SHOWS LILLE GAIN.
The Tendency in Industrial and CONNER
cial Lines Not Enconraeinr

clal Lines Not Encouraging.
New York. March PR. G. Dun 81
&c. in their weekly review of trade say:
Movement toward better things is still
the exception. There is better business in
shoes and SmaH industries, and there has
been a squeezing of short sellers in cotton.
but the general tendency of industries and
prices is not encouraging, and those who
were most hopeful a month ago are still
waiting, not so hopefully, for the expected
recovery. DISTINCTIONS to recovery are not
to be sought primarily in the investment
or the money market, but in the Industrial
reaction after the unnatural expansion of
demand and prices last year. 1t is a strik-
ing fact that the only great industry which
is now rapidly gaining in business is the
one in which prices have been generally
cut down to last years lowest figures, and
the boot and shoe makers had reason for
hesitation in prices of leather. which still
average six per cent. higher than a year
ago, though hides are 10 per cent lower
having again declined the past week about
three per cent. II the manufacturers get
narrow profits or none. they are at least

the works in operation

pointing. When the improvement in in

Fellow Miners to the Rescue.
When the news reached the Rochester
mines, which are three miles from the

OWNED that the services of good, prac-
teal men would be wanted under the
ground, and about 40 at once came out
and started to the shaft. Conveyances
were found for some ahd others went
as far as they could in the street cars
and walked the remainder of the way.
Superintendent Reed, of the Rochester
mines, followed, and as soon as he ar
rived at the shaft went below with a
cage full of his own men. The air was
so bad below that the men, who went

OUR NATIONS GUEST
H HUNG CHANG ENTERTAINED IN
THIS COUNTRY.
the BilIs-lnterview with the
Ambassadors.

Washington, Aug. 9.-Although no otii-
cial steps have been taken towards the re-
ception of the illustrious Chinese states
man, LII Hung Chang, who is expected to
arrive in the United States during the
latter part of the present month, the
matter has already received the atten-
lion of the state department. 1t is I'M
fortunate that the prospective visit of
the Chinese premier was not known car
ly enough to enable President Cleveland
to apply to congress for an appropria-
ton of funds to defray the expense of en-
tertaining the illustrious guest in sui.a-
bic fashion. or at least in such manner
as VIII not be in objectionable contrast
with the program and display of hospital
ity made by the European governments.
Ii Hung Chang comes not as an indivli-
ual, but an ambassador extraordinary.
There win be no escape possible for our
national authorities, and they must do
the best they can with the means az hand.
This means recourse to the extraordinary
fund of the state department. and while
this is not in flourishing condition, new
er having exceeded $4,000 in latter years,
| doubtless the officials would feel author
lied to go beyond the limit in the pecu-
| liar conditions that exist, and rely upon
congress at the next session TO defray any
bills incurred in excess of the appropria-
| ton.
| AS Ii comes bearing a personal letter
| from the emperor of China TO President
| Cleveland it is not clearly to be seen
| how the latter can avoid the necessity for
| a trip to Washington to meet the am
| bassador in person, though this would in
| terfere with his summer plans. and in
wolves a premature opening of the White
| house. which is now closed in all por-
tions save the Offices 1t is just possible
that Secretary Olney may serve as The
| representative of the president on this
| occasion, and some color is lent to this
belief by the fact that the secretary OF
state is known to have arranged to com,
to Washington about the date now Sc
for the arrival of Ii Hung Chang.
If the precedents in such cases are fol
lowed, some officer of the army or navy
or perhaps a representative of each vii
be detailed to meet the nations guest II
| New York, and devote himself to insurini
the comfort of LII Hung Chang while II
the United States travel with him b.
rail and act as Intermediary between hin
and the many visitors who will wish I
