The Adventure of a Manuscript.

To the June McClure's Henry C. Row land contributes a story, "Shiraz,' that is remarkable in more ways than one. It is an appealing tale of a small American bo-, the son of brilliant portrait-paint- CT. Born in Persia, his mother died soon after his birth and he trailed all over Asia with his father. "Shiraz" became versed in the ways of Orientals spoke their dialects, and because of the con- stant strain and anxiety and the undue responsibility of looking after his bibu- lous father, he acquired a strange pre- maturity of face and speech. He is as odd n youngster and as lovable one as recent fiction has portrayed.
 Curiously enough the manuscript of 'Shiraz" had strange and international experiences also. The story was bought by McClure's some four years ago. A little latter the manuscript was lost. On November If, 1906 it was found lying on the sidewalk on Lexington avenue. The finder addressed it to MT. Rowland and 1t was forwarded to the author at his residence in Paris. He. in turn, sent it back to McClure's with an explana- tory note in the early part of 1907, and It was immediately put in galleys and rushed into the first available number.

Dun's Review.

New York, May 31.--R. G. Dun X Co. s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say
 Reasonable merchandise goes into distri- button slowly, which causes accumulation of spring and summer dry goods and mil linery in the hands of dealers and retards collections, while making operations fo. Tall and winter much more conservative.
 At some points the last week of May brought pronounced improvement in com mereial activity, but the holiday retarded recovery. Manufacturing plants are pro- ducins at full capacity in most industries. orders covering the output far into the future being the rule. More new Eng land cotton mills employees have received advanced wages, about 5000 hands now drawing increased pay. Another evidence of progress in cotton spinning was the increase inquiry at Fall River at 2.21 per cent against 1.32 per cent last year.
 Current transactions in the iron and steel industry are comparatively little sig nitcance, owing to the enormous tonnage under contract that will maintain activity far into the future, some sales covering the output of mills for the entire year 1908. Yet new orders are constantly ap- bearing, including much foreign business and deliveries are made as near as pos sible to specifications The output of pig iron is beyond al precedent. Railway and structural orders are the most urgent in demand for steel products, and as yet there Is little evidence of curtailed plans because of unfavorable crop reports.
 Increased difficulty in securing deliveries is noted in the cotton goods industry. most mills being sold so far ahead that buyers are apprehensve regarding sup plies, which prevents the high prices from having the natural effect of produc- ing conservatism. Curtailment of produc- ton will be unavoidable. notwithstanding the general advance in wages. Export in- quiries have increased. both Indian and

WATCHES ARM GUT OFF.
Boy Would Not Take an Anaesthetic. Too Much Interested to Feel Pain.

Vienna, May 31.-A 14-year-old boy here has astonished the prominent sur geon, Baron von Eisleberg, by the re- markable grit he displayed in under going an operation. The boys arm had to be amputated. He refused to take an anesthetic because he wanted to watch the operation. He resisted all persuasion, and the surgeon ulti- mately yielded. The boy did not vince and made no sound throughout, but watched the surgeons at work with keen attention. He said afterwards that the sight was so interesting that it was well worth the pain.
 Dr. von Eisleberg recognized his pluck by giving him watch.

 As to woolens the last week has re- turned the opening of important lines of staples but at such irregular prices that the trend of the market Is not estab- lished.
 Footwear manufacturers are making somewhat small concessions on light weight goods. Leather Is quiet and not firm Although the volume of business improved the statistical position, the cut in prices had bad effect on all upper leather and quotations are generally lower.
