The Arabian Nights.

The Home Dramatic Club will put
this sparkling comedy on the stage
Friday evening next. The announce
ment that our local troupe is to appear
is always sufficient guaranty of a full
house and an enthusiastic audience.
On this occasion, however, better
play than ever will be presented in a
much better manner. For ten days
the rehearsals have been under the
direction of Miss Essie Tittell, the
Portland favorite, who has brought
the skill of the professional to the aid
of the natural talent of our amateurs,
and the result will be manifest in a
smoother running play. We have not
yet learned the cast of characters, but
will publish it in full in day or so.
Don't forget the night, or the Arabian
Nights either, but secure your seats
early, or stand up.

Testing the Parrot Engine.

A test of Elijah Parrott's new rotary
engine was made last Monday, at the
planning mill, in this city. 1t did not,
however, work very satisfactorily,
owing to lack of steam power. There
were other difficulties, too, in the way
of fair test. The engine was too
near the main shaft; the belt was too
short, etc. While under motion one
of the belts slipped off the pully, and
as there is one on each side of the
engine, it jerked it out of place and
sadly deranged the machinery of the
motor. A readjustment of some of the
fixtures is now going on and another
lest is expected today, or next Mondey.
However, Mr.. Parrott has concluded
not to allow spectators to be present
at the test, as they are continually in
the way.-Agriculturist.

So Says Bradstreet's Report Issued To-
day.

day.
General trade throughout the United
States shows further improvement this
week, more particularly in manufactur-
ing and commercial lines in the east
and south. In South Atlantic, Gulf
and Southwestern states and on the
Pacific coast, general trade has been
increasing in volume, with improving
mercantile collections and goods SELL
ing with less effort in many instances.
In support of favorable influencing
conditions are this weeks heavily in
creasing total of bank clearings; the
largest weeks aggregate of wheat ex-
ports within three months; the heavi-
est weeks shipments of Indian corn in
IL months; the maintenance at it's full
proportions of the extraordinarily
heavy demand for iron and steel, and
the significant hardening of leading
money markets, accompanied by re-
ports OF increasing mercantile dis
counts.
Price tendencies this week are more
favorable from the holders point of
view. advances having been recorded
in wheat, corn and oats, after a pro-
longed reaction in wheat, -four, raw
and refined sugar, coffee, cotton goods,
leather and turpentine. A special in
quiry by Bradstreet's into prices for
more than 100 staple products show
that in the second quarter of the cur
rent calendaryear there were advances
in quotations, Sc; no change, II, and
lower price, %.
Wheat exports, both coasts, United
States and Canada, aggregate 2,538, 900
bushels this week flour included as
wheat gain of one-third over last
week, but in contrast with 1851 900
bushels one year ago, 4,727 900 bushels
two years ago and 3,811 900 bushels in
the same week in 1892. New York and
Montreal and the Pacific coast shipped
more freely. The exports of Indian
corn aggregate 1,645, 900 bushels this
week, twice what was sent out last
week, much larger qusntity than in
the like week in preceding years, and
the heaviest weeks total since April,
1894.
