THE TRADE SITUATION,
Failures Increase From 7,704 In
Ten Months Last Year

NEw YoRE, November 1.-THE total
number of failures throughout the United
States for the year to date, as reported to
Bradstreeis, amounts to 9,627, as COM
pared with 1904 for a corresponding por-
ton Of 1885, as compared with 1856 in
1888, and with 6,6O2 in 1882. The past
week is conspicuous for showing remark
able increase IN the number Of failures
throughout the country, the total being
2l7 against l56 last week, a gain OF Il.
As compared with like weeks in the three
preceding years, like increase is noted
excepting in the second week of NoVem'
Der, 1884, in which the total was POS.
The general trade situation throughout
the United States reveals few new features.
Among them is the colder weather in the
regions tributary to Ksnsas City Mo-;
Burlington, Iowa, and Omaha, Neb., in
each of which there has been renewal OF
purchases among retailers. In this ar
rival Of lower temperature has justified
expectations The movement OF merchan-
dise has not increased at any point. In
certain lines business continues good, in
others only Gsirly active, and in some it is
dull and declining. At leading Eastern
centers seasonsbls goods are in smaller re-
quest than during the two preceding
months. Manufacturers at the East, in
many instances, claim to be doing as we'll
as at the corresponding period in 1884, but
not few are doing no better.
Iron is firm, but buyers are not anxious
Makers do not look for squirt during the
current year. Prices are firm, but no ad-
vance has been made. 1t is a significant
fact that there are IL iron furnaces IN full
blast in the Schuylkill and Lehigh valleys
which had not blown in October l. Steel
rails are firm. One sale has been made
at $34, bat $52 is believed to be the cur
rent rate. The advance from $26 is due
to combination among produces, backed
BY q moderate demand. Anthracite coal
is still active, and prices ore firm.
Wheat has been active and lower. Re
ceipts at primary markets and at the East
have swelied the visible supply, and the ex'
port demand has failed TO find stimulus.
Shipments by farmers are smaller. 1t is
reported that two thirds of the Dakota crop
has been harvested, and that receipts there
are one half lees than last year. Indian
corn is firm but lower, due to absence OF
active interest in the near options. Stocks
are small, despite the heavy supplies.
Flour is dull and heavy, and not in active
request for export.
Petroleum closes dull and heavy for GER
ti6cates. The situation continues bulish,
but the market refuses to respond. Ocean
freights continue low and heavy, with the
supply in excess of the demand.
The movement Of dry goods and Of wool
from Eastern centers is reported to be
steady, but relatively light, without spPre
ciable change in prices, Grocery staples
have been quiet, with lower prices on cof
fee and OoloDg tea. Dairy products ore
slightly depressed. Cotton futures are
higher on the week OF active trading and Q
disposition to anticipate the result of the
worst features Of late reports on the corp,

The Death Warrant Of Riel Near at Hand
His Relatives Anguish.

The Death Warrant of Riel Near at Hand
His Relatives Anguish.
ToRoxro. November 1.-The Mail to.
day has the following special from Wlnni'
peg, dated the 18th: A special messenger
passed Port Arthur this afternoon on his
way to Regina. bearing the Governor Gen.
erals warrant for the execution Of Riel at
Regina on Monday next. He will reach
Winnipeg tomorrow morning and Rs
gina on Sunday morning. All he
preparations for the execution have been
completed. Riel was made aware some
DAYS ago that the sentence Of the court
would be carried into effect on Monday,
but after the first reprieve he got it into bis
head that he would be sent to the peniten-
tisry, and his spiritual advisers could do
nothing with him, his manner becoming
iosolent and at the same time exceedingly
offensive. But when the news was broken
TO him on Monday evening last that he
must prepare for death, he sobered down.
1t may be we'll to add that none Of the
alleged interviews said TO have been held
with him lately ever took place, and the
correspondents Of certain American and
Canadian papers have been running q DO
gus news bureau for weeks back.
Riers relations and friends at ST. Vilax,
five miles from here, are aware that Mon
day will end all. They are naturally very
much broken down. His poor old mother
became crazed q few months ago, during
the rebellion, 90 that to-day she is unable
to realize the dreadful position in which
her son is placed. Joseph, his brother
who is o most respectable man, is in q
dreadful state Of mind. Riefs wife
whom he did rot treat well during the
rebellion, leaving her exposed to danger
and to hunger, and is reported TO be near
" heart-broken, but the priests are with
her and the other relatives, and everything
that can be done to comfort them will te
done. The Riel family have from the frsi
secuted the idea that the prisoner was in
sane. They say he had decisions on re
liQion and on the subject of his own i'm
portance, but that on all matters he was
not only sane, but exceedingly intelligent
and clever. They have been deeply paineC
BY the publication Of the bogus inter
views.

MARRIED ABOVE THE CLOUDS
With snow Shoes on Their Feet-A Move
Wedding,

With Snow Shoes on Their Feet-A Novel
Wedding.
SILvERToN, Cor. November II IA nov
elWedding took place near here Thursday.
Mis- Nellie Corners, Of Lake City, and
Mr.. Oscar Olsen, of Animas Forks, we're
married on snow shoes at the summit Of
spur of the continental divide,
the altitude being over $4,000 feet.
Lake City and Animus Forks are
on opposite ades OF the range of noun.
tains, which at this season of the year are
covered with deep snow. Early in the
morning the bride, accompanied BY her
two brothers and a party of friends, left
Lake City on snow shoes, the only means
by which the mountains could be scaled,
for the summit Of the divide. The groom
accompanied by Rev. Father Levy and
party Of friends, left Animas at the same
time, also destined for tie summit Of the
mountains.
1t was an arduous trip for both parties,
and not unaccompsnied with danger. It
was nearly noon when the groom's party
reached the designated point of meeting.
The brides party had not yet arrived, but
they had not long to wait, for soon the
bride came into sight, merrily trudging
along, q brother being on either side
of her. For two hours they had been
climbing above the clouds and the extreme
altitude and huge snow drifts had made it
hard work for them. The groom went out
to meet his bride. They arrived on the
summit arm in arm. Miss Conners was
seemingly the least fatigued Of any mem.
Der of the party.
The spot chosen for the wedding was the
highest in all the San Juan country. It is
fully half mile above timber line, and
region of perpetual snow. An uninter-
rupted view of the country for a radius
of 100 miles could be had. The wedding
party were on level with the highest Of
the bald headed peaks, and the scene was
an impressive one. The marriage
ceremony was performed IN the midst
of Q snow storm, which fairly hid
the happy couple from the view Of the
minister. Champagne, which had been
brought up by member Of the groom's par.
~, was drunk to the health Of the newly
married pair, and then the downward
journey to this place was begun, the bride
and groom leading the way. Here sup
per was awaiting them, and the romantic
couple received the congratulations OF
everybody in the camp.

deal OF talk on the street recently about
heavy purchases in London and American
securities, and large shipments from this
city to Europe IN account. For some
time past opening prices in London have
been generally higher than the closing
quotations OF the evening before on the
New York Sock Exchange. The result
was an excited and irregular opening,
ranging between an advance Of J TO ! |!
and decline of for the active list. The
highest prices however, with few
exceptions, were established dur
ing the forenoon There was no
decided break until o'clock, when within
Gfteen minutes nearly all the active shares
