FAVORABLE TRADE REPORT

An Enormous Volume of Business
Transacted, Notwithstanding the
Depressing Influences OF a Presi-
Dental Election.
NEW YORK, Nov. Ar. G. Dun & Co. g
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Even in the last week before a presi-
dental election business has continued
very active; indeed, the volume is far be-
yond any precedent for similar period.
Yet the coming election has plainly dim
inished business in two ways, multitudes
have been diverted from trade to political
activity and many more have chosen to
postpone transactions until the political
uncertainty has been removed. The fact
that even under such circumstances trade
has been of enormous volume shows how
powerful is the impetus toward activity
and expansion. The people are clearly
buying more goods than ever before. and
in some branches manufactures are real
iztng slight advance in prices. Moneyis
closer at some western points, but nowhere
is stringency seen and there is no sppre-
hension as to the immediate future.

THE BUTLER CASE.
A Decision as Interesting as the Ca,

Decision as Interesting as the Case
Itself.
Boston, Nov. 4.-General Butler is left
both winner and a loser by the decision
which Judge Holmes of the supreme court
rendered to-day in a suit brought against
the general by the G. F. Jewett Publishing
company to recover damages for an alleged
breach of contract between General Butler
and the publishing company, by the terms
of which it was alleged General Butler
agreed to write his memoirs and let the
Jewett Publishing company publish them.
The case in one form or another has been
pending in court for over a year and has
been prolific of interesting incidents, in
Guiding one or more suits for alleged libel.
Judge Holmes holds, first, against General
Buffers contention, that the general did
make a contract with the CT. Jewett Pub
fishing company and that he has broken it.
Next he decides this time in favor of Gen
eral Buffers contention that tie contract
was worthless to any publisher, because
the book is not a success and that no dam
ages ale recoverable His honor further
decides to hear the parties on next Monday
on the question whether the G. F. Jewett
Publishing company incurred any expense
on account of the contract, and If they
prove that any loss has resulted in that
direction they may recover such dam

that the New York, New Haven and Hart

midnight into Boston at $50 a. M, instead
of 7 a. M, thus making better mail and

PROSPECTS OF A RACE

For the Americas Cup-A Committee
Conference.
NEW York, Noy. 4.-The New York
Yacht clubs Americas cup committee con-
ferred to-day with q. Maitland Kersey, who
represents Lord Dunraven's interests in
negotiations for an international yacht
race, and the result of their conference
was cabled to Lord Dunrsven. General
Paine, chairman of the committee, came
from Boston to attend the meeting and 1t
is understood that the prospects for a race
have frightened. Lord Dunraven wants
to hold the cup If he wins it subject to the
same conditions as those under which he de-
sires to challenge. As this match will be
arranged under the "new deed" it Is
thought that he may invite an English
yacht club to look favorably upon the doc
ument when it finds it can accept chal-
lenge under the terms of the deed. This
phase of the matter is what Mr.. Kersey
sent to Lord Dunraven as a result of to-
days conference. This does not, however,
answer the statement made recently by
Lord Dunraven that he doubted the legal
right of the New York club to waive the
dimension clause of the deed,

is A VERY SICK MAN,

Clinton w. Pratt, Pilot OF the @. H.
Northam, Seriously HI with SMALL
pox-It Is a Genuine Case OF the Con-
fluent Type-Removed From the
Hospital Yesterday Afternoon.
A case of genuine smallpox has developed
in this city and the patient is now an in
mate of the hospital for contagious diseases
at Springside farm. The patient is Clinton
W. Pratt, pilot on the steamer G. 81.
Northam. Last Tuesday Pratt WAS taken
sick on the boat on her trip from New
York, and upon his arrival In this city
went to the general hospital, where he was
admitted, placed in one of the wards, and
has since been treated by the hospital
physicians.
Yesterday DR.. @. A. Lindsey was called
in and after an examination of the patient
decided that Pratt was suffering for gen.
uine case of smallpox. Later Health OFF
Ger Wright came, saw the sick man and
also pronounced the disease smallpox.
There was lively time when these opin-
ions were expressed removing the patient
into the isolated section of the hospital. 1t
is claimed by Health Officer Wright that
hospital patients with who Pratt mingled
taking the disease. The disease was not
far enough developed.
Word was sent at once to Superintendent
Sanford of the almshouse to prepare the
hospital for contagious diseases for the re-
| ception of Pratt and he was removed there
yesterday afternoon.
Pratt is about fifty two years of age, bis
home being in Essex. Every precaution
will be taken by the health officials and
| the hospital authorities to keep the disease
from spreading. The doctors at the hos
pital will closely wstch those who sssoci-
ated more or less with Pratt during the
five days he has been in that institution.
Yesterday afternoon, after Pratt had been
removed, the other patients in the ward at
the hospital were removed and the ward
will be thoroughly cleansed and fumi-
gated.
1t WAS stated last evening by Health OH
Ger Wright that Pratt was a very sick man
aud was suffering with a genuine case of
continent smallpox and not q case of vsrio.
loid. At the hospital for contagious dis
eases he was made as comfortable as pos
sible, and has one of the best trained
nurses in the city attending him. 1t is
| thought that he contracted the dread dis
ease around the docks in New York city.
The hospital has been practically quaran-
tined and for the next twelve days no one
who is at present an inmate of the institu-
ton will be permitted to depart, nor will
any new patient be received except in
special cases, and then only upon advice
of the attending physician and the consent
of the patient. In all such cases both the
physician and patient will be told that q
case of smallpox had been in the institu
ton and, If, notwithstanding this informa
ton, the patient shall decide to enter he
will be vaccinated Immediately upon admis
sion and will not be allowed to leave until
the twelve days quarantine has expired. A
large number of the patients were yester
day vaccinated and the rest will be to-day

CANADIAN CATTLE.

Great Britain's Imports Very Small
The Restrictions Still In Force.
LONDON, Nov. Mr.. Gardner Gays that
though cattle formed one of the largest of
Canada's exports Great Britain got only 2
per cant. of her meat supply from that
country. The restrictions, he further said,
would not prevent Canada from sending
fat stock subject to slaughter at the ports.
Some farmers, graziers and poor people in
Scotland would be affected by the restric-
tons, but after consulting with his col
leagues he had concluded that the immun-
ity from cattle disease which had been at
tanned after 30 much loss must not be
sacrificed.

regard to the significance of the recent al

the statements made by himself at the time

mated, but that each gives something to
the other, which neither had before; that
it is the intention of the management to

the approval of the communities they

whom they represent.

truth, that many of the friends of the

largely interested in the stock of the New
England they do not now control its man
agement and operation, and therefore no
promises or predictions as to the future of
the property by outsiders should have any
weight. I feel justified, however, in say
ing that as the interchange of bus
mess between the two great systems of
Reading and Boston and Maine roads will
be large if the proper arrangement can be
made with the New England and a very
considerable portion of twill pass over it.,
as the connecting link, it certainly must
| prove of advantage to that property. So
/ far as the recent speculation in railroad

friends have the slightest interest in the
market fluctuations. Our sole aim will be
to build up the roads. The alliance does
not contemplate the guarantee by one road
to the other of any thing except the gem
eral direction of each.
