formers. including the representative of the
Virgin, hold their music frankly before them;
but the audience sees no incongruity in it, and
it seems only to add to the artless simplicity OF
the whole impression
Not far removed from this churchly operate
performance is the dance OF the Seises which
is given in Seville Cathedral three times year
another survival Of very ancient manner OF
religious observance; a dreamy, fantastic scene.
the effect heightened by the dim religious dark
ness, the sumptuous crimson curtains and
draperies striped with gold, the huge silver
candIesticks and the thickly clouding incense
The dancers are ten boys dressed in blue silk
coats striped with gold with puff sleeves. short
capes, streamers scarves, and white silk shoes
and stockings The music is simple and sweet
its quality may be judged from the specimen
Of it that Mr.. Vivian gives in notation; the
priests and boys sing it, and, still singing the
latter begin their dance. 1t is at first slow in
movement, a sort OF pavane, Mr. Vivian
thinks; two steps slowly forward till the two
rows Of dancers face each other, then pirOuette
by the boys al the ends, sending caps and
streamers flying in the air. Then comes the
sound of the castanets. and the dance becomes
faster and more complicated finally verging
into a circular figure. The finish is abrupt as
though the conductor the archbishop had
suddenly grown tired Of II and had given the
signal to stop. In the Ethiopian Church the
religious dance has survived with even more
of barbaric magnifcence. There the dance is
like a gymnastic exercise by the priests, all
holding a crutchlike implement by the middle
which they pose swing right and left and dart
forward as if trying to tease a snake the
floor, at the same time nodding their heads
and chanting louder and louder.
Mr. Vivian has many other curious and in
teresting things to tell of, some Of which are
not unfamiliar, such the whirling dervishes
of Constantinople, and he describes some Of the
curious religious organizations, such the
Trappists, well known as the yotaries Of eter-
nal silence and their feminine counterparts, the

Vivian contents himself with lively account
OF its picturesque features-the procession Of

the other Marys. with cardboard ha,os angels,
with sashes and cardboard wings; Apostles, and
even the three persons Of the Trinity. The

set himself to Investigate tho relations between
Toscanelli and Columbus and after long and
perSevering research he was amazed TO find .hat

saw that IL was forgery and asked himself for

Staff Of Life Being Sent Into the
"Grauary Of Utah."
AN UNUSUAL CONDITION.
Caused by Three Years OF Drouth aud
the Ravages OF the Grasshopper
Pest-Oats aud Flour.

For the FIRST time In my recollec-
tlon,' said leading grain dealer to-
day, at has been found necessary to
ship wheat into Sanpete, the former
boasted 'granary of Utah. Just now
the staff Of life, so-called, is very
scarce there occasioned by the severe
drouth which has obtained for the past
three years and by the further allie
ton of the grasshopper pest which has
been something terrific this season.
particularly in and about Mant, Eph-
rain and contiguous sections.
II don't desire to give out the i'm
preston that there is want in Sanpete
but the supply has been cut down
enormously by the causes have men,
toned and besides, threshing has not
yet commenced there and I presume IT
has been found necessary TO call for
wheat from the outside to supply the
present needs. But the wheat shortage
is going to be very great in sanpete
county this year anyway Whether ii
will have anything to ship out, | sup
pose is not known now, But the fact
that shipping in at this time is going
on is in and of itself an anomaly"
New wheat is now moving quite free
ly on the local market and the supply
seems quite equal to the demand at
figures ranging from 80 to 50 cents.
Flour prices are about as last week,
sl.f0, $3.50 and Sl40. The recent de-
mand for oats has caused many farm
ers TO thresh that in advance Of their
wheat. They are finding ready sale for
It at Sl.55 to SLIGO retail, and $l.4O 10
sl.45 wholesale.

New York, Aug, lG.-R. g. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review Of trade tomorrow will
say; The distribution OF merchandise
has proceeded this week on steady
and satisfactory scale throughout the
East and In the West the relief from
the long drohth and heat is beginning
to be reflected In the larger retail trade,
so that for the quarter promise is held
out for larger business than last year
Crop conditions IN the territory most
aected by the recent drouth are improy-
ing, and the weather has been highly
favorable in nearly all districts east Of
the Missouri river though rains have
interrupted the spring wheat harvest.
The United States steel strike has
affected prices extensively. particularly
on sales for immediate delivery. In tin
plates the advance has been greatest.
While hoops, sheets, skelp and bilets
are sold at premiums Quotations are
too erratic for accurate record, and In
many cases sales are at private terms.
Confidence is steadily shown by placing
of distant deliveries at regular prices
New England boot and shoe factories
are still actively engaged, and the sta
bility Of prices remains feature. New
York and western shops are equally
busy, Jobbers complaining of slow ueliv-
cries, This Is the season OF greatest de-
mand for boots, and there is fair
volume of business, but each year de-
crease in output appears Leather sells
freely, but without change in price,
while slightly lower bids for hides will
probably secure large lots.
Wooden mills have full employment,
as rule, and the increased consump-
ton of raw material tends to harden
the tone OF the wool market, although
no change Is possible.
Official figures of corn conditions were
FAR more hopeless than the most pes
simistic anticipations, indicating only
about 1000 900, 900 bushels of wheat aud
corn together. Inflated prices brought
out receipts for the week of 1859 705
bushels, against 2O32, 1893 bushels last
year and reduced Atlantic exports TO
6Sl, 500 bushels compared with 1885,, 1885
bushels year ago and 1904, 1902 bushels
IN 1900
Wheat also advanced sharply, but
there Is sound argument for strength
In Atlantic exports during the last two

90l bushels in 1900, and 4,O66646 bushels
