Missing University Student.

Considerable anxiety is felt by Mrs.

abou.s of IL son Arthur, who for the past
year attended the university at VcrmilI-
ion. The week prior TO the intercollegiate
meet at BOOKINGS, May ls-lS, young
Swartz borrowed considerable money from
several student friends. it is reported, say
ing he had not received certain money
which lie was eXpccting, and wished very
much to attend the sports at Hro"kins>.
Since that time motllim. has been heard of
him. either by students ar 10y his friends
at home, and naturally they are becoming
somewhat alarmed as tn his safety. There
is no reason why lie should thus disappear
without notifying his mother. for he was
his (" IL master in every respect. Numcr-
ons inquiries have ',cen sen to the several
military companies of Iowa and Nebraska,
and advertisements, giving Il description
of the young man, have been sent to daily

Good Effect OF Trade.
II. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review OF
Trade says: The certainty that the Span
ish Atlantic fleet is imprisoned and powcr-
less to do harm has helped to make the
tone OF markets more confident. Every
step of progress during the week which
las looked toward an early termination
of the struggle las been reflected in the
market and in lower rates for money. All
industries have felt the uplifting influ-
ence. In finances the growing anxiety to
lend on even long exchange al low rates
in place of shipments of gold to this cOun-
try begins to accumulate IL standing credit
in favor of the United States. a stronger
situation it would he diff .ult to describe.
Iroa and steel production has declined be-
cause several establishments have stopped
for repairs. Eastern markets are much
embarrassed, while tie western are
crowded beyond all precedent. But prices
are not changing i'll either section and
special manufacture is unsatisfactory as it
would he expected with the prospects.
Tile wool manufacturers arc buying no
wool and the sales at the three chief
markets during the past week were small.
In cotton goods there is a stronger tone
throughout with print cloths sustained ut
the recent advance. Failures for the week
have been BOB in the United States against
262 last year aud IL in Canada against 80
last wear.
