A Declaration of War Against the Union
Pacific by Chairman FaIthorn.
Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-Chairman Faithorn has
issued joint notice on behalf of eighteen big
Western roads cancelling on November l, all
prorsting agreements with the Union Pacific
Business heretofore routed by Union Pacific will
in consequences be largely forced over the Bur-
linGton, Rock Island and other competitors Of
the Union Pacific. Even some of the Eastern
roads, notably the Big Four cancel ira fic
agreements with the Union Pacific This news
started the selling of ali stock interested, as it
was generally interpreted to mean a combined
against the Northwest Union Pacific sys
TEN. 1t is probably intended to force
the abrogstion of the Union Pacific North
west traffic agreem mt. Professional traders
ard all the big houses arrayed lately on the
bear side, sold Union Pacific down to ;g3s and
St. Paul to 5S3s. The agreement will pnt
the NanderbiitS in delicate situation They
will either h to refuse to advance rates az
agreed on November IL, or give u their deter
mination not TO divide the Union Pacific bust
ness. week ago the St. Paul road refused to
agree to vote for advance without d Iyision
of the business aud when it receded from This
position at an adjourned meeting this week. il
probably had made the agreement announced
to- day. St. Paul officers state that there can be
no maintenance of rates without division of
business. and it seems as though this point
would have to be fought over.

THE COUNTRY'S TRADE
Weekly Review as Gathered by r. G.

A Remarkable Feature Concerning wester,
Cities Trosperity-A Slight Decrease
in Business Failures,

New YORK, Oct. 24.-R. G. Dun & Co. IS
weekly review of trade says: Business con-
tinues large in volume and generally proftably.
In many branches there is not a worthy ex-
pansion on account Of the new opportunities
which the revised tariff gives. Boston finds the
boot and shoe trade encouraging, and prices in
that line are firm.
Sales of wool are rather large but there is no
distinct Improvement in the market for wooden
goods, and manufacturers are more hopeful.
cotton goods are firm in price, while raw ma
terial declined al Phi ladephia Money has be-
come easy and collections are on the whole sat-
lsIactory. AT Chicago there is a marked de-
crease in receipts of cured meats, dressed beef,
lard, butter and hides, but in wool an increase,
and the volume of business continues larger
than year ago, with satisfactory collections in
dry goods and clothing. At st. Louis the state
OF business is healthy, and while money is
rather scarce there is no trouble about coIlec-
lions. At Pittsburg manufacturing interests are
Bessemer steel and blooms. It is a remarkable
feature OF the returns this year that Western
citles appear to prosper without slightest regard
the seaboard. AT Kansas City trade
Is healthy There Is rather more in
dlcations of monetary pressure at Southern
cehterss and business is only fairly active in
the Lou isiana region. The money markets are
on the whole less disturbed than they were a
week ago, but there is an increased scarcity of
funds at some of the Yves ern and Southern
centers. The most impor ant industries are
doing well. the iron business is hesitating be-
cause an unprecedented consumption is appa-
rently overrun by unprecedented produc-
tlon, and Bessemer iron is weak at Pittsb:rg
and Philadelphia, but the demand for all
nnlshed products continues so large that the
capacity OF the mill seems to be strained to its
