DUN'S WEEKLY REVIEW.
The Trade Situation Generally Good

The Trade Situation Generally Good
Money High.
r. G.. Dun s. Co. S weekly review of trade
says:
The signs of monetary disturbance which
were noticed in previous reviews were not
misleading At Philadelphia money was
tight, at Chicago in strong demand, at ST.
Louis unusually scarce at to per cent,
at New Orleans tightening, at Denver and
St. Paul in good demand, and at Milwaukee
more active at per cent, firm at Kansas
City, and rather tight at Detroit at per
cent. The obvious and only sufficient relief
is the liquidation of money speculatiOns in
stocks, in wheat, corn, oats, cotton, leather,
hides, coffee, WOOL and especially in silver
bullion, which have locked up enormous
sums. In addition the enormous imports,
intended to anticipate the pending tariff
bill, have virtually locked up for an 1ndeh-
mite time many millions paid for goods and
in duties on them. The volume of legiti-
mate business throughout the country con-
tinues large, exceeding that of last year by
ten per cent. outside of New York, and the
desire to market products quickly as prices
rise causes greater demand for currency
from the country than usual. During the
last week the Treasury has paid out only
SCI, 900 more than it has taken In.

The FIVE hundred or eight hundred peo-
pie who live in eastern Arapahoe County,
Colo. near the Kansas line; are in state
bordering on starvation. A committee
representing the settlers is in Denver seek
ing aid of the County Commissioners.
Crops are an absolute failure this year,
and as the country is new, the first
settlement having been made only three
years ago, the people have no resources and
they find winter approaching without any
prospect of pulling through it alive without
assistance. The people now are barely sub
sisting, and it is the experience of cattle
men who occupied the county with their
herds previous to the farmers coming in
there that no country is more rigorous than
this section of the plains.

tral Must Fight 1t Out
There will be no general strike ordered on
the New York Central Road and the other
Vanderbilt lines by the Supreme Council of
the United Order of Railway Employees.
Such is the decision that has been reached
in Terre Haute by that body after a con-
ference lasting several days. Sympathy in
abundance is rendered the knights of Labor
in its fight in support of organized labor, as
Mr.. POwderly states the case to be, but the
constitution of the federation will not per-
init strike to be ordered on the hypothet-
icaI case presented. The report issued by the
Supreme Council disposes of federation help
to the Knights by way of a sympathetic
strike, and the great interest now attaches
20 the probable offer of financial assistance.
The whole matter regarding this cOntin-
gency is left with Grand Master Sargent,
and if occasion arises for financial help to
come from the federation, it is he alone who
has the power to order call Under the
strong expressions made in the manifesto it
Is regarded as likely that financial assist
ance will be forthcoming if the situation
requires it. Just how far this offer of as
sistance, if it really comes to that, on the
part of the federation will involve the
federation and the New York Central
system is a question which time alone
can answer, and it was probably due to
that fact that the Supreme Council rele-
gated this matter of financial assistance
TO the future. 1t was a fact as we'll known
TO Mr.. Sargent and his colleagues as it was
TO the general public that Mr.. Arthur, the
chief of the engineers, was and is hostile to
the strike on the Central system, and that
Arthur and Powderly are not dwelling to-
gether in harmony. If the Federation
started a strike Mr.. Sargent knew that he
could not command the support of the en-
gineers. Since this conference has been
held members of the Council have not hest
tated to denounce Arthur as being too
friendly with the railroads.

WHEAT ON THE MOVE.
4 Movas Tn to s1.oe 10 a BusheI.

1t Moves Up TO $1.O9 LIZ Bushel.
There was a scene of excitement on the
Chicago Board of Trade when wheat for De-
cember delivery went up to S1.091a.
Early, before the shutters OF the board
had been taken down and the floor had been
swept out, the curbstone trading put the
price of bushel of wheat at S1.05B. When
business actually commenced it opened at
S1O5s4, but before the day was done the
price was $1,000, which is a comfortable
sized rise for the meek and lowly wheat
which in days not long gone by had been
humping along in the neighbOrhood Of so
cents. So far as anybody could tell there
wasn't any corner or speculative combina-
ton to force up prices
G. B. Irwin said: ''It was the news from
North Dakota that did,it Frost is reported
there. At first blush it would seem that
frost couldn't do any harm now-in fact,
heard man say that he had just been up
there and they were harvesting it
must be remembered that the late planted
wheat is not yet ripe, and that might be
pretty badly hurt"
..Neyer has there been such season as
this for thirty years. said r. w. Durham.
''There have been short wheat crops,
short potato crops ana all that put
when one crop has been scanty an
other has been large. But this
year everything that grows out Of the
ground that you can eat is short We have
a population, say, of $4,000, 900 east of the
Rockies. Each person, it is estimated, con-
sumes four and half bushels of wheat per
annum. That figures out 279, 600, 900 bushels.
Allow SO, 600, 900 bushels for seeding and we
have 800, OOO, O0OI bushel as the amount re-
quired. The estimates for this years crop
hardly run over 4O0,OOO,000 bushels-some
say 391 200, 900. Let's split the difference and
make it 395, 900, 900. Take out the seed and
VIC have left 345,OOO,0OO bushels, which
leaves us 16, 1000, 900 for export. Why, that
amount isn't enough for the cOastwise trade
to Cuba the West Indies, South America,
Mexico, Nova Scotia and the like. Tell you
what, along next spring good wheat will be
as scarce as hens teeth, and may be
scarcer''
''What'H folks eat?"
''High-priced wheat. There won't be any
potatoes, or onions, or apples, or fruit of any
kind, and they'll all have to live on bread.
Corn will go up in price, too, as you can see
by to-dayS markets."

The Number of Poop 9 in Washington and

The result of the official count of the State
of Washington has been given out by the
Census Bureau. The schedules in two Su
pervisors' districts, however, have not been
received. The population of the State ex-
elusive of these is given as 1885, The
missing districts will probably increase this
number to about BAG, 900. The census Office
announces the result of the count of the
population of a number of cities as
follows: Milwaukee, 203, 979, increase in ten
years IS, 1892, or 76.47 per cent; Allegheny
City, Pa, 1O4, 1867, increase in ten years
25,2S5, or 33.41 per cent; Seattle, WASH,
43, 914, increase 4O,381; Tacoma, Wash, 3d.
85S, increase $780, Emporia, Kan, 1850,
increase 1910, or 63-03 per cent; Arkansas
City, Kan, 1854, increase 7,342; Fort Scott,
Kan, 1887, increase 6,465, or 120.35 per
cent. The census for New Mexico
places the population at 152, 150, a gain
of 25 per cent. 1t is alleged on all sides that
the work has not been efficiently performed.
From all the prominent towns in the Terri
tory come complaints of omissions In
Santa Fe County alone the returns are fully
1000 below what they should be, whole
families having been overlooked by the
enumerators. Thus it is not unreasonable
to estimate that the actual population of
New Mexico is 1T0, 900.

is being made to utilize it. The scheme is

THE SECOND STATE IN THE UNION.
Pennsylvania Can Still Lay Claim to That
Distinction.


Distinction.
Advices received from Washington say
some compensation for the loss of the second
city in the Union for Pennsylvania is the
fact, now fully ascertained, that it still
holds firm grip on the second place in the
sisterhood of States in population and
wealth. Pennsylvania made the largest
actual gain in the number of it's people, in
creasing its population by over a million.
Next comes New York, with an increase
of over 900, 900, and then Illinois, with
a gain of between ZOO and 100000.
Ohio only increased by 400, 900. There are
eight States whose respective populations
are over 1900, 000-New York has over
5000, 900, Pennsylvania over 100000, and
Illinois and Ohio both nearly 100000.
There are seventeen States that have
each less than 1000, 900, and the popu-
lation of all these seventeen States taken
together does not quite equal that OF
the State of New York. 1t is figured out
that Pennsylvania will lose one Congress-
man in the next apportionment from pres
emit appearances, but this is very doubtful,
as her population is so large that any re-
apportionment scheme based upon the pres
emit membership of the House is likely to
show Pennsylvania holding her own at least

close forecast of the probable amount of the

will be very close to 15,OO0,0O0 pounds, while

the raisin crop Of last year, which, includ-
ing dried grapes and raisins in sacks. was
equivalent to 100000 boxes. The prices

INJURED BY FROsTs
Wheat in Some Parts of the Northwest
Badly Damaged.

A killing frost has fallen over the north
ern portion of Minnesota and part of Da-
l1ota, extending all through Manitoba. At
Minnedosa, temperature of 2S degrees
was recorded, with 30 at St. Vincent and
still lower at points through the North
west Territory Reports from the Saskatche-
wan Valley say the late wheat is badly
damaged, but the extent is not known.
Very little wheat is injured in Minne-
sofa or Dakota, as all of it is cut.
The wheat in stacks will not be injured.
All immature crops over the territory
named have undoubtedly been killed, and
this will include little corn in the north
ern portions. The frost line extended as far
south as Moorhead and Fargo. and to the
westward dipped south as faS as Huron, 5.
