DUN'S TALK.
Condition and General Outlook of Ths
Prospects of the Country.

Il. G. Dun Il Co.'S. weekly review
of trade says: The repeal Of the sill
yer purchase act does good already.
The business world in every part of
the country reckons it helpful and the
tone of the trade is more confident. 1t
is hardly time as yet for the effects to
be felt to any great extent in manu-
facturies, but banks are more liberal
in accommodations and merchants
more hopeful in purchases 1t is well
to remember that the act will do less
good than ii it had been passed early in
the spring, or without delay after
congress assembled. 1t cannot now
prevent several thousand failures
which have already occurred, nor re-
lieve creditors from resulting embar-
assments. 1t cannot now save from
loss multitude of manufacturing es-
Establishments which have closed be-
cause the future seemed uncertain. 1t
will go far to restore business coilfi-
dence, which was much needed, but
many may expect from the measure
larger results than can at this late day
be realized.
The action of congress had less visi
BILE influence vi on speculative markets
for products, in part, because foreign
markets obstinately refused to accept
the valuations which spectators here
tried to establish. Though people
across the water award unstinted
praise to those who secured the pas
sage of the repeal bill, there is not
much disposition to pay higher prices
on that account for wheat or cotton.
In view of the great abundance of
money at speculative centers, the
weakness of markets is more slgniti-
can't Industries could not be ex-
pected to make any material gain as
yet, in consequence of financial condi-
tons, but the demand for textile pro-
ducts has to some extent improved.
The metal working industries manifest
little gain as yet. The minor metals
are weaker on the whole, though spec
ulation Is slightly improved.
The volume of domestic trade gains
but little, exchanges outside of New
York being 22.96 per cent lower than
last year for the week. The exports
of products for the past month have
been about 81 ,000, 900 larger than last
year while imports have been about
$40, 400, 900 smaller, which indicates
an excess of exports of $50, 900, 900
or more for the month.
The railroads have been doing
little better, but returns do not yet
come up to those of last year.
Failures for the week number 35S
in the United States as against 23S last
year, and % in Canada against 81 last
year. Only five concerns failed with
liabilities exceeding 100000 each.
The aggregate of liabilities for the
week ending October 26 was larger
than of last. amounting to n$7 400, 900
against 100000 for the previous
week.

AZ the Capital.

For few days the past week it
looked like the Senate was going to
come to II compromise on The repeal
of The Sherman law, bus President
Cleveland put quietu, on snch ma

would veto any bill that came about
in such way.
On the announcement of the Presi-
deuts position towards a compromise
measure, few impetuous Senators
flew to pieces and made all kinds of
dire threats, but after deliberation
and sober reflection they came around
and agreed to allow Il vote to be aken
and thus throw the responsibility of
the measure upon the chief execu-
tive.

The gold mining industry in the

yield are worked at full force, some
abandoned ones are being reopened,
and prospectors, with pick and shovel,
are now more numerous than they
have been for many years. But while
this impetus has been given to gold
mining. there is abundant evidence
that the silver industry is not suffer
ing to the extent that interested pol
iticians and spectators have tried to
make the public believe. 1t has been
thoroughly demonstrated that silver
can be proftably produced at the

Buying Back Their Own Diamonds

The De Beers mines employ 5000

no way had been discovered to prevent
the thefts. Under the law the native
laborers ARE kept in Enclosures called
compounds They sell the diamonds
which they steal at few shillings per
carat They are purchased, although
the natives are ignorant of the fact, by
agents of the De Beers Company and re
turned to the company. Within the last
two years, Mr. McGregor said, the com,
