Busy Week I'm Trade Circles, with
Hardening of Prices.

In most lines the trade Of the week ending
April 30 was highly satisfactory in its volume,
and there was a tendency to an advance in prices
all along the line, ard where no advances were
made prices ruled strong and firm, with grocers.
druggists. leather dealers. hardware men and
seed merchants. On Commission row business
was near high-water mark. There is some anx-
iety as to this good business long continuing I'M
der the war excitement, but no letting down has
yet become apparent. In all lines of goods a dis
position is shown by merchants to spring prices.
Travelling statesmen report that all over the ter
ritory In which they travel merchants are cheer
full, buying literally and paying their bills with
more than ordinary promptness. The hardening
in prices is most noticeable In articles in the
way Of food which comes into daily consump-
ton. On fancy goods higher prices is the ten
dency where there is no extra demand or any ne
cessity to advance the price. Canned goods of all
kinds are in active request. Irish potatoes are
becoming scarce and prices strong at quotations,
and in the provision market prices are beginning
to advance.
The local grain market was active through the
week. but the receipts are by no means equal to
the demand. Higher prices have considerably in
creased the receipts of wheat. The week closed

Washington Post.

washington EOSI.
A mysterious package arrived at one %
the private schools in the city the other
day. 1t was addressed TO a Western girl.
and besides the card of a young newspaper
man, who had recently come back from
Havana. 1t contained a machete, a real
Cuban machete. The knife was twenty
inches long, with a heavy blade, painted
blood red, to within an inch of the cutting
edge. The steel was widened at the lower
end. and bent into a hollow handle. The
weapon was as frightful an implement as
you would care TO see, and the girls. OF
course, were delighted with it.
Cant you fancy" said the proud possess
sor, las you look at this rude knife. how
some heroic Cuban workman in the fast
ness of the Cuban hills forged this weapon
to fight for his country and his hoEne3
Can't you fancy him beating prayers into
the steel?"

What's that" asked everybody.
The matter-of-fact girl pointed to q small
and in~conspicuous label pasted to the blade.

Dry Goods.

NEW YORK, April so.-There has been a
growth OF interest in dry goods during the past
week and the close sees more activity in the local
district than has been the case heretofore. The
goods needed for army use. which include canton
fannels, corset jeans, black padding, black sile-
sias, drilling, unbleached muslin. ten and twelve
ounce cotton duck and tent drill. and in wooden
blouse hannels, dark blue shirtings, fannels. ker-
seys, lining hannels and blankets, have SHOWN q
stronger market all around on the strength OF a
well-distributed interest shown by prospective
bidders. This has, of course, influenced the gen.
erai market for allied goods in the several d.
visions affected, and the result has been a gen.
orally more satisfactory market all around and a
more hopeful future for sellers. Print cloths have
shown poor results through the week. Woolens
show slightly more activity for fall. The mar
ket has been strengthened by the demand for
government use for all wool goods. Sales have
been q degree heavier during the week.

Making the Cashier "come Downs

The Criterion.
In its advance notice of Mr.. Francis VII
sons story Of the late Eugene Field, the
Herald missed some of the most Charming
anecdotes that are told of the departed
writer. Mr.. Wilson describes brightly the
manner in which Mr.. Field indited an
evening hymn to Cashier Shackelford, of
the Chicago Daily News, the burden of
which was a request for "a FIVE" but he
seems to have missed mention of the
method TO which Field was won't to resort
when such appeals were d~ssregarded by
Shackelford. The first day that Field met
with an absolute refusal, he borrowed a
club from a friendly policeman and pro-
ceeded to beat a tattoo on the woodwork
outside the cashiers window until the Eve
dollars were handed 70 him.
