THE STATE OF TRADE
BUSINESS CONDITIONS HAVE
MADE FURTHER PROGRESS.

Dispatches to Dun's Review Indicate that
business conditions have made further pro-
gress. the weeks results on the whole be-
Ing most satisfactory. Mills and factories
are fully occupied at Boston, although new
business was postponed to some extent
by the firmness OF money. Reports from
Philadelphia are somewhat irregular. but
the steel industry is very active and tex
tile mills are busy Rail merchandise dis
tribution is liberal Rail trade broadens at
Baltimore with colder weather. and whole
sale lines feel the stimulus of approach
ing holidays
Trade continues satisfactory at Memphis.
Labor troubles are about over i'm the win
dow glass industry at Plttsburg. and In
dependent manufacturers have reduced
prices. Dry goods and hardware are ac-
tive, and very heavy shipments OF coal viii
go out when the rivers reach another boat
ing stage. General trade is excellent at
Kansas City, collections are good
Business in all lines is active at Louis
Vile and collections improving. Movement
of merchandise at New Orleans is large,
collections are prompt. The special dry
goods sale at st. Louis proved a success
and other staple lines are active, with col
lections fair. Sales Of necessaries at
Chicago are increasing; unprecedented ac-
tivity is expected in holiday goods A
moderate demand for reassortment of dry
goods is reported at Cincinnati, and the
tone is firm. Clothing manufacturers are
well supplied with orders for spring, and
collections are very fair.
Business continues very satisfactory at
Cleveland and prices are firm. Demand
for seasonabfe merchandise Is brisk at st.
Paul. Improvement in collections is main
tanned. Merchandise moves more freely at
Minneapolis. Record-breaking sales of
staple commodities continue, and payments
are more prompt Trade conditions are
satisfactory at San Francisco, but there
is come disappointment regarding the
salmon catch.
Bank exchanges are close TO the highest
figure ever reported. the total for this week
being g. 1871 .025, 4S0. an increase OF IS per
cent over the corresponding week last year,
when trade was very active and bank set
Elements very large. Nearly every city re-
ports a gain this year, small losses at
Minneapolis and Louisville not being espe-
cfally significant.

Wife Worship.

From the New York Tribune
Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman was criti-
cising wife worship-the old-fashioned, I'M
reasoning, blind admiration that woman
paid to her husband In the past regarding
him as the handsomest bravest, wisest and
most learned of men.
Mrs. Gladstone" she said. "worshiped
her husband In this way; but. then, she had
some reason. Even in her case, though
the good lady's exaggerated wife worship
would sometimes make her appear ridicu-
louS.
8 Thus she was staying once at country
mouse, and on certain evening, having
finished dressing before her husband, she
descended to the drawing room alone. In
the drawing room three or four gentlemen
we're discussing the mIsfortunes OF ireland.
One OF them. as she entered, said:
"I can't imagine what will be the tate

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Lincoln Bank stock comes forward as the
center OF interest in the dealings on the
stock exchange, at least that was the case
today. The demand for the stock was gem
eral enough and emphatic enough to more
than have absorbed the entire capital stock.
IL IL had been available, of course, at the
prices which were regarded as reasonable.
In point of fact. however. while the bid
for the stock advanced some 5 points as
compared with the closing bid OF yester-
day, yet only shares were sold and only
shares In addition were offered for sale.
The advance in the bid did not have the
usual effect. as In the case of stocks in
general. of bringing out any. and 1t was
evident the holders have concluded it is a
good thing to keep even on a rising market.
Just why there should be this conviction.
coupled with desire on the part of ap-
parently quite number Of buyers to get.
hold Of blocks of this stock, is one of those
puzzling questions that frequently are en-
countered in the financial market.
In q general way it is supposed that
some connection with an uptown bank is
proposed. but really there is no definite
Information except that the demand for the
stock in recent days has become quite
prominent.
The uncertainty as to what was going
to happen In the Second National Bank
has at last been dispelled as the stock
holders today received the plan for the
proposed joining of interest with the First
National Bank OF New York city. 1t has
been a wcll-kept secret as to the details.
but in general 1t has been known for some
time, or rather suspected, that some sort
of melon was to be cut down there.
There was some toying with the stock of
the Central Bank also, and as result
the bid advanced some ten points without
sale. The lowest asking price was 34S.-
and as that was the Offering of insiders. 1T
might be concluded that is a top price,
even IL the rumored deal is carried out.
The preferred stock of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company was quoted
today without the dividend of $3.50 per
share. which is payable the LIST of next
month The bid today was just about what
it was yesterday, ex-dvidend, as today it
rose to 91A. The stock was for sale at

of any consequence. An option was offered
