COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of
trade says:
Confidence in continued improve-
ment of trade has been somewhat uns
settled by sensational events in the
wheat market and the lack of harmony
between labor and capital. It is be-
coming evident that estimates of the
wheat crop must be reduced, although
other agricultural news is much better
than usual. In so far as the purchas-
ing power of the farmer is concerned,
prices have risen so sharply that ary
loss in quantity promises to be made
up, but this obvious fact is not appre-
ciated by thase dealers who are mak-
ing less preparation for future trade.
Some disappointment is also felt by
those who counted upon an early re-
sumption of activity in building oper-
ations and other industries “hampered
by labor controversies. Otherwise,
news of the week has contained much
f an encouraging nature,

present. Refreshmenis were served
during the evening, and in handing a
small glass of wine to one of the
guests a deal mute gentleman hap
pened to spill a few drops on his
mute, and it was evident that she took
the mishap in a rather irritable Way.
She wrinkled up her forehead and
al once made a series of remarkably
swift movements with her nimble fin
gers. The husband, locking exceed

One of the guests, who had noticed
this Httie by-play, slyly slipped out a
bit of paper, and penciling something
on it handed it to a friend.
This i& what the letter read:
“No matter how badly afflicted,
woman can still scold.”
The friend scribbled this in return:
“Yes; but in the present case the
husband is luckier than the average.
He doesn’t have to look.”
