NEW YORK, Sept. Ar. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade will say:
There is a distinct increase of conf
| dence; due largely to the continuing g
heavy imports of gold, which have put
| an end to money anxiety, and also to
political events, which are closely
watched, while it does not yet start
moro mills and factories than are clos
ing for want of work, it crops out in
the speculative purchases of pig iron,
wool and some other material, by ex-
perienced men, who believe that a re-
vival of business is not far off, and for
the first time in nearly two months a
slight upward turn appears in prices of
manufactured products. The gain in
confidence and in willingness to lend
and invest gives reason to hope that
the necessary replenishment of stock,
which cannot be long deferred, may be
liberal enough to stimulate fair activ-
ity in trade and industry. Wheat had
suddenly risen q week ago, but reacted
with better crop news, until Thursday,
when another advance came of l cent,
making the net decline for the week

large, 5,512, 500 bushels for this week,
against 4,550, 900 last year, making the
increase since July ! about 100000,
or SO per cent. Atlantic exports were
also large, flour included, being $685.

and since July l, 19,O73,5 bushels,
against 11,315,65O last year, gain of

Modsrn 1mprorement. in Ala.r..

In the matter of modern conven-

Electricity, however, is not altogether
new in Alaska. 1t has been used for
some time in a limited way in the
mines. Water power is abundant
everywhere, and the current is gen.
Grated on the streams and carried to
the mines by cables. For Alaska,
Juneau is live place, as the saying
is. : Two new wharves are building
just now, and the water supply, having
its source in spring near the town, is
being perfected. There is no boom, how
ever, for the reason that private capital
is repelled by the government owner

city last night, and won for their dar-
ing $3.50 in money belonging to the
pPoprietors of the place.
The games were progressing as usual
when the men, wearing masks and
each having two revolvers, entered the
back door and advanced rapidly up the
room, compelling the dealers, players
and spectators to crowd toward the
front end of the building. The tall,
slim man of the pair held the crowd at
bay, forcing them to keep up their
hands while the short. rather heavy
set robber proceeded to the faro table
and took from the drawer $325 and
some silver. Then he quickly made
his way to the crap table. Here was
piled up some $3.50 in silver, but the
man contented himself with taking
only S125. At this juncture the short
man cried out to his companion TO
"hold Bowen" Bowen was the night
manager of the place.
1t is presumed that their intention
was to rob the safe, but just then one
of the employees of the house who had
been out to supper, came running up
the stairs, making considerable noise
and this evidently frightened the rob-
bers. They quickly backed toward
the rear door, meanwhile covering the
crowd with their guns, and disap-

The Ylcerox Shocked.

NIAGARA FALLS, Sept. 6.-The
5 )ecial train bearing Ii Hung Chang
and his party arrived here today.
AT the electric power-house of the
Niagara Falls Power Company, the
distinguished visitor had an experience
with American electricity, the result
being as startling as twas unexpected.
With his usual curiosity and desire to
make personal investigation of the
machinery before him, he poked at a
switchboard with his walking stick.
The metal ferule closed the circuit
instantly, and LIS stick was violently
torn from his grasp. He was naturally
much astonished at the effect of the
sticks contac with the switchboard,
but fortunately he suffered no damage
beyond a good scare.

He Was No Sailor.

1t is pretty hard to believe how igno-
rant some people are about matters
with which they have no personal ac-
quaintance, but there are numerous in
stances to prove. A lake steamer, on
its way from Chicago to st. Joe, came
near colliding with smaller boat-so
near, in fact, that the tenders were
scraped. The boat was drawn up to
the dock, and, while the farmers were
bringing on their produce, the carpen-
ters were putting on new tenders. Two
farmers came up and looked at the boat
admiringly. '"That's the vessel that
will carry us over to Chicago" " said one
of them. Eyes, and she'll take us over
in mighty little time" said the other.
81 heard she made the trip in four hours
this morning" shell go back in less
time than that was the first farmers
response. Look at the new legs they
are putting on her."
