DUN'S REVIEW.

New York, Feb. 15.-R. G. Dun Il
Cos. Weekly Review Of Trade will say
tomorrow:
Another weeks exports of gold with
drawals from the treasury have been
almost entirely stopped by the contract
for purchases of gold from Messrs. Bel
mont and Morgan. There has been no
gain in prices of farm products on the
whole; corn is nominally lie higher,
but with insignificant movement, while
wheat also, with movement hardly
half of last years, is lac lower for the
week. Cotton, with continuing large re-
ceipts, remains unchanged. Few words
tell the old story. The corn crop is I'M
deniably short, although probably a much
larger supply than official reports indi-
cate. Wheat and cotton supplies are so
far behind the worlds demands that
extreme low prices are natural and any
speculation for advance is greatly handi-
capped. Restricted purchases by the
West and South naturally result. Lake
copper is quoted at 1915. Continued
dullness is reported in cottons and re-
duction of prices by the Amoskeag mills
causes some hesitation. In the main the
works are well employed, but with ex-
tremely scanty profits, and considerable
doubt whether the market will be found
for accommodating stocks of some goods.
Trade in woolens is by no means sat
isfactory, though of fairly large volume

FINANCIAL REVIEW.

New York, Feb. J.-Bradstreet's Fl
nancial Review tomorrow will say:
The heavy SHOWS of the last few weeks
have aggravated the business portion of
Western lines in general. This is re-
hectcd by Il generally bearsh feeling
in regard to the granger stocks, although
in none of these stocks with the exception
of Northwestern did the selling seem to
develop any pressure of long stock.
The only other market in which there
has been any activity was the indus
trials. The manipulation of sugar has
been principally in the hands of an indi-
vidual trader and was confined to narrow
limits, until the close of the week, when
there was selling based on the belief that
tn bill removing the Ito difiierential
duty would pass the senate.
Attempts have been made to mark down
distillers, land some Misrepresentation
seems to have prevailed in regard to the
borrowing of a small amount of money
by the receivers and their policy toward
holders of rebate vouchers. a',.
The coal stocks were affected by re-
ports that the proposed combination was
virtually failure, Jersey Central being
especially weak on Friday.

STRIKE IN GALVESTON.
Cotton and Wooden Mill Operatives Have
Their Grievances.

Galveston, Tex, Feb. 19-(Special.)-
Three hundred operatives of the cotton
and wooden mills went out ON strike yes.
terday evening.
Striking operatives say that they were
laid off two and one-half days last weei
during the cold spell, which time they
were asked to make up by working an adj
ditional hour each evening. The regular
hours are il per day, which they claim
that it is too hard on the women and chill
dren to be obliged to extend their hours to
II. Then they complain that while the
mill agrees to pay them for the extra hour
it does not pay for such time in proportion
to the regular wages and that operatives
who receive 80 cents per day are allowed
but cents for the extra hour.

SWEETLY SLEEPING
The Peaceful Sleep of Death in the
Beautiful City of the Dead.

The Peaceful Sleep of Death in the
Beautiful City of the Dead.
Last afternoon at 4 o'clock her heart
broken loved ones and tender friends
laid away in the silent city of the dead
the mortal remains of Mrs. Ellen Doug
las Miller. 1t was almost like an April
day; day whose genial sunshine seemed
to yearn to kiss back into warmth again
the frozen ground, to better fit it for re-
ceiving in it's embrace the frail casket
of such precious soul. Careful hands
had clad the sides of her lowly bed with
evergreen, and Mother Nature has taken
to herself one of her noblest daughters,
whose tender memory can never die.
DR.. Wright, with fine discretion, great
earnestness and beauty, conducted the
religious services at the house and grave.
A quintet composed of Mrs. John Maxcy,
Mrs. De Lock Brush and Miss Lila Belle
Waggener, and Messrs. Stacy and Con-
dit, touchingly rendered two exquisitely
sad and beautiful selections, the great
favorites of Mrs. Miller. Those who SO
tenderly bore her frail form
to its last resting place were:
General Handy, Major Little
field, Captain Shelley, Colonel Thornton,
Dr. Iglehart and Messrs. McLau-
rim, Houghton and Boroughs. The
very large attendance of sorrowing friends
and the abundance of exquisite flowers.
despite the almost absolute dearth Of
them, because of the terribly cold weather
OF last week, prove in no uncertain way
IN what high estimation Mrs. Miller was
universally held. =,
A sanity woman has gone from among
us. The light of day is shut out from her
loved ones. Time alone can assuage such
grief. She rests in peace-heaven is her
home

in medium and low grades, but prices
have been generally reduced and cOnpetl-
ton with cheap foreign goods is felt
somewhat more. Sales of wool continue
within about a sixth of weeks normal
supply for Eastern mills, amounting to
5,0S4 400 pounds, of which 3,o93,6O0
were domestic. Fine tieeces are not
stronger and sales of Ohio Xxx are quoted
at 16 1-2c.
Failures for the week were go in the
United States against 322 last year, and

Is II A TRUST2

ST. Louis. Feb. 19.-The Arkansas and
Missouri Yellow Pine company is the
name of new organization preparing to
open offices in this city, but those inter
ested deny that it is lumber trust. Ac-
cording to one of the members, 20 of
the largest mills in the two states, with
an annual output of 300,000,0O0 feet,
will hereafter work under one manage
ment, with one central Office in this city.
The officers claim that it is only intended
to reduce expenses in line with reduced
sale price, and that the output of the 20
mills is but one-tenth of the country $
output and, therefore, could not control
the market.

HAYWARD MURDER TRIAL.

Evidence Given That Will Tend TO I'm
peach the Evidence Of BliXt.
Minneapolis, Feb. 19.-In the Hay
ward murder trial today Frank Erhart
who was summoned by his brother when
the body was found, gave evidence
which seemed to impeach the evidence of
BliXt in one important particular.
He sworc that he found in the dirt
near where the body lay II heel mark and
then toe mark Of a lady's shoe. There
was also the trace of where the foot had
dragged TO where the body lay. This
evidence went to show that Miss Ging's
body was pulled out Of the buggy feet
first instead of head first, as the muir
derer testified. OF course this will over
throw the theory that the fracture of
the skull and the confusion were caused
by the fall from the buggy and would
help impeach the evidence of BliXt.
George Grindall was an important wit
ness for the defense He was standing
on First avenue north, between Fourth
and Sixth streets, at o'clock on the
night Of the murder Grindall had an
appointment with young woman at the
point named and was waiting there for
her. Standing short way from him
was q man like that man there" said
the witness, pointing to Attorney Sweet
yer.
Grindall saw Miss Cling drive up. The
man he saw waiting there got in the
buggy with her and they drove away.
This point is about Il block from the
West hotel whence Miss Cling started on
her fatal ride.
The description given hy Grindall of the
man who joined her does not at all fit
Harry Hayward.
There was u wordy quarrel between
the lawyers over Grindal's testimony,
each side intimating that the other side
was manufacturing evidence. The clus-
i've third man." whom the defense has
been SO earnestly chasing, thus hobs up
again in Grindalrs evidence, but in
different guise from the descriptions of
him limited at heretofore in the defense
evidence.
George Grindall resumed the stand this
afternoon. He said that efforts had been
made to corrupt his testimony by an at
torney, Charles Ebert Ebert, he said,
described to him what he must say on
the stand, trying to have short man
substituted for n tall man. Ebert had
been representing himself as one of Err
wins men. Last night he informed Mr..
Irwin of Eberts actions.
Judge Walker of st. Paul testified to
having seen Miss Cling in st. Paul sew
eral times with a man who wore an iron
gray mustachc. Several other witnesses
were heard, but nothing of Importance
was learned.
After adjournment of court there was
an immense crowd outside TO see Harry
taken to jail. Then there was n demon
stration of cries of "hang him, hang him"
The prisoner looked over his shoulder at
the crowd and smiled with II peculiar
snecr that he knows so well how to as
sumo The yell had not phased him and
he went to jail as gay as ever.

and report of which will be found in
another part of this report. The other
tariffs made by the commission we deem
it unnecessary here to mention, further
than to say that very few complaints
have been made in regard to them, and in
the main we believe them to be satisfac-
tory to all interests concerned.
Rate making not being among the ex-
act sciences, no uniform rules can be laid
down for the government of rate making
authorities and the public may not know
when wrong is done or an error COM
mitted unless it be too gross to be hidden
under the cover of mistake. 1t is
therefore, a delicate task to undertake
the determination of issues with no sign
board to mark the way of the investigator,
and no guide to the right except con
science and determination to mete out
Justice as one may be able to see what is
just and right. But such is the task of
Il railroad commission. Chief among the
controlling factors in rate making is COM
petitive conditions Rates to be of advan-
tage to the public must in all cases be
made so as to permit carriers desiring
to do so to participate in the traffic of any
locality reached by them. In pursuance
of this policy rates are sometimes made
lower at given points on the same line
than they are at intermediate points.
