TIE SEASON OF LENT

While the season of Lent has uniform
been marked by the commemoration of the
closing events Of the earthly life OF Christ
His last talk with His disciples, His betrayal
by Judas, His agony in the garden, His ar
rest by the servants of the high priest, His
trial before PLATE, and the last scenes OF His
life, the suffering upon the cross and His
final hours before death, have always been
the theme of meditation among Christian
step by step, until the hour when Christ is
supposed to have expired upon the cross,
which was about O'Clock in the afternoon
of Friday.
Saturday, TO morrow, is kept in remem-
brance OF His temporary burial by Nico
demus, and those who keep Holy Week nd
in the reading OF the gospels, which recount
our Lords sutferings, a wonderful meaning
and reality that becomes year by year
lreighted with an ever varying message.
Holy Week is observed with great solem
nifty in the Catholic and Episcopal churches,
and Is to some extent kept as a period oil
fasting and prayer by many other Christ
ians. TO day, Good Friday, the solemn
rites eliminate, and TO morrow, Saturday
has also recei we'd the name of Holy Satur
day. Indeed each day of the week has re.
ceived a special name from some event IN
the life of our Lord.

DuN's TRADE REVIEW.

llc Conndence without AnyssAppafcnt
Of Commodltles - . whole at the Low-
est Average Ever Known.
NEw YoRK, Feb. 22.-Dun & Co. IN
their weekly review of trade this
morning say:
Liabilities in failures during the
first two weeks of February were
$7.6S0, 393, against s., $50, ,9S6 last year.
Manufacturing liabilities were %, 1884,
966. against 81, SOC, ,al9 last year. while
trading were 3,S42, ,O53, against q, ,353,-
O19 last year. Failures for the week
have been 2SO in the United States
against 3Os last year, and ee in Canada
against s6 last year.
The restoration of the treasury re-
serve has been effected with remark
ably little monetary disturbance. The
rapid rise in the price Of bonds
strengthens public confidence. Prompt
action in the house on the silver bill
has helped to increase foreign conf
dence in American securities. In no
complete branch of business is there
pand. Prices of commodities as q
ever known, though only one-half of
one per cent. below the average of
September 3, 1895.
textile goods and iron products have
declined much since that date, and
meats are also lower.
Receipts of wheat continue heavy and
depress prices, February delivery to
72z, although what is nominally called
a cash price is ~ cents higher. Corn
is one cent lower for cash, western re-
ceipts having been large. Cotton
again declined o quarter cent, with large
realizing, reported sales aggregating
a million bales for the week. Specula-
tive estimates are persistently re-
peated, but receipts do not favor them,
nor is actuaal consumption encourag-
ing as declining prices of goods show.
In almost all manufactured products
decline continues, tthough in some
classes quotations are SO irregular that
the change cannot be accurately meas
ured. Bessemer pig iron and grey
forged are a shade lower at Pittsburgh,
and structural beams and products are
comparatively small, and some fur
naces in that region have been banked.
Textile manufacturers fail as yet to
meet the demand expected and prices
are generally weak, open reductions
averaging two per cent. for cotton
goods, and since January /, about
nine per cent. Dress goods and blank
cts are in fair demand, but mems WOOL
ems are inactive, and actual transac-
tions are in many cases five to ten
cents below open quotations. Sales Of
wool for the week were 80 per cent.
smaller than last year. Prices do not
decline, as the foreign market remains
strong.
The volume of domestic trade re-
fected by clearings is 33.7 per cent. {
larger than last year. Railroad earn
ings in February thus far are 1876 per
cent. larger than last year. Stocks
weakened until Thursday, but then
advanced and closed about eighteen
cents per share higher for railroads.
Exports of products in two weeks of
February have been seven per cent.
larger than last year, with prospects
of increase in grain, though cotton
bills are growing fewer. The imports
no longer show the increase formerly
observed, but for two weeks have been
1873 per cent. larger than last year.
