Berlin, July 2S.-The weekly financial

NO week passes without revealing
outrageous encouragement in some
German STOCK company. A feeling OF

the mercantile classes, growing heavier

III consequence
The NOssIcne Zeitung says: ''Swind-
ling operations like those OF Schmidt

in an era OF financial creuuuty like the
one we have just had"
The National ZeiJUng complains that
the Improvement OF the market Is pre-
Vented Dy growing disurust which is
continually looking for irregularities
and crimes in the management Of com
Sanies."
The some OF the weeks market is
mirrOred in the foregoing quotations.
The causes were the publication of the
condition Of the Leipziger bank, show
irg state of things much mora rotten
tnan had been expected; the Ter Lin
den revelations, which caused heavy
losses to various banks, and forced the
liquidation of the RheiniSChe bank and
of a private bank in Crefeld, the run
on savings bank in Hanover, the cur
tailment OF hours in the. WestphaLian
coal mines, ana, finally. the tariff bill,
which the bourSe regards as a national
calamity.
The only strength the market dis
played was in domestic government
funds. American railway securities
were more active than usual, and there
was special activity in Canadians. This
movement, however. was wholly de-
pendent upon New York, and fiuctuated
sharply.
The German revenues from customs
and internal duties fer the June quar-
ter showed a decline of $500 900 marks.
Germany's foreign trade for the first
six months of this year shows imports
declined 1O6,500.000 marks, and exports
declined $4,000, 900 marks.

Of dilapidation, so great an interest has
the adventures of little 'sWahb" created
in juvenile breasts
Miss Agcott and Lang's fairy stories
are the prime favorites with the little
ones, and the most popular work of fic-
ton just at present is Maurice Thomp-
sons charming story, Alice of Old
Vincennes.'' Eleanor by Mrs. Hum
phry Ward, is also in great demand.
Among the patrons of the library
there are few Japanese and Chinese
but these are pupils of the schools and
students. There are very few Hawaii
ans. The literature perused by the diff
ferent races is about of the same class
as, with the school children, they come
under the direction of the same teach
ers.
The magazine department shows elo-
quent evidence of much appreciation.
Munsey's, Harper's. McClure's, sThe
Century, The Cosmopolitan and such
magazines are all well thumbed and
are most used in the reading room. A
full set of Pools Index is at hand for
reference work
Fiction, naturally, is most popular,
but according to Miss Burbank it is the
higher class of fiction. Dickens, Scott,
Jane Porter and j. Fenimore Cooper
hold first place for steady reading.
Among the additions of the year are
THE Reign of Law" by James Lane
Allen; Sophia by Stanley ]. Wey-

prevailed as to the terms of mem
