TRADE REVIEW.

January Saw the Lowest Prices for An
Comm cditles Ever Known.
New YORK, Feb. 2.-R. G.. Dun's
weekly review of trade says: Things
look better near the close of this
week, because it is believed that a
new loan will be negotiated There
was need for relief, since January
closed with the heaviest gold exports
ever made in any month and the
heaviest Withdrawals of gold from
the treasury, $45, 46s, 1os, the hope of
new loan being the one thing which
has lifted prices during the past
few days. January leaves be-
hind it the lowest average of
prices for all commodities ever
known; for cotton, iron and its pro-
ducts, wool and silver, the lowest
monthly average ever known, and
for wheat, range above the mini
mum, but yet declining rapidly to-
ward that point. Industrial opera
tions have not materially diminished,
though it has been a disappointing
month because the revival expected
has not come. The continuing drift
of money to New York shows scanty
commercial demand in the interior
and no improvement appears here in
commercial loans. In short, busine IS
is still waiting and finds reason for
hesitation in the condition of the
treasury.

REGULARITY of the NIocking Bird.

The most remarkable thing about O
hooking bird is it's way of laying out q
range. In the autumn it goes south
and establishes itself on piece OF
ground that will yield berries and other
food enough to last until the following
spring. The tract is determined re.
speeding boundaries with as much &C
curacy as mining prospector would
use in stalking out claim. Perhaps it
may be only fifty yards square, and it
may have length and breadth of as
much as one hundred yards. The space
depends mainly upon the food supply
in sight, but the hooking bird is a
great glutton and wants ten times the
quantity that would be necessary to
keep him alive. Having laid out his
range, the owner will defend 1t with
his life, and no other fruit-eating bird
10 allowed to enter it.

Historic Ship That Has just Zee
Sold for the Metal In Her.
Beached upon the BEAUFORT shoals
near Quebec, lies the old steamship
Alert, which in ls75-78 was moored
nearer to the north pole than any other
vessel has ever been, says the New
York Sun.
She was the flagship of the Mares
Arctic expedition and lay all winter at
Floberg beach, SO degrees IA minutes
north latitude. In 1888 she was pre-
scented by the British government to
our government to take part in the
Greedy relief expedition, and after that
successful enterprise she was returned
with thanks to the British.
In 1885 she was loaned to the Cana
dian government to investigate the
navigablility of Hudson straits, and to
bring back the party of explorers left
upon its banks in 1884 by the Neptune,
On this trip the Alert was commanded
by Capt. Gordon, and for three weeks
was jammed in a field Of ice. 1t was
her last northern voyage.
The imperial authorities presented
her to the Canadian government, and
the latter, finding her at last to be un-
seaworthy, after employing her for
some time in the buoy and lighthouse
service, sold her at auction several days
ago.
She was bought for $4,000 by ship

Atlanta Exposition.

Atlanta Exposition.
According to story which comes up
from Capt. Hal Tabb Walker, a promi-
nent planter of Georgia and resident
of Atlanta there is much need Of en-
lightenment in the southern portion of
the state. 1t seems that man living
in that section was sent on some mis-
sion up to Atlanta during the month of
July last. While there he saw and was
much interested in the making Of arti-
fetal ice
Returning home he told Of this to his
friends, and for all the fact that he is
rood church member and up to that
time had been highly respected citi-
zen of the community, he was at once
looked upon with suspicion. The feel.
ing ran so high against him for telling
and persisting in telling that men, com
mon mortals, were making ice in the
hot month of July, something they de-
clared the Lord could not do, that he
was threatened with expulsion from
the church.
He did his best to defend himself,
and at last suggested that delegation
of the most reputable church members
go with him to Atlanta, where, he as
serted. he would prove his statement to
their entire satisfaction. The elders,
willing to give him chance, did select
committee, which with the accused
proceeded to Atlanta, and there, of
course. they saw that their brother was
right and that men, common mortals,
did make ice in July.
They all returned home and as quick
ly as possible meeting was called to
hear the report. When the elders heard
the delegation declare, as had the
brother before it, that ice was really
made in Atlanta in July they arose in
theiN wrath and churched the whole
lot of them.
