WEEKLY REEIEW:OF TRADE

Stock Market waits for Loadon aud
Foreigners Are Not Inclined to Buy.
New YORK, March 2.-R- G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
No gold goes out, though sterling ex-
change has risen close to the export
ing point, and it does aot yet appear
that the syndicate has made any
effort to control the exchange market
London has sold out about 10000
shares of stock during the week, and
the market is distinctly lower for
railroad shares, though a shade
stronger for trusts. The stock mar
kets wait abjectly for London, and
foreigners thus far show more dis
position to sell than to buy. With
legal tender has not ceased. but since
the closing of the syndicate contracts
have averaged about Sl2O, 900 per day.

clearly not because Western receipts
are a trife less than a year ago. not
because exports from the Atlantic
coast are small. Spasms of specula-
tive activity must be expected during
every season, and when prices are at
the bottom, such spasms can only
mean an advance. Nothing is seen to
Justify any material rise, as supplies
in sight do not decrease more than
they would naturally on account of
bad weather. Corn is only shade
higher with Western receipts much
smaller than last year.
Failures for the past week have
been $50 in the United States against
261 last year, and in Canada 80 against

SILVER DEMOCRATS.
They Issue an Address to the
American People.
Claims Majority of the Party
Favors Free Coinage.
ARE URGED TO UNITE
Silver Will be the Paramount
Issue in 1895.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The Demo.
cratic silver manifesto, which has
been the chief topic of talk on that
side of the house for few days, was
made public yesterday. Representa-
tive members from fifteen states
signed the declaration at the instance
of Mr.. Bryan, but the canvass SO far
is very incomplete, and the list OF
signers will not be made
dublic until it is complete. Follow
in is the address:
To the Democrats of the United States.
We, the undersigned Democrats,
present for your consideration the
following statement: We believe
that the ablishment of gold as the
only monetary standard and the
elimination of silver as a full legal
tender money will increase the pur-
chasing power of each dollar, add to
the burden of all debts, decrease the
market value of all other forms OF
property, continue and intensity
business depression, and finally, re-
duce the majority of the people to
financial bondage.
We point to the overwhelming de-
feat of the party III 1894, to the oppo-
sition aroused by the veto of the
seigniorage bill and to still more
unanimous protest again the Issue of
gold bonds as proof that the Demo
cratic party can not be brought to
the support of the gold standard
policy.
We believe that the money ques-
ton will be paramount issue in 1896,
and will so remain until it is settled
by the intelligence and patriotism OF
the American voters.
We believe that a large majority of
the Democrats of the United States
favor bime tallism and realize that it
can only be secured by the restora-
ton of the free and unlimited coin
age of gold and silver at the present
ratio and we assert that the majority
has and should exact the right to con-
troll the policy of the party and re-
tain the party name.
We believe that the rank and file Of
the party should at once assert them
selves in the Democratic party and
place it on record in favor of the inn
mediate restoration of the free and
unlimited coinage of gold and silver
at the present legal ratio of 16 to / as
such coinage existed prior to 1873
without waiting for the aid or con,
sent of any other nation, such gold
and silver coin to be full legal ten
der for all debts public and private.
We urge all Democrats who favor
the financial policy above set forth to
associate themselves together and
impress their views upon the party
organization; we urge all newspapers
in harmony with the above financial
policy to place it at the head of the
editorial column and assist in the i'm
mediate restoration of bimetallism.

New YORK, March 1.-Two build
inrs, one in the course of construc-
ton and one in the course of demoli-
ton, collapsed In this city yesterday
and killed Eve men and fatally in
jured or manned or bruised nineteen
others
A house at the corner of Forty third
street and Tenth avenue, which was
being torn down by some forty labor
ers, fell with a crash, carrying sew
eral workmen to the basement, three
floors below. and they were most
completely covered with bricks, dry
mortar and iron beams.
The second accident occurred about
3:55 o'clock. Without the slightest
warning to the fifty men that worked
near it the central wall of the four
double tenement houses being erected
at ISL to 1877 Orchard street crum bled
and fell. With the wall went por-
tions of four floors, leaving a great
rent fifty feet long and thirty feet
wide in the center OF the buildings.
It was like a pit at the bottom OF
which was mass of tangled iron and
broken wood that covered many men.
From that heap in an hour had been
taken out one man dead and twelve
injured.

Physicians here and elsewhere in the
