THE STATE OF TRADE.
More Business but at Lower Prices
 Money in Abundant SuupIv

More Business but at Lower Prices Money in Abundant Supply. NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-R. G. Dunn &
 Go. 's weekly review of trade says: It ii
 undeniable that there exists considerable
 feeling of disappointment. More business
 but at lower prices, seems to be the rule.
 That the volume of trade is gradually in creasing, even in branches which have been dullest, there seems to be no doubt. But in an unusual number of cases in- creased sales appear to be the result of some yielding in prices SO that the average decline in prices of all commodities during the past week has been more than half of per cent. Money continues in abundant supply, the movement of products contin- ues large, and extraordinary exports in December, amounting to almost S120, ,000,- 900 against not quite $99, ,000, 900 last year, attract especial attention. The foreign trade of the country in 1891 was greater in exports and also in imports than that of any previous year.
 Tho business failures occurring through out the country during the last seven days, as reported by R. G. Dun 6 Co.,, number for the United States 253 and for Canada A, or 8 total of 297, as compared with totals of 32S last week and 33O the week previous to the last. For the correspond ing week of last year the figures were 320, representing PTS failures in the United States and AZ in the Dominion of Canada.

The Pope and His Suceessor-The
 Strike at Bilbao-Buria1 of the
 Grand Duke Constantine - Italian
 Claims.
 ROME, Jan. 29.-The fact that since the death of Adrian VI., in 1858, the popes have all been Italian seems to confirm the report that there exists a papal bull which prescribes that the pope shall be chosen from among the Italian cardinals. Con vinced of it's existence, the high clergy of France are making persistent efforts with the sacred college to secure it's abrogation. It is said that Cardinal Vicar Par oechi, in order to secure foreign influence in the next conclave, has allowed it to be understood that should he be elected pope he would dis pose of matters so az to have for success sor foreign pope, possibly French one, who, in the present condition of affairs, might be better able to cause the rights of the church to be respected.
 MADRID, Jan. 29.-The continuance of the strike at Bilbao is chiefly due to women melting the strikers not to yield. Forty women, headed by working girls waving knives and shouting "Hurrah for the strike!' marched through the streets of Ardonea to-day threatening the property of the mine-owners. The gendarmes guard ing the mines and iron works were openly threatened with death. The mine owners refuse to make concessions, being conf. dent that they will win, but they antici. pate serious conflicts. The local socialist papers are making violent attacks on the bourgeoisie.
 ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 29.-The remains of Grand Duke Constantine, uncle of the czar, were to-day removed to the fortress | of St. Peter and St. Paul, where they were deposited in the cathedral. The czar, Prince Oscar, crown prince of Sweden, and al the grand dukes in St. Petersburg follow ing the bier all the way on foot. Tn, czarins and the grand duchesses followed in carriages.
 ROME, Jan. 29.-It is stated the govern ment has sent to Washington list of tn, families that, according to the Italian claim, are entitled to compensation fo the loss of relatives by lynching at NeY Orleans and that Secretary Blaine ha
 promised the Italian government to submi the matter to congress with the expecta
 ton of favorable action. The amount o
 compensation in each case is to be left t
 the American government.

 BOSTON, Jan. 29.-Yale alumni to the number of 150 gathered around the tables in the banquet room of Hotel Vendome this evening upon the occasion of the dinner given by the Boston Alumni associ- ation in honor of the Yale football team of 1891.

Toasts were responded to by Judge How land, who talked of 'The True University Spirit;" Rev. Joseph H. Twitchell, upon "Heroism;" R. NJ. Appleton, on "rhe Referees" Professor John William White of Harvard, who spoke strongly in favor of intercollegiate athletics; Henry L. Higgin- son, who responded for Harvard; Thomas L. McClupg, captain of the victorious Yale team, whose appearance was greeted with terrific applause, and who gave great praise to the faithfulness and energy with which he was supported by his fellow member of the Yale eleven. Alfred fleming way spoke on College Culture" William T. Bull upon ''The Secret of Our Success;'' | Samuel J. Elder on Football in Ye Olden T.me;" George c. Hitchcock upon "Young Yale" Brief remarks were also made by several other speakers. Vocal music was rendered under the leadership of Elmer P.

Denial of she Report that the Servfc,
 Between Brooklyn and Boston is ts be Abolished.
 BROOKLYN, Jan. 29.- The Standard
 Union says: Inquiry was made at the of
 fees of the Long Island railroad in New
 York to-day regarding the statement that the Long Island & Eastern States line, forming the route between Brooklyn and Boston, would be abolished after February l. Benjamin Norton, vice president of the road, said: 'swhen Mir. Barton, late superintendent of the Long Island road ,as- sumed similar position with the NewYork & New England, it became apparent that a thorough reorganization of the train ser vice would be required. It was at first thought it would be necessary to temporar- lily discontinue the trains on the Long Isl and and Eastern States lines, but it has been found that this will be unnecessary. Not only will these trains be continued but in the spring day train will be placed on the route"
 Mir. Norton said 1t was untrue that the route had been a failure. On the contrary it had paid. The returns had not been large, but encouraging. He declined to say whether the statement that the New York and New England road was to be double-tracked between Hawleyville and Hartford as an additional aid to the Long Island and Eastern States line was true or not. It is said that there was so much freight on that portion of the route that the Long Island trains have not always been able to make schedule time and that the double-tracking of the road would overcome the difficulty
 sN... Al. New England road, but declined to make any statement at that time. He was there to attend meeting of the officers of the New York and New England road.

A MANDAmUs ON srAUB.
Railroad Commissioner Seymo
 Wants 10 Obtain His yalnrv

halroao Sommtsstoner Seymour Wants 10 obtain His yalnry.
 BRIDGEPORT, Jan. 29-This morning Clerk w. R. Shelton of the superior court signed a writ of mandamus by order oi Judge Robinson, to be served on Nicholas Staub, comptroller, in favor of Railroad Commissioner William o. Seymour oi Redgeheld. The commissioner claims that on the first day of July, 1891, he was ap- pointed railroad commissioner and after being duly qualified has acted in that ca- pacity in faithful manner. In his com plaint the complainant states that on Jan uary 20, 1892, he made a demand on said Staub that he draw an order in Seymour's form on the treasurer for the sum of S1, 500 for salary due him, and that said Staub refused to draw the order, thereby neg lecting his duty.
 The writ of mandamus is brought to compel Staub to draw Seymour's order on the treasurer for S1 ,500, which is at pres ent due and payable, or signify cause to contrary to the court on February 9, 1892 Attorneys Charles J. Cole and Austin Brainard have been retained by the ralator and the case will no doubt prove an inter- esting one.
