J TWO HEARTS. 4


Ny Loves true heart am T.
My hearts true Love Is she;
The world may hurry by
IT'S all the same to me.

It singeth in the sea:

The stars may lose their way:

And love can fill the day.

to use her money as key to the mys-

gypsies, wonder-workers, and all the
odd freaks in the place. Cassie plead

Finally, she took up the study of hyp-

even a lover TO stand, and he informed
her that unless she gave it up, he
should feel justified in breaking their
engagement. The girl laughed at him.
She said that she had made a study of
personal magnetism, and that she
could win the esteem or love of any
man she wished, and she really did not
know whether she wished his love or
not; she would let him know later.

ouN,s REVIEW.

New York, May Or G. Dun & Co. $
weekly review of trade tomorrow will
say:
Reports of increased trade are received
from few favored points he ma
ton, a whole has .loi i. I'd its
commercial position durine The past week,
insofar as current distribution of mer-
chandise or manufacturing activities are
concerned Prospects for :ne future have
improved somewhat, however, ON account
of the progress made In agriculture Tn
less the crops suffer an unusual setback
hereafter, it should be good year for
the farmers, and all Other industries will
fee the stimulus. Lake traffic Is serious
ly Interrupted by the strike but otherwise
the labor situation is not alarming. Lead
ing branches of manufacture are very
quiet, the recent slight gain in iron and
in steel having disappeared and trans
portation interests are not lequalling last
years results, railway earnings thus far
available for May showing decrease
of &c per cent.
Although quotations of iron and steel
products have yielded little. the indus
try is not making satisfactory progress
and unless consumers place contracts
freely without further delay, there will
pen an accumulation OF unSold stock. In
few lines. notably tin plates and tubes
there is no lack of inquiry, but these
products are by no means typical of the
situation.
Although railway equipment is in need
of unusual replacement owing to the Sc
we're winter, there is still much conserva-
tlsm and purchases are generally limited
TO absolute necessities. Independent mills
have had some concessions in the price of
plates. and there is a weaker tone in the
sheet market, while there is no pressure
for structural material as yet.
Minor metals have ruled quiet and coke
is weak, despite some reduction in out
put, but there is a vigorous demand for
anthracite coal.
Hides for late sailing continue in good
demand, branded steers and cows show
ing the most strength Larger receipts
of foreign dry hides have somewhat de-
pressed prices. Aside from a small bus
mess in hemlock sole for sale to Great
Britain, the leather market has ruled
quiet. The only evidence of Improvement
in the primary market for cotton goods
has been furnished by exporters. and the
new business was only accomplished by
further concessions in price. Buyers of
wooden and worsted mems wear have
shown more interest fairly numerous sup
Elementary orders being placed.

WEATHER IS STILL
A BIG DRAWBACK
Further Weakness in Iron is
Noted
PRODUCTION is LARGl
1t Is Not Probable That a curtaIment
Viii Be Made Similar to
That of Last
Fall.
PRODUCTION IS LARGl

New York May 20.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Weather conditions are still the appar-
ent drawback in the trade and crop sit
uation. Temperatures have been too cool
to allow of free distribution of spring
and summer goods at retail, and they
likewise retard termination and growth
of crops, though permitting good pro-
gress in seeding in various sections of
the country. In iobbng circles the feel
ing is that the spring trade is past and
gone, and efforts are now concentrated
ora fall business reports TO which
are fairly good though not equal to a
year ago
Some faint evidences of improvement
are to be noted. particularly in the shoe
and leather industry, and in wool at
western primary markets, but against
this are to be cited further weakness
in iron, rather more quietness in lum-
Der and talk of further curtailment in
cotton production. The Industrial situa-
ton is rathed quieter, but the most
serious strike of the year, that of mas
ters and pilots ON lake vessels, con-
tinues with no prospect of settlement.
This has practically killed Transports
ton on the lakes, and the coal and lum-
Der trades exhibit the effects of the al
most total stoppage of the activity of
more than one hundred thousand men.
Railway earnings show recessions from
last year.
Perhaps the most pronounced weakness
shown by any one product, is that noted
in iron. Among the finished products bar
iron is lower at the west, though reported
held steady at the east.
The present feeling Is that pig iron
production is large considering present
demand, and eurtaiment similar to that
made last fail, Is not improbable. The
other metals are all rather weaker, cop
per lower both at home and abroad
