Cromwell's Court Was a Model of

among the courts of Europe in that age,
under Cromwell no man could rise who
was profiigate in private life, or corrupt
in public life How he had risen socially
is shown by the fact that his remaining
daughters now married into the nobility.
His domestic relations were exception

at the loss of his mother and his favo-

ready dead--was very great His letters

BRADSTREET'S TRADE REVIEW
Many Advances in Wages Increases
Purchasing Power.
FARM PRODUCTS ADVANCED.

New York, April 2--As regards
prices, the feature of the week has been
the strength manifested by agricultural
products and provisions The ad-
vances in the latter. in fact. are regard
ed foreshadowing upward
movement in hog products, long pre-
dicted but only partially realized
Numerous advances in wages have still
further advanced the purchasing power
of the community Disquieting adj
vices as to the international comp1ica-
tions and less favorable French crop
reports have furnished the basis for
slight upward movement in wheat.
Winter wheat crop advices have been,
the whole. good and have acted as
a balance to the stories of French dam
age Corn has been strong, in sympa-
thy with wheat and some renewal of
foreign buying. aided by unsatisfactory
advices as to the quality of new arrivals.
t'Alone of the agricultural staples,
cotton has weakened during the week,
not because of any Impairment OF the
statistical position, which. in deed, re-
mains very strong, but really because
some speculative holders have gotten
tired and have given ear to reports of
du1lness in the cotton goods demand
The recent advance in leather has
tended to restrict new business, but
advices from the boot and shoe industry
are on the whole favorable There has
been some accumulation of stocks of
lumber and talk of over production in
some states of the South, but price
weakness is not as yet notable Man
