GOODS IN BETTER DEMAND.
The Stocks on Hand Gradually Be
coming Exhausted.
The Fall in the Price of Silver Unfa
vorable in Its Effect on Some Mar
kets—More Manufacturing Plants
Resuming Work Than'Suspending.
Metals Still Weak in Price—AFavor
able Showing Made by the Record of
Failures.
New York, March 2.—R. G. Dun &
Co.’s weekly review to-morrow will say:
“With no more definite information than
a week ago regarding the outcome of the
financial or revenue disputes, perhaps,
more people have come to the belief that
the end wil. answer their wishes. Cer
tainly rather more are taking limited
risks in business, and especially in stocks.
The slowly growing demand for goods
caused by gradual exhaustion of the
stocks held by dealers, has fur
ther enlarged the working forces
lp manufactures. The fall of sil
ver to 27* and, and below GO cents
here, and after a slight recovery its re
newed weakness, have an unfavorable in
fluence on some markets. The announce
ment that import duties are to be imposed
by India, if confirmed, may increase the
difficulty. The passage of the seignior
age bill by the House late on Thursday
has not had time to produce much effect,
hut it is not financially reassuring.
RESUMPTIONS OF WORK
“More works have resumed, or in
creased hands or hours, than have
•topped or reduced, but numerous reduc
tions in wages continue to lessen the pur
chasing power of those at worn. The de
mand lor distributors is almost exclusively
for medium or low-priced woolen and cot
ton goods, lor $1.50, and not for *3 boots,
and for shoes rather than boots.
Some salesmen and traders find
indications that their stocks of
higner priced goods □JremainingJl on
hand are much larger than usual, and
bankers judge that much of the demand
for commercial loans is virtually for re
newals to carry such uusold stocks.
Sharp reductions in Indian head sheet
ings and Amoskeag tickings cause larger
trading, but print cloths are accumulat
ing and weak, and several mills of im
portance have closed.
“In all branches of tliew olen manufac
ture, the demand is vet far below the
usual mark, but it is somewhat improved
in worsteds and dress goods, and leading
mills have been taking w 00l quite largely,
so that in the three chief markets the
sales have been 4,898,200 pounds for the
week, against 5,11(8,200 last year, in part
because scarcely any loreign wool lias
been imported lor months, and supplies
are short. Western markets are also
broader, without improvement in price.
METAL PRODUCTS.
“Continued weakness appears in the
prices of metal products, notwithstanding
some increase in actual business. Pitts
burg offers steel bars here at $1.15, which
is only one cent at the mill; plates at $1 25
at tide water, and beams delivered here
at $1 35. Moderate orders for cast pipe
have been placed, and some large struct
ural contracts, with others, ex
pected. Kven in the Pittsburg re
gion. little over Half the force is
employed, and only 57 per cent, of the
Connellsville coke ovens are yet in opera
tion. A jew more furnaces are in blast;
southern pig is weaker, and 5,000 tons of
southern warrants have been taken by
Knglish holders, who now have 45.000
tons. There are heavy transactions in
lake ore at Pittsburg, and it is said that
with ore at $2 75, coke at 85 cents and
wages reduced 20 per cent., many fur
naces can make iron at a profit even at
present prices.
“The decrease in domestic product re
ported by clearings is 40.8 per cent, for
the week, and 25.6 outside New York, a
little less than last week.
“Imports of merchandise still, show a
decrease of 40 ner cent., while theexports
of domestic products for three weeks are
6 per cent, larger than last year.
THE RECORD OF FAILURES.
“The most encouraging feature of the
week’s record is the continued decrease
in the number and importance of the fail
ures. For the third week of February
thus far reported arc only 3,986,846. and
the liabilities for the three weeks of the
month only s.l 410,4 ,of whic.i 85,1H5,*.7
were of manufacturing, and $0,2 1,693 of
trading concerns. The number re
ported in February' is 1,260, against
2,280 in January, and the full liabilities
were probably less than $15,000,000,
against $80,046,497 in January. In No
vember and December the amount ex
ceeded $60,000,000. For the past week the
failures ihave been 264 in the United
States, against 206 last year, and 42 in
Canada against 45 last year, scarcely any
being of much importance.”
BUSINESS CHECKED BY STORMS.
Bradstreet’s review to-morrow will say:
“Storms and cold weather south and
southwest have checked the course of
business this week, while west and north
west, brighter weather has had an oppo
site effect. No better illustration of the
necessarily halting and irregular move
ment of the volume of business at the be
ginning of the improvement may be found
than the record of the week, with its de
creased ■ volume of trade and
renewed unfavorable reports from
the south, and the Pacific
coast in contrast with the more cheerful
tone and increased sales at important
cities in the Ohio and Mississippi river
valleys, and in the northwest. Thus,
while advices from Providence, Phila
delphia, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Nash
ville, Birmingham, Galveston and San
Francisco, are less inclined than in late
weeks to regard the situation hopefully,
those from Buffalo, lnuiauapolis. Louis
ville, Memphis, Mobile, Chicago, St.
Louis, Kansas City, Omaha, Milwaukee,
St. Paul and Duluth all report evidence
of distinct improvement.
THE GENERAL SITUATION.
“The general industrial situation is
both betrer and worse. There are thirty
resumptions of factories reported con
trasted with two shut downs; wages have
been reduced at thirteen establishments,
and fifteen strikes are announced.
“Baltimore jobbers report unfavorable
trade south, a disappointing February
following January's ouainess. An im
provement is noted at Augusta, Ga.. since
the check to business due to bad weather,
and at New Orleans financial interests
are awaiting with interest the settlement
of the sugar tariff. Louisville reports
sales of seasonable goods and a firm
tooacco market.
"The modification of the Richmond
Terminal plan involving a reduction of
the assessment is favorably regarded.”

A KICK ON VACCINATION.
The Charges of the Atlanta Doctors
Objected To.
Atlanta. Ga., March 2.—The action of
the board of health and sanitary depart
ment in ordering the enforcement of the
compulsory vaccination ordinance, to pre
vent a general epidemic of the small pox
plague, which broke out a week ago. has
developed a strong opposition among a
large class of people. Under the
ordinance, persons who refuse to
be vaccinated, are liable to a fine and im
prisonment by the recorder. None ques
tion the wisdom of general vaccination
under the present urgent conditions, but
the kick that is going up on all sides is
against the doctors, who are taking ad
vantage of the law and facts to turn a
thrifty penny that ordinarily would not
be within their reach.
the customary charge for
vaccination ranged from 20 to 50 cents,
but now, when every one is excited and
the machinery of the law' has been set in
operation to force patients into their
grasp, the doctors are puting the tariff
on at the rate of $1 a head, and upwards.
In many cases there is hardship where
a poor man has a large family, but does
not want to Join the mass of indigent and
decrepit who besiege the charity offices
ol the ward physicians.
No new case shaie been reported to-day,
and some of the best doctors .claim that
none of those so far developed are small
pox but either chicken pox or varioloid
The excitement over the threatened
epidemic has lieen greater to da.y, how
ever, than heretofore, despite the ab
sence of new cases reported and the
board of bealth is being criticized for en
couraging the scare.
POSTPONED FOR THIRTY DAYS.
The Sale of the Marietta and North
Georgia Again Put Off.
Atlanta, Ga., March 2.—-Judge New
man to-day gave way to the wishes of the
bondholders and granted another post
ponement of the sale of the Marietta and
North Georgia railroad. Under a former
order of the court the road was set for
sale to-morrow, at Marietta, but it will
not now be sold for thirty days, that be
ing the length of the postponement
gi anted to-day.
On Monday and Wednesday of this
week Judge Newman heard applications
for a continuance of the sale by the bond
holders, but declined to grant them, and
it was given up that the road would be
sold to-morrow, when the judge, almost
at the last moment, gave way to the
wishes of the bondholders.
The postponement is for the purpose of
maturing plans for a reorganization of
the road, which will, if matured, result
in considerable advantage to ail inter
ested.

SPARKS APT TO BE LEFT IN.
Hon, Hoke Smith in Conference With
the Lawyers at Macon.
Macon, Ga., March 2.—Hon. Hoke
Smith, secretary of the interior, spent to
day in Macon, and for the greater part of
his stay here was in conference with the
attorneys interested in the Georgia South
ern and Florida railroad. Mr. Smith is
leading counsel for the bondholders of the
road, who are applying for a co-re
ceiver. While nothing definite was given
out by any of the parties to the confer
ence it is understood that a compromise
is pending and that the bondholders may
withdraw their application for a co
receiver on certain conditions. The
management of Mr. Sparks has been
such as to materially increase the earn
ings of the road, and the parties inter
ested are not as anxious as they have
been to disturb him, or saddle the road
with the unnecessary expense of a dual
management. It is understood that some
thing interesting will be given out in a
few days. Secretary Smith left on the
East Tennessee train at 5 o’clock. While
here he was entertained by the members
of the local bar.

THE MORNING NEWS: SATFKDAY, MARCH 3. 1894.
FLAWS IN STEEL PLATES
The Carnegip Company Forfeits $140.-
454 to tiie Government.
A Claim That the Substitution of the
Inferior Plates Was Mad? Without
the Knowledge of Any of the Higher
Officials of the Works-Secretary
Herbert Makes an Official Statement
About the Mat er.
Washington, March 2. -The Secretary
of the Navy to-night made public some
interesting facts heretofore carefully
kept secret in regard to the armor plate
contracts of the Carnegie Company for
the new navy vessels. The publica
tion was called out by Washington dis
patches to the New York Tribune, assert
ing that inferior armor plates to the
value of some millions of dollars
had been imoosed upon tiio government
by the Carnegie works, notwithstanding
the presence in the works of an officer of
the ordinance bureau, who inspected the
plates, and that the matter being discov
ered, Mr. Carnegie and his managing
man, Mr. Frick, were summoned to Wash
ington last December aud had an inter
view with the President, which resulted
in the imposition of a heavy fine upon
them.
WHERE THE BLAME LAV.
It was not charged that Mr. Carnegie
or Mr. Frick, or any one in high authority
at the works, was cognizant df tho sub
stitution of plates inferior to the test
plates, hut it was suggested that the
substitution was by some foreman or
other person having an interest in
showing a greater percentage of excel
lence in his work than the facts war
ranted. The. penalty imposed on the Car
negies was 10 per cent of the amount of
the contract price of the plates delivered.
Secretary Herberts statement is subjoined
The secretary adds that the Tribune s
suggestion that the imposition of this fine
had anything to do with Mr. Carnegie's
celebrated letter of Jan. 3, just previous
to his sailing for Europe, in which he
gave a qualified approval of the Wilson
bill, is entirely gratuitous. The matter,
he says, was entirely a business transac
tion between Mr. Carnegie and the de
partment and, as such, has been closed.
SECRETARY HERBERT'S STATEMENT.
Secretary Herbert's official statement
is as follows; “Early in December last
the department ascertained that illegal
practices were being resorted to by some
of the em|6oyes of the Carnegie Steel
Company, limited, at Pittsburg, Pa., in
the manufacture of armor for th? gov
ernment, and that these irregulari
ties had been continued for some
time. A thorough investigation was set
on foot at once. It was ascertained
that while the armor manufactured for
the government was good—all exceeding
the lowest limit of tolerance in the speci
fications— yet, that portions of it were
not up to the highest possible mark of
excellence, which by their contract, the
company was bound to attain.
lIAlt TO PAT $140,484.
“After some time spent in negotiations,
the Carnegie Steel Company appealed
from the Secretary of the Navy to the
President, who, on Jan. 10, assessed the
damages against the company at $140,484.
and the company, on Jan. 17. 1894, settled
with the department. There was no evi
dence showing, or even tending to
show, that any of the officers
above those immediately superin
tending the tempering and heat
ing were at all cognizant of these
irregularities, but as the Company was
responsible for the acts of its employes,
damages to that extent were assessed
against the company and the contracts
continued. The department has taken
such precautions at this and all other
points where contract work is being done
for the government that it is believed to
be impossible for any irregularities to oc
cur in the future without immediate de
tection.”
PATCHING UP THE TARIFF.
The Senate Committee Devotee An
other Day to the Bill.
Washington, March 2. The Senate
finance committee spent another day on
the task of framing a tariff bill that will
conciliate all factions of the Democratic
party and secure the votes of the protec
tionist tariff reformers and those
favoring a tariff for revenue only.
At the end of the day Senator Voorhees
said good headway had been made.
He admitted, however, that no definite
conclusion had been reached on the dis
puted schedules.
The finance committee has not been the
only place where interesting conferences
have taken place, for while Senator Voor
hees and liis associates were at work
there. Senator Gorman and other conserv
atives were closeted in the room of the
Maryland senator, and in the room of Sen
ator Allison on the same floor, numerous
republicans were found at various hours,
almost the entire day being consumed by
Senators Allison and Aldrich in dose con
sultation.
niLh BEFORE THE COMMITTEE.
Senator Hill was before the finance
committee almost the whole morning and
remained during much of the afternoon.
He made a speech in favor of incidental
protection for many of the industries
in New York, and also re
iterated his previous remarks in tho
caucus concerning the income tax. Sena
tor Hill declined to talk about the confer
ence, but intimated that ho believed the
committee would see the necessity of re
port. nz a bill that was satisfactory and
th t vv.uill yield satisfactory revenue to

which, course, includes whisky aua to

committee some information concerning
the amounts that would be received by a
tax on sugar from some of the tentative
propositions that have been made. Tho
whisky tax appears to have boon lost
sight of entirely, so little is it discussed.
Senator Voorhees said this afternon
that he hoped the bill would be ready to
lay before tho full committee Monday,
and at all events it would be completed
as speedily as possible. Nothing, he said,
would be permitted to stand in the way,
and when his attention was called to the
Rlnnd bill, which bad passed the House,
Senator Voorhees said that measure
would have to wait until tho tariff bill
had been disposed of.
THE SUGAR SCHEDULE.
It is und: rstood t’qat the committee has
practically decided upon the sugar sched
ule. ami in the result reached the sugar
men appear to have gotten more than had
been conceded up to this point. Accord
ing to tho authority obtainable all sugars
up to 80 s by the polariscopic test will have
a duty of one cent, between 80° and 00°
one-tenth of a cent additional, and be
tween 90 and 96° the rate has not been
decided upon, although a demand is made
lor two one hundredths of a cent lor each
degree. Above 46° a net increase of ** of
a cent is asked, and up to this time re
fused by the committee.
WAR ON THE OYSTER PIRATES.
The Virginia and Maryland Legisla
tures Inclined to Work in Hanaray.
Richmond, Ca . March 2.—Gov. O For
ra'l sent to the legislature to day a special
message, transmitting resolutions of tho
Maryland legislature r elating to the re
cent fight in Tangier sound between tha
Virginia oyster police steamer and tho
Maryland dredgers. The general assem
bly pass°d joint resolutions providing for
a committee to meet a similar committee
from the Maryland legislature and de
termine the question upon evidence
whether ihe fight took place in Maryland
or Virginia waters.
The legislature will to-morrow pass a
bill providing that Maryland may pursue
invaders into Virginia Waters, provided
Maryland passes a bill giving V irginia the
same rights.
The Maryland committee, who were
deputed to lay these resolution of their
state before Gov. O'Ferrall and
the Virginia general assembly will ree
ommeud to their legislature the passage
of a reciprocity a t and the appointment
of a committee similar to that raised by
the Virginia resolutions. It is contem
plated that the committees shall sit in
joint session and a make thorough investi
gation. with a view to finding out whether
Maryland has any right to claim repara
tion.
VIRGINIA’S BALLOT LAW.
The Senate in FavOr of the Australian
System.
Richmond. Va., March 2.—The Senate
to night after an animated four hours
discussion ordered to its engrossment the
Walton bill, providing for grafting the
Australian ballot system on the
Anderson-McCormick election law.
The fight was over efforts made
by a number of senators to have the
counties and cities in their districts ex
empted from the operations of tiie law.
This developed that statements were
made to the caucus to the effect that this
course might be pursued. The hill as
passed upon will apply to the whole state.

FIN DE SIECLE MINSTRELSY.
Black Women Blacken Their Faces and
Crack Personal Jokes.
From the Now York Sun.
A baker’s dozen of young women belong
ing to colored society in Hempstead,
decked themselves in burnt cork and gor
geous costumes, and sang songs and
cracked jokes for charity in Liberty Hall,
Hempstead, last evening. In front of a
picturesque drop curtain that has done
service since the war. a big audience
waited patiently until 8:30 o’clock for the
show to open.
In the second part, with bones and tam
bourines, the real enjoy ment began. The
scene opened with a grand chorus. The
right tambourine enjoyed her part thor
oughly. At times Bones ran away- from
the chorus, and frequently Miss E. Wil
son. who was the interlocutor, was com
pelled to suppress the tambos, who
showed a disposition to break out at un
called for intervals. Back in the gallery
a number of society'people enjoyed the
show.
“Hey, Miss Johnsing," inquired Bones
as she threw the opening joke. “Why is
fashion like a blank cartridge?”
Of course Miss Johnsing was unable to
say, when Bones blurted out:
“Beease; it’s all powder and puff.”
“Say, Miss Interlocutor.” asked the
prodigy of the cast, "what’s a pig doin’
when he’s eatin’i”
Interlocutor gave it up.
"Makin’ a hog of hisself.”
“Dar’s a Lock on de Chicken Coop
Door,” in song and chorus, upset even the
interlocutor.
“VV by does a hen lay eggs in de day time
only?” lisped Bonos, who wore red with a
y ellow sunflower. No one knew "Beease
at night dey’s all roosters. Yah 1”
Then one of the tambos became per
sonal.
•What’s a woolly competition?” and
she kicked her tamborine, showing her
white stockings. “Yah! Yah! dat s what
I said,” she replied to repeated questions
of ilio interlocutor. Then, with a flourish
of the tambourine, and pointing to a kink
haired Bones opposite, she said' “Trying
to get a fine-tooth comb through Miss
Smith’s hair.”
Other time-worn jokes awoke distant
recollections in the hearts of tho vener
able spectators who lilted the first three
rows of seats.

lieve, that, like a flower, nitions should fa'l

was here. Respectfully, JACK COX.
