The Week's COMMerelal. Stualmary.
B. G. Dun ae Co's weekly review of
trade in the United States says; Colder
and more stormy weather, so long needea
to accelerate distribution of winter goods,
has materially helped in some quarters,
and the resulting improvement in retail
trade is mentioned in nearly every nor-
thern despatch this week, so that orders
to 1111 stooks have been encouraging,
and in some breaches the inultitude of
demands for immediate delivery show
that the distribution to consumers has
already gone ranch beyond the eepecta-
Bon of dealers. But this is not yet the
general rule, and with many complaints
of delayed trade in other quarters, there
still remains the extensive shrinkage
caused by lever and quarantine at the
South.
Englishmen are now admitting that
they entertain geve fears on account of
the low range of maaufacturing costs at-
tained in the United States. The engin-
eering strike bas directed attention to
the fact thee English employers /40'78 not
the same control over their workshops
and workerthat prevails in the *United
States, and there is a general fear a
oorapetition from this country. But thia
fear is not alone on account of the differ-
ence in the two coutatries u xelations
between employers and workmen, as the
following from J. S. Jeans, former mere-
tary of the Iron and Steel Institute of
Great Britain will ehow: "The United
States laave now attaizied to such a low
tong() of manufacturing costs as no
European conntry oans camel, sette prob-
ably none oan rival."
The business situation. at Toronto is
slightly better, if anything. Dealers in
wholesale departments report liberal
seders in nearly all lines, and speak en-
oouragingly of tbe future. Travelers for
fancy goods are doing an unusually large
trade, and shipping departments are
'Working hard to keep up with orders. In
heavy dry goods there is an increasing
=oven:tent, while the demand is fairly
active for nsen's furnIshirigs'hosiery,
lima the like. Business in leather %goad,
and orders increasing for boots and &ayes,
rubbers, eto. Groceries, hardware and
-metals are also selliag well. Prices as a
rule are firm with the tendency upwards.
Faieures are agate unimportant, and in
strikitig contrast with a year ago. Pay -
extents are good. There is a large amount
or grain going forward for shipment to
tbe old country, including casts, the de-
mand for which seems keen, with an ad-
vance in prices.
At Montreal the distribution of gen-
eral merchandise eountrywards may still
be called active for the season. The carry -
tug capacity of the river steamers has
been pretty well taxed on recent trips,
and some of these boats, it is reported
have not L. .en able to take all the freight
offering. The amount of goods moving
by rail is also larger than usual at the
season, and thougb winter ran rates went
Into force on Monday last, the companies
have made a concession hi the matter of
dried fruits, etc., owing to the late ar-
rival of large shipments new unloading
In port, and which they have agreed to
distribute at summer rates. Boot and
shoe manufacturers report large orders
for spring wear, the most liberal for
some years, and some of the houses are
reported to be indifferent about the
booking of repeat erders for fall goods,
which have also been coming in more
freely owing to tbe recent change of
'weather. Hides have been advanced this
week, and with the prospect of a better
demand for leather, and comparatively
light stocks, a stiffening of values in
black leather is not improbable, General
collections continue to be favorably
spoken of, and in tbe money market
there is nothing new. the general quota-
tion for call funds being 4 per cent.

HOT WATER SHOES.
A Gernunt inventor Places a Heating Do -
vice in the Heel.
Cold feet are an affliction common to
the human race. The oold-feet brigade
may take heart, however, for a benefac-
tor has arisen in the person of Paul
Woaneberger, of Geutie, near Dresden,
who has invented what he calls "Heat-
able Shoot," says the New York World.
Tius novel remedy for cold feet consists
of it tiny boiler and furnace in the heel
and sole of the shoe, which causes a con-
tinuous circulation of warm wat,3r
tircuud the extreinitios. Within tbe heel
tbe inventor bee placed a glowing sub,
stems similar in ite nature to that wed
in the familiar Japanese hand -warmers
The soles of the shoos are hollowed our
for the reception of a rubber bag covered
with asbestos, containing the water that
keeps the feet warm.
Whenothe owner of a pair of heatable
shoes wishes to go out itto the colcl and
sloppy street he opens the receptacle iia
the heel of the shoe, lights the punk -
like substance, oloses the perforated
band that holds it in place, and then
sallies forth to bid defiance to his old
enemy, the chills.
There is no clanger of the feet being
uncomfortably warmed, for the water
cannot be heated by the tiny furnace in
the heel to heat more than 70 degrees
Fahrenheit. The inventor has provided
against the bursting of the little boiler
by the insertion of t* small safety valve.
The shoes are a trifle heavier than tbe
ordinary ones. The Sole is but very
little theater than that of the wet
weather shoe saki by New York dealers.

Rheumatism is nothing more or less

flammation of this tissue, the heat slow-

To ascertain tbe freshness of an egg,
without breaking, hold it before a strong
light and look directly through the shell.
If the yolk appears round and tbe white
surrounding it clear, the chances are that
the egg is fresb. Or you may drop it into
Nvater ; if the egg sinks quickly mid re-
xnainsat tbe bottom it is in all probe-
ility fresh, but if it stands on end it is
denbtful, and quite baa if it floats. The

that of a Reale one is glossy.—Mrs. S.

sight by the interpal convulsions of the
earth. Bishop Pontoppidan, a truthful

servative in his estimates at its size, giv-
ing it as his opinion that they were sel-
dom found more than the half of an

diameter than the cathedral at The

Be also says that its body was fre-
quently mistaken by sailors for an

Prince Boris, the future ruler of Bul-
garia, is a pretty, little boy, and he is
fortunately too young to be at all aware
of the bitter quarrels which raged over
his cradle. He was still an infant in
arms when be was "converted" to the
Orthodox faith to the great anger of his
• mother.; indeed, at the time she declared
that nothing would induce her to con-
tinue taking care of ber child, but ma-
ternal love conquered, and thougis Boris
is taken fa state each Sunday to an
Orthodox or Greek church plaoe of wor-
ship, he is vigilantly guarded from those
who naight wish to do hire barna.

A remarkable discovery has just bane
rnade at the village of OrtoraLongue-
ville, near Peterborough. Several work-
men were engaged in excavatory work
under some old and dilapidated. outbuild-
ings on a farm when they, came across a
well made floor about six feet below the
level, On a minute examination being
made, they found that the floor was
entirely constructed of knuckle bones,
supposed to be those of sheep and cattle.
It is estimated that the singular work is
