THE STATE OF TRADE

preccdentod-Dun's Wccltly Review.
NEW York, Nov. 13.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review OF trade will say:
Business has entirely recovered from
the slight disturbance caused by the
Maverick Bank failure. Trade is large
i'll volume ior the season and in many
lines, especially at the west, the largest
ever known. But margins for profits
are narrow and the tendency OF prices
is not toward improvement i'll that re-
spect. While brcadstutIs advance, most
manufactured products tend to decline.
The iron output November was the
greatest ever known. 1t is q striking
fact that only 30l furnaces are in blast,
against BOG on October !, showing Il
steady substitution, OF larger and better
works for those OF less capacity and old
fashioned equipment. Unsold stocks
have largely increased, particularly OF
coke iron, and while the consumption
is enormous, it is clear that unless the
increase comes soon the depression in
prices will force some works to stop.
Contractors for large buildings here are
figuring on foreign against American
beams. the combination not getting
the price. Coal is dull, lake copper is
offered at III &c, holdings OF tin arc heavy
at SO SO, and lead is low at 81 10.
Speculation during the past week has
been more active, wheat advancing Il
cents and corn advancing & cents. Pork
products arc unchanged, exports fall
ing behind last years. Oil is a shade
stronger at 20 cents, but exports in Oc-
tober were but G0,000,000 gallons,
against 100000 last year with much
lower prices. Receipts from other
cities show great hopeiulness. At Phil
adelphia dress goods are more active.
AT Cincinnati, retail trade improves in
all lines, and jobbing trade for shoes.
At Detroit, manufacturers are busy,
at Cleveland the activity in dry goods
and shoe trades surpasses last years,
and hardware anu groceries are active.
At Chicago receipts OF wheat and rye
are three times larger; of oats and
dressed beef 4 third larger.
Tho wool manufacture and the cloth.
iers are waiting but agents nre exceed.
lnGiy hopciui anu lrIue III kllit Soous is
satisfactory. Cotton goods are in fair
demand, but print cloths accumulating.
Money markets are well supplied for le-
Ultimate business and there is 4 distinct
improvement in collections rs products
arc marketed.
Tho business failures occurring
throughout the country during the last
seven days number 29l ,as compared with
q total Of 22G last week. For the CORE
spending week OF last year the figures
were 2GG.

tablIsh u Representative Assembly,
thus Curtailing the Power of the

Durg.-.A Crisis In the Politics of
Russia.-.Othcr Foreign Affairs.

LONDON, Nov. 13.-Advices from st.
Petersburg state that the authorities
there are becoming more and moro sus.
picious as the internal situation OF the
empire continues to grow moro critical.
There is considerable uneasiness re-
gardng the state OF affairs throughout
tho empire. Some surprise was cx-
pressed in this city upon the receipt OF
the dispatch announcing the extraordi-
nary activity which was being dis.
ployed by tho Russian government in
connection with the cntornal disturb
anccs which are known to exist in tho
empire. 1t was thought at first that
the governments action was due to the
troubles arising from the scarcity OF
food in many districts OF Russia,
as for some days past dispatches
have been received in this city
depicting with minuteness the terri.
bic suiIerings OF the starving peasants.
Many acts OF lawlessness have been re-.
ported as having been committed by
men rendered desperate by the pangs
OF hunger, and the statement made that
tho marshals OF the nobility. would be
held to strict accountability for any
political disturbances in their districts,
was TO mean that the starving peasants
and small farmers were assuming q
threatening attitude.
4 dispatch was received this evening,
however, which puts all speculation to
flight and gives very sufficient reason
for the suspicious Of the Russian cen.
trail government that there is some
thing wrong IN the empire.
A GREAT CONSPIRACY.
This dispatch states that short time
ago it came to the knowledge OF the
police that conspiracy was under way.
The authorities, through the system OF
espionage which prevails throughout
Russia, were able to learn who the con-
spirators were, their places OF meeting,
and in fact everything connected with
the plot. While secretly pursuing their
investigations in st. Petersburg, they
found that the conspirators in that city
were only part of very numerous
band, the headquarters OF which was
located at Moscow. They learned also
that the conspirators had been very az
tive in securing adhcrents to their plan,
and that the conspiracy had ramilica-
tions which spread to all the principal
cities OF the empire.
The object OF the conspiracy just un-
earthed, unlike a majority OF the plots
discovered in Russia, was not to kill the
Gar, but was the organization OF q
movement having ior its end the crea-
tion OF q representative assembly, an
object which has been the dream OF
many Russians for years. Sixty mem
bcrs OF the nobility and OF theupper and
middle classes who are charged with
completely in the conspiracy have been
arrested.
The discovery OF the plot and the ar
rest OF so many prominent subjects has
caused q decided sensation in Russia.

But Every Person on Board Saved After
Floating In Boats for Hours.
LONDON, Nov. Histories OF wreck
and disaster caused by the storm con-
tinuc to be received. News has just
reached this city OF the loss at sea OF the
British steamer Fairfield. The steamer
was bound from the Tyne for Genoa,
and was caught in the hurricane on
"Wednesday last just as she was ON the
outer edge OF the Bay OF Biscay. The
Fairfield, although comparatively
small steamer, was staunch iron ves-
sci. Although the pumps worked to
their greatest capacity, the water in the
hold was slowly but surely gaining.
Finally it rose high, SO that the engine
fires were extinguished and then the
vessel was helpless. The water now
rapidly began to ill the holds and the
steamer began to settle far below her
bearings. At this juncturc it was de-
cided 10 abandon her.
Orders had previously been given for
the boats 10 be made ready, and water
and provisions had been placed in
them. Nothing now remained to be
done but TO get the boats clear OF the
sinking steamer
After they had been ahoat for many
hours, they were picked up by passing
vessels and fortunately there is not the
loss OF single life to chronicle in con.
ncction with the loss OF the Fairfield:

RIGHTS OF CORPORATIONS
Enjoying Street Franchises from n City
an Imrortnnt DecIsioE.


An Important Decision.
CLEVELAND, Nov. 13.-An important
decision affecting the authority OF cities
to control and regulate corporations en-
ioying street franchises was rendered
by Judge Jackson, in the United States
Court, to-day. Some time since the
City Council passed an ordinance re-
ducing the price OF gas from 81 to so
cents thousand. Tho gas company
went into the United States Court and
asked for relief in equity, claim-
ing that the proposed reduction
meant virtual confscation OF their
property which was contrary to the
clause OF the federal constitution pre-
venting the taking OF property without
due process OF law. The city demurred
on the ground that the federal court
had no jurisdiction. Judge Jackson to-
day overrulcd the demurrer and granted
an injunction against the city. He held
that the city had no right to fix the
price OF an article OF which it was con-
sumner; that the action OF the council
would impair the validity OF q .cantract
made with the accompany in lS46, and
that the city had no right to do SO.
