Encouracin. Trade Outlook.

Dun's weekly review of trade Is en-
couraging despite the extraordinary
conditions incident TO the unparalleled
weather the entire country has expert
enced. The opening statement that
business is expanding. notwithstanding
speculative combinations which tend to
reduce 1t, shows how the volume of
business Is power at this time even
properly says that all monopolies or
attempted combinations, such as those
which, are Just now forming. stimulate
business while they are forming, but
tend to stiile 1t after they come"
1t Is n significant statement In this
connection, which is worth thinking
about, that the throns of combinations
and trusts which are forming and have
been formed, have given n temporary
but questionable influence to trade"
Taking this view OF 1t, II is matter Of
the greatest satisfaction that even be-
You'd this influence, there seems TO be
an enlargement Of business not due to
the temporary impetus but to the gen.
cral prosperity OF country in which
growing population is making grow
ing demand. 1t is doubtless true, also
that the facts that our foreign markets
are keeping up, and that our exports
are continuing to maintain the high
standard they reached some time since,
are helping along this genuine prosperi-
ty. Taken altogether. the outlook as
spring approaches is fairly good.

Washington Star: 1t did not take

cause no man in Washington leaves a
lady alone while he goes out between

But 1t did occur, and the site Of its
occurrence Is not west Of the Ale

thirty, the girl twenty-five. and the the

there was that kind of jaw hedging
the lower part of her rosy cheeks that
ought to have been hint to the young
man. The young man was fair sample
pie of tn average chap who makes
$1,000 TO sl,500 year.
Between them and the aisle sat a big
man of fifty, and his wife and two
daughters, and the big man had voice
bigger than he was. When the curtain
went down on the first act there was
n slight scrap between the couple,
which ended in the young man not 60
Ing out between the first and second
acts. because the wait was short, and
he hadn't time to argue. The girls
cheeks were redder than before when
the curtain went up, and the jaw was
firmer.
At the next fall Of the curtain there
was slight scrap again, which ended
this time in the young man dragging
himself over four people, and leaving
the girl to sit alone until he was ready
to come back to her. Two minutes
later the girl dragged herself over after
him, over the same four people. but
she stopped in the aisle long enough to
say something to the big man with the
two daughters. Then she disappeared.
It was long wait. and just as the
curtain started up the young man hur-
ried down the aisle, and was about to
drag himself over the same four people
when the big man called his attention
to the vacancy which had occurred dur
ing his absence. The young mans jaw
dropped. and he actually grew red In
the face The big man handed him
n ring with a bright little diamond
glistcning in 1t.
