THE STATE OF TRADE.
II. G. Dun " Co.'S Weekly Report OF tho
Business Situation, u, .Fr


BUSINESS Situation.
.NEw YonK, Feb. 5.-R. G. Dun {; Co.'S
weekly review OF trade says;
In spite Of much dullncss and COM
plant in some important branches
trade is generally cnlarging. The east
docs not get full benefit because west.
ern business is largely met by western
distributing centres and that alone is in
.creasing heavily, while southern trade,
which is more largely met by distribu IL
ton from tho east is unusually dull.
Reports OF business from cities are q
shade moro favorable. At Boston the
dry goods jobDing trade is quite good
and moro orders for wool goods.
At Cincinnati tobacco is active at
good prices, dry goods orders are brisk
and building prospects ilattering.,
Cleveland reports improved trade with
rolled products inlarge demand @
Speculation in products has been
more active, but in spite Of the abun-
dance OF money the tendency OF prices
is lower. Tho great industries make
progress in spite OF low prices and a
production which seems to threaten a.
reaction. Pig iron shows little con-
cession at Philadelphia and some shad-
ing here by southern concerns and bar
is as dull as ever with a light demand
for plates. AT the higher prices de-
mnndcd by agents, coal is exceedingly:
dull. More activity is seen in dry goods
and a large number OF western buyers
are doing fair business.
The business failures occurring
throughout the United States during
the last week number $40 rs compared
with 207 last week. For the cores
pondins week last year, 306.

WANTS TO DIE.
Alicc Mitchell Frantic When She Is Told

Alicc Mitchell Frantic When She Is Told
sho VIII not bo Hanged.
MEMPHIS, TESN., Feb. 5.-Aliss Alice
Mitchell, the slayer OF Freda Ward, when
informed by her lawyers that she would
escape tho gallows became frantic, and
said that she looked forward to the day
when she would be hanged as the hap
piest OF all, as beyond the gallows she
would once more meet Frcda Ward. She
became terribly respondent and fears
are entertained that she will commit
suicide. Last night she was watched in
her cell by one OF her relatives.
The proceedings in the criminal court
this morning included tho formal pres
entation OF the plea OF present in
sanity" in the case OF the girl, which
was entered by her counsel on her
arraignment last Monday. 1t is as fol-
lows:
Comes the defendant, Alice Mitchell,
by her attorney, aud for plea says that
. she is not OF sound mind, but insane,
and therefore ought not to be tried
upon the charge Of murder contained
in the Indictment, and this. her plea OF
present insanity, she prays may be in
quired into and tried in accordance with
the statutes in such cases."
Tho inquisiton Of lunacy will follow
/ as matter OF course, unless the dc
fendants counsel conclude to withdraw
it, which is not at all probable. 1t will
sbo begun as soon as they get together
the testimony they wish to introduce.
The court will probably be asked ior an
order to take dispositions of experts at
distance which will consume con-
siderable time, SO that the inquiry will
not be inauguratcd for ten days to come.
