New York, Sept. 26.-R. q. Dunn &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says to-
day:
A very moderate and yet distinct i'm
PfoVement is seen, no longer in the buy
ing of materials, which continues and
stiffens prices. but also in orders for pro-
ducts of some industries, in money mar
kets and in exports of staples. 1t Is as
YET little more h a step toward bet
ter things. but already has started some
important works n prompted a few
considerable contracts. Continuing ar
rivals of gold have raised the treasury
reserve above S125, 00o. 900. strengthened
the banks and relaxed the stringency in
commercial loans. so that at about L
per cent lower rates more business was
done h in three previous weeks.
me movemnt of crops continues large,
and purchases for export have advanced
prices or prevented a depression. While
the grain in working force is not great.
1t seems clear hat for the first time in
many months there is some net gain.
An important change is the general
in produce markets, especially
In wheat, which rose sharply on Thurs
day and Friday, closing 5A cents for
the week. with much buying, apparently
on foreign account. Reports OF crops
abroad We're supposed to be the chief
cause, as visible supplies in his country
increased largely, but for the first time
since July l western receipts fell below
those of the same week last year.
Atlantic exports, -four included as
wheat, We're for the week a little more
than a year ago, for September 2,O0O,-
600 more, and 81, S07, $50 bushels since
July, against 14,12s.sOS last year. If
there should come an unusual foreign
demand it would make a great differ
ence with future business.
Cotton advanced al eighth a week
ago., but lost three-sixteenths, and with

Stunning, the belated demand for heavy
goods constituting most of the gain Wis

that o goods will be wanted when
the future is more clear.
Finished products of iron meet more
inquiry and the placing of contracts for
$4,000 tons of steel for three new battle
ships, for n large building and for
several bridges, explains the starting OF

Exports of $4,000 tons of rails this
year at prices far below those current

STRANGE SCENES IN rlMeucroc.
The Town Scarcely Recognizable Under
French Domination.

A French officer at Timbuctoo, in q
letter communicated 10 the Temps, de-
scribes that town as hardly recogniza-
BILE now that there is the hustle Of SOL
diery there and the sound of trumpets,
with az embattled fort and a gate closed
every night. There is also u mun;ci-
patty, besides police commissaries and
%scavergers, SO that promenades in the
streets Mt night involve no unpleasant
ness. In the market a troop Of Tuareg
boys, their fathers killed and themselves
picked up in reconnaissance, address
you in a smattering OF French. The
market. with its straw sheds and its
odor of meat and rotten fish, is very
poorly supplied. The Oldest mosque
has within the Enclosure acacias dotted
with hideous black storks. A labyrinth
of narrow streets leads to the massive
Tower of Sancore, the summit of which
serves as n perch for all the pigeons of
the district: In spite of its three
mosques and of its being a holy city,
religion has very little hold on the peo-
pie. Timbuctoo, in fact, is merely y
vast exchange where salt, calicocs and
honey arc given for slaves.
Before the arrival of the French
Tuaregs on horseback would often ar
rive ut night before n merchants shop
and stick their lances in his door, where's
upon he was GLAD, to offer them his best
goods as blackmail. Many doors still
bear these lance marks. The Tuaregs
still occasionally carry off slaves work

The Empress and Mrs. Potter.

A pathetic and never-to-be-forgotton
inaident occurred to me while stopping
at Cowes, the great English yachting
center, ia the summer of 1886, writes

brilliant party, conspicuous among
whom were the king of Greece, the
crown prince of Austria and king of
Portugal and lastly the sad-eved but
still beautiful Eugene, empress OF the
French.
After lunch and during the idle hour
before tea was served the princess ask
