BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
A Hopeful Spirit Is Apparent in
All Lines Of Trade.
Evidence of MARKED Improvement Over
1894-The East Shows the Greater
Galn-Satisfactory Condition
OF the Industries.

NEW YORK, April 6.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
Commercial failures in the first quarter OF
1895 numbered S,sO:, with liabilities OF siT.S13-
6S3, averaging Sl2COO ench. There we're also
tnirty-fve bunk failures, with liabilities OF
Sl2, ,5S7, or about $3.50 900 each.
THE decrease in the number OF commercial
failures compared with the first quarter OF
last year is but III per cent while the de-
crease In liabilities is 5l6SO0.0OO or %. per
cent About 80 per cent In manufacturing
and 10 per cont in trading
Marked Improvements
There Is gratifying evidence that In most
trades and districts marked improvement over
1894 IS realized though on the whole, trade Is
smaller than In 1891 Everywhere, also, tho
occurrence Of Easter in March last year, but
In April this year. Is found to account
for much difference in the volume OF retail
trade, especially In dry goods and millinery,
and the severe weather and backwnrdness
OF the season, also retarded recovery
While the volume Of trade, In guam
titles Of goods sold is neverthe-
less larger Than last year, but
on the whole smaller than in 1893 the muin
difference in comparison with 1903 is found In
the general decline OF prices which makes
trade in value smaller even where 1t Is clearly
as large or larger in quantity.
Greatest Gains In the East.
Accounts from the chief centers OF whole
sale trade are also encouraging this week.
There is not only hopeful spirit but re u gain
in business, though not equally disturbed geo.
graphically or as to branches Of trade. Pay
mentS through the principal clearing houses
for the nrst week of April have been per
cent. larger than last year and 1873 per cent.
smaller than in 1893 Instructive comparisons
OF daily averages by months show that oil sec
tions have been gaining, but the eust rather
more than others.
The Industries.
1.-The test news from the industries Is that
labor troubles have been settled or avoided,
,Mahoning iron and eastern woolen mills being
again in active operation. Next in Importance
is the demand for many manufactured prod
ucts, which gives greater reason to hope that
recent advances from the bottom may prove
successful
Boots and Shoes.
"The success OF the shoe manufacturers In
raising prices grows more complete, and some
who first asked 2h cents advance now ask ~
cents, with more orders coming than appeared
when jobbers resisted 1t is conceded that
orders are on the whole smaller than usual be-
cause OF the severe winter Leather is as stiff
ias ever, and there Is no yielding In hides
Wheat receipts at the west were small last
week, but in March larger than last year, with
Atlantic exports about the same. Conflicting
accounts give no clear light as yet on the pros
pect for the next crop. The demand for
money Is somewhat better, but since April l.
less increase is noted In commercial loans"

WATER FILTgRss-EwlNe BROS.

the Standard Oil Company has just
closed negotiations for the purchase
OF the property of the Venture Oil
Company, in the Mcdonald, Pennsyl-
vania, field. The property consists OF
IS wells and several thousand acres OF
land. The wells have daily produc-
ton of 1000 barrels of oil. The price
paid was S55O.OOO. This is the third
recent purchase made by the Standard
and the deals aggregate S2,42O,OOO.
The Venture Company was owned
and operated by the Wheeling Nat
ural Gas Company. and the sale was
was formally made 10 the Forest OIL
Company, which is Standard con-
Germ.
An advance in the price of credit
balances by the Standard sent the
speculative market kiting up to Sl.5O
yesterday, but there was little trading.
The operators are recovering from
the shock of seeing the market jump
ing upward and are now looking for
new territory.
The South Penn Company have
made a good strike in the Jacks Run
Monongahela county, field. 1t is a
$50 barrel producer, but it had no er-
feet on the jumping market. Brokers
say the advance will continue for some
days and confidently predict the price
will go 10 $500.

The market here got another boost

little oil is being sold.
The Henry Oil Company well, on the

The Carter we'll at Centreville is a

The Royal Gas Company well, on

Said one of the best operators to-day
to the Register man: Mark it, the
price of oil IS not going up to figure
looked for by producers. When it will
begin going down, it will go down aw-
full fast and some people will be sorry
they did not sell on this big price.

30 cRoss-EYEp MINIsTERs.

A Methodist conference in New York
has barred an uneXceptionable young
man from the conference for the rea-
son that he was cross-eyed. He was
one OF seven candidates, all oil whom
passed well, being Of good moral char
acter and abundantly qualified for the
ministry. In his case, however, a IA
vorable report was not made by the
committee. which, being pressed, ad-
mitted that they had no other fault TO
ind with him than that he had sTa-
bismus. This created quite a stir in
the conference. many Of whose mem
bers could not see why defect of that
character alone should debar man
from the Methodist pulpit The dis
eussion finally threatened the peace Of
the conference, TO preserve which the
candidate gracefully withdrew his ap-
plication for admission.
This is funny. but there is a serious
side TO the subject as we'll AS the
Chicago Record points out, if sUabis-
mus was a serious defect that could not
be easily remedied, the action Of the
committee might be questioned. The
candidate should have had his eyes
straightened by a very simple opera
ton before applying for admission 70

would deny that his usefulness in the
puloit would be greatly limited by his
personal appearance 1t is admitted

REPraIIcAN LEGIsLArrREs


Is the country having a fOretaste OF
the blessings promised by restora-
ton OF Republican rule in the aston
ishing antics Of Republican legislatures
in various parts Of the country ?
Wherever the Republicans succeeded
IN capturing the legislatures incom-
potency, scandal and indecency have
been the order Of the day among the
State lawmakers.
The scandalous session Of the first
Republican legislature in West Nir-
GINA in twenty-five years is too re-
cent 10 need special reference. That
grossly incompetent, partisan and dis
graceful body will go down in history
as the most utterly worthless legisla-
tuPe that ever assembled in the state.
The present overwhelmingly Re
publican legislature Of New York is
conceded even by the New York Tri-
bune 10 the most boss-ridden. and ut
terly corrupt body that ever assem-
bled at Albany. Mass meetings Of the
citizens have publicly rebuked it and
the Republican Governor has been
compelled in a message 10 lecture it
for neglect Of duty. But needless Of
Gov. Morton and the people the leg
islature has turned for its orders 10
Boss Plat
The overwhelmingly Republican
legislature Of Indiana closed it's ses-
sion in anarchy and in the midst of
scenes Of brutal violence.
In Missouri the Governor will prob
ably reconvene the Republican legis-
lature 10 pass necessary laws which
it neglected in the regular term.
In Nebraska the Republican legis-
lature has Just passed a bill 70 place
the municipal government Of Omaha
in the hands Of the A. p. A. and band
Of Republican bOOdlers.
In Pennsylvania the Republican leg
islature has been sigualized by the
creation and enlargement of Offices for
the purpose of awarding party de-
pendents. But. as the Philadelphia
Record says, the people Of Pennsyl-
vania have been so long used to Re
publican legislatures and their un-
scrupulous partisan methods that
they have almost ceased 10 conceive
Of a possibility Of a better order Of
things.
In Delaware-but why raise the cur
tain on the shame and foul disgrace
which Boodler Addicks and his base
hirelings in the legislature have
brought on that little commonwealth?
In New Hampshire the Republican
legislature wound up its session some
what after the fashion of the Indiana
body. A Republican leader whose pet
measure had been killed opened an
address TO the Senate with the words:
Gentlemen. 1 have documentary evil
dence that twO-thirds of the members
OF this honorable body are liars,
whereupon the session closed in gen
eral riot
These are sample instances Of the
results Of the panic at the polls last
fall, by which Democrats generally
were thrown out and Republicans
were thrown in regardless Of fitness
or capacity. And worst OF all, We
have a Republican Congress elected in
the same manner, which is yet 10
come.
