NRw York, Jan. 1l.--R. g. Dun &
Co.. Weekly Review Of Trade. issued
today SAYS: The new year begins with
such uncertainty that business is some.
what retarded. The proposed sale OF
bonds offers ground for confidence in
the future, but no one is able to de.
termine what its earliest effects may
be in the money market, and for the
hms II is cause of hesitation more
Nhan hopefulness. Speculation in prod.
uots has not been active.
Wheat is about | cent higher, and
corn the same, without distinct reason
In either case, for the government re.
port, tardily conforming to commercial
estimates OF some months ago. did not
command great confidence. Wheat re.
eeipts at western points were almost
double last years 2,5O5, 702 against
l,3O5,704 last year, but Atlantic ex.
ports were little larger than last year,
hour included, 1887, 936 bushels, against
2,0l0, 756 a year ago. Corn receipts are
about a quarter larger than last year,
while Atlantic exports are about four
times as large.
The industrial situation has not ma.
terially changed. There is much hesi.
advance in Bessemer pig because of the
expectation that Connellsville coke and
lake ore will both be dearer, and yet
finished products of iron and steel are
on the whole quoted little lower and
the nail association is still in session to
determine whether it will abandon the
effort TO maintain fixed price.
That branch of business is extremely
slow, nothing is doing in rails, and
while there is q rather better demand
for sheets and plates, and several good
orders are reported for structural
works, angles are quoted a shade lower.
Everything turns on the contracts for
ore. which are still unsettled, but the
great excess in production of pig iron
over the present demand is no longer
denied, and it is expe cted that quite a
number Of the furnaces will presently
discontinue production. Lower prices
for Alabama iron renew competition
with eastern furnaces.
Sales of wool are large, 5000, 300
pounds for the week, against ., ,238,7
last year, although large part of the
purchases is of a speculative character,
based upon belief that prices may be
advanced if the new tariff bill goes
into effect. The opening of wooden
goods shows further tendency toward
lower prices, in spite of the prevalent
belief that higher prices would be real,
ized before long if the revenue bill
which passed the house should become
u law.
Failures for the we X haye been 43l

year, and 63 in Canada against % last

Quite funny are some of the expert
ences narrated by persons returning
from the Atlanta exposition. A local
newspaper man, who got back from the
south on Monday tells this one on him
self. Upon arriving at Atlanta he char
tered a hack, and with that fine scorn
of pecuniary considerations character
istic of his profession, ordered the
driver convey him to the "best hotel
in town." Entering the really gor-
geous caravansary, he dropped his grip
before the desk, held a pen poised above
the register and inquired: What kind
of a room can you give me and how
much?" The clerk, typical southern
sr, with sallow complexion, dropping
mustache and long goatee, replied in an
Indifferent sort of tone: "Well, sub,
All ken give yo' a fo'th flo room foh
TO- dollahs a day, suh." "Fo'th flo foh
70 dollars" repeated the visitor face
iously mimicking the soft, southern ac-
cent, then l presume you can give me
first floor room for one dollar, eh?"
Moo, suh," drawled the naughty
Georgian; "Ah koin't give yo' fust flo'
room foh one dollah, sub; but All ken
give yo' a room without any flo at all
roh nothin', sub, Jest go down thar to
the balm and inqul' foh the mewel
oahtments." The Philadelphian made
10 further attempt to have fun with the
natives during his stay in Atlanta

When we read the parable OF the devi
entering into the swine and the swine
at once rushing to their destruction II
the sea, we recognize a certain likeness
to the actions Of bicycle when 1t gett
man at its mercy. A bike will behave
beautifully on level ground, but get Il
on the top Of a long and unknown hill
and then trouble begins. l don't know
whether IL Is because of fellow feeling
with hogs or not, but the moment
am on a bicycle going down a hill
think Of the swine that rushed down tC
the sea.
1t would be just as easy for tire tc
become punctured when you are neal
home as when you are far away, but
never knew that to happen. The frs
time a man gets his pneumatic tire
punctured is a very serious occasion
with him. l suppose that most persons
when taking on a bicycle, have beer
shown by some kind friend Just how
easy 1t is to slip the pneumatic tire over
the wheel rim and mend a puncturC
in the inner tube. In my back yard o
friend took off the tire, extracted the

pumped 1t up, and there 1t was. My
friend claimed that he could mend o
puncture and have everything in going
order again in three minutes by the
watch, and have no doubt he spoke
the truth, but l am free to confess that
l had to meet with real puncture

chine inside Of six weeks.

In touring around l have fancy for
leaving the main travelled roads and
journeying along unfrequented lanes

ment from MoGough, the Dannemora
prisoner who alleges that it was he, and
not Bat Shea, who shot Robert Ross

This beinl the case it is probable that
