They then crossed the mainland to Brook

GENERAL CONDITION OF TRADE.
NO IMPORTANT CHANGE DURING

Returns of Failures Disappointing
Several of Magnitude Swell the
- - Aggregated Liabilities.

NEW YORK, March 2S.-R. G Dun
& Co. say, in their weekly review of
trade:
The returns of failures are somewhat
disappointing. Several of magnitude
were mentioned a week ago. and they
have swelled the aggregate of defaulted
liabilities for three weeks of March to
S12. 1863 GA, against S11 ,271, ,121 last
year. A heavy failure in Texas will
also swell the aggregate of returns for
the past week, which includes 2o9 in the
United States, against 234 last year.
and SO in Canada, against ~ last year
- No. Important change has occurred
in the general condition of business dur
ing the week, and if trade in some re-
spects looks worse, in other respects it
seems better. There have been some
what less favorable features in the dry
goods market, but in iron and steel con-
ditions are slightly improved, and in
boots and shoes considerably more
hopeful.
Foreign trade is a little more salts
factory. In general the course of do
| mestic prints seems to favor the mar
keting of staples abroad
Wheat has gained about point, but
corn and cotton remain unchanged
Cotton had a lively rise with the cover
ing of short sellers, but began to de-
cline. again a week ago, and has been
tagging ever since.
In the dry goods market the last indi-
| cations do not warrant expectations
that the mills viii continue full pro-
l'ducti0n throughout the season.
The demand, for women's dress goods
is the best feature of the woolen mar
kets. The sales of woods have fallen to
less than half an ordinary weeks full
| consumption, amounting last week to
only 1926, 750 pounds at the chief mar
kets. A striking feature this week has
been sale of $50 900 pounds of Ameri-
can wool for shipment to England
The iron and steel markets have dis
closed a similar feature, for a little Ala
bama pig has been sold for export
There has been a little more activity in
steel this week, and the Carnegie works
have sold 10000 steel rails to Japan,
but in the main the market is about as
inactive and insufficient as it has been
There has been no trading worth the
name in railroad stocks during the past
week, and scarcely any in the indus
trials, so that fluctuations in the prices
are scarcely worthy note. The earn
ings of the railroads have been rather
| less promising than in previous months,
averaging only 3.4 per cent. better than
last March thus far, and the tonnage

The other day Hibernian son of toll
was strolling in his working clothes up
Twenty street, and caught by
the glitter of the Hoffman House Mu-
scum, whose attractions he had
heard, attempted to enter, but was
stopped by the bouncer on guard at the
door, who said it was place for ''gen-
tlemen." Paddy was little nettled at
this rebuff, but said:
All right, me hearty, Ill get in, any
way" and then went off. In a couple
cf hours he returned, shaven and shorn
and decked out in his Sunday clothes,
and sailed by the gentleman at the door
with smile of triumph He looked at
all the curios, saw the wheels go round,
was shocked at the nymphs, and did the

to the bar and called for a cocktail,
The bracing beverage was put up for
him, and after drinking it with gusto ne
laid down 20 cents, which the barkeeper
passed over to the cashier and went on
with his polishing operations, while his
customer hung around and appeared to
be waiting for something.
After the pause the fluid dispenser
said: "An'thin' else?"

No change; we charge 20 cents for

gether impervious to public opinion,
there are not many preachers or lay
men who feel called upon further to
suffer vicariously for the sins of the
doctor. Moreover, personal distress
aside, the people of the churches have
been forced to open their eyes to the
fact that the preposterous kindness
shown Brown has had a deplorable
tendency to bring conventional piety
into contempt Morals and common
sense, it is seen, have claims that are
not safely to be ignored for an aff1ict-
ed brothers sake. There is very good
prospect that Brown will be deposed
from the ministry by the conference,

The <acqutttai of Mrs. Davidson be-
cause the Rev. DR. Brown was afraid
to prosecute her for blackmailing him
afraid to take the chances of cross
examination on his character and
amours in a secular court-has raised
another graceless, all-around laugh. The
number of times that Brother Brown
has been forced to show his hand is so
great that the capacity for taking him
and his lodgings with gravity has ex-
hausted itself. The cheers which We're
given the old woman when she left the
courtroom expressed the feeling of the
town-the same feeling that was mani
tested when Sarah Althea Hill won her
case in Judge Sullivans court Few
cared a great deal whether she deserved
to win or not, but nearly everybody was
glad that. Senator Sharon, being rich
and sinful, had lost Very likely Mrs.
Davidsen's proper place is in San
Quentin, but the instinct of fair play
would be offended if anybody involved
in the Brown mess should be sent to
jail and Brown himself left at liberty.
1t isn't good logic, but it is human
nature. The effrontery of the hardy
doctor in keeping Miss Overman in his
house and Mrs. Tunnel in hiding sup
ported by his money, while the church
trial was on, he more than matched by
sending the young woman off to join
the other in Lower California, so that
they might not be in the way of sub
penas when the Davidson case should
be called The church council might
have stood it, but a secular jury is a
different thing. 1t would have taken
the view, inevitably, that the pair had
q just objection to testifying in a tri-
bunal which has penalties for perjury.
But it is to be regretted that the police
permitted the OverInan woman to slip
out of the jurisdiction Of the court and
that the doctors faith in his luck was
not strong enough to induce him to take
the chances. A longing to have Miss
Overman repeat in court that story on
