WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
R. G. DUN 6 CO.'S SUMMARY OF RE-
PORTS FROM ALL THE STATES.
Business Backward in the West Owing
Partly to Heavy Rains-Better Tone
in the South and East-Mohey
Abundant Everywhere.

NEW YORK, May 6.-R. q. Dunn d
Co.'s weekly review says:
Business has been much re-
tarded throughout most of the West
ern states by the unusual and con-
tinued rains. Movements of products
are thus delayed, though it is believed
temporarily.
Collections are retarded. Seeding
in many quarters is interrupted,
though on the whole fairly advanced
for the season, and distribution o
goods checked. Somewhat better
tone appears at the South, and bust
ness at the East is fairly active for
the season, although some lines are
dull and depressed.
Money is everywhere abundant, in
part because the demand is smaller
than usual, but this in a measure is
due to the unusual conservatism of
trade, buyers making many small
purchases and waiting more carefully
for actual distribution. This is peculi-
arly the case in the dry goods and
boot and shoe trade. The orders at
any time have ueen in most branches
moderate, but they have been repeat
ed again and again until the volume
of business is large. Shipments of
boots and shoes from the East is per
cent behind last year for the
earlier months of 1892, but have
been rapidly catching up and are now
little less than last year to date.
Stocks of woolens throughout the
country are believed to be unusually
light, and while clothiers were
slower than usual, having been occu-
pied beyond the usual time with the
spring trade, great business is ex-
pected. Flannels are improving and
Unprecedented distribution of dress
goods helps manufacturers.
Sales of wool this year at three
great markets have been 93,262, 1896
pounds against 81, 100, 726 last year, a
gain of per cent.
Inquiry tor cottons is large and I'M
proving, Western stocks being small
and trade in prints fair for the season.
The iron trade shows larger trans
actions, but no better prices. There
is larger business in plates, though at
demoralized prices. More inquiry is
seen for rails.
Wheat met the expected reaction,
ia 4 1-2 and recovering 2. Re-
ce4p.e aid exports both large, but
,tscks in the country far exceed any
probable demand. Corn has risen
IL, with small sales, and oats IL.
Cotton is 1-16 higher, though receipts
and exports exceed last years, because
of sensational accounts of decrease in
acreage.
Pork products shade lower and
coffee weak, 9-Sc decline.
Receipts of cattle at Chicago in
April were the largest ever known in
that month, exceeding last year by l5
per cent.
There have been large speculation
in tin but copper seems scarce for i'm
mediate delivery and lead strong.
Coal dull though firm. Exports for
the week little less than last year and
imports been little larger.
Business failures occurring through.
out the country during the last seven
days number 200 compared with a
total of 2l1 last week. For the CORES
ponding week last year the figures
are 242.

DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY.

There were deposited recently in
this department some bones from a
human skeleton and a Mexican ring
bit, with pure silver bride ornaments,
all of which were unearthed in Bas-
trop county six miles south of Elgin.
The only record of Mexican invaders
in that locality is when Gaona's di-
vision started from Bastrop for Nacog-
doches about month before the bat
tie of San Jacinto, but changed their
course aud went to San Felipe, where
they were when the battle was
fought. The elegant silver
ornaments and the severe bit
which caused horse to
carry high head and constantly
champ his bits, would indicate that
an officer of high rank had been
buried there and his accoutrements
had been placed in his grave.
CAPITOL NOTES.
A gentleman at the Capitol has a
letter from Mexican in South Texas
which states that the writer knows
positively that Catarino CARA is on
an island in Louisiana swamp. AS
there is no charge against CARA in
the state courts, the rangers are not
losing any sleep trying to find him.

terest. The silver men are not dis
posed to accept defeat and there are
again in circulation petitions urging
the rules committee to bring out an

124 names may yet be obtained, 113

members caring TO bring out an opposition candidate
Mr. Mckinley was put In nomination. ana se"eFa
members made complimentary speeches, ana theh ne
was declared the choice OF ihe committee by hech

His selection Is due TO the fact that he was con

The nomination OF President Harris the ah'iarrs'
forces had no objection whatever 10 him. ana u was

Minneapolis. June There has been con-
siderable figuring all day by the friends of both
candidates, and, as usual, the tables are always
regarded with some doubts BY the opposition.
But there has also been much quiet canvassins
by enthusiastic individuals on either SIDE, ana
comparisons Of results afford an excellent OASIS
for estimates Of the relative strength OF the great
rivals when the test comes TO he made ON the
first ballot In The Tribune estimate sent last
evening, 440 votes were allowed to .dr. Harrison.
sos 70 Mr. Blaine and ninety-threc votes wero
placed in the doubtful column. This was the re-
suit of q personal canvass among the several del
egations. No votes were assigned to either can
didate which in the least doubtful.
There have been changes both ways during the
last twenty four hours. 1t was only reasonable
70 suppose that those who were not for
Mr.. Harrison al the start might prove to he for MI
Blaine hence there was ample number for Mr..
Blaine to draw from TO secure majority,
though Mr.. Harrison had only to secure
10 votes in order to win the nomination. The
estimate given below embraces all the votes classed
last night as doubtful, and this shows that MIR.
Harrison's numbers are swelled TO 473, gain Of
IS from the doubtful column, while TO Mr.. blaine
are allowed IS from the doubtful list and his
column shows only a total Of 423, still lacking
