THE STATE OF TRADE.
Advanced Prices in the Iron Marke

Advanced Prices in the Iron Market
Increase in Cereal Shipments.
Bradstreet's New York; Estate of
Trade,' says: Special kilograms point
to only moderate degree of ss5ivity
in general trade throughout the coun
try. The gross earnings OF $40 railroads
for October and for ten months show
for the month gain of 1874 per cent. over
that of October, 1888, and for the ten
months an increase of 1914 per cent. with
an increase of 1.8 per cent. in the aggre-
gate mileage. Buyers of crude iron are
absorbing at full prices all of the 30, 900
tons weekly additional produc-
ton noted within five months and
in many instances are buying for future
delivery. bessemer pig-iron is in extra
ordinary demand. Exports of wheat (and
flour rs wheat, both coasts, for the SIX
days en- ing yesterday aggregate 1851, -
$40 bushels, as against 2,131, 334 in the
previous week and 1859, 6I8 bushels in the
like week last year. The total shipped
abroad from July to date is 80, Y57, 300
bushels, as against 43, $50, 900 in the like
portion Of 1888 and 81, 2f3, 900 in 1887.
The bulk of the increased movement is
from San Francisco, Baltimore and New
York. Business failures reported number
217 in the United States this week, against
24S last week and 178 this week last year.
The total of failures in the Unired States
from Jan. to date is 9,S4s, against 8, $40

END OF A NOTABLE TRIP.
The Pan-American Delegates Arrive a
the CAPITAL in Good Shane.

The Pan-American Delegates Arrive at
the Capital in Good Shape.
Washington dispatch: Just forty two
days after the morning of Oct. 3, when
the special train bearing the International
American excursion party pulled out of
Washington, the same train, headed by
the locomotive which had drawn it nearly
5000 miles, rolled triumphantly into the
Capital city and drew up at the station,
having successfully completed the most in
teresting and, from railroad standpoint,
the most extensive trip ever undertaken
by one train.
1t was planned that instead of taking
the more direct southern route from
Philadelphia to Washington, the train
should run down by way of Harrisburg,
so that tho delegates might see the
beautiful Susquehanna valley and the
rich farming lands of that part of Penn
sylvania. The plan was followed, but
unfortunately the country was not seen
at its best, as the lowering skies and the
heavy, driving rains confined the land
scape within narrow bounds.
The big locomotive, weighing 81, 900
pounds drew the entire train over every
foot of the 5, S25 miles, and came to full
stop in the station as fresh and as power
full as when it steamed out the morning of
Oct. 3 No record for speed was made or
broken but record for continuous pro-
gross has been established by the locomo-
tive which is unequaled in railroad history.
1t is the general rule of railroad manage
ment that no passenger locomotive draw
ing frst-class train shall run a greater
distance than 100 or $50 miles without
being changed. Yet this locomotive has
on several occasions covered 800 miles in
good schedule time, and on the run from
Omaha to st. Louis it performed the un-
excelled feat of making 467 miles in
al ohtean hours
