MCCLURE'S MAGAZINE.
McClure's Magazine takes its first grasp the on reader's attention with eight portraits of Lincoln (several of them very rare,) some twenty other Lincoln pictures and an account, abounding in vivid per sonal details, of Lincoln's misfortunes as a country merchant of his entrance into the legislature, and the begining of his acquaintance with Douglas of his work as a village postmaster and a deputy county surveyor of his study of Shakespeare and Burns and a copy of Blackstone found by chance in a barrel of refuse and of hi-i romantic courtship of Ann Rutledge, and his affliction at her death shortly before the time appointed for their marriage.

IMPROVEMENT SMS.
A Good Spring Trade in Business Promised.
R. G. DUN & COMPANY'S REPORT.
It Is Now Believed That the First Payment For Bonds Will Cause No Further Pressure and the Money Markets Are
Easier—Demand For Iron aud Steel. Wheat Advanced—Failures. NEW YORK, Feb. 1.—R. G. Dun & Company's weekly review of trade says: Though business is still waiting there are some signs of definite improvement. It is now believed that the first payment of bonds will cause no further pressure and the money markets are easier as respects loans on collateral, though the difficultv of making commercial loans still check operations. But large maturities at the end of January have been met more satisfactorily than was expected and merchants and bankers report that the signs promise a good spring trade. No increase appears as yet in the demand for the principal products, unless for some forms of iron and steel, in which good contracts have been made this week, and uncertainty as to congressional action still affects industries and commerce, but the increase in inquiry and the reports of dealers are deemed assurance of large trade coming whenever the uncertainty is over.
Signs of improvement in the iron and steel business are gratifyiug even though they spring from combinations which have raised tlie price of coke and allotted the output of lake iron ore. There is also a berter demand for wire nails after long stagnation and also iur sheets. Pig iron is rather weaker, southern works conipoliting sharpiy while speculative buyers of soiue months ago are selling below present furnace prices, but the average for all products is practically unchanged and 11.4 per cent below the highest last year. Coke production has again been cut down 10,975 tons in a single week. Minor metals are strengthened a shade by speculation.
The cotton mills are discussing curtailment of production, as goods continue weak with an output largely exceeding distribution, though the week has brought considerably more inquiries and a larger spring trade is still hoped for. Woolens are practically unchanged as each passing week of open weather diminishes the prospect of profitable business while jobbers, clothiers and retailers have considerable stock of heavy goods remaining. Sales of wool at the three chief markets, 9,945,630 pounds, domestic, in January, against 13,604,915 last year, but 14,074,900, foreign, against 9,551,550 last year have diminished of late, manufacturers buying only for present needs.
Wheat has again advanced about 3 cents for cash, but only 1 1-2 cents for May, although Atlantic exports are little larger than a year ago, and for four weeks, flour included, have been 8,403,765 bushels, against 7,372,584 last year. Neither this fact nor the continued excess of western receipts for the week— 2,381,912'bushels, against 1,226,012 last year—explain an advance for which the basis or the excuse must be sought in foreign advance.
Cotton is a shade lower than a week ago, notwithstanding strong arguments by Neill and others, but receipts from planters go on at nearly the same rate, spinners' takings fall behind last year as before, and the marketing of goods does not support the brilliant estimates of increased consumption this year. Exports in January have been 50 per cent less, spinners' takings 35 per cent less, and receipts have been larger, but spinners' takings and exports both smaller than in 1892-3 from a crop of 6,700,000 bales.
Failures this week have been 404 in the United States, against 354 last year, and 70 in Canada against 54 last year.
CITIZENSHIP RIGHTS DENIED.
An American Compelled to Do Service to the German Empire. HAMMOND, Ind., Feb. 1.—William Carl Johann Scliweder, a resident of Cook county, Ills., is asserted to be a victim of a flagrant violation of the rights of American citizenship by the German empire.
He is doing military service in the Prussian army, into which he was drafted last summer, and all efforts made thus far to secure his release have bceu futile.
Scliweder left Germany Sept. 26, 1889, coming to West Hammond with his parents. He was naturalized in due time by a Chicago court. By a mistake of the clerk the papers were made out in the name of William Scliuader.
Scliweder returned to his old homo iti Germany on a visit last July, and upon his arrival at Stettin was pressed int.o military service.
Foui- months ago copies of his naturalization papers were sent to Germany, but were returned, indorsed: "The man named within cannot "be found."
Scliweder wrote to his father a few weeks ago that he was still doing military duty, and now steps are being taken to secure his release. The facts will be presented to Secretary Gluey at once.
Suspicion of a Foul Murder. VANDALIA, Ills., Feb. 1.—Evidence of afoul murder lias been unearthed near Patoka, 14 miles south of here, by the finding of a lot of charred human anes, supposed to be those of a man named Smith, a nephew of Thomas Smith. Smith left oil horseback two months ago, and since then nothing has been heard of him. A few weeks after liis disappearance a horse was found tied to a tree in the woods, aud from all appearances died from starvation. Tramps were seen in the vicinity aud a deserted camp was found. A large hollow tree had been set on fire by the tramps, and in the ashes were discovered the human bones.
Horrible Crime in Kentucky. LOUISVILLE, Feb. 1.—A special to The Times from Lexington says: News of a horrible crime in Perry county, in which Thomas Combs, alias Thomas Burton, went home drunk Wednesday night aud brained his wife with a club. The woman was found Thursday morning lying on the floor with her head mashed to a jelly. Burton has escaped. A posse is jafter liim in the inpuntains.
