are no signs that the public can observe
that confirm these reports. The railroad
people claim that they are moving tEelr
trains with regularity.
The situation at Port Richmond is prac.
;ically unchanged, and the end OF the
strike appeals to bs as Tar on az ever. A
considerable quantity Of coal was received
from the mines, aud stored along the
wharyes at that point.
The scarcity of coal in the city yards
has already had an influence on the price
of that commodity, and Just at present

REVIEW OF BUSINESS.
K. q Dun &CO.' 5 REPORT OF THE COUNTRY )
TRADE DURING THE WEEK PAST
Business Seriously Aae2ted by tie Reading Strike.
The Claims Of the Strkers-A Slight De-
cline in Some Branches cf Trade.
Favorable Prospects.

New YORK, January 6.-R. &. Dun q
Co. in their weekly trade review say: The
past broken week has not been one Of
great activity, and the year opens with
some reaction in most markets. The
Reading strike has become more serious
than Was expected. The miners com
mittee claims $4,000 miners and
Is, 900 railroad men are out, and
though the statement is plainly eNagger-
as to railway hands. The suspension OF
the mining appears nearly "a complete in
the Reading as in the Lehigh regions. In
spite Of December's large output stocks at
tide are low, and the stoppages of the sup
ply of coal threatens loss to some manu-
featuring works.
There has been bad break in copper
stocks abroad with quick reaction, follow.
ed by heavy failures and panic at Paris.
Oil mounted to 81 and Wednesday sud
denly suddenly broke TO 92t, and since
has risen again. Pork and lard declined
little, cotton sixteenth. Coffee is dcmor-
allied with no spot quotations and a loss
of nearly one cent in options Breadstnils
have been weaker, though corn is still
fraction above last weeks prices.
Stocks have not advanced. An increased
demand for good bonds appears but the
share market has been weakened by west
ern rate wars, which spread and grow more
bitter, and by the strike of the coal miners.
The year opens with fewer failures that
anticipated and with tair business for the
| season. At all points the money markets
are generally easier.
Next to the iron industry, which hesi-
tateS woOlen manufacture seems to have
the most uncertainty Raw material de-
Clined about one cent III December, and
two TO three cents since July, though
coarse wool yields least, and the largest
decline has been in fine fleece Estimates
of the crop vary widely. The cotton man
ufacture is exceptionally prosperous. The
window glass business IL prosperous with
on advance OF 80 per cent. in prices over
last year
Foreign trade continues large But for
the miners strike and threats of the cot
ton spiDners the outlook would be more
favorable than for many weeks past
Business failures in the last seven days

And the Campbell-Arbuckle Suit will be
Argued Monday.
New YORK, January 6.-The third day
of the proceedings in the Campbell
buckle breach OF promise suit, opened to.
dag with crowded court room. The
prosecution finished this morning, and
Mr.. Parsons said that the defense woulC!
not occupy much time. Miss Campbell
took her seat in the witness chair, and
Mr.. Parsons resumed his cToss.eXamIna-
ton. Mr.. Parsons asked her if she had Il
letter written at the time she became dis,
trustful. She answered that she could not
produce any one letter, but that the entire
correspondence made her distrustiul. AZ
ter some further examination, during
which nothing interesting was developed,
the witness was excused.
John f. Parsons then made a motion for
nOn-suit, on the ground that there was no
evidence to show breach of promise OF
marriage The defendant had not refused
to marry her. Judge Beach denied the
motion, holding the breach might be in
ierred from non-rerformanCe.
On opening for the defense Mr.. Parsons
said that Mr.. Arbuckle had been lsviRg,
kind and affectiOnate TO the last. While
he was on A sick bed she was consulting
lawyers about the case Now che wants
money instead of Mr.. Arbuckle and his
love. 1t had been said that the suit had
for its object the vindication of the plain
tins reputation. But he had nothing to
say against the character of the plaintiff
Several witnesses for the defense were
then examined in reference to Arbuckle's
illness and his having been called to leave
the city on account of i'll health. Other
letters written by the defendant were
read, but they contained nothing of inter
est outside of the NJ. X. q and expires.
sions, After the recess the counsel en-
nOunccd that the case was closed. Ar
rangements will be made on Monday.

The adoption tonight o.. the following res
olutions by the Buckeye Republican Club;
RcSOir5d, That the Buckeye Republican
Club learns with disgust and indignation
of the action Of the nine Republican Sena-
tors in the Ohio Senate who, after partici-
pating III the caucus of the Republicans,
hGltcd the nominations of that caucus and
voted lUr Democrats and Mugwumps.
R,'oI,d tRGdcr, That the Hon. Thomas
f. Cowgirl, in acting with the Democrats
in organizing the Senate, did not represent
the l;spubliCan,sm of Clarke county.
Cowgill represents this Clarke and
Champaign counties. Clarke county has a
majority in the Senatorial Convention and
dictates nominations. There was opposi-
ton to Cowgirl before he was nominated,
but to prevent iactional differences he was
allowed TO 90 through without opposition.
Leaders OF the Republican party regret
this action and say he shall not have a sec
Ond term.

Press Comments on the Committee
Appointments,

NEW YORK, January Ga Washington
special says: Chairman Mills, OF the Com
mttee of Ways and Means, says that he
will call the committee together without
delay, and will proceed at once to the
consideration and formulation Of tariff
reform bill, having in view revenue reduc-
tion as well II do not think, " said he,
that il will be necessary to allow any
prOtractGd hearings of manufacturers or
Others interested in this class OF legislation.
We have ample material ON hand of that
character, from which source all necessary
information may be obtained. These hear
ings, if granted, will only cause delay.
The condition OF the country and the treas
ury is such that it requires immediate
action upon the question OF reduction of
revenue. The President asks it, and the
Secretary of the Treasury urges it, and ]
shall do all | can to carry ont their
wishes
The chairman added somewhat emphat-
ically, "If any effort should be made to
defeat he measure which We think will
cover the ground, the parties engaged in 1t
will suffer. "
THE SPEAKERS WORK.
la regard 10 the committees of the
HOase the Times says Considering how
long he has been about it the work of the
Speaker cannot be said tO he very well
done, and its outcome in legislation can
not be looked forward to with much hope
tuness. The placing Of Mr.. Randall AT
the head of the Appropriations Committee
may have been inevitable but il wa very
unfortunate The more important COM
mIttees are fairly conservative and are not
likely to present any very extreme action,
except iii the case OF the PENSIONS Com
mittee and the Committee on the Reform
Of the Civil Service. The naming Of
"Archien Bliss as chairman OF the former
is almost scandalOus. The craftsmanship
OF the Committee on Civil Service Reform
is given to Mr.. Clements, an ay0wed op-
ponent OF the law, who reported in the
last Congress in favor of its repeal. The
course OF the Speaker IN this matter is in
sxplicable, and though it may lead to no
positive mischief, may easily prevent leg
islation that is needed"
