WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.
CONDITION OF AFFAIRS AS GIVEN SY
R. G. DUN CO.
OMbueroa sad Industry HIT* Improved
While Speculation lias Slmekened—
Barked Improvement In Woolen Goods
Srade—The Output of Iron—Money from
Snropc—The Week's FkUum
Kxw YORK, Sept 13.— R. G. DOB &
Cot, in their weekly review of trade, say:
Commerce and industry hare improved,
while speculation has slackened. A Yery dif
ferent result was e*
pec ted, when it was an
nounced a week ago that a syndicate had
undertaken to raise 10,000,000 for the Balti
more & Ohio, anyl to establish harmony be
tween trunk lines. At first stocks rose quickly,
an average of $4 per share, but soon it was
seen that the borrowing of million# by a
great company did net nceeaianly UM*B or
bring prosperity heavy declines io tBota
more & Ohio and other stocks affeotad by
the Ives failure -followed, and a nwiieal reac
tion toward lower pri«« and «p»enlat4Ta in
activity has continued this week. On the
other hand, evidence appears of a decided
improvement in legitimate business, with
larger sales, larger production, and a more
wholesome feeling, even in branches lately
most depressed.
The improvement in the woolen goods trade
is clearly marked, though that trade can not
yet be called active. Lower prices for wool
encourage manufacturers, and the demand
for goods is broadening. Distribution of
cottons continues large, with especial de
mand for the best qualities, and the manu
facturer is relieved from fear of speculative
corners in material, the new crop being un
doubtedly a large one, though below early
estimates.
Iron furnaces of 138,725 tons capacity were
in blast Sept 1, the largest output yet re
ported the increase since a year ago is 14.2
per cent. Disheartening in some quarters,
lest an output far surpassing the consump
tive demand should depress prices, is
met by the fact that the best grades
are scarce and well sustained, though in other
grades and brauds not well known weakness
appeals. Tne mills in which iron is worked
into forms for use are generally pressed with
orders bar iron has a* good demand, the
orders for sheet i late and tank iron press
the works to their full capacity, makers of
structural iron are crowded, and the nail
business is slightly better. In 6teel rails,
though even the Thomas company sells at
$36 for winter delivery, and the yielding in
prices disheartens some makers, there is a
general disposition to shut out foreign pro
ducts, and facilities for producing at tower
cost are steadily increasing.
Wheat speculation seems to have gone into
bankruptcy, stagnation ruling in spite of the
reduction of Liverpool freight rates to 1%
pence. The price has lifted only cent the
past week, while corn and oaths have risen
cents, pork 25 cents per barrel, and lard 10
cents per 100 pounds. Oil has advanced 5
cents in belief that producers will succeed in
limiting the supply. Sugar shows a tendency
to boom, having risen lt» cents per 100 pounds,
while coffee is cent weaker, hi^h rm cs for
money affecting Brazil .A^ iari. Copper is
weaker with th« opening of the Calu
met and iiecla mine, and beef with
heavy sjKfjments from the west Large offer
ingS-S^tea at auction resulted in moderate
prices, and the rice market is improving in
activity. Supplies of butter are very liberal.
Evidence of general improvement comes
from nearly all cities. Remarkably heavy
distribution of hardware and farmert' supplies
at Chicago and St Louis, with activity of
banks, not from speculative demands, and re
ports of a formidable increase in shipments
by the railroads from this city, promise satis
factory returns of fall trade. Money i9 gen
erally active at interior points, and collec
tions fair.
The large supplies of money from Europe,
already received and on the way, clear off
heavy loans which have tied np home cap
ital, and thus promise much relief. Failures
at New Haven and Philadelphia have in
volved some minor houses, but do not indi
cate especial weakness in any particular
branch of trade. For the present the signs
favor a large and profitable fall business,
unless monetary stringency should Interrupt.
The business failures during the last seven
days number for the United States 152, for
Condition of Cropo In Kansas.
TOPEKA, Kan., Sept 12.— Secretary Sims,
of the state board of agriculture, in his offi
cial report of the condition of tho cropo in
Kansas for the month ended Aug. SI, says
that no change has been noted since tho date
of the last report, one month ago. The
probable product of tho wheat crop is 7,470,
350 bushels, which, with the old wheat on
hand, will about meet the needs of the state
for seed and bread. The area of corn planted
is 6,530,423 acres, but about 2,520,332 acres
of this (or 40 per cent) will only be of use for
fodder, leaving 4,000,076 acres, from which
it is estimated there will be a yield of 82,557,
258 bushels, or 49 per cent of the average an
nual product for five years. This, with the
12,000,000 bushels of old corn, will about
meet the requirements of the state.
Money for Mary Sylvester.
St. CLOUD, Minn., Sept 12.—Friday after-,
noon a subscription list was circulated by
members of all organizations for the Mary
Sylvester fund. The proceeds will be for
warded to Minneapolis. A great deal of sym

The Haddock Murder Trial.
Sioux CITY, Iowa, Sept 12.— No new de

tried to shoot, was then arrested on sus

INDIANS' HORSEMANSHIP.
Great Feats In Biding Exhibited by Fri
day's Young Arapahoe Warriors.
In the Indian camp of the Arapahoe
Chief Friday. Here we saw many curious
scenes and learned much of the Indian
life. One day Friday said to mo he would
like to show off his young men and let
me see liow well they could ride. At first
I expected some treachery, as the whole
herd of ponies were still in the hands of
the troops. The old chief, however, was
so earnest and apparently so honest about
it, I told tho captain, who had the herd in
charge, ho might let Friday have fifty
ponies for his young men. In about an
hour they drew up before the tents in war
paint and feathers, and wero as fine a
looking set of young fellows as I had ever
seen. Hardly bnt one was six feet in
height and beautifully proportioned. They
sat thoir horses lifce centaurs, and were
BOM and sraca itrolf in tho saddla. At a
signal FROM %)N» ehief tbey began their
movwtioata with a yell that Kent the blood
mrttttig Wm heart, and was enough, if
board nnawares or in th« night time, to
make one's hair stand on end. In a mo
ment they had disappeared ovor a neigh
boring hfll to tbti right, and I thought
they had gone, but, hearing a mighty
trampling of horses, I looked to tho left
and there they came. I can compare it to
nothing but the wind, and they swept by
so compact that they looked like a ball of
horses and men.
Splitting in two, one body swept to the
right and another to the left, and again
disappeared. In about two minutes the
two bodies charged each other in solid
lines, and I waited almost breathlessly for
the shock, but as the horses' heads al
most touched each other, the flies skill
fully opened to the right and left, and the
lines passed through tho intervals without
touching. Wheeling to the right about
they passed back in an instant, and again
disappeared ovor the hills. It was about
fifteen minutes before they came in sight,
and Friday Informed me they were blow
ing their hones. Presently on they came
and wheeled by fours, formed columns,
broke by fours, and finally deployed as
skirmishers. It was now wo saw the
finest individual horsemanship. Some
would approach lying so close to the
pony's back nothing but the horse could
be soon. Others stood up and rode as cir
cus men do. Some would hang with
one foot and one hand on the
horses and sweep by, their bodies
completely protected by the bodies
of the animals. Some leaped upon the
ground holding to the mane of the horse,
and after running a step or two would
swing themselves up on the backs of the
horses again as easily as any circus man
could do it. The positions they assumed
and the feats of horsemanship which they
performed wore incredible, and I doubt if
anything outside of a circus ring ever
equaled it. They would throw objects on
the ground and pick them up again while
passing at full speed, the warriors hang
ing to the sides of tho horses with one foot
and one hand. They drew bows and shot
arrows from underneath the necks and
even tho bellies of their horses while rid
ing at a fast gallop.
Our cavalry could not learn to ride as
well as these Indians did if each man was
trained for twenty years. They exchanged
horses while riding and got behind each
other. One man would fall off his horse
as if wounded, and two others would ride
up beside him and, taking him by an arm
and leg, swing him between their horses
and earry him off. The exhibition, or
drill, as Friday called it, lasted nearly
two hours, and the men and horses were
completely exhausted.—Omaha Herald.
The Art ot Conversing.
•The reason why many who converse are
dull, is our fault, not theirs our bearing,
because we have not learned the art of
patiently listening, restrains and embar
rasses them. Were we more respectful
and benevolent, the tongue of the one
speaking would disentangle itself, and
give us many treasures of head and heart.
Hence, in conversing, we should never
seem to feel toward the one speaking that
we are perfectly acquainted with every
thing he is saying or can say that, kills

learn to listen for profit, if not from prin

the hour's talk into an hour charged at

most serviceable information. "When

says the Chinese proverb, "there is noth

THE COW AND HER CALF.
Teaching a Tonne Bovino to Drink—Boy
iab Cruelty to Auimals.
"Learning" a calf to drink was one of
my boyish crosses. The natural position
of a calf in nursing is one with the head
elevated, and the nose turned up. Of
eotirse there is opposition when these po
sitions are exactly reversed, and the calf
I1A9 to swallow up instead of down. Every
country boy knows all about the process
how he sticks his horny hand and nail
tipped fingers into the tender mouth, hith
erto accustomed only to tho soft teat of
the mother how the frightened animal
struggles how he jams it« head down
into the milk how the calf "bunts" and
drives the milk in showers into the face
of tho boy, and how in time the little
juvenile passes from a sucker to a drinker,
and then is ready for the advent of the
buyer.
Removed by long time from these oc
currences, I find there is something truly
pathetic in the life of the average calf and
its mother. She is deprived of it at the
earliest possible moment in order that her
milk may be used for the dairy, and pend
ing the arrival of a purchaser it is fed on
a thinned milk less expensive than the
original article. Whoever in city or coun
try has seen a cow in company with her
calf has noticed every evidence of a warm
affection. When opportuidty offers she
laps its skin with her tongue, and caresses
it with her nose, and places herself in
vitingly in a position to enable it to reach
the fountain of nourishment.
When the calf is taken away, her dis
tress is as evident as that of a woman
who has lost her child. Her melancholy
cry rolls across the country and is echoed
from the hills. There are in it qualities
of grief that are as palpable as if em
bodied in the human voice. All the day,
and during the solemn stillness of the
night, at intervals of a few minutes, the
dolorous call of the mother for her miss
ing child breaks on the ear.
To the boy there is nothing pathetic in
the occurrence. It is something which is
to him a matter of course. He is yet a
savage. He watches the "sticking" of
hogs in the annual butchering with lively
interest, and longs for the time when he
can perform the same feat. Ho sees with
indifference the enraged farmer plant his
heavy cowhide boot in the ribs of a
fractious cow, and with equal equanimity
sees the same person maul the head of an
unbroken colt, or a sensitive, timid horse,
with a heavy sled stake. At this remote
period my conscience pricks me for the
stoning of animals, the kicking of patient
horses, and other things of the kind
which, when done, were done with entire
unconsciousness as to their brutality.—
"BeJwto" in Chicago Times.
Tho Peasants of Kassla.
As you get farther on into Russia the
long boots of the country people show that
you have come into the land of mud and
bad roEtds. All along the line you see
that monotonous beauty of the northern
landscape—the wild, thick grown forest,
in which pines and birch strive for the
mastery the sluggish river now broaden
ing into a sedgy mere, and deep, soft,
marshy meadows roughly railed with split
timber.
But, above all, the landscape conveys
to a stranger from the west of Europe a
sense of space, as of a country where every
tree is not numbered where there is much
land and few men where it is cheaper
and easier to make a fresh road over a
new bit of land than to repair the ruts of
the old track. But when the sun gfje».
down behind a hill, throwing a bright1
light on tho foliage of the wood opposite—
a foliage not of a dusky blue green, but
with the dark pines relieved by the light
est, freshest green, the green of the birch
es—and the light twinkles on the silver
birch stems and the surface of the quiet
river turns to gold, then one sees the Rus
sian sunset as portrayed by Turgeneff
with a glamour over its loveliness. At
that moment the sight recalled the land
scape seen so often in stage painting and
the Russian peasants are opera chorus
peasants, dressed in bright red skirts
buckled around the waist and hanging
loose over the trowsers, which are always
thrust into long boots. Over the skirt
they wear a sheep skin coming down to
their ankles. The women wear pink or
red dresses (the Slav likes bright colors),
bead necklaces, a gaudy handkerchief
over the head, and the legs, when they
are not bare, tied round vyith bands.—St.
James' Gazette.

work is to make yachting pillows for the
gentlemen of their acquaintance who hap
pen to own yachts. Every one who has
ever "sailed o'er the blue water" knows
how necessary to comfort are sofa pillows
in the cabin every one wishes to doze Or
loll about, and pillows are in demand
there can't be too many of them. The
pillow exclusively for yachts is covered
with navy blue sateen that is laced on to
the pillow on either side by a white cord
and tassel. This gives it a nautical ap
pearance at once. Have a design of the
yacht stamped on one side of the blue
covering, and work in outline stitch with
White silk. On the reverse side have the
name of the yacht stamped in large letters
in old English text, and also work with
white silk in outline stitch. They are very
pretty, easily done, and a most appropriate
present. If one desires to give still more,
an ensign flag to match is attractive, with
the initials of the owner worked upon the
blue field as well as the name of the yacht.

Knowledge for Everyday Life.
To add a column of figures rapidly and
accurately, to make no mistakes in simple
sums of addition, subtraction, multiplier
tion and division, the kind of arithmetical
knowledge needed in everyday life, is, as
President Walker has shown in his recent
admirable talk to the school committee of
Boston, of far more value to the vast ma
jority of school children than can possibly
be a knowledge of the intricacies of frac*
tions, or facility in the gymnastics of tbe
puzzle problems of the text books, with
out such ready accuracy in everyday
sums. This statement by President
Walker well illustrates the rational de
mand for a more practical education in
the public schools, though there is a de
mand for BO called "practical" education
which is decidedly irrational.—CoL I.
words Clarke In American Magazine.
Table Etiquette in Zanzibar.
Talking of eating reminds me of the
way the operation is performed by the
Arabs. Five of them seat themselves
round a large bowl of rice, surmounted
by a skinny fowl, all being curried. Two
seize the wings with their fingers and two
the legs, and simultaneously tearing these
off leave the carcass to the fifth, after
ward taking out the rico by handfuls and
dexterously conveying it to the mouth
with a peculiar jerk. One mark of hospi
tality shown to guests when at table con
sists in the chief's rolling up some rioe
iato a ball in the palm of his fcand and
aiming it at his guest's widely distended
jaws. On one occasion this piece of civil
ity was shown to myself, but not being
on adept in the art of swallowing rice
balls when so projected the effect was
anything but what my kind entertainer an
ticipated, for, independent of being nearly
phoked, the grains were scattered, or
^ther sputtered, over the fable in a man
lier that elicited roars of laugher even
from the very' grave Arabs, This, of
course, was the last experiment of the
kind tried upon me.—Overland Monthly.

Hair Neglected
Soon becomes dry, harsh, coarse, and
full of dandruff it loses vitality and
turns prematurely gray, or falls out rap
idly and threatens early baldness. A
careful dressing daily with Ayer's Hair
Vigor—the best preparation for the pur
pose—will preserve the hair in all its
luxuriance and beauty to a good old age.
My hair was faded and dry," writer
Mabel C. Hardy, of Delaware, III., "but
after using only half a bottle of Ayer'»
Hair Vigor it became black and glossy.
I cannot express the gratitude I feel."
Frederick P. Coggesliall, Bookseller,
51 Merrimack St., Lowell, Mass., writes:.
"Some six or seven years ago my wifo
had a severe illness, in conscquence of
which she became almost entirely bald
and was compelled to wear a wig. A
few months since she began to apply
Ayer's Hair Vigor to the scalp, and, afte*1
using three bottles, has a good growth
of hair started all over her head. Thd
hair is now from two to four inches long,
and growing freely. The result is a
most gratifying proof of the merit of
your admirable preparation."
