Prospect For Business After the Holidays
..~ Considered Encouraging.
New York, Dec. 10. R. @. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
1t is difficult to detect any change in
current business affairs. Prospects for
business after Jan. are quite generally
considered more hopeful; in some
branches there are larger orders and the
westbound shipments of merchandise
are q little larger, but the working
force naturally diminishes near the end
Of the year and the holiday traffic
brings just now a temporary activity
which is not Of such general signifi-
canoe. The meeting of congress and
the announcement of the new currency
plan and of various bills proposed have
not affected the situation perceptibly.
On the whole agricultural products are
scarcely stronger, and wages of labor
do not advance, but there is reason to
expect the employment of a somewhat
larger working force after the holidays.
Slight Advance i'm Wheat.
1he recelptS OF wheat are larger than
a year ago and the exports smaller, but
foreign accounts, particularly as to the
Argentine crop, has helped an advance
Of "a cents. Estimates of the winter
wheat acreage indicate an increase of
10 per cent, with condition some
what better than last year. Although
corn receipts have been much larger
than year ago, and exports not one
sixth as large, the price has changed
but little, cotton has fallen again to
6M cents, very close to the lowest
point for many years, and actual re-
ceipts from plantations are larger to
date than in 1891, when the crop was
over 5000, 900 bales. The iron industry

NOT LIKE BAILEY's.

- SAaer Ii D1EerenGs
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O.-The bank
ruptcy bill, which the Democratic eau
Gus Of the senate has indicated will
hngness to consider at the present ses-
sion 10 by no means the same measure
as that which passed the house, known
as the Bailey bill, during the long ses-
sion. The house bill contained only
about four pages, whereas the bill
which the senate will be called upon to
consider covers Is pages. 1t carries the
title Of the house bill, but retains only
the first two sections of the Bailey
bill, and even these are amended.
The bill was amended in the senate
Judiciary committee, and the amend
nellts are understood to have been sug-
gestsd III the main ny Senator George
OF Mississippi. The amendments in
serted by the senate committee related
entirely to matters of detail in making
assignment, arranging exemptions, pre-
Ierrlng creditors, etc. The main pro-
vision in the ball is for assignment or
cession of property by any debtor owing
$500 or more that he cannot pay.
The friends of the bill are inclined
to urge that the steering committee
shall give 1T preference over other
measures selected for consideration by
the caucus. They say that a bank
ruptcy bill is one of the urgent demands
of the times, on account of the fact
that the panic of 1S93 lett SO many
persons in condition of financial dis
tress, who they think, should be allowed
to begin life over again by disposing of
what property they may have and
starting in even with the world.

PEARLS AND FANCY COINS.

S evellon a. Browns Servant, James T.
Farrell, Robbed Him OF Both
When Sevellon A. Brown, sometime chief
clerk of the State Department and row con-
nected with the Korean legation, discovered
that pearl necklace. valued at 81 500. had
been stolen from his HON e. at No. 2034 o
street northwest, Inspector Ho llinberger's
detectives at once began searching inves IL
cation.
The result has been that other thefts of
some magnitude were unearthed. and james
Thomas Farrell, a colored man who had been
II servant in the employ OF Mr.. Brown, was
arrested by Detective Boyd. 1t was found
that cross which had been pendant from
the stolen necklace had been sold to a sec
Ond hand dealer on d street, and this part of
the ornament was recovered. 1t was also
discovered that many rare and valuable gold
and silver coins in the splendid collection of
Mr.. Brown had been stolen. Then it was re-
membered that last summer q secondhand
dealer had called al headquarters and exhib-
tied lot of old money which was thought 10
have been stolen, but the police had no report
of any such robbery, and the dealer carried
away the coins, which were afterwards sold
to local bank.
The search for the missing necklace re-
vealed the loss of the curios from Mr.. Brown 3
collection and they were traced to the store
keeper who visited headquarters months ago.
Unfortunately for Mr.. Brown the coins have
been distributed far and wide and it will be
practically impossible to recover any of them.
One of these was valued at $500 and others at
correspondingly fancy prices by the numis-
matist 1t is said that Farrell was the man
who disposed of the coins and the cross. The
total loss of MIR. Brown is estimated at about

the results OF the serum treatment he pro-
nOun:ed to be unreliable and often mislead-
ing.
The lecture was received with great ap-
plause from one part OF the audience and
with Kisses rom the other part. Ihe extern
sion Of the serum treatment TO other cities. at
home and abroad, however, is reported to be

Hoechst. near Frankfort, where the serum is
manufactured. have been enlarged this week
in order to meet the demands for the serum.
DR.. G. II. F. Nuttall, a young American ply
sician. who is now assistant professor Of the
hygienic institute of Berlin. in view OF the
fact that lis share of the discovery OF the
serum treatment has not apparently been
clearly understood, has made the following
statement TO the Associated Press, He studied

meteorological properties.
He published the results of those re-
searches, among which was the fact that the
blood Of an immunized sheep destroyed more
anthrax or bacilli than the blood of nom
immunized animals. He thus clearly showed
the way which Behring and others subse-
quently took, and in point of fact, laid the
foundation OF the present blood serum treat

The enormous revival of the export busl-
ness since October Is has been remarked at
the United States consulate generals in this
city. This revival has been especially re-
markable in paperware, buttons. dress goods,
and ready-made clothing. Some branches of
the export trade which have recently been
dormant now show signs of revival.
An opposition was got up privately by rad

WANT FATHER BARRY TO STAY.

Parishioners of St Ann's VIII Make an
Appeal TO Cardinal Gibbons.
The members of st. AIMS Catholic Church
at Tennalytown at meeting yesterday de-
cided TO appeal TO Cardinal Gibbons to re-
woke his decision in ordering their much-be-
loved pastor, Rev. Father Barry. to take
charge of parish at Petersville, Nd, and a
mission at Brunswick, Nd. At a meeting OF
the members in the afternoon after consider
able discussion a committee OF six members
was appointed to call upon the cardinal an d
present the case. For various reasons the
members desire that their names shall not be
made public at present.
The committee held a brief meeting last
night and discussed the case, but their find
ings were secret and they declined to state
the result Of the conference. 1t is said. how
ever, that the matter Will be presented to the
cardinal in a few days Ii he declines to re-
woke the original order it is thought nothing
further will be done.
The congregational meeting in the after
noon was held in the commodious town hall.
which Father Barry has been largely instru-
mental in having erected by soliciting funds
from the citizens living in an about Tennally-
town.
There was large attendance. and nearly
every one of the 500 parishioners was present.
Intense interest was manifested in the pro-
ceedings, and there was not one Of the ladies
and gentlemen who did not express their re-
gret at the action OF the cardinal in ordering
Father Barry TO another field of labor.
The chairman stated the purpose of the
meeting which, he said, was 10 decide how
the parishiOners of st. AIMS might best ex-
press their regret TO the cardinal and petition
him 10 rescind the order and allow Father
Barry TO remain in Tennallytown to minister
to the spiritual welfare of the parshioners
Of ST. AIMS, and also of st. Gabuel's at
Great Falls.
In continuing the chairman referred to the
popularity of the pastor among persons of
all denominations in the village, and said
that he believed no other man could be found
who would perform the pastoral duties bet
ter or who would become more popular with
the people.
Several other persons spoke in the same
strain and after considerable discussion it was
decided that the bes thing to do would be to
have a representation of the parish make
personal appeal 10 the cardinal and the COM
mittee mentioned above was accordingly ap-
pointed.
