A VALUABLE COIN.
Philadelphia Record

Philadelphia Record.
The coin collectors of the CITY are
deeply interested over the valuable find
of rare golden coin found on last Sat
urday by James Furniss in front of the
historical old building located at Sec
ond and Walnut streets. The coin
proved to be sovereign nearly two
hundred years old. and is said to be
worth many. many times it,, original
face value. The piece had evidently
laid for over Il century in a crack of
the old bulk window, which is on tho
Second street front. In making n
slight repair TO the window Furniss
pried open crack in the lower part OF
the frame, and the coin dropped to the
ground. So black and disfgured was
1t with age, the finder was not at first
inclined TO attach any Importance TO
the find. However. an honest person
who recognized the value, made known
the extent of the prize. and Furniss
took it to coin collector who at once
attempted to buy it. The old building
in which the coin has lain concealed
was built by John Penn the son of
William Penn, and for nearly half n
century has been occupied by a gun
smith,

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEWS

THE VOLUME OF BUSINESS is INCREASING
IspecuIntors Believe Manufacturers
VIII Have to Pay the Increased
Price for Wool.

New York. May 25.--R. G. Dun & Co S
weekly review Of trade will say tomorrow:
There is some fear that has no other source
than the habit of fear. Men have found
for so many years disaster treading on the
heels OF apprehension that they lack faith
in good things present and to come. Every
year there is worry about short crops, and
yet the crops grow larger. The spocter OF
monetary trouble haunts men who know
that the country Is strong beyond any
reed. Proiloing methods alarm men who
are already quite aware that it is ONLY
rcedful TO put promoted stocks in u class
by themselves
But all the time the volume OF business
is rising The weeks payments through
the chief clearing houses are 62.l per cent
larger than in 1892. Moreover this week
and every other brings larger wages to
many and increased purchasing power, and
the demand for products is conse luelt
expanding in all branches OF consumption,
The rise in Bessemer pig iron OF Fits
burg and in local and in Southern iron at
Chicago results directly from the fact
that supplies are for the time less than
the demand.
The heavy fa'e of wool--30, 95i 900 pounds
at the three chief markets in three weeks,
against 20,7S0 900 for the same week in
1897, when the disastrous speculation Of
that year had begun to turn. and II .212 $50
in 1S92-are mostly due TO spectators, as
manufacturers are doing scarcely anything.
Weeks ago they held that prices were too
high, even after some decline for the prices
at which goods could be sold. But West
