 Disappointing BIG DEPRESSION IN IRON Steel and Bltuminous Coal Are Also ouiet-Furnaces Going Out of
 Blast and Production
 Is Curtalled.

New York June 3-Bradstreets tomor- row will say:
 Pending a clearer view of the future, general trade in industry Is quiet to the verge of dullness. Prospects have im- rroved in some sections, but complaints come from others. so that this situation Is a whole irregular The volume of May business, wholesale and retail, was disappointing, confirmation of this being found in decreases in bank clearlngs and in railway earnings from a year ago, while failures were more numerous, though less costly than in recently pre- ceding weeks, while showing increases over year ago. Iron and steel, bitumn- ous coal and coal manufacturing are notably quiet for this season of the year. There are, however, some signs of under lying confidence in future trade These consist of reports of improved inquiry for fall goods at some western, southern and eastern points, rather better tone in the shoe and leather industry at the east, &C., tive buying at full prices of the new west ern wool clip and fairly satisfactory re- ports from the wooen industry. Collec- tions partake of trade irregularity, but are still classable as fair Prices of stsples show a general sagging tendency Until the outturn of crops ts settled most authorities look for comparative quiet.
 Among the industries, iron and steel and bituminous coal note specially marked depression. Furnaces are going out of blast, curtailment Is making headway and there Is a disposition on the part of sell lers to resist further price reductions.
 Wheat including flour, exports for the week ending June 2, aggregate 1,937, 20S bushels. against 1,132,157 last week, and A. 7OS, 995 this week last year.

the distance, and his old but educated
eyes made no mistake.
"Yandcr's that youngster Beverley"
he exclaimed. EFF II amt I'm Il

Nor did he parley further on the sub
ject, but set off at a rickety trot to
meet and assist the tagged and excited
young man.
Clark had given Oncle Jazon his
flask, which contained few gills of
whisky. This was the first thing Of
fered to Beverley, who wisely took
but swallow Oncle Jazon was so
elated he waved his cap on high and
unconsciously falling into French, yell
ed in a piercing voice:
"Vive ZhorZh Vasinton! Vive la
banniere d'Alice Roussillon!'
Seeing Beverley reminded him Of
Alice and the flag. As for Beverley,
the sentiment braced him and the be-
loved name brimmed his heart with
sweetness.
Clark went 10 meet them as they
came in. He Rugged the gaunt lieu
tenant with genuine fervor of joy,
while Oncle Jazon ran around them
making series Of grotesque capers.
The whole command, hearing Oncle
Jazon's patriotic words, set up wild
shouting on the spur of a general i'm
preston that Beverley came as a mes
senger bearing glorious news from
Washington's army in the east.
1t was great relief to Clark when
he found out that his favorite lleuten-
ant had not broken his parole, but had
instead boldly resurrendered himself
declaring the obligation no longer bind
ing and notifying Hamilton of his in
tention to go away with the purpose
of returning and destroying him and
his command. Clark laughed heartily
when this explanation brought ou
Beverley's tender interest in Alice, hui
he sympathized cordially, for he him
self knew what love is.
Although Beverley was half starved
and still suffering from the kicks anc
