DIV Goods Market.

The dry goods trade of the country. says the
Dry Goods Economist, has been fayorably at
fected by clear weather and q seasonable tenn
perature of a weeks duration. Agents, manu-
facturers and the various branches of the dis
trihuting trade have reflected q better feeling,
and that feeling ia the twin Of better business.
There has been an increase in business in the
chief markets not large but still OF importance.
From Central Western and Northwestern mar
kets the order demand has been fairly good.
Such purchases mean that the demand Is ~
hand and that stocks are broken up and require
replenishing. From Southern markets the re-
ports have been less satisfactory. as result OF
the floods, and the delay thereby occasioned in
the preparation of the soil for planting crops.
Cotton has been in better demand AZ rome ana
abroad, and with increased sales and decreased
receipts from plantations and at the ports,
prices for middling uplands st the chief markets
have been advanced from l-l5c to b4c per pound :
There has been a large business done IN spot
cotton at Liverpool during the week and mid :
ding uplands are 80 dearer.
Cotton goo Is have sh own no general demand,
though many small to moderate wants wa nave ave
been larger than last week ana the tone OF the
market is steadier.
Wool has been in increased demand and sales
at the chief markets and prices are no dearer
than a week ago. Wooden goods have been IN
steady delivery on account Of autumn orders,
but the new demand for clothing goods has
bean very slack. Flannel dress fabrics have
had attention and fair engagements have been
placed, but otherwise the market was quiet.
The clothing trade has been waiting for dupil-
cate orders. but as the consuming demand mas
been slow in providing spring supplies, the
trade at first hands has been on moderate
scale. The cloak trade has had fair recorder
request for new and duplicate assoItments.
The jobbing trade has had steadier and larger
demand thon last week. The outlook is hope
full and if conditions hold for any length of time
an improved business is outlined.

GOMPERs' MANIFESTO.
BE Counsels Determination IN the Eight Hour
Move, but Urges Men to Refrain from
Riotous Demonstration.

NEW YORK, April 2s.-The general ex-
ecutive board of American Federation of
Labor had protraoted execu-
tive session this afternoon, and
tonight issued a manifesto
signed by President Gompers. After de =
nounclng all who do not yield to his
views as enemies OF those who work, Mr. E.
Gompers says: The executive council of
American Federation of Labor having
selected the United Brotherhood of Car
penters and Joiners of America to make
the demand for the enforcement of the
eight hour work day, 1 ask you to
refrain from any sympathetic strikes,
rather remain at your work and aid the
carpenter and joiners to win in the
contest. To the carpenters and joiners
my advice is TO demand and insist upon
the enforcement of the eight hour work
day. 1t Is not matter of theory, it
is positive fact that the question of
wages and conditions will regulate
themselves, and to your benefit, as soon
as the eight hour work day has been in
operation. For that reason, if you
cannot get the Gig ht- hour work day with
other conditions, then allow them to
remain open for future adjustment.
In the demonstrations to be held May l ,
turn out In vast numbers and by your
presence maifest your unalterable de-
termination TO have the eight hour work
day enforced, though by one trade at a
time, and for all as the ultimate result.
Allow no one to provoke you to breach
of the peace, maintain order, refrain
from all violence, engage in no riots, let
the watchword be the enforcement of the
eight hour work day, firm, peaceable
and positive. With stout hearts and
clear heads let us concentrate all efforts
for Victory upon the carpenters and join

Profits of Iron Ore Mining.

More dividends are announced by Lake supe-
rior iron ore companies. The Pittsburg and
Lake Angeline company paid dividend of Sc
per share on the 25th ultimo, following one OF
So in February. Since January 1, 1889, or in
fifteen months the company has paid its stock
holders s35 so per share, or about S2.37 per
share per month. The capital stock OF the
company is but $500, 900, consisting of 20, 600
shares of q par value of SIS each. The dividends
declared in fifteen months have amounted to
S7lO 600. which, it will be observed, is consider
ably more than the entire capital. It is not sur
prising under these circumstances that the
market value of the stock is over $40 per share.
The company has a most excellent mine, and it
is admirably managed to produce such results.
The Republic iron company declared a divf-
dend of 81 per share last month, which was
the fifth since October. and the impression pre-
walls that 81 or s. will be paid for the entire
year.
These profits to the holders of mining stocks
are phenomenal but they are too large to
continue permanently. 1t would not be sur
prisiug in few months to have the situation
safsEffairs completely changed by offers of more
ore than the market can take, forcing
prices down to an unremuneratiee level, and
idends. The agencies actively 1T work to cause
this are the new mines which are Being opened
and the extensive preparations by Old mines to
greatly increase their output. 1.-THE decline in
the price of pig-iron indicates depression in
that trade of some duration and severity, the
stockholders in mining companies have reason
to look forwa. d with apprehension; which will
temper their rejoicing over % e heavy dividends
now in hand.-sIron Age.

A colored Lady Who Proposes to Have Alex

Correspondence of the Gazette
LoNGvIEw, TEX, April %. THE ne
groes were treated to quite sensation
yesterday at the colored Methodist
church. It was announced from the
pulpit last Sunday that there would be a
wedding in the church at p. M, but
names were withheld for reasons which

Old Alex Henson who had lived in
slavery with Sarah Henson, after the
war took up With Della Beane, a younger
woman, but ali three lived together with
more or less peace. From some unknown
cause Alex concluded to make Della his
lawful spouse. He knew his .'slavery

wished TO have wife by law, but Sarah
thought an ante belum marriage valid
and proposed to stick to Alex, and
watched their movements and when they

thing in check. The same thing was re-
hearsed at p. m. last night, but the
old woman still holds tbs fort.
About two weeks ago Wolf Ector and
W. L. Smith became involved in a quar-
rel on our streets and Smith received q
out in the neck which was
not at the time thought neoes-
sarily fatal. Eotor was released on
bond. Some time after the neck vein,
which had been severed, broke loose. It
was again secured, but Saturday the
vein broke again, and being so far up
under the base of the skull that it could
not be tied Smith bled to death. Ector
was placed under arrest and win have his
preliminary trial to-day.

SPECULATIVE.

Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, April % Attention was
directed this morning to a rumor that
Gould railroad stocks were lifeless. It
was intimated by knowing ones that this
abnormal quiet meant something and
that probably we should see these stocks
taken up very shortly. This suggestion
was partially verified by the course
Of Missouri Pacific which sprang
into sudden activity in the noon
hour and advanced in connection with
the report that Missouri Pacific was reb-
resented at meeting of Western pas
senger agents in progress at Chicago and
that Gould and Chairman Walker were
in conference regarding the settlement of
Western rate troubles.
Willard securities were notably prom
insnt in to-day's market. Northern Pa,
cldc preferred and common advanced
sharply on the announcement that SYM
dicate has been formed to retire first

Pacific Mail was advanced strongly
In connection with the renewal of the
gossip relative to possible traffic relations
between the company and Northern
Pacific.
Sugar trust certificates were bought
up.
Union Pacific was unable to hold its
own in the face OF the annual report
printed yesterday. 1t should be remem-
bered, however, that that report makes
more probable further concessions in the
Pacific funding bill.
Other prominent features of the deal
lngs we're Louisville and Nashville which
London wanted, Atohison which Boston
was bound TO have at any price, and
Canada Southern.
Dealings we're not so active as yester-
day London s large purchases of our
seearetieS were reelected in a further re-
duction Of sterling exchange rates by
some houses. London quotations in the
later hours were weaker on realizing of
profits.
Later reports from she passenger
agents meeting were favorable. 1t was
SAD that an agreement was almost GER
IAN. Missouri Pacific continued active
una strong to the close. Texas and

western Union also fell into line. The
close was strong with bulls in complete
control.
one reason for the strength Of

A good story is told by one of our promi.
nent business men who formerly ran a gro,
Gerry when Napoleon was in its infancy. He
had weighed some butter brought in by a
woman from the country and before deposit
ing it in the refrigerator attempted 10 devide
it in two for convenience. In doing so large
white beet was discovered. Saying nothing
but removing the vegetable he asked the Ia
dies pleasure. First on her list was two
pounds of coffee. He placed the beet in
the scale pan and made up the balance with
coffee. The woman stood by gazing ashamed
on the proceeding but said nary word
neither did he. She sold the beet at IL cents
and bought it at 20, the price of the coffee.
