then drove the knife up to the hilt into

TRADE AND THE TARIFF.
A Decided Disp iiion TO Wait Until

C,ngress Has Acted.
NEW YORK, Dec. S.-R. G.. Dun q
Company's weekly review Of trade to-
morrow will say:
Trade Of all kinds is waiting. There
is no visible Improvement, and on the
whole the indications are a little less
satisfactory than they were week ago.
The volume OF business measured by
clearing house returns outside OF New
York show a decrease of only IL per
cent. compared with last year, which
is encouraging, but as the statement
covers the payments from the first
month II may not correctly measure the
volume of new transactions. The re-
ports from other cities show a hesita-
ting trade almost everywhere, with
decided disposition TO wait until Con-
gress has acted on the tariff question
Hence the delay and the uncertainty are
likely TO last for some weeks.

rangements TO open a saloon in this town
aud leased the Tenaire frame block in
the central portion Of town. The sa-
loon was TO have been opened yesterday

rIble force, shattering all the windows
in the village. The front of the saloon
was demolished and the roof was blown

Some Remarkable Facts.
Senator Bate states that the committee
succeeded. to a great extent in getting at
the history and mcdus operandi Of the
dealing In cotton futures. and the inves-
legations developed some remarkable
facts, extending back TO 1872. at which
time the dealing In cotton futures was

In the discussions IN the Senate. They

when there were only seven and three
quarter million bales OF cotton grown In
the entire country. and only $4,000 bales
shipped to New York. II was the general
opinion OF the witnesses examined that
the dealings in futures caused greater
