Weekly Trade Review.

weekly Trade Review.
NEW YoRK. November 30.-R. 6. Dun d
Co.'S weekly review of trade says
The week, broken by a holiday, has shown
the usual characteristics of weak speculation,
active retail trade and moderate wholesale
business. But the great factors which go
to make the national prosperity are unaltered.
Speculation durlng the past week has not
been active here, but a corner at Chicago has
put up corn for immediate delivery 3 cents.
and pork is 25 cents higher, oats Is and
wheat nc per bushel higher, while cotton
and sugar are heavy. The receipts of cotton
exceed those of the same week last year by
1000 bales and the exports by $1,000 bales.
but the stock IN the country is 81 600 bales
larger.
rate of more than 100000 bushels for the
full week, and the exports have been ], 3OO.-
600 bushels of wheat alo e from Atlantic ports
for three days of the present week.
Corn Is coming forward fairly, and after
November a sharp decline in price is ex-
pected.
Oil and coffee show no considerable change.
The volume of speculation in most lines is
fortunately restricted to legitimate business,
and the movement OF products are not at
present hampered.
In the great industries the outlook Is III
proved. Lead is unchanged and coal dull,
with 3, 25O, 600 allotted for December.
The market for wGolen goods distinctly
improves with cold weather. Cotton goods
are fairly active.
Money is comparatively easy and colIec-
tons fair.
The exports of products in four weeks at
New York have exceeded last years by ST.
.61, 49, in value, indicating an aggregate for
the month probably exceeding $95.0O,OO.
At the same time there is a decrease of 10
per cent in the value of imports.
The business failures occurring throughout
the country during the last seven days num-
Der 295, as compared with total of 2S5 last
week. For the corresponding week last year
the figures were 246.

The appointment of DR.. NJ. H. Nc
Intyre of West Randolph Zone of the
Worlds Fair Commissioners, by the way),
as Special Commissioner in charge of
of the maple sugar bounty interests, re-
Gently, has already brought to the front
a practicable proposal for the solution of
how the bounty aforesaid shall be paid.
The Doctor has devised and put before
the authorities plans of operations. He
told the folks at Washington that nothing
could be done by ordinary methods,
such as might work with the cane sugar
manufacture where plantations were few
and did large business, and suggested
that revenue inspectors be located at
places where maple sugar is shipped to
weigh what producers brought, and take
samples to be sent to headquarters for
analysis. This would permit the prompt
marketing of the crop, which is so essen
tial. And after the season ends it is pro-
posed to have the inspectors go from
house to house and weigh and take sam
pies of all that the farmers keep for their
own use. DR.. Mcintyre thinks that the
plan will be adopted by the authorities
and detailed regulations adopted to put
it in force.

NEW YORK LEGISLATURE.

Gov. Hill of New, ork, talks well. - In
recent interview he asserted that tho
Assembly, according to the certificates
already issued, stands 65 democrats and
63 republicans. Said the governor: ~
would not deprive Republican of a single
right to which he is entitled, or deprived
him of single honest vote, but at the
same time | insist that every Democrat
shall have every vote to which lie is en-
titled. The Democrats throughout the
state are acting in accordance with law
and will be sustained by the people mas
serting their rights, The Republicans
have not only sought to override the bal
lot reform law, but to violate the consti-
tuition of the state as well'
1t is significant that it is the wicked"
Republicans who are to blame (?) in all
these cases, but that the courts have been
called in to compel Democrats to count
the returns and to revise their Count out
of Republicans in several instances.
There is vast discrepancy here between
Gov. Hill speaking and Gov. Hills acts
through hishenchman. In the face OF
these remarks by Gov. Hill the same
paper contains a Poughkeepsie despatch
of the 23d, which says: THE board of
canvassers in Dutches county adopted a
tubular statement this afternoon, giving
Flower Is majority and Osborne for sena-
tor 1874 majority. and their action has
been the cause of general talk since. 1t
foreshadows an action by which Russell
may be declared elected assemblymau
from the 1st district and by which all the
Democratic county officers will be elected.
The action of the board is severely com
mented upon by Republicans, while Dem
Ocrats are remarkably reticent on the
subject. The adoption of the table was
done without debate, as the previous
question had been adopted and no basis
of the table was given in the session of
the board. The power of the courts will
be invoked to have the proceedings lul
lifted. Separate investigation of the basis
upon which the canvassing board found
1S4 majority for Osborne, Democrat, for
senator indicates that the first district of
Dover was not thrown out, but that 81
votes were thrown out in RedhOok.
These "a votes were marked by quad"
in the printers form and this is said to be
the ground upon which they were reject
ed. They were all Republican ballots and
the number about agrees with the Repub-
lican majority in the Dover district
The Democratic county clerk refused to
become party to the crime, and the re-
tnrning board proceeded to declare his
Office vacant, elected clerk who signed
the bogus returns, put them in his peck
ct and started for Albany. Verify, great
is Democratic integrity in the Empire
state this fall and Tammany and Gov.
Hill are its prophets.

Nearly every well informed family
subscribes every year for more than one
newspaper. The local newspaper occu-
pies a field, into which no other can en-

addition to the one necessary newspaper,
which it must certainly have, whether it

of publications, which are edited for the

do well to consider the attractions of
The New York Tribune, whose prospec-

now the ablest and most aggressive of
Republican weeklies. Its price is low,

the writings of Roswell G. Horr, of

GEN. GRANTS MEMOIRS.

and Cosmopolitan.

Genuine Edition CIubbed With This Paper
and Cosmopolitan.
The price of General Grants Memoirs
is 81 per set. Many of our readers have
bought the work at that price. We are
able to announce that we have made an
arrangement by which the Memoirs can
be obtained for a fraction of the usual
price. The BANNER $1.5O, the Cosn,o-
pOlitdn Magazine, SO, and the Memoirs
81, together we offer for So, an offer not
to be equaled. The combined price of
the three is S11.5O. This is the pub
lishers' original edition of the Memoirs,
not cheap edition, but the regular 500
copy. The COSmOpOtitdn is one of the
best and most elaborate of the illustrated
magazines. As many already possess
Grants Memoirs, we can supply in their
place either Sheridan's, or Sherman's, or
McClellan's at the same low rate of So. 90.
Subscribers will have to pay express
charges or postage on the volumes Sc
lected. Postage on Gen. Grants vols.
4Sc; on Sheridans vols. 42c; Sherman's
vols 4Gc; McClellan's vols. 24c, which
must be added to the $500 aforesaid.
The Cosmopolitan has grown in three
years from monthly issue of 10000
copies to regular circulation of $4,000,
with occasional editions of $1,000 copies.
You can have the advantage of the above
rates only for short time. All who pay
one year in advance are entitled to these
terms.

ing, with theVermont press, which,almost
to uuit repudiates the proposal. The
Journal says: :"Wepropose to stand by the
Vermont publishers, and have declined
a second proposition to place the club
bing arrangement exclusively in the
hands of the Republican State Commit
tee; which proposal involved charging
90 cents for the Weekly journal to State
publishes who did not reduce the price
of their own papers" as above.
The BANNER has already announced
it's refusal to reduce rates in accordance
with the demands of the committee.
We shall not give the subscriber
when he takes city paper fifteen
cents advantage over another who does
not. 1t is manifestly unfair to those who
may not wish to enter into general
clubbing arrangement. Besides, the Re-
publican State Committee have no con-
troll over the private business of the State
press. With the Hertdd and Ne"S, we
think:
at is very unfortunate that they
should, just on the eve of Presidential
election, in which harmony is especially
needed in the party, make a change in
the clubbing arrangements that have
been in force for the past four years with
the leading metropolitan weeklies, with
outconsulting the Republican newspapers
of Vermont, to which no publisher can be-
come party and retain his self-repect.
We say this is very unfortunate, as with
out the cordial support of the Republi-
can papers of this State, no committee
can secure a good old-fashioned Repub-
lican majority for the ticket in 1892"
This is the feeling as expressed by
nearly all our State exchanges. The
Middlebury Register is led to say:
"The st. Johnsbury Caiedonidn of last
week makes the excellent suggestion
that Chairman f. w. Baldwin of the Re-
publican State Committee resign. A man
who begins a campaign by exciting the
hostility of the majority of the news
papers of his party at the outset can
serve that party and all concerned to
greater advantage by giving up job
that is obviously beyond his capacity"
Meantime the BANNER has indepen-
dent clubbing rates, to which it invites
the attention of its readers, pending the
set tlement with the State Committee,
which the LyndOnville journal calls a
forced contribution of $4,000 by the
State press to the campaign fund of 1892.
The Journal first accepted the offer and
then recalled its acquiescence. The
Phenir, Bellows Falls Times, and about
thirty others are spicy reading these
days. With them we conclude:
''If any members of the Republican
State Committee or the party itself really
have an idea that Vermont newspapers
have no particular influence in State pol
itic few of them who are likely to be
candidates next summer might be sent
up Salt River by the newspapers as an
object lesson. We hardly think any one
will further dare then to attempt it."

The Episcopal Church Congress lately

In other words, it is an independent or

Socialism seemed to be the main topic of
the late gathering, although many other
subjects were touched upon. The 'red
rag of cialism was waved in earnest
and by men equally as singular as Henry
George or other advocates of that reform
could wish. The Herald gives the con-

The United States Supreme Court has
before it number of interesting land
cases and the decisions rendered will set
tie some important principles. One of
the most interesting of the cases, how
ever, is one that really does not involve
any wide principle, but on it hangs the
title to 100000 acres of the best land
along the De MOines, Iowa, River. This
has almost become a cause celetre.
Years ago the United States decided the
land to Iowa on consideration that the
Des MONIES River should be opened to
transportation. That State turned it
over to the Des Moines River Navigation
Company. The work, however, was
never done, and thousands of settlers
have since taken possession of the land.
The Navigation Company, however,
claims that the land still belongs to it,
and that all these settlers are at it's
mercy.

CLUBBING TERMS AND THE RE
PUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE.


The State press continue to discuss
this subject, the tenor of which we have
already stated to ouI readers. The home
organ of Chairman Baldwin, the Barton
Monitor, under the title of mot Under
stood'' defends the position taken by the
committee. The WdtchmGn and others
state the case and then criticise the COM
mittee. Chairman Baldwin himself
writes: 1--WE are asking the publishers
of Vermont Republican papers to do
this; those publishing Sl.00 papers to
reduce their price ten cents, bringing
that paper and any one of the city week
lies at $l.3O; $l.25 papers to reduce fif-
teen cents and 1,5O papers to also re-
duce fifteen cents, bringing S1.25 papers
and one city weekly at s1.5O, and bring
ing $3.50 and any one of the city week
lies at SLID; $500 papers at 1920
clubbed." This, then is the proposal.
The Boston Journal refuses to give
their weekly exclusively to the control
of the State Committee, and a circular
before us seems to be in accord as to feel

At the late celebration of the opening
of the narrow guage road toWilmington,
of which we made mention recently, a
large number of letters were received
by the committee in charge of those ex-

chairman, because of its reference to the
work of the late Commissioner of Immi-

Southern Vermont on the success of the
efforts of the people of Wilmington and
vicinity in securing an outlet by rail for
the markets of the county, and the
opening up of your magnificent valley to
easy access for visitors on business or

The best explanation of the split
among the Western members of the
Farmers Alliance is found in the Octo-
Der statement of Kansas farm and city
mortgage Indebtedness. This shows
that during that month there was a re-
duction in those two items of more than
100000, and that during the past five
months such payments have exceeded
$2,OOO,OOO. The dependency caused by
temporarily hard times has passed away.
The farmers now have money, they are
paying their debts and are happy. The
demagogues, as result, have lost their
grip upon them.
