THE STAIE OF Trade.

2. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review Of tia BUSINESS
Situation Throughout the Country.
NEW YORK, Jan. 1s.-R. G. Dun s.
Co.'S Review of Trade says:
The practical effects OF the agree
ment Of railroad presidents and bank
ers begin to be better understood. It
is seen that an advance in rates has
already been checked for the distribut-
ing of products. that it decreases the
one difficulty which had beclouded the
horizon, otherwise clear.
The immediate effect in the iron
market is weakening OF prices, and
southern irons are still offered at not
less than similar eastern grades, though
the latter are about ten cents lower
than week ago for foundry grades.
Steel rails can be had at prices equal to
S27 at the mill.
The coal market is also dropping and
there is complaint that rates are cut by
individual operators.
The copper market is rendered stag
nant by the report that the syndicate
holding 145, 900 tons will try to get up q
metal bank" to assume sc, 600 tons
and contracts for two years to come.
The tin market is dull but lead is
firm.
Prices for boots and shoes are ex-
planned by the announcement that eX-
listing shops could supply loo, 900, OO0
people, and having to reduce the out
| put to the wants of IS 600, 600.
The movement of dry goods is greatly
retarded.
The money markets at substantially
all points reporting are well supplied.
The light demand at present for raw
wool or cotton does not prevent firm
ness of prices.
| The wheat speculation has AGAR
tended downward the export from At
lantic parts for six weeks past having
been phenomenally small. Wheat fell
D cents, corn and oats during 1.-The
week.
Pork declined 25 cents per barrel and
lard % cents per 100 pounds.
The butter market was demorallZeC
and cents lower, eggs fell 2 cents
Coffee and cotton are each stronger
with moderate sales.
The treasury has been able to pu
out nearly as much money as 1t has
taken in during the past week having
increased its cash on hand only 5000,
600, the large exports of merchandise
which shows at New York for TIVE
weeks an increase of 20 per cent over
last year, lessened the prospect of golt
exports, and rates for money on cal
are lower at per cent although for
eign exchange is trifle higher than 1
week ago.
The market for stocks has not bee
as much stronger as was expected sine
the meeting of the presidents; on tn
contrary, while the prospect that tn
agreement may be signed is considere,
good, reflections seem to lessen conf
dence in its practical efficiency.
The business failures during the las
seven days number $50, as against SO
last week, and 387 the week previous
for the corresponding week last year tn
| figures were 3l4.

touching letters that were written
with an evident intent to corrupt voters
and requested to know what additional
proof aside from the authorship of such
letter or letters was necessary to estab-
lish q conspiracy and justify an indict-
ment. Judge Woods instructed the
jury that in order to make a case of
conspiracy it would be necessary to
prove that some one received a letter
advising corrupt action, and that they
acted upon the advice so received.
This is regarded as a clean and unqual-
flied dismissal of the Dudley case from
the further consideration of the Jury.

course, and McCallister replied. Nc
Callister accused Oxley of using money
which belonged to the Democratic state
committee in order to defeat regular
Democratic nominee in his own county.
There was a general washing of dirty
linen. McCallister and Pritchard con-
tinued to vote for woodward and other
Republicans all day, hut did not vote
for Maxwell, the regular caucus nomi-
nee.
This prevented an election. 1t is
probable that an agreement will be
made between them and the caucus
Republicans tomorrow by which an
election will be brought about. The
two Republican kickers will be ignored.
1t is understood that Carr has made
proposals to the caucus Republicans to
be received back into grace. Today
Senator Scott, speaking for Carr, made
the announcement on the floor of the
senate that he was a Republican and
would act with the Republicans on all
party questions. This means that he
will vote to unseat the two Democl ats,
who now hold seats fraudulently and
will stand by the gubernatorial and

the same.

KANSAS CITY, Jan. 1S.-Rev. Father
A. M. j. Hynes has had charge of the
Pierce City parish for ten years past,
six years ago number of his congrega-
ton who are Germans, asked Bishop
Hogan, of this CRY, to make a change
and send them a priest of their own
nationality. Bishop Hogan ordered
Father Hynes to MarcelIne, Mo-, but
as large majority of the members of
the Pierce City perish wanted him to
stay he refused to go. After some
quarreling between the bishop and the
priest. the latter went to Rome and
obtained an order from the propaganda
for Bishop Hogan not to interfere with
him or his clerical work in Pierce City.
The quarrel broke out again last
June, when the Bishop ordered Father
Hynes to go to HiggiDsville, and sent
Father David Healths to Pierce City
to take charge of the parish there.
Father Hynes again declined to be
ousted, and nearly all the congrega-
Hogan ordered Father Hynes to APP

ous disobedience. Father Hynes
came here yesterday and went to the
cathedral for trial, but, upon learning
| that the Bishop would not hear the
case and that G. Linnenkamp, vicar
general of st Joseph, would hear it, he
| declined to remain, saying that he
| was cited to appear before the Bishop
| and no one else.
To-day the vicar general heard the
evidences, Father Hynes not being pres
emit, and suspended him for five years
| and as much longer as Bishop Hogan
| thought proper. Previous to the passing
sentence Father Hynes notified the
bishop and vicar general that he had
| appealed the case to the holy see at
Rome. He also preferred charges
| against tine bishop, who, he alleges. is
guilty of perjury, malice, lying and

turned this evening.
