TRADE REVIEW.

An Improved Feeling During the Past
Week-Prices Have Not Improved, But
There is a General Expectation Of a
Larger Demand.
New YORK, March 9.-R G. Dunn s.
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade Satur-
day will say: Congressional adjourn
ment, and proof that though the rate
Of exchange rises to and even above
the shipping point, gold does not go
out, have produced much better feel
ing. Prices do not improve, and there
is on the whole no gain, but some loss
in wages, while strikes of $1,000 coal
miners near Pittsburgh and sew
eral Thousand building workers
here, besides strikes in ten or
twelve textile and iron establishments,
further lessen purchasing power for
the time. But anticipation of improved
demand for goods is general, and many
are manufacturing and buying beyond
present needs on the strength of it.
Fears of financial disorders no longer
retard, though the redemption of notes
has averaged 1921, 900 per day for the
month, but the fact that only $500, 704
gold has been exported since February
2, against S26, 532, 1896 in January,
Strengthens the impression that fur
ther exports will somehow be pre-
vented.
The state of foreign trade is not re-
assuring. for while exports decreased
$5Oo,o0o here, and "a, 100, 900 at all points
in January, they have decreased about
S3,1O0,OOo here in February, and the
season has come for further decrease.
But imports increased SIS, GOO, 900 at all
points in January, about S0,6OO,0O at
New York, but have increased at New
York about $4,000, 900 in February.
The increase for the year thus far here
has been 1875 per cent nothwithstand-
ing a decrease of s2,24O,O 900 in sugar,
dry goods showing an increase of SO
per cent. sand other imports, except
sugar, 12.5 per cent.
Exchanges through clearing houses
are 10 per cent. larger than last year,
but 2o.6 per cent smaller than in 1893,
which for the first week of month
shows little gain. Money markets
have hardened somewhat, and more
commercial paper is offered, especially
in dry goods.
Liabilities of failures in February
amount to 81, $50, 122, against ST, $685.
$40 last year, S3,6l9,7 7s2 being in manu-
featuring, against 50, 1O9, 1886 last year.
and So. ,602 in trading, against S.
220,207 last year.
Failures for the week have been PA
in the United States, against PAS last
year, and SO in Canada, against 60 last
year."

Perhaps you would not think 80, but
a very large proportion of disease in New
York comes from carelessness about
catching cold," says DR.. Cyrus Edison.
"lt is such simple thing and so common
that very few people, unless it is case
of pneumonia, pay any attention to a
cold. There are a great many cases of
catarrh and consumption which have
their origin in this neglect of the sim.
plest precaution of every day life. The
most sensible advice is. when you have
one, get rid of it as soon as possible. By
all means do not neglect it," DIR. Edison
does not tell you how to cure cold but
We will. Take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. 1t will relieve the lungs, aid
expectoration, open the secretions and
soon effect permanent cure. 25 and SO

An Awful Wreck of Two PASSENGER Trains
on the Missouri Pacific Caused by
BiUndeE

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. 29.-Two passenger
trains on the Missouri Pacific collided at
Howard station, suburb eight miles west
OF here, at II o'clock tonight. Two men
were killed and three injured.
The dead: John Howard, engineer; Will
liam Catron, engineer.
The injured: George Trese, fireman
Dunbar; Buck Taylor, Wild-West show
man, right leg broken. A number of pas
sengers were more or less shocked.
The trains met on switch, and both en-
gines and three cars of the east bound
train were completely demolished. The
two trains were used for suburban traffic.
The east bound train had but few passen-
gers, while the west-bound train carried
theater patrons going home.
The accident was the result of a blum
der. The two trains should have met four
miles further west, but Engineer Catron
of the west-bound train tried to reach the
Howard switch in time to meet the other
train. Both trains were running slowly
or more dreadful calamity would have
occurred. At midnight a wreckage crew
was working to reach the bodies of the two
engineers.

CHICAGO, Ill, Oct. %. - Eugene V.
Debs, to set at rest the rumors that have
been circulating recently in labor circles,
has sent the following statement from the
McHenry County jail:
Il beg to state that there is no founda-
tion for the report that am to advocate
q new movement as substitute for trade
unionism. have found some fault with
railroad employees organizations on ac-
count of their conduct during the Pullman
strike, not because they did not help US,
but because they did help the railroad
company to defeat US, and this has been
construed as an attack on trade unionism. :"
The belief Is general among A. r. U.
men, however, that Debs has a grievance
against some of the officers of the organi-
cation, which will result in some changes
in the list of officials.

A Move Made To,card Getting in Line

president thought that some note should
be taken of the steps being made to secure
the Republican Convention for this City.
On motion of ]. G. Conroy it was decided
to hold special meeting during the week
for the purpose of subscribing money to
the National Republican Convention fund.
The amounts suggested ranged from $1,000
to $4,000.
j. II. Irvine thought that the club
might do something in the way of regu-

spoke especially in reference to the hard
ships inflicted upon the public by the re-
fusal of the railway company to grant
transfers on the electric line to and from
the Mission on the Kearny and North
Beach Railway. He thought such mat
ters should be at the pleasure of the Board
of Supervisors instead of at the will of the
corporation.
A resolution condemning the adminis-

but rather energetic speech on the part Of
