STATE OF TRADE AT PRESENT
Confidence Revived in General Financial
Circles by the Bond Issue
More Activity in the Dry Goods Line--The
Prospects for Soft Coal.
Railroad Earnings

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-Bradstreet's on satur-
day, will say General trading during this, a
short week, has been more irregular. The sue
cess of the latest emergency bond issue has re-
vived confidence in general financial circles.
Iron and steel are not more active, recent ad-
vsnces being barely maintained.
The outlook in the soft coal industry is more
settled, owing to efforts to form pool, and
steadier prices and wages are expected.
Prices have not reacted materially, conces-
sions in quotations in cattle, lard and oats be-
ing the only losses note. Cotton goods, it is
true, have been barely steady, bu. hogs, pork,
cotton iron and steel remain firm, while corn,
wheat, coffee and refined sugar madefractsonal
advances during the week.
Prices OF wool continue weak, about 10000 0
pounds of X X and above having been picked
up by manufacturers balow &c
In dry goods, foreign dress woolens are rela-
lively more active, jobbers' supplies being
taken about as fast as received Cottons are
quite dull, buyers being Hc lower in their
views than sellers. Milder and brighter
weatherhas somewhat stimulated sales by re
tailers and jobbers.
Exports OF wheat from both coasts OF the
United States Seattle telegram missingl are
naturally smaller than usual for a week, owing
to the hol day, the total amounting TO 1,OS0,-
O7o bushels, against 2.572,OOO last week,
1870. 600 in the week year ago and 2, 546, 900
two years ago.
Net railway earnings for 1894 are not en-
couraging. The gross earnings of 13s railroads
for the year are 1857, $685. ,623; net, $267,O73,-
So, a decrease respectively of Ill and IL, 8
per cent from 1894
In 1893 similar comparison showed de-
crease OF l g per cent in gross and 3.4 per cent
in net The best showing is made by the East
ern railroads, which show the only gain-S.5 8
per cent over 1898.
OF the roads showing decreases the best ex-
hibit is made by the Southern roads-a de-
crease of less than per cent, The southwest
ern and Pacific roads made the poorest show
ing-25S and 1913 per cent decrease.

MARKET GARDENING
A Business That Appears to Be Languishing
In Southern California

In Southern California
Market gard ,ning is a business that at pres
est appears to have fallen into Il condition Of
desuetude in Southern California and the
complaint is general that vegetables are
scarce and high priced--a large portion of the
quantity consumed coming from the Northern
portion of the state. The business was formerly
in the hands OF Chinese, and the falling off in
their number and the indifference of those
that remain has caused a great decline in the
production. which has not yet been made up
by the white population. The average Amer
lean is apt to turn up his nose at the raising
of garden truck, and the farmer who will put
his quarter section in grain, seldom thinks OF
raising the vegetables for his own family and
will buy his eggs and butter at the store.
There Is. however at the present time, ample
opportunity for those who do not despise the
day OF small things TO profitably raise vege''
tables and small fruits, Chicken raising is
another industry affording an opening for peO.
pie with small means.

The demand for medium domestic fleece is

Gen. Cogswell was first wounded at the bat
tie of Antietam. and for bravery on the field
was promoted from Captain to Lieutenant
Colonel. At Charlottesville he was severely
wounded in the arm, and for bravery was again
promoted this time receiving the commission
of Colonel. and being assigned to his homo
regiment. While i'm command of this regiment
he assisted in suppressing the draft riots in
1868. Later his regiment went South and be-
came part OF Sberman's army, when the
Eleventh and Twelfth Corps were merged into
the Twentieth. He served from that time to
the end of the war under Sherman.
In 1861 he was promoted TO be Brevet Briga-
der General and assigned TO the command Of
the Third Brigade, Third Division, Twentieth
Corps and was at the head of those troops at
the battle of Averysburg and Bentonville, N.
c., where no was for third time badly
wounded.
Gen. Cogswell was mustered out of the serv.
ice in August, 1865. having served over four
years, and when he retired from the service
the commission of Brevet Major General was
rendered him, bnt he declined it. He was
elected to the 5Oth Congress Republican
and was reelected to the 51st SD, 53d aud
54th Congresses.

in organdy OF swiss, and their frocks need not
be provided by the bride Many brides ask
each girl to get her own outfit. though she
decides exactly what it is to be-hats, gowns,
ribbons. flowers, shoes, and all. Souvenirs for
the attendants. If that means gifts for The
bridesmaids, can DO brought down TO s., and
two maids can have very dainty pins or buckles
for that amount. The breakfast is not neees-
sarily elaborate and expensive, though the
preparation and serving Of food involves quite
good deal Of money and trouble. But simple
breakfast-at high noon, when it is really moro
luncheon-is not impossible even for modest
bride. The church and house decorations ara
most expensive when orchids and splendid
roses are brought into use, and least costly
when daisies. dogwOod, ferns, palms and rosesar
chosen. Either way the bride is surrounded by
flowers, as she should be, and who shall say
that tho orchid is more beautiful than the daisy
or garden rose. All the way through the sx-
penses can be cut down and still have a happy
wedding and pretty bride. As for stationery
It's best to get that as handsome and as Correct
as one can afford. for the wedding cards must
go to every friend and acquaintance.
pretty dress is of cream white batiste or
lawn, made with FULL swinging skirt, trimmed
with two ruflies of creamy Yaleuciennes lace.
Tine waist is Of Marie An,oinette embroidery,
which is much like the all-over embroidery Of
a few years ago, except it is not so elaborate
and has more OPeu-work effect. The sleeves
are Of the plain baptiste. finished with rufies of
lace. With the frock Is worn a sash and belt
of odd silk-black and white. with single
narrow satin stripe of yellow running through
the ribbon. 1t makes altogether a Frsnchy
gown.
The dotted Swisses are often made up over
silken Innings. The plain white over taffeta
and the white dotted with pink or blue over
pink or blue silk. These make most fascinst
ing costumes.

This list was given as good average account
of the necessary expenditures for a wedding
If it were so there would be very few brides
this June, for 5000 is good deal to pay for a
wedding day. It is perhaps modest amount
when compared to the thousands spent on
weddings like the Gould and Letter affairs,
where the flowers alone cost many hundreds
but on the other side we have not nearly so
many Gould and Letter fortunes as ne have
modest ones, and for the daughters of these
there may be as delightful and exquisite we'd
dings as any bride could wish, and not even
5000 will be needed. That wedding provides
for a church affair where choristers, sexton, and
all, must be paid. OF course, the groom fees the
minister, and the bride does not have that
expense. He also provides carriages for
the wedding party, and bouquets for the
bride and her maids, and favors for the ushers
The family of the bride attend to all other
expenses-cards, flowers, and palms for the
church, wedding breakfast. awnings, souvenirs
for the bridesmaids, aud the boxes of wedding
cake for the guests. brides frock need not
cost 5000; $50 would be big amount for
some girls, and that would include fine satin
and the bill for a good dressmaker. II she
choose humber modste her bill will be much
lessened, and she can choose less expensive
materials than satin-silk, or even null makes
a pretty wedding frock, and ono very often
chosen. The bridesmaids are prettiest attired
