ne Condition Of made

Dun's Trade Review says.
Business has been favored by
seasonable weather, and the dis
tribution Of products has made fair
progress, not yet reducing retail or
wholesale stocks far enough, bow
ever, to materially improve ~ po-
sition Of industries. Those stocks
have apparently been larner ever
since the fever Of buying Lass fan,
and the actual buying Of consump-
ton smaller, than has been Qener-
ally realized. Hence all the great
industries are embarrassed By lack
Of adequate demand, and in some
cases the accumulation Of goods in
anticipation Of demand has gone
about as far as it can.
Cotton goods were bought less
freely last week, and the Nofshern
mills have taken scarcely any cot
ton this month. The feeling is
more hopeful because the retail
trade is better. The situatioa in
wooden goods does not improve,
though women's dress goods are
selling fairly, especially sines. IN
voice prices Of some French Gods
were advanced, but the mills for
mems wear, hosiery and carpets
are rapidly decreasing production.
The large orders taken for boots
and shoes when prices were reduced
to last years lowest, more than a
month ago, result in shipments
nearly equal to last years, in April
thus far 5 per cent. less. But new
orders are not now coming freely
except for immediate delivery to
fill out broken stocks.
Neither pig iron nor manufac-
tured products have improved in
demand as yet, though further
combinations have raised TN llfices
of rods, of bar iron to 100, Eh a
steel bars sell at LIS, and nails are
to be 15c. higher after May I.
Makers of tin plates have agreed
to maintain prices, $3.50 being still
quoted for Bessemer coke, full
weight.
The results of an inquiry regard
ing loans of New York banks are
gwen with some detail, and show a
decrease in commercial loans from
about n per cent. of the whole
year ago to GA per cent, which
many regard as evidence that the
accumulation of extended paper has
been lessened by liquidation, as the
volume of business seems larger
than year ago.

ANlce Question Of Law.

A wealthy German, intent upon
a days outing. wanted to hire a
horse Dealers best horse and trap,
but not knowing his man, the horse
dealer demurred at trusting them in
his hands. Determined to have his

 The Queerest Town. |.

An exchange says: 1.-The most re markable city in the world is Fish City, Michigan. In way it suggests the tented towns of the Arabs of the desert. It may be folded and carried away i'll a night. 1t is not built on land, nor yet is it 8 city of boats. It has no existence in summer, yet in winter it is a,teeming, thriving place. The ice of the Saginaw bay is the town site. The same sheltered cave is used every season. As soon as the bay is frozen over the city springs into existence. The houses are built of rough pine boards, well chinked and protected from the winter blasts. The population varies from year to year. In 1S93-4 it was 5000, and in 1894-5 it sprang up to 5000. This year there were about 5000 souls sheltered in the pine cabins of. Fish City, every one of whom is engaged in the catching, cleaning and pack ing of lake trout for the market. A mayor is elected for the season, who has the support of the town council. There is a fire engine, a Roman Cath ollie chapel and a union meeting house and the necessary stores and liquor shops for the accommodation of busy population.

 Trial.

We confess to be striving to in- crease our business and to make an honored and respectable reputation for ourselves by obtaining the patronage of the people of Pine Bluff. Once such a patronage gained, to prove worthy of their friendship by honest, careful and courteous attention and devotion to their in- terest.
 Are we not entitled to as good treatment, at least as the murderer. All we ask is @ fair trial from the people, but in that trial we shall strive to prove worthy of your patronage and friendship.
 We are not speaking against others, but merely for ourselves when saying that we use absolutely pure drugs, correctly compounded, and buy from first hands, thereby always have our goods fresh. a big item in the drug business. Try us and render your verdict.
