Improvement is noted in tho demand ' for wool and woolen manufactures, ; and the distribution of other pro-; ducts has not been sensibly checked; ! but the growth of demand as a rule j has not kept pace with the expansion of industrial output, and the general : price tendency has coiinued down ward. Business failures in the United States and Canada during last week numbered 422. against 4S5 for the corresponding week last year, According to K. G. Bun & Co. the ! liabilities involved in failures during J seventeen days of January were $7.-i 501.200, against s13.f.t;s.O!0 in eight een days last year. Speculation in cotton has been on a moderate scale, and without sufficient strength, in spite of ruling low values, to give support to the mar ket, which shows a further net de cline of 1-1(1 of a cent per pound. The movement to the ports has con tinued liberal, but it has been coun terbalanced by large exports the shipments for live days having been 215.000 bales, against receipts of 173.000 baies. During the corre sponding period of last year the re ceipts were 137.000 and the 112,000 bales. Spinners aj-i eXDorts ,' ' . moderately, but the Northern mill takings in two weeks of January have been 1)2,000 bales, against 04. 501 bales for the corresponding pe riod in 1804, and since Sept. 1 there has been a comparative increase of 400,215 bales. Wheat prices have dropped 3 to 3 cents per bushel, and the market for corn has declined ! j to 21 cents per bushel. The break has been due mainly to extensive liquidation of speculative holdings of wheat. The selling movement has been hastened by the prevailing l.tck of confidence, which has discouraged investment demand, and. notwithstanding the uuprecedentedly low price level, has induced considerable short selling. Aside from the continued pressure of big warehouse stocks and the effect of the Treasury embarrassment, there have been no developments in favor of a lower range of values. The weakness in corn pric es has i..,r., i.,v.r,.n- inffm.n.-. d hv the de - nressionln the wheat markets, and the latter has in turn adversely af fected values of flour and caused general hesitancy on tho part of buy ers. Chicago prices of provisions have been forced downward by the decline in grain and by tho continued heavy marketing of hogs in the West.

A HP ON MAItEI.UiE He Attributes Life's Ills to Couples .Mis matiag Themselves. The pious poet wrote: "Oh: where shall rest be found -Rest for the weary soul?" The happy-hearted Tom Moore wrote: 'Sweet Vale of Avoea! - how calm could 1 rest In thy bosom of .shade with the friend: 1 love best:"' Everybody wants rest rest from care and apprehension rest from pain or overwork rest for themind and the body. Pope says: "All the joys of sense Lie in three words health, peace and competence.'' It looks like we all have a natural right to these, and it is our fault if we do not possess and enjoy them. If a man is prudent he will have health. If he is kindhearted he will have peace. If he is frugal and in dustrious he will have a competence. There are many things that war j against tliese virtues. A man may ! inherit disease or fall in the way of blame. If it were not so we would server of the manners, and customs and domestic life of different nations, and says that wherever the mating of young people is done by the par ents the unions are more happy than w hen they male themselves. Among the peasantry of Germany and France it is universal for the parents to make the match, and they do it so judiciously that in nine cases out of ten it results in domestic happiness, I" other country did he find such filial respect aud obedience and such kind, considerate regard between husband and wife. The domestic life of the French and the German peas- an try is perfectly beautiful, satci lie. H"' i it in this country? Of loo marriages, how many may be called happy, congenial and well-advised? Look around among your readers and count. How many runaways, how many divorces, how many grass widows, how many suicides, how many drunken or unfaithful hus bands, how many opium-eating wives, how many who would separate if it were not for the children or for fear of talk or scandal? When you trim them all down to real happy marriages it will be like the cynical old preacher who said that " out of every hundred members of the church, fifty joined on a boom j or to please their parents or the ! pieacnei: ieni-ue jomeu 10 un- tiwie u-.n-Wi" interests- ibe re- i i ... . ..1 iii'iinr livimx .nt nf eon seieii t nil is I conviction, bu not more tha but of the whole hundred fifteen are zealous, consistent, working members. "This is about the average of every Chris tian church in this country, and this 15 per cent, preserves the church and saves it from disintegration, iust like ten righteous men would have saved Sodom. They keep alive its charities and move its missionary work and ' set their light upon a hill, and so es : tablish good government and extend Civilization. This 15 per cent, of professing Christians are neverthe 1 less the hope of a sinful world." Just so there are. perhaps, not more than 15 per cent, of real happy mar ; riages. but there are enough to illum ; inate the married state and set it up ' before mankind as the highest ideal ; of human happiness. ' And so Bob and 1 ruminate and i expatiate and speculate on human ; happines , reformin just like we had an idea of mankind and making everybody happy. We would if we could, but we can't; young people will continue to be fools and marry in haste and repent at leisure. Rob ert Mc-Cay is my old college mate, lie and his wife will spend the win ter with us here, and it amuses the young people to see him and I get close together on the veranda, and ! j with our feet on the ballusters and ! our pipes in our mouths, talk and talk, and smile and talk again. We bavc already been over our college dav. with their hallowed memories. We have lamented the dead and counted the living cm our fingers. Robert, is a brother of our old Pro fessor Charles Mc-Cay.

AVe have a happy family. All of its members came here to rest to renew their vital forces and to escape the hard winters of the Piedmont re gion. The Northern blizzards, like the comet, still switch their icy tails around this way. No more freezes have visited us, but lire is comfort-j able at morn and night. My wife and I and Mr. and Mrs. MeCay are the patriarchs the balance wheel of the household. The young folks want to run away with the wagon sometimes, and we have to hold them down. Mrs. Henry Grady is here with her children, and she holds the fort quietly between the old folks and the young. She is a smart, graceful woman and a noble mother. Then there is Mrs. Hill, a niece of "our Hen," a tired, overworked teacher in the public schools of At lanta. She came here for rest, and it has renewed her youth. I wish that all the tired female teachers could spend their winter vacations here. The men have built their re treat on Cumberland island, but the women have none. There is no class of people in the State who have so much responsibil ity upon them as the female teachers, and no class that is so faithful to the trust. Then we have an invalid maiden from Virginia the liveliest and loveliest of all our family. It would take a whole college of doctors to tell when or where Miss Annie is sick, for her merry, contagious laugh is heard all over the house. May the good Lord afflict us all with that por tion of her malady. Then we ha ve a sweet girl graduate, not long from the Lucy Cobb. Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips and quick, glancing eyes; her nimble, springy walk;. her merry wit aud repartee all indicate that she. too, is a very tired invalid. Hut I think that Miss Kuth is gaining strength, for she went out on the Gulf to-day to fish for groupers, and j while the billows heaved, so did she! in kindred sympathy well, they all heaved except Miss Gussie Grady, and the only reason she did not was because she did not go. Sensible girl and sensible mother. They took an immense lunch alonr. but never touched it. Henry Gradv, Jr., said j he had heard that the way to prevent sea sickness was to fill the stomach j and keep on filling it. and so he put ! away two grape fruit, half a dozen apples, a can of potted ham, six rolls of bread, one Ikx (if sardines, some more ham, and pickles, and olives, etc., ad infinitum. They took along much fishing tackle, but none of the party wet a line. Most of them laid do wn in the boat and groaned, and lamented their awful condition, and swore off from ever hunting for groupers again. A couple of handsome young men. who are so-called invalids from St. Louis, played satellites to the girls, and out of reciproc al courtesy heaved when they heaved. The boat was away out six miles in the Gulf, and 'a preparin s-0" began. tct anchor when the The poor captain was " "- i ing invalids and no hell). They were i lsl ressw :im n anni'i h.iir it iieav. Some of them laid down in the boat and groaned, "Oh, my! Good Lord help us! Please, captain, take us home! Oh! my poor mother, will I ever see her again?"

"V tins nine uie empty passengers were chilled, for it was cold and get- ting colder. The young men gal- lantly took off their coats and cov- ered the girls with them. Then they took the green' Gulf shakes and trembled all except Henry, who un buckled his belt and went ta eating again. By and by they reached the placid waters of the harbor and be gan to rally their perturbed spirits. The good ship shot like an arrow through the pass and all sail was spread for the home stretch. Just before landing the female tongues as - sumed their normal condition and I their faces assumed a sickly smile, j Sunday evening, John Snider and j able to perform their duties in track land they all agreed to keep the affair Miss Bridget Murphy, lovers, were ing moonshine-whisky distillers, it ! a dead secret, and made the captain struck and killed by a train.

National Capital 'hitters. From our Regular Correspondent. Washington, D. C, Jan. 2G, ISto. Secretary Gresham will submit sotne very interesting documents to Congress in resionso to the resolu- tion adopted by the House, calling for information concerning the ex- tenses of the Bchring Sea Commis sion, appointed by President Harri son, aud the cost to the United States of carrying out the joint treaty be tween the United States, Great Bri tain and Germany to maintain the Government of Samoa. These docu ments will show that members and supporters of the Harrison Adminis tration are in no position to criticize the foreign policy, of the presenter any other administration. Senator Jones, of Arkansas, in troduded his financial bill in the Sen ate this week just as any ordinary bill is introduced, although he had hoped that it might have had the in dorsement of the Finance Committee before it was formallj' brought to the attention of the Senate. The bill authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to issue in his discretion bonds at 3 per cent, up to $500,000, 000; provides that the tax on national bank currency shall le one-fourth of one per cent., and that they may is sue currency up to the par value of the bonds deposited by them; also. ber. There is no apparent change in the financial situation in the House, which has lately been looking to the Senate if not for guidance, at least for a pointer. Thursday afternoon Senator Jeter C. Pritchard took the oath of office in the Senate chamber. His arrival was not expected until early next week, as he had written Mr. Chas. N. Vatic-Q that it would not be con venient for him to come until that time. His Republican colleagues, however, telegraphed him that he ! was wanted here to vote in the Re- ; publican caucus which met at the Capitol yesterday to outline the pro- gram for that party. Therefore Mr. Pritchard obeyed the summons at once. State Senator Moody, of Waynesville, and State Senator Rice, of Wilmington, accompanied him. He was escorted to the Yice-Presi- u,'ni s Gesk u' "ls preciecesso i ex- of making him Senator came off in good order.

This Hill Should ISeconie a Law. Danville (Vm.) Star. The best and only bill we have seen that has Im-cii introduced in the North Carolina legislature that is worthy of secial consideration is the one introduced in the Senate on Friday last, making fire insurance companies responsible for the full face value of a policy when the prop erty is totally destroyed. There is such a law in existence in New York State, and it is a very just law and should exist in every State. This way of adjusting a man's losses after his property is entirely destroyed is an outrage. An insurance agent comes along and insures your property for all he can get you to put on it, and as long as you are never burned out it is all right, but let there come a lire and destroy your property, then an ad juster comes along and says you had too much insurance for the value of your property and refuses to pay it. You then have to accept of a com promise or stand a suit. The time to fix a value on property is when it is in existence. And what ever amount of insurance may bo granted on the property the com pany should lie compelled to pay, if there has been no fraud practiced by the owner, either in securing the in surance or affecting the fire. If the fire was accidental then it does not matter what amount of insurance there was on the property it should be paid, and paid in full.
