The Condition Of Trade.
In their reviews of. the fine condition
and prospects OF trade in tho United States
the mercantile agencies make 1. fine show.
Ing.
r. G. Dun g. Co. say: "rhe reports from
different cities disclose wonderful nc
tivity Of the chief centres of Western trade,
the dispa ches from Chicago, st. Paul and
st Louis being especially significant. To
Eastern dealers it may be hard to realize
the West. although their own trade is OK
oellent Even in Eastern markets it is
commonly said that no larger trade has
ever been known, unless in 1892; but the
Western cities are running things much
After their own Taste this year. having
greater advantages than ever before in
heavy bank balances.
1.-THE iron and steel trade expands with
srapilily which throws Into the shade
Ill expectations with u steel famine in
ket for ten thousand ton plates, and the
American works are crowded for months
ahead.
''The textile industries arc not sharing
the general improvement to full extent
In part becau 20 the heavy decline in cotton
with large stocks of goods accommodating,
makes the mills disposed TO wait for fu-
ture developments, and in palt because
tho price of wool is higher than the mills
are ct present disposed 10 pay"
~~ ALARGE EXPORT DEMAND.
hadstrcets will say: Favorable trade
developments manifest themselves chiefly
along tho lines previously noted. The
Importance Of a large export demand to
the country's domestic Interests is illus
trat,d by the improved tone and prices of
wheat and -four this week, growing cut of
the better foreign buying induced by less
favorable Russian crop reports, smaller
shipments from that country and appar-
emily Continued careful .elling by Ameri-
ean producers.
Improved foreign demand for Ameri.

ume Of shipments this week. Wheat Gin

II Mrs. Francis C. Edwards of San
francisco Is quoted correctly Mr. Dun
ming must have been high roller while
sut on the Pacific slope She claims &c have
letters from him that II she made them
public their contents would send him to
prison. Surely Mr. Dunning had formed
'Ome charming female friends while re.
siding in San Francisco if Mrs. Botkin ia
70 be judged as sample of one of tho
,harmcrs. He could not have thought
much about his wife and he has been pre-
lending since her tragic death. 1t some

WORD comes from Washington, d. G.,
that two OF the battalions of the First
Delaware Regiment will be mustered out
Of the service on Wednesday next. From
the members Of the First Delaware we
have ouly heard one wish and that was
chat they would all be mustered out They
have evidently had enough of soldiers liio
while Tie country was on q peace footing.
Lucky boys that they did not have to be !
szpoied to the deadly climate Of Havana. |
