COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
R. G. Dun & Co's weekly review of
trade says:
Confidence increases each week as
2 larger proportion of the agricultural
yield is placed beyond the reach of
mjury and industrial undertakings are
less interrupted by labor controver-
sites. It is not to be expected that the
business world will suddenly abandon
its conservative attitude, purchases
being still restricted largely to such
needs as are clearly discerned, but
there is evidence of a growing dispo-
sition to provide for more remote re-
qurements. In many lines, particu-
larly dry goods, stocks have been re-
shipments are expanding in a healthy
manner.
Distribution of merchandise is pro-
viding the railways with a large ton-
nage, preparations are heing made to
handle the enormous crops and the
gross earnings of all railways report-
ing for three weeks of August show
a gain of 1.4 per cent over the same
time last year. Foreign commerce for
the last week at this port was smaller
than a year ago, exports decreasing
$307,277, while imports $004,083
and this tendency TEEPONS]
ble for the Treasury deficit in August,
customs receipts about $1,000
000 behind those of the same
last year. Protracted meetings
cussing the matter of prices for
products tended restrict business

A Novey Team,
The owner of a large ostrich farm
in southern California has trained a
pair of these huge birds to drive as
he would drive horses, hitching them
to a light buggy or trotting cart,
which has in ite design a third wheel.
This is to prevent the vebicle from
turning over. It is by no means an
easy task to drive such a wierd team,
ag you can not pull up your “horses”
by reins. If you did it would probably
result in serious injury to the valu-
able birds. The only way to guide
the conveyance ig to hit the offside
bird on the opposite side to that
which you want him to go. Another
objection to this kind of “horse” is
that if he should catch sight of a bit
of banana peel, or something equally
attractive, he does not hesitate to
make a dive sideways for it. As os
triches go like the wind, and can
make a sudden dead stop, the jerk
the rider receives is not a pleasant
out, if a piece of orange peel should
happen accidentally to meet the eye
of his strange “horses.”
