Tho Oldest Car in America.

tUG Oi0SSs S0t III StmSTu00g
The car that stands In the round.
house at Plainville, Mass, is the old
cts railroad coach In the United
States and as such makes q pathetic
appeal to all people who remember
the earliest days of railroading. II
recalls the days when it was admired
by all the countryside as 1t rolled
over the rails between Boston and
Providence at pace which to-day
would be regarded as almost fune
real. To-day 1t stands neglected and
many years, and enmeshed by count
less cobwebs-a rusty, useless old
thing In q remote corner Of the round
house.
To the younger generarion It seems
almost Incredible that this primitive
vehicle could possibly have been the
predecessor of the magnificent Pull
man OF to-day. Its outlines suggest
o stage coach rather than a railroad
car, and the jolting Of the crude struc
ture was but little broken by the deli
cate-looking springs beneath 1t.

ance was used to accommodate pse
sengers on days when travel was

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
re. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of

r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of
trade says:
Moderate improvement in Midsum-
mer means more than an equivalent
increase at any other season, and the
better trade reported during the past
week is consequently most enccur-
aging. Dispatches from all parts of
the country are by no means uniform,
in some cases the outlook showing no
change, while at few points there
have been setbacks; but on the whole
the progress is unmistakable. Two
labor controversies are particularly
harmful, but others have been settled;
the Fall River strike is partially bro
ken and several threatened difficulties
have been averted.
Despite some injury to Spring wheat
the agricultural prospect is very bright
while higher prices promise to neu-
tralize the effect of such loss in guam
tity as occurred. Interior buyers have
placed liberal Fall orders in the lead
ing dry goods markets, and confidence
in large Spring trade is becoming
general.
The approaching presidential cleo
ton is viewed with more equanimity
than any other contest of recent years
both in financial and industrial cir
cles.
Failures this week were zaa in the
United States, against I74 last year,
and 50 in Canada, compared with 2a
year ago.
