THE WEEK IN TRADE.
Speculation Rather Than Business

MAMMOTH OUTPUT OF IRON.
Over n Quarter of Million Tons
Supplied During the Week.
Opinions az to the
Wheat Crop.

New York. May 13-R. G. Dun & Co. s
weekly review of trade says:
To speak truly of business this week
one must free the mind of stocks For
a severe decline in manufacturing stocks
has created an impression that 1t has
some relation to productive industry,
but it has none. There was no change
In thefhoney market worth mentioning,
and the volume of business shown by
payments through the principal clear
ing houses was 71.5 per cent larger than
In 1892, the year of greatest prosperity
hitherto, which is more than double the
gain anybody considered possible year
ago.
Never before reaching 100000 tons per
week, the iron manufacture reports May
1 an output Of 250095 tons weekly, which,
with 81, 455 decrease in warrant and fur
mace stocks, indicates a consumption of
1882 tons daily, against 81 035 in March,
1851 in February and IS so in January.
The average for four r ~ IS is 37027
tons daily, against g? 2Gt iIl5t year. An
increase Of 1G per cent in the year would
be less interesting if consumption a
year ago were not far beyond anything
previously realized.
Greater than in any previous year by
81 per cent, the actual shipments of
boots and shoes from the east reflect a
heavy business. with a general advance
in prices. Fides at Chicago rise about
l per cent, with actual receipts of cattle

Cotton IS ahadc stronger at 6.25
cents, with government and other evil
dence that the reports of decrease in
acreage have been somewhat eXagger-
ated Mills are we'll employed through
out, and a single sale of over 100000
pieces of print cloths gives great assur-
ance to the market.
1t has been a week Of speculative
rather than business sensationalism.
While productive industry has gone on
its way rejoicing, with the biggest bust
ness, on the whole, ever known, specu
lation in industrial and street railroad
stocks has taken a dive downward, fall
ing nearly SIS per share for industrials
and So per share for railroad stocks to
the close on Tuesday. though recovering
consderab bly, for both on Wednesday,
but again showing weakness later.
Outside of government figures, pre-
vailing opinion is that losses of win
ter wheat have been largely made W
by resolving and by gains in spring
wheat regions, and the cotton acreage
is about as likely to run beyond esti
mates as it was year ago

wife and Her Husbands Business.

at is cause of amazement to me that
a man can go on, year in and year out,
toiling for a family whose members show
no interest in his work further than to
spend the money he makes, and who look
upon him as the family MINT" writes
Frances Evans in the January Ladies'
Home Journal. 'My firm belief is that
had he, in the first blush of married life,
talked over his business and ambitions
with his wife, she would have become in
terested in both, first for his sake, and
afterward for her own and their chill
dren's. Think of the gulf that lies be.
tween man and woman united in mar.
riage when he never speaks at home Of
the affairs which absorb his entire day!
Mutual interests will bind people togeth-
er indissolubly even when indifference,
that dangerous bridge of signs, has swal-
lowed up affection"

Curious Oriental Customs.

There are many traits of character
and custom in which the Arabs and
Turks are our antipodes. They shave
the head but not the chin, and we the
reverse. With us the uncovering of the
head in the presence of another is a
mark of respect; with them a mark of
disrespect. When they go into place
Of worship they keep on the hat and
take off the shoes and slippers; we do
the opposite. They mount on the right
side of a horse, and we ON the left.
They write from right to left, and we
from left to right. We show our good
breeding by taking the outside when we
pass persons on the street; they by
passing nearest to the wall. They do
the honors of the table by serving
themselves first; we serve ourselves
last. If friend inquiries after your
wife, you regard 1t as a compliment; to
inquire after theirs Is an insult. Their
mourning dress is white, our black.
They finish their wooden houses from
the top downward, and we from the
foundation up. The men wear frocks
and the women pantaloons. We wash
the hands by dipping them in water;
they by having water poured upon
them
