smash in the indus bcks week
ago, the failure Re firms aud
banks, and of the National Cordage
Company, and the largessx decline in
stocks known in any week Since 1873,
have been followed by surprisingly lit
tie disturbance. Business has shown
remarkable soundness and strength un-
der such a strain. InteriorN money
markets are growing tighter and
more cautious, but no such stringency IS
vet seen as to check general trade,
which appears to have improved. Iron
has grown weak with slower demand
for manufactured products, but the
glass trade is fair. Better weather
helps dry goods at Cincinnati AT
Cleveland trade is good to fair. The
weekly iron output May 1st shows 200
tons increase for the month and is 3.70O
greater than year ago, while
unsold stocks decreased 1l,0O0 tons In
April. Good pig iron is scarce, butsome
Southern brands are pressed for sale,
Large quantities depressed tin to $40. 80
and lead to S2.S5. Coal Is quiet.
The failures for the past week were
ESQ in number. against IT'S last year,
and In the United States 257, against
$50. There were only eleven with rating
over 100000.

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE annual report
of tho Board Of Directors of the Wesung-

pany TO the stockholders, was given out
from the compauy's New Yorl- ONCE this
afternoon. II is presented as a financial

The report in part says: There has been
profit from manufacturing OF Sl.49l,-
Sl7.l5, and from other sources Of Sll2,.
766 go, making a total of the year OF
81, go, 5S373. Our competitors have copied
our plans and iRfringed many of our pat
ents, notably those relating to power
transmission and many important de.
tails essential to the successful
operation Of alternating currents apparatus
for the distribution OF electricity for light
and power purposes, for which we have
brought suits for arrangements. The con-
ndence expressed in the last annual report
in the superior merits of the
Company, and in the strength
of its patents has been fully justified by
the results of the years operations; ana
we feel no apprehension as 10 the outcome
OF suits now pending, or which may be
brought by its competitors.

GREEN GOODS MEN BEATEN.
A Pennsylvania Greenhorn Who Was Not
so Green as He Looked.


HAzLEToN, PA, May 12.-To James
Gillespie, OF Freeland, belongs the
credit OF beating green goods men at
their own game. Gillespie Is usually
employed as a collector of commercial
agency. His income nets him a modest
living. To an intimate friend on last
Sunday he impaired the information
that be was negotiating with New YORK
green goods mea and he was goibg TO
make an effort to beat them. be went
on Monday and returned to-day, and In
evidence OF his success, now EXHIBITS
two rolls of money. One contains s., 500
in crisp, genuine bank notes, The
other to all appearances is thu same,
but on examination shows IL TO
be nothing but green paper. Gillespie
began q correspondence with green
goods men q year ago. He had thor
ough knowledge of the methods EN-
ployed by them. A month ago this re-
gion was flooded by the green goods lit
erature and be received one OF their cir
culars. He opened communications, re-
cecsived code of signals for identified
tion aud vas instructed to use the tele-
graph, Newark, n. j., was the point to
which he was instructed TO telegraph.
All messages that he received came
from New York. He was TO put In $500
and receive $500 Of the stuff which
would defy detection" II was ar
RANGED that Gillespie should go TO
Newark, and when an early train pull
ed into that city yesterday morning
Gillespie and friend alighted from 1t,
Gillespie carried carpet bag and an
umbrella. He was met at the station
by a man who had q coupe In waiting.
When he introduced his friend there
was some hesitation exhibited on the
part OF the men within the carriage,
but il was not serious. After
driving for about fifteen miles
the cab was halted before hotel and
the three entered. They were here
met by another man. Again II was
necessary for Gillespie to explain that
his com panion had in his clothes hard
cash aud was willing TO make deal.
After being conducted to another room,
the first man whom they met exhibited
aud counted roll Of money containing
81, 500. His confederate suddenly ap-
peared, but the patrons kept an eye on
the roll, and before the film fam game
of exchanging the money for bogus
paper could be accomplished Gillespie
held the wad and offered his own ex-
change. The dealers again tried TO
divert attention, but to their surprise
found themselves looking Into pair Of
pistols. Believing they had been duped
by detectives, the men made dash for
the door. In their haste they dropped
the roll Of bogus paper which was in
tended for their victims. Pocketing
both rolls, Gillespie and his companion
escaped through q window and arrived
home last night. This Is the story he
tells, and he has both kinds Of money 10
prove his words.

seen everywhere, and blue suits with
military braid are at a premium, and
these dresses are just as sure TO break
out in the west as they did here. 1t Is
the unconscious effort TO show how
much the girls admire a uniform. They
like a uniform in the abstract. and they
like il in the application. 10 has al
