The Condition ofthe Country Grow
ing More Prosperous.
r. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review Re-
veals Some Interesting Facts. Adj
vance Of Wages of Iron Work
ers Significant. The De-
mand Increases.
By Southern Associated Press.

New YORK. May l7.-R. q. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade to-mor-
row will say:
The severe cold snap, with extensive
frosts, and IN some States snow, has
fortunately done little damage to the
great crops, though much to fruit, but
has considerably retarded retail trade.
Ihe best news of the week is the nd
vance of 10 per cent in wages by the
Carnegie sWorks, followed by the Jones
Mclaughlin establishment, and evi
IDENTIFY implying similar advance by
many other concerns.
The Illinois Steel Company is start.
ing its furnaces without granting the
demands of employees. No advance has
been found practicable on the WOODEN
mills, where conditions as to prices and
foreign competition ure very different.
and about 200 workers are still idle
at Olneyville, whore the works should
consume 600, 900 pounds per week. In
other departments Of labor troubles are
not serious and tine demand for manu-
faotnred products iucreas
With material and stendy enlnree
ment In domestic trade, there is still
great want OF employment in the inte
rIor for money which comes hither,
So, 800, 600 during the past wse1, aud
with the milliuns distributed by the
syndicate on bond account stimulates
speculation.
Cotton is an eighth stronger III spite
of the fact that 9,46l, ,0Sl bales had
come INTO sight last Friday, which is
over 1OO, QUO bales more than the larg
est crop ever recorded.
Northern spinnere have taken a little
tN.
the crop was over 5000, 0U0 bales. but
OF least 500, 200 more than they have
consumed "a yet, and foreign splnners
hold nearly 100000 Eaes more
than they hnve consumed, while com
mercinl stocks here aud abroad are
2iO, OOO bales moro than three years
ago. The manufacture is prospering,
though no one can suppose its con
sumption Is quite nt the maximum, and
for the year 1t certainly has not been.
Goods arc IN fair demand for the
season.
Advances in wages of iron workers
by Mr. Frlck. Of the Carnegie Com
pany, are as significant as were tho
advances In wages of coke workers by
tue frick Coke Company. Apparently
II Is strategic movement in the great
bnttle between iron producing inter.
ests, although II is generally inter.
preted ns proof that the outlook for
trade Is sufficient to warrant q material
advance in wages and prices.
Most furnaces IN the Mahoning Val.
ley have also advanced wages, and
Bessemer iron has risen to Sl1. 40 at
Pittsbnrg, with grey forge TO S3.6
The shoe manufacture is doing re.
markably well.
Failures during the past week have
beeu 2ll IN the United States, against
2l9 last year, aud 81 IN Canada, against
y last year.

There is evidence in abundance to prove
that when the American negro leaves this
country to settle in another he is morally
certain TO render his condition much worse
than it is here. With all that has been
said, either falsely or with truth, about the
abridgment of the negros rights in the
South, he is really better off there than
anywhere else. He finds there a healthful
and congenial environment, occupation
which is well fitted to his peculiar capab bill
ties, fruitful soil, a hospitable climate
and plenty to eat and wear. AS for his
civil and political rights, that is something
which vii work out al. al right IN the end

to be his especial guardians.-Kansas City

Controlled by n Hair.

One solitary Lcman hair seems q
very small thing, but II is the most i'm.
portant part of an important machine
In the Capitol at Washington. The ma
chine warns and ventilates the House,
the Senate, and the various committee
rooms and runs several electric dyna.
mos. Its most curious feature Is the
appliance for telling the proper tenn.
perature Of the air In the building. A
dial arranged like a clock marks DIFF.
ferent degrees from zero to 100. Zero
means perfectly dry air, 100 saturated
dir; !. e., air carrying all the moisture
II will hold. Human hair absorbs mois.
ture like n rope, becoming shorter
when II Is wet. The hair here is six
Inches long. The difference in length
between II when wet and when dry
stands for the 100 degree of moisture
on the dial, and as the moisture of the
hair varies the pointer on the dial
moves. According to the necessity more
steam is thrown in or steam is allowed
to escape, the atmosphere being in this
way regulated and kept at healthy
point.
