Judge Powers, who to-day represents

as lawyer and judge of the Supreme
court of Vermont.
He is fine type of the careful,
learned, New England lawyer.
Though but Sc years of age, he was
a member of the Vermont Legislature
a third OF a century ago, and again
in 1874, when he was Speaker of the
House. He has been State censor, a
member of the Constitutional conven-
ton and of the State Senate. In 1874
he became judge of the Supreme court
of Vermont, and remained on the
bench until 1890, when he took his
seat in Congress. Judge Powers pre-
sided at many of the most notable
trials in the history Of the State, and
is the author of many of the most inn

BY far the best use that any tired

BRADSTREET's REVIEW.

New York, April 17.-Fayorable wea-
Their, except in some Northwestern
States, has stimulated demand for sea-
sonable merchandise, notably light
summer clothing. On the whole, the
week presents a gain. This is not 50
much apparent at Eastern centres, ex-
cept Baltimore and Pittsburg, as in the
central Mississippi rivervalley. At some
Northwestern cities the movement OF
merchandise has declined, but at \
number in the East it is unchanged,
while Southern cities, in most instaii-
ces, report business quiet and in others
less favorable.
There lis a better demand for cotton
machinery to go South. Eastern cotton
Overs are buster, and there is a demand
tor hardware, machinery and locomo-
tiyes. Increased volume of business is
most conspicuous West, at st. Louis,
Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha, Milwau-
kee, and Memphis. Less gain is shown
on the Pacific coast, except in export
lines, shipment of lumber from Port
land and San Francisc9 being conspic-
uous. Tacoma continues TO send -four,
lumber and cotton across the Pacific
and to South Africa.

WEEKLY REVIEW or TRADE.
Improvement Everywhere IN Retail
Buying.

New York. April 1f.--R, q. Dun q
Co.'S Weekly Review Of Trade, which
issues tomorrow, will say:
The sudden change, from sleighing
to midsummer heat, with fair skies in
most cities, has tested the prevalent
idea that good weather only was need
ed to bring general improvement of
business. Everywhere there has been
more retail buying, and in some
branches better demand at wholesale
and at the works has resulted, but not
as vet in most lines There is no abate-
ment of the almost universal disposi-
ton to deal with unusual conserva-
tism and to anticipate future wants
and this has been especially conspicu-
Gus where combinations have been
formed or prices advanced. The COM
paratiye infrequency of serious fail
ures, with money less disturbed since
gold exports began than might have
been expected, helps to give encourage
mcnt but does not kindle speculative
fires; that such Improvement as APP
pears is mainly Of a healthy sort.
TO many interested in iron ore ana
coke, steel billets, Bessemer pig and
various forms of steel, it may be dis
appointing that the forming of COM
binations and fixing of prices have
not started again the rush TO buy ahead
of needs, '~hich made last year so me
morable.
But it is not easy to forget the lesson
which the past year taught. lnsteads
of increasing, purchases have, on the
whole, rather slackened, though q
little better in tank plates at the east
and sheets at Chicago.
Somewhat more demand for staple
cotton have been aroused by bargain
prices, but the closing of many mills
for time is urged as necessary and
one Of the largest and oldest mills, the
Lawrence, abandons production OF
heavy goods and turns to hosiery.
Wheat rose about cents last week,
met some reaction, but is shade
higher than week ago. Later ae-
counts are more promising as to winter
wheat. and Western receipts IN two
weeks of April are 3,S38,502 bushels,
against 2,234,30 last year, while At
lantic exports for the same weeks have
been only 2,301,9 17 bushels, flour in
Guided. against 3,71s,Ss8 last year. The
small exports SO late in the season and
Western receipts proving that the yield
last year much exceeded any estimates,
have left little confidence in predictions
of scarcity. After remaining unchang-
ed for many days, rumors either way
having no effect, cotton rose a sixteenth
on Thursday. Heavy commercial and
mill stocks hinder most buyers, ana
possibilities of injury to the coming
crop retard sellers at current prices.
Failures for the past week have been
223 in the United States, against 241
last year, and SO in Canada, against 81
last year.

RAMBLING THOUGHTS
BY LEONARD FOWLER

Crowds are always interesting. The
broad streets ON lowing withs their
stream of hulna are to me the ar
teries of ciViliza> o.. Or, mayhap, they
resemble the tides of the ocean running
up the sandy beach. The light and the
laughter is there, but under it all is the
undertow of sorrow and sadness and
pain. A common impulse impels it in
common direction but each particle and
atom moves in a diverging path. Each
one is filled with his own purpose, in
tent upon his own efforts, giving no
heed to nor having no thought for the
Wayfarer, spectator nor each other. 1t
is as If they were shpwrecked upon
some surging main and the small boats
insufficient to accommodate all. Fight
ing, striving and toiling, they. while at
attempting to gain their own ends spend
half their time and energy beating back
their fellow toilerS. 1t is story COM
mentary upon the self-confidence of
Christianized humanity. Surely there is
room for all. The bright sunshine, the
green trees, the gorgeous flowers, the
birds and the tapping, singing waves
of the placid, blue. old ocean were sure

ion because there is so much of each

SIGNS OF THE TIMES

In the ancient times the people be-
licVed that the stars in their courses
governed, or had influence over, all the
affairs of mankind; consequently their
wise men or priests were consulted on
all important occasions, even in nation
al aHaiiS, such as crOWning of kings
etc.
Why should not humanity listen to
the same oracle at present, and then
pass judgment as to whether it .is true
or false?
April 21st the earth enters the zoadi-
cal sign scorpio, which is expressive
of malignant force upon this planet,
especially as the planet Saturn is il
the same sign and is ruler of the pro-
ceedings of this period.
On the above date we will find the

be inclined to say much, but will use
physical force at the least provoca-
tion.
Highly nervous persons should be
careful during this period and not get
excited, but try and keep control of
themselves; keep cool.
Business may be disturbed by the acts
of the malcontents, but aside from this
we may look for more than usual ac-
tivity in wholesale and retail lines.
Spectators will make deals without
reason or Judgment. which will affect
the market and cause great fluctua-
tions.
Children born during this period will

Silver Monometallists.

Says the Utah Republicans: A "Protec.

country is held, ounce for ounce, 100 per
cent higher than the money of the orient

our farmers and manufacturers from a
competition which they are helpless to

that our silver is held 100 per cent higher
than the value of.the metal contained in
It by its practical convertibility into dol

can save our farmers and manufacturers
is to let the silver dollar fall one.haIf to its

be Wcrth just as much as it ia now, and the
dollars of silver would be worth only half
