productions, says that this is one of the best in the production. Is she over sanguine? If not, this is another instance of picture going for mere penny, to be resold some day for a fortune.
 There is one picture we call your par ticular attention to- ''Venice' cataloged I5 It is said to be by the master Elem. It Is unsigned, SO many contend that 1t is simply the work of one of his best pupils; that like Reubens, he simply laid out the plan inspired the idea, transmitted his genius through the pupil transmitted as- plratlon into achievement, so to speak Even at that 1t is marked at too little; some day, somewhere, proof may be forth coming that 1t Is genuine Ziem-then 1t will fetch dollar for each copper it brings now
 But there are plenty of other pictures to go at half, besides these Hunting Dogs by Williams, he famous for his dog paintings; Russian Peasant Wedding by M. A. Piotrowsky, exhibited at. Paris and awarded the second class medal

Textile Markets Quiet.

Textile markets are quiet although rep- resentatives of the jobbing trade are most favorable except at some southern points Cotton mills are busy as rule but un- certainty as to the future of the raw material tends to unsettle prices. Spe- cialties have been put on the market with fair degree of success. Heavy goods for China are in better inquiry all though the views of settlers Is still above prices offered. Home buying of fine yarn goods increases. Print cloths are nomi- nally three cents and scarce for near delivery Woolen mills are working over time and have much business in sight More linens opened at slightly lower fg- ures than a year ago, which was natu- ral in view of the difference in the cost of raw material. Raw wool is strength ened by the higher price secured at the London sale.
 Footwear holds firmly to the advance reported last week with only moder- ate volume of business. Sole leather is firm with stocks low but some other varieties are slightly easier.
 Leather Has Declined.
 Betting butts and harness leather have declined fully a cent. Upper leather Is fairly steady, concessions being chief ly to move large lots. Exports sales of hemock to England are liberal Hides are still declining. especially for imported goods. Hesitation Is general in the mar kets for staple products. There is no longer the reckless buoyancy conspicuous a short time ago.
 Meats have weakened especially lard and dairy products are also less inflated.
 Raw sugar stiffened owing to restricted arrivals which are natural since Cuban holders await favorable tariff arrange ments and bounty discussion affects con- ditions in Europe Cotton is nottreceiv- ing the support anticipated. reports of ex- haused stocks on plantations being refut- ed by undiminished receipts
 Failures for the week numbered 301 in the United States against 306 last year and In Canada 2S against 46 last week.

puN's REVIEW.

New York. January 24.-R. c. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Conditions of the preceding week were accentuated as a rule, active manufac- turing plants becoming still more busily engaged, while the downward tendency of prices was not checked. Retail trade is of immense volume and jobbers have inn mense spring orders to flll. Western cities send the most satisfactory returns, but nearly all sections are enjoying whole some activity. even the south showing ev- idence of improvement.
 Conditions in the iron and steel indus try are shown by record-breaking produc- tion at many plants and rapid increase of facilities at others. When orders for rails cannot be taken because delivery is desired before the last quarter of the year, 1t would seem that new figures of output were assured for 1902. Structural mills are equally well occupied. Plates and sheets are available more promptly owing to enlarged capacity of mills De- spite the pressure for nearly all steel products and pig iron there is no ten deney to force quotations, but rather a stubborn resistence to every upward movement. This feature of the market is watched most intently as the abnormal activity would lose it's ch1er value as an indication of prosperity of business was stimulated by excessive prices. 1nciden- tally, foreign competition would also be invited and mills abroad are in position to take full advantage of any such op- norfuuftN

The fact that rains have been general
east Of the Mississippi river during the

many to believe that the Texas rains were
not included In that states report but in
