As Seen BY Dun.

New York, Dec 1l-R. G. Dunn &
Co, in their weekly review of trade
tomorrow, will say:
The approach of the holidays and
doubt about the action Of congress,
put further improvements off until the
new year While industries have
gained in working forces, they are
trying to clear away embarrassments
which restrict them. Speculation has
been hating and timid. There is no
sober-minded fear of foreign difhculty'
but some have succeeded in imagining
that congress might so so far beyond
the presidents message regarding
Cuba as TO embroil this country with
Spain.
Money is in abundant supply, lend
ing in London continuous, and there
is nothing to cause less activity in
general business except that the rush
of orders deferred until after election
have not been continued
The volume of business shown by
clearings has been for the week So per
cent smaller than last year.
The wheat market was weakened
with gloomy news from other countries
and large western receipts, though
only 1851. 374 bushels against 6,003. 4O4
bushels last year. Disappointment
about the break in prices may help to
increase receipts. Atlantic exports
were but 2,772,571 bushels included, and
for two weeks have been but 4,74S, us
bushels against 4,172, AS last year Pa
cific dispatches show that exports con-
tinue very heavy and about 100000 tons
more are available from California.
The market has declined nc. and the
decrease in demand for flour with
high rail rates has closed nearly all
the Superior, Duluth and many of the
other northwestern mills.
Cotton has declined 3-16 in spite of
all the stories that the crop has been
nearly marketed and continues to
come forward steadily. With over s.
OO0. 900 bales in sight, there are esti-
mates based on government reports
that the yield is $4,000 bales or less,
which would leave but 100000 to
come forward in eight months and
three weeks.
Sales of wool in two weeks. 14,37S,
900 pounds, against II .999, 200 last year
are this year largely between traders,
as the mills find at present little en-
enlargement TO buy. and London sales
are a shade weaker. Quotations are
not changed, though more frequent
concessions are reported.
Failures for the week have been $50
in the United States against S3S last
year and 43 in Canada against "a last
year.

The time honored jokes in the funny
papers about people who buy stamps in
drug store and want them wrapped
up and delivered may be old TO the
average reader. but they are new every
day TO the drug dispensers. Such ri
diculous. things are everyday occur
rences.
well-known druggist tells Of an in
stance when he was night clerk. About
one morning vigorous ring at the
night bell reused him from peaceful
slumbers. He came down, wearing one
shoe. such miscellaneous clothing as he
could pick up in hurry and a decided
ly cross appearance. At the door was
a nicely dressed lady. Would he kind
ly sell her stamp? She had an i'm
pOrtant letter which she must mail
and as she also desired to catch the
$50 train she feared she would forget
1t. The stamp was sold to her, and
then very sweetly and innocently she
inquired if he would not, since she was
in such hurry, walk to the corner
and mail the letter for her AS he had
worn only one shoe down, he regret
fully declined the honor.
Inc soda dispenser in the drug store
usually sees and enjoys more peculiari-
ties than any of the drug clerks from
the fact that he is not bothered with
any OF their responsibilities. His
greatest trouble is in deciding whose
money he shall take in case of young
ladies who drink soda together If it
were men, each would be anxious TO
pay for the beverages. In the case of
young ladies. however. each is appar-
emily anxious not TO pay for the drink
Then they argue with each other on
about this line: NO, let me pay" I
will not. l think I should" oh. I'll
be awful angry if you do" And all the
while. says the soda dispenser. they
are hanging on their dimes with a
death-like grip. The soda man finally
solves the problem by taking the
money of each and returning the
change TO each, making it a Cincinnati
treat"

Business Briefs.

Judge Hart was in Ogden yesterday,
and talked a little about the circum-
stances attending the resentencing of
Patrick Coughlin. During all the time
that he was in the court room. the lad
behaved in a gentlemanlike manner.
AT the time of the rehearing. CouSnlln
had not heard of the refusal Of the
board of pardons to grant a rehearinS
TO his attorneys in his behalf, and so
still had hope that the fight being made
for him might result in his sentence
being committed. He had nothing to
say except 10 protest that the time
December 15-Was too soon. Before the
resentencing, Coughlin, it is said, de-
clined to drink anything. He was pale
and quite nervous, but in the main bore
up well under the trying ordeal. Just
where the execution will take place is
kept a secret by Sheriff Dickson.

Gems of Thought.

Henry Van Dyke: We measure success
by accumulation. The measure is false.
The true measure is appreciation. He
who loves most has most.
Hamilton W. Mabie: We must lie fall
low before we can produce greatly. and
we must enrich ourselves inwardly be-
fore we can spend generously in crea-
tive work.
Mrs Humphrey Ward: No human life
would be possible if there was no forces
n and around men perpetually tending
10 repair the wounds and breaches that
h. himself makes.
Booker T. Washington: 1t is often
easier 10 send a few pennies 10 help the
poor black boy in Africa than it IS to
show the Christ-like spirit 10 the little
black boy just around the corner.

THE SAD, SAD SEA.

Whispered a little child
Why Go the pillows sigh and break,
And why are the waves so wild?"
Tho rivers run down to the sea
With all their grief. my lad.
And flood the sea with their misery
And that's why the sea is sad.
1.-The Hudson goes with Gotham's woes,
And Paris chokes the Seine;
The Danube blue, and the dark Thames
too.
All hurry to the main:
Losing the song of the running rill,
But keeping all that's bad:
They Hood the sea with their misery,
And that's why the sea is sad
