4 rEItILous MOMENT.

one beautiful spring morning many
years ago a. group or boys decided to
so down 10 the Natural Bridge and
try to cut their names on the great
rock wall higher than any Que else had
ever donc before. The first boy to
try his luck was one known by every
American, George washington.
AS he began to ascend the wall he
took his pocketknife and cut little
inches in the rock to step in. OF course,
1T was very easy to go up the first
few feet but when he began TO get
up about thirty feet high he found
that ii would bc Of no use to try to
go any further, because il he did he
Nutild be in great danger Of failing
When he came down. But alast When
#i.eSlooled down in beginning to de-
down without falling would be very
nearly impossible. and also 1t would be
Just as hard to go up. There ne
was; could not go up nor could he
come down. He stood there for q
moment thinking which would BIO the
best plan--to try to go up or down.
Holding their breath. the boys at
the foot OF the wall stood expecting
to see their gallant companion TAU
at any moment to his death, but the
brave boy kept up his courage. and
llc could climb. Now he is Just about
twenty feet from the top OF the wall.
suJst think, he HAS climbed 230 feet! It
Is no use for him to try to make the
rest OF 1t now, because all but one
fourth Of an inch Of his knife blade Is
worn off, and that will soon be gone
What Is to be done? At this moment
a man came across the bridge, and as
he happened to look over and see this

to get a rope toilet down to him, be-;
cause If something was not done
quickly the lads hold would give way
and no would fall.
When the man came back with the
rope there was a crowd all around the
boy yelling: George, for Heavens
sake don't look down." Just as the
knife fell from his hands and nearly
all or his strength gone he was lifted
up In safety.

There's a story quite funny.
About toy bunny,
And tho wonderful things she could
do:
Every bright Easter morning.
Without any warning
She colors eggs rcd. green or blue
Some she covers with spots. II
Some With queer little dots,
And some with strange mixed
colors. too
Red and green. blue and yellow;
But each unlike his fellow
Are the eggs of every hue.
And It's odd as folks say,
That on no other day
In all OF the whole year! through,
Does this wonderful bunny.
So busy and funny,

.DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE
General Condition. Are Normal and
Volume of Business is Large.
NO FUNDAMENTAL WEAKNESS
Confidence and Activity in
tive Industries Contrasts sharply
with Depression Prevailing
I'm Speculative Market.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15,-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review Of trade today said:
Notwithstanding the seasonable lull In
business, general conditions are tully
normal and the volume OF trade, as meas
ured by bank exchanges and railroad earn
ings, is heavy. There Is a wide diversity or
reports from the different trades and trade
centers, but even the least satisfactory IN
dicates no fundamental weakness, while a
majority of the reports, particularly those
from cities farthest removed from the IN
fluence OF the unsettled conditions IN the
financial markets, show a healthy condition
OF affairs. The distinguishing feature OF
the whole business situation Is the sharp
contrast between the hesitation prevailing
in the security markets and the confidence
and activity prevailing in productive enter
prise.
An increased demand for pig iron Is ip-
dicated, with buyers displaying more inter-
est than for several weeks past, ana prices
show a hardening tendency In some dis
tricts. Inquiry Is broadening quite gen
orally, with sales Of from 4O,OOV to 5000
tons OF various grades noted at the west,
while business In some parts OF the cast
shows an appreciAble expansion, mostly
In malleable iron. Steel-making iron, how
ever, continues active, and IN some mar
kets basic is stu available at $l7.O Con
siderable i~rregulartty has developed In fin
ished lines, but some dullness in this d.
vision Is not surprising after the phenom-
enally heavy buying before last year closed.
This has resulted In the accumulation OF
large stocks in JObbers' hands, yet buyers,
IN many instances SILL appear NllilnS 10
make contracts for distant periods.
Trading in cotton goods was restricted TO
some extern by unsettled conditions in the
raw material market, although in the face
OF a sharp decline in the staple there were
large sales Of print cloths at the advanced
price OF AZ cents. for delivery during the
first six months of the year. There was
also a shortening of discounts on printed
goods OF a staple character, fo~reshadowing
TO some buyers an advance from the base
price OF 5h cents.
Considerable more activity is noted In
hides, some large tanners entering The
market Prices were lower than have pre-
viously ruled, but the declines we're not
great. considering the fact that most CT
the packers who sold were enabled TO clean
out their stocks OF branded varieties up 10
the first OF the year. Leather continues
dull and few sales Of any size are made.

weather and there is promise OF some dam
age on western rivers from gorges,
Indoor Industries seem to be actively em-
ployed, notably iron and steel and shoe
manufacturing Best reports as to new
business in iron and steel come from the
west, while eastern markets are rather
quiet. There Is some disappointment at
the volume Of buying Of rails by eastern
roads. Collections have been interfered
with by Interruption to crop movement, and
are rather Irregular, especially from coun-
try districts.
The question OF higher costs is being
considered by many manufacturers, who
are finding higher prices for raw materials,
and requests for advances In wages.
