INDUSTRIES RESUME
DUN q cos WEEKLY REVIEW OF
TRADE.
Money Is Abundant at Easy Terma But
Business Feels Weakened Pur-
chasing Power of Thousandm
StilI UnemplOved

New York. Jan. 24.-R. G. Dun a.
Co. weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
More manufacturing plants have 70
sumed and money is abundant at eaEv
terms, but business feels the weakened
purchasing power of thousands sim
unemployed. Buyers have arrived in
large numbers in the local jobbing drv
goods market, placing fair orders at
the lower prices named on some de-
scriptions. and this forward business
was also liberal at the other large CEN
tiers. Mercantile collections continue
to improve. although still backward
at many points. Industrial news Is
slightly more encouraging. but there
Is much idle machinery and the coal
output has been curtailed on that ac.
count together with the hardness of
winter.
A little better demand is noted for
products of iron and steel and more
plants have resumed. until 1t is prob
able that one half the capacity is in
operation. Results thus far have been
accomplished without material conces-
sions in prices. Building operations
are resuming to. some extent and struc-
tural steel was also taken for railway
bridges.
Irregularity in textile fabrics was
prices by leading houses, stimulating
the movement OF merchandise at Sec
ond hands. Export trade has improv.
ed slightly. Chinese purchases being
resumed and inquiries coming from the
Red Sea. In wooden goods the only
change is in the Increased number Of
lines opened. Worsteds remain to be
opened and there are predictions of
higher prices on leading lines OF fancy
goods.
Footwear buyers are still in the Bos.
ton market. but sales have fallen short
Of expectations and jobbers are evil
IDENTIFY disposed to operate conserva-
lively. It is estimated that sales thus
far are rs per cent. below normal with
Russia calf goods the most active. Inn
provement is shown In leather.
A better tone IL recorded In the hide
market, tanners exhibiting more inter-
est and a substantial volume Of bust
mass was transacted.

As a consequence of the frequency
with which venomous snakes are met
with in India Anglo-Indians spend their
whole lives in thinking of their lives
and watching out for snakes. When
Mr.. Kipling reached London from In
dia in his search for fame and fortune
he lodged in some small rooms on VIII
liers street, Strand. up two flights Of
stairs. One morning a friend called.
and when he found himself in Rudyard
Kipling's sitting room he was surprised
to see a handsome mirror which stood
over the fireplace smashed to smithcr-
eens."
Snakes" said Kipling. noticing the
look Of establishment on his friends
face. II was doing in my chair yester-
day evening. and my foot slipped out
Of my shoe. which for comfort had
unlaced. Half waking, I felt with my
foot for the shoe and began slipping
it in when my toes touched the leather
tongue. Snake flashed across my
sleepy brain. I gave one desperate
kick, and when the shoe struck that
mirror realized that was in London
and not in India"

A Place Of Safety.

Wits which are serviceable only In
fair weather are not of much use to
the pioneer of a new country. All sorts
Of vicissitudes present themselves to
the dweller of the wild regions. MI.
Wiley in bis History of the White
Mountains" gives an instance Of a
man whose ingenuity withstood a cy-
clone. The incident took place in the
early days Of Jackson.
A terrible tornado passed over the
little settlement. 1t was so strong
hardly anything could stand before it
Houses and barns were leveled, trees
were. whirled about in the air like
sticks, and men and women were
caught up and carried along for rods.
One house was RACED to the ground,
and chairs, tables, beds, bedding and
children went flying about in the wind.
The father Of the family. snatching his
babies from the rude grasp of the mon.
ster, thrust the little folks heads
through two rails Of a fence and left
them thus secured, with their legs
dangling in the wind. He then went
to look after his other property.
The five little children remained safe
in their fastening and, uninjured, out
rode the tempest
