CHEERING PROSPECTS.
The Volume ofTrade this Month Unusual
~ Large.

NEW YORK. June Pr. G.. Dun 81
Co.'S weekly review Of trade says:
While the volume OF trade. as indica-
ted by special reports, by bank eN-
changes at interior cities, and by ral-
road earnings, continues larger than in
the same month Of any previous year.
the prospect for the future is rendered
less satisfactory by Industrial hesitation
and by doubt Ia regard 10 the none
tary outlook. Industrial hesitation re-
suits from the delay OF legislation.
and increased uncertainty regarding the
outcome. Wool Is distinctly weaker in
the interior and al Eastern markets,
and a disposition Is shown 10 meet the
needs OF manufacturers. This unccr-
tainty also affects estimates Of The fu-
ture demand for iron, and 80 continued
Of new furnaces weakens that
market. Large transactions 10 structu-
raj iron aud rails have been closed, but
without Strengthening prices
Wheat has fallen 1kc, with better
news from the Northwest, and oats tlc.
and lard and hogs are a shade weaker.
Coffee Is steady. but oil has declined
3 3-5c. Raw sugar IS l-lG and crushed
&c lower. and further concession ON re-
fined are expected. The general level
OF prices is lower in part, because Of rc-
action from the many speculations which
the prospect Of unlimited silver coinage
engendered.
Business at other cities Is maintained
for the season, and the exceedingly con-
fined tone prevailing does not at all
abate. II there are possibilities Of dis
appointment, they do not seem 10 be-
realized as yet Boston notes good de-
mand and higher prices FOR cotton and
leather goods, demand for lumb0r. and
large receipts OF wool, which tend
TO weaken the market. AT Philadel-
phia, coal Is dull. Chicago cOntiu-
ues couiident Of a large and profit
table fall trade. No change at Pitts
burg, except that while iron mills are
fairly employed. rails are 81 lower and
glass works are closing down for the
season.
The business failures occurring
throughout the country during the last
seven days number 2O2, as compared
with l99 last week. For the CORES

one OF the first places where this law
should be carried out. If it cost S15,-
OOO, 600 they would see it carried out in
the North, and every dollar wrung from
the Western farmers would be the seed
of angry Republican votes.
This bill made slaves of men to FEEDER
al officeholders. Our foreiathers had
brought on the Revolutionary War and
had separated from Great Britain be-
cause they did not believe in taxation
without representation. He warned
Congress that the time might
come when legislation, depriving the
people of representation, would drive
them to another revolt for the same
principle Loud applause on the Dem
ocratic side.
Mr.. Kennedy, of Ohio, said that 1t
was idle to say that the majority has
ruled in this country, and that fact was
a splendid illustration of the patience
and forbearance of the people. When
it was considered that the ballot box
had been trampled under for the purpose
Of defeating the majority of the people
in exercise of their constitutional right.
All pretense that Grover Cleveland was
elected President OF the United States
by majority was subject TO the further
statement that at that election large
number OF qualified voters who would
have cast their votes against him were
not permitted to do so, and one who
would have been defeated in fair con-
test, had been declared elected by the
will Of the majority.
The discussion was interrupted at this
point by Mr.. Butterworth, of Ohio, who
presented the conference report on the
legislative appropriation bill. The report
was discussed and further conference
was ordered on some minor disagreeing
points. The House then took a recess,
the evening session to be for the consid-
Grafton Of private pension bills.

an error from the Circuit Courts Of Wayne
