Facta About Blue-Ersd cats.

1t is curious fact that blue-eyed
cats are invariably deaf. Mr.. j. Har-
rison Weir, great authority on the
cat, once bought big, white, blue-eyed
beauty, which seemed to be every inch
good cat, except that its vocal organ
was of such robust power that her
cries drove the household frantic. After
some strange experiences the problem
was solved by this voiceful specimen
being taken home by a kind old lady,
who was herself stone deaf.

GENERAL TRADE.

New York, August 21.-Bradstreets
tomorrow will say:
General trade throughout the United
States is practically confined to staple
lines. The volume Of business is no
larger. Where orders have increased
in number they are smaller in size In
almost all instances they are based on
near by requirements. The feature OF
the week is the increased difficulty in
making collections and the higher rates
for mercantile discounts. Credits are
being scanned more closely than here
tofore and are granted less freely.
The total business failures in the
United States il pa this week, six more
than last week, 70 more than in this
week a year ago, 13 more than in the
third week Of August, 1894, the period
of extreme depression after the panic
OF 1893. The feature Of the weeks fall
ures is found in the number Of embar-
easements among concerns Of large
capital. There are thirty business fail
ures in Canada this week, 35 last week,
81 year ago and 30 two years ago.

Under the direction Of Superintend-
ent Lester. of the Seashore road. the
work Of laying the rails across Young's
Bay bridge is rapidly progressing. At

tween Astoria and Seaside Monday or |
Tuesday instead Of via Flavel as at |
present. The new service will be ap- |
preciated by the thousands Of people |
who visit the beaches, and by none
more than Astorians, who have waited
for years for proper railroad facilities /
The energy displayed by the railroad /
company in laying the rails so prompt
ly after the arrival of the Chelmsford,
deserves much credit.
AT Warrenton great improvements
are being made daily. The new depot

CONDITION OF BUSINESS.
Dun's Weekly Report Gives a More
Hopeful outlook.

New York. August 21.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review Of Trade tomor-
row viii say:
The political events Of the week had
no definite influence upon the business
prospects, for the phenomenal varia-
tions of sterling exchange and the be-
ginning Of imports OF gold may be
fairly attributed to the accumulating
excess Of merchandise over imports,
to which attention has been repeatedly
called. The exports from New York
for the past two weeks have been 20
per cent larger and the imports p per
cent smaller than last year.
The rapid movement Of grain and un-
usually early marketing of cotton tend
strongly TO aid the banking syndicate
which has undertaken to regulate for
eign exchange.
