BUSINESS IMPROVING.
The Voltimb of Business Komnrk-
nblo lor This Tlmo of tho Ycnr.
Tlilrtv-eit;lit Per Cent. Larger
Than Last Season.
New York, Jan. 21. R. O. Dun &
Co.'s wtekly review of trade will say
tomorrow:
Willi a volume of business remark
able for tho time of tho year, 38 pr
cent, largjr than a year ngo and 1.14
per cent, larger than in 1S92 In pcy
ments through clearing houses, It is
discouraging that one or two Indus
tries aro lagging. The demand for
most goods Is more heavy for the sea
son, manufacturing works aro better
employed and business orders booked
and prospects for tho future are more
encouraging, than nt this season In any
other year of which equally definite
records exist. Exports of products
continue surprisingly heavy In spite of
some rise In prices. Tho treasury re
ceipts from customs were lnrEcr in
twenty days of January than In the
entire month of October or November,
and apprehension regarding the mone
tary future Is no longer felt outside of
erectiliitlvo circles. Failures ate con
siderably smaller than were ever
known nt this season, both manufac
turing and trading less than half last
year's. Railroad earnings In January
thus far reported have been 17.fi per
cent, larger than last year, and 10,3 per
cent, larger than In 1&92.
Tho rise of wheat above a dollar In
regular sales was not accompanied by
signs of speculative excitement. In
fact, the continuance of extraordinary
exports, 2,!Uj,703 bushels, Hour Includ
ed, for the week from Atlantic ports,
against 1,173,215 last year, besides 4.03G,
S'iO from Pacific ports for three weeks,
would give excuse for high prices, even
if the corn exports were not enough to
suggest great foreign need, amounting
to 9,270,181' bushels against 10,774,293 for
three weeks. The fact that cargpes of
corn were shipped during the week
both to Egypt and Russia, the very
countries upon which Europe most re
lies for breadstuffs next to the United
States.iffected trade not unreasonably.
Just when unpiecedented production
of pig iron was causing wcauness, ex
traordinary demand for finished pro
dulcs appears. For this season, at
least, the general demand Is beyond
precedent, Including 10,000 tons steel
rails for the week and 1,200,000 already
this year, orders for plates so large
that Pittsburg works send away some
to other concerns, unable to till all they
receive, orders for bar such that many
concerns are obliged to refuse more,
an excellent demand for sheets, and
fair for structural forms. Nor does
this demand spring from efforts to
combine makers of wire and Its pro
ducts, and makers of tin plates. Prices
of nil ilnlshed products are sustained
by the demand, though' Bessemer pig Is
live cents louer at Pittsburg, but pig
at Chicago is strong with some pro
duction of ilnlshed forms delayed by
Its scarcity, tho great stilke of oper
atives In cotton mills of New England
seems as convenient to mill owners
with their heavy stocks unsold as If
they had ordered it. Probably It wilt
last long enough to work off stocks,
and the print cloth market Is already
about 1 per cent, stronger, v lille a
slight advance is noted in some other
cotton goods. With very stagnant
markets for wool, sales amounting to
only 5,393,200 pounds at the three chief
cities, which reported over 18,000,000 In
one week of September, and (50,500,000
In four weeks, tho Inquiry for sound
lots Is mainly for three-eights and
quarter blood, suitable for cheviots,
but have resulted in little dealing. Tho
mills have taken satisfactory orders for
such goods, probably not without
knowing whore they could get the
wool, and the goods movement Is dis
tinctly encouraging, though quotations
of the higher priced heavyweights lire
still defened. But a vety large busi
ness for the coming reason Is already
assured, according to reliable accounts
entitled to confidence.
Failures for the week have been .174
in the United States against 409 last
year, and 53 in Canada nsnlnst Co last
yen
Hoy and Unby.
From the Detroit Vree Press,
He Is a very young boy. ills Is the tike
whenalofty contempt for tho opposite sex
manifests Itself; the contempt which usu
ally llmls merciless retribution In later
years. His task of watching the liahy
was not as distressing as It might liuvo
been. Ho had utilized the baby carnage
as u cradle and bad found u place where
the floor sloped a little. Behind tho ve
hicle ho extended himself, and with head
on bund proceeded to read a story paper.
An occat-ional pull at n sttlnp fastened to
the rear axle Imparled tho motion neces
sary to keep tho slumuerer from waking.
Hut tho baby soon had Its nap out, ami
began to cry. The boy pai.-i no attention
to the noise, and after a while h.s sister
came to Investigate.
"Why don't you try to find out what's
the matter with baby?" she asked.
"Thero'u no use,'" ho answered, rolling
lnrlly over and letting go of the string.
"I suppose you aro soin.-f to ho thero
ami wait for it to learn to tall; so It can
tell you what it's crying aboiu'.'"
"No," he answered, "helns able to talk
wouldn't make much difference,"
Why not?"
Tieonuse It's a girl. Olrl.1 most alwavs
don't know what they're crying nhoul. It
just nr natural to them to do it."
A LITTLE SUFFERER
Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofulous Humors How a Curo
Was Effected.
"When Ave years old my llttlo boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. It
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands wero very bad.
It appeared in tho form of red pimples
which would Jester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to bo watched continually to keep him
from scratching tho sores. Wo becamo
greatly alarmed at liia condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and tho
only mediclno which had helpd her was
Hood's Sarsaparilla. Wo decided io givo
it to our boy and wo noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned."
William Daktz, 410 South Williams St.,
South Bend, Indiana,
You can buy Hood's Sarsaparilla of all
druggists. Bo sure to get only Hood's.

Wall Street Itovioiv.
New York, Jan. 21. Substantial frac
tional losses wero tho rule on tho Stock
Kxchango today. Sugar and Metropoli
tan were notablo exceptions, showing
gains of a2 points respectively. Sugar's
strength was attributable to Washington
advices that Hawaiian annexation waB
Improbable, and Metropolitan Street
Railway advanced on talk of further ex
tension, A disturbing element In specu
lation was the grave appearance of tho
Chinese situation with Japan mobilizing
her forces and Franco reinforcing her
Pacific fleet. Another matter that at
tracted considerable attention was tho
announcement from Wasmncton that a
vote would bo tnken next Thursday on
the Teller resolution. Commission hous
es seemed tho principal sellers during tho
day and there were largo realizations in
Northern Paclllc Preferred, which reced
ed ono point. Tho total sales were 292,000
shares.

THE MONTH OF JANUARY.
January was thus named by Numa
I'omplllo, whoso reign ended 672 H. C ,
In honor of .Tanvs (Latin "Janva," a
door), the deity supposed to preMdo over
doors.
o
January first did not become the Initial
day of tho legal year In England until
152.
o
According to "The Restitution ,of Do.
cayed Intelligence" (Verstegan, 1628), the
Saxons originally called this month
"Wolf-monat" (Wolf-month), "because
people were wont always In that month
to bo In danger to be devoured
of wolves."
o
Later it was called by tho same people
"Aofter-Yulo" (After Christmas).
o
Here are some nualnt old Knglish prov
erbs regarding January:
"If the grass grows In Jalnveer,
It grows the worse for't all the year."
"A January spring
Is worth naelhlng."
"March In Janlveer.
January in Jlarch, I fear."
"If January calends be summerly gay.
'Twill be wintry weather till the calends
of May."
"The blackest month In all the year
Is the month of Janiveer."
