New YORK, Sept. 27.-R. G. Dun &
| Co. s weekly review of trade says:
Treasury disbursements for bonds and
| silver and prepayments of interest have re-
| duced balances by nearly s30,00D,00O, but the
enormous supply of currency has not as yet
| inflated prices at all. Tho local rate for
money on call has declined from to per
cent, and an easier market Is reported at
| Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago. But the
great foreign banks continue to lose gold,
England and France reporting loss of S4-
| 600, 900 for the week. With lower prices,
| there appears the desired Improvement
| in export of products. and the decrease
for the past three weeks is now only
four-sevenths per cent compared with
last year. The imports are much enlarged
by effort to get goods ito the country be-
fore a new tariff goes into effect, but the
current accounts of such increase are exag-
gerated; the value of all imports for three
weeks has been but 1874 per cent above last
years record. The reports from cities show
| remarkable activity in all branches OF
legitimate trade. Boston reports more
trade with easy money and exceptionally y
| large sales of wool reaching 6,7j0,0N
pounds. At Philadelphia the shoe and
leather trades are exceptionally good
and the iron trade improves Chicago notes
a heavy decline in grain receipts compared
with last year. Cincinnati also reports
quite good trade and fair crops. At Cleve-
land trade is good, and at Pittsburgh it
holds prices firmly, though there Is slight
weakening in pig iron. Milwaukee reports
trade much in excess of last yaars, and De-
troit also. At Minneapolis lumber has ad-
vanced so cents. White wheat is unsettled.
with receipts of 1l0l,0]o bushels. Kansas
City reports steady trade, and Savannah
notes general activity, with firm prices for
staples. Though money is very active at
most points, and rather stringent at many,
the volume of business does not seem to be
anywhere curtaIled thereby, and the reports
as to collections are much more favorable
than usual
The business failures during the last seven
days number: For the United States, 49,;
for Canada, "a; total, 2l9: as compared with
a total of l91 last week, and 1873 for the week

POLYGAMY NO MORE.

Mormon Church Denying that Polyga-
nous Marriages Have Recently Been
Entered Into and Declaring that the
Laws In that Respect will Hereafter be
Obeyed.
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Sept "a
The following manifesto will be pub
lished here to-day:
To Whom IL Nay Concern:
Press dispatches having been sent from
Salt Lake City. which have been widely pub
lished for political purposes, to the effect
that the Utah Commission, In their recent
report to the Secretary of the Interior, al
lege that plural marriages are still being
solemnized, and that forty or moro such
marriages have been contracted In Utah
since last June, or during the past year;
also that In public discourses the
leaders of the church have taught,
encouraged and urged the continuance
of the practice OF polygamy; I therefore, as
| president of the Church of Jesus Christ OF
| Latter Day Saints, do hereby, In tho most
| solemn manner. declare that the charges
are false. We are not teaching polygamy or
| plural marriage; nor permitting any per-
son to enter into Its practice, and deny
| that either forty of any other NUMBER OF
| plural marriages have during that period
| been solemnized in our temples or any
other place in the Territory. One case has

that the marriage was performed in the En-
dOwment House in Salt Lake City in the
spring Of 1889. But / have not been able
to leLrn who performed the ceremony.
Whatever was done in this matter was
done without my knowledge. In conse-
quence of this alleged occurrence the En-
dowment House was, by my instructions,
taken down without delay. Inasmuch as
| laws have been enacted by Congress for
| bidding plural marriages, which laws have
| already been pronounced constitutional by
the court of last resort. do hereby declare
| nv intention to submit to those laws and to
| use all my influence with the members of
the church over which 1 preside to have
them do likewise. There Is nothing in my
! teachings to the church or in those of my
associates during the time specified which
can reasonably be construed to inculcate or
encourage polygamy, and when any elder
of the church has used language which ap-
! pearod to convey such teachings he has
| been promptly reproved; and now pub
| liclv declare that my advice to the Latter
Day Saints is to refrain from contracting
any marriage forbidden by the law of the
| land.

careful consideration of the resolution
could find no reason for granting it.
