REVIEW OF TRADE.
Strong Reasons for Hope That Business
of the Coming Year VIII BE Salts.

of the Coming Year VIII be Salts.
factory.
New York, June 2S.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review:
The half-yearly report of failures
next week will include about
$500. against 1893 for the first
half of last year, and liabili-
ties of about $sS,OOO,OOO against $1O1,-
57S,152 last year.
Failures for the past week have been
256 in the United States. against 2l4
last year, and 90 in Canada, against 35
last year.
Business is better, although the crop
outlook, affecting prospects beyond the
near future, is little less distinct.
Speculation has even spread to the
wool market and with an advance of
about one cent in prices the sales have
been the largest ever known for any
week-14 ,O67, 800 pounds, against $685.,
600 in 1892. Iron still advances, Bes-
semer selling for $3.50 at PittSburg,
and gray forge at $lO.S0. A further ad-
vance in structural forms is expected.
The western demand for steel rails at
the advance of $2 per ton is quite good.
The closing of its contract by the syn
dicate raises the treasury reserve above
$lOO,OOO,O ,OOO but the certainty that no
more gold is to be imported by the
bankers makes foreign exchange
stronger, and if large part of the
bonds taken abroad have been resold
to this country, deliverable as soon as
possible, as some believe, and the heavy
.l,.,,n lira
York, is per cent. larger than last year,
against exports about per cent. small
er, will render exports of gold alto
gether probable. Money still comes
hither from the west in amounts aver
aging about $25O,OOO daily, and COM
mercial loans are enlarging particular
ly on iron and other manufacturing
paper.
The volume of business represented
by exchange through the principal
clearing houses is for the past week,
35,S per cent. larger than last year,
really surprising gain and only seven
tenths of / per cent. less than in 1892.
while the average for the month is 2S.S
per cent. larger than last year, and II
per cent. less than in 1892.
The return is highly encouraging, in
spite of the comparative magnitude of
speculative operations. The contiden-
tial reports of railroad managers re-
garding the crop outlook are also gen.
orally favorable, and with these hope
full indications justified by results with
in the next few weeks there is strong
reason for hope that the business of the
coming year will be eminently salts
factory in volume, and owing to recent
advances in prices and wages, more sat
isfactory to producers than could have
been anticipated a few months ago.

UAZLETON HOODLUMS.
Advocates of Quay County Hang the
Governor in Effigy.

Hazleton, Pa, June 2S.-The more
hotheaded among the advocates of the
bill for the creation of Quay county
out of parts of LuZerne and Schuylkill
counties, and which was vetoed by
Governor Hastings, are venting their
Indignation against the governor in
very outspoken way.At FTaeland,
about nine miles from here, prepara
tions were being made last night to
burn Governor Hastings in effigy, but
the town authorities removed the figure
before the torch was applied to 1t.
When early rfsers passed the corner
of Broad and Wyoming street in this
city this morning they saw an effgy
purporting to represent the governor
hanging from a pole. A placard on
the figure bore an offensive inscription.
The figure hung until II o'clock, when
it was cut down by the authorities.
Several prominent citizens of Halle
ton are said to have sent messages to
Governor Hastings denouncing him for
vetoing the Quay county bill, and the
newspapers speak of the governor in
the harshest terms. The governor was
expected to come here shortly and If he
does his reception may be a warm one.
