STATE OF TRADE.

A Large Volume of Transactions With Gen
ersl Complaint OF Dullness - Railroad
Traffic Large In the Iron
Market.
NEW YORK, January 25.-R. G. Dun &
Co. g weekly review Of trade says:
Tie state of trade is unusually perpleG-
ing, for, with general complaint OF dull
ness, there are evidences that the volume
of transactions is large. The payments
through banks last week were 25 per cent.
larger than for the corresponding week last
year at New York, and l6 per cent. larger
at all ether cties.
Railroad earnings also show that traffic
is large. The demand for money is sufii-
GENTLY sctive at nearly all interior points
to indicate that large business is in pro-
gress. Yet il is undenisble that the pre-
yailing temper is one Of disappointment at
the reeult Of business since the new year
began and this is not wholly eXplainded by
the steadily declining prices OF products.
At Southern points, after some depres-
sion trade appears to be improving. In
the Northwest trade il fully equal TO that
of last year, and at some points clearly
larger. The supply Of money seems 70 be
everywhere ample for legitimate demand.
There are no indications Of general un-
soundness of oyerstraining OF commercial
credits. In the great iron industry, con-
sumption for all other than railroad pur-
poses appears to be larger than ever, but
there ia serious disturbance.
In consequence, the Iron Age, reports a
general weakening" which there is
no blinking al, - ana holds that furnaces
which cannot face without serious loss
decline of fully 81 from present prices,
NAV wisely suspend production. At West
ern points, Southern iron Is offered at
prices equivalent to Sl2 at Birmingham,
which is considered equal TO Sl7 for Penn
sylvania iron, and large sales are reported
al prices below published quotations.
4 decline in the price Of coke IL con-
sidered probable, and the anthracite coal
market continues weak. The decline in
wheat continues, the price having fallen
q cents fer the week. As the prices
reachad this week 93l 10 93s cents, there
has heen some buying for export, though
not as yet for Great Britain. Corn has
fallen cent and oats are lower. Pork
products have also declined, mess about 80
cent per barrel, lard 90 cents, and hogs 10
cents per 100 pounds There is little ac-
tiyity in groceries, but the sugar market
favors halders. The general average OF
prices has fallen .0S of one per cent for the
week.
The supply of money here increases both
by remittances from tho interior and by
excess Of Treasury disbursements over re-
ceipts, which reached Sl,7OO,O 900 for the
week.
The business failures number 342
against total Of 2S7 last week, and 35l
the week previous. For the corresponding
week Of last year the figures were 2G9.

Remarkable Editorials In the German
Papers of the Metropolis,

remarkable Editorials In the German
Papers of the Metropolis,
New YORK, January 25.-Some re-
markable editorials appeared in the lead
ing German papers Of this city yesterday
in reference to the Samoan sffair.
The Staats-Zatung, speaking of Senator
Sherman's proposition in regard to allott-
ing $500, 600 and 5000 600 in this emer-
genoy SAYS that it would occasion no sur
prise Then it goes on to say 1t will cost
half million dollars TO send man-of-war
to Samoa, and reminds American states
men that nothing hss been done 10 i'm
prove the harbor of Pango-Pango during
the eleven years it has been in their pos
session.
"The latest report" " it continues, "thst
the German Consulate in Apis has been
destroyed by fire, is of serious moment.
Vice Consul Blackjack reports that il was
an accident, bat it is rot impossible that
another version OF the affair may come
from another eource, and this would be OF
grave consequence. because in this country
people ore not inclined 10 admit that any
German complaint is justified, and in view
OF such a sentiment, unreasonable as 1t
may be, the outlook, should new cOmpli'
cations arise, would not be favorable y
The article concludes by limiting that the
enthusiasm OF American statesmen would
rapidly diminish if they were informed by
cable that Germany mad decided 10 60
hand in hand with Great Britain in re-
gsrd to the Samoan affair.
The article in the Nelc Yorker Zeitun5
begins by lamenting the want Of discre-
ton in the matter shown by editors Of
American papers, and by insisting that il
these sensational reports were proper ly
sifted nothing would remain bat attacks
on German brutality and denunciat:or
of Blsmsrck's arrogance. I'VE are toC
much accustomed in this country" h'
continues, ''to think that we are in pO
sition which does not really exist, and un
der the influence of this illusion we iusult
the whole world" 1t gives ss an ex
ample. the action Of the United States
Government in regard to the Canadi
an Fishery question. Then it says, in
view Of the present variance with Ger
many that though it is very improbable
that any serious result will follow, it NIGH
be well if the American Government tool
some trouble TO put the coast defenses il
good order, 70 as not to be wholly unpre
pared in case OF an attack by irst-cas9
naval power"
In similar strain is the article in th'
Neic Yorker Her0d. The editorial in The
Voiks-Zeitung, which is the organ Of the
German Socialists aud workiDgmeD, con.
tains a succinct history of the United
States and Germany's relations with Sa-
moa, and in regard to the present compll'
cation says that from a proper standpoint
they are not worth consideration.

CHARLESTON, January 25.-COl. Robert
White has been hers since yesterday, pre-
pairing to take an appeal to the Supreme
Court, from Judge Campbsll's order dis
solving the Injunction against the Wheel
ing Qerrymander ordinance. The result Of
the election has completely upset the
Coloners plans. OF course he expected q
victory, but did not expect that il would
he quite so overwhelming In view OF the
fact. that the Democrats carried everything
in sight, the Colonel thinks he will let the
gerrymarder ordinance stand until Demo
cratic council sees dt TO recall it. That
body will dispose Of it more quickly and
eff.c.ually than the courts can. There will
be no appeal taken to the Supreme court.
The Ohio county Democrats here were the
subjects of many congratulations, at the
glorious victory achieved By their brethren
al home. A great deal of interest was ta-
ken in the result, by politicians from every
section of the State.

CULPEPPER, VA, January 25.-SOme
time ago dancing school attended by a
large number OF ladies and gentlemen was
established here. A few nights ago when
the sssemblsge broke up they found the
doors so securely fastened from the out

slide down the lightning rod from the
window and unfaaten the door. Lat
night before the school met, the floor was
sprinkled with fine red pepper. This soon
filed the eyes Of the dancers when they
began 20 move. A rush was made for the
door, which was found to be fastened

MURDER AT STEUBENVILLE.

A Negro Loans a White Man Revolver
and the white Man shoots Him TO Death
With 1t.
Yesterday morning about hslf-past ten
O'Clock, James Ritson, white man, and a
coal miner by occupation, put in an ap'
pearance st the saloon of Bill Walker, q
notorious negro dive on North Third street,
Steubenville, and called up the drinks for
the house. When he came to pay the bill
he had no money, but claimed he had just
given a ten dollar bill in payment for
drinks at the saloon of Joe Brinkman, on
lower Market street, and that he had not
been given the change. He asked Walker
to loan him q revolver 80 that he could 30
back to BrinkmRn's and force a settle
ment, but Walker said he did not have
any. Ritson then asked Archie Trigg, a
coloIed boardeT in the house, for pistol,
and Trigg went up stairs to his room and,
soon returning, handed revolver to Bit
son. The two men then started out ofthe
door together, with the avowed intention
of going down to Briukman's, Riteon hold
ing the revolver in his hand, but sud
denly he wheeled around, jerked another
revolver from his hip pocket, and with the
two weapons opened fire on Trigg, firing
seven shots into his body at short range,
killing him instantly. He then banded
the revolver over to bystander and gave
himself up to Marshal Scott, who just then
appeared upon the scene, and was taken to
the lookup.
The murdered man came TO Steuhenyille
some time ago from Virginis, and alter
nstely went under the names Of Archie
Trigg, Archie Mack and John Mack, but
psrties who claim to have known him III
timattly say that the first is his true name.
He was considerable OF on athlete, and on
New Years night engaged in a wrestling
match at Mettenberger's saloon, Steuben-
vile, with Jess Clark, of Pittsburg, the
stakes being 500 side, Clark being the
winner.
There seems to have been no cause what
ever for the murder, rs the two men were
apparently on the best of terme, and it can
only be ascribed TO the fact that Ritson had
been out ell night drinking, and at the
time was crazy drunk. RitsOn is a married
man, his wife being daughter of John
Oliver, who keeps a saloon on the corner
of Sixth and South streets, Steubenville.
