WASHINGTON, D. C.
CONDITION OF TRADE.
MOVEMENTS OF TEE PRESIDENT \ B - G - DUN * co -’ 8 importfor week knd-
AND HIS ADVISERS. | IK ° ” 0VltMn,at 3 °'
R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of
trade says: The two heavy tires, wilh
aggregate losses estimated at $16,000,000
or more, may have nn influence upon
several branches of trade which cannot
yet be estimated. Prior to the Boston
tire the boot and shoe trade there had
been quite puralized by the fire at Lynn,
and as to the leather trade a little ad
vance was anticipated, while in New
York it was by many expected that the
temporary, withdrawal of the demand
would cause some fall in leather. The
Boston tire of/Thursday destroyed heavy
stocks of goods, and will doubtless af
fect the demand. Rebuilding in both
cities will create a sudden demand fot
materials and labor. Heavy concurrent
losses may shake some insurance compa
nies, and affect the finances of films
burned out. But general prosperity and
large accumulation of available capital
will probably render the influence of
these disasters comparatively narrow and
brief. In other respects the situation is
quite as encouraging as. it has been for
some weeks past; the volume of business
is unsurpassed and pressure in money
markets, though not ended at New
York, has seemed to be abating elsewhere.
Reports from other sections aro without
exception, favorablo on the whole.
Western cities, without exception, find
trade good. Money is fairly active, but
nowhere stringent, ut the western points
reporting, and the accounts icgardiug
collections are better than usual. Cotton
is unchanged, though receipts the past
week exceed last year’s by 1G,GOO, and
exports by 49,COO bales, and sales have
been 378,000. Coffee has not moved,
tbongh 290,000 bags have been sold. Su
gar is stronger with more active distribu
tion, but Sprcckles again announces that
his war with' th6 trust is to the death,
and bis work is about to begin. The
shoe towus have all been shipping more
largely than usual and the demand con
tinues exceptionally good, for the sea
son in leather products generally with a
prospect of some increase because of the
Lynn fire. The great boom in iron abroad
with spe (ulatne excitement rurly wit
nessed and rapid fluctuations in pi ices,
causes some apprehension, because expe
dience teaches that such rapid and cx-
| cited movements are usually followed by
; ugly reactions. Unparalleled produc-
, tion in this country still continues and
, ?they fur n ,aces of large production arc
I ab ut to b 0 i_.tj op.r.itioa and yet
/prices arc firm at Philadelphia.
Though warrants hive been quoted a
j little lower,at New York the demand for
| manufactured forms, continuing large at
i lull prie.eu There has been no important
change in fiumces, but merchandise ex
ports, though small for the week, have
I been nearly eight per cent, larger than
I last year for the month. The value ol
exports in October was not only greater
than in any previous October, but .lias
never been - exceeded in any mouth, ex
cept slightly in one, December, 1879.
With an unprecedented excess of exports
over imports, amounting to over 29.000,-
000 in that mouth, and another heavy
excess assured for November, the rate ol
foreign exchange has scarcely altered
lor two weeks. The reported decision
! that treasury deposits with banks shall
be gradually withdrawn, 10 per cent, of
I them by the end of January, has been
expected, because these deposits when
j made were intended to lie only ternpo-
i rary. and will give the treasurer am-
j plo time to put an equal amount into
j circulation iu other ways. The treasury
i paid out during last week $1,300,000
more than it had taken in, mi the rate
I lor money lias not changed. Business
! failures occurring throughout the coun
try last week number for the United
1 States 210; Canada, 39; total* 240,
! against 277 last week.
ALDERMEN SENT UP-
SEVERAL PROMINENT CITIZENS OF PITTS -
BURG, PA., WILL GO TO JAIL.
JJPrOlNlMKXTS, DECISION'S, AXO OTHER MATTERS
OF INTEREST FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
It is estimated ut the treasury depart
ment that there has been a dccreaso of
$4,000,000 in the public debt since No
vember 1st.
The secretary of treasury has decided
to reduce the number of national bunk
depositories and the amount of public
monies kept therewith.
The attorney-general at Washington is
informed that the trial of the cases of
alleged frauds in Florida, at the lust
£ residential election,has already resulted
t three convictions.
Secretary Tracy has made arrange
ments by which the navy is to be furn
ished brown prismatic powder for large
guns and the new smokeless powder for
smaller arms.
P. D. Armour, before the dressed beef
committee, denied the existence of a
cembination to raise prices. He claimed
that the herding of immense numbers of
cattle on the government lands, and
rushing them half grown into market
depressed prices.
The Secretary of State is engaged in
negotiations for an international copy
right treaty with France. Count De-
Keratry has been at Washington some
time as a special representative of the
French republic, and voices the views of
literary men of that nation.'
Senator Vest’s committee, which has
been investigating the dressed beef busi
ness of the country for some months,
having visited the centers of that busi
ness, in the course of their inquiry, dur
ing the recess of congress, has resumed
tire extmination of witnesses in the room
of the senate (ommittee on commerce.
A letter was read in the international
American conference on AVednesday
from LnFnyette Rodrigues Pereira, one
of the delegates from Brazil, announcing,
with regret, that he felt unable to con
tinue to act as delegate, owing to the
changed condition of affairs in liis coun
try. The day was devoted to discussing
the proposed rules of procedure.
The first thanksgiving day of the new
administration was generally celebrated
in Washington. The president carried
out the letter of his thanksgiving proc
lamation by attending services at the
Ch'.irch of d’e Covenant in the morning.
In the evening he ate an old fuslihuod
Thanksgiving dinner at t he white house,
surrounded by members of his family.
Colonel Eras'; of tho army, the new
commissioner of public buildings and
grounds, was the only gueat.
ALABAMA JUTE.
ANEW AND VALUABLE n'EED DISCOVERED
THAT DISCOUNTS JUTE.
The Birmingham Age Herald reports
the discovery by Mr. F. J. Fuller of a
valuable weed growing wild in Jefferson
county, Ala., or rather an important use
for it. He calls it “Alabama jute,” and
he exhibited strips of the covering or
bark five feet in length, stronger by far
than jute,and finer. Mr. Fuller said that
the bark could be easily stripped from
the stem, and wi:en passed through an
ordinary cane mill, would come out al
most clean. He thought that the weed,
growing wild, would yield a thousand
pounds of fibre per acre, and this could
he largely increased by cultivation. He
was confident that he had discovered a
substitute better than jute for cotton
bagging, and one which would add a
new product to every southern farm and
prove a great saving to cotton planters.
TRAIN ROBBERS
ARMED TO TITE TEETII, CAPTURE AN EN
GINE, MAIL AND EXPRESS CAR.
A dispatch from Fort Worth, Texas, ,
says: Sixteen mounted and heavily armed \
men boarded the south bound Santa Fe
passenger train Tuesday night, at Ber
wyn, a small station in the Chickasaw :
nation, Indian territory, and cut the en- j
gine and mail and express loose from the J
coaches. They then ran the train :
two miles and threw the fireman 1
off the locomotive. Two miles
further on the engineer was |
thrown; off, and after running four miles
further, steam was turned off and the
engine killed. Then the robbers began
an attack on the express car. The guard
and the messenger fired twenty shots,
but finally gave iu after the robbers had 1
literally riddled the car. The monej
•tolen is between twenty and thirty
thousand dollars. Tho passengers and
mail were not molested. United States
marshals are in pursuit of the robbers.
One of the features of the next census,
which will attract much attention, will
be church statistics. .Superintendent
Porter has appointed Dr. H. K. On toll,
editor of the Independent, to have
charge of this dopav.ment. It will give
the stntisti s of clin ch organirat ona,
edifices, seating t apacity, value of
church pro^ city, and the number of
commun cants. The regular census
enumerators cannot gather these s'at's-
ties, as they are already overburdened;
but Super.litendont Porter expects, with
the aid of the various denom nutions, to
obtain the information he seeks in reli
able and comprehensive fo m. . Oliureh
organizations should put themselves in
eomrauuiiation with Dr. Carroll, and
give him all tho assishtr-cd essential to
ac.;uia':7 in the matter.
Aldermen Callan, Dougherty and
Maneese, and Detectives Bauder,
Doyle, Nagle and Bender, convicted
of conspiracy to defraud in accepting
bribes to settle illegal liquor selling
cases, were sentenced Friday morning by
Judge AVhite. of the criminal court of
Pittsburg, Pa. Callan got three
yeurs in the workhouse, and
Doughty one year and Maneese
six months in jail. Buuder and his chief
detective eath got three years iu the
workhouse, Nagle one year and Bender
six months in jail. The aldermen are all
quite prominent and wealthy, and always
stood high in the community. Their
method was to have the detectives enter
Buit against unlicensed liquor dealers and
then settle the case for a consideration
without reporting the matter to the
court.
Coffee Drinkers.
In Turkey, coffee driukJug is universal
and continuous. Tho writer passed a
greater part of ’four years in Constanti
nople, where he had occasion to call
upon tho officials of the Sublime Porte
t>o frequently that it would bo difficult
to enumerate these official visits; and
with few exceptions, when the visit
was protracted to any length, black cof
fee, pure in quality and prepared with
the grounds, was regularly served in
small, delicate cups. All Turks, from
the highest to the lowest, indulge in the
beverage, a few swallows at any time,
throughout the day, and without any
evil effects. In Athens, also, coffee is
drank in quantities which surprise the
uninitiated; but neither the sedentary
habits of the Turk nor the quick, ener
getic temperament of tho Greek seems
to be affected by the perpetual imbiding
of this beverage.

You may sing of tho beauty of springtime
That glows on the ctie ik of the young,
But I sing of a beauty that’s rarer
Than any of which you have sung.
The beauty that’s seen In the faces
Of women whoso Bummer is o’er.
The autumn-tike heauty that charms us
Far more than the beauty of yore.
But this heauty is seen too rarely. The
faces of most women lose the heauty of youth
too soon. Female disorders are like frosts
which come to nip the flowers which betoken
good health, without which there can bo no
veal beauty. If our American women.would
fortify themselves against the approach of
tho terrible disorders so prevalent among
them, by using IV. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip
tion, their good looks would be retained to a
“sweet old age.” This remedy is a guaranteed
cure for all the distressing weaknesses and
derangements peculiar ,to women.

Deafness Cuu’i He Cured
by local application, ns they can not. reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is only
one way to cure Deafness, and that is by con
stitutional renyedies. Deafness is caused by
an inflamed condition of tho mucus lining of
tho Eustachian Tube. When this tube get-
inflamed you have a. rumbling sound or im
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is tho result, and unless the
inflamation can bo taken out and this tube re
stored to its normal conhilion, hearing will
be destroyed forever ; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing hut
an inflamed condition of t lie niecus surfaces.
AVe will give Oao Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by Catarrh) that wo
can not cure by taking Hall's Catarrh cure.
