SUN'S COMMERCIAL REVIEW. the Volume of Business Much «mt*r than Realized By Those Who Reckon Values Alone—In Quantity There Is Almost ns Much Business Done ns In the Year of Greatest Prosperity but with Small Margins for Profit. New York, May 29.—R. G. Dun A Do.*s weekly review of trade, issued tolay, says: People are actually doing more business than they realize. They reckon by values, but these are much lower khan in any previous year of prosperity and leave little margin for profits. In quantity there is almost as much business being done as the years of greatest prosperity, and though the increase in population would call for a material expansion, the comparison is not discouraging. The recovery is slow, hesitating and gradual, but more has been done on the whole in May I than in April, while returns of April I showed the volume of business only j ten per cent, smaller than that of the | byst year heretofore. Yet hesitation is doing its work every week, and multitudes are waiting because of possibilities at Washington, who ought to I be filling the demand for labor and the j products of labor. Events have proved that the crop of ! wheat going out is much larger than i any of the markets expected, and west- j ern receipts for the week were SO per I cent, larger than last year, while At- | lantic exports have been for four

weeks 8»S15.539 bushels, flour included, against 4.988.777 last year. At thia seasou actual receipts eouut rather than predictions, and the truth is that the country has exported an extraordinary quantity of wheat and flour, and yet has so much to spare that the Mayoption has declined nearly a cent for the week. Besides, the outgo of corn, largely taking the place of wheat in foreign consumption, is far beyond precedent or expectation, and for four weeks has been 9,5*50,091, against 0.001,&>5 last year. With liberal interior supplies the price has declined a fraction. Cotton is unchanged, although at this season exports are insignificant. Manufacturers have especial causes of delay owing to the possible competition with foreign goods largely imported. but there has been no set-back in prices, although cotton goods are at the bottom* price. It is evident that production far beyond the consuming demand h;*s forced the industry into a waiting attitude. Distribution of all dry gockls is at preseut retarded also by cooler weather than is usual at this season. The woolen mills are producing more than they have done for years, though much less than they could or would like to produce. and manufacturers are doing almost nothing in the wool market. Speculation has kept the sales large, in four weeks of May 3$,803.500 pounds, against 30.159,550 in the corresponding weeks in 1593. There is some weakness observable with western holders, and eastern prices begin to feel the weight of enormous imports, although holders still calculate on a rise as soon as new duties take effect. The iron manufacture gains in spite of the closing of some furnaces. The production of pig exceeds consumption, and is somewhat decreasing, while the eonsumpt’on has gradually gained this week, in part because of several structural contracts, including 7.000 tons for this city alone, and in part because the agricultural implements works have made larger demands, and also because of the pro posed leasing of nearly all the rod mills in the country, which has caused some buying. Failures for the week have been 314 in the United States, smallest in any week since September, 1895. against 359 last year, and 33 iu Canada, against 30 last year. CURE FOR LOCKJAW. Sew Treatment Successfully Tried at San Francisco. San Francisco. May 39.—A new treatment for lockjaw, or tetanus, has just been successfully tried at the Germau hospital under the direction of Dr. Conrad Weil. The case is exciting a great deal of interest in the medical profession and among the friends of the hospital, as it is the tirst experiment with this new treatment west of the Mississippi, and one of the very few experiments in this country.

I tie patient who owes his life, as the physicians believe, to the new treatment, is Edrnuad Khcin, now about 33 years old, who received an injury to his thumb about a month agOk Doubt was entertained at first whether an amputation would not be necessary. This was avoided, however, but later symptoms of lockjaw began to develope. As the symptoms were not severe at first, the ordinary treatment with sedatives was tried. The patient grew steadily worse, and Dr. Weil decided to try a new treatment. By this time the disease had extended so as to affect almost the entire nervous and muscular systems. Within 4$ hours, under the new treatment, signs of improvement began, and at the end of a week he was pronounced out of danger. Thursday he said he felt no symptoms of the disease at all. only the weakness which was the natural result of the ordeal through which he had passed. The new treatment consists of injections of a tetanus auti-toxine, similai in source as the anti-toxine of diph Uteris. AFFAIRS IN ATHENS. Elaborate Measures Taken to Preserve Order.
