WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER "a, 1900.
TRADE NEWS OF THE WEEK.
Reviews by Dun Co, and Bradstreet's Show
Pronounced Tendency Toward
Flrmer Quotations.

New York Especially r. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review OF Trade" says:
Prices of commodities advance all
most without exception, and all the
changes in manufactured goods are in
the direction of flrmer quotations. The
smallness OF stocks OF goods carried
Is a feature of our reports from most
Of the leading centers. Scarcity Of
labor gives manufacturers in the Mid
die States great concern.
Activity at iron and steel mills
steadily increases, and there Is an
equally uniform advance In quotations.
The gain has been more general this
week than at any previous time this
season, pig iron moving up 25 cents a
ton, and corresponding gains appearing
Ia bars, billets, plates and structural
materials generally. Instead Of the re-
cent agitation for cheaper steel rails,
there is now talk of an advance to S2S,
owing to the further rise In steel bill
lets.
The report of pig iron production
IN November ! by the Iron Age shows
a weekly capacity OF only ,304 tons
the smallest since September, 1885, but
the reduction OF $4,000 tons from Oc-
tober in furnace stocks is most en-
couraglng. These figures, with the ac-
tivlty in all branches OF the industry,
indicates that there will be no further
reduction in output, but the December
statement will probably show more
than 200 furnaces in blast
"A temporary furry in the wheat
market on Monday took the December
option above 80 cents. 1t was reported
that Wall Street operators were turn
ing their attention to grain.
The much discussed advance In
meats at Chicago was not heavy, but
scarcity of first quality fresh eggs has
brought very high prices.
Failures for the week we're 217 In
the United States against 219 last year,
and thirty-three in Canada against
twenty last year"
Bradstreet's says:
"The tonic effect OF seasonably cold
weather is again testified to by reports
from practically all markets OF brisk
demand for Winter clothing and foot
wear
Among textiles, cotton is notable
for lac. advance on the week, due to
killing frost having terminated further
growth. Estimates OF the crop aver
age about 10,250,000 bales.
Gold weather has been the stimulus
to the butter market and the advance
IN ten days has been fully 4 cents per
pound. Among the articles declining
might be mentioned -four, on slack de-
mand, coffee and petroleum.
Wheat, including flour, shipments
for the week aggregate 4062,00 bu.
shells, against 3,555507 bushels last
week, and 4,540,0O7 bushels in the cor.
responding week of 1899 Corn ex.
ports for the week aggregate 3,976,9li
bushels against 3,287, 627 bushels last
week, and 4,6O3,718 bushels in tnie
week year ago"

ports of unusual activity on the part

To Know Good Meat.

Let us imagine ourselves before a
butchers block having on it four
pieces of beef presenting faces from
the rOun~ or sirloin. One is dull red,
the lean being close-grained and the
fat very white; the next is dark red,
the lean lose-grained and sinewy and
the fat yellow; the fourth is bright
cherry-red, the lean smooth and
medium-grained, with fecks of white
through it, and the fat creamy
neither white nor yellow. The first of
these is cOw-beef; the second, bull
beef; the third, beef from an old or i'll
conditioned animal, and the last is OK

and most economical to buy of all beef

Food For Fishes.

Prof. Charles L. Bristol has a paper
in the Century, illustrated with full
page pictures in tints, describing the
Treasures of the New York
Aquarium" Strange as it may seem,
the fayorite tidbit Of fishes that are a
little off their feed is a bit of sailed
Goldfish!
Sometimes fish will refuse to eat
for days, as did the large moray that
came from Bermuda. At one time
this great eel tasted for eighteen days,
and at another time for Jwenty-seven,
thus causing its caretakers the ut
most anxiety. Eagerly they study the
bill Of fare provided for their patients.
Now a live herring is offered, now a
dead one; now soft-shell clam in the
shell, now a Quahog minced fine; and
SO on through the list until the fasting
animal is enticeG to eat. The most
attractive morsel to a moping fish
seems to be a strip cut from a sailed
Goldfish and manoeUvered about on a
long stick to give it the appearance of
being alive.
The regular daily feeding of the
animals is another source Of care, not
only in regard to the special diets Of
the various kinds of fishes, but also
in the serving. The dietary is quite
varied, as some fish are vegetarians,
many carnivorous, and a few omniv-
OrOus. The vegetarians are few in
number, and feed on soaked cereals or
green plants in season. The carni-
vorS have various tastes: some are
fond Of soft-Shell Gains alive in the
shell, others will eat only qUahogs or
little-neck clans minced fine; some
will eat only living fishes that they
can capture, others thrive on fresh
dead fishes from which the bones have
been removed; some require a diet of
live shrimps or small crabs; and
almost all enjoy a bit Of sailed Goldfish
as a deIicacy Besides the fishes
there are the turtles, seals, Holsters,
sea-anemons, and others to provide
for, each requiring a special know
ledge of its wants and habits through
all the seasons. The number Of
mouths to be fed regularly exceeds
three thousand, and the supply of
TODD comes largely from Fulton Mar
ket; but the live fishes and shrimps
must be caught and handled by the
attendants, who draw their supplies
almost entirely from the nearby
waters Of Sheepshead and Gravesend
bays.
