INDIFFERENCE AMONG WOMEN.
AS VIEWED Ply ANNA +. II. SATTERI.EE,
OF IONA-TUE PROVINCE OF WOMAN


Women who claim to have all the rights they
want says Mrs. Satterlee. cannot have given
much serious thought to the sources Of privileges
enjoyed. do they fully realize the obligations
devolving upon every individual woman. which.

strenuously denounced as strong minded women

LITERARY TASTE IN WOMEN.
MRS. JENNIE T. wANDLE. EDITOR AN
swERs THE SCOTCH PROFESSOR.


To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The Scotch professor who denies sex
any intellectual discretion In the matter Of literary
tastes by saying that women follow fads In
literature the same as they do fashions in Dress"
stated In Sundays issue OF The Tribune. must
have eaten something more than 'porrich' for
his breakfast, for his view IL a purely dyspeptic
one He certainly cannot have studied reading
women whose minds have been trained. and II
might not be Just to him TO suppose his assertion
is based on contact with uncultured women.
Perhaps this professor also had love story. and
the unwilling lady is responsible for this attack
upon the value OF our gray matter. The reason
being an unknown quantity makes defence n lit
tie difficult because do not know whether to
take the professor seriously or the reverse.
Assuming tho former II does not follow that be-
cause reads popular books that she
approves of or likes them. Nine times out OF ten
she does not. but openly compares modern litera-
ture with that OF N earlier date and as openly
regrets the deterioration I'm tone and style. But.
to keep pace with the age she must be au fat
IN it's literature even In Its fads. Often her posi-
ton In life compels her to read what she does NOT
indorse but must be conversant with In order TO
discuss 1t in.elligenty.
1t Is barely possible. too. that. no matter how
thorough her mind training failed TO fully eradi-
cate that trait generally but enormously ac-
credited exclusively TO our sex. and she mas peeh
tempted to explore the labyrinths OF popular
literature through CURIOSITY. CONFESS 10 ha''"s
been curious about great many things d'd not
like and some OF the literature OF the day was
among them. My own experience. In my own
opinion throws the benefit Of the doubt In the
direction Of thinking feminine readers.
Every rule. however has Its exception, ana we
find It In the reading world OF women. This ex
cepton has appetite for the sensational In
every detail OF her life 1t is much disease as
dipsomania and though her intellect IS capable
her appetite overcomes II and she must have her
stimulating solace just drunkard must nave

Just he does.
But because a few men drunkards we cannot
say all are Because few women have perverted
literary tastes or follow literary fads because
they wish to be considered progressive ~ IS no
reason why narrow minded pedant shoud at
tempt to wrest from all womankind the divine
quality Of intellect by stigmatizng 1t as TOO weak
to stand on its own merits. 80
Let the canny professor modify his statement mt
and acknowledge that II Is only some women
whose so-called literary tastes follow the pro-
cessOn OF fads. JENNIE l. NANDbE.

BUSINESS Is IMPROVING.
Dun's View of the Situation Endorsed
by Bradstreet's.


NEW YORK, Feb 19.-Bradstreets
tomorrow will say: General trade
shows more improvement, features of
which are the advances for Bessemer
pig iron, steel billets, steel rails, some
grades of wool, raw sugar, Indian corn,
pork and lard, and for print cloths,
with an upward tendency for leather;
together with a number of metal and
textile industrial establishments, which
have reopened within the week and an
improvement in recent railway earn
ings. Among the important staples for
which prices have decreased, are wheat,
flour, oats, coffee, cotton, roSin and
turpentine. The unexpected weakness
in wheat and wheat flour prices forms
the best evidence of the lack Of conf
dence by the trade and general public
in official reports of the size Of the
domestic wheat crop last year.
Exports Of wheat, flour included,
from both coasts Of the United States
and from Halifax, N. S., and St. John,
n. B., this week, aggregate 2,120,S95
bushels, compared with 2,051, 900 bushels
last week, 3,149, 900 bushels in the corre-
spending week of 1885, 1S0S.000 bushels
in the like week Of 1895, 1900 bushels
in the corresponding period Of 1894 and
as contrasted with 2,596000 bushels in
the like week OF 1898 Exports Of corn
this week are the largest on record for
a like period, amounting to 6,441, 42O
bushels as compared with t. 169, 900 BUSH
els last week, 2,925, 900 bushels in the
week a year ago, 592, 900 bushels in the
week two years ago, 1855, 900 bushels
three years ago, and as contrasted with
SGT, 600 bushels in the like week of 1898.
Total business failures throughout
the country have increased, numbering
S25, this week, compared with 301 last
week, 276 in the third week cf February,
1896, 1927 in the like week of 1895, 2S5 in
the corresponding period in 1894 and
202 in the like week of 1898. There were
1877 suspensions and failures of banks,
bankers ard loan and trust companies
in the United States, as reported to
Bradstreet's last year, compared with
1876 in 1895, only SO in 1894. and contrast
ed with 598 in the panic year $685. when
the total CT estimated liabilities,
amounting tc mere than S170, 900 900, was
less than total indicated assets. Only
one-third as many banks National,
state, savings, private and trust COM
panieS) failed or suspended last year,
as were reported embarrassed in 1898,
and the reduction in total estimated
liabilities was in the same proportion.
But that such embarrasSments were in
one sense more serious in 1896 than in
1893. is plain, as total indicated assets
of embarrassed banks in 1896 were So
COO, 900 smaller than the total estimated
liabilities. There are IS business fail
ures reported from the Canadian Do
minion this week, compared with "a

MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.

MINNEAP OILS Feb. 19.-The wheat mar
ket opened firm at Lice under yesterdays
close for the May option and scored an ad-
vance of %c by midsession, after which it
fluctuated within narrow limits up to the end
of the morning session. The news of the day
was generally favorable to steady and strong
markets, and, moreover, the sentiment has so
changed that with but slight encouragement
prices ascend easily. The trade generally is
gradually recovering from its fit of the blues
and more disposed to look on the bright side
of the market. New York was higher and
fairly active. st. Louis was remarkably
strong, and gave strength to Chicago, which
in turn, was reflected here. Kansas City re-
ported a very active milling demand at
prices considerably advanced, showing clearly
that farmers reserves are at a low point
Baltimore reported an active export demand
and New York said that foreigners were buy
ers in a moderate way. The government re-
port, due March TO- is expected to be very
bulish on reserves in farmers hands. The
decrease in the American visible this week
promises to be 800 600 bu the worlds shin
ments are not over $500 900 bu while Brad
streets should show a marked decrease as
compared with 1886. Clearances from the
United States this week will probably be
larger than the majority. on account of short
week last week and the fact that Pacific
coast clearances were evidently omitted The
extra day and the omission are quite likely
to show up this afternoon.
