REVIEW OF TRADE.
Business Conditions Likely 10 Fall on unil
Wage Scales are Fixed for the
Coming Year.

X. G. Dun & Co. Weekly Review
OF Trade" saws: Not much beyond
waiting is probable until wages for the
coming year can be settled. The halt
in the great iron industry necessarily al
iects business. There has resulted
more willingness to sell wool, especial
ly where warehouses are not plenty,
and prices average fully two cents lower
than in February, but manufacturers are
inquiring more earnestly just now to
find out what goods they can sell than
where they can get materials The
sharp fall OF two cents IN wheat and four
cents in corn appears to reflect public
conclusions after hearing much evil
dence, official and unofficial regarding
the extent OF injury to both grains. The
shipments go on at quiet and modet-
ate pace. In three weeks from Atlantic
ports they were 500, ,soI bushels wheat,
flour included, against o,5o5,393 last
year
Bradstrcct's Review" of the New
York stock market says: The stock
market has been strong in the face Of
dullness and OF the current Chinese sit
uation and other adverse factors OF eX-
tcrnal origin. The renewal OF gold eN-
ports and the appearance OF hardening
tendencies in money caused, however, a
somewhat weaker tone TO prevail in the
last few days. The declines which were
occurring in Russian and other govern
mental securities, as well as those Of
China, have again unsettled the foreign
MAI kets and led to London being 4
heavy seller OF stocks here. Our market
is certainly inclined TO regard the gold
expectations without fear, particularly
in view OF the large influx OF the metal
from Alaska and the news OF heavy
specie shipments in progress or in pros
pect from Australia to San Francisco.
The news from Pekin on Friday indi
eating the safety OF the American and
other ministers there had favorable ef-
feet on the market at large and caused
advances throughout the list, with 4
strong tone at the close. Business fail

Her Most Beautiful and Fruitful Years
Are Late In Life.
Since woman is In the main but n
bundle of paradoxes, II Is not so sur
prising TO hear that normally healthy
woman is younger, mentally and phys.
ically, at so than at 40. The reason Is
somewhat recondite, but still one to
be rendered in plain words. This re-
juvenation comes from a sort Of sec
ond growth of nerve tissue, or, more
accurately, new arrangement OF
nerve cells, which takes place COM
monty in the decade between 35 and
45. The rearrangement is somewhat
analogous to the root-making of rose
or a towering shrub. Almost every
one has noted how the riotous vitality
OF the vernal impulse wreaths rose

ing continues laggardly, the flowers

They are truly royal, loose-leafed, long
stemmed, heavy-headed blossoms, full
Of every virtue-size. fragrance. color
and endurance. Then the gardener
tells you 1t Is because in the height of
the warm weather the rose struck new
roots, and is full of the rich Juices OF
a second growth. II Is somewhat the
same with fruit trees-which, indeed,
occasionally blossom and let fall crops
OF young fruit. Invariably they make
new wood, which. II only 1t harden
sufficiently, is the best OF all wood for
either cuttings or grafts-because. say
the orchardists, 'it has more life In
