AS DUN SEES 1T.
Business Is Improving in the West
and South.

NEW YORK, Oct, 16.-R. G. Dun & Co s
weekly review says business throughout the
west and South is strong and improving. At
Eastern centers there is less satisfaction, and
the expected results from the harvesting of
large crops are more slowly realized. Yet the
volume of all trade is as large as it ever has
been, and for October may even surpass the
unprecedented record Of last year The pre-
vaihng confidence in the future of the bust
ness continues undated, and is seen even in
some branches which complain most of dull
trade at present.
The iron industry illustrates these contra
dietory conditions. The output of furnaces
in blast Oct. 1 was 1Sl,6l5 tons weekly, yet
this enormous production is marvelouSly alb
sorbed. The demand for use in producing
all kinds OF farm machinery and nipple
ments Is far greater than it has been in any
previous year, and the quantity of iron thus
used is enormous On the other hand the
wool manufacture is short of orders in the
mems wear department, though clothiers are
buying more freely. But. on the whole,
clothiers have not taken their usual supply
of goods, and many of the mills are closing.
The demand for dress goods is strong,
while knit goods are dull, as well as
active. without change in prices.
The demand for copper is large. but n rumor
of resumption in the Anaconda put down
the price of lake TO r. Ice, and tin is weak at
20 l6c, with lead at 4.45c. The market for
anthracite coal is better, but circular prices
are not realized.
At Cleveland trade exceeds last years con-
siderably, and is brisk at Cincinnati espe-
cially in dry goods. AT Chicago dry goods
trade is active and the movement of farm
products large, though receipts of cattle fall
below last years. At Detroit manufacturing
is active and factories running full time AT
Milwaukee, st. Paul, Minneapolis, Omaha
and Kansas City business is very active, and
especially in lumber at Minneapolis with ad-
vance in prices. while the output of flour is
195, 900 bbs per week, against l5l 600 bbls last
year At ST. Louis trade is unusually strong
at Louisville, Nashville and New Orleans
improving. aud at Jacksonville the largest
crop ever grown is promised.
Speculation has not been very heavy.
Wheat is a shade higher. Cotton is quarter
lower. Pork products are lower, coffee un-
changed, and oil l2c lower. The supplies of
money are ample here and at all Western
centers Foreign trade, though smaller than
a year ago, when the movement was extra
ordinary, is nevertheless larger than i'll pre-
vious years. and the heavy exports of bread
stuffs promise further reihforcements of
gold from Europe.
The business failures occurring throughout
the country during the past seven days num-
Der go, as compared with d total of 30 for
last week; for the corresponding week of
last year the figures were 227.

Happenings of Note in the Bluff
CITY.

The matter OF St. Michaels parochial
schools being absorbed into the public school
system is productive of considerable COM
ment among leading residents of this city.
Many are much in favor of doing away with
parochal schools and heartily indorse the
action of the board of education in accepting
the proposition made by members of st.
Michael's church. Others object to the en-
ployment of Sisters of Charity as teachers,
claiming that their apparel would be an in
centive toward religious views. Leading citi-
zens interviewed yesterday upon the subject
appear to be about equally divided in their
opinions.
Rev. j. H. Albert Protestant chaplain at
the prison, returned Yesterday from a meet
ing of the national prison congress at Pitts

New York Herald.
Young Frank B. Smith has thrown
away rich heritage for much less than

rather than lead an upright, pleasant

He is confined in the Tombs, and will
go to the Elmira reformatory to-day IN

Fitzgerald yesterday.
Smith is a slender youth of eighteen

Everybody Wanted to Sell at
the Opening on Chicago
Board Of Trade.
Offerings We're in Excess Of
the Demand, but Prices
Held Fairly Well.
Short Buying and a Demand
for Cash Corn We're Fact
ors in the Pit.
New York Stocks Stronger
and Material Gains Are
Recorded.

CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-The tone of the wheat
market this morning was exactly the reverse
of that which prevailed at the close yester-
day. Then it was strong on q report that the
Russian government had prohibited the ex-
portation of corn. This morning it was weak
because the report was not confirmed, and
report coming from New York to the effect
that Russia had cut off the expectation of
oats was treated with ridicule The result
was that both longs and shorts who were
eager buyers near the close yesterday were
ready sellers this morning in spite of fair
buying orders from New York.
Cables were weak and lower; receipts in
the Northwest were heavy and the weather
there was clear, though the signal service
predicted rain tomorrow. The offerings
were in excess of the demand. The market
opened lower, receded gradually during
most of the session and then reacted some
on rather better cables and good buying by
shorts who chose to accept their profits.
Hutchinson's brokers also bought on the
break, and New York finally turned seller
for quite heavy lines. In the early dealings
Schwartz Dupee were said to have selling
orders from foreigners who were long i'll this
market. December opened at 9S1sc. sagged
slowly off to 91s4c, reacted to 9S38c and closed
at 934c.
Corn was exceedingly weak, partly in sym
pathy with wheat. partly on account of the
failure to confirm Russia's reported prohibit.
ton of corn exports, and partly because OF
receipts of new corn. fifteen new cars arrived
today. Longs were discouraged and such as
had not liquidated yesterday sought to mar
ket their stuff, but found few buyers. In the
competition TO get rid of it October fell from
52lsc at the opening to 5lssc. but reacted
later and shorts took advantage of the break
to cover and this sent the price up
10 521sc. with 52ssc at the close.
A good demand for cash corn toward the end
of the session was also u strengthening fac
tor. Oats were quiet ana easy during the
first half of the session. but frmed up with
other cereals near the close. Hog products
were easier. The short demand seemed to
have been pretty we'll satisfied yesterday,
and the longs were inclined to sell while the
outside demand was light The tendency
was downward Till the latter part of the ses-
sion, when there was a partial recovery in
corn. Pork is 12l201Tl2c lower; lard 7l2c,
and ribs 7l2c lower
The leading futures ranged as follows:

Ancient Requests Of Witty Eng

A certain Lieut.. Col. Nash left an an
nuity to the bell-ringers of Bath to ''tolI
dolefully" on each anniversary of his
wedding day, and contrite, Mr.. With
pol, of Walthamstow, left the bulk of
his property to his wife, trusting" he
says. ''yea, | may say as | think, assur-
ing myself, that she will marry no man,
for fear TO meet with so evil husband
as have been to her."
Jasper Mayne at least considered him
self witty when he bequeathed to his
valet a WORKOUT portmanteau as it con-
tanned something, said the will, which
would make him drink. The excited
valet ripped open the trunk and found
red herring in it.
So, doubtless. did the Scotch gentle

said, she is sure to dissect them"

DIFFICULT PROBLEM.
TranscontinentalA Association Con-
sidering Vital Matters.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16. The Transcon-
tinental association met at the Windsor
hotel in this city to-day, with full rep
resentation. The matter of the Pacific
Mail subsidy was under consideration,
and is proving to be difficult problem
to solve. 1t is agreeable to various lines
to pay the same guarantee to the Pacific
Mail as has been paid in the past. but
no agreement as to the pro rata to be
paid by the different lines has yet been
reached. The Northern Pacific claims
that they have been paying too great a
proportion of the guarantee and are
making a fight to have their share of the
expense lessened. 1t has been decided
to let the matter of weighing of freight
on the Pacific coast stand as it is until
the next general meeting of the associa-
ton and the agents of the delivering
lines will continue to weigh the freight.
The charges that some of the lines were
paying commissions were not sustained
and the matter was dropped. The ques-
ton of rate cutting, it's thought, will be
amicably settled.

Men That Women Abhor.

The chivalric gentleman never boasts
of his popularity with the ladies, but
the coxcomb has the ineffable meanness
to brag, Of favors that he never has re-
ceived, and that he is an object of adj
miration in quarters where he is regard
ed as nuisance. Now and then, one
of these pretenders gets horsewhip-
ping from the indignant brother or
lover or husband of some lady whose
taste. as well as character, he has IL
belled, but many of the tribe-more's
the pity-go unwhipt of justice. We
recently heard of one of the genus who
is in the habit of procuring tie cartes

iting them to bis male acquaintance as

which car only be reached and ade-

WHY HORSES GO LAME.
A Coachman Gives Away Some Of
the Secrets Of the Stable.

A Coachman Gives Away Some OF
the Secrets of the Stable.
Chicago Tribune.
A coachman, who is up to the tricks
of his trade. says that there are more
ways than one for an honest coachman
TO make living.
"Of course be explained. "no boss
is goin' to buy horse without consult
ing his c0achman. If he does, that
horse will go lame, sure"
''HOW's that?'
'ItIl 20 lame sure, and the boss'lI
have to sell it for what he can get. and
lucky if he can get half the price. Then
he won't try to cheat an honest coach
man out of his commission. Not the
second time, See?"
1hereupon the honest cOachman ex-
planned why ''boss" who buys horse
without consulting the autOcrat of his
stable is sure TO have lame animal on
his hands.
''lt's this way" he remarked. Amy
honest man as respects himself will pull
a hair out of that horses tail and
thread 1t in needle. Then he'll lift
up that front leg of that horse and
'hunch up in his fingers the skin be-
tween the outer and middle tendons,
see? Shove the needle through, cut
off the hair at each end, and let down
the foot. There's nothing to see, is
there@'
Suppose not"
We'll, that horse'll go lame in twenty
minutes"

DIRECTORS.
FINANCIAL.
New York.

NEW YORK. Oct 16.-The stock market was
stronger to-day, material gains being the rule
all over the list. The chief impetus to the
new upward movement came from abroad
and the foreigners were liberal buyers of all
their specialtieS. the influences which led
TO this result were first the action of the
governors of the Bank of England in keep
ing their minimum rate of discount un-
changed at 3 per cent, the taking of the new
Russian loan in France and the general
easier feeling in all the European financial
centers. Domestic operators did not respond
with alacrity TO this movement on the part
of the foreigners, but enough new buying
appeared to keep moving along and to swell
the volume OF business TO respectable pro-
portions.
The material gains were generally among
the shares having an international market.
The rest OF the list followed at a safe dis
lance throughout the day. The great feature
of the trading was the sharp rise i'll New
York Central, which was not only more act
i've than for long time, but at one time
showed gain of 25s per cent over its last
nights figure, the buying being based on a
rumor that there would be an increase in the
dividend rate when in the next divi-
derd is declared. Atchison again led III the
dealings, but 1t was comparatively sluggish
when compared with other stocks, even
though it closed with material advance.
The general list and specialties were never
prominent in the market. The traders again
hammered the list, and succeeded in bring
movement, but prices were soon again NOV
ing upward all along the line From the first
half hour there was no real interruption to
the steady advances in the stocks mentioned.
The gains assumed material proportions as
the day wore along. The stronger, confident
tone was maintained to the end, and the
market finally closed quiet. but strong, at or
near the highest prices of the day. The i'm
porant gains include: New York Central
IS Louisville & Nashville h., Union Pacific
"a, Northern Pacific 10, Lake shore, Atchi-
sou and Missouri Pacific per cent each
The Post says a sharp movement has for
two days been in progress in the general
market, and American stocks, which during
several months have occupied the leading
position in that citys local speculation. have
now naturally felt the effect of The move
ment. This is equivalent to saying that the
present course of our market Is regulated in
Capel court, and not i'll Wall street which is
undoubtedly the case. Information is some
what meager US to the nature of the specu-
latiye movement i'll London, but thus far it
is probably like the recent movements here,
of purely professional character There
has been q short interest of considerable pro-
portion in London. as well as in New York,
and this was apparently forced to cover on
the favorable news of Yesterday
