FRIENDS.


He calls himself your friend
Who comes to you
With visage blue,
And begs that you will lend
Him just a few
Dollars, because his rent will sooI
be due.
He also is your friend
Who, when he meets you,
Thusly greets you,
why, how your shoulders bend
And, really, Bin,
I never saw you looking quite so III.
And it's your dearest friend
Who tells you that
You're getting fat,
And cures will recommend
To make you thinner;
And says: you're almost bald, you
gay old sinner."
We all have cheerful friends
Who love to call
And ten us all
Our fats. When fortune sends
Us friends like these
'Tis not so hard to love our enemies

DUN'S REVIEW.

Confidence is returning but con
lservatism Is still much I'm evidence.
Especially in manufacturing. Mills

being permitted pending more set
tied conditions. Some idle plants
have already resumed. however. and
in many cases there are ample con-
tracts on hand. but work is curtailed
because customers request delay In

for settlement. These concerns ex-

Retail trade is more active. sales

ings in staple merchandise and some
western cities report that Wholesale
houses are receiving orders OF usual
size from country merchants for
spring delivery. More closed banks
have resumed. gold has arrived from

note circulation expands IN response
TO special facilities offered by the
treasury. One Of the best features
OF the week at this city was the prac.
teal elimination of the premium on
currency.
The output OF finished steel pro-
ducts has declined still further and
more pig iron furnaces are idle. but
the sentiment is not demoralized az
leading centers, and some Idle
plants will resume next week. Prices
remain comparatively steady. al
though in many cases the figures are
wholly nominal owing to the absence
OF new business. Shipments are al
most entirely confined to specinca-
tons on old contracts for which quo
tations were fixed some time ago.
Prospects are brighter for an early
Presumption OF buying in the primary
markets for cotton goods Stocks In
the hands OF distributors are known
to be depleted and reduction in work
at the mills has prevented amy ac-
emulation at first hands. Mean

Scarcity Of heavyweight worsteds
