Dun's Report.

X. q. Dun q Co.'S. in their review of
trade for last week say; The most sig
nificant thing this week has been the
entire absence of the customary nervous
fright before the meeting of Congress, the
Presidents message and the tredsurer's
report. There is larger demand for
products in nearly all the great indus
tries, larger export demand for foreign
needs, a more healthy domestic demand
since reasonable weather arrived and a
comforting conviction that November
business, the biggest ever done In this
country in any month was but step
toward something better. December
exports last year were marvellous but in
dications are that they will be larger this
year. The export of wheat and -four for
the Atlantic coast for the week were
more than 30 per c-nt IN excess of the
corresponding week of last December,
while the Pacific coast export WAS con-
siderablv smaller. Cotton fully shared
in the export movement, and neverthe
less has risen 3-l6 in price, with a feeling
that estimates of yield may have been
excessive. Woolen goods are reported
in better demand. The volume of bust
ness domestic and foreign, is very heavy.
Exports from New York for the week
were IL per cent larger than last year,
and for five weeks % per cent larger
while imports were per cent larger,
and for five weeks about the same.

The war is ended. There is no longer

OF course there has been little proha-
bihty of any other outcome. Spain was
utterly unable To do otherwise than to
comply with the best terms she could
get from our commissioners and she got
very favorable ones. Probably no other
nation under like circumstances would
have paid her dollar. She got
500, 000,000 for islands she could not
hold and which would have been cause
of large expense to her If she could have
held them. Spain lost heavily ia the
war in ships and other war expenses but
in the settlement she has made a
splendid bargain.

was seventh in the direct line of d, scent
from Henry Savward who came to this
country from England in 1857 aud settled
in what is now the town of York. and
with his descendants had much to 90
with the development OF that section of
Maine.
William Sayward was an active bnsi
ness man of sterling worth and his wife
an accomplished NV Hampshire lady
70 them was born an old-time family OF
ten children, Simon ID. being the
seventh. His birthplace WAS the old
family mansion in Shapleigh and the
date of his birth, September %, 1928
He received Il good town school eduea-
ton and at the age of eighteen entered
the shop of u tin manufacturing firm in
s ruth Berwick and Great Falls. In the
latter place he became acquainted with
James L. Furber, who WAS subsequent
ly general manager Of the Boston &
Maine railroad. From Great Falls Mr.
Sayward went to Springva,e, which he
made his home until 1858 when he came
TO Skowhegan, which was his home, con-
tinuously, until his death.
In this town M. Sayward first worked
for Francis Drew, then for Frank Vii
liams. A few years after he bought out
the business and formed partnership
with Roscoe Bean. He was subsequent
ly associated with John Vosmus and
later was in the tin manufacturing bust
ness alone, but hecause of an injury re-
ceived from being thrown from car
riage, was out of business for period Of
two years.
In 1870 Mr.. Sayward was employed by
the Portland & kennebec railroad to
work for the company to do their tin
and plumbing business. After the Port

tendency of this line of work including
the care of the water supply for all the
