General Trade Conditions.

Dun's Review says: "Hesitancy in
entering on new commitments contin-
ues and a spirit of caution is every
where manifested, yet the confident
feeling in business circles is main
tanned. Sentiment is strengthened by
developments in the financial situa-
ton, a favorable impression being Gre
ated by the further Improvement in
foreign exchange and the action taken
with view to meeting maturing OBJ
legations abroad. Considerable gold
has already been shipped to Canada
for this purpose, and it is evident that
banking interests here are actively en-
gagged in the effort to restore more
normal monetary conditions. The
prevailing high rates for accommoda-
ton still exert a restraining influence
on trade expansion, but moderate
progress is noted n various leading
lines, especially in the eastern and
western sections of the country.

of an institution for the blind that

should we provide windows for those
that cannot see out of them?" So
scientific ventilation and heating were
provided. but the walls were left un-
pierced by any pane of glass. But
soon the poor inmates grew pale, and
a great languor fell upon them. They
fell sick, and one or two died. Then
it was that the committee decided to
open windows in the walls. In came
the healing light, and the human
plants responded to It at once in re-
vived spirits. ruddy cheeks and re-
stored health. Light is good, the
Light OF the World is good, even for
those who shut their eyes.--christian
