THE OUTLOOK BRIGHTER.
Dnn & Co’s Report, -of Trade for the
Fast Yfisek.
B. G. Dnn & Co. ’s weekly review of
trade says: The turn of the tide has
come. Since the electrons' there has
been a distinct improvement -in;- busi
ness and particularly manufacturing
There is some increase in actual trans
actions and much more in the tone of
business. Men of all parties f eel that
there is ground for greater confidence,
the- : silver question being:-pmt defi
nitely. out of the- way and the chance
of disturbing action in other respects
being lessened, while the right of the
people: to role their rulers has been
vindicated.
While it is yet too early to look for
great changes, there is already a dis
tinct improvement in the demand for
manufactured produ'ots.- Since, the ac-
tion on the silver hill there has been
some increase in - the output of pig
iron-and in sales of wool. The build
ing trades in several cities hrive im
proved and the failures of the week,
the latest reported, show lowejr. liabili
ties. In brief, the recovery which be
gan when the silver repeal ball passed
continues with increased strength.
The output of pig iron, though not
half as large as that- of a year ago, is
larger than it was at the beginning of
October. The monthly statement shows
80,070 tons weekly against 73,885 Oc
tober 1st, and 171,082 Nov. 1, 1892,
and there is a slight decrease inthe
stocks of unsold iron on hand.
The sudden fall in the price of steel
rails which has been maintained at $29
for a long time, bnt is now $22 at
the mills, has brought the qtuck en
largement of demand which \ might
have been anticipated, and in torn the
demand for ore, coke and pig iron im
proves. Copper improves a little,
with a stronger demand, bnt lead and
tin are slightly weaker, after the spec
ulation last week.
In boots and shoes the decline in
shipments, compared with last year,
is only 17 per cent, for the week, and
more of the shops are active, the long
economy in purchases having exhausted
supplies of dealers. The first week of
November has passed and thousands of
business men breathe more freely, be
cause the apprehended failures in dry
goods have been much less numerous
and less important than was feared.
No doubt it is true that many concerns
have been carried over by extension,
but even a moderate revival of trade
will enable most of them to weather
the storm. A great deal of improve
ment is seen in the market for cotton
goods with slightly better prices in
print cloths and some other grades.
The sales of wool for the week have
oimt ■}
mail.
Advices of Wednesday from- -El
Paso, Texas, state that the Mexican
revolutionists icstead of attacking
Cuidad Juarez, as has been lately ex-
pected, have evaded the federal troops
from Chihuahua and Casa Grandes and
have taken Ascension and Corraltos.
The Americans who were ordered out
of Ascension by the revolutionists are
seeking safety at Deming, N. M. The
Mormon coloniBts, located near Lake
Palomas, just across the border, have
been ordered to abandon their homes.
For the third time in the history of
Augusta, Ga., the people of the city were
joined by representatives from over
half the states of the anion in the for
mal opening of Augnsta’s exposition
Tuesday. On this occasion, however,
there is joined with this enterprise the
Georgia state fair under - the manage
ment of the Georgia State Agricultural
Society and the two combined form an
exposition that will eqnal in its scope
and magnitude any similar enterprise
in the history of the Sonth.
W. F. Putnam,president of the Lex
ington, Ky., Water Woarks company,
has been arrested-at.Exeter, Mass., for
embezzling $30,000 from the National
Granite bank, of which be was presi
dent. The American Trust company,
of New York, trustees for the bond
holders of the water company, have
-sent an expert to investigate, and
startling developments are expected..
The company may be forced into the
-hands of a receiver through the fore
closing of-a contractors’ lien for $45-
000.
There appears now to be no ques
tion but that the rolling mill at Bes
semer, Ala., will start up at a very
early date. It will be resumed on the
co-operative plan, the working men
sharing in the profits with the owners.
The co-operative project was agitated
soon after the mill shut down several
months ago, but at that time a majori
ty of the stockholders hesitated about
coming in. Since that time they have
investigated the co-operative plan and,
■it is stated, they will proceed at once
to inaugurate it at their mill.
A Charlotte speoial says: The Bich
mond and Danville railroad took a

Wednesday when ex-Judge Cotheran

cause why he should not be punished
for obntempt. Perrin is charged with -
unlawfully seizing a package of liquor
at. Greenville on November; 7th, the
said liquor at the time being iii pos-

United States court. The hearing, of'
the case was fixed for November 20th.

The volume of domestic trade, though
smaller than a year ago, shows comad-
erablyless decrease than appeared in
September, or October, the exchanges
at clearing houses, outside of Now
York, being only 17.4 pe? cent, less
than for the corresponding week last

The failures for the week past have
been 316 in the United States against
210 for the same week last year, and in
Canada 37 against 26 last- year. There
were four failures with liabilities be
tween $100,000 and $200,000
each, and sixty-two with liabilities be
tween $5,000 and - $10,000. The lia
bilities of failures last week reported
show a very encouraging decrease,
amounting to only $3,467,000 against
$7,413,000 for the preceding week, and
it is noticed that while the nnmber of
failures does not materially decline as
yet, there are fewer of importance.

left their country home on the Wood-

now located at the white house for the
winter. It was thought that the Presi

Chairman Wilson had under consid
eration the question of the revision of
the administrative act Wednesday.
Among importers there is much com-
plaint against the classification clauses
of this measure, and a committee of
New York importers, consisting of P.
B. Worrall and Daniel McKeever,
have presented their views on the
question to Chairman Wilson and the
treasury officials. It was suggested
• that the classification question be tak
en out of the hands of the general ap
praisers, leaving them to act aB ap
praisers on questions of value only.
Secretary Carlisle had a conference
Wednesday with Secretary Gresham in
regard to the case of the ten Bnssian
convicts, recently landed at San Fran
cisco. The Secretary said that no or
der had been made with respect to
them. A treasury official states that
it was possible that some of the men
would be released and others would
be returned to custody of tho Bnssian
government. The report of Commis
sioner Stradley, of San Francisco, on
the case is still kept secret. It is
kffown, however, that it contains no
recommendation, bnt is simply a mass
of testimony.
The latest phase of the Hawaiian
imbroglio is the statement that the
United States lias been completely
hoodwinked and has played into the
hands of Great Britain. According to
the story now current the action of
the president is the very thing above
all others that England most desired.
It is considered an open secret
diplomatio circles that Great
Britain wishes to have indirect control
of the Hawaiian isles through the fu
ture sovereignty of Princess Kalulani,
niece of the queen and heir apparent
to the throne. She it was who made
the plaintive appeal to President
Cleveland, while she was at Washing
ton last spring.
Russians Arrested.
The Bussian minister at Washing-
ington has intervened in the matter
of ten escaped_Bussian convicts, who
were recently'pitrtretr up iu-thc-Pncitw
ocean and landed at San Francisco.
The minister asked that the men be
arrested, presumably for the purpose
of ascertaining whether they are crim
inal offenders escaped from Siberia."
The treasury department promptly
acted on the request and ordered the
arrest of the men and it has received
word that this has been accomplished
and that the men are in- jail. The
commissioner of immigration at San
Francisco has been given instructions
to wire the facts in the case, including
the affidavits of the men, to the de
partment, pending the receipt of
which further action will be postponed.
71c President In New York.
President Cleveland, unexpected,
except by the proprietor of the Vie-
toria^hotel and a few personal friends,
arrived in New York at an early hour
Thursday morning. Mrs, Cleveland
did-not accompany the president, but
Secretary and Mrs. “Dan” Lamont
made the trip with him, The party
left Jersey City in a carriage and
were driven direct to the Victoria
hotel. Arriving there the president
and the Lamonts went to the rooms
on the second floor facing Fifth ave
nue, usually occupied by them, and
partook of a light breakfast.- After
reading the papers for an hour the
president ordered a carriage and in
forming no one except Mr. and Mrs.
Lamont of his destination, drove off
np Fifth avenue. There were no
callers at the hotel for the president
during his morning stay. He left
word that to all enquirers at the office
only one answer should bo given, and
that was that be was in Jthe
city on purely personal business.
The occasion for all this mystery in
whioh the president chose to shrond
his movements was not apparent. It
had one effect, however, which Mr.
Cleveland had not perhaps anticipated.
It caused those who were aware of his
arrival to suppose that perhaps his
condition was such that he had resolv
ed upon having another operation oi
some kind performed in Secret. Dr.
Joseph D. Bryant, Mr. Cleveland’s
physician, said that Mr. Cleveland’s
health was all right and that any con
trary statement was a falsehood, little

Corbett and Mitchell Will Meet in
Jacksonville January 25th.
. It seems definitely settled that J. J.
Corbett and Charles Mitchell will bat
tle for the ohampionship of the world
for. a $20,000 purse and a . stake of
$10,000 before the newly 1 organized
Duval Athletic club, of Jacksonville,
Fla., on the night of Thursday, Janu
ary 25, 1894. .
Wednesday articles of agreement be
tween James J. Corbett and. Charles
Mitchell t6 engage in a glove contest
before the Duval Athletic Club, of
Jacksonville, Fla., on the night of
January 25,1894, at 9 o’clock p. m.
sharp for a purse of $20,000, winner
to receive all, were signed. The con
test is to he with the smallest gloves
allowed by law, the gloves to be fur-
nished.by James J. Corbett, (the gloves
to be of ordinary make with finger
holes and nothing in the way of center
padding,) the marquis of Queensherry
rules to govern the contest, and to be
followed in every instance and partic
ular by the .referee, Maxwell E. Moore.
The clnb is to select an official time
keeper, each of the principals reserving
the right to appoint a timekeeper to
represent himself, the timekeepers
to be subject to the rules of
the club. Should either of the
principles commit a deliberate foul,
thereby injuring the other chances
of winning, the one so doing shall lose
all interest in the aforesaid purse.
To guarantee the faithful perform
ance of the above obligation, each
principal agrees to deposit the sum of
$5,000 in the hands of David A. Blan
chard, to guarantee their appearance
'in the ring at the appointed time.
The Duval club guarantees both
principals absolute protection before
and after the contest in regard to all
and any interferences on the part of
the city or state authorities and to pay
all expenses that the principals may be
forced to expend to free themselves
from any interference on the part of
the Florida authorities, city or state.
A BAD SMASH-UP
On a Branch of the Ccntra!--Tliirty-
Fire Hurt and Only one Death.
An Opelika, Ala., special says: A
wreck which resulted in the death of
one man and the injury of thirty-five
people occurred on the East Alabama
branch of the Central railroad within
one mile of LaFayette, Wednesday
night, about 7:30 o’clock. Ten freight
cars, two passengor coaches, a smok
ing car and a mail and baggage car
jumped the track and tumbled over an
embankment-. The mail and baggage
car caught on fire instantly and tho
flames spread rapidly. Toss Driver, a
negro passenger, who was in the front
end of the smoker, which is divided
off for negro passengers, was burned
to death before the eyes of half .a hun
dred passengers. They were power
less to render him assistance. The
smoker was the first to catch fire, and
those in t-hid car, some fifteen in num
ber, were all injured, many of them
badly;
The loss to the road will be heavy.
Several of the freight cars were de
molished and goods were strewn prom
iscuously around for several hundred
yards. The smoking ear was entirely
consumed by tho flames and the rear
end of a passenger coach and the mail
—'•’g'-'I. - itufact^ rear,
dered worthless from-the fire: Why
every passenger on the train was not
killed or badly injured is a mystery.

The cotton returns of the department
of agricnltnre for the month of No
vember do not indicate a high rate of
yield, but point rather to a diminished
harvest, as compared with that of 1892.
which was less than any in the last de
cade. The causes of the light yield
have been heretofore reported, viz:
Drought, excessive moisture in some
sections, and the ravage of insect ene
mies of the plant and some other
causes of minor nature.
Local estimates vary in range from
one-fourth to three-fourtns of a full
crop. Tho weather throughout the
entire cotton belt has been generally
favorable to picking and the depart
ment is advised that-, owing to this
fact-, a large part of the crop has been
successfully secured, a considerable
portion of which has been marketed.
The indicatad yield as averaged from
county estimates, appnrent errors
eliminated, averages 148.8 pounds per
acre, distributed by states as follows:
Virginia 152, North Carolina 174,
South Carolina 143, Georgia 136, Flor
ida 82, Alabama 148, Mississippi 143,
Louisiana 175, Texas 151, Arkansas
174, Tennessee 138.
As severe frosts have not yet been
genera], it is possible that the reported
expectations may be exceeded.
ALTGELD EXPLAINS
That He Pardoned the Haymarket An
archists Witliont Condition.
A Springfield, HI,, special says:
Governor Altgeld was asked Monday
if it was true that one of the condi
tions of the pardon of Fielden, Neebe
and Schwab was-that they should make
no anarchistic speeches in the future,
and he replied: “In granting pardons
to Fielden, Schwab and Neebe, I did
so because I thought them not guilty
of the crime charged, and for which
they were sentenced, and in so doing I
placed no conditions upon their pardons
and made no such conditions as charged,
namely, that they must make no more
speeches regarding anarchy. Yon may
say there are no anarchists in the entire
state ef Illinois; notone. If the news
papers would stop talking anarchy, the
whole matter would never again be
heard of. The laboring men in Chi
cago and other places are as good citi
zens as there are in any state. That
they have a right to their own
views on all matters and are entitled to
express the same as such, must be con
ceded by all citizens, and when such
expressions are made, the same could
not be designated anarchistio speeches
thus placing the speakers in the wrong
light. No, sir, there is. not an anarch
ist in the great state of Ulinois; not
one,” and with that the governor dis
missed the subject.

Storing Milk.
The keeping of milk in a way that
it wiU not be effected by outside influ
ences and remain sweet for a reasona
ble length of time is one that should
interest many who are not interested
directly in dairy matters. The writer
now has in mind such persons as are
interested in hotels, boarding schools,
soldiers’ homes, and many county and
state institutions where large quanti
ties of milk are consumed each day.
Iu*tke first place, contracts for milk
should be made with producers of
known cleanliness and integrity, and it
should be insisted on as one of the
conditions that tho milk should be
cooled as soon ns drawn to a tempera
ture not higher than 50 degrees, the
cooling to be done in apure air and the
milk stirred at least a portion of the
time while being cooled.
Having received the milk it is im
portant to have the proper facilities
for storing it, and at the same time
conveniences for drawing it when re
quired for use, such conveniences as
will admit of the milk being drawn
without disturbing the cream.
In connection with some institu
tions referred to above there are
farms. This is usually the case with
most of the connty and some of the
state institutions. At such places the
provisions for storing milk can be"
made to answer an additional purpose,
that of creaming it.
We have in mind one set of connty
institutions, the managers of which
fully realize the importance of the
subject of this article. We refer to
those of Milwaukee (Wis.) county, lo
cated at Wauwatosa, that county.
The nlms house, hospital and asylum
for chronic insane are all furnished
with portable creameries, and it is the
testimony of the superintendent in
charge and the physicians connected
with those institutions that they were
valuable adjuncts.

A Boston man living out in the sub
urbs has discovered a fact that may in
terest a good many persons. What he
found was that it is quite possible to
see the larger spots that appear on the
sun’e surface without glass or lens of
any kind.
The shatters of the observer’s house
happened to be closed, and through a
tiny hole near the top of them a beam
of sunlight found its way to the floor.
There is left an image, clear and
round, tinged at the circnmference
with a fringe of blue and orange.
The whole appearance of the beam
as projected reminded the spectator of
the image of tho 6un taken on paper
through a telescopa_aud he got a sheet
'.of white note .paper in order to tost his
surmise. The result confirmed it. A
beautiful round image of the sun fell
on the paper, and near the center
thereof could be seen a bluish spot,
which moved about with the imago
whenever the paper was shifted. The
bluish colorek object was a veritable
sun spot, and tho observer watched it
by the simple means described for sev
eral days until the revolution of the
sun carried it ont of sight.—Boston

Nuns in Chinn.
There are nuns in China. They
have a somewhat easier time than nuns
in European and American convents
do. They belong chiefly to the lower
classes, the poorer parents being will
ing to sell their danghters to the ser
vice of the convent. Tho children
thus grow up in the ascetic atmosphere
and eventually join the order. Poor
widows also frequently solve the self
supporting problem by entering a con
vent.
