DUN'S TRADE REVIEW
WAR, FIRE AND COTTON THE
 ADVERSE FACTORS,
The Country, However, s ocd the Shocks Remarkably Well, and There are Numerous Enceur-
 aging Symptoms Apparent.

New York, Feb. 12.-R. c. Dun and Company's weekly review of trade tomor- row will say: War, fire and cotton were the adverse factors of the week. yet ! tho country stood the shocks remarkably well and there are numerous encouraging symptoms. To a large degree the out break of hostilities in the Orient and the collapse of the cotton boom had been dis counted, and the disastrous loss or the confia agratiop was offset very largely by the stimulus 1t will give to many indus tries, notably structural steel. In restor- ing Baltimore there will be great activity in the building trades, while large stocks of goods must be replaced and orders filled by jobber and manufacturers else- where. Buyers are arriving in this city in large numbers from all sections of the country and there Is a good demand for large leading staple lines with notable urgency for prompt shipment of cotton goods. The labor situation throughout the country is almost devoid of friction. More or less trafiic congestion results from tho weather and this factor accounts for the small loss of per cent in actual earn-

Ings of railways during January. Actual business is stiIl restricted In the Iron and
 steel industry but there Is more confidence in the future, and the extensive starting |of plants by the leading producers suggests that foreign markets will be entered more aRgressively than ever before. Structural steel prospects have greatly improved be- cause of the Baltimore fire as 1t is cer- tain that an enormous tonnage will be re- quired to restore the ruined buildings. As to pig iron, no Improvement Is seen. Mi. nor metals have developed irregularly but hard coal Is in good demand.
 New England shoe shops are stiil fully occupied on spring lines and fall samples, but few additional orders for spring de- livery have appeared during the past week. Trade in rubber goods Is less acc tive. A steady market continues for laath- CT stocks of backs are light in the hands of tanners and hemlock continues scarce. harness leather remnins steady.

 It is not surprising that irreguiarly ap- pears in the cotton goods market in view of the violent decline of Che raw material.

The other dominant purpose was that the visitorial power might. be moe readily and effectively exercised over them. This part of the statute sought, By compelling observance by bank cfiicers Of it's commands in this respect. to fur nish examining officers truthfui witness in every entry on its books as to each transaction, as 1t occurred: whereby. sx- aminers might be better enabled to trace and determine, accurately, from day to day. the actual condition and. honest con- duet of the business of the association. It ts the transaction which occurred, not the transaction was made in good or bad faith. or whether the paper is worthless and fraudulent, or valuable and free from fraud. which determines whether the en- try as to 1t Is true or false, in the sense of the statute. A truthful entry of a fraudulent item involves no crlminalfty under the provision as to false entries. whatever criminaiity may be impressed on the transaction there recited under other provisions of the law.

Whichever way the fact may be. 1t does not deter. mine whether the entry with reference to 1t. Is true or false.

Child Study and Sunday School
 Methods.

Plato somewhere says that wonder is an essential condition to knowing. Atten- tton Is arrested and interest stimulated by the description of the unusual. Phil lips Brooks once came to the defense of the average Sunday-school book. He said you must indulge children in their ideals and even their dreams and fancies It Is by that very means you lead them on to the real. The child-mind fairly feeds and thrives upon the wonderful. And there is no richer repository of this than the Bible. For variety. picturesqueness, quickness and intensity of movement, the Scripture stories are unsurpassed
 They are old, but perennial. Many of them are golden hooks on which ethical lessons of first importance can be hung.

means to an end, not an end in itself. It is ladder to convey us to the treas- ury of grace. Bare ritualism grows very dextrous in gliding up and down the ladder: but 1t never takes one any where.
 What God does is we'll done. The heal ing was complete. There was no tedious convalescence. The man hitherto so pow erless sprang to his feet.
