A Mixed Weeks Business.

New YORK, August Or. G. Dun & Co. 8
weekly review of trade says:
The improvement observed last week has
become much more distinct and general.
Many disasters have been averted by more
general pooling of resources and geater
spirit of mutual helpfulness and forbear-
ance. One large stock failure, for several
millions, was thus prevented in Wall street
Thursday.
Money on call is more abundant but there
is little relief as respects mercantile accom-
modations. The difficulty of collections
and the interruption of exchanges are nearly
as serious as ever.
l. ASSUMPTIONS IN BUSINESS.
The number of industrial establishments
resuming begins to compare fairly with the
number stopping work. Many of these
assumptions only show the stoppage was
really temporary, and that wage controver-
sizes have been settled. Of the twenty re-
sumptions reported in the iron industries,
most are of this character, while three fail
ures and thirteen stoppages are reported, be-
sides ten cases of reduction in the force or
time. The feature of the week in this branch
has been the reduction of wages for many
thousands of hands.
the dispatches mention twenty-four mills as
having closed indefinitely, and seven others
temporarily. one for the first time in fifty
years. and it is also stated that twenty of the
largest in Maine have determined to close
next week. On the other hand. twelve mills,
which had temporarily closed, have now re-
sumed.
Men ask in vain what has become of the
money. Although $32.OOO,OOO in gold has
been received at this port in August, the
New York banks hold Sc. 300, 900 less of specie !;
and the treasury holds about 81 100000 less
of gold and 100000 less of legal tenders,
and has outstanding Sc, OOO, 900 more treasury
notes. The absorption of money, it is evil
dent, has not yet ceased. But it is well to re-
member that a mere change in public senti-
ment would unlock many of the millions of
money and add enormously to the volume
of credits. Though such change has not
yet come, there is a general hope that it may
not be long deferred.
The failures in the United States the past
week number 40.

New York win Call for Cash.

TOPEKA, August 28.-Bank Commissioners
Credentials circular is discussed here.
The Topeka Press and ex-State Auditor
Bonebrake voice quite common sentiment
thus:
1.-The circular will result in a dissolution
OF partnership between the banks of New
York and the state banks of Kansas. The
state and private banks of Kansas will with
draw their balances from New York and
place them in the banks of other eastern
cities. 1t will also result in the eastern
banks calling on all the Kansas banks owing
them money to settle at once. In some cases
this may prove hardship. This may create
further spirit of resentment on both sides.
So far as the New York banks are concerned.
however, they are as strong as they even
WERE"

Important Changes in Committees.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August 23.-Mr.
Springer, in speaking of his being removed
from the craftsmanship of the ways and
means committee, said: ITO say that am
surprised at my deposition from the chair
manship of the committee and appointment
as chairman of the committee on banking and
currency is only a feeble expression of the
truth. 60 from the work to which 1 have
given the best study of my life to a commit
tee, the business of which have given but
little attention. / know nothing of the mo-
tives of the speaker or of the object he had
In view."
The committee on banking and currency
is said to be opposed to free coinage. The
removal of Mr.. Holman from the sppropria-
ton committee is said to mean more lib
eral appropriation list in the Fifty-th con-
Rress.
1t is subject of general comment that the
changes made by Speaker Crisp give pro-
motion in committees to southern men in
every case.

Shall the Tariff be Considered.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. August 25 The
house ways and means committee held its
first meeting, when Chairman Wilson re-
quested the members to consider before the
next meeting plan of procedure for the
committee in its work; whether or not a
hearing shall be given persons interested in
the tariff how and when the bill shall be
reported, with view of deciding upon a
policy at the next meeting. 1t was inferred
that Mr.. Wilson does not expect tariff action
at this session.

yE.lt.r, Haa 2 .ooo Mem. Re saxa

Serious trouble in the Cherokee striking
district appears to be more imminent than
at any time for several weeks.
Manager Devlin had made arrangements
with many of the strikers individually, but
not as members of the union, to go to, work
Monday morning. President Walters, of
the miners union, then announced that il
the men went to work they would be con-
sidered ''scabs,'' and he would get 5000 men
to drive them out of the mine.
Walters and fifty men camped near
Frontenae, and 300 more men are on their
way to join him. The mine operators have
sent to Pittsburg and surrounding towns
for arms and assistance. Sheriff Deets and
a posse have been called out.
Manager Devlin left Topeka in a special

Have to Pole the Poles.

DErRoIT, MICH, August ga crowd OF
Polish laborers clamoring for work filed the
corridors of the city hall. The board of
public works had no work for them and the
crowd repaired to Grand River avenue,
where they attempted to force the laborers
employed on the paving contract to quit
work 30 that they could go to work them
selves. The mob made a demonstration,
the workmen used their shovels. and many
personal encounters took place between the
members of the two factions. One man was
struck on the head with shovel and seri-
ously hurt. A squad of police at the muz-
zles of their revolvers finally managed to
disperse the mob.

Almost War in south Wales.

LONDON, August 23.-The situation in South
Wales, owing to the coal strike, has not i'm
proved. Great military and police prepare
tions have been taken and the coal owners
have asked for 1900 of infantry and 1000

the troops. In the Ebbvale district the
strikers announce their intention of march
ing there $1,000 strong to stop work.

ent Wilson to deny the statement made by
President Walters, of the miners union, that
the Santa Fe company had agreed to give

PETER, in speech on the silver issue, took
occasion to say of his resolution concerning

fusing to pay checks in currency, that he did
not mean to censure the comptroller of the
currency, the secretary of the treasury or the

facts. He thought that, in the present con-
dition of things, the New York banks had
done just what they had to do, just what they
ought to have done.
