REVIEW OF TRADE.
No General Change for the Better, Al
though Bopefulness PredOminates.


though BOpefulnesa PredOminates.
New YORK, Feb. 2o.-R. G. Dun &
Co. 8 Weekly Review of Trade, says:
In some quarters business gains at the west,
rather than at the east, but there is no general
change for the better, although hopefulness
still predominates. The want of sufficient de-
mand for the products of great industries still
retardS actual Improvement. Strikes of some
Importance in garment-making and kindred
lines affect trade in Chicago and Baltimore,
but there fewer labor difficulties than
usual, existing conditions warn wage
earners that controversies at this time are UNI
wise.
Wheat has taken flight upward, advancing
81 cents for cash and Pa cents for May, with
rumors Of foreign supplies as the only basis.
Estimates of wheat in farmers hands are
lower than last year, but still indicate, with
visible stocks, a supply much beyond probable
needs.
Cotton has been weaker, with only fair re-
ceiptS, the important decline in goods having
much influence The price OF lniddling up
lands has declined a sixteenth and prepara-
tions for large increase of acreage is still re-
ported The market for textile goods is disap-
pointing. Material reductions in cottonS have
not brought out the needed demand, and the
further decline in brown sheetings this week
to Al cents corresponds with reports that mills
Of some Importance may prefer to arrest pro-
duction for time, unless demand improves
WOODEN goods manufacturers are receiving
considerable orders for spring goods, but bust
ness for the futures does not mend. Clay
worsteds again shade lower, the range
for all woolens is scarcely one per cent. higher
than year ago, although wool is more than
seven per cent. higher, and good many mills
are closing or reducing time.
Iron quotations average per cent lower
for the week, because OF the drop in Bessemer
at Pittsburgh to $3.50, and in gray forge to
S1o75.
Failures for the week have been 278 in the
United States, against $50 last year, and So in
Canada, against 80 last year.

fight of terrestrial stairs where dilap-

utensils had been ANONYMOUSLY aban-
doned by the cook. Then he knocked
at the second closed door which con-
frontcd him, and was almost immedi-
ately after faced by the entire house
hold.
For his coming had not been unob-
served. Everybody was there to meet
him, but nobody was there to greet
him-not at least with a kindly well
come. The several pairs of feminine
eyes focused upon him expressed vari-
Gus degrees of wrath, fear, contempt
and repulsion. The mistress of the
house was young and pretty, but her
the kindest heart in the world. But
when the tramp asked her for a bite
to eat she ordered the cook to hand out
cup of coffee, a boiled egg, left over
from the familytable, and some bread
and butter. Then she gave the cook
by a glance of warning-a tip regard
ing the silver. The forks and spoons
in that family were genuine and heir
looms, so the tramp ate his breakfast
in the primitive fashion which OBJ
tanned before knives and forks were
Invented. He seemed to have refined
instincts in table etiquette, and the
egg, which was soft boiled, rather
bothered him, until he made a bit Of

Work of the Associated Press mt the
Convention.
SYRACUSE, N. Y, June 19-The Syra-
cuse Herald says today:
THE Associated Press covered itself with
glory in its record at st. Louis during the
week. Its reports of the convention in all
it's details were superior beyond compari-
son to that of any other association, and
it sent in it's news in fine shape thus facil-
itating greatly the handling of the mass
of reports from the convention city. The
Associated Press sent over it's wires an
average of 5000 words a day on the con-
venticn since Monday, and our readers will
understand it could have been no easy
task to handle and set this mass of mate
rial In the few hours in which an after
noon journal has for the mechanical part
of its work. The Associated Press as
sisted the editors and the composing room
greatly by Its systematic and clearly cut
style OF reporting and transmission"
NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, June 1J-The
Evening Leader this afternoon, under the
caption "A Triumph" says: The Asso-
cieted Press has again demonstrated Its
distributing organization. It's report of
the ST Louis proceedings was the most
complete in detail and prompt in delivery
OF anything of like character ever ac-
complfshed In newspaper history.
Never before has a Connecticut news
paper been able to print such complete
details of great convention almost stimuli
taneously with the occurrence"
