NEW YoRK, June 2.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says: More
disheartening conditions have pre-
vailed during the past week and those
who Baw the beginning Of permanent
recovery in the better tone week ago
are disappointed. The money markets
have been closer, and especially in the
interior, and manufacturing and trade
are more affected than before. Gold
has gone out again in largo amounts,
exports for this week being about S5,-
100000, and the treasury gold reserve
has been drawn down to about $780,
100000.
rho iron trade at Pittsburgh is less
encouraging; pig Is weak and finished
is on very low price, with weaker ten
doncy Trade at Cleveland is fairly
good, though money Is close. Uncer.
tainty about freights, labor, crops and
finance makes the iron trade gloomy.
Prospects OF trouble With the Anal
gamated Association sustRins the pres.
ont demand for finished products aud
higher freight rates raise prices OF pig,
not to tho advantage OF sellers. struc-
tural mills are yet we'll employed, but
at prices which return scanty profits.
Failures during the past week have
beon 239, against 1866 last year. Last
week tho number was 273.

Tho Worlds Congress Holds its First Sos.
sion ut Chicago.
CHICAGO, June 2.-The worlds con-
gress on social purity was presided over
this morning by Archbishop Ireland,
who delivered the opening address, fol-
lowing President Bonney's address Of
welcome, and response by A. NJ. Pow
oil, president of the New York commit
tee for the prevention Of state regula-
tion of vice.
Addresses were also delivered by Mrs.
Ballington Booth, Of the Salvation
Army, and Rev. ]. NJ. Cleary, OF Mime
apolis. About 400 people we're present
at to.day's session.
The National Christian League for
the Promotion OF Social Purity met in
an adjoining hall and were addressed
by Bishop FNllows and other distin-
guished speakers.
Mr.. Powell spoke OF the laws touch
ing tho "age Of consent" In certain
states the child who might not dispose
of her property till she was eighteen
years old might lawfully consent to her
own ruin at the age OF ten. Woman
suffrage would change this deplorable
condition OF things, as witnessed
by the fact that in the states
where woman had como closest
to tho ballot the age Of consent had been
raised to IS years. Archbishop Ireland
in his address said the moral pessimist
would object that the evil cannot be
eradicated and will exist, no matter
what we may do. Pessimism is the
theory OF towards, who would give over
the world to evil. This was cowardly.
No attempt to do good was ever made
without some good result.

The committee will prepare scale
from the programme which is made up
Of suggestions from lodges. The aCale
will then be considered in convention
and amended to suit the desires OF u
majority OF the delegates,
AS far as can be learned tho lodges
are generally conservative this year
and have asked few changes over last
years scale,
Several manufacturers are in favor OF
following last years precedent and
formulating scale Of wages, and this
maNadd to the complexity OF the situa-
ton. AS yet none OF the iron masters
have this year indicated any hostile at
titude against tho Amalgamated Asso-
citation, and this leads the leaders OF
the latter to believe there will be no
serious labor disturbances in tho trade
tn is year.
