New York, Dec. SR. G, Dun
A Go’s weekly Review of Trade
says: “The report of failures for
tho mouth r f November is ex
tremely gratify iug because it shows
not only a decrease in number and
a smaller amount of liabilities
than in any other mcnth, except
ing three summer months, since
the.monthly record begun, but be
cause careful analyst* shows a
striking improvement both in the
small and in the large failures,
and in neaily ad classes of indus
try and trade. Considering that
failures are unusually small in the
summer months, .(he moi tiily re
turn lor Novemb-r may be consid
ered about the bes ever m ide, and
shows a condition of financial
soundness rarely surpassed.”
Bradstreet’s: “The business
world enters on the clo»ing month
of the year with so many favora
ble and so few depressing features
in sight as to leave little diubt
that the year 189 S. as a whole,
must hereafter furnish the basis
for estimate when comparisons of
large business are to be made.
Nearly all obtainable statistics
and r*p »rts as to the volume of
business point to the present year
having heavily e • eeedeu and for
mer year in the amount of busi
uei»B done, and though compan
ions as regards prices are not s >
favorable as in earlier years, nota
bly 1892 and 1890, when quota
tions of most staples wars consid
erably higher, still the expansion
m trade, due to increased popula
tion and enlarged foreign demansi
for our oroducts, has resulted in
an aggregate volume of business
done considerably in excess of any
form ir year ’’

B2CIBION OF CABIKET
To Stand no More From The
Gold-Whist'e Gentleman.
Washing’on, Dec. s.—The im
portant development o' - the Cabi
net meeting Saturday was the
sending of a dispatch by the War
Department to Major General Otis,
in command of the United States
military forces in th ’ Philippine s,
directing him to demand of Aguia
aluo the surrender of a'l Spanish
prisoner* held by the insurgeats.
An arrangement is being per
fected by the joint Peace Commis
sion in Paris, by which a'l Span
ish prisoners in tue custody of the
Unit 'd States and insurgent force?
in the Philippines si all be released
iu exchange for the liberation all
political p'ison» r ß nrreated for
complicity iu the Cuban aud Phil
ippine insurrection.
The only drawback to the abili
ty of this Government to carry out
the compact is the fa t that
Agumaldo might retuse to comply
with the wishes of the United
States To prove the goed faith of
the Spanish Government, the
President and Cabinet decidad to
act at once, so that all the pris >n
ers in Philippines would be fies
when the treaty was signed.
It is not improbable, of conrae.
that Aguinaido will show c. dispo
sition to decline to accede to the
proposition of General Otis, but
the adniinietratiou does no’ antic
ipate trouble with the Filipino
luider that will Iyad to an open
rupture.
Tha disarmament of the Philip
pine army will probably be one of
the first steps that will follow th'
formal assumption of auiboritj
over the Philippine group by ths
Unit'd Slates. Thia Gov- rnmciii
can not permit a military force
not recognized by it to exist in itr
possessions. This matter may
prove serious, but no other course
is piesible after tne islands have
passed completely under the au
thority cf the United States,
