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

NEW YORK, Oct. 10 r g. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade will
SAY:
The country has been waiting while
uncertainty prevailed, men not know
ing what to do with safety, and so.
have done as little as they could. In
dustries cannot always wait, and i'm
them arrest of improvement generally
means some reaction. Merchants who
have OBLIGATIONS to meet cannot al
ways wait, and for some there come
misfortune. Spectators and traders
wait because they have no substantial
basis for judgment. The volume OF
business transacted increases some be
cause the longer people go without
clothing or food or other necessities
the more certain their demand is to
revive. TIE government crop reports
have not helped speculation because
they are not In harmony with prevail
ing sentiments.
Wheat has weakened 4c, though
the government report would indicate
| a yielG to warrant higher prices.
| Western receipts for the week have
been $500, 600 bushels against 0, 1851 ,97e
last wear, while Atlantic exports have
fallen to 62l, 1861 bushels against 1889,
| 1873 last year. Corn has advanced T.
lac, pork products being unchanged,
but either would be much stronger ii
men put full confidence In the official
reports Oil has risen lc and coffee
unchanged
Coz on stands just where it did q
week ago ia spite of the report which
some interpreted as conclusive
proof of n yield far below
last year. But the enor~
nous stock of old cotton In sight hers
aud abroad would explain the great
hesitation in that market, even II OH
cial estimates were fully credited.
| Cotton goods show general improve
ment in tone though weak in spots
Demand for wooden goods not third
of the usual magnitude and sales OF
wool at three. The chief markets Tor
last week were 2, 500 452 pounds against
1899 600 last year.
The situation is a strange one
| WllCn 10 viz oNoiSho
and though in dress goods a steady
demand appears, uncertainty as to the
demand appears. Uncertainty AS to
mems goods, knit goods and carpets is
as great as if months had not elapsed
with extraordinarily narrow distribut
ton OF products.
Outside of New York the boot and
shoe factories are but pooly employed
and Eastern shipments are "a per cent
below those OF last year but bright
spots appear in women's shoes and in
rubber goods.
Failures past week 894 in the United
States, against 1870 last year; AZ in
Canada against 20 last year Eigh-
teen failures exceeded 800, 100; 81 over
$50, 600 each but less than 800, 900.
Aggregate liabilities In failures first
week in October 81, 49l, 201. This week
liabilities have increased.

Preece and Cary Randolph have filed
with the board ofpublic works claims
for damages ranging from $3.50 to $500
All of these parties live near the head

depth of water along their land and
the consequent increase 10 the value
of their property would fully compen

submerged. When the city allowed
the water in the lake to go down,
however, and the mud began to ill

matters assumed different aspect
and hence these claims for damages.

Foot and Fathom.

The foot" is named from the length
of that member in a full-grown man.
Some say it was so called from the
length of the foot of certain English
king, but it is believed to have been a
standard of measurement among the
ancient Egyptians The cubit is from
the Latin cubitus, an elbow, and is the
distance from the elbow to the end OF
the middle finger. Fathom is from the
Aryan fat, to extend, and denotes the
distance from tip to tip of the fingers
when the arms of an average-sized man
are fully extended.

SAN ANTONIO, Oct. l2.-With re-
ference to the crowds of unemployed
men enroute East from California and
arrested here and jailed for vagrancy,
Governor Hogg today tslegraphed the
local authorities that he would Ger
tainly express his condemnation
of such action by par
doning the men as soon as

names. The governor says that the
law loving, law abiding element of this
state will never countenance this treat
ment of men who commit no greater
crime than travel as tramps for lack of
work. He closes by asking District
Attorney Camp to report the facts to
him at once. Upon the receipt OF the
telegram the men were released. There
ara now about 100 of these men in the
city and the railroads all refuse to haul
them further.
The trades council at a meeting to
night denounced the local officers and
commended Governor Hogg's course,
A mass meeting was also called for to-
night.

not believe that the Sherman Silver

session of Congress, unless an agree
ment be reached upon a substitute
that will add an equal or n larger
