DUN'S TRADE REVIEW,
Business Outlook Throughout the
Country Still Far From
Satisfactory.
LIGHT DEMAND FOR GOODS.
Price Of Wheat and Cotton Drop
Lower Than Ever Before
Known.
New York, Oct. s.-Dun's weekly

New York, Oct. s.-Dun's weekly
review Of trade says:
With the chief money crops Of the
West and South sinking in value, it is
is not strange that purchases Of manu-
featured products are smaller than was
expected. Wheat has touched the
lowest ever known in any form with
the present classification, and the ac-
emulation Of stocks in both products
is discouraging to purchasers for an
advance. Producers are compelled to
sell at prices below the ordinary cost
Of raising crops, and in some Western
states there is also a lamentable failure
Of the corn crop. Under the circum-
stances it would be very strange if the
demand for manufactured products
should be quite as large as in other
years.
Wheat suffers most from accumula-
ton Of stocks in sight, which are far
beyond what is usually expected for the
season, and the exports in September
were unusually small. For the first
week of October Atlantic exports were
1,097,3 72 bushels against 1863, 746 last
year, and Western receipts were only
4,616, 600 bushels against 6,31O, 6S7 last
year, and these figures
Give Some Encouragement,
but have little influence in view of the
unusual visible supply. The price for
cash wheat is a small fraction higher
for the week. Corn receipts at the
West have been only a third as large as
they were last year, with exports
amounting to nothing, but the price
has not further declined after the heavy
fall during the previous fortnight.
Pork products are weak in tone though
only lard is quotably lower. Cotton is
one-eighth lower, the cash price being
the lowest known for 45 years, and
considering the difference in classical
ton, it is perhaps lower than at any
time in 1849, and estimates that the
crop is more than 10000, 900 bales are
more commonly credited now than esti-
mates of $500, 900 were two months
ago. With favorable weather it would
seem likely to be
The Largest Ever Known.
The condition of the industries is in
some respects more satisfactory. Evil
IDENTIFY there is a larger demand for
iron products than there was a month
ago, though the increase in output has
been somewhat greater than the in
crease in the demand, so that prices
steadily tend downward. The boot
and shoe trade continues to deliver
more goods than in any previous year,
as it did in September, and most Of the
works still have orders for one or two
months ahead, although mainly for low
or medium-priced goods. There is q
little demand this week for goods OF
higher quality, however, and the de.
mand for leather is still reducing the
reserve.
The failures for the past week have
been 219 in the United States, against
800 last year, and 80 in Canada, against
as last year.

OUTLOOK VERY D1scouRAG1NG

For the Future of Our Seal Fisheries.
Will BE Exterminated in Five Years.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 8-The reports of
the naval officers commanding the YES
sells on the Boring sea patrol, n and
all present a very discouraging outlook
for the future Of our seal fisheries:
Generally these reports show that the
regulations imposed in accordance with
the findings Of the Paris arbitration
are Of little avail in protecting the seals
during what is known as the open sea
son.. While a belt Of 60 miles wide of
ocean surrounding the seal islands is
closed to sealing craft, they have not
suffered from the prohibition, for the
naval officers report that the seals are
found asleep all over the surface of the
ocean,
Outside of the Closed Zone.
The pelagic sealers killed about IS, 900
seals in this way last season, and the
officers estimate that fully 80 per cent
of these were females, entailing an adj
ditional loss Of as many pup seals. In
addition to this number it is not doubt
ed that many more seals were killed
and sunk before their bodies could be
recovered, and SO were not reported.
One officer ventures the prediction that
at the present rate of slaughter the
seals will be exterminated within five
years, regardless Of any action by our
government in the direction Of sus-
pending the taking Of seals on the seal
islands for a specified term of years.

A QUIET CHRISTMAS.
TIE DAY PASSED OFF VERY PLEASANTLY IN
WHEELING.
The Places Of Amusement Well PaIronizsi-LTgs
Crowds at the Churches-How the Day
Was Observed Generally.

Another Christmas has come and
gone leaving many people happier, and
it is to be hoped better, while others are
sad and lonely and are disposed to find
fault with Providence on account Of
their hard luck. The past year has
been an unusually severe one upon the
poorer class OF people. from the fact
that many of the Industrial concerns
have been closed down and the laboring
classes have been without employment.
This state OF affairs naturally makes
business dull and the merchants have
not done the am cunt OF business this
year that they did in former years
when times were better.
For many days previous to yesterday,
however, those who could afford to In
vest in presents and tokens OF esteem
for either member OF the family or a
friend, were out circulating among the
stores and shops, and considering the
hard times the merchants have done
fairly well. The majority Of the bust
ness places were closed yesterday, some
few stores running open until noon, the
owners and their clerks being glad OF
an opportunity to rest after the hurry
and hustle of the past week.
The streets were lhronged with pedes-
trians all day. During the afternoon
and evening the theaters both had per-
formances going on. and they were well
patronized. At the Opera House Man
ager Reister furnished his patrons with
treat by presenting that most laugh :
able farce-comedy, "Hoss and Hoss,
while at the Grand Manager Feinler
was kept busy selling tickets for that
bright new comedy, "The Trolley Sys'
tenn" Both houses were packed at
each performance.
At the Cathedral pontificial high
mass was celebrated at five o'clock a.
m, and at st. Alphonsus church high
mass was sung, the choir being aug
mented by an orchestra. The music
was feature OF the services. At most
OF the other churches In the city the
Sunday schools held entertainments
and Christmas treats, aud 1T is needless
to say they were we'll attended. There
were also special services in the Epis-
copal churches.

PUNISHED FOR CURIOSITY.
A Learned Chinese Doctor Pays Dearly For
Little Innocent Sightseeing.

A Learned Chinese Doctor Pays Dearly For
Little Innocent Sightseeing.
1t is dangerous to crafty curiosity OF
to violate precedent at the Chinese i'm
perial court. The empress dowager is a
great stickler for etiquette. Recently
she required the services of DIR. Ii Te-
chang, vice president of the Imperial
Academy of Physicians, at Picking, for
one of the members of her suit at Eho
Park palace. The learned doctor had
never been inside these famous palace
grounds, and his curiosity was fired TO
see the many curious objects of which
he had heard wonderful tales. So he
bribed palace eunuch to show him
around the grounds.
While the two were leisurely walking
about and enjoying themselves the en-
press spied them. She at once dis
patched servants to punish their etfron-
terry. The eunuch was seized, thrown
on his face and accommodated with 80
blows with the bamboo on the calves of
his fat legs. The doctor was locked
three months pay and received a severe
reprimand, while his assistant was or
dered never to venture again into the
empress presence.
The affair created a sensation because
of the high position of the physician
and of the humiliating punishment
dealt out to him.-New York Sun.
