Of Trade:
Cuban reports. unusual closeress of
money in Germany, and the decision
that there will be no actioo on the
tariff at this session, have not really
changed the situation, but have been
talked about as if they might change
it. The holiday trade is generally
large, though at some points more con
fined to cheaper goods than usual, and
the influence of 40 increase iu the
working force is felt in other ways
But until the new year, the only mate
rial changes expected are such as pre-
pare for a large business next year.

appear of the utmost importance.

it to 8 81 September 10th and it has

There is something striking in the

person is forcihly impressed with the
strong resemblance he bears to the
pictures of Christ: There is the
same expression of meekness and
tenderness, the same long chestnut
brown hair falling over the shoulders,
after being parted in the middle. A
iull beard of almost the same color
as the hair, except for reddish hue,
and finally light blue eyes of a soft
and kindly expression.
His regular features bearing such
a marked resemblance to the pictures
of Christ, gives him a striking pen
sonality A soft. we'll modulated
voice with pleasing manners makes
him all the more prepossessing and
adds to the awe With which lie is re-
garded by some. Over his nine

"Divine Healer, Schrader." A sill,

The awe, which in large meas

room. The contrast is too great and
the spell is broken.

FINANCE ANT A
Eject OF the Chicago Failure on Legiti-
mhte Business Enternrlse.

"hit buslntSS Enlefnflses
New York, Aug. S.-B. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review Of trade says: The sensa-
tional collapse Of spectators at Chicago
who controlled Diamond Match and New
York Biscuit stocks, and had hoisted
them to fancy prices, with the consequent
closing Of the Chicago Stock Exchange
for a period yet indefinite, though fol-
lowed by remarkably few failures. brings
"a sudden change in monetary conditions
throughout the country. At least n month
earlier than had been expected Chicago
has drawn heavily upon its bank balances
here, and Withdrawals of other western
funds may naturally result. Europeans
also moved to sell American stocks raS .er
freely, so that the average of sixty most
active railroad stocks fell about S2.1S per
share and the average of trust stocks about
S1.SS.
The instant cooperation of moncyed in
tercsts at C~hicago@sto restrict the distur-
bance deserved praise and did much good,
but it isnot possible to avoid some shock
to public confidence and a quick tighten
ing Of eastern money markets which al
ready shuts off commercial loans almost
entirely. The collapse also increased the
caution of bankers and other lenders re-
garding loans on securities of a similar
character.
1t is important that the increase of mer-
chandise exports, $500, 900, or u per cent.
over last year for the week, and the de-
crease Of imports, 100000, or "a per cent.
still continues to limit the sum payable
abroad. In five weeks the increase of ex-
ports has been S4,SOO,O 900, or IS per cent.
and the decrease of imports $4,000 o or
Is ppr cent which bplus tN balance No.

low Jacket and Peacock Feather.
LONDON, Aug. s.-Li Hung Chang con-
tinues to be the center of marked attrac-
ton from commercial and social circles,
and the government is apparently making
every effort 60 do honor to the nations
guest. Tho famous Chinaman vas the
guest of the China association at a ban
quot at the Hotel Metropole last night. Ii
made his appearance at the banquetjng
board in his yellow jacket and peacock
feather, the well known emhlens of his
rank and of the emperor'S favor, which
were stripped from him ut the time of the
carly reverses of the Chino-Japanese war,
but were afterwards restored. The skirt
Df his dress was blue and he wore the rib
and and star of the Victorian order.
Tho fact of Lis abstemiousness has been
much remarked by those who have OBJ
served his dCmeanOr at public banquets,
and a report was circulated that he always
had an abundant rcpast prepared by his
own attendants before dining out, so as
not to be tempted to taste any strange
viands. Prince Bismarck was reported TO
have rallied his guest upon his disinclinl-
tionto cat German food, when the oriental
diplomat replied that he feared he might
take something into his mouth that would
cause him to make a WHY face, and thus
forever disgrace himself in the sight of the
world for having been guilty of discount
esy TO his host.
