to the point
One day Ira Connell and John Stout
met at the Montgomery depot. They
stood earnestly conversing some time
apart, while the draymen. and truck
men and grain dealers and others
passed and repassed. No one knew
what was said, and no one seemed to
notice them. At a favorite moment
they entered the station and smilingfy
greeted Mamie. 1t all seemed natural.
Some trivalities were exchanged, and
when Luther Odell waved his hand to
the engineer, both were Oh the train,
bound for their respective places of
business. Ira went on to the city to
report to his house, and John stopped
off at his post to assume his accus-
toned duties.
Only the day before this Walter
Crook had gone to the city with three
carloads of stock-hogs, cattle and
sheep. He was delayed several days
in disposing of them advantageously.
1t was a pleasant surprise to meet
one day at the stockyards, his old ac-
quaintance, Ira Connell. They talked
of everything under the sun but bus
mess and love, and when night came
walked together, towards the city. It
was a long walk, but both professed
that they preferred . it. for old ac-

pared with April, 1900. During tho
past two weeks. however, the marks
has steadied and there is much more
trading. Moderate buying is done by
worsted mills.
After declining within sixteenth OF
four cents, 1t was not surprising to see
cotton recover cent. The oversold
condition Of the speculative market
was chiefly responsible. and southern
dispatches gave support by statements
of unfavorable planting conditions.
Supplies were against any pronounced
rise in prices. however, and conditions
at mills continue extremely depress-
ing, Aggressive manipulation OF corn
forced prices to an unreasonable point,
from which the fall was severe; and
wheat also weakened, although exports
from the Atlantic coast continued lib
eral. Pork products did not show the
usual sympathy with corn when it re-
acted for Chicago operators absorbed
offerings readily.
Commercial failures in the first quar-
ter of 1901 were 1895 in number and
$31. 7GS, 4S6 in amount of defaulted IL
abilities, of which TO were in manu-
featuring for $12,504, 222, and 2,468 in
trading for s14,552, s06 with 157 others,
not properly included in either class,
that owed $4,441, $3.50. While exceeding
the same three months OF last year in
number failures were much smaller in
amount; conan ercial and financial in
solveneies together showing a decrease
of s21, 592,1S0
Only two years of the last twenty
made better showing either
in aggregate or average indebt-
edness to each failure; while
the proportion of s26.74 to each firm in
business, and s1.09 to each $1,000 of
solvent, payments through clearing
houses are records that were surpassed
but once in two decades. For the
month of March total liabilities were
much smaller than in the correspond
ing month of any year since monthly
statements were first published. These
figures indicate most undeniably that
the new century has opened with bust
ness on no uncertain foundation.

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YORK, April 5.-iDuns Weekly
Review of Trade tomorrow will say:
While the general business world
has looked with amazement at the per
Torrance of the stock market, trade
has maintained its even course, and
there are many more points of gain
than of loss, with even slightly
steadier tone in the dry goods mar
ket. There some sellers have with
drawn offers at recent low prices,
though buying is small as yet. Col
lections in all lines are unusually
prompt and in the building trades con-
tracts have been entered into suffic-
lent to furnish a decided impetus in
allied lines during the spring season.
NO sign of lessening demand is per-
cepti3le in any branch of the iron and
steel industry. Mills are accepting
contracts for the closing months of the
year and there is every indication that
1901 will surpass all records in the
quantity of pig iron consumed by man
ufacturers. Though capacity has been
wonderfully enlarged during the past
five months, there are still many ex-
tensions and new plants contemplate
ed. 1t is also probable that the Gus
tOmary summer repairs of furnaces
and mills will be accomplished within
shorter period than usual as con-
tracts call for heavy deliveries right
through the season. Permanence of
prosperity in this industry is becoming
more certain as there is less evidence
of Undated prices. Regular quotations
have not altered, except for bars and
foundry pig iron, although all sorts of
premiums are paid where prompt ship
ment is required. Although fewer
ovens are active in the Connellsville
region than year ago, the output is
much larger and about three million
tons were made during the quarter.
Shipments of boots and shoes from
Boston are steadily increasing, the last
weeks movement reaching "a ,453 cases,
against 92,975 in the previous week
and S9,034 year ago. Quotations are
steady, but it is feared that the recent
declines in leather and hides will
make it possible for the small shoe
manufacturers to cut prices when they
are compelled to seek new business.
An unexpected demand has appeared
for russell shoes, equalling last years
business, despite the fact that these
lines were conidered less popular. The
circular of Coates Bros, on April list.

Bad news? Thinking! That ex-

He could not understand it. There
was surely some mistake, and that day
he worked like one in trance, scarce
ly knowing how the moments passed,
and as soon as the paper was on the
press, he closed his room and went di-
rectly to her home. There he was met

she brought back his card with the
message on the back, Miss knight is

| At the entrace he met the matron
and was ushered into the office while
the secretary was called, and he stood
pale and trembling for moment as
in the person of the secretary he recog-

she, too, was pale. For a moment
only 1t was thus and then his deep,
calm voice broke the quiet with:
Il would like to get report of the

was equally calm.

There was nothing doing in the
New York stock market yesterday, and
to-day will be OF like nature, with no
chance of obtaining regular quotations
until Monday. There was even a
dearth of market gossip yesterday, the
frasmentary kilograms passing over
the wires being merely of specuia-
tive nature, and not worth repeating
because not backed up by actual ig-
ures.
The local clearing house business
well maintained its high rate for the
week, the totals of exchanges for Ave
days being s6ss. 5es6S. With anything
like a good business day to-day the

haps passed by few thousand dol

local business circles. trade continuing
active both with jobbers and retailers.
Collections are generally fair. An I'M
usual retail business is to be expect
ed in some lines to-day, because OF
