NEW YORK, Jan. es.-R. g. Dun g. CO..
weekly review OF trade says; Events have
not helped business this week About
$40, $50, 600 gold has been withdrawn from
the treasury, mainly for export, end the
gold reserve has been reduced te about
100000. Since Dec 8 the treasury has
lost in thirty-nine working days, about
t59, 0000 900 gold, and daily increasing dis
trust is liable to affect markets unfayor-
ably. Industries have not yet found SUI
flcient demand for their products to pre-
vent further decline in prices, and this
week the average for all commodities has
again touched the lowest point ever
known. The number of hands employed
does not increase, and strike has cut of
for more than u week about half the bust
ness of Brooklyn, to some extent affecting
trade here.
At bottom business hesitates because the
future is elouded and the consuming de-
mand has not increased in January, as
WAS expected. In belief that 1t would in
dustrics had enlarged production, md I'M
til it does the excess Of producing capacity
constantly tends TO depress prices.
The failures for the past week have been
1913 in the United States, against 400 for
the same week last year, and 90 in Can
ada, against 60 last year.
Bradstreets review says: Special tele-
graphic and mail advices from the more
important distributing oentsrs fail to re-
veal any marked Improvement In tho
movement Of merchandise and products,
aud the conclusion is forced that the gen
eral trade situation remains as prevl Isly
characterlzed-small volume, low prices,
hand to mouth sales and the outlook favor
ing very conservative trade for some time
to come.

THE CANAL BILL PASSED
Our Government Will Aid the

THE sENATEs VOTE DECISIVE

The Work VIII be Pushed Under the Super
vision OF = Board of Fifteen Directors.
Ten of Whom Are to be Appointed by
the President.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The bill pledg-
ing the faith of the United States to tho
construction Of the Nicaragua canal
passed the senate last night by tho decis-
I've vote OF 81 yeas to 81 nays. The final
vote was not secured until $3.50 o'clock
Tho Nicaraguan minister and many other
diplomats Interested in the project had
seats In tho diplomatic galleries through
out tho voting,
The bill, in brief, directs the issue OF
10000 900 Nicaragua canal bonds. Each
OF these is to bear the following guarantee;
''Tho United States of America guarnn-
tees to the lawful holder OF this bond the
payment by tho Maritime Canal company,
Of Nicaragua, of the principal of said
bonds and the interest accruing thereon,
and as it accrues"
An additional $50, ooo, 900 of bonds Is to
be issued without the United States guar
nntce. The total s100 0O0, 900 thus issued
Is to be used In constructing the inter
oceanic canal. The secretary Of the treas
ury is to have general supervision of the
project. A board OF fifteen directors Is to
have immediate charge of the work. OF
this board the president is to designate ten
members, no more than two from any one
state. The United States Is to receive $70,-
100000 Of canal company stock in return
for guaranteeing the bonds, and is to hold
mortgage lien on all the property of the
canal company.
Aside from the final debate and vote on
the Nicaragua bill the main interest Of the
day attached to very caustic speech by
Mr.. Mills (fex) unfolding the admins
tration policy in Hawaii, and incidentally
scoring the sugar trust.
The sundry civil bill passed the house
yesterday In the shortest time, so far as
known, on record. 1t was under consid-
Grafton but three days. As passed. the
bill carries $40, 1o5, T2l. Two propositions,
offered respectively by Mr. Sayors and Mr..
Coonbs, the former to clotho the secre-
tary of the treasury with power to issue
United States bonds of such denomina-
lions US he should 500 ft, instead Of as
now, to reissue them Of the same denom-
nation, and the latter to retire and can
Gel the gold certificates and make them
non-receivahie for customs dues after July
next, furnished the principal theme of
discussion. Mr.. Savers proposition was
defeated by n vote of II TO 81, while that OF
