TRADE REVIEW.
Volume Of Business Continues Large
in Spite of Some Unsatisfac-
tory Features.

New York, Sept. 26.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Notwithstanding several unsatisfactory
features the volume Of trade continues
large and the distribution Of merchan-
disc taxes shipping facilities. An
nouncement of a concerted effort to re-
strict production of pig iron indicates
that supplies have begun to accumu-
late. Railway earnings continue to
show gains, for September thus far.
exceeding last years by 81 per cent.
and those Of 1901 by 17.2 per cent
Traffic blockade occurred to some ex-
tent, although the movement OF farm
products is still unseasonably small.
New labor controversies have begun,
but a number of serious troubles have
been averted, and on the whole the
number of men idle voluntarily has
diminished. Enforced idleness in the
iron and steel industry is more than
offset by the resumption of spindles
at cotton mills, and there is great ac-
tivity at footwear factories, although
the margin of profit is narrow. Lower
prices for the leading agricultural sta
pies indicate a general belief in i'm
proved crop prospects.
Failures this week numbered 232 in
the United States, against 207 last year,
and 10 in Canada compared with 80.
a year ago.
Bradstreet's says: Relatively the best
reports come from parts of the north
west, due to better weather and crop
conditions; the southwest, which has
escaped crop injury and the south,
where despite crop deterioration and
declining cotton prices the general
outlook is still good. Eastern advices
are of fair trade, but quietness in gem
eral business is noted in New York.

No Fourth There.-There Is one
town In Ohio In which the glorious
Fourth has not been celebrated for
forty years, the day being observed
as one of sorrow and sad recol-
lections. The village of Milgrove,
six miles west of Fostoria, has been
noted for Its celebrations and fes-
tivities. Forty years ago, while a
big celebration was In progress, a
huge cannon exploded, killing and
wou' dIng twenty. one people. The
accident shocked the little com
muuity to such an extent that there
has been no celebrating since. The
children are taught not to observe
the Fourth and there are no fire.

Bouxht Art to Destroy q.

The attendants in the art gallery of
a department store In Brooklyn were
startled the other day TO see a man de-
liberately destroy two pictures that he
had just purchased at cost of SAT.
The man is wealthy and aims to have
a collection OF art objects that have no
duplicates. He had purchased in the
art gallery that was the scene OF his
vandalism a painting for which he
paid $1,000. After IL was sent home he
was showing II TO friend. who. know
ing the collectors weakness. told him
he had seen two reproductions OF the
painting in the same gallery. one priced
at S35. the other at S12.
"Go and Luy them for me-" said the
collector. "snd when you get them
break them up I'll give You a check
for SI1 before you 20 home"
The friend declined the task: so the
collector went TO the store himself.
pointed out the two pictures. and after
he had paid for them destroyed them
on the spot.
This same man ordered a table with
a carved top. for which he paid $500.
and after u had been finished he went
to the artist who had designed II and
stood by him while he destroyed the
original drawing for the table. That
was part Of the contract. and he
meant to see II carried out.-New York

Captain La Barge was a pilot and

and on one OF his trips up the river he
had a party OF Englishmen aboard.
They had map and applied them
selves industriously TO the business of
identifying the various places on II
with those along their route. They
were in the pilot house a good deal. and
one of them was inclined to instruct in
the geography OF the country the vet
eran pilot. who had spent all his life on
or near the river.
"What place is this that we are ap.
preaching. Mr.. Pilot:" he asked
'-St. Charles. sir" Ia Barge replied.
'You are mistaken. sir According to
the map. II Is -"

WINGED that whatever the language

The woman wished TO see the city all
by herself. Somebody told her that IL
she went to the terminus of some bus
lines, II did not matter which, and
waited a little she would hear the con-
ductor call out the places on the route
and then could choose that which she
wished to visit.

failed to understand much that the bus
men said. Every now and then the
man on the step Of bus would call
out. "Moblotch. Moblotch,'' and she
wondered what part o. London Mob
lotch" might be- She had never heard
Of II before. and she had been studying
London for six months. At last she
ventured to address q conductor who
looked approachable.
