Conditions of Trade.

The dreadful disaster to the Maine,
much as it has affected all hearts, has
not much affected business. Only in the
stock market, where there was selling
Wednesday by spectators on thin mar
gins, but In no other speculative mar
ket, was an affect felt, nor in general
business. Nothing has occurred to check
the increase in productions or in work
ing force. The proposal of a general
strike in cotton mills to support the
New Bedford strikers does not thus far
seem likely to meet much response.
An advance of 10 per cent. in wages by
some Gogebic mines is expected to be
general throughout the Lake region, ex-
cepting the Mesabi district, and prices
of ore from the other ranges this year
have been advanced Is per cent, with

One of the most enjoyable socia
events of the present winter season was
the Martha Washington entertainment

For some weeks past the young ladies
of the Congregational church had been
! planning for a suitable and worthy cele-
| bration of the birthday of him, who
was and is 'the first in war, first in
peace and first in the hearts of his
countrymen" - George Washington.
That the ladies' hard work and careful
planning were crowned with success,
was fully proven by the large number
present, the hearty and cordial socia-
bility and the handsome sum Melted.
Twas an event long to be remembered.
As one entered the church parlors,
a gorgeous reception scene was pre-
sented. George Washington, stately,
dignified and commanding-every inch
the man-was finely impersonated by
our estimable lowtownsman, Frank
J. Wood. His impersonation was
unique and complete. mistress Mar
tina" arrayed in gorgeous costume, i'm
personated by Mrs. Geo. H. Smith,
most admirably assisted his excellency
IN receiving guests. Passing from the
reception room, which in many respects
resembled a throne room, the guest
was ushered into the banquet hall where
amid resplenent decorations of Old
Glory and bunting, flowers and smilax,
was served as exquisite dinner as ever
graced banqueting board in the twiT
cities. The following was the menu: I
Olives Jelly. Pixies.
Salads
Saratoga Chips. Escalloped Btatoes.
Wheat Bread.
Brick Ice Cream. Assoted Cake.
Tea. Office.
The tables were filled time ghd again,
and to see the fair young LADIES' fitting
