IMPROVEMENT IN TRADE
The Business Outlook for the
Week Encouraging.
PROBABLY OWING TO FACT
That there is no Prospect OF Tariff
Legislation this Year, and Good
Crop Rcports-Iron Trade still
FIat-Busincss Failures

New YORK, August 24.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade reports that
u better feeling grows in every direction.
Crop prospects improve, manufacturers
are gaining confidence and dealers, no
longer operating on full market, keen.
ly appreciate the difference. The pres.
ent state of business is clearly encourag-
ing, larger in volume than year ago
and growing more confdentin tone.
Extensive reports within the week
strengthen the belief the corn crop will
be large, the oat crop large, the yield of
wheat not below recent estimate. The
iron trade does not brighten. as wGs ex.
pected, though prices are u little strCng-
er at Pittsburgh. About the entire out
put OF Bessemer ore has been sold Mt
Cleveland and in eastern markets the
pressure to sell Southern irons has les
sened. Yet Tennessee No. is still Of
fered at Sl7 80. Philadelphia notes u
lack OF buoyancy. Bar iron continues
irregular in price, and structural iron il
dull, and the outlook in steel rails is
considered gloomy, quotations being
S2S 30 to $50, at the east, with sales ut
the west bringing only $3l % at Duluth.
The coal trade is sphenomenullyactive,
and an advance in price is under con
siderAtion. For the first time in eight
years leather dealers are no longer SELL
ing on declining market.
In the wool trade better feeling is
seen with larger sales at Boston and
Philadelphia, and in some grades better
prices.
Money is frmer at many points with
an increasing demand, but scarcely any
where is there complaint OF Closeness,
and collections do not seem to be more
backward than is usual at this season.
In the dry goods trade improvement
is especially noted at Chicago, and full
business in cottons is in progress, with
n somewhat more satisfactory move
ment in woolens, especially in mems
wear, goods of spring weights and in
carpets.
The speculative markets have been
wheat rising Ct cents, with sales.
Of S0,O00,0OO bushels here, while oats
have declined 6 cents and corn advanced

with large dealings. Sugar is stronger,
and oil las risen Al cents.

Tho President has Trouble in Constructing
Ills Letter of Acceptance.
WAsHINGToS, D. c., August 24.-The
President is having trouble in construct
ing the tariff chapter Of his letter Of ac-
ceptance-no wonder he 'hesitates, il he
hears half Of what is said among leading
Democrats in regard to Democratic
prospects. ANY one in whom a Demo-
crat reposes confidence will be certain
to hear from that Democrat, the conf.
dental statement, not to be repeated,
that he looks upon the prospect as being
very gloomy. 4 high Democratic OH
cial with whom correspondent has
been acquainted for many years, said to
the latter:
"As matters stand the Republicans
certainly have the advantage. II the
election we're 70 take place to-day, we
would be defeated. Our only hope is to
put into operation, for nil it is worth,
the tremendous machinery OF the civil
service, and doubt ii even that will
win. eannOt imagine why man usu'
ally 60 excellent in judgmentas Cleve'
land, conld have been persuaded to
write that insane letter oil last Decem-
ber."
This is sample Of the talk one hears
privately from Democratic officials and
Congressman daily.

GEN. HARRISON'S RESTING PLACE.

Enjoying His Trip to Middle Bass Island.
Consideration OF the Club.
MIDDLE Bass, August 94.-There is
not another summer resort in America
where General Harrison could have
found a more perfect retreat and such
complete seclusion us in this spot. II
he does not secure rest and recreation
it will not be the fault OF the club.
From the very first the members have
treated General and Mrs. Harrison cor
dially and courteOusly and respected
their desire for privacy. There is no
one 10 force him to shake hands, no one
to compel him to talk, no one to urge
him to make speeches. Several persons
came in from Cleveland and asked to be
allowed TO see General Harrison,
but the members OF the club steadily re.
fused to disturb him. Fortunate it is
for the General that the club has taken
that stand or the island would be over
run with visitors, and us Harrison is so
kind and obliGing to all, he would
hardly like to decline to meet those who
have come great distance to meet him.
General Harrison is enjoying the visit
immensely, and regards Middle Pass as
the finest point on the great lakes. All
the members OF the party are well. Two
large excursions came in from Detroit
and Cleveland, but were not permitted
to see General Harrison.

Is He Bidding for Irish votes2

LONDON, August 24.-The 81. Jane,
GaseIte, commenting on President Cleve.
lands message Of Congress, says: The
position is awkward and unpleasant for
both countries. The retaliation threat
ened is so illogical and unreasonable
that it is difficult to understand its pre-
else cause and meaning. Two plausible
explanations occur. It may have been
intended to influence votes or merely to
bluff Canada into granting Americas
demand. England must and will sup.
ply proper safeguards for her Canadian
interests. We must await the next step.
1t is difficult to suppose that matters will
be allowed 10 end otherwise than i'll Il
perfectly friendly manner.
The Globe says that President Cleve-
land makes n strong case against Cana
da. 1t says: Has Mr.. Cleveland attempt
ed TO bid for the Irish vote?

MANILIA PAPER TRADE.
Meeting of Sinnufneturers in rittsbmgh.
Talk of Trust.

Talk OF Trust.
PITTSBURGH, August 24.-Severi.l OF
the principal paper manufacturers ofthe
United States held meeting at the
Monongahela House yesterday, for the
purpose of devising ways and means for
advancing the price OF MANILA paper,
especially that quality used for making
paper bags used by grocers. These rep.
resentatives OF the paper makers say that
they have realized for some time that
the price of MANILA paper has been so
light that it hardly paid to handle ii,
and hence the necessity OF this meeting.
The low price, they claim, is due to i'm
proved methods OF manufacturc,.to the
introduction OF new materials iu the art
OF paper making, and also to a species of
adulteration, known as 'loading," by
which inferior materials, such as wood
pulp, are put into paper in place OF rags.
TALK OF u TRUST.
The paper men, at their meeting yes
terday, discussed various ways of ad-
vancing the price Of MANILA, such MS a
trust or combination, and finally con-
cludcd that the most feasible mode
would be to order shutdown in the
manufacture OF tho manila grade OF
paper. To this end sort of quasi.or-
ganization of paper men was formed Of
the gentlemen present with NJ. w. Tay-
lor, OF Cleveland, as President. All the
manufacturers OF MANILA paper through
out the United States will be notified,
aud il was determined that n mectingtO
complete the arrangements necessary TO
the shut down would be called soon
again, to meet in Pittsburgh or Cleve-
land.
COMPOSITION OF THE ASSOCIATION.
The following gentlemen, represent
ing the largest paper manufacturing
companies in the United States, were
present: NJ. Adler, Atlanta, Ga. NJ: W.
raylor, Cleveland: Charles o. Stern,
Boston; W. o. D'Vey, indianapolis;
Edward NIilcb, Cleveland, and A. Hav-
erstick, Philadelphia, Others from the
East were unable TO get here OIL account
of the recent floods aud consequent un-
certain railroad travel.

sIR:-In your report Of the proceed
ings of the Charleston convention it is
stated that Mr.. +. a. Biiiingsiea, Oi this
place, seconded the nomination Of Nc
l.lure for Superintendent OF Schools.
This Is doubtless u misprint, as all who
were there know that Mr.. Billingslea
seconded the nomination Of Thomas G.
Miller in a very excellent speech.
Among the many inaccuracies in the
Registers report is one that does great
injustice to Mr.. Miller. In speaking OF
the nomination for State Superintendent
Of Schools IL says: miller got the floor,
and amid n storm Of CELLS and cries OF
Put him out, moved that he (McLure)
be nominated by acclamation." Now,
the fact is that many OF Miller's friends
called for him TO sit down, not wanting
him to Withdraw his name, and claiming
that he would be nominated on the bal
lot then in progress. II Is agreed on all
sides that Miller would have been nom
mated by large majority had not the
geographical distribution OF the ticket
determined otherwise. II is but mat
ter OF Justice to Mr.. Miller that these

THE NEWS IN MONTREAL
Causes Great Exeltement-A Railroad OIL

Causes Great Excltsment-A ltnilr0ad ON.
cial's opinion.
MONTREAL, August 2S.-'fhe news OF
President Cleveland's message to Con
gress asking power to enforce retaliation
against Canada caused intense excite
ment in this city. That a severe blow
will be struck at the prosperity OF the
Dominion IL Congress sanctions this
policy OF non-intercourse is admitted by
all. Politicians give it as their opinion
that all Canada could do was to assume
the defensive, pursue her own policy rs
If nothing had happened and await the
time when the American people, par
ticularly those of the Northwestern
States, should grow weary of the con-
fnement of their natural trade, which, it
is predicted, would be but very few
months.
A high official OF the Grand Trunk
Company expressed tho opinion that in
the event Of non.intercourse it would
be very serious TO the Grand Trunk
railroad, and also be very disastrous to
such roads as the Canada Southern and
Michigan Central, which ran through
portions of Ontario. He regarded it
simply stroke policy on the partOf the
President to iniure the Republicans in
Minnesota and Maine, where the effects
OF non-intercourse law would be es-
pecially experienced. Hugh MeLen-
non, a leading grain exporter OF the port,
said that free canals were the only rem
edy. If the United States were TO put
heavy toll on vessels passing through
the $500" canal, the Montreal grain men
might MS well close up. Trade would be
diverted to Buffalo and the St. Law
renee route and the port OF Montreal be
left dependent on Canadian grain.
