LOUISVILLE, Jan. 13.-Quite killing
was made in this city, Little Rock and
Covington on Hyman, who ran at East
st. Louis Friday. The horse is owned
by Burlington & Kile. Mr.. Burlington,
it is said, worked the fine points in this
city, and Mr.. Kile gathered in all he
could get at Covington. The third party
that was in on the deal worked the Lit
tie Rock end. No money was placed on
the horse at the st. Louis track, and by
this means better odds were secured
away from home, 6 to 1 being laid
against the horse here. All told, it is
claimed about $4,000 was made in the

THE TIDE TURNED.
Distinct Improvement !, in Busi-
ness Circles Since the New
Year Began.
MANY FACTORIES RESUMING WORK.
Orders of Dealers Whose Stocks
Are Exhausted q PrOmi-
nent Cause.

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-R. @. Dun q
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Business has distinctly improved since
the new year came, and the gain is no
longer visible only in speculative mar
kets. This is the only kind of improve
ment that has in it possibilities of last
ing, because it is based upon actual in
crease in the production by industries.
AS all rejoice to see it there is perhaps
little disposition to reckon the gain
greater than it is as yet, but several
large establishments have started with
part force, hoping to increase, and more
smaller works have started than have
stopped. Orders from dealers whose
stocks approach exhaustion
Form Prominent Cause;
another is the widely prevalent impress
sion that action at Washington will be
more satisfactory than many have ex-
pected; and belief that in any case the
situation will not be changed until
goods now in the works can be marketed
has weight in some trades. Whatever
the causes, even moderate gain is most
cheering.
The output of pig iron Jan. is reck-
oned by The Iron Age at S9,0S7 tons
weekly, which is slightly less than Dec.
/, though Pittsburg authorities make it
a little larger. In either case it is from
Al to AZ per cent less than year ago,
and stocks of unsold pig increased 49,
457 tons in December, though they de-
creased as much in November. Copper,
tin and lead are weaker.
Sales of Wool for the Week
are 2, 7S6, 300 pounds at the three chief
markets against $500, 500 last year, but
there is more inquiry from worsted and
carpet manufacturers, some having
started machinery. Overcoatings are ~
to 10 per cent. lower than a year ago,
larger than of late, and the demand is
more urgent. In cotton goods there is
no definite change. Shipments of boots
and shoes for the week were nearly a
qurter smaller than a year ago, but
there is growing confidence that the
business must soon increase.
Wheat is a shade weaker, though
Western receipts are 100000 bushels
for the week against 5,93S,OO0 year
ago. Atlantic exports are only $4,000
bushels, against 1,48S,000 last year.
Corn is weaker with very large receipts.
Bank clearings also indicate that no
large gain has occurred as yet in the
volume of business, being 81 per cent
smaller than year ago.
Failures for the week have been 474
in the United States against 286 last
year, and 81 in Canada against 20 last
