DUN's TRADE REVIEW.
Conditions Show Marked Improve
r1lent.

New York, Aug. 16.-R. G. Dun
& Cos. weekly review of trade will
say:
The distribution of merchandise has
proceeded this week on steady and
satisfactory scale throughout the east,
and in the west and southwest the re-
lief from the long drought and heat is
beginning to be reflected in. larger
retail trade, so that for the quarter
there is promise of larger business
than last year. Crop conditions in the
territory most affected by the recent
drought are improving, and the
weather has been highly favorble IN
nerly all districts east of the Missou-
ri river, though rains have interrupt
ed the spring wheat harvest.
The steel strike has affected prices
extensively, particularly on sales for
Immediate delivery. In tin plates the
advance has been greatest, while
hoops, sheet and billets are sold at
premiums. Quotations are too erratic
for accurate record and i'll many cases
sales are at private terms. Confidence
is steadily shown by placing of dis
tant deliveries at regular prices. Con-
sumption has undoubtedly been fur
ther curtailed this month, but reviv-
al of export tends to prevent accumu-
lation.
Official figures of conditions were
far more hopeless than even the most
pessirnistic anticipations, indicating
only about 1000, 900 bushels Of wheat
and corn together.
Cotton prospects have materially i'm
proved, and with average weather dur
Ing the next few weeks there is rea-
son to expect a yield equal to, if not
larger than the one preceding. Pick
ing will be about three weeks later
than usual, and the high wages and
scarcity of labor may cause some loss.
Financially the south is in better
position than ever before; planters
have mortgaged less of their crop than
usual, and the banks will not draw on
New York as heavily as heretofore.

They are shod with iron, and when
released, they drop end-foremost into
the mud at the bottom of the river,
and hold the boat steady while the
shovel is at work. When it is desired
to remove to new location, the
spuds are lifted by machinery, the
boat is released and is allowed to drift
with the tide or is dragged along by
the shovel which is lowered to the
bottom of the river, and is used to
drag the boat forward or push it back
ward. But the moral of the story IS
this: During the '93 storm, Capt.
Emory says, the wind blew with sQch
violence that the eight spuds on his
machine were snapped like pipe stems,
and the whole outfit went whlrllng
out into the marsh. It was during
this storm that the Pilot Boy steamer
found lodging high up on one OF the
streets of Beaufort, thirty feet above
the averge height OF the water in the
river.

other notes about this land of the

Getting Ready to Leave Pekin.

Pekin, Aug. 16.-The troops Of the
powers have not evacuated the public
buildings. The British and Ameri-
cans propose to occupy the Temple OF
Heaven and the Temple of Agriculture
until their barracks are ready.
Sir Earnest Satow, the British min
lister. thinks it would not be wise to
withdraw before the protocol has been
signed in conjunction with the Chi
nese plenipotentiaries, as Withdrawal
would remove the chief inducement
to the Chinese to sign.
The japanese still hold the north
ern section of the city. 1t is consider
ed significant of their relations with
the Chinese that japanese colonel has
been elected to command and organize
the Chinese police.
The opinion is growing that the
court will refuse to return so long as
the powers maintain such large forces
in the province of Chi Ii. The pro-
tocol does not provide for the destruc-
tion Of the forts. the ministers of the
powers having failed to agree on this
point.

A DREAM.

twas on a night when heavy clouds
The azure sky had hid,
] saw in dreams beneath the>sods
Ny darling boy now dead.
Oh such dream! it made my blood
Within my veins run cold:
They thought his soul had gone
!. to God,
His body fit for mould.
But oh. it was sad mistake,
The boy had fallen asleep,
For now I saw him quite awake
Beneath the sod so deep.
I heard him cry in faintest tone,
My papa, come to me,
I saw his struggles there alone,
I saw him try to see.
Oh what a sight indeed was this
That came beneath my gaze.
Enough to mar angelic bliss
Much less my brain to craze.
I saw it all, and knew too well
How desperate was his case;
I knew, whatever else befell,
That death would come dpaco'
Oh agony. so strong, so deep,
My anguished soul possessed,
It quite aroused me from my sleep,
1 woke, I could not rest.
Was it dream? Suppose my child
In heavy sleep now lay! :,
The thought drove me to frenzy Wllo'
And made me haste away.
At length, quite weary and quite
reach his little mound,
T listen, and my heart is torn.
I hear human sound,
.sMy papa! Q my papa! Comet
Yes, darling, I'm quite near
To take thee to thy ma and nome,
And thou my heart shalt cheer.
With all my strength, without delay
I quick removed the sod
From where our little darling lay,
But he was gone to God.
