WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.
No Indication Yet as to the Effect of the
Election.

No Indication Yet as to the Effect of the
Election.
New YORK, Nov. Or. G. Dun q
Co. weekly review of trade says: sit
has been a broken week, and just after
elections in the most important states,
operations rarely have much signif-
canoe. Business may be largely af-
fected in time, but as yet there is
scarcely any indications what the
effect will be. The controlling power
at present is the effort to readiust
prices after the remarkable rise of last
summer in important materials and
products in the struggle of great COM
binations to prevent decline.
1.-The purchase of competing inter-
ests now gives the Fl. C. Frick com
pany ownership of II, $50 out of IT, 934
coke ovens in the ConneIlsville region,
and practically control of more than
three-quarters, and an advance in the
price of coke to 81 is expected, as the
Carnegie company has been buying up
supplies at low prices for months in
advance. Yet the price of Bessemer
pig is lower, S14. IS at Pittsburg, and
billets are lower because there is
scarcely any demand for rails at the
combination price
''Many wooden mills are closing to
walt Tor OrQSrS, UnOuSH GH0 demand / s
fairly satisfactory for some dress
goods and worsteds, sand the Washing
ton mills open clay worsteds at 10
cents advance. But prices. of these
and most qualities of woolens are still
uncertain, for manufacturers do not
know yet what they have to meet
"Wheat falls back with great reluct-
ance from it's summer rise of 20 cents,
but has declined IL cents for the
week, Western receipts being 8, OO9, $40
bushels, against 5,s45, 032 bushels for
the same week last year. The belief
IN crop much smaller than last year
has to resist actual receipts of Is, 1885,
500 bushels in six weeks, against 3d.
446, 0O5 last year, and Atlantic exports
have been only 5000, 424 bushels, flour
included, against IL, 347, GIG last year.
The reports of winter wheat from
some States are also better.
Corn comes forward largely, re-
ceirts being more than double last
! years, and nearly 1000, 900 bushels
went abroad. The rapid marketing
of supplies of wheat from Russia and
| Argentina, and the larger exports of
corn from this country both tend to
lessen the future demand for Ameri-
| can wheat.
Failures for the week have been
| $50 in the United States, against 261
last year, and forty-nine in Canada,
against forty-two last year.

his health is extremely bad, for the
French authorities have transferred
him from Clairvaux to Mines and have

A BANQUET TO DEPEW.
The Distinguished New Yorker Enter
tanned in Buffalo.

BUFFALO. N. Y, Nov. 9.-Never has
this city seen a more representative
body of citizens than assembled last
night in the Buffalo Club to do honor
to the Hon Chauncey M. Depew. The
dinner was rendered to Mr.. Depew,
not alone because of his prominence
in affairs of commerce, but quite as
much for the special interest he has
always manifested in the welfare of
this city. Mr.. Depew delivered
characteristic speech
He paid 4 warm tribute to two citi-
zens of Buffalo, who. he said, each in
his time did right; the one (Elbridge
G. Spaulding), in opposing limitless in
fiation of the currency, and the other,
Grover Cleveland, in protecting the
honest dollar. He said, in conclusion:
Il want to express to you my pro-
found appreciation of this unique and
distinguished honor. You might have
waited until 1 was dead and passed
resolution to be engraved upon my
tombstone, but it is sweeter by far to
enjoy taffy while living than to be

NEBRASKA SILVER MEN.
They Are Not Satisfied With Their show
ing at the Election.

ing at the Election.
OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 9.-Much inter
est has been created among Nebraska
Democrats as a result of election re-
turns, showing the relative vote of the
two wings; Mahoney, administration
candidate for Supreme court, received
Il, 500, and Phelps, silver man. 5000
Both went on the ticket under the Su
preme court ruling, as Democrats, and
the silver men claim that this was I'M
fair to their interests, and that it was
not proper test. The silver men now
suggest that the silver question be
submitted to a primary election in
Nebraska, the regular Democratic
committee and the boiling Democratic
committee to agree upon primaries to
be held at the same time and at the
same places, and each voter to be
called upon to express himself on the
money question, and the State con-
vention to instruct its delegates &C
cordingly. It a majority of the Dem
ocrats of Nebraska are in favor of 16
to plank in the next national con-
vention they are to be entitled to the
delegation. If the majority of the
Democrats in Nebraska are in favor
of the present financial policy, then
these Democrats to have right to
represent the State in the national
conventian.
This matter, they say, can only be
determined by primary election and
the silver Democrats say they are not
afraid OF such an expression from the
voters. They assert that if the gold
men refuse to submit the question to
to a primary election they will be
stopped from claiming to represent a
majority of the Democratic voters.
The opponents of the white metal
have little to say on the subject, as
sorting that the election results indi-
cate clearly that the silver Democrats
are outnumbered two to one in Ne
braska, and they think they have
nothing to fear in future contests.

Idea Suggested in Frank Bris-
tolls Funeral Sermon.
Monument Will be Located in
Lincoln Park.

CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-Eugene Field is to
have q monument erected by contribu-
tions from children. The idea was sug-
gested in Rev. Frank Bristops funeral
eulogy, and was taken up by circle of
men who were close to the poet. The
fund is already accommodating, and long
before the birds and the bees of Field
verses shall return it is predicted that
American children will have done for
their friend what the English children
did for De Foe.
The movement WAC started at meet
ing in r. A. Walters house. tits planned
to have the monument placed in Lincoln
park. Each newspaper is to have rep
resentative on the committee. Each is
authorized to receive money for the mon
ument. There is to be no limit as to the
sum, and the nickel from the child of
humble circumstances, who has heard OF
''Little Boy Blue" or the trumpet and
| drum, will be as acceptable as larger
amounts from the more fortunate.
The men who took the initial step in
the movement were Melville E Stone,
Harry G. Selfridge. II. II. Kohlsaat

son Thompson and Victor F. Lawson.
