SHOWS IMPROVEMENT.
slight Change for the Better Appar-
emit In Condition of Gem
ernl Trade.

New York, Jan. 19.-R. G. Dun e.
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: "Tn
most directions the condition OF general
business has improved slightly this week.
Prices OF staple commodities are steady,
as are most manufactured goods. Or

volume, and that pronounced easy money

ness is shown by bank exchange at
leading cities outside New York, for the
week 142 per cent larger than in 1900
and lis per cent. above 1899 At New
York the record is a gain of H.3 per cent
over 1900 and 1913 per cent. over 1899 Re-
tail trade has not declined as much as
usual since the holidays. Steadiness is
the chief characteristic of the iron and
steel industry. The past week has
brought no new developments of strik-
ing Importance, and quotations are UNI
changed. There Is a notable lack of new
contracts coveriT large operations, but
many small offers are placed and mills
are well occupied on old business that in
most cases will take months to complete
even If nothing further offers. On this
account there is no urgency about secur-
ing orders.
Failures for the week were 325 in the
United States, against 42 last year, and
43 In Canada, against 10 last year"
Bradstreet's says: Speculation has
Jagged, but trade on spring accodnt has
on the whole improved this week. South
ern and southwestern trade is opening
up satisfactorily and there are better re-
ports received even from the northwest
as to the outlook for spring business.
AS to retail distribution, conditions are
hardly so favorable. The third week of
January ends with weather conditions
unfavorable to retail demand for wool
ems, rubbers and footwear, and the de-
mand for household sizes of coal has
quieted somewhat. On the other hand,
the open season has helped the distribu-
ton of hardware, paints and glass, and
an advance of nearly one-third is report
ed in window glass, Lumber appears to
have been active at the west, and whole
salers have done more at the east, but
the export trade lags in this line as in
others. Northwest wheat receipts have
been heavy, and the so-called Wall street
interest has been reported to have been
liquidating. Corn receipts are also heav-
Ter and prices are lower, partly also In
sympathy with the decline in wheat,
which is now four cents off from the top
of the January rise. Flour is duh, but
the decline of 10 to 20 cents per barrel
has tended to help export business"

The Changeling Child.
The Scientific Explanation Of
the Change Formerly At
tributed to the Fairies.

In folk lore stories there is frequent
mention of changelings children who
were changed by fairy influence. Some
loving wife and proud husband found
their child weak Of body, and some
times weak of mind. 1t grew up to
be fretful, sullen and perhaps spiteful
1t seemed impossible that love could
bring such child into the world.
So the child was called fairy change
ling, a child substituted by the fairies
for one whom in their envy for its lovli-
ness they had carried away.
We hear no more of fairy stories.
Stern science says that healthy and
lovely children must have healthy par
ents, and that when the mother in her
days of waiting and anticipation is
