BRADSTREET'S REVIEW.

An Increswil IJ*ir,-sMon in (lie Trade of the W'w:k NEW foRtt, N. Y., Jnne 0.—The past week, as recorded in special telegrams to Bradstreet's, shows an increased depression in general trade. The stoppage of the iron mills at the west cannot fail t» aft as a farther drag on trade. The volume of nicic'.iandise moved is not large. The demand for fall goods is below anticipations, and in transportation circles freight rates are lower than ever. From Chicaga to New York, 10 cento per 100 pounds for grain represents alow. Lake freights are as low as ever before, and yet tonnage and cars lie idle. The demand for the produce does not exitt, even at the very low cost of deliveiy. The banks at eastern and western centers continue to accumulate funds. Interest rates at the interior are lower than ever before, and in still other ways there are evidences of 'accumulating idle commercial machinery.

The industrial situation is complicated by the strike or lockout of 60,000 employes of western iroH mills, principally it Pittsburg, Wheeling, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Ft. Wayne, Indianapolis, Chicago, Soliet, St. J/oiiis, Milwaukee and Detroit. The manufacturers refused to sign the former rate for sheet Ioilers after the em pToves had-conceded a share of the pn posed reductions in other hnces. Hence which

The cotton market has been quite dull, spots closing at 10?c-, against 10.1o@lGc. last week, and futures an average of 10 points lower than on May 29. The dullness of the Liverpool market and the encouraging outlook for the new cotton crop in this country were the visible factors of depression.

Eastern wool markets are quiet. At the interior there is some excitement and prices are stronger. The new crop has not arrived at the east and lots of old on hand arc small. The report is current at the east that the Texas and territorial wool clips are 25 per cent, short.

The dry goods market is noticeably dull and jobbers do not express auy reasonable hope for auy improvement during the month. At Boston the vo'ume ot dry goods, staple isues, which has been disposed of during the past season is said to be of fair proportions, but there is much complaint as to prices realized The in-

The export demand is very light,_ "J™ even speculative trade has diminished. Special telegrams to this journal report warm weather with mild rains in the Mississippi and Missouri valleys. The corn crop there has all been planted. Die Michigan wheat crop promises to equal the heaviest yield in that state. 1 he spi ing wheat crop is progressing finely and is up six or eight inches, with favoring conditions. The Pacific coast wheat crop now promises to be about 12,000,000 short of 1884. The first car load of California wheat has reached San Francisco, the earliest on record, and a sample lot sold at$1.42J. There is no reported improvement in the prospect tor wheat in Illinois, Indiana or Ohio. No. 2 red at Isew I ork closed at $1.02 against $1 a week ago. Indian corn has been moderately steady. Increasing shipmentseastprevented much advance. Planting generally has been in excess of 1884, No. 2 mixed closes at 53c., against 52c. on May 2!). Oats hdve been relatively firmer, but closed at38'c., against 37c. for cash.

Flour is ofl about 25c oer barrel on the weok. The western output continues to decline. The report of stocks of flour jn receivers' hands at New \ork shows 22i,005 barrels, against net 13b,000 May 1, and 221,000 barrels January 1, last. Spring wheat flour stocks here have increased nearly 100 and winter over 50 }er cent, since May 1.

The movement of grocery staples has beeu fair. Sugar is weak ana lower. Coffee is barely steady. Dairy products are depressed and at times almost panicky.

A BIG FAILURE.

Governor Hale of New Hampshlre-His Liabilities Said to Foot lj a Million Dollars

CONCORD, N. H., June (i.-Ex Governor Hale, of New Hampshire, whose residence is in Keene, has failed with large liabilities. His house in Keene and his interest in the Keene Chair company were aitaclied Tuesday with claims amounting to over $100,000. It is reported thai the liabilities may reach $1,000,000. The attaching parties are Mr. Sparkes, ex-Gov-ernor Hale's agent, and several of the national banks of Keene. It is not known to what extent the liabilities are secured. Several other banks in various parts of New England, it is understood, hold Mr. Hale's paper to a greater or less extent. It is reported thai Senator Blair and Frank W. Jones are among the chief indorsers of ex-Gov ernor Hale's paper. The attachments placed on ex Governor Hale's property amount to $477,000. Among the principal creditors are the Wacbuset National bank of Fitchburg, Massachusetts, $50,000 C. A. Parkes, Boston, $30,000 the Keene National bank, $30,000 the Monadnock National'bank of East Jaffrey, $15,000 the Winherden Savings bank, $12,000 John H. Butrick.of Boston, $12,000 Messrs. Whitney & Bro.. of Keene, $12,000 the Ashuelot National bank of Keene. $10,000 the Citizens' National bank of Keene, $10,000, and George F. Baker, of Boston, $10,000.

It is said that one year ago rr. Hale statement of his financial standing as tiled with Bradstreet's agency over his own signatures showed him to be worth $700,000, with liabilities of $100,000. The assets in this city :uv very light, consilsing onlv of Mr. Hales residence and the land and water privilege of the burned chiir factory. It is rumored that Mr.

It is doubtful whether the stoppage will be long continued, although the Amalgamated association declare they will all remain out to help the sheet rollers No effect has been felt on the iron market yet. The. unemployed capacity of the mills still running is believed to be sufficient to meet a larger demand.

WITHOUT CHANGE? -W r—:—

The .Situation at the Hail Works Remains Unchanged. There are no new developments in the situation at the Nail Works. The Ama! gamated scale presented to the company last Tuesday remains without being signed. The nailers'scale has also not been signed. It is thought the strike, or more pioperly speaking, the lockout be tween the Amalgamated, association and manufacturers will culminate in a short time by the latter accepting the Amalgamated scale. The Nail Works company will not sign the scale until some decision is reached in the east. Superintendent Glover, of the Nail Works, stated that the demand last week was good. There are between 20,000 and 25,000 kegs of nails stored away. This amount will supply the demand for some time. In regard to starting up, Superintendent^ Glover said that there "l would be. .,

The Wabash Rolling mill is still idle, and probably Will be for several weeks. The report that the Greencastle mill had signed the Bcale is untrue. The works are running by special agreement between the men and the company.

In shaking of the situation, the ISa .ional Lalior Tribune says: The fight has narrowed down to one against the Amalgamated association, and not against its scale nor any part thereof. Every device is being resorted to to make the men dissatisfied, and break up the Amalgamated association. A manufactuier is quoted as saying: "This will be a fight not so much about wages as against the Amalgamated association. The manufacturers will have no more to do with the workmen's committee. Each individual firm wjll henceforth make the best terms they ca,n with their own men. "If they run non-union they will not be bound to pay the same wages for any fixed term. That will be better than the sixtv-day clause," remarked the reporter. "Why, ceitainly," asserted the gentleman, with a chuckle. "We need only (,ive a week's notice of a reduction. There is a volume in that. Unity of action among the men is what they want to break up. They know that as long as the men are united just so long are the manufacturers kept from enforcing a reduction everv week. All that is needed on the part of the men is harmony and a still tongue, and all will come out right.

THE FLOUR MILLS.

A Light Production by Week.

tion.

the Mills Last

The production ot flour the past week week by Terre Haute mills hits been very light, somewhat lest than last week. The market is reported dull, especialy in the east. The millers seem to have a disposition not to force the product upon the market fearing that it would causc a still greater depression. Opinions of the prospect in the future are bright. The pres c'.nt dullness will continue until harvest, when it is expected the market will become better and American flour can get into foreign markets. Last week the Avenue millsran day turn. The Waba&hmills were iu operation but at a low capacity Hudnut's hominy mill ran day turn. Conant & Son rtn five days during the week and turned out about 500 barrels. Jenckes & Mering's mill ran Thursday, Friday and Saturday for the purpose of supplying city orders. Paddock's mill ground three davs during the week. Mc Keen Bro'=. is still idle.

Mining Notes.

The stride at Minshall, Parke county, continues. The Nickel-Plate coal company, Brazil, employed 287 miners during May and 51 workmen at various other branches about the mine. Per day the. NickelPlate can hoist 750 tons of coal.

The Brazil Democrat devotes nearly live columns of space to the_publication of letters from miners regarding the controversy over the various contracts in the district. The controversy has drifted considerably from the main points under discussion. A contributor suggests that the disenssion be confined tor First. Is it necessary for the welfare.of the"miners that one price should be paid for digging all over this block coal district? Second. Is it to our benefit to settle the digging price for twelve months at one figure or two viz: a summer and winter price?

Courting by the Firelight.

Merchant Traveler. Uncle Davy was giving the boys some advice in their love-making affairs, and one of them asked him how the young people did when he was sparking. ''Them was great times, boys," he said iu reply, "great times. We didn't have no gas, nor no kerosene, nor no newfangled notions, and we done our sparkin' by a plain tallow dip but most frequently just by the firelight. Firelight is warmin' boys, and flickers just enough to make a girl's eyes shine and the peach blossom glow ill her cheeks. It's mighty soft and purty, too, and kinder reaches out and melts two hearts together in a way none of your gaslights knows anything about. Sometimes the fire shined up a little too powerful in places, and the young man would git up without savin' anything, and put a shovelful of iishes on it. Then he would cuddle up the girl in the shadows •and she would cuddle some too, and it reallv didn't seem like there was anything else in the whole big round earth to be wislied for. Pretty soon the fire would get obstreperous again, and the little flames would twinkle in and out, as if thev wanted to see what was goin' on, or hai seen and \yas laughin' and winkin' about it and havin' some fun, too, and the young fellow would reach for the shovel and the ashes and cover the bright blazes all up. And sometimes—remember, now, only sometimes—the girl would get up and put ashes on, and then—well, boys, when the bluebirds came in the spring, and the fishin' worms crawled out of the ground, and the boys sat on the sjreen banks of the little creek" waitin' for a bite, and the johnny-jump ups nestled in the sunnv places, there was a weddin' in the old "house, and the purty bride wore apple blossoms in her hair, and the awkivard youDg fellow blushed in his store clothes and tight boots and when the winter came they sat by their own tire, and the shovel and the ashes was out of a jqIi."

A Remarkable Case.

Several weeks ago a 16-year-old boy named Fred Price fell on a buzz-saw, at Jones' saw mill, in Lost Creek township. One hip was almost cut away, the bones being crushed and splintered. It was thought that he could nol recover, but he held on to life. The reporter was told vesterdaV that the boy was in a fair way

THE KXPKK8S, TJ

BAR-ROOM OPENINGS.

The Fashionable Way of Attracting the Patronage of Desirable Customers. New York Bun. "Openings" have grown into-occasions of great consequence in New York. A man who opens a liquor store quietly and unostentatiously and without a flourish is looked upon nowadays as far behind the times. The spirit of advertising has as strong a hold upon liquor dealers as it has upon dry gCods men, and as saloons just now are running riot in gaudy decoratioue, which are paid for out of the profits on poor liquor, liquor men are naturallv anxious to have their places known. Hence the popularity of the opening. Openings have become so nu merous, and have become such a feature of the daily life of men about town and rounders, that the term has become absorbed by liquor dealers, and wTien an opening is spoken of it is tacitlv understood that it refers to a barroom," and not to any other place of in* terest. It is said that a man arrives at trne local eminence when he receives cards for openings in New York. All sorts of men are invited, including the mayor, board of aldermen, city officials, hotel men and steamboat captains. The cards of invitation vary in size and style, but are uniformly elegant in design and linish. Some of the latest are on heavy cardboard, with beveled edges, and clothed in envelopes more or lesi bellished by a picture of the propnetdr of the saloon. At such times liquor and wine are ladled out freely to the guests, and most of those invited are" sent home with such bewildering "heads" that they remember the place forever afterward. The amount of wine which is necessary to put a longremembered head upon a well-seasoned rounder is, of course, considerable, and the cost of opening is proportionately great. One occurred up town yesterday on Broadway. It is a spacious saloon, with beveled mirrors, gilded bar, polishec furniture and bright brass work galore.

The opening began at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. At 10 o'clock it was at its highest point, and the most blase of rounders pronounced it a. distinguished success- The proprietor had begun drinking the health of his friends at 3 o'clock with a sedentary result at 10. He is a good-natured man, and seemed happy and contented. Everybody went in and shook hands with him warmly. He was sitting in an arm-chair with a great deal of determination and persist-

ency.^ dozens of bo'.tles were around him his eyes were about closed, his hair rumpled, and a genial smile played around his lips. At intervals of. one or two minutes he would say "huroor' feebly, and wish his friends many happy days.' The friends were doing justice to the occasion. A lot of the Seventh regi ment men in one corner were sending up their characteristic shout at intervals clinking glasses, and guying the group rapper brokers who stood against the bar with the determination of long habit and-.much success. No end of popular actors were sandwiched around in groups and the place re-echoed with shouts o:: laughter continually. The bar-keepers— a lithe,' quick, and dexterious pair of men—worked rapidly, and their results were entirely successful. One of them was asked during a brief interval of rest who supplied the list of men who were in vited to an opening. "Well," he said, "we get names everywhere. Certain Wall street men, like Larry Jerome and Waldo Sprague, who are well-known to evervbody, are asked as a matter of course. 'Phey have friends and they bring their friends with them Then hotel clerks very often write out lists of-men whom they know to be good livers, and the bar-keepers draw from their o^n^flffaiat^e-

WHY THEY DO NOT MARRY.

A Young Wouian Explains a Social Problem—The Male Deteriorating. Now York Mail and Express.

At a small party of workers and thinkers a few nights ago, says a letter-writer in tbis city, I was in a group that discussed the distaste for marriage which characterizes the girlhood of the day One young lady had fortified herself with a newspaper clipping on the subject, which she drew from her pocket and read, as further substantiating her position. It was to the effect that husbandhunting maidens, .young or old, were very much scarcer than of yore that instead ot being anxicus to marry, girls were slow of inducement in that direction. "It is true," said a youug lady. 1 scarcely know a girl who wants to marry. They ale learning something in the way of professions, something that will interest them as well as support them—two roles in which husbands just now fail. The truth is, we a-e all scared away from any desire te marry hy seeing how wretched" those who do marry are. Where would we look for husbands? Among the 'snips' and 'sports' and characterless young men that fill our .drawing rooms? They are insufferable as mere acquaintances or besux who could countenance them as husbands? I have always thought that if I could find a young man at all like my father I could love him andmarrv him but that school of men has vanished from the young ranks."

Nobody doubts that she expressed the convictions of a large representation of young women. Their lack of interest in marriage is not due to the larger activities which continually open before women, but to the unattractive, unreliable material in the way of husbands. Women are women, and would love and marry as readily to-day as when the earth was new if they came in contact with men who arouse their respect and admiration. The order of maidenhood that could content itself with an inferior article of husband merely for the sake of being married has also vanished. The young woman of the period has too much character and self-respect that she would contract an uncongenial union to escape it.

The same evening I had a chat with my bright young hostess about inefficient men, a sort of annex to the conversation just recorded. She wondered what would become of the human race if the men kept on-deteriorating at the rata ol the last twenty years. She declared it was almost exceptional for the young men of first-class society to support their wives. They married' into rich families, and at the end of two or three years were pensioners on the relations of their wives. "It is- astonishing," she said, "how few young woman who are supposed to be rich really depend upon their husbands for luxuries or even support Their fathers or grandfathers furnish the money that supplies their homes oftener than the outside world knows of. Indeed, the daughter of the rich man is more to be pitied tiuui the girl who fights poverty. She see^Hewer real men. Naturally she fancies that her ideal men must

THE VALE OF CASHMERE.

The Land of Romance

Casnmere is an elevated or inclosed valley in the Himalaya mountains, north of the Punjab. It is surrounded by lofty hills, with one opening on the west, by which flows out from the valley the river Punjab. The enclosing hills on the north and east belong to the Bars L&cha chain, and on their outer side is the broad mountainous region which holds the valley of thetipper Indus, and which, beyond the Indus, culminates in the great parallel range of Karahorum, or Mustagh. On the wteit and south the hill boundary, which joins the other half of the incloS' ure at the southern end of the valley, is the Panchal range, which, on its outer side, sends down lis branches southward through the Jamn'te-vitory to thdrplains of tlis Punjab. The length of the Cashmere Valley, including^ the inner slopes of its surrounding hills, is about 120 miles from the northwest to the southeast. Its greatest width is about seventy five miles. The low and comparatively level floor of the basin is eightv-four miles long and twenty to twenty-four miles broad Its lower part is 5,200 feet above the sea and its mean height is 6,000 feet.'

The level plain in the middle of the valley is fine clay and sand, with waterworn pebbles. The karewas consist of horizontal beds of clay and sand, the lacustrine nature of which is shown by the shells which they contain. The hills surrounding tire valley are chiefly gneiss and schists. In the Lindar valley are slate and sandstones of the carboniferous period over green slate of a period correspondiBg to Silurian. The irregular ridge of the Panjal range are granite and gneiss, with schists and slates. Limestone is found in parts in the east and west ends of the valley, and in the hills upon the Manas Bal Lake. In various places are marks of glacial action, down to a height of about 500 feet above the level part of the basin. From the plain

rise isolated hills of traps among these are the Hari Parbat and the Takht-i-Suliman at Strinager, on the former of which stands the fort, and on the latter conspicuous and well known ancient Hin Hoo temple. No fossils have been found in Cashmere below the rocks of the carboniferous period. The chief resources of the Maharaja's dominions are outside the Cashmere valley, specially in Ladak.

The valler of Cashmere, sheltered frem the southwest monsoon by the Panjal range, has not the periodical rains of India. Its rainfall is irregular, greatest in the spring months. Occasional heavy storms in the monsoons pass over the crests of the Panjal and eive heavy rain on the elevated plateau^ side. And

The highest monthly average of temperature from May to "October at Srinagar is 89° in the shade at noon. There has been no' regular winter register, but the temperature is never very low.

Much has been said and written about the beauty of the Vale of Cashmere, Spring encircles a fresh, green, smiling valley with a noble belt of snow-capped ridges: autumn fills the eye

with the wonderful richness of the many' colored foliage. At all times flows on the quiet glassy river, showing back the groves and avenues upon its banks, the strange, tall, shadowy wooden houses, and the craggy hills. There is no place or season wnich has not something to show of reaf beauty. The rapturous praises of Mohammedan writers may be often extravagant and it is with some of their materials, reproduced with more modern additions, that Moore has built up a great part of his romance still few will really think that here extravagance and fiction have left truth much too far behind.

Many Englishmen every year resort to. Cashmere for shooting. The gamei 8 in consequence now onJy to be found within reduced areas of more secluded little valleys and more difficult hill-sides, and many sportsmen now cross over into Ladak. The animals chiefly sought in both countries are the ovis ammon, oyii poli, antelope, ibex, mar-khor or wild goat, uinsk deer, Thibetan stag, brown and black bear and leopard. In various parts of Cashmere are to be found the fox, lynx, weasel, marmot and hare. The black and gray monkey is common on the Panjal range. Cashmeie has the snow pheasant, snow owl, wild goose, duck and teal the eagle is also found.

The Cashmere valley lias a large number of old buildings of the Hindoo period, interesting in style, which is peculiar to Cashmere, and, from the traces which many of them bear of Greek art. Their ruinous condition is ascribed partly to Sikandar, the idol-breaker, partly to earthquakes, which are frequent in Cashmere. The most ancient of these buildings (about 220 B. C.) is the temple of Shankar Achavra (or, as it was formerly called, of Juiasht Iswar) on the hill at Srinagar, known as Takht-i-Suliman, or Solomon's throne, a designation thought to be a Mohammedan adaptation of the name of Raja Sandhaman, who repaired or rebuilt the temple.. The other Hindoo buildings-njpstly belong to thfe time from the fifth to the tenth century. The chief points which distinguish them from Hindoo'buildings in India are the trefoilheaded doorways and recesses, high pediments, high, straight-lined, pyramidal roofs and fluted pillars.

The Temple of the Sun at Mattrand or Matan has been one of the fipest. It occupies a very striking position on a karewa or natural terrace about three miles from Islamabad, and commands a splendid view of the valley of the Juelum. Of the others tjie most worthy of notice are the retoains of two of the four temples at Avantipur, fifteen miles southeast of Srinagar, the Tempfb of Bhnmzo, ne*r Marttrand, bnilt in a cave Payuch.on the karewa of Naunagar, near Avantipur, a small temple of the whole superstructure built of six stones Pandretan, three miles southeastof Srinagar, standing with its floor below the water in a tank Bhaniar and Kutrui, a few miles west of Baramula, both backed by fine wooded cliffs crowned with deodars. A mound,: with masonry in and aoout it, at the village of Ushkara, near Barunula, is supposed to be the remains of- a' Buddhist tope, the place taking his name from Hushka, one of the Tarter kings of Cashmere.
