Montreal -Little change has been no-
ticed in general trade conditions here
during the past week. There is continued
great activity in all branches of manu-
facture. Textile manufacturers , very
loudly complain and blame these eondi-
Lions for slow deliveries and for con-
tinued firmness in prices. It is true
stocks of Cottons and of white gootla
generally are light and prices are likely
o go higher. To meet the re -order trade
that should follow shipping there is a
very light aceumulation of goods. The
hardware -trade is faiely brisk. There is
a good demand for metals. Steel and iron
is very firm and expected to adva.nee
further. The groeery trade is fair for
thie time of the year. Evaporated apples
have advanced. Canned geode hold very'

ions and the tendency to prices is firm

made too much noise. Twice during the
recital the prisoner, a woman of intel-
ligent and pleasing appearance, not more
than twenty years of liean'fainted. When
restored. she admittedthat she had
burned the Children, but said that at the
time she wae possessed of an unaecount-
:able mania.
The two girls, she said, had been play-
ing with their dolls until the noise and
confusion robbed her of her reason.
Seizing the lifter, she pressed the glow-
ing red on the back of the right hand:
