BUSINESS GAINING,

But It is Very sIow-R. G. Dun s. Co.'s
woolGly Review of Trade.
New York, Nov. l7.-R G. Dun &
Co. in their weekly review OF trade says:
Businessis gaining, but it is a constant
complaint that the improvement is
slow. This is because very few realize
how heavy load business has to drag
after it in climbing up again. Legis-
lative uncertainties weigh heavily, but
other loads many overlook. The past
depression, with trading and manutac-
turing failures, involving more than
$685., 100000 in nine months, besidos
banking failures OF enormous liabilities.
and failures OF railway and other cor
porations having heavy indebtedness to
individuals aud firms, involve continual
embarrassments which men are prone
to forget.
The extraordinary shrinkage in pur-
chases for consumption, II lesseninC,
has still made it impossible for many
firms to 90 on as before, and the largest
failure OF the week, that Of the Thurber-
Whyland Company, illustrates embar'
assmentI which cannot be terminated
in week or month.
The condition OF oiindustries improves,
but they wisely wait the revival OF pnr-
Chases by consumers. Twenty.four
works OF all kinds have wholly or in
part resumed, against fourteen closing.
Yet less than half the iron working
power is active, and out oil ninety'nine
WOODEN works at tho epst, only ten are
working iull time, while forty-fye were
shut down November !, the production
for four months in mems wooens being
l4.34S, i3l yards, against 25,5j4300 last
year. State factory inspectors report
that out oil 10000 persons employed in
textile mills in Philadelphia, only
Il 500 are at work.
Tie failures for the week have been
S24 in the United States, against 205
last year.

That's What's tho Matter With the PrcsI-
dent-You Can Find 1t in Your Dictionary.
New YoRK, Nov. 1E-An afternoon
paper says:
Light is beginning to dawn upon the
object OF President Cleveland's hurried
and mysterious visit to the city on We'd
nesday.
Notwithstanding the statement that
Mr. Cleveland is enjoying the best OF
health, it was understood today such is
really not the case. The rumors have
been traced to prominent surgeon Of
this city, who is in the confidence OF Mr..
CIeveland's professional advisers. He
has stated that the real object OF Presi-
dent Cleveland's visit here was to get
advice about coccygeal abscess, which
he has.
"Dr Bryant, Mr.. Cleveland's physi-
clan. when seen this morning, refused
to affirm or deny the rumor about his
patients new a allliction."

WASHINGTON, p. c., Now T.-Sccre.
tary Gresham, in hurried moment of
departure from the state department
to-day, gave few words ofintormation
on the Hawaiian question to an Asso-
cia.ed Press reporter. He said with
some emphasis that there was to be
nothing further given out on the sub
icc,. The much talked OF Blount re-
mort is not to be given to the public. 1t
was indeed, strongly intimated that
there was nothing in the report that
was not Indicated in the secretary's let
,or to the President.
This disposes Of the prevalent
thought that Mr.. Blount's report is to
be made public. 1t is now said that
this report is not to be given out be-
cause there is nothing in it that has not
already been published in substance.
rs it true, Mr.. Secretary" he was
asked, that the department has tug
outside OF San Francisco harbor to gain
time in bringing dispatches from Min
lister Willis into port?
"Why. certainly it is not true" said
Secretary Gresham. ut is nonsense"
He went on 10 say that not only was
this not true but it was not true that
ANYTHING further had been dispatched
TO Minister Willis. This assertion OF
the secretary seems to be meant as an
intimation that Minister Willis has re-
ccived his instructions in full aud Is
fully equipped to act in all contlngen'
cies.
Where Willis is known he is highly
regarded as a man OF just instincts and
much national pride, and his friends
say nc is not apt to do anything rash II,
after taking time to look the situation
over lie finds that the Presiden: and
secretary OF state have been misled. He
is, on tho other hand, prompt to act,
and ii his orders are imperative, If he
has accepted the mission with the un-
derstanding that he is 10 perform this
service regardless OF consequences,
which all who know him doubt, or if he
is left with discretionary powers, and
after investigating the situation he
should decide that it was in accordance
with the requirements oil justice, and
in no wise derogatory to the interests
and dignity OF the government which
he represents and Queen Lilliokalani,
he would 20 to the greatest lengths his
instructions would justify in perform
ing that service.
There is enough coming to the sur.
face to indicate that the question will
receive great deal Of attention at the
hands of Congress during the approach
ing session. and it is very evident that
there will be some very sharp speeches
upon the subject even though Congress
should take no action OF any kind what

Tho Committee Empowered to Accept n

Compromise Agreement Expected.
PlTrsBUReH, Pa, Now 1.-THE
AmRlgamaied Association Of Iron and
Steel Workers did not conclude its ex-
traordinary session until long after
midnight.
Before adjournment conference COM
mittees wece appointed to meet the
youngstown manufacturers and the
iron and steel sheet manufacturers and
effect compromise.
The sheet mill committee was EN-
powered to accept n straight reduction
Of 10 per cent, and the Youngstown
committee was instructed to make the
best terms possible on the pudding and
fnishers' scales. Manufacturers want
a 81 50 pudding rate, and the commit
tee will endeavor to compromise on
81 10. The present rate IS So, and all
the manufacturers in the country who
have signed the latter will be entitled to
the reduced rate,
On the finishing scale fair cut will
be agreed to, but the committee will
not have power to meet the scale Of the
tinishers' union.
The reductions will effect 43, 900 men
in the pudding, finishing and mer-
chants departments, aud seven
teen thousand in the sheet
mills. Tho delegates realize that
in the present depressed condition of
the trade concessions were imperative
and disposition was manifested to
meet the manufacturers half way in
everything.
