DON's COMMERCIAL REVIEW.

Favoring Conditions but Little Improve
mont In Business-Awaiting the Result
In November-Buying, Oponiy Specula-
tive In Character, Marks tho Currant
Business Gold Imports Continuo Heavy,
with Westward Movement of Money.
New YORK. Sept 19.-R- G. Dun &
Co., in their weekly review of trade
to-day, say:
There is still no distinct improve
ment in business, although conditions
favor it. Confidence slowly rises,
speculative buying of materials for
future use continues, imports of gold
do not cease and the Bank of England
has not tried to check them by further
advance in rates, as the weight OF the
demand now falls upon France. But
an enormous business is held back un-
til the future is more clear.
Outside of speculative markets the
impression grows that certain and safe
revival may not be expected until No
vember.
In cotton, hides, wool and pig iron
buying openly speculative in character
marks the current business
Resumption of work by a good part
OF the Fall River cotton mills and ad-
vances in some kinds of goods helped
to raise the price of middling uplands
to sX cents again, though realizing
sent it down to ~ cents.
The favorite speculative estimate,
which was about 400, 600 bales in error
a year ago, alarmed many by naming
$500, 900 bales as the minimum, and
wide enough in itself to suggest doubt
and either quantity with stocks car
ried over is more than the world has
ever consumed.
The one industry showing increase
of working force is the cotton manu-
facture. restriction of output having
secured more healthy demand for some
goods. Most of mills have started or
are about to start, though the uncer-
tainty of the cotton markets embar-
rasses prices. Prices of staple goods
have advanced SO generally that the
average of representative quotations
is ST. per cent higher than the first
week of August.
No such improvement is seen in
woolens, but the speculative buying
of wool, nearly all at Boston, has
raised sales to 17,775, 800 pounds for
the past three weeks, against II, ,133,- :
40 last year, and "a, 572, 400 in 1892.
The iron and steel manufacture is
still waiting for business with nearly
half its producing capacity idle. but
hopefulness and the speculative buy
ing of pig iron sustain prices.
Gold imports continue, over s5,O00,.
600 having been ordered, making $780,
3s5, 900 in all, of which about S24, ,S9O,'
600 has arrived. The interior move
ment draws Off the money about rs
fast as it comes, "a, CSC, 900 having gone
westward this week. The New Or.
leans difficulties have passed, but the
northwest is making large drafts. Re-
cent heavy failures increase the eau
tion of banks, and while more CONNER
cial paper is offered, the ruling rate OF
eight per cent. greatly retards in
crease in business.
The failures for the week have beer
317 in the United States against 81;
last year and 80 in Canada, against 81
last year.

that Of transferring them from place to
place. Probably not many young folks
know just how this is accomplished
Take, for instance the case of two
beautiful Bengal tiger cubs received by
a dealer which he wished to put into
the cage they were to inhabit. These
cubs were old enough to be dangerous.
The boxes that tigers and lions come
in are not very big-just big enough to
allow the inmates to lie comfortably.
This, besides saving freight, prevents
the animal from using full strength,
and perhaps in case Of fright or frenzy
bursting the box. Well, the box with
the tiger cubs was placed in front of
and partly in the open cage. A sliding
door in the box was then lifted, and the
cubs darted forward at the meat that
was lying in the far corner Of the cage
to tempt them. Meanwhile the box was
quickly withdrawn and the barred gate
of the cage as quickly shut --
1t is easy enough, however, to trans.
fer an animal from confined box to
large cage. He is going then from cap
tivity to comparative liberty. It is not
SO easy-indeed it is very difficult-to
get him to go through the reverse proc
ess, to walk from large cage into
box. II there be time he can always be
made to do it quietly enough. Give him
no food in the large cage, but put it in
the box. He may, even so, hold out for
days. Hunger. however, will prove in
the end stronger than his fears, and he
will,'with a-growl, make a dash for
the meat, when the trap will be closed
against him. ..-..-......-
But it isn't always possible to wait
for hunger to make him submit Per
haps the animal is wanted tomorrow
and the dealer has got the order only
today and must catch the train with
him ut A o'clock in the afternoon. What
is to be done now?
Here mans superior intelligence as
serts itself. 1t is fear that prevents the
animal from entering the box, and this
fear must be overcome by greater fear.
This is an easy matter to the animal
dealer, with his knowledge Of animals
He simply sets fire to little bundle of
dry straw in the cage. This is enough
the animals fear Of fire makes him fly
through any outlet Of escape

WALKED TO THE REUNION.
An Old Soldier Footed Tt 100 Miles to
Be Here.

In a tent in the west portion of Camp
Miles near the Taylor street gate can
be found an old soldier in the neighbOr-
hood of so years of age who walked to
Topeka to attend the reunion from Clay
Center, a distance of over 100 miles. His
name is J. A. Hunkenberry, and he
was a soldier in the 10Th corps, Thirty
third Illinois infantry.
Away last spring when the Topeka
reunion was first decided upon, Hauk-
enberry made up his mind to attend
and commenced to save what little he
could from his pension money to pay
the fare of himself and wife,
from Clay Center to Topeka. His
pension is small, however, and last
week when he came to count up his
store after months of saving he found
that the amount would barely purchase
a ticket for his wife. There was there
fore no other way left for him to do but
walk to Topeka.
This he decided to o,and in company
with q small colOred boy he started for
Topeka ten days ago, and arrived here
yesterday morning. The two tramped
during the greater portion of the day
and at night stopped at farm houses
They were generally assigned quarters
in the hay loft.
Mrs. Haukenberry arrived today by
rail with a party of friends also from
Clay Center. They are: Mr.. and Mrs.
