Weekly Trade Review.


New YORK, August 11.-R. G. Dun Co. 3
weekly review of trade says:
Less favorable crop prospects, closer
money markets an6 further delay in action
on the tariff bill in the senate. have increased
the uncertainty, which retards business. In
spite of a sharp advance in wheat, corn, oats,
oil and coffee, the general average of prices
for commodities is shade lower than q week
ago. The present state of trade throughout
the country appears satisfactory for the sea-
son, and reports are almost uniformly con-
fident IN tone.
Boston notes but little present change, but
believe in great activity in the fall. Wool is
more freely bought. Cotton goods move
freely, and tho suspension in print cloth
works is having the desired effect.
Philadelphia notes no improvement in
wool and scanty buying Of cotton, lower
prices being awaited.
Chicago reports smaller receipts than last
year Of wheat, -four and corn, a heavy de-
crease in cheese, but larger movement of
cattle and hogs, because of fear as to the
corn crop. Wool receipts fell of a third,
and hides quarter, while sales of dry goods
and clothing are larger than last year, with
prompt collections.
st. Louis notes strong trade in nearly all
lines: Kansas City fair trade for the season:

waukee improvement.
The crop outlook is on the whole less
promising. The speculative news gatherers
are making most of the damage to wheat
and corn. Wheat has risen 81 cents,
With sales of 2sOOO 900 bushels: corn 81
cents, with sales of 100000 bushels, and
oats cents, while pork, hogs and cotton are
unchanged.
The business failures occurring through
out the country during the last seven days,
number 2O6, as compared with 1S9 Last
week. For the corresponding week OF Last
year The figures were 201.

Along the Union Pacific,

Bos1oS, August 7.-Genera. Traffic Mana
ger Mellen, of the Union Pacific road, is in
town. He says that the prospects of the
Union Pacific road in Texas, in connection
with the Denver, Texas d Fort Worth, are
very encouraging. and the Oregon railway
and navigation lines will have large busi-
ness, as the crops in Washington and Oregon
now harvested, are abundant. He says the
prospects are poor for corn crop in Kan
sas and Nebraska. and speaks in gloomy
terms of the immediate future of the new
states Idaho, Wyoming and Montana. The
purchase of the st. Louis & San Francisco
railroad by the Atchison he considers very
wise move, and says the silver legislation
will be very beneficial to the territory served
by the Union Pacific.

The Boss Strike.

New YORK, August 1.-THE rumblings of
an expected storm among the thousands of
employees ofthe New York Central and Van
derbilt lines, owing to the discharge of
Knights of Labor and Brotherhood men,
broke out like flash from clear sky. All
the length of the Central was tied up.
Trains were left by the crews where they
stood. When the order came two passenger
trains were left at Eighty sixth street, in the
tunnel. one going in each direction. The
latest report is that the LkBe Shore is tied up
throughout its length, as well as the New
York and IL New Haven railroad. Great
throngs of people are crowded into the Grand
Central depot trying to have tickets changed,
and asking all manner of questions. No one
seems to know how it was, or who ordered
the strike. Even ]. j. Holland, the labor
leader, denied that he knew who ordered it,
or when it was ordered.
Vice President Webb, of the New York
Central, on being interviewed, said that the
strike extended only to West Albany.
All men who went out from the employ of
the road, he said, would be promptly dis
charged. Those men who remained true to
the company would be well taken care of,
and employees be protected, as well as all
the men who came to work for the road.
The road would take on all good men who
applied for work, as far as they were needed
to fill the places of the deserters, and they
would be guaranteed against all harm as
we'll. With great emphasis the vice presi-
dent announced that he would fight the
strikers to the bitter end. He said that the
new set of demands he had never seen and
knew nothing whatever about. In effect
these demands are for a minimum days
wages of $1.5O, station agents to receive an
increase of S. month; men in the yards at
Troy and Green Island shall receive the same
compensation as at Schenectady and East
Albany; all fremen on six-wheel connected
engines shall receive 24 cents per mile: all
engineers on the same, 4 cents; four wheel
engine engineers, 81 cents per mile; firemen,
2 cents per mile; for all men, over time,
double pay. Mr.. Webb announced that the
fast mail had pulled out of the depot with
four mails, but no passengers were attached
to the tram. The vice president further an
nounced that no attempt would be made
TO run any trains. Everything would be left
at a standstill, just where the men left.
There are no means to get to Albany or New
England. But the opening up of the great
avenues of trade would soon be begun.
1t is announced that the vice president will
give out an official statement of the roads
position ia the present controversy, that the
people of the country may Judge who is right
and who is wrong.

Anti-Lottery Convention.

BATON ROUGE, La, August IA state
convention of the anti-lottery league has is
sued an address to the people of the United
States. 1t first gives history of this gigan-
! tic swindle from its inception to the present
| time. telling how it's first capital of million
dollars had advanced from $35 share to
| 81, 200 share, besides paying annual divi-
dends of 80 to 100 per cent. from one-half of
the net earnings; the other half belonging to
the lessees.
The address then concludes as follows:
If the faint of a state organized crime
could be confined within the limits of the
organizing state, the evil might be local and
the ground of complaint local, but we pro-
test that it is against the fundamental prin-
ciples of this union and in violation of the
| sacred sisterhoOd of the states, that one of
their number should for pittance of reve-
nue. allow a piratical corporation to prey
upon the ignorance, the creduality and the
cupidity of the citizens of all the other states.
If any state is so shameless thus to use its at
present untrammelled power. 1t ought to be.
and must be restrained by the united power
of the American people.
10 that end We recommend the immediate
adoption OF an amendment to the federal
constitution prohibiting any state from char
tering or licensing any lottery or gift prize,
and abOlishing those already established,
and giving congress the power to enforce the
prohibition by appropriate legislation.
A proposition to amend the constitution,
covering all the ground except in the aboli.
ton of existing lotteries, is now before COM
mittee of the United States senate, having
been introduced by Senator Blair, of New
Hampshire. The legislation specially recon-
mended by the president and postmaster
general to exclude lottery business and ad-
vertisements from the mails and express
companies is aimed in the right direction,
and We ask its speedy adoption.
We ask that all candidates of all parties of
the legislatures of the various states be re-
quired to pledge themselves to vote for the
amendment proposed by congress to the
constitution of the United States prohibiting
and abolishing state lotteries.
All this We ask in the name of our common
citizenship of this republic, and in behalf of
public honor, the public interest, and the
public and private welfare of the common
wealth of states.
We further request the free press to give
this address the widest possible publication.

Central American Anarchy.

New YORK, August IA special dispatch
from the city of Guatemala says: Late last
night the superintendent of the Guatemala
Central railroad received orders to keep
special train constantly under steam in Or
der to proceed to the port of San Jose sub
ject to the disposal of President Barrillas.
It is avered that the president is going to flee
from the country. The train was got ready,
when the government sent squad of q COM
pany of soldiers to keep watch over it, but
the purpose of the soldiers presence was not
explained to the superintendent of the road,
who became alarmed at tho governments
action in sending troops to the cOmpany's
premises, which is American property. He
went at once, though late at night, to the
American legation, but Minister Miner was
away. He then used the railroad telegraph
to the port of San Jose and communicated
with the commander of the United States
man-of- war, Thetis, anchored off the port,
requesting him to send protection for the
railroad property and its employees. An an
swer came Immediately from the commander
of the Thetis that he would send one of his
officers up to Guatemala to reconnOitre and
an armed force from his vessel unless spe-
cially requested to do so by the American
minister.
The officer arrived and is at the railroad
station. All the foreigners have appealed tO
their legations for protection in view of the
impending cricis. The latest ruInor is that
Barillas had appealed TO the diplomatic corps
not now to arbitrate in the Salvador matter,
but to protect and sustain his government.
News has just been received here of the re-
ported arrival of British man-of- war at
San Jose.
This city has the aspect of a church yard.
At midnight it is as silent as the grave, and
the people have to keep within their houses,
not knowing what moment the cannon's roar
may break the silence. Provisions are very
scarce and very dear, and the municipal
market is deserted by nearly all the women
who are accustomed to sell their wares.
