Condition of Trade.

Not for several years have the tele-
graphic reports from various cities in all
parts Of the country been as encOurag-
ing Or shown as uniform improvement
as this week. The markets are called
crazy by some, but fairly represent the
people whose confidence in the future
is strong and increasing. Nothing
appears to check it. RumOrs of injury
to crops are not sufficiently supported
to have much influence. The one
temporary hindrance is strike of btu
minOus coal miners, which interferes
as yet little with industries, and seems
likely to terminate within week.
Fluctuations in the stock and produce
markets do not alter the fact that, on
the whole. they are still tending up
ward. The demand for money i'm
proves, taking from New York to
the interior about half a million
more than was received during the
week, and offerings of commercial loans
are much larger, including consider
able iron and steel paper, land the course
of exchange is generally interpreted
as an indication that specie imports
cannot be long delayed. The Bank of
England has acquired such control of
the outside market that it does not
advance its rates, confident that for
a time it can oblige France or Germany
to meet demands from this country,
but offerings of American bills against
products to be forwarded are very
heavy.

A New Study Of American Fashion
able Life.

Julien Gordon Mrs. Van Rensselaer,
Cruger) has used for her last novel a
study of New York, Newport and
Boston life, which promises to be
read with wide interest by all who
are interested in American fash
ionable life. No one knows the
society of these three centers Of
fashion better than Mrs. Cruger.
From her girlhood up has had every
opportunity to observe, and we have
had no American women of more
brilliant powers, not only Of reading
the human heart, but of putting her
impressions in delightful fashion.
A charming fresh Massachusetts
girl is sacrificed in her youth to the
ambition of a . rich marriage" De-
priyed of love, she throws herself into
the race for social leadership, and we
follow for twenty years, with eyer-in-
creaSing interest, the career Of this
able and beautiful woman as she cap
lures outpost after outpost, failing in
Boston only to change her base Of
operations to England, and then at
tacking the main works of the enemy
at New York, and so on to Newport,
and finally beholds the capitulation
OF Boston itself. The first chapters
open in the September COsMoPoLITAN.

81 have never in the past Wavered i'll
the belief, nor do | now, that in the end
we will be possessed of banking and
currency system so strong as to make
impregnable the country's credit. 1t is
possible that before the nations fnan-
cial structure rests upon a foundation
firm as the eternal hills, the American
people will be called upon to pass
through the awful experience and loss
which would follow in the wake of IN
checked paper and silver fatism. But
at last, no matter how prolonged the
struggle or great the suferings, with the
acquiescence of all, the monetary prin-
ciples which accord with the worlds
business experience, financial research
and every dictate of common honesty,
will here prevail in complete and en-
during triumph. From Compt. Eckels'
speech before American Bankers Asso-

The way of the labOrer is hard in
Mexico at this time. 1t appears that
it now takes nearly two and a half
Mexican dollars to purchase what one
American dollar will command. The
following list of wages paid to the
various crafts in Mexico as compared
with their brethren in this country is
taken from the report Of a commission
sent to Mexico last fall by the Trade
and Labor Assembly of Chicago, and
shows clearly what must be the cOndi-
ton Of WOrkmen who are paid in a
deprecated currency and one which is
continually further depreciating.
Street-Car drivers, according to the
report, receive in Mexico IS cents per
day in Mexican silver, while those in
Chicago receive 1926 in good money.
TeamSters get 81. a day in Mexico in
cheap silver, but S1.75 in Chicago in
American dollars, worth nearly two
and half times as much as Mexican
dollars. Printers in Mexico get $1.25
per day, but in Chicago So per day Of
money worth two and a half times as
much Bricklayers in Mexico receive
I.25sper day and in Chicago 81 per day.
Contrast the difference here. The
Chicago man gets nearly eight times
as much as his Mexico friend. Labor
ers in Mexico are reported as receiving
81! cents a day and in Chicago S1.25.
Does q study of the above showing
recommend the adoption of the silver
standard, which several States are
making their sole issue in this falls
camDaign.

Among the mauy evidences of re-
turning business activity reported by
BradStreet'S last issue are the follow
ing news items from various parts Of
the country: The NOrwalk Wooden
Mills at Norwalk, Conn, have re-
sumed work, notifying their hundreds
of operatives that night work is likely
to he required. The Birmingham,
Alabama. Rolling Mills announce a
resumption of work. The Howard
Harrison Iron Company at BeSSemeT,
Ala, has increased its force, and the
pipe works at Bessemer have resumed
operations. The Providence mine
at Scranton, Pa, which has lain idle
for two years, will resume at once.
The Delaware Iron Works at New
castle, Del, have resumed operations,
giving employment to 500 persons, and
the wallpaper factory at Newark,
Del, will soon resume. The Edge
moor Iron Company at Newcastle,
Del, has increased it's force. The
Nashville, Ill, coal miners have re-
ceiyed an increase in wages Of 20 cents
per ton for mining coal. The pottery
manufactures in new Jersey have
reached an agreement to increase
wages of employees. The Southern
Railway Company has put the men
in all its shops at work nine hours a
day. The Hutchinson Cole Manufac-
turing Company Of NorWalk, Conn,
will resume at once, employing 500
operatives. This showing rather
sayOrs Of something more than a de-
fusion and snare.

Our fellow toWnsmen, T. L. Steib & Co.
the druggists, did not expect so soon to
get favorable reports from applicants
who procured from them free samples
of DR.. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills.
The tests made so far by the users of
the free samples, show that these re-
markable pills produce favorable re-
suits with degree of quickness hereto
fore unknown in the treatment of Kid
ney, Bladder and Blood diseases, and
allied ailments.
Those who have used them have been
encouraged to perseyere with the treat
ment, knowing that they could not ex-
pect the five days treatment contained
in the sample box, Notwithstanding the
remarkable results obtained so far,
would effect complete cure. Kidney
disease is of imperceptible and insid-
ious growth; it takes months to develop
even the symptoms. Reason and expe-
rience suggest that it takes more than a
few days to cure. Fortunately, DR..
Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills begin the
good work Of cure with the first dose.
The results are evident from the begin
ming. The delightful effects of these
Pills induce the patient to continue
their use until cured. They are easy to
take, easy to buy, easy to get, and boun-
tiful in good results.

by the presence of a multitude

Director Preston Of the United
States mint estimates that the gold
production of 1897 will be in the
neighborhood Of $40, COO, 600. There
is reason to believe that there will be
a billion dollars more of gold in the
world by 1900 than there was when the
campaign of 1896 began Al of
which must be highly cheering for the
silverites, especially in view of the
tremendous fall in the price Of the
white metal.

Farm products continue to advance
despite the steady fall in silver.
This is true not only with reference
to wheat and wool, but nearly all the
articles which the farmer produces.
Bradstreet's, in its latest issue,
prints a carefully prepared statement
showing the trend Of prices upon
a large number of articles, and in this
statement shows an advance in July
in wool, corn, beef, hemp, cotton,
cotton-seed oil. beans, wheat, oats,
hay, rye, potatoes, tobacco mutton,
bacon, eggs, lard, and rice. Can the
farmer complain of his condition
nowadays, and can he listen with any
patience to the people who insisted
a year ago that nothing but the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver would
bring an advance in the price Of his
products?

The railroads are sharing in the
general prosperity which has come to
the country since the election OF Nc
Kinley. The July earnings of lis
railroads operating 80, 900 miles Of road
average a per cent. higher than July,
1895, and 81 per cent. higher than in
1894. Thousands Of railroad men
through the country who stood by
Mckinley as the representative of
sound principles in finance are now
receiving their reward in the improved
earnings Of the organizations which
employ them, and which are thus able
to give more employment and better
recognition to their employees.
