Biiooklyx, May 23. In the Brooklyn
Academy or Music this morning, after the
preliminary exercises which in this congre
gation are considered as important as any
of the others, Dr. Talmage preached from
the text, "So they handed Haman on the
gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai."
Esther Yii: 10. Following is his sermon in
full:
Here is an Oriental courtier, about the most
offensive man in Hebrew history, Haman by
name. He plotted for the destruction of the
Israelitish nation, and I wonder not that in
some of the Hebrew synagogues to this day
when Hainan's name is mentioned, the congre
gation clench their fists, and stamp their feet
and cry, "Let his uamo be blotted out!'
Haman was Trime Minister in the magnificent
court ot Persia. Thoroughly appreciative of
the honor conferred, ho expects everybody
that he passes to be obsequious. Comlnsr in
one day at the gato of the palace, the servants
drop their heads in honor of his office; bnt a
Hebrew, named Mordccai. gazes upon the pass
ing dignitary without bending bis head or
taking off his bat. He w as a good man, and
would not have been negligent of the ordinary
courtesies of life, but be felt no respect either
for Haman or the nation from which he bad
come, flat he could not be hypocritical; and
while others made Oriental salaam, getting
clear down before this Prime Minister when he
parsed, Mordecai, the Hebrew, relaxed not a
muscle of his neck, and kept his chin clear up.
JJecause of that affront Haman gets a decree
from Abasuerus, the dastardly king, for the
massacre of all the Israetltles, and that, of
course, -will include Mordecal.
To make a long story short, through Queen
Esther this whole plot was revealed to her hus
band, Abasuerus. One night Abasuerus, who
was afflicted with insomnia. In his sleepless
hours calls for bis secretary to read him a few
passages of Persian history, and so while away
the night. In the book read that night to the
King an account was given of a conspiracy,
from which Mordecal. the Hebrew, bad saved
the King's life, and for which kindness Mor
decal had never received any reward. Haman,
who had been fixing up a nice gallows to bang
Mordecal on, was vtalking outside the door of
the King's sleeping apartment, and was called
In.
XOT AS HE EXPECTED.
The King told him that be had just bad read
to him the account of some one who had saved
bis, the King's, life, and be asked wbat reward
ought to be given to such a one. Self -conceited
Haman, supposing that ho himself was to get
the honor, and not Imagining for a moment
that the deliverer of the King's life was Mor
decal, says: "Why, your Majesty ought to
make a triumph for him, and put a crown on
him. and set him on a splendid horse, high
stepping and full-blooded, and then have one
of your princes lead the horse through the
streets, crying, 'Bow the knee, here comes a
man who has saved the King's lifer" Tnen
said Abasuerus in severe tones to Haman: "I
know all about your scoundrelism. Now you
co out and male a triumph for Mordecai, the
Hebrew, whom you hate. Put the best saddle
on the finest horse, and you. the Princo, hold
the stirrup while Mordccai gets, on and then
lead his horse through the street. Make baste!"
ua: a spectacle; A comedy and tragedv at
one and the same time. There they go! Mor
decal. who bad been drspired, now starred and
robed, in the stirrups, Haman, the Chancellor,
afoot, holding the prancing, rearing, champing
stallion. Mordecai bends his neck at last, but
It is to look down at the degraded Prime Min
ister walking beneath him. Huzza for Mor
decai! Alas for Haman! But what a pity to
have the gallows, recentlv built, entirely
wasted! It is SO cnbits high, and built with
care. And Hjman had erected it for Mordecai,
hy whose stirrups he now walks as groom,
htranger and more startling than any romance,
there go up the steps of the scaffolding, side by
side, the hangman and Haman, the ex-Chancellor.
"So thev hanged Haman on thegallows
that tie bad prepared lor Mordecai."
Although to many years have passed since
cowarulv Abasuerus reigned, and the beautiful
Esther answered to hW whims, and Persia per
ished, yet from the life and deatb of Haman we
mi! draw In ing lessons of warning and instruc
tion. And. first, w e come to the practical sug
gestion that, when the heart is wrong, things
very insignificant will destroy our comfort.
Who would have thought that a great Prime
Minister, admired and applauded by miliums
of Persians would have been so nettled and
harassed by anything trivial: What more
could the great dignitary have wanted than
bis chariots and attendants, and palaces and
banquets?
NO HAPPINESS FOR HAMAN.
If affluence of circumstances can make a man
contented and happy, surely Haman should
have boen contented and bappy. I o; Morde
caf s refusal or a bow takes the glitter from the
gold, and the richness from the purple, and the
speed from the chariots With a heart puffed
tip with every inflation of vanity and revenge.
It was impossible for him to be happy. The
silence ot Mordecai at the gate was loader than
tho braying of trumpets in the palace. Thus
shall it always bo if the heart is not right. Cir- j
cu instances the most trivial will disturb the
spirit.
It is not the great calamities of life that
create the most worriment, I have seen men,
felled by repeated blows of misfortune, arising
from the dust, never desponding. Bnt tho
most of the disquiet which men suffer is from
insignificant causes; as a lion attacked by some
beast of nrey turns easily around and slas
hun, yet runs roaring through the forest at the
alighting on his brawny neck of a few insects.
You meet some great loss in business with
comparative composure: but jou can think of
pett trickeries inflicted upon jou, which rouso
all j our capacity for wrath, and remain in your
heart an unbearable annoyance. If rouluok
back upon your life, you will find that tha
most ot the vexations and disturbances of
spirit, which jou felt. were pro
uueed by circumstances that, were not
worthy of notice. If you want to be happy jou
piust not care for trifles. Do not be too minute
in your inspection of the treatment tou receive
from others. Who cares whether Mordecai
bows wheu you pass, or stands erect acd stiff
as a cedar? That woodman would not make
much clearing in a forest who should stop to
bind up every little bruiso and scratch he re
ceived In the thicket: nor will that man ac
complish much for the world or the church
who is too watchful and appreciative of petty
annoyances. There are multitudes of people in
the world constantly harrowed because they
pass their liven not in searching out those
things which arc attractive and deserving, but
in ipying out with all their powers of vision to
6co whether they cannot find a Mordecai.
Again: I learn from the life of tho man under
our notice that worldly laniiv and sin are very
anxious to have piety bow before them. Ha
man H a fair emb.eiu ot entire worldltncss
and Mordecai the representative or unflinching
godliness. Such were the uages of societ) in
ancient times that, had this Israelite bowed to
the Prime Minister, it would have been anac
kiiow ledgmrnt of respect for his character and
nation. Mordecai would, therelorc, have
sinned against b a religion bail lin made any
obeisanco or dropped his cbin'half an inch be
fore Hainan.
SECURING OIJEDIENCn.
When, therefore, proud Haman attempted to
compel an bomige which was not felt, he only
did what the world eer since has tried to do,
when it would force our holy religion in any
way to jield to its dictates. Daniel, if be bad
been a man of religious compromises, would
never have been thrown into the den of lions.
He might havo made some arrangement with
King Darius whereby he could have retained
part of his form of religion without making
nimelf so completely obnoxious to theidolatcrs.
Paul might nave retained the favor of bis
rulers and escaped martyrdom if he had only
been willing to mix up his Chritian faith with a
few errors. His nnbondingCbristian character
wj taken as an insult.
Fagot and rack aud halter In all ages have
been only the different ways in which the world
has demanded olieisancc It'was once, away
tip on the top of the temple, that Satan com
manded the Holy One of Itazareth to kneel
before blio. Bnt it is not now so mnch on the
top of churches as down in the aisle and the
pew and the pulpit that hatan tempts tho
rspousers of the Christian faith to kneel beforo
him. Why was It that the PKtouic philoso
libera of early times, as well as Toland, Spinoza
and Ilollnghrnke of later days, were so madly
opposed to Christianity? Certainly not because
It favored immorallti on or arrested civilization,
or dwarfed the intellect. The genuine reason,
whether admitted or not, was because the re
ligion of Cliri.t paid no respect to their intei-
i-iiuai va-nurs. uiounr. anu Boyle, and the
host ot infidels hatched out bv thi tIi rii.n ,r
Charles II.. as reptiles crawl out of a
marsh of slime, could not keep their patience
because, as tbey passed along, there were slt
tMigin the gato of the church such men as
Matthew, and Mark, and Luke, and John who
would not bend an inch in respect to their
philosophies . ,.
Satan told our first paronts that they would
become as gods if thev would only reach up
and take a taste of the-fruit They tried itand
failed, bnt their descendants are not yet satis
fled with the experiment. We have now many
desiring to bo as gods, reaching up after yet an
other apple. Human reason, scornful of Uod s
word, may foam and strut with the Pnd
wrath of a Haman. and attempt to compel the
homage or the good, hut in the presence of
men and angels it shall be confounded. God
shall smite thee, thou whited wall." when
science began to make its brilliant discoveries
there were
GREAT TACTS BROUGHT TO LIGHT
that seemed to overthrow the truth of the
Bible. The archaeologist with his crowbar, and
the geologist with bis hammer, and the chemist
with his batteries charged upon the Bible.
Moses' account of the creation seemed deuied
by the very structure of the earth. Tho as
tronomer wheeled ronnd his teloscope until the
heavenly bodies seemed to marshal themselves
against the Bible, as the stars in their courses
fought against Sisera. Observatories and -universities
rejoiced at wbat they considered the
extinction of Christianity. They gathered
new courage at what they considered past vic
tory, and pressed on their conquest into the
kingdom of nature until, alas for them they
discovered too much. God's word bad only
been lying In ambush that, in some unguarded
moment, with a sudden bound. It "might tear
infidelity to piece.
It was as when Joanna attacked the city of
AL He selected 30,000 men, and concealed
most of them: then with a few men he assailed
the city, which poured out its numbers and
strength upon Joshua's little band. According
to previous plan, they fell back in seeming de
feat, but. after all the proud inhabitants or the
city had been brought out of tbclr homes, and
had joined in tko pursuit of Joshua, suddenly
that bravo man halted in bis flight, and with
his spear pointing toward the city. 30,000 men
bounded from the thickets as panthers spring
to their prey, and the pursuers were dashed to
pieces, while tho hosts of Joshua pressed up to
the city and with their lighted torches tossed it
into flame. Thus it was that the discoveries of
science t-eemed to give temporary victory
against God and tho Bible, and for a while the
church acted as if she were on a retreat; but,
when all the opposers of God and truth bad
joined in the pursuit, and were sure of tho
field, Christ gave the signal to His church,
and, turning, they drove back their foes in
shame. There was found to be no antagonism
between natnre and revelation. The universe
and the Bible were found to be the work of the
same hand, two strokes of the same pen, their
authorship the same God.
Again, learn the lesson that pride goes before
a lau. was any m" ever so tar up as llama",
who tumbled so far down? Yes, on a smaller
scale every day the World sees the same thing
Against their very advantages men trip into
destruction. When God humbles proud men,
it is usually at the moment of their greatest
arrogancy. If there be a man In yonr commu
nity greatly puffed unwith worldly success, you
have bat to stand a little while and you will see
him come down. You say, I wonder that God
allows that man to go on riding over others'
beads and
MAKING GREAT ASSUMPTIONS
of power. There is no wonder about it. Haman
has not yet got to the top. Prida is a com
mander, well plumed and caparisoned, but it
leads lorth a dark and frowning host. We
have the best of authority for saying that
"Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty
spirit beforo a fall." The arrows from the
Almighty's quiver are apt to strike a man when
on the wing. Goliath shakes his great spearin
defiance, but tbe small stones from the brook
Elah make him stagger and fall like an ox un
der tho butcher's bludgeon. Ho who is down
cannot fall. Vessels scudding under bare poles
do not feel the forte of the storm, but those
with all sails set capsize at the sodden descent
of the tempest.
Again: This Oriental tale reminds us of the
fact that wrongs we prepare for others return
upon ourselves. The gallows that Haman
built for Mordecii became the Prime Minister's
strangulation. Robespierre, who sent so mauy
to tbe guillotine, bad his own head chopped off
by that horrid instrument. The evil you prac
tice on others will recoil upon your own pate.
Slanders come home. Oppressions come home.

walking beside the very charger on which tou
exoected to ride others down. When Charles
the First, who bad aestrojed Strafford, was
about to be beheaded, be said, "I basely milled
an unjust sentence, and the similar injustice!
am now to undergo is a sensible retribution for
the punishment I inflicted on an innocent
man." Lord Jeffries, alter incarcerating many
innocent and good people in London Tower,
was himself imprisoned in the; same place,
where the shades of those whom be had mal
treated seemed to haunt him so that ho kept
co ing to his attendants: "Keep them off.
gentlemen! for God's sake, keop them off!"
The chickens had come home to roost.
Tbe -body of Bradshaw, tho English Judge,
-nlio had been ruthless and cruel in his deci
sions, was taken from bis splendid tomb in
Westminster Abbey, and at Tyburn bung on a
gallows from morning until night in the pres
ence of jeering multitudes. Haman's gallows
came a little late, but tbey came. Opportuni
ties fly in a straight line, and just touch us as
they pass from eternity to eternity, but the
w rongs we do others fly in a circle, and bow
ever the circle may widen out. they are sure to
come to the point from which they started.
There are guns that kick!
Furthermore, let the story of Haman teach
ns how quickly turns the wheel of fortune.
One day, excepting tbe King, Haman was the
mightiest man in 1'en-ia: but the next day, a
lackey. So we go up, and so wo come down.
You seldom find any man 2U years in tbe same
circumstances. Of those who, in political lifo
20 years ago, were tbe most prominent, how few
remain in conspiemty.
THE POLITICIAN'S FATE.
Political parties make certain men do their
hard work, aud then, after using them as hacks,
turn them o ut on the commons to die. Every
four years there is a complete revolution, and
about 5.000 man who ought certainly to be the
next President are shamefully disappointed;
while some, who this day are obscure and pov
erty stricken, will ride upon tbe shoulders of
tbe people, and take their turn at admiration
and the spoils of office. Ob, how quickly the
wheel turns! Ballot-boxes are the steps on
which men come down as often as they go up.
Of thoso who were long ago successful in tbe
accumulation of property, how few have not
met with reverses! while many of those who
then were straitened in circi Distances now hold
the bonds and ibo bank keys of the nation. Of
all tickle things in the world, fortune is tho
most fickle. Every day she changes her mind,
and woe to the man who puts any confidence in
what she promises or proposes! She cheers
when you go up, and she laughs when ion come
down. Oil. trust not a moment vour heart's
affections to this changeful world! Anchor
your soul in God. From Christ's companion
ship gather your satisfaction. Tbon, come
sorrow or gladness, success or defeat, riches or
poverty, honor or disgrace, health or sickness,
life or death, time or eternity, all are yours,
and ve are Christ's, and Christ is God's.
Again: this Hainan's history shows us that
outward possessions and circumstances cannot
make a man happy. While yet fully vested in
authority and tlie chief adviser of tbe Persian
monarch and eveiything that equipage and
pomp and splendor of residence could do were
his, nets an object lesson of wretchedness.
There aro to-day more aching sorrows under
crowns of royalty than under the ragged caps
of the houseless. Much of the world's afflu
ence and gaiety is only misery in colors. Many
a woman seatod in the street at ber apple stand
is happier than the great bankers. Tho moun
tains of worldly honor are covered with per
petual snow. Tamerlane conquered half the
world, but could not subdue his own fears.
Ahah goes to bed, sick, because Naboth will not
sell bim his vineyard. Herod is in agony be
cause a little child is born down in Bethlehem.
Great Felix trembles because a poor minister
will preach righteousness, temperance and
judgment to mine. From tho time of Louis
XII to Louis XVIII was there a straw-bottomed
chair in France that did not set more solidly
than tbe great throne on which the French
Kings reigned ?
COMPLETE WRETCHEDNESS.
Wero I called to sketch misery m its worst
form, I would not go upitbe dark alley of the
poor, but up the highway over which prancing
Burephall strike tho spatks with their hoofs
and betwesu statuary and parks of stalking
deer. Wretchedness is more bitter when
swallowed from gemmed goblets than from
earthen pitcher or pewter mug. If there are
young people here who aro looking for this po
sition and that circumstance, thinking that
w orldly success will bring peace of the soul, let
them shatter the delusion. It is not what wo
get. it is what we are. Daniel among,tbe lions
is happier than Iobuchadnczzar on the throne.
And wnen life is closing, brilliancy of worldly
surroundings will bo no solace. Death isTrttnd,
and sees no difference between a king and. his
clown, betwocn the Nazareno and the Athen
ian, between a bookless hut and a national
library. The frivolities of life cannot, with
their giddy laugh, echoing from heart to heart,
entirely drown tho voice of a tremendous con
science which says: "I am immortal. The stars
shall die, but I am immortal. One wave of
eternity shall drowi.tlme in its depths, bnt I
uuiuuuiviM. iaiwi auiiu nave a shroud
Of flame and tbe heavens flee at tho glance of
the Lord, bat I am lnraiortak From alt tho

andrlngsup. and ringsout the word'immor.
UV" A good conscience, and assurance of
life eternil through the Lord Jesus Christ are
tbe only securities
Tbe soul's happiness is too large a craft to
sail np the stream of worldly pleasure. As ship
carpenters say. it draws too much water. This
earth is a bubble, and it w ill burst. This lire is
a vision, and it will soon pass away., Time! It
is only a ripple, and It breaketh against the
THE
throne of judgment. Our days! They fly
swifter than a sbuttle, weaving for ns a robe of
triumph or a garment of shame. Begin your
life with religion and for its greatest trial you
will be ready. Every day will be a triumph,
and death will be only a King's servant calling
"you to a royal banquet.
TRIAL BEFORE SUCCESS.
In olden time the man who was to rocelve tho
honors of knighthood was required to spend
the previous night fully armed, and withsbleld
and lance to walk up and down among the
tombs of the dead. Throngh all the hours of
that night his steady step was heard, and, when
morning dawned, amid grand parade and tho
sound of cornets the honors of knighthood
were bestowed. Thus it shall be with the good
man's soul in the night before heaven. Fully
armed with shield and sword and helmet, he
shall watch and wait until the darkness fly and
the morning break, and amid the sound of cel
estial harpings tbe soul shall take tbe honors
of heaven amid tbe innumerable throng with
robes snowy white streaming over seas of
sapphire.
Mordecal will only have to wait for his day of
trinmpb. It took all tbo preceding trials to
make a proper background for bis after suc
cesses. The scaffold built for him makes all tho
more imposing and picturesquo tho horse into
whoso long white mane he twisted his fingers
at tbe mounting. You want at least two mis
fortunes, hard as flint, to strike fire. Heavy
and long-continued snows in the winter aro
signs of good crops next summer. So, many
have yielded wonderful harvests of benevo
lence and energy because tbey were a long
while snowed under. We must bavo a good
many bard falls before we learn to walk
straight. It is on the black anvil of tronble
that men hammer out their fortunes. Sorrows
tako up men on their shonlders and enthrone
them. Tonics are nearly always bitter. Men.
like fruit trees, are barren, unless trimmed
with sharp knives. They aro like wheat all
tbe better for tbe flailing. It required tbe
prison darkness and chill to make John Bun
Tan dream. It took JJelawaro ice and cold
feet at Valley Forge, and tbe whizz of bullets,
to mako a Washington. Paul, when he climbed
up on the beach of Mt-lita, shivering in bis wet
clothes, was more of a Christian than when the
ship struck the breakers. Prescott, the his
torian, saw better witbout bis eyes than he
conld ever have seen with them. Mordecai,
despised at tho gate, is only predecessor of
Mordecai, grandly mounted.
A BAD BREAK
In Sugar the Only Weak Fentnre In Wall
Street Alrnont Everything Shown
Gains an a Result of the
Bank Statement.
New Yokk, May 24. The stock market to
day was quiet but developed a strong tone in
the regular list, with the result of closingtbe
majority of stocks fractionally higher than last
evening. The operations were more than unu
sually large of late for professional account,
and operators were inclined to wait for the
bank statement, which was expected to be a
bad one, as tho absorption of money by the
Treasury was estimated at 51,700,000, while the
net gain from tho Interior was believed to be
1 1.100,000.
The issue of tbe bank statement, however,
showed a gain to the surplus reserve of over
51,000,000, and as Indicated by the growing ot
money yesterday tbe banks are in a stronger
position than for some weeks. This caused a
lively covering of shorts, and in the last half
hour of business iprices adrancod sharply, es
pecially in a few of tbe leading shares which
have been sold short to a largely of late.
The opening was rather heavy under tbe
sales of tbe professional element, bnt the regu
lar lis'- immediately developed a firm tone, not
withstanding the fact that there was great ex
citement in Sugar Refineries and a sharp and
material decline in its price from 90f last even
ing to 87. The stock was very feverish through,
out, but participated in the later revival and
recovered almost all of its early loss. Lead
was inclined to follow, but its movements, as
well as its animation, were on a much smaller
scale. Distillers' Trust, however, was a marked
exception, being advanced on the reported ab
sorption of opposition concerns and a promised
increase in tbe rate of dividend. In the regu
lar list tbe only stocks showing any important
movement was a step which was steadily appre
ciated even when the rest of tbe list were sag
ging, a tew specialties snowea wide nuctua
tions, but the rest of tbe list were traded in
over a narrow range. The close was active and
strong at about the best prices of the day.
Most stocks sbow slight gains for tbe day. but
Distillers Trust is up a ana bl i-aui l, wnue
Sugar is down 2.
Railroad bonds were quiet and displayed a
heavy tone throughout the session, with the
result of leaving most of the list only slightly
changed from last evening, white the few im
portant changes were about equally divided.
The sales reached $551,000, tbe business being
unusually evenly distributed. Among those
which are higher are Richmond and West
Point trust Es, 1 at 60.

Country Produce Jobblns Price.
There is an nnnsual scarcity of choice near
by eggs and markets are climbing upward.
Single case find ready sale at 16c per dozen,
and demand is beyond supply. Elgin creamery
butter is moving out freely at reduced rates.
The butter drift is toward a lower level. Straw
berries are In good supply, and qualltyis better
than at any time this season. Supplies in this
line are now chiefly from Norfolk and Balti
more. By another week home-grown berries
will be due. Choice tropical fruits are firm at
quotations. Oranges aro particularly strong
and supply is hardly up to demand. Lemons
are improving in demand and a few hot days
will, without doubt, give a decided stimulus to
markets. Choice potatoes are in good demand
at quotations.

Groceries.
Sugars are very strong and prices are a shade
higher. We expect to advance onr quotations
within a day or two. Raw sugars are very firm
for a few days past and granulated has already
advanced l-16c In Eastern markets. Coffee
options are still in favor of bulls and packages
must go higher soon if the present upward
drift is not arrested. The movement of gen
eral groceries is unusually active. May's
volume ot trade In this line will, no doubt,
eclipse any previous month, but margins are so
close that profits are far below many a previons
month.

Free Selling Cnnaea a Break In Wheal,
Which Bnd Crop News Fall to
Counteract Corn, Oats and
Pork Features.
CHICAGO A good business was transacted
in wheat to-day and trading was more
general both on tho buying and sell
ing side There was some buying at the start,
but the most urgent orders were soon filled,
and with rather free offerings a weak feeling
set in. Operators soon after the opening be
camo impressed with the idea that some one
was selling wheat very freely and loading up
the crowd, and this started a general desire to
realize. It was thought that parties who were
reported as being strong bulls the Dast few
days bad started to do some selling to-day, but
whether this was for tbe purposoof breaking
prices in order to get a better hold on the mar
ket or for tho purpose of unloading, it is diffi
cult to say. At any rate the feeling was un
settled. The opening sales for July were Ko under
the closing yesterday, held steady for awhile,
and then declined to a point 2c below outside
prices, fluctuated some and closed aboutlc
lower than yesterday. May closed about 2c
lower. August closed about 2c and Septem
ber about2jc lower than yesterday. All sorts
of bad corn news was again received from
various winter wheat sections, a good deal of a
repetition of the past few days.

Millers were again very slow buvers, only one
appearing to bo picking up anything and only
a small way. There was a fair demand for out
side account during tho early part of tbe ses

into store by elevators the demand was nothing
extra; elevator companies were willing to pay

HARNESS MAKERS ALL BUSY.
Tanners Report Trndo Good for the Season
Hides la Good Demand.
The active demand for harness leather noted
in this column last week has been arrested, but
prices are fully sustained. A lull in the trade
Is looked for In June. Allegheny tanners re
port that stock is unusually well sold up for
this season of tbo year. Two weeks ago some
were forced to decline orders, not being able to
mote than meet the demands of regular cus
tomers. Now the rush is over, and according
to precedent stock Is likely to accumulate un
til July, when the demand for tho fall trade
will open. Harness makers are unusually busy
in this city. All report great activity to trade.
At the national convention of tbo saddlery
hardware dealers and manufacturers, held at
Cincinnati last week, reports received from all
parts of the country, especially from the West,
which was most largely represented, showed
that the trade was novcr In a better condition
than it is now.
Said one of our leading harness leather tan
ners to-day: "I do not remember when harness
makers in this city were so busy as tbey are
now. Many are doing night work to catch np
to orders." The demand for sole leather is
light, and trade Is not satisfactory. Oak sole
leather is particularly dull. Belting leather is,
however, in excellent demand, and stock is go
ing out as fast as manufactured. One of the
largest sole leather tanners has of lato been
turning out belting leather chiefly, for the rea
son that demand is more active for this line of
goods. There has grown up a heavy export de
mand for tbis line of leather of late years.
Margins have grown so narrow that it has been
found necessary to locate the tannories as near
the bark sections as possible. One of the heav
iest manufacturers of tbe East has located tan
neries in the center of tbe bark regions of
West Virginia and the Cumberland Mountains
on account of the closo competition and car
row margins. Our Pittsburg manufacturers
find a better margin on belting than sole
leather of late, and on tho former aro still able
to hold tbe fort.
Tbe same condition exists In the hide market
as that already noted concerning haraess
leather. While tho late advance is sustained
markets have lost something of their strength.
The general tone of trade is weaker this week
than last. But as quality is steadily improving
and hides will soon be at their best, there is
llttlo probability of a decline from tbe late ad
vance. PRODUCE AND PROVISIONS.
Improvements In the Vegetable Line Despite
n Backward Keaion.
Tbe features of the past week in prodnco
markets have been the downward movement
in butter, and tho scarcity and sharp advance
in eggs. Tho supply of new cheese has been
far below demand. Qreen stuff and berries
from tbe South, which were delayed id tbo fore
part of tbe week by heavy rains, came to mar
ket much of it in bad shape. There has
been, however, a marked improvement in
quality of stuff arriving this few days past.
Nearby market gardeners repcrt the season
fully two weeks' behind the average time on
account of daily rains, and tbe utter impossi
bility of getting the grouud In a condition for
planting. Though new potatoes are coming In
freely from the South tho past weok choico old
stock Is firmly held at a shade better pric:s
than wero obtained a week ago. Tho poor pita
toes with which our markets wero overstocked
for somo time past, and which had a depressing
influence on the good are now well cleaned up
and prices aro firm.

this prosperous season. All jobbers report
great activity of trade, with no sign of falling
off in sight. Sugars and coffees and lower grade
teas show an upward tendency. In all. however,
markets are much stronger than at tbo begin
ning of tbe week.
Receipts of grain and hay have declined and
markets aro generally steady. Oats, shelled
corn and choice grades ot hay are firm atan ad
vance. Foraiewdays in the earlier-part of
tbe week flour was qnieter. bnt has recovered
its firm tone. Provisions move along in tbe old
ruts, with the only cbangos of c advance on
shoulders and c drop on lard. At tbe ad
vance shonlders are lyic lower than at this
time last year. Breakfast bacon is lc lower
than at that time.
Trade in the provision line is active, and a
good week's work has been recorded, according
to reports from our leading packers.
