yellow
lace, brownish grass cloth similarly
adorned and black batiste set off with but
ter color or pure white are all seen in
great variety of shape.
An illustration Is given of q gown of
mauve gauffered batiste over mauve silk.
The godet skirt has a putting of white ba-
tiste about the foot. The figaro front Of
b bodice opens over a plastron of white
lace. The gigot sleeves nave pulled epau-
lets Of white batiste and are finished at the
wrist with lace cuffs. The collar is of
white gauze, the belt of white faille ribbon
with long ends at each side.

"It was the result of a wager with

me to become the trial horse. After
kicking hard for a half hour, l under
went a deal of rubbing with SALIVA

its powers to alleviate stiffness and
soreness, my ability to kick would
be unimpaired. / did not believe
