DUN'S A REVIEW.
shrinkaEe and Failing Prices Except for

shrinkage and Falling Prices Except for
Wheat, which Advanced.
NEW YORK, Dec. I.-R. G.. Dun &
Co. say to-day in their weekly review
of trade:
With ali the s~hrinkage in present
business and prices, it is encouraging
to find but a small increase in failures.
Liabilities for four weeks of Novem-
Der were Sl2. OgJ, 293. against $40, Oj1, s73
last year.
Failures in the United States for the
week, have been 32i against 3s5 last
year and - in Canada against 40 last
year.
business IS still sluggish. In nearly
every branch stocks not yet distribu-
ted - con amer stand in the way of
new orders. Financial influences have
not h:ndered, and rarely has the open
ing of d session of congress affected
business 50 little.
Wheat has advanced about a cent for
the week. though western receipts
have been 7.Ol4.gII bushel, against B.
20, 7sS last year, and Atlantic exports,
hour included. again exceed last year,
2,326, O93, agai-s. !s>7.737 bushels.
Corn moves i-~, freely than a year
ago, the low pri., tiniering.
Cotton has bean wax again, declin-
ing a quarter for ;he week. and the
January option - points. The guam
titv which has come into sight, 81 per
cent. less than last year to date, does
not yet indicate a yield 80 or 81 per
cent. smaller, as many predict, though
the recent movement is very slow.
Wool has been slightly strengthened
by the London sales. Sales continue
large.
Iron and its products are lower. The
average of all quotations IS 81 per
cen below the highest point in Sep
ternber.
Boot and shoe shipments for the
week are larger than last year, and
manufacturers are getting increased
orders, with general reduction in
prices, but leather has declined. Hides
are about half a cent lower.
The stock market has been weak,
partly because OF sales by London and
partly because of disappointing re-
turns of earnings. November reports
showed a gain owe last year for the
months of GO per cent, but S.4 per
less than last year.

HIS MIND.

A Prominent Cuban Resident of WASH
inston City. Who Predicted spanish
Success In Dealing with the Insurrec-
ton, Now Feels Constrained to Admit
that the Day of Spanish Rule on the
Island IL Past.
WASHINGTON, Dec. IA prominent
Cuban resident Of this city, whose OPP
portunities for information regarding
the condition of affairs in that island
are of the best, and when the insurrec-
ton first broke out was reported as
saying that in his opinion the move
meut would not be successful, has
now changed his mind.
When it was told him in conversation
that not only Spanish officials, but
American travellers recently returned
from Cuba, had expressed the view
That the inSurrectiOn would be sup
pressed within n short time, he ex-
claimed, with an impatient sneer: The
power of Spain is broken, and she
will have to retire from Cuba. Ac-
cording to the official statements of
Gen. CampOs there are 40, 900 insur-
gents in the field-negrnes. mulattOes
and lower classes of whites. The upper
classes of the Cubaus, the property
owners, will, in self-defense and
because of their inclination, make
common cause with the insurgents.
The Cubans prefer even negro
domination to 4 continuing of
Spanish rule. Spain can not longer
maintain herself in Cuba. The strug-
gle may be prolonged for time. but as
was the case in San Domingo after
three years of futile contest, Spain
must withdraw. The insurgents are
waiting to see what the United States
will do this winter. If any assist
ance shall be given them here, their
triumph will be a speedy one; if moth
ing shall be done, then the insurgents
are determined to put the torch to the
island and achieve victory by that
means. Nothing is more inflammable
than sugar zane, and the programme,
if carried ont, will result in immense
loss and suffering. That it will be car
ried out ! am certain"

Personal AND LITERARY.

Mrs. Flora Annie Steel, the Anglo.
Indian novelist, while living in India

education, and prepared several books

The late Gustav Freytag in his will
