DUN'S TRADE REVIEW
a Large Volume of Trade Sus-
tanned by Confidence.
THE OUTLOOK ENCOURAGING.
Reports from Western and Southern
Points Seem to be Especially Favor
able-ENports and Imports,
Business Failures.

NEW YORK. May 1.-R. G. Dun & Co. S
weekly review Of trade says: Business is
large in volume ana sustained by general
confidence as to the future. Wheat and
-four exports from Atlantic ports continue
far behind those of last year, and while re-
not favorable, there is really no
reason TO anticipate any shortage of
unusual demand from abroad prior TO the
close OF the current crop year. The posi-
bic demand next year has to meet an eXcep-
tionally favorable crop outlook.
Reports of trade at Western and South
ern points seems to be especially en-
couraging this week. Better weather helps
almost all Western points, and at
Milwaukee trade was never better. At
Omaha and St. Paul very fair, at
Minneapolis flour is dull, but the lumber
trade is active, and at Omaha fair weather
helps business. Trade is quiet at Kansas
City, but improving at Louisville, Nash
vile and Atlanta, with decided strength at
St. Louis, though for the week barely fair
At New Orleans the great industries are in
better shape, and the demand for finished
products of iron and steel is more encour-
aging.
Wooden manufacturers still hesitate, ap-
parently because producers are inclined to
ask higher prices for the new clip of wool
than manufacturers care to pay, but there
is belief that consuming demands for goods
must be as large as it ever has been at any
previous year, and clothiers, though very
cautious heretofore, begin TO act upon that
belief.
The shoe trade is still retarded by the
uncertainty as to prices for the future, but
it is nevertheless fairly active.
Merchandise exports from New York
continue much larger than year ago, but
imports are also remarkably large and
there is prospect of heavy exports of gold
for some months.
Business failures occurring throughout
the country during the last seven days

gan.-[Luling Signal.
Hon. Horace Chiffon. whom Governor

| seven years old and native of Texas. He
commenced life as d printers devil, learned

try paper. Since his admission TO the bar
he has taken first rank among the lawyers
of the state. He is q man of great talents,
and his friends predict for him most bril-
liant career in the senate Laredo Gazette.
The fac5 that Horace Chiffon was once
an editor and is now a United States sem
ator recalls the remark of Joe Mulhatton

In the appointment of Hon. Horace Chill
ton of Tyler United States senator to fill
the unexpired term of Judge Reagan, Gov.
ernor Hogg has done credit to his Judgment,
reflected honor upon his great state, and
recognized those sterling qualities which so
pre-eminently distinguish Mr.. Chiffon as
one of the foremost, most brilliant and
brainy men in Texas The Times conf
IDENTIFY expects this young senator to take q
front rank in that distinguished and highest

thirty-seyen years of age, and has been a
personal friend and intimate associate of
Governor Hogg since their early boyhood
days. They, when mere boys, set type side
by side, and from that day to this warm
friendship has existed between the two,
and each has always contributed ali in his

On all the party issues, he stands just
where Reagan stood. Though never IN

been prompted by patriotism and guided
and guarded by honesty of purpose. Gov
