X q pun,s Review of Trade.

New YORK, September l5.-R. G..
Dun g. Co.'S weekly review OF trade
says:
Returns from every part OF the coun-
try show decided improvement. Hope
full feeling prevails, money grows aound-
ant at speculative centres aud some
what easier for commercial purposes.
Weekly failures have declined about
half in number and more than hall In
amount OF liabilities. The number OF
establishments reported as resuming
work, 81 wholly and 90 In part, still ex-
ceeds the number closing, 80 for the
past week besides 10 reducing force, so
that the hands employed have some
what increased. The number OF uRem-
ployed is still very large. Basiness Is
pulling itself together, and even the
crop report has caused little depression
in stocks.
Industrial improvement is largely In
cotton and otherwise appears scarcely
more satisfactory than last week.
About two thirds OF the Fall River
mills are operating, but at reduction
OF 10 TO Is per cent in wages. Of the
establishments resuming eleven were In
this manufacture aud FIVE In knit goods.
or wooden mills, ten stopped wholly
and six In part while
three woolen and two carpel
mills resumed. Heavy purchases OF
wool began at the end OF last week In
part apparently speculative, and at the
three chief markets the total OF the
week was the highest since May /,
though only 1856, 800 pounds against
s. s12, 900 for the same week last year.
Several shoe factories have started up
in part.
The output of pig iron September l
proves to have been So, 502 tons weekly,
a decrease Of s.94O since May !, indi-
eating that only As per cent. OF the
prod uctiye force was employed. Sales
Of grey forge at Birmingham for 81
and of steel billets for $3.50 at Pitts
turg, support the statement that re-
sum ption OF work In many cases Is al
the expense OF great sacrifice In price.
But in this industry business revlves
more vigorously at the West than at the
East.
The failures reported this week have
been only 314, against 321 for the pre-.
vious week In the United States, AID
154 last year.

mIttee room was severely taxed to-day,
as fifty gentlemen representing various
industries were on hand.
The first speaker was Maurice Lowey,
OF Helnze, Lowey & Co., OF New York,

tion OF the duties on cotton goods.

posed to the system Of ad yalorem duty,
and asked that the duties be permitted

the tariff were reduced 1t would be
necessary to decrease the wages OF the
workmen," said he.
]. o. Connell, New York importer
OF knit goods, wanted a specific duty.
He said the ad Valorem duty opened
too many avenues OF fraud.
Gustav Blumenthal, OF New York,
was heard I'm the interest OF the import
alton OF buttons. He thought the
tariff on buttons was too high, and said
that the tariff under the old law was
sufficiently high to protect manufac-
turers here.
Richard Rauit, of New York. ap-
peared IN the interest OF the importers
OF felts. He wanted felts transferred
to the wool schedule. and said he was
willing to pay whatever tariff was i'm
posed on wool.
Charles Brice, of New York, gold
beater, argued for high protective
tariff on the industry he represented.
II. NJ. Reyser and w. Ii. Rutter, I'm
porters OF kid gloves, opposed the pres

material entering into the manufacture
OF straw hats admitted free OF duty.
f.. r. Riddle, representing the linen
trade association OF New York, said
that this association imported rs per
cent OF all the linens which are import
ed into the United States. The asso.

WILL DEMAND A BIG REDUCTION.

Iron Manufacturers Will Insist on Cut
of 90 and 25 Per Cent. All Round-Ihe
AmaIRamated Association Weakened
PIrTsBURG, PA, September 15.-When
the the joint scale conference OF the
Amalgamated Association and Iron
Manufacturers re-convene next Mon
day the workmen will be sur
prIsed to ind that instead OF q ten per
cent. reduction In wages OF the employees
in the guide, bar and 10-inch depart
mepts, the manufacturers will ask re-
ductIon Of from 20 to 25 per cent. in all
departm ents, including boiling and
finishing.
This will reduce the wages OF the
boilers, or puddlers to $500 per ton.
Under the present scale they are re-
ceiving $500 per ton.
The manufacturers say the condition
of trade will not justify higher wages,
and that the employees in several plants
have already agreed to work at the re-
duced rate.
The Amalgamated Association OF Iron
and Steel Workers in this district has
been greatly weakened by the numer-
Gus strikes OF the last two years.
An investigation by local paper TO-
day shows that OF siIty-four iron aud
steel mills in Pittsburg and vicinity
thirty-two are now being operated on
non-union basis.
Five years ago nearly all OF these
plants were working under ADalga-
mated Association rules.
Since then many manufacturers nave
broken over the traces and the organiza-
tion is in a worse condition than at any
time since its formation.
Yesterday the Amalgamated en-
ployes at the Pittsburg Forge and Iron
Com pany decided to 60 to work inde-
pendeutly OF the Association, and to-
day Brown & Co., of the Wayne Iron
Company, issued notice that the union
will not be recognized in the future.
An effort will be made to resume next
week. About 500 men are employed at
this plant.

NEW YORK, September 15.-The
Heynld's correspondent at BuenOS
Ayres cable the following account
under date OF yesterday, OF the bonn
bardmeut OF Rio &c Jauelro and the
forts 10 the haroor:
The rebel fleet, under CssiOtiO Jose
Mello, fulfilled his threat and opened
fire on the forts commanding the en-
trance 10 Rio de Janeiro yesterday.
After bombarding the forts the guns OF
tho hostile feet, the AQuidahan, the
Republica and the TrajanO were turned
on the city. The arsenal was apparently
the main point Of attack, and many
shells were thrown at Il. The lombard
mept Of the city Of Rio lasted from II
o'clock In the morning until o'clock IN
the afternoon. But little damage was
caused. The ships opened hie on the
CITY again to-day, but the result was
the same as yesterdays attack.
A message sent by President PeiTotio
10 the Brazilian minister here, states
that it is expected that the rebel ships
will surrender ia q few days. Brazilian
residents here, however, doubt this.
Surprise is expressed here that the for
eign feet in the harbor would permit
the bombardment OF the city. From
other sources il is learned that the city
Is Quiet. Brazilian cOnsuls here and in
Montevido dispatch vessels freely for
Brazilian ports. Their operations after
arriving at Rio are carried on under
the protection Of the war ships u the
pationalit, Of the flag they carry. Tele-
graphic service is still suspended. The
German gunbOats. the Alexandria and
Arcona, have sailed for Rio.
An attempt by the rebels to MAJ a
