NEW York. April Representatives of
the various state boards OF health held a
meeting at the Fifth Avenue hotel this
morning and considered various questions
that will likely be of some Importance in
case of an epidemic Of cholera this summer.
The meeting was presided over by Dr. n. j.
Mccormick, president of the national con-
ference of state boards OF health. Among
the representatives present were Dr. Jerome
Cochran Of Mobile, Ala. DR.. q. f. Patton
and DR.. Solomon OF Louisiana, DR.. j. d.
Plunkett of Tennessee, DR.. r. Libby of
Charleston, S. c., and DR.. Walter Wyman,
representing the government quarantine
stations.
A general report of a somewhat informal
character was received from the rspresen-
tatives present in regard to the exisitlag
condition of the quarantine stations along
the eastern and southern seaboard. New
Orleans, Mobile, Charleston aud similar
large porte, it appeared from the statements
OF their representatives, were fairly well
prepared and were provided with the COM
mon apparatus in use for disnfecting
and fumgating aggage, clothing, etc.
New Orleans headed the list in efficiency,
while Savannah brought up the rear, and
could only report that preparations were
being made that would probably be com
pleted by July /,
DR.. Wyman, who spoke for the govern
fnent stations at various points along the
seaboard, reported much better condi-
ton of affairs. All the government sta-
tions were in excellent shape, ana were
being improved in view OF possible de-
mands upon them this season. On the
whole, the reports before the conference
seemed 60 indicate that the chief danger
from infection was through the minor
ports.

New YORK, November 3.-R. G. Dun &
Companys weekly review OF trade says:
The repeal OF the silver purchase act
does good already. The business world
ia every part Of the country reckons It
helpful and the tone OF trade Is more
confident 1t is hardly time as yet for
the effects 70 be felt, TO any great ex-
tent, in manufactures, but bankers are
more liberal in Accommodations and
merchants more hopeful in purchases.
IL is well to remember that the act will
do less good than if it had been
passed early ia the spring, or
without delay when Congress
assembled. IL cannot now prevent sew
eral thousand failures which have al
ready occurred, nor relieve creditors
from resulting embarrassments. IL
cannot now save from loss a multitude
OF manufacturing establishments which
have closed because the futures seemed
uncertain. 1t will so far TO restore
business confidence which was more
needed, out many may expect from the
measure better results than can at this
late day be realized.
Industries could not be expected TO
make any material gaiu as yet 10 conse-
queuce Of new financial conditions, but
the demand FOR textile products has 10
some extent improved.
The Woodworking industries mani
fest little gain as yet. The minor met
ais are weaker on the whole, though

but little.
