the cold night air with the distinct
consciousness that 1 ought to have
called that woman a mean name.
There wasn't any fortune nor any

whose feet gave forth no sound.
That may have been because they

her feet kept quiet. When 1 turned

STATE OF TRADE.
The Increase in Speculation the Most
Noticeable Feature.
BY Southern Associated Pres.

by Southern Associated Press
New YORK, April 19.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S, weekly review of trade to NOR
row will say:
In every speculative department
business is growing, but this is really
the least satisfactory feature of the
situation. Cotton, oil and wheat climb
above the export price, 80 that tho
murketlng OF products abroad must be
checked and money is absorbed which
ought be employed in productive in
dustry and in distribution of products
to consumers.
Everybody knows that oil has not
risen 200 per cent. because it is in.
trinsIcally more valuable, nor IS wheat
actually worth more than it was two or
three weeks ago, but the expansive and
up-nying has unfortunately taken to
speculation rather than to production,
and SO we have higher prices III all
speculative markets without larger
demand for consumption.
There is no evidence that cotton is
III larger demand thnn it was when tho
price WAS l cent lower, but prices have
been 80 low for months that an upward
movement was easy without much rea-
son, though stocks here and abroad are
800, 600 bales larger than they were at
the same date after the greatest crop
ever produced heretofore, ana spinners
here aud abroad have tuken about
l.6O0, OO0 bales more than they have
consumed. The rise tends 10 prevent
the decrease of acreage. which ID its
one reasonable excuse.
Outside OF speculative market, the
most important feature is the rise III
l,,E hAa lN,,t ,,.,l, -. 4,
TO the control OF sources of supply by
u few strong corporations. There
ought to be, but apparently is not,
sufficient power III the hands of the
government to meet any such couspira
cy against the public, aud the proposal
OF Secretary Morton to admit Mexican
cattle aud cattle from Canada on easy
terms for the benefit of consumers, is
heartily commended, though it is not
likely to have much Influence. The
actual decrease in receipts of cattle ut
the four chief Western markets has
been 200. 600 head during the first
quarter of 1895, and the quantity killed
has been only $4,000 head less than last
year, about 10 per cent, but facts lave
little to DO with prices IN this case, as
III the case of oil.
Some large textile mills have ad.
vanced wages ut Fall River about ~
per cent, restoring the rates paid after
the reduction In September, 1898. La
Dor troubles are comparatively less Sc
rious this week. The cotton mills are
encouraged by improving prices and
are fairly busy.
Money markets nre comparatively
uuli and accumulation from the iute
rlor continues, although there is not
material increase III the commercial
demand. Foreign trade shows c heavy
