TRADE REVIEW.

Of the Country.

weekly Statement Of the General Business
OF the Country.
NV YORK, May 1j.-R. g. Dun n
iCo., weekly review Of trade saws
| The outlook IS more favorable rs
ceprlng large exports of gold and the
advance in bank of England rates to
. per cent previously for the purpose
of drawing more gold from this
country. Receipts for custom duties
at New York are largely in silver GER
tificates and new treasury notes, no
less than GA 1-2 per cent for the first
ten days of May, but it is proper to
remember that the new treasury notes
being redeemable in gold or silver
coin with provision of the law elm
pOwering the secretary to maintain
the purity of gold and silver
coin and are in practice redeemable in
gold and in value are equal to green
backs. 1t is most favorable symptom
that the continued exports of gold
caused no panic in this market. 1t is
significant fact that the exports in
! April were about double the same
time last year in value.
Prices showed an inc' ease in oil and
provisions, but decrease in cattle
and breadstuffs. Yet in breadstuffs
the decrease was wholly in corn, and
the surplus of wheat available for eX-
port was May about $4,000, 900 bush
els. The export of wheat from the
Atlantic ports have been much smaller
than year ago until last week, when
an increase OF 10 per cent appears.
The corn decrease is heavy of course,
The speculative markets have acted
peculiarly during the past week,
wheat advancing A cents per bushel on
reports not substantiated on injury to
crops in the Northwest, while corn has
declined 3 cents and oats 2 l.2 cents on
moderate sales.
Pork, lard and hogs are also lower
and heavy decline appears in butter.
Cotton, coffee and oil are unchanged,
and there is nothing remarkable as to
cotton because a much the largest
crop ever picked is going to the mar
ket more rapidly than ever before at
this season. Foreign manufacturers
appear to be laying in a large stock
because prices are close to the lowest
known for forty years, while the con-
sumption abb Dad Is enormous and there
are some signs that the production OF
goods exceeds the demand. Reports
from other cities show a moderate dis
tribution.
South the trade is reasonably dull
with cotton in light demand: AT New
Orleans sugar is inactive. Industries
genera are active except where in
terrupted by the strikers in the building
trades as at New York.
The final prospect just now turns
attention upon the export of gold.
Merchandise exports are for the time
comparatively small, $12, TAO, 900 in two
weeks from New York. against $15,-
$50, 900 last year, while the imports
continue remarkably large.
Business failures occurring through
out the country during the last seven
days number 237 as compered with
total of 242 last week, for the CORES
ponding week of last year the figures
were 212.

Ell PAso, Tex, May l5.-In the last
forty-eight hours the Rio Grande has
risen about two feet, but the water has
not affected the more populous places
of the city. So far, but few American
families have suffered, as only Mexicans
reside in the flats. Late yesterday
afternoon the Misses Villas, with two
escorts, attempted to have boat ride,
when they were caught by the current
and turned over. But for the heroic
conduct of some gentlemen three of the
party would have been drowned, as
they were carried under the two rail
road bridges and the newly erected
pohtoon on which the street ca
passengers are transferred.

BLAINE AND THE GOVT.

The Doctor Says the Secretary is Better
and Will Soon Be Up.
NEW YORK, May 16.-Dr. Dennis
was at the residence of Mrs. Damrosch
at 8 o'clock this morning. After the
physician had paid visit to Secretary
Blaine, he gave out the following:
MIR. Blaine had a very good night
and is free from pain this morning. He
seems much better and, while his feet
are still slightly swollen, the attack of
govt is subsiding and in few days he
ought to be able to be up and about
the house. He enjoyed a good break
fast this morning and seems very com
Portable"
Mrs. Blaine, who was seen, saws that
she did not think that Blaine's illness
was at all serious, and added in sup
port of that fact that she had not tel
egraphed to either of their sons. Both
Mrs. Blaine and Mrs. Damrosch spoke
in a cheerful manner about the condi.
ton and early convalescence of Mr..
Blaine.
NEW YORK, May l6.-Mrs. Blaine
when seen this afternoon said she was
unable to understand why the
good people of Washington were SO
much exercised over the condition of
Mr.. Blaine. While the secretary is in
Washington, Mrs. Blaine says he is Of
ten attacked by govt and that he has
frequently been confined to his room
for several days at time.
1.-The plans, Mrs. Blaine added, "for
her husbands departure for Washing
ton have been abandoned day after
day. This weather is greatly against
the subsiding of govt, and she con-
cluded by saying, that in all probable
ity it would be week before Blaine
could leave for the capital"

CAUGHT AT 1T.
The Son Of the Commissioner of Pensions
Kicked Out for Cause.

The Son Of the Commissioner Of Pensions
Kicked Out for Cause.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-Green B.
Raum, Jr., son Of the commissioner of
pensions has rendered his resignation
as assistant chief clerk of the pension
bureau and the same has been &C
cepted. For some time past rumors
affecting official conduct of Raum, Jr.,
have found their way to Secretary
Noble but not until just before his
departure for st, Louis, about one
week ago, did he come into the pos
session of facts that would warrant
him in taking official action in the
matter. He then learned upon
what appeared to be perfectly
trustworthy testimony that Raum,
Jr., had been party to certain Grim,
inal and unlawful proceedings in
connection with appointments to
minor positions in the pension bureau.
The temporary appropriation to his
own use of $72 belonging to the gov
eminent is also charged against him.
Raum, Jr., it is said, stoutly protested
his innocence of the charges made
against him, but the secretary thought
that at all events his usefulness in the
pension bureau was at an end so de-
termined to require his resignation.
