Terrible Penance Performed by Ma.
 lives Who Have Made Vows.

Manila Cor. New York Commercial.
 "A person falls i'll, for example. and he promises the Deity that if he gets well he will perform penance of such and such kind during such and such days of Holy Week for so many years. Or. if he has an enemy whom he wishes to get rid of. h0 vows that if this enemy dies he will drag ball and chain or f1agellate himself or perform some other penance on Holy Thursday every year during the rest of his life. Back of the small chapel called 'visita," which exists In every village, begins his penance.
 With his face covered to prevent recog- milton, stripped to the waist. and with no clothing but loose, thin white cotton trousers, one finds him standing with his arms folded. his head bowed forward. and his body bent, while an everyday looking native slaps him on the back till the blood comes into the skin. Then he is spatted with a piece of wood with little metal points in it till his back is macerated and the blood runs freely. Then he starts out on a long days journey from 'vlsita' to vista.
 He is certainly weird and barbaric spectacle, as he silently and slowly stalks along. with covered face. swinging from side to side d cord into the end or which is braided a bunch of sticks about the size of pencils. which strike his pare bleeding back with a loud sound at every step, and macerate 1t so that the blood oozes down and soaks his white trousers.
 At short intervals he prostrates himself in the dust. utters some unintelligible Jar gon. possibly a prayer. while the every day looking citizen pats him on the oacK and on the soles of the feet with nai as he grovels there. Again the outlanu- ish figure goes through grotesaue contor tions or progresses by handsprlnss; w Heu- ever he comes to n stream or ditch he plunges into 1t, and whenever he reaches a visita he grovels before it and spends much time in prayer.

Dun'g Trade Review.

New York. Sept. 1s.-R. G. Dun & Co., s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Business has made moderate progress during the past week despite reports of damage to crops by the elements. Sub seauent corrections indicated that the amount of damage has been exaggerated as usual and prospects frightened
 The years shortage Is beginning to be felt, especially in the Pittsburg district where sufficient labor cannot be secured for handling freight. Manufacturing plants are we'll occupied as a rule, even the textile mills reporting less idle ma chinery and at Chicago there is notable pressure for implements and hardware. Lumber is in better demand as structural activity revives. Payments are season. ably prompt except where late crops de- lay settlements and the outlook for fall and winter business contains much that Is encouraging. Railway earnings thus far reported for September show an av- craze gain of 10.36 over last year. In the iron and steel industry quotations have been declining for some months and a large tonnage of business Is held back in the expectation that still better terms may be offered. Cneasiness over the la Dor situation aggravates the difficulty, al- though latest developments in the build ing trades are encouraging.
 Prices have held fairly steady during the past week. Textile mills are rather more fully employed on the whole, al- though additions have been made to idle cotton machinery. partially offsetting the increased activity of other spindles No developments of importance occurred in the dry goods market. Mills are behind with deliveries. Irregularity continues in woolens with especial dissatisfaction over the condition of worsted for mems wear There are fewer complaints in the shoe trade of late deliveries except on heavy split and grain shoes for which the man ufacturers have large orders on hand and scarcity of skilled labor. Prices are not affecting the situation.
 Failures this week were 2l9 in the United States against 199 last year and 19 in Canada compared with 25 a year ago.

the character of the real that preceded
 the one that was used here. It was is-
 sued In the early part of the eighteenth
 century and was nothing more than an
 irregularly shaped piece of silver rudely
 stamped on both sides by hand. It's
 workmanship was of the crudest char
 acter and was very similar to that Of
 Roman coins of 2OOO years ago, being
 good illustration of the lack Of progress
 siveness of the Spanish in the manufac-
 ture of money as we'll as in other direc- tions.
 Throughout the South and the South
 west the real was known as levy.
 particularly in the cities of New Orleans
 and Baltimore, and many of the older generation there even to this day at
 times unconsciously say levy pound or levy a dozen when speaking of
 prices.
 another name. Here 1t was called
 shilling or more properly. Hork shilling and was so generally used that among certain New Workers a twenty
 fve-cent piece is nowadays more often
 referred to as two shilings' than as quarter
 "In Massachusetts and throughout most of the New England States the real was called by still another name. In this section it was referred to as a ninepence At that time there were in circulation
 throughout the Eastern States. English
 Canadian, Mexican and Spanish pence which naturally resulted in great confu- sion of values.
 Another coin almost as generally used as the real was the half-real. This coin
 was known as a five-penny bit. or tpen-
 nv bit, abbreviated to 'hp.' It was worth IA cents.
 Tt is the common impression that the
 a,4A fVynE NtNV-H pG- cent gold pieces were of United States issue, but this was not the case. During
 the first few years of the gold excite
 ment in California, there was very little
 money of any kind in circulation there,
 the principal circulating medium being gold dust the handling of which was attended by more or less loss and incon- yenience The result was that many min ing companies and other concerns began the manufacture of their own money. mostly in gold, but in some cases tin and copper were used and these coins were | freely accepted at their face value in this sction of the country.
 "These coins when first issued in 1Si9 ! were standard in quantity. but deterior- ae6. until finally they did not contain l more than D per cent. of gold This was | true however. only of the dollar and | fifty and twenty-five cent pieces, as the | ffty-dollar gold pieces, or 'slugs,' as | they were generally known, contained
 even a greater per centage of gold than l thet coins minted by the United States. The dollar and fifty and twenty-five cent | gold pieces were both round and octag- onal in form, and some of them were of
 very handsome design, having been made

 The first coins made by the United States Government-that is, with the ex- ception of a few half dimes issued dur ingathe latter part of 17s2 when the mint was first estabiished-were the cent and a half bronze pieces, these being issued in 1T8. There were at least a dozen de- signs of the cent made in that year. that with the clover leaf now being the scar cest. coins with this pattern being worth almost any figure at which the posses sor may feel inclined to hold them. The following year the dollar. half-dollar and half-dime pieces were issued, the quar- ter-doliar and dime pieces not being made until two years later, in 1196.
 'The next irregular coins to find their way into use were the Jackson or Hard | Times tokens. These were issued by tradesmen from 1887 to 1s41, on account | of the great scarcity of small change. ant were freely accepted. They were in cen and half-cent sizes, and bore political car features and sayings. The metal used 1T thees tokens was principally copper, al | tHOuBu ieW WcEe maoS O4 S1As0 dAS brass.
 | During the civil war small change | again became so scarce on account of a corner being made in the supply by brok CTS that pennies commanded a premium | of % per cent. Tradesmen thereupon is
 sued millions of copper tokens. which were about the size of the cent in use today, these being circulated until the l corner was broken. when their manufac' ture was prohibited and they were with drawn from circulation. These tokens
 numbered nearly 5000 varieties, New Yorl and Cincinnati firms issuing nearly 50 pei cent. of the entire production.
 Here Is a coin," said the dealer, show ing small silver piece a trihe larger than a dime. which not many years agC
 was the standard of value in almost ev
 cry section of the United States. Al 1 though not of our own issue, 1t was fal more in use than the coins of this coun' | try. being known in each different sec ton by a local name.
 This coin Is a Spanish real with 6
 general value of F 1-2 cents. It first came into circulation here in the latter part | of the eighteenth century. As great dea of the commerce of the American colo
 nies was carried on with Spain at tha
 time, and as this country had very little | currency of its own. the real became l more generally circulated than any other | coin.

 The recent issue by the Government of the coins for use in the Philippines, said ga Broadway coin dealer the other day, ..is one more addition to the great variety of irregular currency which has been in circulation from time to time in this coun- try, but at the present is less in use than nt any time since the foundation of the American colonies.
 A.sg Perhaps no country in the world nas N.had more variegated currency than the United States" he continued. Not only ,-has the Government each year minted z. great many coins of different values, but there have been put in circulation many coins of other countries, particularly those of Spain, and her possessions. some of which ion a time have almost entirely ! Superseded our own regular issues. - eUntil i793, when the United States Government first began to make its own specie, the circulating medium of this country was drawn from all parts of the world Not only did the coins of the prin- cipal commercial countries find their way into our channels of trade but nearly Every one of the original colonies turned out coins of it's own To this great mass Of currency was added later on the pro- Auctions of private individuals. no prohi- bion being made apparently to the unlm- fited and indiscriminate manufacture Of money.
 .sThe foreign gold coins in use at that period included Portugese toes. French louis. Spanish doubloons and British gui- meas, while the silver and copper coins numbered several hundred varie- ties, the great majority being of small denomination, their use causing great per. pfexity in determining values.

These coins were made on the miller's toll system, the eoiner receiving a per centage of the coins for his labor So profitable was the scoining business that the story is tolo of inc coiner that he was able to give his daughters weight in silver as her wedding dover.

STILL DISPLAY
 SOME IRREGULARITY.
The Tendency is Still to Take . Fav- orable View of the General Out Look For the Fall
 Trade.

New York, Sept. 1s.-Bradstreets to- morrow will say: Conditions still dis play irregularity, but except where crops and weather developments have been dis tinctively unfavorable, the tendency is still to take a favorable view of the general outlook for fall and winter trade. Heavy rains and killing frosts northwest and in portions of the west with drought followed by unseasonably cool weather and destructive wind and rain storms along the Atlantic coast have tended to retard expansion in fall trade in wide sections of the country. All sections, however. have not been effected alike. the northwest returning relatively the poorest reports as to current distribution of goods. while the southwest and Pa cific coast and some sections of the South give excellent reports. The out look for average crops Is still a good one. A feature of the week in New Eng land has been the resumption of a large number of cotton mills. Complaint of un- satisfactory conditions as regards prices, however still comes from that section.
 Shoe manufacturing in New England is large and large sale of leather is re- ported at Boston. Trade in lumber at the east shows little, if any improvement

The ending of strikes is helping structural material. Demand for sugar Is experiencing tne usual au- tumn reduction, and the textile works are still unsettled
 Signs of improvement in cotton goods trade are. however, noted.
