REVIEW OF TRADE.
Dradstreet'a Report on Conditions ot
Ilusloea Throughout tho Country.
NEW YOIIK. Nov lO.-Bradstrecfi
review of trade says:
It is from that long time barometer ot
trade, the iron business, that relatively
the best reports as to the demand and
prices come. While a considerable Vol
ume of business was undoubtedly placed
just previous to election, the quantity
of sales reported since has been very sat
isfactory. Chicago reports the past
weck'B sales of pig at 75,JOO tons, the
largest of any week this year. A similar
report comes from liirmiughain, where
1 10,000 tons are reported placed within
the ptist 10 days, while I'ittshurg reports
tlie sales of finished material tho heav
iest since last spring. A similar report
as to sales of pig iron comes from Cincin
nati. The iron vales hove been largely
at an advance of 50 to 75 ceuts per ton,
while bars, plates and structural mate
rial have cither advanced or the makers
are now holding meetings to agree upon
increases. A heavy business has been
also done in rails at full prices. Some
heavy sale3 cf bridge muteriul and
structural steel are reported at New
Y rk. Tin is slightly higher after the
late weakness. Hopefulness as to im
provement in fall demand, uow thit the
eliction Is over, and cold weather lias
arrived, is reported in all sections, but
nowhere Is the feeling of confidence so
marked as In the South. Iu the West
drygoods, clothing, shoes nnd hardware
are moving better. In the East leather,
shoes, wool, tobacco ami coal are firm,
and the outlook for business Is regarded
as favorable.
Wheat, including flour, shipments for
the week, auercgatn 3,555,507 bushels,
against 3,012,-121 last week. Corn ex

A COIN TRICK.
Vonnn Man Aatnnlnhed the Clerks Ta
a IlnnU hj- a l'ent of Ilnlnnolna;.
A young man from a wholesale house
down on tbe river front presented a
check at one of the banks the other day
and while the money was being counted
out amused himself by balancing coins en
the narrow edge of the paying teller's
window. Finally he performed an as
tonishing feat. He first biiluneed a sil
ver dollar so it stood up on edge, then
placed a half dollar edge to edge on top
of it and completed the pyramid wjth a
bri;ht new quarter. His manipulation as
he deposited the coins one on the other
wns beautifully delicate, and the specta
cle of all threi standing without support
made the teller's eyes protrude from their
sockets.
"Why, thut's perfectly amaiing!" he
exclaimed. "I wouldn't have believed it
could be done!" The other attaches look
ed and marveled.
"It takes a steady nerve to do It," said
the young nan carelessly, and, sweeping
the coins with a dexterous grab, he drop
ped them into his pocket, picked up his
money and strolled out. It was not a
busy hour, and after be was goue all
hands began balancing silver, or, rather,
trying to. The thing was as fascinating
as the old "pigs In clover" puzzle, because
one could come so near without doing it.
Nearly everybody suceeded In balancing
the first dollar, and a few managed to
poise the fiO cent piece for an luiiultes
i in ii I. brenthelss instant, but it always fell
down again, and that was us fur along
as any one could get. For an hour or so
there wus silver all over the floor, and
the bookkeeper had to make good a dollar
that rolled into a crack. Next day the
dexterous young man sauntered in with
another cheek.
"We were all trying that balancing
trick of yours yesterday," remarked the
teller ns he handed over the bills, "but
none of ns could do it. You're right when
you say It takes steudy nerves."
"Y-e-s," leplled the young man, grin
ning, "and it's also facilitated by a little
shoemaker's wax on the edge of the
coins." Boston Herald.
Tiise Thnt Confused the Lawyer.
Young Symple wus at a club dlnnet
the other evening and trbd to make an
Impression on a well known lawyer whe
sat next to him. But the man of luw
did not appreciate the attentions of hit
neighbor.
"I suppose you gentlemen have some
strain?), cases to deal with at times," ob
served Symple.
"Yes," answered the lawyer.
"Some very puzzling cases," said th
young man, trying again "case that al
most confuse you. and er r"
"Just so," said the legal gentleman, S
look of determination overspreading hit
coiintei'.niiee. "I knew a man once whe
bad a case to deal with of the kind yoo
mention. He gave his full and undivided
attention to that case during the whole,
of one night, and when he had fiuisbed
be really diil not know which side of tbs
ca m' In was on, he was so confused."
"Really!" exclaimed Symple, delighted
nt having drawn the lawyer at last.
"Most Interesting! What kind of cast
was It?"
"It wus a case uf whisky," replied the
