TRADE REPORT.
New York -Bradstreet's report for

New York -Bradstreet's report for
last week says:
The general situation was without
important change, the events OF the
week appearing to accentuate hereto
fore prevailing conditions. Distribu-
tive trade and speculation In securl-
ties continue large In volume with
prices rising in the more favored In
dustries or dropping in those suffering
from suppression. AS types VI these
movements the iron and cotton gods
industries were eminent ard these
two seem like opposite poles, so
marked Is the difference in trade in
feeling aud conditions. In most other
industries the reports were quite ia
vorab'c notable In this direction De-
ing the lumber, leather and hardware
and implement trades. Western and
southern distributive trade reports are
quite favorable and the reports OF
active demand for dry goods and cloth
the reports of dull business and the
receding prices Of print cloths.

first hands.
Railway returns continued highly
favorable, confirming reports hereto
fore published OF activity In general
shipping. and reports OF shortage of
cars, strange one at this time Of
year. come from Chicago and other
large centers. Clearings are Of heavy
volume and in this, ~ in nearly all
other branches OF trade Improvement,
present records surprising d. pre-
viously recorded for this season or
the year.
Conditions in the domestic iron and
steel demand recall the boom OF 1889,
and 1t becomes more and more evident
that an enormous consumptive de-
mand. discouraged by the high prices
OF year ago. is now coming freely
into the market.
Wool is in larger sale and foreign
markets are quite strong. Eastern
stocks are said to be small and de-
clining and the situation is gradually
readjusting itself.
The government report of wheat in
farmers hands pointing to 10000, 600
bushels tess now held than a year ago,
was regarded as a bullish feature and,
counted with the light northwestern
receipts, caused rise. which was,
however, taken advantage Of to realize

slight. Wheat, including -four ship

How To Hang Pictures.

For pictures to hang nicely, especE
ly small water colors, it Is essential
that they should not hang forward
from the wall. In a well lighted room
there is little If any advantage to De
gained by allowing the paintings On
the wall to project in the old-fashonea
ugly way. The very best, and, on the
whole, the cheapest. manner of going
to work is to have picture moldins
or picture rail round the top of tne
wall and hang pictures from this .!
