Rev. Merle st. c. Wright, pastor of
the Lenox Avenue Unitarian Church of
New York, in an address before the New

in favor Of putting incurable sufferers
from disease to death by painless agen-

when we know that it means nothing but
torture for the victim? The minister
would have the consent Of the patient
and his family to the act of ending his
life. Drugs could be administered which
would not cause pain and the dreamless
sleep would follow. The minister thought
that humane death in this way would
be advancing civilization and getting
away from barbarians.

New YOTk. Weekly Review of Trade

Industrial activity has increased some
what, many plants resurning and others
preparing to reopen Monday. Several
pending labor controversies have reached
amicable adjustment, adding to the ag-
gregate of wage ear3ers employed. On
the other hand, strikes are ordered and
some mills will be closed by lack of new
business, while the struggle for control
of the copper properties has thrown
thousands out of work. While there is
evidence Of n setback in the steel indus
try and some hesitation in textiles at
the East, the general tenor Of these re-
ports is encouraging for a continuance
Of prosperity, particularly in the sections
where agriculture is the chief occupa-
ton. Collections are causing some un-
easiness. and financial conditions are un-
settled. Merchandise is freely distribut-
ed; earnings for October thus far sur
pass last years by SO per cent and those
of 1901 by 1874 per cent.
Purchases of iron and steel products
are still restricted to immediate require
ments as rule, although the decline in
quotations appears checked. Some trade
authorities anticipate an avalanche Of
business when buyers are convinced that
more attractive terms cannot be secured.
but other experts believe contracts will
not be freely placed until financial con-
ditions improve to such an extent that
the railways and other big consumers
can serve funds readily.
Some increased interest Is noted In
structural material for Office buildings,
warehouses and bridges, but orders are
insignificant when compared with last
years business in this line.
For the first time this season it Is
possible to record distinctly better tone
in the market for cotton goods. Print
cloths are firmer. occasional small ad-
vances being quoted, and the market for
staple and fancy prints is strengthened
by the paucity of supplies. A slight in
crease in sales of woolens is not suffi-
cient to recover lost ground, nor Is sup
Elementary business up to the volume
that should be coming forward at this
time.
