COMMERCIAL REVIEW.


R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review OF
trade says:
"All the Atlantic coast business con-
tinues temporarily checked by the storm,
and some interior points are suffering
from unfavorable weather, but consump-
tive demands give no evidence of abate-
ment. Prices of perishable goods adj
vanced sharply. and the whole range Of
staple commodities tended upward.
'Jobbing trade in spring lines of wear
ing apparel is of ample proportions, and
all heavy hardware and products Of iron
feel the pressure in that industry
Prices of pig iron have made decided
advances, despite the opposition of lead
ing interests. Railway supplies and
structural material are still the most
eagerly sought of finished steel prod
icts. Cotton added a small fraction to
its price and ruled quiet during the week
at the highest position of the crop year

A POOL OF BLOOD
Which Attracted the Attention of Su-
 perstitious Citizens.

Everything goes in streaks in Phoenix" said a citizen who. coming down street early yesterday morning. met another in front of Bob Dolls. The mortified gaze of both was fixed upon what seemed pool of blood of ever in- creasing volume. We've already had three bloody tragedies this week." con tinued the citizen, 'and here comes an- other. I've noticed for a long time that that is the way 1t goes in this town. If there is one fire there is al- ways a series of them. One murder or suicide is followed by hall a dozen of them. Now I wonder who has been killed in there and how much more he is going to bleed.''
 The citizen was right in his theory that everything goes in streaks in Phoenix. The color was going out of Dolls carnival decorations in streaks. running acress the sidewalk and being wasted in the gutter. The bunting hung limp on the building and was rapidly becoming colorless. But there was one thing about the decora tions that the wet weather could not daunt. That was the stuffed eagle which how cred over the highest point of the building. With head and wings out stretched he seemed to be reveling in the storm, and the fiercer the down pour the more the eagle looked as if he were going to scream. But he nei- ther screamed nor flew, but remained all day with his feet glued to the perch.
 MT. Doll said that he was not wor- ried by the devastation caused among his decorations by the rain; he only hoped that the impression would not spread that any of the water got into the building and mixed up with his stock in trade.
 All over town the decorations for the carnival hung limp and lifeless. There is no loss, though. without compensa- tion. The decorations have not been entirely ruined and will still make a brave showing. The compensation cones in the feeling of prosperity which the rain will disseminate among the people of the valley. The executive committee Of the Eagles believes that the populacc will loosen up fifty per cent more than it would have done |; there had been no rain. It is estimated that the rain was worth at least $1OO.- coo to the valley. IL is not unreasona- ble to suppose that part of that sum will be spent on the carnival

Dick Henry. COIored.

Richard j. Henry. one of the most
highly esteemed colored men of At
lanta, is dead. Henry who was com
monty known as Dick, was employed
by Major Livingston Minis, who took
him to Atlanta after the dissolution of
the Savannah firm in which Gen.
Joseph E. Johnston and Maj. Minis We're
interested. Henry may be recalled by a
number of Savannahians, notwith-
standing that it was some twenty-five
years ago that he left.
His funeral was largely attended.
Major Minis who is now mayor of At
lanta, and his accomplished wife were
present as mourners. That he mourned
Dick" as a faithful friend and servant
all Southern men knew. Before the
services ended he was called upon to
speak. Major Minis said in part:
He was ever doing charity and kind
ness to all sorts of people. He was,
indeed, model husband and father
a good citizen and a loyal and devoted
friend, and a Christian gentleman. To
me his offices of concern and thought
fulness were constant and grateful.
In the course Of nature he should
have survived me and | always felt
that If he did there was no living man
on whom l could better rely for kind
ness and care for my family. | can
point to no one whose daily life and
character affords a better and more
commendable example to all men to
emulate than his"

SAINT AND JOSS IN NEW YORK.
A Comparison of Christian and Bull.
dhist Observances.

Comparison of Christian and Bud-
dhist Observances.
From the New York Evening Post
Long-ago missionaries, whose chron-
ologic notions were a little bit con-
fused, declared that Buddhism was a
palpable imitation of, if not a deliber-
ate steal from. Christianity. Besides
the similarities in tenet were those in
ritual and ceremony. This likeness may
be seen by any New Yorker for him
self. The heavy immigration of Ne
apolitans and SiciIians has produced
several little Italys in New York, which
celebrate the festas of home with more
enthusiasm even than is observed in
the Fatherland. A feature of these
tive candles to patron saints and to
the Virgin.
On the other hand, in Chinatown
nearly every grocery store carries a
stock of Oriental votive candles, which
are presented to Buddha; the Goddess
of Mercy, Qwang Yin; the God of War,
Qwang I'll, and the God of Literature,
Man Mo-Mew. These candles are made
to suit all tastes, as we'll as all con-
ditions of the pocketbook. They range
from poor, cheap, little red affairs like
the Christmas tree candles, up to
stately creations, four, five and six
feet in length. The Italians use both
red and white, while the Chinese con-
fine themselves almost exclusively to
red They use white and yellow upon
special occasions, white candle being
symbolic of death, and a yellow one
of heaven, or the Son of Heaven, who
is the emperor of the Celestial King
DOM
Formerly both the Chinese and Ital-
importing merchants. In the last few
months the manufacture has sprung
up in this city and now attains fair
proportions. In many respects the
New York candles are better bits of
workmanship than the imported ones.
The latter are usually softer and greas-
Ter than the former and produce
smoking light. The homemade are
manufactured from stearin, paraffin or
wax, although the last named sub
stance is growing into disuse. The
finest quality imported from China are
made from insect wax specially per-
fumed, while one variety of the Italian
imported is made from clarified wax of
fine quality, perfumed with the mild
scent of blossoms.
Both Italian and Chinese employ a
candle that is really a shell within
which the candle itself is placed and
held in position by means of helical
spring at the bottom of the shell. These
shells are often profusely decorated
and are strikingly handsome. The
Italians prefer as concentrations leaf
