State Of Trade.

New YORK, NoY. BrddStreet'S
in its commercial summary says
THE past week is conspicuous for
showing a remarkable increase in the
number of failures throughout the
country, the total ,being 227 against
1856 last week, a gain of II. AS COM
pared with like weeks in the three
preceding years, like increase is
noted excepting in the second week
Of November, 1888. in which the total
was 205. The general trade situation
throughout the country presents few
new features. The movement of
merchandise has not increased at any
point. In certain lines business con
tinueS good in others only fairly ac-
tive, and in some it is dull and de-
Ginning. At leading Eastern centerS
seaSOnahle goods are in smaller re-
quest than in the two preceding
months. Many manufacturers at the
East in many instances claim to be
doing as well as during the cores
ponding period in 1891, but not a few
are doing no better. Iron is firm
but buyers are not anxious. Makers
do not look for a squirt during the
current year. 1t is a significant fact
that there are eleven iron furnaces in
blast in the Schuylkill and Lehigh
Valleys which had not been blown in
on October l. Steel rails are firm.
One sale has been made at S34, but
S32 is believed to be the ruling price.
The advance from S26 is due to a
combination among producers and a
moderate demand. 1t is reported
that tWO-thirds of the Dakota wheat
crop has been marketed and that re-
celDts there are One-haIf less than last
year. The movement of dry goods
from Eastern centers is reported to
be steady, but relatively light,
without appr eciahle change in prices.
BOsTON, Nov. 14.-The ADVERTISER
in its weekly review of the wool mar
ket says: There has been more do
ing this week-larger sales, more in
quiry and greater interest. The sales
are about a million pounds more
than last week. Prices of medium
woods are now 10 percent higher than
year ago, so that manufacturers will
have to obtain an advance in goods
in order to sustain the prices of me-
dunn woods.
CONNELLSVILLE, Nov. 14.-The
Keystone Courier says: When we
stated in our report two weeks ago
that the coke trade outlook was de-
cidedIy better we expected to be able
to REINFORCE that statement this week
by some further favorable symp-
toms, but we did not expect to record
that a virtual boom had set in. At
lifetime of our last report the add.
tional percent ordered in by the
syndicate on October Doth had pushed
the percentage Of syndicate ovens in
blast up to 90. To day 20 percent are
running with prospects of an imme.
diate increase.

WAsHINGToN, D. c., Nov. IT,
There will be a caucus of Republican
Senators little while before Congress
meets to decide upon a course to be
followed with regard to President
q Cleveland's appointments. AS the
time for Congress to meet approaches
it becomes apparent that a vigorous
effort will be made to change House
rules. Representative Springer has
prepared revision which he intends
to submit for adoption early in the
session. 1t proposes to take three of
the appropriation bills from the APP
preparation Committe. The army
bill is to be given to the Military,
the naval bill to the Naval Commit
tee and the postoffice bill to the
-Postotfice Committee. Mr.. Springer
says his revision will open a way for
the prompt transaction of all bust
ness which meets the approval of
majority and prohibit flibustering
after three days.

NAT GOODWIN TAKEN IN.

Nat Goodwin is the victim of the lates
good story on the Square. According tc
gossip, an actor who had travelled severa
seasons with him in an humble but use
ful capacity, got married recently and set
tied down here to earn living off the
stage. Nat was one of the friends who
sent the happy pair souvenir of esteem.
A couple of days later he met the bride
groom and found him decidedly dismal.
"Why, what ails your he asked.
''Don't housekeeping agree with your"
THAT'S just it," returned the whilom
employee. 81 spent so much on the
wedding that can't get the furniture to
go to housekeeping with. l haven't got
dollar to make deposit even for an in
stallment fit out"
"That's bad" said the sympathetic
Nat, beginning to feel around his pockets.
''But hold on. / used to 90 to school with
Jim Coogan, down the Bowery. Go tell
him I'll Be security for you, and guess it
will be all right. III give you a note to
him."
Next daY he received q note from his
grateful protege informing him that it was
all right; the fiat was being elegantly fur
pished. A month later he received
piteous letter from the same source, ask
ing him to loan the writer $25 10 pay bis
first installment, as he was still hard up
and threatened with the loss of his furni-
ture if he did not cash up. This occurred
three times in succession, and each time
Nat sent the money with an indignant
and sympathetic letter rejecting on the
obdurateness of the old school-fellow's
heart. The other day he met Coogan,
and fell foul of him with fervid re-
breaches for his heartleSsness.
"You're the widest man ever | saw
over a mares nest" said the. latter,
calmly, when Nat poused for breath.
feWhy, I've not only not sent him in any
bills for his furniture, but I've loaned
him hundred out of my own pocket, be-
cause he had your letter for security. He
told me you owed him the money from
bad season when you couldn't pay sala-
RES, and he was 20 take it out in trade
with me-"
Nat is now looking for the migrate, who
has sold out the fiat and gone West, and
Coogan wants to know who will settle
chat bill. It is not his ungrateful pro-
tege,s ingratitude that breaks Mats
heart. however, but the imputation on his
soIyency as manager.-Drdmatic NeUs. |

A RING AND A LOCK OF HAIR.

Among the many touching incidents in
connection with the death of Gen. Grant
none are more pathetic than those which
are suggested by the title OF this article.
They will be kept by the historian
size so delicately and yet SO firmly the
tender relations existing between the
great man and his faithful wife that
the people must needs feel their
love and admiration for him increas.
ing. We have always known tina
his happiest hours were passed within
the limits of the family circle; but in
these two incidents we have romance
of affection which is intensely pathetic.
Years ago che placed on his finger a
ring. He wore it as kind of talisman,
whose magic influence could repel im.
pending danger. In war, in peace, in
the imminent breach, and in the calm
pursuits of leisure it was the token Of un.
dimihed and Hudying affection. When
through long continued sickness his
hand became emaciated the ring was re.
moved; but after death the son bent over
the rigid body and placed the mothers
gift upon that cold finger again, that the
dead might bear it to the grave.
The other incident is still more pa.
thetc. The dying man wrote letter
to his wife, to be delivered to her whan
all was over. In answer to that letter,
whose contents are far too sacred to BIZ
told, which was doubtless filled with ex.
pressions of an affection which will out
live the tomb, she wrote another letter,
inclosing n lock of hair, filed with the
hope to meet him on the other side OF
the mist of death, and that letter wa
placed in the pocket of the dead warrio s
to go with him to his last resting place.
We are not inclined to be sentimental,
but as simple facts in the married life OF
wife and husband, these incidents are
well worth recording. They tell u long
and sweet story of the happy past, aud
who shall say that their reference to the
future s Unfopnded?-New York Herdid.

Ex-REBEL PENSIONERS.

A NUMBER or FORMER CoNFEDERATEs SAID
To BE ENTITLED TO A PLACE ON THE
ROLLS.
There has recently been considerable
comment at the fact that one or two ex.
confederate soldiers have received n
federal pension. These comments have
called attention TO the fact, not gener.
ally known, that n considerable number
of ex.confederate soldiers may perhaps
be entitled to federal pension. This
would be in the case of those confeder.
ate soldiers who, while prisoners of war,
took the oath of allegiance to the United
States, enlisted in the federal army, and
received disabilities while in the line of
duty as federal soldiers. There has
always been suspicion among those
familiar with the disposition of ex.con.
federate prisoners that considerable
number of these prisoners enlisted in the
Union army, but for reasons that can
we'll be understood the federal authori.
ties at the time did not make the fact
public, and the confederate. Union sol.
diers would not be likely at that time, or
since, TO mention the fact that they had
been soldiers in the two armies. II was
not to be assumed that the enlistment Of
ex-confederates in the Union army was
due to any love for the federal cause;
these enlistments we're the result, rather,
Of the hopelessness Of the ex.confeder.
ates at their situation, and, doubtless,
many enlisted in the expectation that
they would have an opportunity 10 desert
to the confederate lines.
1t can be proved from the records OF
the War Department that two Illinois
regiments were recruited to q considcra-
BILE extent from confederate prisoners
confined at the time in Camp Douglas,
at Chicago. This enlistment of confed-
crates took place in 1862, prior to the gen.
eral exchange of prisoners. This state.
ment is sustained by q communication
from the War Department to Capt.
Hiram II. Enoch, formerly of Rockford,
ILL.,, now resident of Baltimore, who,
IL 1862, was provost marshal at Camp
Douglas. Capt. Enoch at the time kept
private register of oil the confederate
prisoners at thatp post aud of the disposi.
| ton of them. He has furnished trans.
cript Of that record.
From the official rec '~ds of the adju
tant generals office, in ,nc report as to
the number of confederate prisoners of
war confined at Camp Douglas prison
prior and subsequent to Nov. l. 1862, with
the disposition of the same, it appears
that out of the prisoners there were en-
listed in the United States army prior &c
Nov. |, 1862, 2l2, and subsequent tc
Nov. /, 1862, 1,lS5. The adjutant gen
eral notes that in the minority of cases
the federal organization in which these
men enlisted is not shown by the rec
ords on file.
The private register of Capt. Enoch
however, does show the regiments il
which these ex.confederates were en-
listed. The entry in his book made a
the time relative to these prisoners is a'
follows: enlisted in the Twenty. y.thirC
and Sixty.fiith Illinois Regiments 800. ,
1t is possible, therefore, that of these ~!
confederate recruits for the Union army
some may have received pensions.

The cost of Gen. Grants funeral ID
already attracting remark, and we
notice some inquiry as to who is to pay
for it. AS the total will not be less than
100000, exclusive of the expendi.
ture by military bodies and in behalf OF
the United States troops, it is not sur.
prising that the discussion of payment
for so considerable sum should begin
early. We take it for granted, however,
when a great commonwealth like the
Empire state and wealthy metropolis
like New York has the high honor OF
opening its capitol and its city hall to
receive the remains of national hero
whose burial place is conlided to its soil
and whose last resting place is within its
borders, that there will be no question
of asking any one else to pay the
bill for the honors paid the dead by a
city and state thrice honored by its OPP
portunity and privilege. 1t is not pos
sible that either New York state or city
will wish to shoulder paying for its own
honor elsewhere. IL Pennsylvania or
Philadelphia had been given the game
privilege the cost of this funeral would
never be heard of outside the legislature
and of councils. This commonwealth
and city would have asked for no aid in
bearing the sacred and precious burden.
Still we are fain to admit that they do
these things differently across the
