STRIKES AND BOOKS.
The epidemic of "strikes," which so suddenly broke out a month or two ago, and has only, says the London Literary Digest, temporarily subdued, had; its effect even upon the book trade. Tho delay in providing supplies of paper , is said to have caused some publishers to postpone the date of issue of certain important works —Miss Marie Corelli's was one, though the adjective would . not be universally admitted and the scare produced in the public mind by this industrial "war," and also by the Franco-German dispute, raav have induced other houses to withold their books, for it is well known that at times of public excitement sales are apt to fall off. Happily, . both ' causes have seemingly ceased to'operate. The industrial difficulty and the foreign complication are either settled or in a fair way of being settled, 'and,in consequence the publishers have been stirred to extraordinary activity. The coming season promises, therefore, 1 to -be as prolific in output as . any of ; its predecessors, and reviewers ■; who % a couple ,of weeks ago were staring , at , empty .; tables now find themselves overwhelmed with jae w books hot from the Press* J :
