RETAIL TRADE:

Warm Weather Causes Good
Demand for Summer

UNREST HAMPERS ENTERPRISE
Fear Of Strike Causes Abandonment of
Projects in the Building Line and

acknowledgements Are Less Prompt.

New York, May 25.-"Weather con.
ditions and the labor situation are the
dominant influences in the business
world. Unseasonably high tempera
ture at many points, especially in the
East stimulated retail trade in wear
ing apparel and other summer mer-
chandise to an unusual degree, but
had a most unsatisfactory effect upon
vegetation, which was promptly re-
fected in diminished orders for sup
plies, and in some cases there were
cancellations. More conservatism was
also shown at the interior, where agri-
cultural progress met with check, and
while no serious injury to the great
staple crops is yet reported, the de-
lay to planting induces caution among
dealers" according to R. G.. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade. Con-
tinuing, the report says:
Adverse Factors.
"On the whole there are fewer wage
earners voluntarily idle, yet the spirit
OF unrest has caused the abandon
ment of some new enterprises and

less demand for structural materials
and labor Payments are also less
prompt, time often being asked where
formerly cash transactions for slight
discount were the rule. Aside from
these two adverse factors the trade
situation is favorable, and with aver.
age weather and industrial peace
there is every prospect of continued
prosperity throughout the country
Manufacturing plants are generally
well occupied, especially in footwear,
iron and steel.
Iron Market.
REIMBURSEMENT in prices of iron and
steel continues, the market gradually
resuming normal conditions There
is no evidence of diminished activity
as yet, and in many cases prompt de-
liveries are urged, but as the in
creased capacity brings plants nearer
their orders buyers are naturally less
eager to place contracts. The fact
that some concessions have been made
in quotations tends to postpone bust
ness prospective buyers for still
more favorable terms.
Cotton Goods Higher.
Advances of about per cent in
wide sheetings indicate that the cot
ton goods market is beginning to re-
spond to the higher raw material. A
still more encouraging sign is the
greater interest displayed by purchas-
ers. Warm weather stimulates &C
tivity in wash goods for quick de-
livery. Print cloths are firmer, and
while there is no demand for regu-
lars, odd goods are sought freely. Re-
duced output of worsteds has
strengthened the tone, and the recent
advanced prices for carpets have not
prevented large transactions There
is no sign of reaction in the footwear
industry. Leather is steady at recent
advances.
Failures are 191 in the United
States, against 1872 last year, and four

Misfortunes' Shafts Fell Heavily on
Aged Veteran.
He was a pitiable old veteran who
stopped me that day on State street.
The rain was pouring steadily down
and the tide of humanity went hur-
rying on with faces as gloomy as the
sky itself, and paused not to hear the
pleadings of him who stood there lean
ing against lamp-post, red-nosed
watery-eyed and clad in rags. Upon
his head was an old battered and
ragged hat, from whose hanging rim
the dirty water ran in little muddy
rivulet down to the ground. His feet
were almost bare, his breath redolent
with the fumes of whisky. But there
amid the rags, upon his breast,
cleaned a golden-hued star, an EN-.
blem of honor. the badge of the Grand
Army of the Republic, He was only
an old topper, but those feet had once
run swift at his country's call in the
days gone by. That breast had been
barred to battle blasts, and those arms
had borne aloft the old flag when stout
hearts were faint with fear paused

white-winged messenger of love with
the patriotic device on the corner,
which rarely failed to come.
How tenderly he fingered over her
letters and then would hand them to
me to read that too might share his
joy But one day, at Champion Hills,
J think it was, there came letter
longer than usual telling how his boy,
little Willie, had died-how he had
fingered in pain for weary days and
nights while the tired mother watched
over him and prayed that the angel
of death might pass him by. But one
morning, just as the first ray of sun
light stole through the half-closed
blind and kissed his cheek, he raised
himself up, and. his eyes glowing with
celestial light, stretched out his little
arms, exclaiming, Papa, oh papa!
see papa, mamma. Papa, kiss Willie.

been left to Charles H. Smith, of East
Windsor Hills, Conn, he continued to
work for several years as a day la
bOrer. Then desire to have a good
time for once in his life influenced him
to draw 81 from the bank in Hartford,
where his wealth was on deposit. Not
long ago he bought piano, and some
months later a horse and carriage.
Now he has crowned his extravaganza
by purchasing 3S6-acre farm in

of giving up working for others.
