BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

Dun and Bradatreet Report a Better Feeling.

Adjournment of Congress and Cessation of the Gold Outflow Factors In Bringing It About—Improved Demand for Goods Anticipated.

New York, March 9.—R. O. Dun A Co.'s weekly review of trade says: “Congressional adjournment, and proof that though the rate of exchange rises to and even above the shipping point, gold does not go out, hove produced u much better feeling. Prices do not improve, and there is on the whole no gain, but some loss in wag es while strikes of 15,000 coal miners near IMttsburp’h and several thousand building-workers here, besides strikes in ten or twelve textile and Iron establishments, further lessen purchasing power for the time. But anticipation of improved demand for goods is general, and many are manufacturing beyond present needs on the strength of it. Fears of financial disorders no longer retard, though the redemption of notes has averaged 1221,000 per day for the month, but the fact that only $302,704 in gold has been exported since February 2. against $20 532 930 in January, strengthens the impression that further imports will somehow be prevented. Wheat and Corn. • Wheat has risen three-eighths of a cent because of rumored injury to growing gram in some states. Stocks in sight are numerous and western accounts make the stock of wheat in farmers' hands very large Corn has declined a quarter, though the receipts are not half of last year's, with exports insignificant Pork, lard and hogs are a shade higher, and beef hus advanced to the highest point since J The Iron Industry. “Three causes help the iron industry for the time—expectation of another great strike at coke works, reports that Bessemer lake ore will advance, and a moderate increase in demand for products. The increase in demand is on the whole small, much of it due to new building throughout the country and some to better orders for sheets and wire nails, while wire rods and plates are in fair demand, but. prices have not advanced "Strikes to resist reduction of wages in several textile works and reductions effected in some others by no means contradict the accounts that the mills nro receiving somewhat better orders. Prices of goods are very low, and print cloths have fallen to 2.44 cents below any former record. Hoots and Shoes. "The market for boots and shoes is still unsatisfactory. most jobbers holding that it is not possible to sell at an advance, and the slack demand for grades in which no advance is asked supports them, but somewhat more orders have been given this week at prices asked, enabling some factories to resume In part. Failure Record. “Liabilities of failures In February amount to $11,250,122, against $17,895,670 lust y£*ar, $3.619.782 b<sing In manufacturing, against $9,109,986 last year, and $6,924,602 in trading, against $8,220,207 last year. Failures for the week have been 234 in the United States against 245 last year, and 58 in Canada against 20 last year ” BradstreePs \ lew. Bradstreet s says: “The general business situation shows more improvement. From several centers this is declared due in part to the adjournment of congress and to some extent to better weather. Gains are shown in improved demand for lumber and other building materials and in receipts of larger orders for structural Iron and steel, together with the absorption of available stocks of Bessemer pig-iron Reports of a larger volume of trade at western and northwestern centers are more numerous, drygoods and groceries being in better distribution at Cleveland, gains being reported at Cincinnati, and there being a fair volume of business with an Improved outlook at Detroit Louisville maintains the previously enlarged volume of sales, while at Chicago the feeling is more hopeful, as a large number of out-of-town buyers are making purchases in excess of a year ago. Relatively the greatest improvement is reported from >t Louis, there having boen an improvement in sales of millinery, hats, dry goods and hardware equal to 20 per cent. Kansas City, Milwaukee and St. Paul each report fairly satisfactory sales, but while the situation is regarded more hopefully at other northwestern points, business is not reported improved at Omaha, Des Moines. Minneapolis or Duluth. On the Pacific coast the tendency is to improvement”

NATIONALITY IN EGG EATING.

Carious Racial Characteristics Noted In XAv York Restaurants. The philosopher who is to discover the ponderability of a man's “gray matter" by the way in which he eats boiled eggs is not yet risen among us, but it only requires the ordinary powers of observation and a moderate acquainttanee with the restaurants of New York, says the Sun of that city, to discover that there are some very curious and clear indications of a man’s nationality to be gathered from watching the way in which he performs this function. To an Englishman, it will la? seen, there is but one way in which to eat boiled eggs, and all other ways are heathenish and un abomination. It l, necessary, in the first place, that his eggs be medium boiled- three and a half minutes is the standard, towermarked time—and then brought to table in a napkin, with bread and butter, spoon, pepper and salt, ami un egg cup. Not one of those heavy, partitioned things, of thick iron stoneware, with a goblet-like arrangement r.t one end and a smaller depression at the other, but a delicate liltlo article of white chiua, with a plain gold band around the edge, a narrow bund it should be, or, perhaps, a little spray of light tinted llowers painted on the sides. Into this cup of comfort the egg slides deeply, just leaving a sufficient amount of shell above the rim to be removed, and to remove this shell there is but one true method of procedure. The shell must be daintly chipped with the spoon, and the fragments must be removed with the same utensil. There are some people who brutally cut off the top of tiie egg with a knife and plunge the spoon at once in medias res, but these are generally “persons,” and are by no means representative of tiie true and insular art of egg eating. It is allowable, under certain conditions, to use the fingers to remove the broken fragments of the chipped shell, but the use cannot be commended as good form. ABOUT CUT GLASS.

Tlio Kind .That Is In Vogue ami How to Take Care of It. Imported eut glass is now rivaled by the American production at a price which, though high, is considerably less than the foreign. Owing to the great amount of work required in cutting and polishing and the large percentage of breakage while in the iiands of tiie workmen eut glass must always be valuable. Once, while watching the process at an American factory which turns out some of the liuest in the world, 1 saw a salad bowl break just as it was receiving its final touches, and this without any fault of the artisan. On the piece had already been expended enough work to bring the value of the article up to forty-five dollars. Of course, tiie labor was totally lost. The two finest kinds of glass, Bohemian and Venetian, are named from the countries in which their manufacture lias reached a high degree of perfection. In the Venetian the beauty consists in the delicacy of the material and form. Its production requires both technical and artistic skill in glass blowing, while tiie Bohemian is distinguished by richness of ornamentation through polishing and engraving. After the rivalry of England in adding a mixture of lead to Hint glass, by means of which was produced a substance superior in brilliance and transparency to the Bohemians, the continental workers sot to work to regain their supremacy. This they did by discovering how to make colored glass, or rather by rediscovering the old process and popularizing it. As a result we have to-day the Bohemian and Carlsbad glass, which is beautiful, though sometimes made gaudy by ornamentation of sostyled “jewels'*—that is, imitation of pearls, rubies, emeralds and garnets in colored glass. The result is often u brilliant medley that will hardly bear inspection. LOVE A LA CHINOISE.

One 1'crlod In n Uhinoiie Girl'd Life When Khe Id Trained. The following letter was written by a Chinese in China, who desired the daughter of a neighbor as a wife for his son: “On my knees I beg you not to despise this cold and common request, but listen to the words of the matrimonial agent and give your honorable daughter to my slave of a son so that the pair, bound by silken throads, may have the greatest joy. In the beautiful springtime I shall offer wedding presents and give a couple of geese, and let us hope for a long and continuous fortune and look forward through endless generations to the fulfillment of genuine love. May they sing of plenty and have every joy. On my knees I beg you to consider my proposal favorably and throw the mirror-like glance of your eyes on these lines.” To this letter tiie father of the hride replied that he would “attend to the portion of his poor and poverty-stricken daughter, that she might not be without bedclothes, cotton clothing, hairpins and earrings. Therefore, it was to he hoped that the couple would have constant fortune.”

WANT WHAT THEY CAN'T GET.

Hon ■ Ortaln I.lttle Ilninnn W«Bknr.« AfTerm the Furniture Trade. “John,”said a furniture salesman, the other day. to the mover whom he had summoned, "this bedroom set is sold, but it is not to be delivered just yet, Move it out of the salesroom at once and store it somewhere until I want it.” “What's the use of moving it until you send it up to me?” ai ked the purchaser, Idly. "Why don't you leave it where it is?” The salesman, says a New York exchange, uttered a queer little lau h and said: “It is evident that you were never in the furniture business, or you would not nsls that question. If I should mark that set ‘sold' and leave it here in the salesroom in plain sight it would probably lose us several good sales.” "How so?” asked tiie purchaser, with an unbelieving look. "It illustrates a universal weakness of human nature,” laughed tiie salesman. "Everybody wants what he can’t get, and there is nothing quite so attractive to the average buyer us a piece of furniture that somebody else has bought before lie came around. If I left that bedroom set out marked ‘sold’ half a dozen persons would say before night that it was exactly the set they wanted, and when they heard there were no duplicates they would fuss around enviously and nothing else in the establishment would satisfy them. "Eventually they would go off discontentedly and buy elsewhere, though the chances are that if there were no ‘sold’ tag on the set none of them would give it more than a passing glance, while a fair proportion of them would purchase other sets. It is a lit-1 tie human .weakness, that is all.” So crises one of the tricks of the trade. When a dealer sells a piece of furniture of which he lias no duplicates he hustles it out of the salesroom as quickly ns he can, lest it lose him other trade. But when he sells a piece of furniture of which he lias duplicates he puts a big “sold” tag on it and leaves it in open sight as long as possible for a bait to others.

Women with Muntitrbes. One of the old fogies who spend their days compiling disagreeable statistics says that mustaches are more common among women now than formerly, and that fully eight per cent, of tiie women are thus adorned. This is nonsense. Probably this curmudgeon's eyebrows ; are so thick and overhanging that everything he sees appears to have whiskers. In the countries of the Lajin race— | Italy, Franee and Spain—women with j mustaches are plentiful enough. There is the queen of Spain, for one. She does not mind it, for women with downy lips are admired in those parts of the world. Among nations of the , Teutonic race, on the contrary, there ' is n souenmish distaste for them, probably because they are so rare.

MERCHANTS AN D CRAF T GUI LBS A Sort of Trades Union That Existed In tho Twelfth Century. During tiie twelfth century merchant guilds arose in all the towns of importance in England, and in the next century a further development of town life took place in the rise of craft guilds. These associations were composed of the artisans engaged in a certain industry hi a particular town. By the growth of population, it is evident that when the merchant guilds had attained their first century there would be a considerable number of persons dwelling in the town who would not be eligible to membership of the guild either as landholders or us tiie heirs of guildsmen. Many of these would bo skilled in some pursuit or calling; and naturally they would adopt the best means of securing their rights and prote cting their interests by taking common actiem against the rest of the community. The earliest craft guilds were those of the weavers and fullers of wooleu cloth, says a writer in the Westminster Review. The guild of bakers is nearly ns old. and that of the leather dressers, or corvesurs, dates from about tho same period. At first there was a struggle between the merchant guilds and the craft guilds, as the one body naturally strove to retain its monopoly of the government of the town and the other endeavored to share in its municipal privileges. But the circumstances of tho time were such as to quickly unite the two bodies in a common resistance to the tyranny of the sovereign power, or of tiie great feudal lords. In turn, the* monarch found it good policy to foster the towns, both with the object of developing their wealth, and so of acquiring a source of revenue for himself, as well as of bringing into existence a factor to counterbalance the overgrown power of the nobles.

How Two Warrior, In the Interior of Africa Settled Their l.ove AHair.. Even in the interior of South Africa jealousy will induce men to fight. If two Matabele warriors offer the same number of cows to the father of a belle for her possession, arms are resorted to to decide the superiority of one or the other, and one of tho combatants is usually killed in tho contest. One of Maj. von Wissmann’s officers accidentally witnessed such a duel and described it a:: follows: “Toward sundown while resting near nn immense bowlder of the ‘Ingogo drift - we were suddenly disturbed from sleep by yelling and a noise of clashing arms. Looking up I saw three Zulus jumping around and belaboring each other with thin sticks. 1 asked my servant Tom what was the matter. He replied tins was a duel for a woman. Upon sign of tiie umpire, who watched tiie fray, motionless, the sticks were changed for clubs, and another set-to with this formidable weapon followed. Suddenly another sign was given, the clubs were thrown away and both ran in different directions. About thirty yards from tiie former position both turned and lifted the assagais, throwing them at each other. One of tiie Zulus had approached our hiding place, behind the bowlder, so that I could almost touch him. Just as he lifted his spear for a second throw his adversary's assagai hit him in the breast. Without a sound he collapsed. The other—the victor—returned to tho kraal to fetch the woman, now his.”
