has adapted the bicycle to serve the
needs of the praying wheel as used by
the followers Of his creed. Instead of
attaching the written prayer to the
customary wheel, which is generally
turned by convenient stream of rum
ming water, the new vogue is to fix the
prayer to the hub of the bicycle wheel,
so that the faster the rider can pedal
the better he can pray. Although

Ex-EMPREss CARLorTA, it is said, is
to be taken to the City of Mexico,
brought in the hope that the visit will
restore her mind. Prince Kevenhuller,
of Austria, is said to have delicately
sounded the government as to whether
her proposed visit would inconven-
fence the government, and the reply
was that it would not. OF course, if
the ex-empress comes she will still be
under the delusion that she is empress
of Mexico. It would be necessary to
indulge her in these fancies.

New York, April Pr. G. Dun &
Co. in their weekly review of trade say:
III either Turkey or Greece had been
wholly buried in the sea, markets might
have been affected less than by the out
break of war in Europe. Like fire in the
heart of crowded city, it raised the ques-
ton If a general confla grafton might spring
out of it. TO this possibility, and not to the
direct influence of either Turkey or Greece
upon the worlds money or produce mar
kets, was due the excitement in grain and
stocks. AS the unknown is magnified,
American markets were much more Eighty
than European, where the possibilities have
been discussed and partly discounted for
months. But the uncertainty remains, and
will affect the movement of money and
staples until it disappears. creating
larger demand for American produce at
higher prices. causing hasty speculative
selling of securities at times, but also more
continuous buying by foreign investors,
and not improbably influencing the atti-
tude of foreign powers on questions i'm
portant to this country.
Failures for the week have been 21S
in the United States, against 23S last year,
and q in Canada. against ~ last year."
Bradstreet's says:
1.-THE change in conditions underlying
general trade while Slight this week, has
been in the direction of Improvement The
depression in iron and steel continues, and
Bessemer pig and steel blllets have reacted
another rs cents a ton. The outlook ia
vors an increase of labor disturbances to
resist midsummer wage reductions. The
bttuminous coal mining industry is worse
off than the anthracite, with rumors Of
strikes. which promise to have an unfa-
vorable influence on other than iron and
steel industries Trade in wool is quieter.
There is less life in the wholesale dry
goods trade. and little relief has been
experienced, Notwithstanding the large
auction sale Of cotton goods last week,
buyers continuing to supply immediate
needs only.
''The only large cities reporting an in
crease in the movement of merchandise
are st. Paul. Minneapolis, Milwaukee and
Kansas City, where the distribution Of
dry goods. shoes, hardware and building
materials has been more conspicuous. At
almost all other large centers there has
been no material gain in industrial or
commercial lines. New Orleans reports
that the sugar lands have escaped over
