Failures for the Wssk-1hs Financial
Difficulties not 70: Over.

NKw YoRx, Nov. 2S.-The failures Of
the last seven days reported to Dun Rus.
sell number for the United States all; the
corresponding week last year was $40 for
the United States.
In their Weekly Review Of Trade, h.
q. Dun & Co. cay that the past broken
week has net improved the business out
look. The difficulty in obtaining CONNER
ciAl loans increases and other lenders from
the largest to the smallest appear to be in
duced by the recent events to strengthen
themselves. Merchants have grown more
cautious about extending ohlig atoms or
making purchases which can be deferred.
spprehendins that retail buying NAV be cut
down somewhat by the reduced ability Of
some consumers aud by the disposition of
others to eeouomixe in view Of the extern
sively reported advance in prices. Specu-
lstions have been revivins to an unhealthy
extent in some directions on the theory that
when the troubles are over, things will i'm
prove. Money markets are loaded with
increased demands for carrying securities
and products at the time when trade is es-
pecially in need Of more liberal supplies.
At the most interior markets money grows
stringent and the scarcity begins to effect
trade at the important centers though the
volume of business 10 still very large.
The failures reported to Bradstreets
number 2S3 in the United States this week.
against 265 the corresponding week last
wear.

Work Finally Abandoued at Hill
Farm Miro,

ScorrpALE, Pa, Nov. 28.-The work at
the Hill Farm mine has been abandoned,
an experience Tuesday nearly costing the
lives of ten workmen. They had been
making splendid progress in their
task of entering the mine to recover
the bodies Of their fellow workmen when
they reached place where black damp
was abundant. Two workmen were quick
Iy despatched for come brotticing, and on
their return they were much Mortified to see
all Of their ten companions stretched out
on the ground unconscious. The alarm
was given aud the men were carried out of
the mine, many of them in hslf-dyiug
condition. A liberal rubbing revived them,
but some are still ILL.,
The exploring party considered it an ut
ter impossbiltty to proceed any further,
and the hopes of the wives and mothers
are finally dissipated. The Opening to the
main entry was closed up and operations in
definitely suspended. 1t is believed that sll
the bodies of the miners have been ere
mated. Many of the families are in a dis
tressed condition, with the additional ter
ror of winter staring them in the face.

The Irish Catholic hierarchy is unaui-
nous in its opioion that Parnell should re
tire from the position at the head of the
nationalist party. The rules of the church
in Ireland do not desire TO appear as coeic-
ing the Catholic members Of the House of
Commons but their opinion will be pro-
nouuced publicly in the Nationalist.
Parneli's manifesto was issued Friday
afternoon. 1t definitely settles that he will
not voluntarily retire from the leadership
of the Irish Parliamentary party. The
manifesto deals with questions involved at
great length and sets forth why, in his
opinion it would be disastrous to the best
interests Of the party for him to withdraw
at the present time. Psrnell defes his po.
litical opponents and appeals to the people
of Ireland to sustain him in the stand he
has taken.

From March 1, 1889. to October /, 1890.

The Nearly Ruined Sealing Industry.

Prof. H. R. Elliott of the Smithsonian
Institution will present report to Congress
on the seal fur industry. Prof. Elliott, it
is understood. will recommend that the
catch of fur seals at the American rocker
les be suspended for seven years.
This period Of inactivity he con.
siders absolutely necessary for
the preservation of the seals from utter
annihilation. At the present time he ssti-
mates that there are only 100000 seal in
American waters. The continued dspre-
da,ions upon them by pirates and other
wise has reduced the number 90 much that
hardly sufficient number remain for breed
ing purposes. The utmost care he consid-
ers necessary to preserve the few that
remsio, or else the magnificent industry
which was purchased from Russia with the
Alssks cession will become extinct.
IL was on account of Prof. Elliotts
knowledge of the fur seal industry that he
was designated by Congress to visit Alaska
and make a report on the subject. The
agents of the fur seal companies who enj
ed the privileges about the islands of St.
George and St. Paul made representations
that that there were one million seal in the
American rookeries. Other reports placed
the number at SOC. 900, and still others at a
lesser number. All these reports. msde by
parties more or less interested, induced
Congress to send Prof. Elliott to Alaskan
waters, and his report is that rot over l00,-
900 seal have survived the war of extermi-
nation.
