more doing in general business the past
week, but no material change in prices.
Pig irsn continues quiet, but firm and I'M
changed. Manufactured iron is in heavy
demand, and unchanged. The glass trade
is improving. There is fair inquiry for

and brisk business for the next few
months. Prices are stiffening up, but no
change has yet been made. Coal is dull
and depressed. Shipments during the
week were. l.l76 900 bushels. Owing to the
fact that the lower markets are overstocked
operators are not anxious to make ship
ments. Petroleum ruled weak but the
fluctuations were rather small. United GER

BUSINESS.
EaIInres for the Pasf Reek.

New YORK, March S.-R. G. Dun Il Co,
Mercantile Agency, report the business
failures for the week throughout the
country as 49,, against l2S last week The
eastern States furnished IL; western A.:
southern SO; middle %; Pacific Coast and
territories 8, and New York city :. In the
city OF New York the most important
failure is that of Cascade, Crooks and
Regnand, who have liabilities of several
hundred thousand dollars, mostly abroad.
This disaster is said to have been caused
remotely by the collapse of the Union Gen.
erale of Paris, and the contraction of Con-
tinental bank facilities, resulting there.
From the decline of business, devastating
floods in the Southwest, and
and several important failures have
combined to cause feeling of apprehen-
sion as to the healthfulness of trade gen.
orally. Large losses arising from hazard
Gus speculation and resulting in a decline
in values, contributes to the feeling of un-
certainty, and the week has not been very
comforting one to the trading commu-
nifty generally. Nevertheless there is
no indications that the legiti-
mate trade of the country is
less than before, or that the ability to
absorb, consume and pay for all goods pur-
chased need be questioned. The reports as
to crops in the west and northwest are
unanimously coed, and the spring demand
fsctoCiiy.

Transfers and Limitations.


Provision is also made for transferring
all claims now before Congress to the Court
of Claims. and private claims not
now pending before Congress or
some one of the executive departments
and which accrued prior to the year 1851,
shall be barred Existing claims are re-
quired to be presented to the court in the
manner set forth within two years from
passage of the act. and all claims hereafter
accruing shall be so presented within SIX
wears after the final determination OF such
claims by any of the executive depart
ments; otherwise they shall be barred,w
a proyiso saving the disability OF infancy
coverture and insanity and persons beyond
seas when the claim accrued; all such per-
sons are allowed two years after removal OF
their disability to file their petitions in the
court.
other Provisions
Claims of aliens and claims pending be-
fore executive departments are to go to the
the Court OF Claims and an appeal to the
Supreme Court is allowedin all cases where
the amount in controversy exceeds
three thousand dollars. Minor details
are to be regulated by the rules OF Federal
Courts and reports made by Congress shall
be continued from session to session until
disposed of.
Claimants and Members.
have given full synopsis OF the sub
stitute, because there is considerable prob
ability of its adoption or the adoption OF
something akin to it at this session, and
claimants among your readers .are inter-
ested in knowing the present situation and
future prospects of their claims. The sub
stitute finds favor, because if it should be-
come a law it will clear the committee
rooms and calendars of thousands Of claims,
many of which have slept untouched tor
wears for want of time to act upon them
and from a general disinclination on the
part of members to vote money out OF the
Treasury on an er pqrtc and interested pre-
sentatiOn of the case.
Possible Amendments.
1t is the intention OF Judge Hose, when
the substitute reported is reached, to
endeayor to amend it by inserting U. S.
Circuit Courts in place of Courts of Claims,
and his plea has the advantage of enabling
claimants to prepare their proofs and have
them determined at their own homes
| Other notifications will doubtless occur to
members and the measure may be consider
ably changed before its passage. The
point is-and this furnishes the reason fol
deyoting so much space to the subject
that is is only through perfecting some
measure of this kind that many claims
now pending, will ever get to hearing and
those holding them are therefore interested
in shaping the character and expediting it:

advance. In corn, there was more doing
and prices were fraction higher. There
was fair jobbing trade doing in provis;,
ions, and prices were steady. Clover seed
scarce and in demand; timothy and flax

are easier.

Special Dispatch to the Re1ister.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-There are
good many people in West Virginia
who are interested in claims al
ready presented and to be hereafter pre-
sented, TO Congress, for consideration. l
looked over the calendars Of the House
Committees on Claims and War Claims,
yesterday, and found no less than thirty
nine references OF West Virginia matters to
these two wocommittees, saying nothing about
the claims that have not reached any COM
mittee. From
