tor Hepburn on the question of the treat
ment of goods dutiable under the old law
and free under the present law imported
prior to Oct. 6, but the entry of which was
not completed until on or after that date
One of the custom officers of the depart
ment said this afternoon that all foreign

tered until the next day, when the law had

A BLOW AT CANADA.
LONDON, Oct. TN a speech at Horn
castle this evening, after touching on the
Irish question, Rt. Hon. Edward Stanhope
referring to the new United States tariff
law, he said he believed it was directed
largely against England and Canada, and
that it would do Canada serious injury.
The working classes in England would also
suffer to a less extent but the frraatest
injury would be done to the Americans
themselves. 1t behooved the government,
he said. TO find fresh outlets for British
capital.

Despite an Extended Heated Term,
Pittsburg Merchants Unite in
the Statement That
THIS SUMMERS TRADE is GREAT.
DrygOods Men, Clothiers, jewelers., Hatters.
Shoe Dealers and Fancy Goods
Men Are in Clover.
NO PITTsBURG SCOT FOR DRAWBACK.
One Business Man Of so YeaTs' Experience Says He
Never Saw the Like.

The present summer has been the best hot
weather period that Pittsburg business
houses have gone through for many years.
A tour among the different principal lines
of business yesterday resulted in reports of
increased sales on all sides, and rosy pros
pective for the fall and winter months.
The opinions advanced were to the effect
that the increase in business has been
general, steady and not spasmodie, and that
the reason may be found in the easy in
dustriaI situation that is and has been found
to prevail among employers and workmen,
and also in the increase of the population
of the city and surrounding towns.
Among the music dealers it was said that
nothing like the present indulgence Of
musical tastes has been experienced for
eight years past. The diamond merchants
report perfect mania for diamonds of the
first water, and other valuable gold and
silver ornaments. The shoe dealers have
good words to say for past, present and
future; the hatters are jubilant over their
sales of headgear, and what they expect in
the future; the drygoods houses have gath
cred in full share of the spare money.
Summer wearing apparel has had big run,
and fall goods are already said to be above
par; the millinery stores have unloaded
tremendous piles of poems in ladies' hats of
all kinds, and the trimmings and notions
establishments have passed under the wire
neck and neck with other lines of bust
ness, and all are getting ready for fall and
winter trade that will eclipse anything seen
heretofore

VERY BRISK BUSINESS.

Jewellers Say They Never Saw Such Sum.
mer-SiIverware Dearer Because Of the
Passage of the silver Bill-The Demand
for Diamonds Great.
The jewelry business has also felt the
general boom. The passage of the silver
bill may affect slightly the sales of all
kinds of silverware. but the jewellers don't
think the effect will be appreciable. Dia-
monds and small fancy trinkets have had
large sales during the summer months.
Mr.. Roberts. of Roberts 8 Sons, Fifth
avenue and Market street, said: "Our sales
have been much heavier, although we are
running against very heavy months last
year. June and July were very brisk.
Small trinkets in silver, gold, etc.. and dia-
monds have been bought largely by people
going on vacations. There is prospect of
heavy fall trade. Silverware of all kin ds
has gone up in prices on account of the
silver bill. The effect will be seen about
September. 1 don't think it will influence
our sales. Manufacturers are paving from
15 to 18 cents more an ounce for silver
bullion. Perhaps there may be another ad-
vance of about 8 per cent People, want
silver goods, however. Diamonds still hold
their advance, and fine goods are very
scarce"
Mr.. Shaeffer, of Shaefer & Lloyd's, on
Fifth avenue, near Market-So far trade
has been considerably better than last year.

MUST PUT UP OR SHUT UP.
SENATOR sPooNER ON HIS TIN PLATE
AMENDMENT.

He Says the Mckinley Bill VIII be Passed
in Five Weeks-The Federal Election
Measure. He Thinks, May Also Be
Passed This Session.
On the limited last night was Senator
John c., Spooner. of Wisconsin. He was
running away from the heat of Washington
to his home. He believes the tariff bill will
pass in five weeks. In speaking of affairs
at the capital he said:
"We will push the Mckinley bill as fast
as possible. We have been examining the
chemical list and will take up crockery
next. We will be through in about five
weeks, for we are going to pass that bill
before we adjourn. The tinplate clauses
Will go through. I will offer
an amendment providing that if by
October 1, 1894, there should be any
grade OF tin of % guage or finer the manu-
facture of which is not in excess Of the i'm
portation, that grade should be placed on
the free list My idea in this is simply to
make the manufacturers put up or shut up.
They will by that time be able to show
whether they mean business OF course I
will add another clause which will prohibit
any chance of unusual importations being
made in order to place any particular grade
on the free list.
''As for the Federal election bill, we will
surely pass it this Congress. and we may
pass it this session. believe the country is
ready for it. The various State platforms
for years have each had planks relating to
honest elections. We wish to make some
amendments to make it simpler. We do
not wish it to appear as favoring any par
ticular party. We cannot afford to allow it
to be taken up at any session the length of
which is limited by. law. In that case the
bill would be talked to death, for we have
abundant proof of the Senate's ability in
that line.
'There is not much talk in the Senate over
Mr.. Blaine's reciprocity project, but there
is some over mis- comments on the tariff bill.
A part Of the reciprocity idea will be
grated into the Mckinley, bill. I do not
know just what it will be. but such clause
will certainly be inserted"
