the entertainment will be well worth

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Condition of Trade.

Neither the beginning of the new
year, nor the failure of the currency
bill. has brought anv material change to
business as vet. The idea that business
would suddenly take new start after
the holidays had rather less foundation
even than usual, but the hope of strong
revival little later is still cherished by
many. The currency bill, with its
possibilities Of vicious amendments,
was source of apprehension to some,
but with that out of the way, the def
cheney of Treasury receipts remains,
and exports of gold do not cease.
Exchanges through principal clearing
houses are % per cent larger than last
year, but 24.2 per cent less than in 1893
There has not been much time for
change in the Industries, but differences
observed since the new year begau are
not in the direction of higher prices or
larger demand. There are more indi-
cations than of late that stocks of
different kinds of goods have been
accumuating in consequence of past
increase in production
