WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.
r. G. Dun & Co. on the Condition Of the
Business Of the Country.

R. G. Dun & Co. on the Condition Of the
Business Of the Country.
NEW YORK, Dec. Sums Weekly
Review says: Trade OF all kinds is
waiting. There is no visible improve
ment, and on the whole indications
are a little less satisfactory than a
week ago. The volume of business,
measured by clearinghouse returns
outside of New York, shows decrease
of only 10 per cent compared with
last year, which is encouraging, but as
the statement covers payments for the
first of the month they may not cor
rectly measure the volume Of new
transactions. Reports from other
cities show hesitating trade almost
everywhere with decided disposition
to wait until congress has acted on
the tariff question. Hence the days
of uncertainty are likely to last some
weeks.
Wheat has risen shade on lighter
receipts. Receipts of corn are unusu-
ally large. Movement of cotton is
not encouraging to holders, and APP
pearances indicate larger supply or
plantations than expected. Prices de-
cliLe1 an eighth, with strong evidence
of continuing heavy receipts is weary
ing to holders.
Cotton manufacturers do better than
other branches at present and yet have
not very healthy appearance. De-
mand is strong and prices of goods
barely maintnined. In wooden goods
the sense of disappointment is very
clear and there seems no reason to ex
pect any decided recovery until con-
gress has acted on the tariff question
Several works have stopped production
during the past week and others are
running only to fill orders which will
soon be exhausted. No quotablt
change in prices is noted but sales o.
wool for the week are much less thar
the corresponding week last year
Demand for speculative purposes con
tinues and large proportions of the
sales are of that character
In iron and steel manufactures there
are symptoms of improvement East
ern markets are waiting There is 6
feeling that the new steel rail combine
will result in decided decreased de
mand for rails and also for pig iron ant
at Philadelphia and Pittshurg no i'm
provement in price is seen.
Failures for the week were 1856 in the
United States, against 271 correspond
ing week last year; 40 in Canada
against 30 last year Previous weel
failures were 319. Classified state
ment of liabilities of firms failing tn,
last two weeks of November shows re
markable decrease in aggregate ant
also in amount in each section of tn
country, the decrease being about one
third in manufacturing concerns ant
about 40 per cent in liabilities Of trad
ing firms. Manufacturing liabilitle
were 1908, 449. against $2,0S2,9S0.

theory. Mr.. Post is one of the ablest
political economists in the country.

serve as minister to Italy because it
was charged he bought 1t by contri-

of the president against his declina

standing the ridicule given him for
his dudish dress by the New York
press.

GEORGETOWN, Tex, Dec. S.-.Coun-
ty court convened on Monday, Judge
D. s. Chessher presiding. A large
number of criminal cases have been
disposed of this week, and the greater
part of next week will probably be
consumed with criminal business.
Pistol cases so far have predominated.
OF civil business there are about 80
cases on the cocket, some of which are
on appeal. District court will begin
on the first Monday in January.
Sixteen boys, mostly negroes, were
arraigned before Justice Shaw, charged
with crap shooting. Pleas OF guilty
and fines were the order of the day.
Mrs Annie Price received informa.
ton today of the death of her sisters
husband Mr.. Balm at Toronto, Canada.
She left at once for that city.
Mr.. John Storms of Georgetown and
Miss Ollie Whitney of Jonah were mar
ried on Wednesday at the home OF the
brides parents. They will reside in
this city.
Mr.. Ed Henderson, son of Nat @.
| Henderson, will on Tuesday next lead
to the altar Miss Laura Milbrame of
this city. The marriage will take
place in the Baptist church.
Mr.. C. H. Gee of this city has made
application to Ed Kaufman, internal
revenue collector, for a clerkship in
that department. Mr.. Gee is regarded
as thoroughly competent, and his APP
pointment would be very satisfactory
to the Democracy of this county. He
was district clerk for several years in
Burleson county, and served as post
master under Cleveland's first admin
istration. Mr.. Gee is now assistant
district clerk of this county.

MIR. CLEVELANDS CONSISTENCY


even in Texas, which profess to advo'
cate Democratic principles, which will
not cease in their antagonism upon
the administration, even when the
question upon " hich they differ is de-
cided. The passage of the repeal OF
the purchasing clause of the silver
purchasing act Internationally, If 1t
meant anything further than a wise
business movement meant. that
majority of Democrats in congress
was q opposed to the unlimited coin
age of silver at the present ratio and
thereby endorsed the view taken by
the administration that the coinage OF
silver should be continued only under
the provisions made in that respect
by the national Democratic platform,
and that is first by international
agrt ement.
And yet, when that policy has re.
received the appreciation of congress,
Mr.. Cleveland is accused by these
papers of manifesting, in his message
to congress, an indifference to
silver that in their opinion
amounts to an opposition to
bimetalism. This is unfair and un-
just and directly contrary both to the
expressed opinion of congress and to
Mr.. Clevelan d 8 recommendation that
compromise ofthe financial plan can
not be arrived at In any other way but
by first an international agreement.
There is not one word in the message
that even would intimate that Mr..
Cleveland is opposed to bimetalism
but on the other hand the message is
in exact accordance with this platform
of the party.
Unfortunately in Texas the dUmi'
nant wing of the Democratic party is
ia direct COZ flict with the national
platform on that subject and it's sup
porters Tray, Blanche and Sweetheart
are opening up upon Mr.. Cleveland's
trail ard seek to direct opposition tt

paign and that Ia an agreement upoI

We can see nothing in Mr.. Cleve
lands message on this subject, tina

Democratic congress, and that ia no
in entire accordance with the method
proposed by the National Democrat
Platform. Independence in journal
lem is a most excellent thing, bu

that two nights ago he hired team of

Broad Brook. The proprietor drove for
him and they were accompanied by a
prominent meat dealer. During this
drive Armstrong claims to have been
set upon by the two men and robbed of
S11 and a gold watch. At all events
Armstrong received an unmerciful
beating. ALI of the men were inIoxi-
Gated. Warrants are to be sworn out
for The alleged assailants and owing to

CAPT HEBIcH TesTIFIEs
He Admits That Two Passengers Died
Before Leaving Southampton.

He Admits That Two Passengers Died
Before Leaving Southampton.
New York, May 25.-The action
brought by Judge Alfred A. Beers, of
Bridgeport, Conn, against the Hamburg
American Packet company to recover $780,
900 damages for the detention on the
steamship Normannia during the cholera
quarantine in September last, was con
tinued before Judge Brown in the United
States Circuit court yesterday afternoon
Cortlandt S. Van Rensselaer, testified
that he was passenger on the Normannia.
He had conversed with the officers of the
company in regard to the cholera and i'm
pressed upon them that he would not
travel on the steamer if steerage passengers
were aboard.
At the London Office of the company
witness said, he saw u man who repre-
sented himself as one of the agents of the
company, and was told by him that there
were no steerage passengers on the steamer
On the day of the arrival of the Nor
MAMMA in the New York harbor, the wit
ness asked the doctor if thers was any
cholera aboard, and the reply was no,
Mr.. Van Rensselaer, said that he first
learned of the presence of Storage passen-
gers on the steamer after the voyage had
begun.
Capt. Hebich, of the Normannia, was
called by the defense as it's first witness.
He said that the Normannia was never
nearer to Hamburg than 80 miles, and
that the steamer sailed from CoXhaven, so
miles further down the river.
Capt. Hebich testified that before the
steamer sailed he had received clean bill
of health from the city of Hamburg, AID
also a certificate that there were no con-
tagious diseases aboard. He said that
while the vessel was at Southampton sew
eral cabin passengers complained to him of
Storage passengers being aboard He
told them that he would wait 10 minutes
for them if they wanted to leave the ship,
but none went.
Capt. Hebich testified that there was no
complaint by any of the passengers in re-
gard to their treatment by the officers of
the company, but that all their com plants
were against the city authorities.
On cross examination Capt. Hebich adj
mitted that there were two deaths from
cholera on board the Normannia before
the ship reached Southampton where
number of cabin passengers were taken
aboard.
1t is learned that suits have been
brought against the Hamburg American
Packet company by J. M. Hawley and D.
T. Read, both Of Bridgeport, Conn, who
were passengers ON the Normannia during
the ships memorable voyage last Sep
tember
