NOTES.


One step is not much in "A long walk.
1t leads, however. to another, and so it
goes on as we proceed-certainly without
too much hurry along the dusty road
leading to Perfection. When shall we
get there? All, who knows! There are
however, some distinct stages on the
way. We started in the dark for "A night
march across the desert Of Barbarism.
We are just emerging therefrom. At
least we hope so: the darkness is dispell
ed and the daylight appearing. And
the travellers are really beginning to
know and to understand each other a
little better than when they set out.

From this intercourse it must follow

That most fascinating book, THE
Arabian Nights Entertainment, is not
The work of any oue man or men. but
simply II compilation of Arabian folk
lore tales, doubtless old in the hazaars
by professional raconteurs so often as
to make them history. These tales have
suffered many alterations and in their
present form show traces of translation
to Egyptian soil. The date of the ac,
cepted version is not earlier than 1850
a. d. The book was first introduced
into Europe through a translation from
Arabic into the French by one Antoine

A great many persons are troubled
with pimples on the face. which are un-
slightly at best. and especially annoying
when they come. as they often do. on
the nose. OF course they arise from
some impurity of the blood and need
constitutional treatment. but until this
is obtained a safe and easy way of pre-.
venting them is TO apply arnica TO the
skin. A pimple never comes without
warning. A few hours before there is
always II slight Inflammation or swell
ing, and If n drop Of arnica be applied
to the spot when the swelling begins
half n dozen applications in the course
of a day will drive the plmple back un.

The man or woman who has been rails
ed in the orthodox religions OF the times
has many things to unlearn. They have
to learn that the religion of Christ. beau
tiful and enobling as it is, is not the
religion on earth. When they become
broad enough to realize hat Truth has
come to earth at other times and through
other inspired teachers, then will the
horizon of their religious life begin To

The American people can think
quicker and more to the point than any
other people in the world. This state
ment was made recently In II New
York newspaper. but the reason given
was wide of the mark. The Anne lean
people read in the aggregate ten times
more than any other people. The Amer
lear boy gets his inspiration, his cuer
getic disposition. his ambition. his
keen snapshot judgment and his quick
wit largely from his readiug-und very
largely from his newspaper reading.
The poise and culture and refinement
and sOlidity come later in life from
the reading of books and magazines
and from contact with men and things.
1t is the American newspaper which
sets the initial pace. Push and pluck
are contagious, and more germs are
hatched in the average American
newspaper a;acc than anywhere else

Manchester Market.

Manchester, March % The refusal
OF the outlets abroad to respond to the
tirmness here caused ar unsatisfactory
turnover on the cloth market last
week Nevertheless. the market con-
tinues to DE strong and buyers had to
pay stiff1y for anything required.
There is a general feeling that the
prices of cloth are too low in COM
parison with the prices of cotton. If
the latter prices are maintained, as
seems probable. and with the further
curtailment in the production of yarns
and the strengthening of values, there
is no prospect of lower cloth prices.
Some business in light goods and
specialties was transacted from India
and the eventual outlook is fairly
hopeful, and the satisfactory tenor of
the recently published Indian budget
justifying that view. The low level of
the present offerings is attributed
largely TO distrust of the stability of
cotton values. During the past week a
moderate trade in the better class of
standard makes was transacted with
China at mparatively reasonable fig-
ures. There was some inquiry from
South America with occasional results
and there was some extensive buying
from Chill and Peru.
Yarns have a tendency to harden,
and buyers hesitate to operate largely.
Spinners complain of the unremunera-
tive margin, and that the cost of pro-
ducticni is rarely realized.

BANKER cLEws' VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen from
wall street.

New York, March 22.--Beyond a
quiet and somewhat firmer undertone
there is little change in the financial
situation. In certain respects the out
look appears to be somewhat brighter,
and more confident undertone pre-
walls than two or three weeks ago. This
appears to be entirely due to satisfac-
tory trade conditions. From various
quarters come reports of heavy distri-
button of nearly all classes of mer-
chandise; consumption appears to con-
tinue with unabated activity and the
expectation generally seems to be that
the country will enjoy a good spring
trade.
Speculative operations are still held
in check by absenteeism and the low
condition of the bank reserves. Very
soon the financial leaders who have
been South or elsewhere recuperating
will begin to return, and in April the
money market will be less exposed to
stringency than now.
Our foreign commerce returns de-
serve some attention as they show a
continued change in the drift of our
foreign trade, and a partial cessation
of the enormous trade balances which
have been a feature for several years.
Trading has been largely confined to
the professional element. Specialties
have been sharply advanced here and
there through sheer manipulation, but
10 general upward movement can be
detected. Until money market and
labor uncertainties are out Of the way.
buying must be continued with caution
and discrimination.

WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW.
Cotton Quiet and Easy-Grain Mar
ketS Active and Weak.

Cotton Quiet and Easy-Grain Mar
kets Active and Weak.
Speculation in cotton was not very
active during the past week. The mar
ket was firm early, prices advancing
about II points, May reaching S.9Oc on
Tuesday. due to lighter run of re-
ceipts. Later it became evident that
the falling off in the movement was in
considerable. and this, together with
some relaxation in the spot demand.
resulted in weaker feeling. Bullish
liquidation was in order on Saturday,
causing rather severe slump, the
market finally closing easy at a net de-
cline of u to IA points on the old crop
months, and 10 points on the new. May,
S.67c; July, SS0c; August, $500, Sep
TENDER, Sic.
The amount in sight for the week
was $4,000 bales, against 1866, 900 last
year, 125,000 in 1900, and 14SO00 in 1899.
To date, 9,091,00 bales, against S,7O6, 900
last year. Unless the falling off in the
movement is immediate and decided. it
is probable that prices will decline
further, perhaps materially.
Grain markets were firm Monday
morning on the cold weather out West,
Nay wheat touching I6c at the opening
A weak market followed, and by
Thursday May had got down to- 73hc,
the weakness due to reports of copious
rains where they had been badly need
ed in the Northwest. BY the close the
same day, however, active export de-
mand caused a recovery at the close

bears had matters in their own hands.

closing at nc, a decline of Sac for the
week. Apparently no attention was
paid to the heavy spot business, prices
being down to export basis, and regard
was only had for the improved crop
outlook. Latterly, depressing infiu-
ence was exerted by the actual weak
ness in corn and oats, May corn clos
ing over 4c lower at 5Sbc, and May
oats 39sc lower at 41Ac
The market looks unreasonably over
sold, and the break was due more to
the decentralization of the bulls than to
any really justifying cause. Leading
accepted authorities say crop condi-
tions are not more favorable, and per-
haps less so. Exporters are taking big
blocks. The bullsh features remain as
forceful as ever, and the low price now
makes wheat a tempting investment.
