Silver and Tariff Worrying
the Business World.
POOR DEMAND FOR FANCY GOODS
The Passage Of the Scigniorage Bill
Has Had no Effect Upon the Mar
ket-The Decrease i'm Failures an Ex-
cellent Feature.
BY The Associated Press.

NEW YORK, March 3-.R G. Dun q
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
With no more definite information than a
week ago. regarding the outcome of the
financial or revenue disputes, perhaps
more people have come to the belief that
the end will answer their wishes. Ger
tainly rather more are taking limited
risks in business, especially in stocks.
The fall of silver to below 60 cents here.
and after slight recovery its renewed
weakness, have an unfavorabls influence
on some markets The announcement
that import duties are TO be imposed by
India, II confirmed. may increase the diff
fculty. The passage of the seigniorage
bill by the house has not had time to pro-
duce much effect. but is not financially
reassuring.
More works have resumed or increased
hands or hours than have stopped or re-
duced, but numerous reductions I'm wages
continue TO lesson the purchasing power
of those Mt work. The demand from dis
tributors Ia almost exclusively for me-
dium or low priced wooden aud cotton
goods for 81. so, and not for 50 boots and
for shoes rather than boots. Some sales
men and traders find indications that
stocks of the higher priced goods remain
ing on hand are much larger than usual,
and bankers judge that much of the de-
nand for commercial loans is virtually
for renewals to carry such unsold stocks
Print cloths are accumulating and
several mills OF Importance have closed.
The wooi Market.
In all branches of the woolen manufac-
ture the demand Is yet far below the
usual mark, but it is somewhat improved
In worstcd and dress goods, and leading
mills have been taking wool quite largely.
Shipments Of boots and shoes from Bos
ton show a decrease of only 8 per cent for
the week, which is the best for q long
time, and there is more buying, but
almost exclusively Of medium or low
priced goods
Cotton receipts for the week are still
slightly above last years; the fall in sill
yer and the closing of some mills hinder
rise in prices
The decrease in domestic trade reported
by clearings is i0.S per cent for the week,
anu 25.g outside New York, a little less
than last week.
Imports of merchandise still show de-
crease Of ~ per cent. while exports Of do
mestic products for three weeks are per
cent larger than last year
The most encouraging feature OF the
weeks record is the continued decrease in
number and importance OF failures.

Two Trains Narrowly Escaped Being
Wrecked at Augusta, Me.
AUGUSTA, Me-, March "a dastardly
attempt at train wrecking was made here
last night. The passenger train from Bos-
ton, which arrives here at 7.l5, was bowl
ing along at 30 miles an hour. and had
reached point half mile below the
city, at the state house siding. when the
locomotive struck pile of rocks and old
iron, which had been heaped upon the
track. This was scattered right and left,
and almost at the same instant big
cedar sleeper, which laid across the rails,
was struck. The cowcatcher caught IL
and sent IL spinning one side Of the track.
The train did not stop. On arriving here
Il was found that the axle OF the forward
ponies were scratched to the depth Of an
inch; the steam box and other parts Of
the engine were scratched; otherwise no
damage was done.
Half an hour later freight train from
the west at that place struck the same
sleeper, which had been returned TO the
track by the wreckers. The sleeper
crowded under the pilot and against the
ponies, and in this condition the train
came TO Augusta station, where the
SLEEPER was removed by lacking up the
engine.
Both trains narrowly escaped being
wrecked. as there is a steep embank-
ment running TO the surface OF the river
