A traveller in Siberia, few years
back, noted that among the natives
along the northern coast wood, in q
certain form, is a most common and
constant article of diet. The natives
eat it because they like it. Even
when fish: are plentiful it usually
forms part of the evening meal, as
many clearly stripped large logs near
every hut testify. These people know
by experience that the fact of their
eating wood arouses the sympathy Of
strangers.

New York, Aug. 13.-R. g. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says: Mod
crate improvement in midsummer
means more than an equivalent increase
at any other season, and the better trade
reported during the past week is conse-
quently most encouraging. Dispatches
from all parts Of the country are by no
means uniform, in some cases the out
look showing no change, while at a few
points there have been setbacks; but on
the whole the progress is unmistakable.
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 Quantity
as occurred. Interior buyers have placed
liberal fall orders in the leading dry
goods markets, and confidence in alarge
spring trade Is becoming general. The
approaching presidential election is
viewed with more equanimity than any,
other contest of recent years, both in
financial and industrial circles.
