COMMERCIAL gEVIEW.
General Trade Conditions.
New York (Special).—R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
General business continues its even
course with all the leading industries
well employed and with confidence ex-
pressed on every hand. Bountiful crops
of wheat seem assured and the damage
to corn, while considerable in some di-
rections, does not promise to be sui-
ficiently general or serious to at all im-
pede the progress of the country. Labor
troubles are in process of settlement and
speculators have been responsible for
most of the unrest which has been re-
flected in the markets.
Textile lines have settled in a steady
position that promises more lasting
prosperity than if prices had been forced
higher or sensational activity had fol-
lowed the altered attitude of buyers.
Grain crops this season are occasion-
ing much uneasiness among speculators
owing to the extremely {smplicated sit-
uation. Owing to latest official and un-
official prognostications there is reason
to anticipate the heaviest wheat yield
ever harvested, and making the custom-
ary allowances for domestic consump-
tion, even with the small supplies on
hand when the year opened, there ap-
pears available for export about 50 per
cent. more than went abroad in the year
of greatest shipments. Yet prices are
far above the low record and vigorous
rallies follow each decline. Extensive
needs abroad continue, the movement
from Atlantic ports for the week
amounting to 3,208,034 bushels, against
2,108,443 a year ago, and Western re-
ceipts were 4,579,378 bushels, against z,-
618,677 last year. Corn exhibited re-
markable strength, drought and heat
since July 1 giving reason to expect less
than the official report, which indicated
more than two billion bushels. This
cereal is now at an exceptionally high
point and estimates of 200,000,000 bush-
els for export are too high, as foreign-
ers will not buy freely at the enhanced
value.
Failures for the week numbered 208 in
the United States, against 196 last year.

Last Visit to Circus.
Talk had turned upon the old-time
circus. The man with the gray hairs in
his beard and whose front teeth were
unmistakably false, had only smiled at
some of the other stories.
“That reminds me,” he said finally,
“how I once paid $36 and lay in bed
for three days, living on liquid diet, in
order to see about half of three cheap
acts in one of those old one-ring cir-
cuses.
"I was a big, overgrown boy at the
time. I lived in a small town twelve
miles off a railroad, and when a small
circus billed the town and finally put up
its tent and side show on the vacant
lots next to our house, I didn’t like to
dig up the price. Especially I didn’t
like it when I noticed that the shed roof
of our coal-house slanted upward to-
ward the open space just under the edge
of the canvas roof of the main tent.
“So, while the ticket agent was busy,
I sprawled out on the sloping roof, face
down, with my head just over the edge
of the coal shed, looking over the heads
of the spectators inside the tent and
into the tinsel glories of the ring.
“And. incidentally, I was exactly in
that position when a circus roustabout
saw me and lifted me off the roof with a
hunk of coal that knocked out six as
good teeth as ever a man stuck into a
Ben Davis apple.
“And I've never
since.”

Ten Men Naturalized,
Ten men were naturalized by County
Judge Aspinall, in Brooklyn, N.Y.
but six others who wished to become
citizens failed to pass a searching ex-
amination. One of these was Argosti
Pelletrino, an Eastern District barber.
He correctly told the names of the
President, Vice-President, but said that
Van Wyck was the Govenror of this
State.
“How long has he been Governor?”
asked the judge.
“Eight years,” was the quick but as-
tonishing reply.
“How was he elected?”
“Elected all right,” said the candidate.
“Yes, of course, he was elected all
right,” exclaimed the judge, “but you
are rejected, all the same.”
Another failed to pass because he was
able to give the names of only two of
the States: another for saying that he
lived in “the State of Broadway,” and
still another because he declared that
Congress made the laws of New York
State.
All the latter candidates were told to
go home and study their lessons.
A Discoverer,
Bobby burst into the house in a state
of high excitement. His hands and
clothing were smeared with a liberal
amount of some sticky substance, and
his fage wore a glcw of triumphant sat-
isfaction.
“I say, mamma, those new people
across the way don’t know much!” he
xclzimed. “They've got a sign on
heir front door that says ‘Wet Paint.” ”
“And you are covered with it! You
ouglt to be ashamed of yourself!” said
his mother severely. “That sign was
put up to warn people to keep away
fron it.”
‘Yes, mamma,” persisted Bobby,

Eating.
It was only when the savages fell to
wrangling among themselves, some be-
ing for mayonnaise and others for a
curry, that the missionary was warned
ot the fate that awaited him.
“What!” he cried, in the utmost
alarm; “certainly you do not propose
eating me off my own table?”
The simple folk shrugged their shoul-
ders.
“We are no donation party,” protest-
ed they, “that we should eat you out of
house and home.”

An American visitor to this country,
annoyed at being pressed for settlement

ager.
“Just put that in writing, and I'll stay

the retort.

A Real Funny Story.
Old Tim Linkins, the barber of Wabash Ave-
nue, Chicago, is a great student of proverbial
philosophy, and he sometimes entertains his
customers, in the interval of a ‘‘gcrape’” or
‘“ hairout,” by his Apt applications of the well-
known proverbs of the past to the conditions
or requirements of the present. His regular
customers know his strong point, and many a
man who apparently goes in for a shave, is
really in search of a rest in a cosy chair, and
has a desire to hear “Tim” hold forth pro-
verbially. One day last week a stranger came
in for a shave, and as he stretched himself
wearily in the chair, Tim prepared to lather
him. The man incidently remarked that he
had intended coming in earlier in the day but
had been prevented. “Well, it’s better late
than never,” said Tim, smilingly. ‘Not al-
ways,” replied the stranger, slowly. ‘How
about loging your pocketbook ? I never lost
one until yesterday —never did, but I would
sooner have kept it. Now, why was it better
for me to loge it late than not at all?’ Tim
acknowledged that he was wrong and the man
continued : “Don’t know what I would have
done in my predicament, only an old acquain-
tance of mine on the Lake front let me have
twenty to go on with.” “Ah,” chipped in
Tim, “that was good! A friend in need is a
friend indeed.” ‘‘No, he isn’t,” snapped the
man who was being shaved. ‘There you're
dead wrong again. How can a friend in need
be a friend indeed ? I have a good many friends
who arealwaysin need and they are a nuisance
to me. Always on the horrow.”’ Tim thought the
problem over in his mind and reluctantly ad-
mitted that the man was right. He had al-
most made up his mind not to speak again
when the stranger continued, ‘Yes sir, they
are nuisances. Why, one of them fellows has
been calling on me for the past year and
threatens to get even with me some ‘way if I
do not loan him fifty dollars. He threatens
me at every visit.” “Oh, I wouldn’t mind
that,’’ replied Tim unconsciously, “you know
the old adage ‘A barking dog never bites.’ ”
“There you are again,” said the ‘shaves ’* as
he wiped a little lather from the corner of
his mouth. ‘‘Say, what do you know about
dogs, anyway, that you talk in such a silly
strain ? Have you ever ventured to go too
close to a barking dog,-—and if you did, what
did he do to you ? Did you ever know a bark-
ing dog that didn’t bite if he got the chance?
Tim said he couldn’t exactly call to mind any
canine acquaintance that strictly fulfilled the
claim in the proverb, and there was a silence
for a few minutes while his razor was glidin
over the man’s face. Then the barber is
to himself as he bethought him of a good joke.
“I suppose,” ho said, as he applied the bay
rum, “I suppose you don’t believe in the har-
bers’ proverb at all?’ “What's that ?*’ asked
the stranger, rising. “Two heads are better
than one,” answered Tim. ‘‘Of course yon
can understand why they are, in my business.
but I know you would like to say they would
be bad for a man with the headache or—”
‘““Nothing of the kind,” put in the other, smil-
ing. ‘‘One of your proverbs, at least, is right.
I happen to know that two heads are better
than one.” ‘‘Then you don’t object to that
old adage?” ‘Not atall. It is dead right.
And I would thank you very much if you have
any stray Lion heads at hand--those taken
from the Lion Coffee wrappers. My wife is
collecting them and she is about six shy of
the number required to get a Lady's Gold
Watch. You gee in this case “two heads are
better than one, and twenty are better than
ten.” ‘“‘Just so,” added Tim, cheerfully, “but
you see, my wife is doing the same thinz, and
expects a premium in a few weeks. So to her
also,‘two heads are better than one.’ ”’ “Well,
in that case,’’ said the stranger, as he paid
Tim for the shave and prepared to depart,
‘“you had better tell your wife to do the sams
as mine is doing. Save up the Lion heads
until after September 1st next, when the new
Premium List is issued. Then if she sends
them to the Woolson Swice Co., Toledo, Ohio,
she can have her pick of some very choice
presents.”

He went to the station with his wife
and children and demanded three hali-
fare tickets for his three youngest.
“How old are they?” asked the book-
ing clerk, su¥piciously. re
“Elivin years, all av thim.
triplets,” was the answer
“Fine youngsters,” said
“Where were they born?”
“Patrick was born in Cairo, Bridget
was born in Bombay an’ Mickey was
born in Madras,” was the proud reply.
They're
the clerk.
Clearly an Impostor.
“] am, indeed, glad to learn,” re-
marked the stranger, who had secured
a night's lodging at the home of the
whole-souled Methodist farmer on the
ground of being a member of the same
church; "I am glad to learn, I repeat,
that the parish in this settlement is in
so proseprous a condition, temporally
and spiritually.” J
“John Wesley,” called out the farmer
to his eldest son, “saddle the stranger's
horse.
‘parish.’ Good-by, sir. I've got no ill-
will again’ you, but you're a fraud.”
