Boston House Employees. Outing.

Tonight the Employees Relief Association
of the Boston House take their regular an
nual outing to Marshall Hall. No more
popular excursion goes down the river than
this, and it will undoubtedly be this tine.
as it has in past years, one of the most
enjoyable events OF the year on the ex-
cursion calendar. From the large num-
ber of tickets sold, a crowd is sure to go
that will fill the Manchester. An excellent
musical program will be furnished. the
Mount Pleasant Field Band having been
engaged for the occasion, in addition to
Prof. Schroeder'sb sband. Allthe usual forms
OF amusement at the Hall will be pressed
into service 10 give the friends and meuf-
bers of the association d good time. The
dining rooms are under the personal direc-
ton of Mr. ]. C. Knight, who was for
merly connected with Chamberlin's. His
dinners have reputation and everything
in his line can be counted en- as par ex-
cellence The sail on the river is partis,-
ularly beautiful these June nights, and
the merry crowd, the music and the amuse-
ments guarantee an evening it would be
hard to duplicate.

NEW EQUIPMENT ORDERED.
Locomotives and Cars for the Ba:
timore and Ohio Railroad.

Locomotives and cars Tor the Ba.-
timore and Ohio Railroad.
Within the past four months the business
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has i'm
proved to such an extent, and the prospect
of further increase is so good, that the
receivers ordered the following new equip
ment:
Three thousand box cars from the Pull
man Car Company, 1000 box cars from
the Missouri Car Company for the Fairport
line, 300 coal cars from the Michigan Car
Company, 20 freight and passenger
locomotives from the Baldwin Locomotive
works, ID freight locomotives from the
Pittsburg Locomotive Works.
This equipment is being delivered da ily
and as fast as the engine ard CARS are re-
sceived they are placed in active service
These cars and engines will not increase
the equipment to such an extent as might
be thought, as a great many old locomo-
tiyes are to be retired from service as soon
as the new engines are completed. Among
these old locomotives are about twenty
of the famous old '.camel backs that
have been in Use since before the war
They have been doing yard duty, but have
even gotten too old for that. However,
the new engines will increase the roads
capacity TO a very large extent and the
new cars will give the B. & O. the asldi
tional equipment that is badly needed
Within the past year and half about
10000 new freight cars and 40 LOGON o
tives have been ordered and added to the
equipment

THE WEEKS TRADE REVIEW.
Business Disappointing Cotton Advances
Mills Better Employed Imports.

New York, April 30.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade will say,
tomorrow: In spite of the moderate
Improvement in most of the great in
dustries, business is disappointing
Expectations of a speedy end of the
war in Europe through Turkish victory
have helped to depress grain. The de-
mands of Austria and Cuba have
caused exports of $500, 900 of gold.
merchandise imports are greatly in
creased. and final action of Congress
on the revenue question seems more
remote.
The cotton market has advanced Il
quarter of a cent owing mainly to q
speculative impulse from England. but
the delay in abatement of floods and
their continued distructiveness afford
an apparent reason. Imports have in
creased about 80 per cent. over last
year, for the week and for the -four
weeks have been 80, per cent greater;
in dry goods alone. $4S60.000 while the
imports of wool have beeen So, 749, 439.
At Boston, imports of wool have been
extraordinary and at Philadelphia,
they amounted for the month to $l,2IS,-
COO. The thought that this abnormal
increase may continue as long as action
on the revenue bill Is deferred tends to
affect exchange. but the main influence
at present is the exceptional demand
.cr reconstruction of the Austrian
monetary system and for Japan.
OF the great industries, the iron and
steel manufacture Is now slow in ad-
vancing. The boot and shoe manufacture
has some increase in orders without fur
ther reduction in prices. Hides are again
about per cent. lower at Chicago, and
leather also is weaker there. There is
more business in cotton and wooden goods
and little better tone in prices, some
cotton and some WOODEN goods having
slightly advanced without general
change. The mills are rather better en-
ployed and the demand is apparently in
creasing, though not enough in wool to
induce manufacturers to purchase.
But imports have been enormous. If
current reports are not In error. than
