APPOINTMENT WAS ILLEGAL.
Our Minister to Mexico Cannot Draw His
Salary.

Our Minister Co Mexico CannOI DraW dM
Salary.
WASHINGTON. Aug. l9.-Hon. Matt
w. Ransom, of North Carolina, is no
longer minister from the United States
to Mexico That Office was practically
declared vacant Friday by decision
rendered by Mr.. Holmes Conrad, solicit
tor general of the United States and
acting attorney general.
The decision of the acting attorney
by Auditor Holcomb as to the legality
of Mr.. Ransom's appointment to the
Mexican mission, in view of the
existence of section 2. article 6
of the constitution. which declares
that mo senator or representative
shall, during the time for which he
was elected, be appointed to any civil
office under the authority of the United
States which shall have been Great
ed, or the emoluments whereof shall
have been increased, during such
time" This provision apparent
~ fitted the case of Mr.. Ransom,
for he was nominated by President
Cleveland and confirmed by the senate
before his term of Office as senator
from North Carolina had expired, and
during that term the salary of the
Mexican mission had been increased
SIS, 900 year.
The constitutional provision through
which Mr.. Ransom has been deprived
of his office does not bar him from
being reappointed to the Mexican mis-
sion. He could have been appointed
without violation of the law or consti.
tuition at any time after the hour of noon
on March last, when his senatorial
term expired

A MONTH LATE.
fyssent Midsummer Dizziness In Trade
81 Was Due In July.

New YORK, Aug. 19.-R. G. Dun &
Co. in their weekly review of trade say:
1T is telated season; frozen May set
everything back. The heavy business which
ought to have been done in May and June was
pushed into july SO that the midsummer de-
cline due in July comes In August With
this in mind, one Is not surprised to find
the shrinkage from July to August rather
more nspicuous than usual Financial events
are used in speculative markets to create
apprehension Exports of gold have con-
tinued this week. and while the syndicate has
deposited enough in the treasury to keep the
reserve intact the impression grows that
another sale of bonds may be made. Exports.
are falling below last years. in two weeks of
August, SO, 800 900, or 20 per cent, while
imports show small increase OF 81 per
cent Government receipts for half OF August
are 81 1Si 1896 less than expenses. The d1sap-
pointing crop reports OF last Saturday, though
evidently distrusted, lessen confidence In re-
gard to the future of trade, even while some
spectators gain by them. Back of all doubts
is the fact that the industries are doing better
than anybody could have expected.
ACTUAL consumption of pig-iron is large.
and prices rise in the face of the increasing
output
.Sales indicate that domestic wool is large
ly held for speculation at prices about cent
higher than manufacturers feel able to pay.
Shipments OF boots and shoes have fallen
almost to last years figures for August thus
far, and orders are as yet scanty for the new
season. but prices are firm, and leather does
not change, though tanners decline to pay cur
rent Quotations-9A to 10 cents-for western
hides
Crop reports modified expectations as to
cotton and wheat and cotton spectators
have bought lifting the price five-sixteenths.
while wheat, with more evidence Of loss in
yield has declined IL According to govern
ment reports the crop of each would be about
two-thirds of the maximum.
1.-THE stock market has been quite inactive,
with a trifling decline both in railroads and
trust stocks as aawhole. largely Influenced
from day to day by financial rumors
Failures for the week have been 1876 in the
United States, against 229 last year. and SO in
Canada, against 45 last year"
