General Trade Conditions.

Dun's review says: "The abnormal
business conditions created by war
continue and caution and retrench-
ment still halt enterprise, yet therein
Is a significant growth of confidence.
Several factors contribute to this sit
uation. Undoubtedly the improvement
in the financial markets is slow, but
it is steady, and the measures taken
to permit limited dealings in securi-
ties under stringent regulations make
at least q partial opening of the Lon.
don and New York exchanges a near
possibility.
Another factor Is the active move
ment of grain.
Failures for the week in the United
States were AS, against 254 last year
and in Canada 60, against SO last year
Bank clearings were $2,151, ASS 900

ago."

COTTAGE BURNS
AT HAMM0NDS

The two-story cottage at Ham

of this city. was totally destroyed by
fire late Tuesday night. The loss is
estimated at about $4,000; partially in
sured.
1t was about 1t.30 when Mr. Hill,
who was asleep in the upstairs part
of the cottage, was awakened by the
dense smoke. He was unable to make
his way down the stairs and blindly
CROPPED his way to the door which
leads to the upper piazza. From there
he jumped to the ground.
The fire probably started in the
kitchen. for when Mr., Hill opened the
door, the draft seemed to sweep the
blaze from that room all over the
place.
Neighboring farmers were summon
ed to prevent any spread of the fire
to the adjoining cottages, and by the
time these We're assembled the whole
structure was a mass of flames. 1t
was impossible to save a thing.
The snow on the roofs of the neigh

dong further damage.
