THE BUSINESS WORLD.

II. G, Dun 3 Co.'S Weekly Review Show
ing the General Condition of tho Bust-
ness Interests of the Country-A Gradual
and Satisfactory Improvement All Along
the Line-Business Failures, Etc.
New YoRK. Oct 10.-R. G. Dun &
Co. IS weekly review of trade says:
From all parts of the west and south come
advices that business Is gradually fmprov-
ing, and the improvement Is felt at eastern
centers. The news regarding the chief IN
dustries is decidedly favorable. Cotton has
made satisfactory progress, and the receipts
have greatly increased. The prospect as 70
the yield Is better than week ago. Inc
iron industry is more firm in tone, anu Ia
spite of the comparatively small consump-
tion in rail making, outpu. scarcely ever
exceeded seems to be met by the cohsump-
rion. The mills manufacturing par irons
plates and structural iron are moderately
employed, and a slight advance appears
Eere for some forms of manufactured IRON,
but rails are very quiet. In copper there -
uncertainty with sales of lake at lz3oc; TIN
is dull at 2o.Ilc, and lead in moderate de-
mand The market for wool IS quiet at
BOSTON and elsewhere, but sales are NOS
small, and receipts at the west greatly ex-
ceed last years. Worsted miils are
running at full capacity. Boston reports
good bu >ness, ample supplies OF money aho
more inquiry for boots and shoes, with
leather selling quite freely at full prices.
and more inquiry is seen for iron; wool Is
firm with less pressure to sell, and ooots
and shoes are selling moro freely with fair
trade in hides and leather. At Cincinnati
and Cleveland fair activity Is noted, ana nc
Chicago trade thus far this year exceeds
that of all previous years, sales of clothing
and shoes being large, but or dry goocs
little less than q year ago. The weeks re-
ceipts of wheat are four times last years. or
rye ten times and of wool double. with In
crease i'm dressed beef and hides, but de-
crease in other articles. Trade Is improv-
ing at Omaha and Minneapolis. where lum-
Der advances with unprecedented sales ana
flour mills fully employed, the
output last week being the largest on
record; at st. Louis, where the demand
for money shows strong trade in most lines;
at Kansas City, where better weather gives
steady Improvement, and at Denver. Atthe
south the Improvement Is also general, and
heavy receipts OF cotton are noted at
Savannah. Charleston. Galveston and New
Orleans. The pause in stock speculation
hinders the placing of securities for railroad
extensions and improvements, but Is never
theless healthy. Cotton is slightly stronger.
On the whole, the outlook for Industrial
progress is decidedly satisfactory.
The business failures occurring through
out the country during the last seven days,
number, for the United States, 2i0, and for
Canada 80, or a total of 270; compared
with a total of 230 last week, and 244 for the
week previous to the last. For the corre-
spending week of last year the figures were
2l5 representing 1856 failures in the United
States and 29 in the Dominion of Canada.

Leader a Week Pervious to the Event.
New YORK, Oct. 9.-''Boulanger is
dead, Balmaceda is dead. and Parnell

men and well-known men about town.
Psyche Train was in the midst of
one of his most impassioned harangues
when he made that remark. A num-
ber of the party laughed. and then
Train thundered: "Ye are idiots who
laugh. The revolution is on. The peo-
pie will rise. l am the apostle of
hypnotism. Death, devastation and
disease are in the air. Two adj
venturers are dead; the third, Par
nell, has run his course, and
will die within week. The trans
atlantic bypnotic-psychic cable brings
me the news. The whole world is
conductor, and 1 am the key" and
rapidly swapping his fingers, he wound
up with: "Boulanger, boaster! Bal
maceda, bandit! and Parnell, poltroon!
all dead, atop of the smoking heaps of
the ambitions of the chivalry of three
gallant nationalties-Chilian French
men and Irishmen."

INTERESTING CONTEST.

The Relative Merits of Type-Setting
Machines to be Tested by n Private
Competition Followed by Public Ex-
hibition in Chicago-A New Cold-Process
Method of Stereotyping Also to be Ex-
hibited.
CHICAGO, Oct. 10.-A special commit
tee of the American Newspaper Pub
lishers' association, consisting of Col
Frederick Driscoll, of the st. Paul
Pioneer-Press e. II. Woods, of the Bos-
ton Herald and Maj. w. j. Richards,
of the Indianapolis News, will conduct
type-setting- machine contest during
the coming week in the Chicago Even
ing Post building. The machines
which will compete are the Mergen-
tharler linotype, the Rogers typograph,
the Mcmillan type-setting machine, and
the ST. John typo bar.
Commencing Monday, October 12, the
test will continue privately for six
days, and for one week thereafter,
commencing Monday, October 10, the
machines will be on exhibition to the
public and newspaper men everywhere.
Newspaper proprietors and publishers
in all parts of the country manifest
great interest in the contest, the first
of the kind ever held, and it is ex-
pected that a large number of publish
ers will take advantage of the oppor-
tunity to see the various machines at
work together and make comparison
as to their relative merits.
To assist them in their work the COM
mittee will have with them the fore
men of their composing rooms, and the
capacity of the machines for superse-
ding the work of setting type by hand
will be thoroughly investigated.
At the same time there will be ex-
hibited also new method of stereotyp-
ing known as the cold stereotyping pro-
cess, whereby plates are made with a
rapidity never before attained and
without heating the type. 1t is proba-
BILE that other mechanical appliances of
interest to newspaper men will also be
exhibited
