TRADE REVIEW.
A Number os Factors Serve to Give
the Situation AN Encour-
aging Aspect.

New York, April PR g. Dun & Co. S
Weekly Review of Trade says: Favor
able crop reports, heavy bank clearlngs,
record breaking railroad earnings, a large
distribution of spring and summer goods
and easy collections give the business situ-
alton an encouraging aspect. Wall street
speculation does not yet discount any ap-
preaching reaction IN commercial lines,
and the money market seems to nave
turned the corner, at least for the present
Cotton and Wcolen goods retain their gain
of last week, though partly on account of
the idleness CT many mills. The wool mar
ket is steady, notwithstanding the absence
OF demand from large producers OF goods.
Aside from the uneaSinesS caused by labor
controversies. no setback has appeared lr
the leading industry. Conditions of supply
and demand are similar to those existing
for the past few months; in some lines pur-
chasers are increasingly importunate,
While in others there is slightly less
urgency for prompt shipment. but in all
branches of iron and steel manufacture re-
qulrements are much in excess of available
stocks. Recent evidence of large grain
crops has brought agricultural implement
makers into the market for bars and many
have contracted for their entire years
supply. Another feature was the greater
activity in structural material for bridges
and buildings. while the large tonnage OF
steel rails already placed did not prevent
further orders. The recent advance in
plates failed to diminish business. Faith
in the future is evidenced by more plans
for the erection of new mills with enor-
nous capacity.

SHAMROCK II. LAUNCHED.
Challenger for Americans Cup Takes
to the Water in the Presence of
a Good Crowd.

Dumbarton, April %. Shamrock II.
was satisfactorily launched Saturday
at Dennys yards, in the presence of
a good crowd of invited guests, news
paper men and employees. Lady Duff
ferin christened the new challenger,
which looked spick and span in it's
coat of white paint, trimmed with
green, while the manganese bottom
of the new boat shone like mirror.
Lord and Lady Dufferin, Sir Thomas
Upton and others who came from
Glasgow on special train stood upon
a raised platform decorated with
union jacks, the stars and stripes and
the Irish flag and with venet tian masts
in green and white, which were the
prevailing colors.
Throughout the weather could not
have been better. The sun shone
brightly and overeoats had been dis
carded. The employees Of the Dennys
had holiday. and in fact all Dunn
barton was en- fete to see Lady Duff
ferin break the bottle over the curious
ly snub-nosed bow of the boat. The
British experts are very confident
about the new boat and think her the
best that ever challenged for the cup.
But if you don't win,' said the cor
respondent of the press to Sir Thomas
Upton, will you try it again ~
Il expect next year to build de-
fender, not challenger, was the
Diplomatic answer.

HUSBAND AND WIFE.
A Veteran of the Civil War, Tells an
Interesting Story.

Efingham, ILL.,, April % Especially.
-Uriah S. Andriek is now 67 years of
age. Mr.. Andrick served through the
whole of the Civil War. He was wound
ed, three times by ball, and twice by
bayonet.
When he entered the service of his
country in 1861, he was hale and
hearty, and weighed 1913 pounds. Since
the close of the war, however, Mr.. An
drick has had very bad health.
For fifteen years, he never lay down
in bed for over an hour at time. He
had acute Kidney Trouble, which grew
into Bright's Disease. His heart also,
troubled him very much.
On Oct. 18th, 1900, he was weighed,
and weighed only 10a pounds, being but
a shadow of his former self. He COM
menced using Dodd's Kidney Pills on
the Goth of last December, and on Feb.
goth was again weighed, and weighed
LAG pounds. He says:
Il have spent hundreds of dollars
and received no benefit, until on the
Goth of December last, I purchased one
box of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I am
cured, and am free from any pain. I
have not the slightest trace of the
Bright's Disease, and can sleep well
all night. I was considered hopeless
case by everybody, but to-day I am a
well man, thanks to Dodd's Kidney
Pills.
''For the last sixteen years my wife
has been in misery with bearing down
pains, pains in the lower part of the
abdomen and other serious ailments.
When she saw what Dodd's Kidney
Pills were doing for me she COM
menced to use them. She now feels
like another woman, her pains have all
disappeared and her general health is
better than it has been for years.
She is SO taken up with Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and what they have done for
us that she has gone to Mr. CornwelTs
Drug Store and bought them for some
of her friends for fear that if they
went themselves they might make
mistake and get some thing else''
There is something very convincing
in the honest simple story of this old
veteran and his wife.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are the only
Remedy that ever cured Bright's Dis
ease, Diabetes or Dropsy. They never
fail.

AN ANCIENT PROPHECY,
A Keen Guess Made n Century and a
Half Ago Concerning Amerfca,s
Progress.

A prophecy of the development and
progress of this country, committed
to paper nearly century and half
ago, has recently been unearthed by
G. G. Simpson, of this city. It is con
tanned in an "Almanack," published
by Nathaniel Ames, at Boston. New
England" in ''the Year of our Lord
Christ, 1853, being the second year
after Bissextile or Leap-Year, in the
31st Year of the Reign of King George
H.
The prophecy reads:
Here we find vast Stock of proper
Materials for the Art and Ingenuity
of Man to work upon: Treasures of
immense Worth; conceald from the
poor aboriginal Natives! The Curious
have observ'd that the Progress of
Humane Literature Qike the Sun) is
from the East to the West; thus has
it travelled thro' Asia and Europe,
and now is arrived at the Eastern
Shore of America. As the Celestial
Light of the Gospel was directed here
by the Finger of GOD, it will doubt
less, finally drive the long! longt
Night of Heathenism Darkness from
America:-So Art and Sciences will
change the Face of Nature in their
tour from Hence over the Appala-
chan Mountains to the Western
Ocean: and as they march thro' the
vast Desert, the Residence of wild
Beasts will be broken up and their
obscene Howl cease for ever;-in-
stead of which, the Stones and Trees
will dance together at the Music of
Orpheus,-the Rocks will disclose
their hidden Gems,-and the inestim-
able Treasures of Gold and Silver be
broken up. Huge Mountains of Iron
Ore are already discovered; and vast
Stores are reserved for future Gener-
ations: This Metal more useful than
Gold and Silver, will employ Millions
of Hands, not only to form the mar
tial Sword and peaceful Share, alter
nate1y; but an Infnity of Utensils
Improved in the Exercise of Art, and
Handicraft amongst Men Nature
thro' all her Works has stamp'd au-
thority on this Law, namely, "That
all fit matter shall be improved to it's
best purposes" Shall not then those
vast Quarries, that TEEN with me-
chanic Stone, those for Structure
be piled into great cities,-and those
for Sculpture into Statues to perpet-
uate the Honor of Renowned Heroes;
even those who shall now save their
Country.-O. ye unborn Inhabitants
of America! Should this Page escape
it's destin'd Confagration at the
Years End, and these Alphabetical
Letters remain legible,- when your
Eyes behold the Sun after he has
rolled the Seasons round for two or
three Centuries more, you will know
that in Ammo Domini 175s we dream'd
