How Received in Great Britain.

LONDON, November 15.-The Daily Tele-
graph publishes interviews on the result Of
the American election with representative
tradesmen of Great Britain.
The president and secretary of the Shelf
field chamber of commerce and the heads
of various firms in that city are represented
as being pleased at Mr.. Cleveland's victory,
but not sanguine OF any immediate result
in the way of tariff reform. Elk Master
Cutler Richmond is quoted as sayi g he
thinks that if any tariff reduction Is made it
Will be of selfish kind and will only benefit
America. In Liverpool keen interest was
evinced IN the result and it the chief
topic of discussion in the market, on the

owners especially, have suffered from the
Mckinley law. In addition TO the reduction
of the expectation of woolens, other articles,
like tin plate, formerly sent to Liverpool to
to be shipped by fast steamers, are now
shipped more cheaply from Cardiff and other
ports nearer the centers of production. In
the chemical trade revival of business is
expected as a result of the democratic VIC

BUSY TIMES.
Unprecedented Activity of the
Industries.
Scarcity OF Commercial Bills Cause Some
Decline In Foreign Exchange.-Govern-
ment Crop Reports Show Shrink
age of Figures of Yield.

NEW York, Novembe= Ar g. Dun q
Co.'s Weekly Review or Trade says:
The presidential election has interrupted
business to some extent IN all parts of the
country during the past week, but by no
means as much as usual, and at nearly all
points the volume of trade has been fairly
maintained, and the unprecedented activity
of the industries has only been interrupted
by the election holiday. The money mar
kets have not been disturbed, though a week
ago it was somewhat closer at several points.
and the foreign necessities and scarcity of
commercial bills have caused some decline
in foreign exchange. The government crop
report indicate smaller yields than was ex-
pected-of wheat only 5OO,O0O,O 900 bushels; ;
of corn only ZOO, 10000 bushels, and de-
cidedly small yield of cotton, Wheat is
stronger than week ago, with no great
change IN corn and oats. but moderate trad
ing IN either. Cotton has risen over half a
cent, with sales of over 485,OOO bales on
Thursday, alone exceeding by $4,000 bales
the largest previous record for any day.
The output of pig iron November 1 was
1S1, O82 tons weekly, an increase os 13, O55
tons during the month of October. The de-
hveries of rails for the year were small,
probably not over ], 250, 90 tons. Bar iron
was active, owing to car building, but plates
were quiet and new orders for structural
work are scarce. 1t has been the dullest
ever known for anthracite and the Reading
finds its terminals crowded, though only work
ing three days in tie week. The bituminous
trade has been active and increasing. Bust
ness IN dry goods is dull. Wool is active.
Many shoe factories Will require their full
capacity till after Christmas to ELL their
orders.
In spite of the movement of live stock at
Chicago it Is larger than year ago. Stocks
declined with some selling on Wednesday,,
but were strong with covering of shorts
Thursday. and the market continues in the
hands of traders. The indications from Eu-
rope are less favorable to imports of gold.
The business failures the past week were
30, compared with the corresponding week
last year, when the figures were 291.

immense one, and the flowers were placed
on & round platform IN the center with
promenades around and about through
them. All around the hall people sat IN
the open seats watching the pretty scene
made by the mass Of flowers and the beauti-
full costumes of the women. who walked
with their escorts in black and white. The
election returns were shown from the plat
form at short intervals, and every decisive
announcement of a victory for one party or
the other was bulletined as fast as the wires
brought 1T to the newspaper offices down
town. Besides the florists several million
aires had this time entered the prize compe-
titiOn, which is a feature of the show. The
prizes, apart from the honor ara worth hay
amount to over 5000 Horticulture in ST.
Louis has grown to some financial impor-
tance in the last ten years, and the florists
say that the lighthouses of the city now rep
resent value of more than 3, SEQ, 900.
There will be a great change IN the cleo
ton methods of st. Louis by the time an
other presidential election rolls around.
This election has shown that the vote of the
city has got beyond the laws which were
made to handle it ten years ago. In the
matter of registration this is particularly
true. Even by employing all the clerks he
could get into his offices, the recorder of
voters was unable to manage the increased
registration. he says that he will introduce
into the next legislature, bill dividing the
city into three election districts, with reg
1stration office IN each one. These offices
the voters of the city Will have to travel ten
miles to reach them even then, but the
change will make it possible to register the
entire vote of the city. This year, that could
not be done, aud thousands of men were
waiting their turn to get to the windows of
the office when the books had to be closed
to comply with the law, so that the poll-lists
might be printed in time to be used on elee-
ton day.
The stranger in st. Louis who, walking by
the den of the Yelled Prophet sees a CLEAN
of light inside the mysterious structure, and
asks what 1t means, Is rather surprised to
hear that men are there engaged in arrang-
ing the procession for next fall. But it Is
true. No sooner ID one pageant over than
work begins on the next. First, the subject
must be chosen. Then the designs are made
for the floats which illustrate the general
idea Then, trustworthy mechanics, who
have yearly salaries, and who know how to
keep secrets, go to work On the plans of the
designers. Their part of the work will be-
gin before the winter is over. The artists
who make the designs personally superin-
tend the building of the floats, so that the
most minute detail of the sketch shall be eX-
actly what Is wanted. All this is very ex-
pensive, of course. The man who stands on
the street on Velled Prophets night, and
sees the procession and the lluminations
that set it of has not the least idea that his
tour of pleasure has cost hundred other
men year of thought, and something like
a hundred thousand dollars.

win Not Deprive Cleveland Of any Federal
Parronage

WAsHHGroN, D. C., November 15.-It is
said at the White house that the president
has decided to pursue a strictly conservative
course in all matters relating to appoint
ments. he does not desire to lay the admin
lstrstion open to the charge of arbitrarily
depriving the incoming administration of
patronage a spirit of vindictlveneSs or re-
taliatlOn. Consequently he will extend the
classified service only to degree which he
had determined upon in case he was re-
elected. This decision, it is said, will not
affect more than half dozen positions in
each department It is stated that the pres
ident does not desire to take the government
printing Office into the classified service, as
urged to do, aud the bureau of printing and
engraving is naturally in its list now. Wi b.
IN the past three days each head of the de-
partments has been fairly beseiged by en-
ployes, who were not appointed under the
civil service law, to be taken into the CLASH
ned service some way. in order to afford
them protection. It is said that this class of
employees are much alarmed, as they fea
the coming administration will pursue a
more aggressive policy than Cleveland did
during his former tenure of Office.

TOPEKA, November 1.-The official can

day and, IN many counties, was not COM
pleted, even on Saturday. But few returns
from county boards have been received. The
three party committees disagree on their esti-
mates Jones and Breidenthal still claiming

republican defeat until the last official re-
turn Is in.
It is likely that Lynch and Edwards of the

pointmcnt to discuss with Secretary Tracy
the matter of steel deliveries for naval con-

ernor of the state prior to the meeting of
the legislature.
In view of the urgent need of money to
carry on and complete this important work,
so essential to our material interests. we are
extremely anxious to have an expression of
your views on the subject. We believe that
It is the general desire and expectation that
the state shall take charge of the work, max
ing such an appropriation as shall REIN burse
those who have advanced the money to carry
the work so far forward, keeping the state
fully abreast with all and in advance of
many, and sufficient to fully complete and
maintain such an exhibit shall attract the
attention of the world to our unequaled re-
sources and opportunities.
We think it is universally desired that this
shall be the work of the state, in order that
the state shall receive the honor, and that
the expense may be fairly and equally dis
Uributed.
We desire as early as possible an express
sion of your views, so that no time may be
lost in pushing forward the preparation of
the exhibits. We meet again on the Dist of
November, and we beg of you to advise US
prior to that date.
