DUN'S WEEKLY REPORT.
Commercial Situation Standardization
Giving WAY to Confidence.

New YORK, June pr. &. Dun X
Co.'S weekly review OF .rade will say:
Signs of improvement in business
grow more frequent and distinct,
though there is nothing like a radical
change as yet. The hesitation which
has prevailed during the year gives
way but slowly to increased confidence,
the more slowly because of few fall-
urcs in woolens at Philadelphia and in
leather and shoes in the East. Yet,
the SOundnesS Of the commercial sltua-
ton is generally recognized, and the
hesitation which remains is rightly at
tributed mainly to uncertainties regard
ing the demand for gold from Europe
and the financial situation there.
The reports from other cities are on
the whole more encouraging than a week
ago. Failures give surprise at Boston
and delay confidence.
At Pittsburg BeSSemer products are
somewhat more active and the trade IN
glass fairly good Trade improves at
Cleveland and fall orders are very fair
and manufacturers busy at Cincinnati,
Ohio. At Chicago, trade in dry goods,
clothing and shoes is larger that a year
ago, with receipts of wool being double
last years; of wheat, more than double,
with slight increase in flour, cheese and
butter.
Reports from the cities in the North
west are uniformly favorable as to the
crops, and generally show some i'm
provemcn in trade. Southern reports
are less encouraging.
The speculative markets have de-
clined in almost every direction, but
without panic or excitement. Wheat
declined 4 cents; corn 81 cents; oats
AZ cents: and pork 30 cents per barrel.
In the iron manufacture Improvement
is still seen with better demand for
plates and bar iron and very active de-
mand for structural, the mills being
generally well employed. Tin has
yielded but shade, and lake copper is
bought only as necessities require. The
coal market is quiet. The yield in prices
for wool encourage larger consump-
ton and though sales are at present
small, prices of most grades are fairly
well held.
Money continues to return in large
volume from the interior and the mar
ket here is well supplied.
The business failures during the last
seven days number 234, with 253 last
week, and 202 same week last year.

As HE kicked the mud Of the great
city of his feet, and, as the report says,
picked his teeth with plain wooden
toothpick, Senator PETER on Tuesday

of MammOn and the Babylon of this repub-
lie | dislike its noises, its smells, its

And he turned his face toward the
setting sun. We will see the Senator

The Increase in Water Rates.

The Water Board, after a consider
alton of the matters brought to its at
tention by the committee OF business
men who protested against the increase
in rates for elevators, motors, etc., mas
notified the committee that it is willing
to forego the advance until the first OF
October, and that after that time will
adopt. in lieu OF the increase at first
proposed, a rate of nine cents per 1000
gallons, furnishing meters at the rate
of nine dollars each, for registering the
amount of water used.
1t is unders TODD that some Of the COM
mitteemen are not disposed to accept
the alternative, preferring the original
increase proposed by the Board.

Here's - Pointer.

In Chicago, where fuel and service are
much dearer than in Wheeling, the cost
per annum is $500 for each 1000
candle-power electric light. In Wheel
ing the average cost of each public gas
and oil lamp, of less than 2O-caLdle
power, is fraction over $25 per an
mum. Each electric light will supplant
at least three gas posts. Thus we have
better lighted city at less than one
half the cost. With these cold facts
before the gas consumer and taxpayer,
can he afford to vote against the city
owning her own electric light plant?

These Are Facts.

When a private corporation goes into
the business of organizing a campaign
against the city owning its own electric
light, is it not absolute proof that the
public should own its own plant? The
electric lighting of city is a natural
monopoly, and If the public wants the
greatest benefit from it at the cheapest
rate, it should own it. Is that not the
experience with illuminating gas? When
it was run by a private corporation it
cost $3.50 per 1000 feet. Now the con-
sumer gets it for 70 cents. And he
can get it fifteen per cent. less when
the public lamps and buildings are
lighted with electricity.

TIN PLATE IN CLEVELAND.


The Britton tin plate mill in Cleve-
land has figured extensively in pub
liShed reports as one of the concerns
that are alleged to be manufacturing
American tin plate. Requests have
come in to the Cleveland papers for in
formation as TO the size Of the works.
the number of men employed, the daily
capacity, the actual output, the charac-
ter of the tin plate, whether roofing ma
terial or bright plate" and the price
per box. After thorough investigation
the Cleveland PIeindCdIcr finds itself
prepared to answer all the inquiries
upon information given by Mr.. BRITToN
himself. 1t says:
The Britton tin-plate works is yet an es-
adjustment of the future. 1t is not making
tin-plate, hence a zero mark must be placed
against all the questions asked But there
is TO be tin plate mill, so MIR. Britton as
sured our representative, right here in
Cleveland. Ground is TO be broken for it's
erection at once. Tin-plate making will be
begun on the lSt Of October That is def
mite date which should not be forgotten,
because it will be month before the Ohio
election, November 3, and il will be import
ant to have some Britton plates in McKiu-
lev professions during the last month OF
the campaign
There is one important point in Mr. Brit
toms remarks. He says tin plate is now
making in several places and at a profit
Mckinley plate journals have repeatedly
reminded us that the Mckinley duty on tin
plate does not 20 into effect until July and
therefore has had no effect on prices. If
tin-plate is making at u profit under the old
duty what was the necessity for doubling
that duty,
