New YORK, July 29.-R. G. Dun &
Co. IS weekly review or trade says:
1T is not the season for the tide of business
to rise, but there is perceived scarcely any
shrlnkage except that which comes naturally
with midsummer heat Lateness of spring
trade threw heavy settlements into the
second week of July, and clearing house
payments are now almost quarter smaller
than in that week, but are 2L1 larger than last
year, and only per cent smaller than in the
same week OF 1892. The volume OF
new business is small compared with
recent months, but large enough to encour-
age more opening of long-closed works, and
more advances in returns to labor. ImpOr-
tant strikes show that the advance is not
enough for some, but seem not more threaten
ing than a week ago. The small shipments OF
gold count for nothing, and money markets are
undisturbed
Accounts of shrinkage in the yield Of wheat
come both from Pacific states and from the
DakotaS. 1t would be strange and unnatural
July without such reports, and yet they have
weight enough this year to lead even the most
experienced to reduce somewhat their esti-
mate of yield, while the price has advanced
81 cents this week
Corn advanced about cent with wheat,
but has since lost all the gain. Cotton has re-
manned unchanged at cents. although the
latest reports favor larger estimates of yield
a circular by Neill going much beyond other
figures. 1t is somewhat significan. that the
stock markets show entire Indifference to crop
reports
Prices of iron and steel products still rise,
the feature this week being the startling adj
vance of fifty cents per key in cut and wire
nails, with new cards for various sizes which,
1t is stated, make the advance actually great
er than it appears.
1.-The financial situation is not disturbed by
gold shipments, nor by the large excess OF
treasury expenditures, amounting to about
S12 100000 Receipts are naturally better in
July than in most other months, but expenses
are also large. Money scarcely begins to go
out for crop moving and the demand for COM
mercial loans is not as large locally as it
should be.

COURTESY TO INTERIORS.

A truly Christian man has no interiors, in
the sense of despising them, or of exalting
himself above them. The law Of love Is a
great leveler-bringing all beings upon an
equality. in respect to moral rights. With him
contemptuous treatment Of fellow-being is
impossible for one OF the first promptings OF
his renewed nature, as we'll as of the articles
of his faith, Is to honor all men. true Wis
ion Of the infinite worth Of the human soul
sinks outward distinctions into nothingness,
and he whose spiritual senses have been
quickeDed by the Divine life, sees in every
human being, however lowly. the elements Of
an awful grandelr which admits of neither
measurement nor contempt, The gospel's
democratic tendencies are indisputably in
terrible from the view it gives men Of their
spiritual nature and eternal destiny.

interiors in life. Nothing shows a greater
abjectness of spirit than an overbearing tenn
per. To insult or 10 abuse those who cannot
resist, or dare not resent the inlury1s sure
mark of cowardice, as 1t would be to draw
sword upon Il woman. The man who can
consent to abuse his interiors, you may be-
sure will creep to his superiors for the same
elements OF character 60 to make the bully
and the coward. The treatment a man
gives to his servants or apprentices, or
wife and children, will often be the true
measure OF his manliness. He who tyran-
nizes there, would lord it every

displays where he can, and not the courtesy
and gentleness he shows where he must, IL
the index of his real character. Little do

DANGER OF FIRST SINS.

have observed one very undesirable fact
in my own experience and in my observation
of others; this fact Is, that everything de-
pends on the manner in which first sins and
first slips from the right path are treated. Il
q first false step is promptly met by thor
ough repentance Jas in the case OF Peters lie
in Pilates halD there the mischief ends. The
soul soon RECEIVERS its healthy tone, and is
sometimes the wiser and stronger for its sad
experience But If the first sin Is followed
BY second and a third and fourth, without
any coutrition before God, then conscience
soon becomes beuumbed and powerless. In
time it is .'seared as with a hot iron" This
Is the case with those professed Christians
who lapse into sensual vices, or who are de-
tected in dishonest defalcations or breaches
of trust. All these men could easily have
been saved right after the first transgress on;
but when that was passed without compunc-
ton the rapids soon whrlcG them over the
cataract. 1t is astonishing to observe how
fast will soothe even a Christian con-
science -Cuyler.

RELIGIOUS READING.
A GOOD INTRODUCTION,

missionary in one of the western terri
tories once lost his way when travelling
through an extensive forest. Wearied with
effort to find q path through the almost
trackless wilderness tired and hungry, he
became at last completely worn cat and dis
couraged. In this situation he could only
lift up his heart to God in earnest prayer, and
ask to be delivered from the perils that sur
rounded him-for shadows Of night were
already falling and the country being newly
settled, there WIS great danger Of an attack,
either from wandering tribes of Indians, or
savage beasts Of prey.
After awhile he resolved to allow his faith
full horse to become his guide, so throwing
the reins on his neck, he left him to pick out
his own way through the woods. The
wearied animal began to prick up his ears,
and quckencd his paco into trot. After
few miles he neighed frequently, as II they
were coming into the neighborhood OF civil
lied life, and, to the gentleman's great Joy,
there soon appeared the clearing of settler,
with its little log cabin and neat paltng
fence.
The traveller alighted and went into the
house, intending to ask for shelter and food
both for himself and his tired animal. But
he found the man and his wife who were the
owners OF the cabin, rather unwilling to re-
ceive him as their guest for the night, al
though it seemed impossible for him to con-
tinue his journey. The woman, especially as
she placed some eatabes on the table, looked
at him with distrust and suspicion ON her
countenance.
The good man. who could not help seeing
that he was an unwelaome visitor, felt not a
little embarrassed, and noticing two bright
eyed boys playing about the room, he began
to talk to them in winning way that the
children love- Taking from his pocket
book with colored pictures, which at once
drew them to his side, he went on to tell
them about Jesus, and how he loved and
blessed little chiliren such as they.
The woman listened with much emotion.
tear stole down her cheek.
80, John" she exclaimed. as her husband
came in from attending to the travellers
horse, ''this is a good man, we need not
fear lodging him tonight. Now, sir, you will
tell us something about the Savior we both
love. We have not heard preaching for
years."
The good missionary complied, and when,
In the course Of years, the settlement grew,
and church and Sunday school were formed
neither he nor his entertainers had cause to
regret that he had once lost his way in the
Wilderness Child's World.

SCHEME TO SAVE MILLIONS.

It is to Utilize the Water Power Alb owe
Meeker's Island for the Twin Cities.
Thomas Lowry, President OF the. Twin
City Transit Company, and Charles A. Pills
bury, the big miller, have evolved a scheme
which, they claim, will save st. Paul and
Minneapolis millions Of dollars. 1t is, in a
word, to utilize the water power above Meek
er's Island.
The energy of the Falls OF st. Anthony.
which grind the wheat for the millions OIL in
habitants OF this and other countries, is "a, 1000
horse power, and it is estimated that the
present scheme of iamming the river 4 short
distance below the present falls, at least
within mile of them, will give fully 10000
horse power, power almost half US great as
the maximum energy Of st. Anthony and
sufficient to operate the street car lines OF
both cities, the mills and factories, wheat
and building eleratorS--in fact, sufficient to
supplant steam wherever used, and place
lamp on every street crossing in either city,
and all ut halfthe present cost.

WHAT LYING MAN SAID TO HIS FRIEND.

WHAT LYING MAN SAID TO HIS FRIEND.
Lavater mentions the last visit he paid to
his most intimate friendI All present having
left the room, the dying man said, !'Let me
tell you in few words tnat I have not led
the life Of Christian.
Il have not been a hypocrite-not what
the world calls hypocrite; but have not
been q Christian. And I trust you wilthank
me in the next world, for this wound must
inflict on your Ecart.
Eve have not Leen Christian friends. The
love of Jesus has not dwelt in US. Our friend
shin was not founded on Him. How many
hundred hours of our short life have we
killed by useless conversation with plans OF
ambition What the world calls noble am
bion is abominabe in The sight Of God; an
ever-destroying poison to the soul; bane
70 all virtue; hell to the heart which
perceives it Is at the gates Of death,
when begins to be sensible OF the eter-
nity of God, OF Chrst's unspeakable maj ajes-
ty, and His Incompatible humility. o my
friend, that passion has caused me q
thousand burning tears OF unutterable grief.
Unspeakably have been afflicted by every
impulse of that monster, now I am on the
brink of eternity. Ohow heavenly true are
those words of my Saviour,- -'Whosoerer
shall exaIt himself shall be abased! Jesus
Christ was humility itself. 1t is enough that
the deciple be as his lord.--O friend! heaven
and earth shall pass away but not the words
of Christ. How my best actions dwindle
away on the brink of the grave! How horrible
are nv faults and foibles, which formerly
thought little, towering up! Alas, how little
do We know ourselves. though the hustle OF
life be ever so gentle! O, how dreadful is
the stiffness Of death. how terrible the heavy
load of our 5wn heart! Creator! Father!
What name shall give to Thy mercy, which
will forgive forever those enormous acts OF
thoughtlessness and destroy, through Jesus
Christ, all the bad consequences they pro-
duced to me and otheis? Thou art-les!
Thou art-Lore.'

wages to their weavers. There are several
other manufacturers Of the same line Of
goods, the weavers say, who nave also
been asked for an advance In wages, but de-
layed arranging until Dolan & Co. took ac-.
tion, and now that the latter firm has grant
ed the increase the others, it Is expected,
will shortly follow suit.

the effect that five Of the ten per cent. re-
duction lately made In the wages OF the en-

the remaining five per cent. will be restored
soon. o
The Globe Iron Works, Cleveland, Ohio,,
made cut of ten per cent. In wages about

works announcing a restoration to the old
rate. The Cleveland Shipbuilding Company
