GENERAL REVIEW OF WEEKLY TRADE Great Wave of Advancing Prices
 Has Come. STRUCTURAL STEEL WEAK It is Thought That the Bottom Has Been Reached in Iron Prices,
 and the Advance Will
 Begin Slowly
STRUCTURAL STEEL WEAK

New York, Aug. 17.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 After a great wave of advancing prices optimism as to business Is generally danger ous. But the top was reached the middle of March, since which time reaction has come in every great industry, so that con- sumers are asking whether in some direc- tions the decline may have not been reas- onably large as was the advance, and whether buying on the present basis of prices is not fairly sure. There are further evidences of weakness in raw materials, notably the break in structural steel, but each one Is availed of to place heavy con- tracts. New York is welcoming buyers from all over the country in larger num- bers than for many years at this season, in dry goods, in groceries, in jewelry and in hardware; and if contracts are not placed to as large a volume as expected by this time, 1t is because of conservatism of those who think they may compel some further shading of prices. Reports this week from other important points of distribution show eagerness to buy when the time seems ripe.
 It is becoming more apparent that the bottom has been reached in prices of iron and steel. The decline was severe and re- covery must be slow, but gradual advances and moderately increasing activity are more healthy than violent changes. In no single division is the improvement more striking than in any other Except in steel rails, all forms of iron from the ore to the finished product are being sought more eagerly and with less effort to secure fur ther concessions in prices. The first effect of the official report of wheat conditions indicating a total crop of only 513, ,0OO was to strengthen prices, but when the sec retary of agriculture was reported as pre- dieting dollar wheat before the end of the year, the market showed an inclination to disagree, and the September option fell below 80 cents at New York for the first time in two months.
 For the year shipments of boots and shoes from Boston are 24,735,443 cases, against 2,914,SS5 in 1899, but volume business to date has been exceeded only in the last year.
 Hides are in better position than the leather markets warrant.
 Failures for the week were 161 in the United States, against 156 last year, and "A in Canada, against "A last year.

BRADsTREET'S REVIEW

New York; August 17.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say:
 Among the favorable features reported this week are advices of further expansion in fall trade distribution at leading western centers, with relatively best buying pig from these sections of the southwest, which have profted by good crops, rather better distribution by dry goods jobbers at the east, a finer tone and perceptible growth in confidence, accompanied by a heavy buying in some classes of steel and iron, and a disposition to believe that an average which the crop and much more than average corn and oats crops are as sured Steady increases in current gross railway earnings over year ago and an exceptionally favorable net earnings report for the first half of the year are addition ally encouraging features.
 The list of unfavorable elements in the trade s.,uation is at best a negative one, the approach of a Presidential campaign, though less effective than usual in this re- spect, the backward demand for spring woolens and the slow demand for the raw material the restriction in production of some makes of cotton goods, the dullness in building materials, notably lumber and liS DdChWdIu lOi pootS anu SHocS at the east being among these.
 The money market as a whole is still easy, the only increase in demand being noted at the west, where trade is expand ing, but where moving crops are still in the future.
 The staple of prices is perhaps slightly irregular, but changes are small and the larger number of staples are unchanged.
 Wheat, including flour, shipments for the week aggegate 3,113,641 bushels against g. 31S,7 760 bushels last week, 100000 in the corresponding week of 1899; 3,9SS34S in 1898; 5,3l6,S03 in 1897 and 2,991, 693 in 1896. From July 1 to date, this season, wheat exports are 21,00l, ,2S0 bushels against 26,165069 last season and 22,343, 076 in 1S9S-99
 Corn exports for the week aggregate B. 017,0S9 bushels against 2,S90,754 last week. 5,531 405 in this week year ago; 3,196,0N in 1898; 3,929,0 ,035 bushels in 1897 and 2,769, 601 bushels in 1896, From July 1 to date this season corn exports are 24,SS1 IA busels against 32,O-6669 last season and 20,22S, 365 in 1S9S-99.
 Business failures in the United States for the week number 16S as compared with 172 last week and in this week year ago; 195 in 1898; 221 in 1897 and 264 in 1S96
 Canadian failures number 24 as against 20 last week and in this week a year ago; 2e in 1898; 41 in 1897 and 30 in 1896.

life in the world to come from barren
life here. To obtain results even here
there must be labor and self sacrifice.
TO attain them hereafter there must be
even more.
In this life what can we look for?
At the very best few years Of ease
when we arc old, with the chance of
always having it disturbed and embit-
tered by some act or circumstance over
which we can have no control. Is that
the end for which man should shape
his life?
Admitting that there is hereafter
as all of us who search and think Of
ourselves must admit--it is for each
OF us to determine how and what it
shall be, although we may know
nothing Of the details We may know
that there is assurance of happiness
unspeakable-of spiritual and beau
tiful life beyond our conception--a
life in which there will be no tears or
fears or sorrows. 1t may be by far
stretching green fields where willow
trees droop above tranquil waters or in
the streets of an ever lighted city
paved with gold. Wherever or how
ever it may be, it will be as the soul
longs for and there will h.. ,ihdisturbed
happiness ;n1 tIrc glory Of growth aud
I progress
1t is the glorious destiny and portion
Of man to look for such result, to live
and strive and labor for it, knowing
that his soul must live, his purpose
should be to have it live in the mex
pressible glory, the unimagined beauty
of the Almighty. There is the knowl-
edge for which we strive, the beauty
for which we vaguely long, the hope
to which our aspirations wing their
way when they rise beyond our
thought and possibility of achievement
here.
If there IS not hope and beauty and
love apd balm for our hearts and sub
stance and glory fit for the filling of
our longing souls in the dark, unknown
beyond, why should any of us live after
the first days of strengh when dreams
are scattered and ambitions are crush
| ed back?
The soul is the hope and the hcreaf-
ter is the real purpose Of life; and aside
from them vanity, vanity. all is vani-
tty.'

Origin or The Penknife.

Do you know why the little pocket
knives are often called penknives?
Perhaps some of you have often won
dered, and did not like to ask. You
use steel pen at school; but when
Washington lived there were no steel
pens. At that time, aud until the
year 1920, pens were made out of
quills or large feathers Of the goose
and other birds. Now these quill pens,
being soft, got out Of order and split,
80 they had to be remade. Most
writer's kept sharp knife TO remake
these pens, 80 the knives got to be
called ''pen knives" The word
''pen" is from the Latin word open
ma, - which means feather; so when
we say steel pen, we talk Of steel
feather, which is absurd; but then
the language is made up of very funny
words and phreses, and tho little
word per" is How used for the piece
of steel with which we write. What
becomes Of all the pens made2 One
firm in England makes 200, 900, 600
pens every year, and there are several
other makers who send out nearly as
many more; then in the United States
we make at least 100000, 900 every
year. Where do they all go to? It
is not often that you can pick up old
pens and yet vast number must be
lost every day.

Showing the Queer.
W. l.. DrRsT.
rccnwood, 5 C., March 81, 1900.

Counterfeit money showers form
a 'Cist,nct class of criminals, said an
old federal officer. They have moth
ing to DO with making the queer,
but simply put it in circulation
They so about their work very sys-
tcmatically aud reduce the chances Of
detection TO :. minimum.
y woman shower, for example,
starts out to unload on the big retail
stores. Her dress is quiet, but clc
CANT, and she has the surface appear
ancc of n refined lady. In her hand
is pocket containing one bad
bill and number of good ones. She
goes into Il store, makes some trifling
purchases, tenders the counterfeit and
pockets the change. AS she passes
out .shc brushes against boy, who
slips her another queer bill and then
drops back few PAGES in the
crowd.
I'm that way she makes the rounds,
and if she understands her business
she can get rid of an astonishing num-
Der of counterfcits in the course of a
few hours. If The bill she offers is
detected on tho spot, she never at
tcmpts any argument. Dear met
she exclaims. L wonder if have any
more Of the horrid things!' And
thercupon she. empties her pocketbook
on the counter and asks the clerk to
examine the money and see whether it
is all right.
Sin SO cases out of 100 that disarms
suspicion at once Meanwhile tue
boy who carries the roll quietly disap-
pears. Often he sells newspapers as a
blind. Have paper, miss?' he will
cry and hands the shower bill under
the folded sheet. Altogether it is q
highly skilled trade The upper class
showers arc seldom caught. "-New
