A BRIGHT YEAR AHEAD.
dcn kspobts all the indica
tions FAVORABLE.
Unusually Low Price of Cotton
tte Only Blement of Depression In
the Whole Country—The West on a
Regular Boom—The Money Markets
Well Supplied.
Nkw York, Deo. 3L—The business fail
ur?s occurring throughout the country dur
uj the last seven days, as reported to K. O.
p un & Co-, number for the United States
SjT. and for Canada 22, or a total of 329,
compared with 292 last week and 335 the
week previous. For the. corresponding
week of last year the figures
were 348. The old year has closed
with a little more than the usual
holiday dullness in general trade, but the
report* as to the volumo of the holiday
trade are mainly satisfactory; at Chicago it
was the heaviest ever known, at St. Louis
unusually large, and in jewelry the biggest
known, but at Philadelphia and at New
Orleans not quite up to expectations, and at
Little Hock unsatisfactory. Quiet in other
trades at this season is not a bad sign and
nearly all reports add that the prospect
for the coming year is considered unusually
bright.
COTTON THE ONLY DRAWBACK.
Exceptions are to be found at the south,
where the unusually low price of ootbon and
the accumulation of extraordinary stocks
cause depression in trade aud stringency in
the money markets, but at New Orleans
the money market is oasier, still there is a
itrocg demand there and at Richmond and
Savannah. It is plain that the
soutn is the one obstacle to the general
progress at presont, over-production of cot
ton being the oauso. The receipts at the
ports are no longer equal to last year’s, and
yet do net fall off as much as was expected,
while the accumulation of stocks has be
come a heavy financial burden, and the
price has dropped three sixteenths during
the past week to 1% cents for middling
uplands at Now York.
THE SUGAR MOVEMENT.
The sugar movement is largo at New Or
leans, with prices improving an and the move
ment of rice is steady and tobaeoo is fairly
sustained in tbo northern markets, but
the southern trade depends so largely
upon cotton that serious de
pression necessarily follows the lowest price
for many years. It must be addod that the
greatly increased production of iron has
made it very low, and thus strained the re
sources of many new and costly works at
the south, while cotton has gone out of
many speculations in real eitato.
GOOD I.CCK OP THE WEST.
On the other hand, the west is peculiarly
favored by an enormous foreign demand
for crops, which would otherwise be de
pressed because the largest ever known.
Wheat comes forward as rapidly as the
crowded condition of the railroads will per
mit, and the exports, though reduced last
week, are very large again this
week mid for tho six months
bavo exceeded 120,C00,000 bushels, flour in
cluded, whereas the greatest movement ever
known in the last half of any previous
year was 115,000,(HX) in 1879, The price has
Jeclioed nearly 1 cent during the last week,
i iru 2‘-j and oats } 4, but prices ore highly
satisfactory to western farmers. Pork
products are a shade Jowor, coffee nearly 1
oeut lower, oil % ceuts lower, and the
prices of all commodities average more
tha i one-half of 1 per cent, lower for the
week.
THE MONEY MARKETS.
The money markets continue well supplied
snd undisturbed, and tho troasury bae
Spain paid out more than $1,000,000 in ex
teas of its receipts for tho week. Foreign
exchange tends lower, indioating larger im
-3 its of gold at no distant day. Foreign
sru ie continued exceedingly favorable, for
w hile the increase of imports at New York
luring the past month has been about
1 1 , per o*. ut., tbe increase in exports here bos
" (V i over $10,178,000, or sbiut 87 per cent.,
which would indicate an excess of exports
ver im[jrts exceeding MU,000,000 for the
noath. The stock market has been strong
toward the close of the year, and the dlvi
leuas declared have been encouraging, but
ihe record of receiverships during the year
includes twenty-sis railroads with 8,159
■ilea in operation, and $84,479,000 in stocks
and bonds.
CLOSE Off THE TRADE YEAR.
More Failures Than Usual But No In

New \ohk, Deo. 21.—Tho mercantile
failures for the year 1891, ns reported by the
merchantile agency of R. G. Dun & Cos.,

10,907 Ui,1890. Tbe failures in lSOLare greater
1 number than in any provious

smouut of liabilities, however, tho figures
ire almost precisely the same os the year
previous, amounting to $189,000,000. The

A Scheme in Which “Prince Von
Michaels” Saw a fcililon.
From the ,\erc Fork World .
"I am going to elope with Helen Gould.
We wfii go west and travel for some time.
Jay Gould may miss his daughter, but he’d
I gain a good son-in-law. and" he needs one
I starters’ 0 J ° U BUD P ose ho ’ u us for a
This and some more statements of the
same sort made up a letter received by John
F. Baissfor l, general agent of the Union
Mutual Lliq Insurance Company, the day
a f ' er # UODI T L. Norcross demanded #l,2oo
uuo of Russell Sage and threw the bmb
that brought death ana destruction to the
millionaire's office.
vr T *| e ,‘etter was signed “Prince von
Michaels, and Mr. Hassford reeognizoi in
the writer a man whom be bad once be
friended through pity. In effect the writer
asked Bassford to aid him in an attempt to
kmnap the eideet daughter of Jay Gould.
The plan was to induce the young woman
on some pretext or other, to enter a cab
near her father's residence, Fifth avenue
and Forty-second street, Con Michaels aud
a companion were to follow her into tho
vehiole and draw the blinds, and the driver
was to carry the party to New Jersey, where
a train would be boarded for the west. Von
Michaels entered into no further details, but
asked Bassford for his advice and assist
ance.
Mr. Bassford was appalled. The audacity
of tho proposition and its terrible conse
quences appeared to him in no uncertain way
and he set about discovering Von Michaels’
whereabouts. The letter was written from
a hotel at Twenty-sixth street and Eighth
avenue, but ho learned that the writer had
gone from there to Brooklyn. While the
insurance man was deliberating as to what
was best to do ho received a postal cord
from Von Miohoels.
SENT A LETTER TO MISS OOUI.D.
“I have sent a letter to Helen, through
Rosa, the cook,” tho postal card read. “She
knows about the elopement plan. I want
you to go to Mr. Gould’s house, get ac
quainted with some of the servants and find
out about Mite Gould's hours for walking
and visiting. Help me out in this and there
is a million in tt for both of us.”
Mr. Bassford, now thoroughly alarmed,
hesitated no longer. He belongs to a lodge
of which Police Captain Jr bn Gunner's ton
is a member and he has known the oaptaiu
for a leng time. He Went to the East Sixty -
sevontb street station and me; Copt. Gun
ner and Ward Detective Cain obeli. He
showed the letter and postal card and told
what ho knew of Von Miohaeia.
He hrst met Von Michaels, be said, ten
months ago, when the latter had an office
and flat oil Third avoauo near F.igSity-tirst
street. His sign read: “Palmist and Phre
nologist,” and Bassford found him a glib
talker, full of schemes and with a wonder
ful knowledge of the doinescio affairs of
aristocrat;* households. Ho seemed to take
a fancy to tbe insurance man aud paid oc
casional visits to tho latter’s home at No.
1570 First avenue.
Von Michaels said he was a prince by
birth and heir to a vast estate now in liti
gation in Germouy. He discovered great
possibilities in Bassford after examining the
lines in his hand and studying the humps
on his head, and made several propositions
of an extravagant nature to him. The
alleged prince admitted that he was “on his,
uppers” in this country aud made a living
by peddling trashy novels.
“i go to the servants’ door.” he said
"and show tho books. When I’ve gained
admittance I use my gifts in palmistry and
phrenology and then I learu from the maids
and butlers all about their masters and
mistresses.”
GEORGE GOULD HEARS THE STORY.
Capt. Gunner told Mr. Bassford to come
to the station bouse on Saturday night, Dec.
12. When the insurance man arrived he met
George Gould, the millionaire’s eldest sou,
in tho police captain’s office. Mr. Bassford
produced tho letter and postal card. Mr.
Gould was startled.
“Why, this fellow has sent letters to my
sister Helen,” he said. “They came while
wo wore at Irvington lari summer, but I
didn’t know that the cook had anything to
ilo with them. One of the girls in tho
house is namytl Rosa, the name he uses on
tho postal card. The letters were signed
‘Prince Michaels.’ ”
Cant. Guenee expressed his opinion that
the man was a crank, and Mr. Gould aifoct
ed to coincide with bitn. The police cap
tain wanted to know if the Gould family
would like to have VOn Michaels arrested,
and Mr. Gould said no. An arrest wonld
bring publicity, and the idea of kidnaping
60me member of the family might be taken
up by some otaer crank. Mr." Gould took
possession of the letters, and said he would
have extra precaution taken about the
house. lie thanked Mr. Bassford and the
interview ended.
When Mins Holea Qouid’s first reception
took place, last Saturday night, one of the
detectives uu guard had special instructions
to look out for Von Michaels, lie is about
27 years old, 5 lest 8 inches tall with high
forehead, red hair and saudy mustache.
He did not appear in the neighborhood of
tho Gould mansion that night.
A day or two after the interview in the
station house Mr. Bassford was greatly per
turbed by receiving a visit from Von
Michaels. The insurance man borated his
guc-st roundly. He aski and him what he
meant by writing for ossis’anco in such a
diabolioal plot, and wound up by telling of
his meeting with George Gould.
"Ha says you ought to be in an asylum,’’
Mr. Bassford declared, "And I thiuk so,
too.”
THINKS JAY GOULD NEEDS A FOX-IN-LAW.
Von Michaels totk thiugs very coolly.
He insisted that Helen Gould would make
no resistance if he could onoe induce her to
enter a carriage with him, and began a long
argument, showing how both he and Boss
ford could gain riches and Jay Gould a son
in-law, if only his scheme were successful
Mr. Bussford was scared and got rid of his
unwelcome guest as soon as he could.
Tho next day he received this letter:
Royal House, Michael. France, 1
Estates of Avon. 4
Prinz von Michael, sole I’.eip. )
Pear Friend—lt is a singular fact that Inevor
stopped to asE you in relation to the letter I
left in the insurance office. Had it my number
(S9e Furman street) thereon? I wish, since Jay
Gould spoke well of me, you had askoJ him
about that matter.
He ought to adopt me for a son. He needs
someone to sympathize ojit soothe him. Poor
old fellow, it's what he really needs, but whether
he’ll really have it or not is a question. Hut
since you had a conversation with that gentle
man perhaps, with your tact and diplomacy)
you could readily And out.
I think the oid man has got some tender spots
in him, but I do not see why George should have
said I ought to be put in an asylum. That is
harsh and hard. Consider me as ever, your
friend, Michaels.
Mr. Bassford was aghast. Ke believed
that Von Michaels should bo arrested, but
the Goulds had refused to request it, and tha
man was 9till at large and writing letters
that seemed to incriminate the recipient as
well as the sender. He instructed his wife
to refuse Von Michaels admission to the
house if ho called again. But the very next
night he came. Mr. Bassforil was out, and
Von Michaels forced his way inside.
A NICE NIGHT "TO SKIP OUT WITH HELEN.”
It was a pleasaut night, and he sat there
chatting with Mrs. Bassford vory agreeably
and entertaining. Suddenly be blurted out :
"This would be a beautiful night to ekid
out with Helen Gould."
Mrs. Bassford jumped to the door and i
locked herself in her bedroom. Von Michaels
left soon after. The next day Mr. Bassford
received this message on a postal card:
Mr. Hassford. you can telephone George to go
to the devil. What we talked about, of course;
there isn t a grata of meanness in me You
know that too well. He and I could take a trip
to California and giro Investment tips. It
wou'd do tho health of the old man good.
Stir it up Stir up aornsthiag for me.
Two days later another postal came for
Mr. Bassford. It read:
Dear Friend—You were writing me about
that matter. Come down; boa man or a
mouse, or say abso.ntely no. If you ut'-m t
spoken to Gould don’t He’s too much o a
jokrr. I’m surprised, too—a man of his p.oO
tlo*bility.
Mr. Bassford took this fresh batch of let
THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, JANUARY 1, 18!>2.
ters to Cant. Gunner, and they discussed
the mat e--aga.ii. The police ca; tain said
. that a- i.e-rge Gould had refused to order
the man’s arrest and had been put on his
; guard, Hassford had best do nothing mere.
This didn’t suit insurance man at all,
i but there was nothing for fcim to do. He
has the letters in his possession now.
A World reporter saw Bassford yester
day. Ho was in low spirits.
"Because I befriended this crai k once,”
he said, * ‘l am now put in the position of a
| confidant. He writes on postal cards half
the time and the letter carrier looks at me
I suspiciously, I’m sure. This fellow i* crazy
on the subject of becoming Jay Gould's
son-in-law and I don’t know where he’ll
break out. I think he lives at No. 28(5 Fur
man street now. He dates his letters from
there. I don’t like to go to Mr. Gould
with any more information for fear he’ll
think I’m trying to gaiu something by it.
and yet I think Vou Michaels ought to be
arrested.
_ "It puts mo in a very trying position.
Suppose be does attempt to kidnap Miss
Helen Gould. He’s always talking about
it. If he’s t aught he’ll probably say that i
am in the plot, aud perhaps he'll have some
more letters to meou his person when he’s
arrested. When he talks to me I tell him
he’s crazy, but he don't seem to mind that.
He has a sublime belief that Jay Gould is to
beootne his father-in-law In some way or
other.”
Police Captaio Gunner was retired by the
police board last Monday. A World re
porter saw him at his elegant house No.
1051 Lexington avenue, late last night.
“Mr. Bassford is a friend of mine,” said
the ex-eaptain. "He is a general agent with
tho 1 nion Mutual Lite Insurance Company,
at No. 54 William street. Yes, he is per
fectly reliable. He met George Gould at
my office at my suggestion. As to the de
tails of that story, of which the World
seem* to have full information, I must de
cline to talk. I would like to aooommodate
you, but that was police busine-e, and you
know," :he ex-captain added, with a smile,
“I am oft the force now.”
Setting Type at tho Telephone.
from Electricity.
The management of tne London Tima
has utilized the telephone in a unique way.
Telephony wires have been laid in the under
ground railway tunnel between tbe compos
ing room in Printing House square and the
parliamentary reporters’ gallery in the
House of Commons, A copy reader placed
at tee telephone reads the stenographic
"turns" from the note book as fast as it is
possible for the compositors to take them on
their typesetting machines in tbo Times
building, a mile and a half away. At
first the reporters did not take kindly to tbe
invention, but whoa they found that they
could dictate their notes direct to the com
posing room without tho trouble of tran
scribing them they began to look at the ar
rangement in aa entirely different light.
Proofs, of course, are sent to them for cor
rection. Each machine can produce from
five to six columns of solid minion a night.
Errors will sometimes creep in, but there is
no doubt that the practice will become a
permanent one. Its great advantage be
comes appare it when tho fact is considered
that tho Time* is ablo, by adopting It, to
print in time for the 5 a. m. newspaper
trains going to all points of the United
Kingdom the whole of tha debates, which
are often continued until after 3 a. m.
Taken for a Crank.
A semi fiendish delight often seems to possess
people of strong nerves in sneering at those
with weak ones. Tho irr.lability of the nervous
hypochondriac is ridiculed as natural ill tem
por. The very genuine and distressing symp
toms from which he suffers are made light of.
“He" or "she is a crank!” is the cheerful sort
of sympathy with which the nervous Invalid
meets from the unfeeling and the thoughtless.
At the same time no complaint Is more defined
and real none has a more easily explainable
origin when it is chronic Imperfect digestion
and assimilation are always accompanied by
nervous debility and anxiety. Build up the
powers of assimilation and digestion with Hos
totter s Stomach Bitters, and nervous symp
toms, sick headaches and a generally feeble
condition of the symptoms are remedied. Re
member that fearful ravages are produced by
la grippe among weakly, nervous people. Hos

malaria, rheumatism and kidney complaint.
