Tho Outlook Is Not Reported to BE
Very Favorsb q.
NEW YORK, Jan. 25.--R. G.. Dun d
company's Weekly ReUieU Of Trade says
Events have not helped business this
week. About 81 $4,000 in gold has been
Withdrawn from the treasury, mainly for
export, and the gold reserve has been re-
duced to about sos, 100000. Since Decem-
ber the treasury has lost in 20 working
days about S53,000,00o in gold and the
daily increasing dlstrust is liable to affect
markets unfavorably. The industries
have not yet found a sufficient demand
for their products to prevent further de-
cline. The number of hands employe d
does not increase and the strike has cut
off for more than a week, about half of
Brooklyn's street cars. At the bottom
business hesitates but the future is
clouded and the consuming demand has
not increased in January as was expected.
Heavy sales of wool, 6,567-150 pounds
against 1851 $50 two years ago, are in
part the result of the growing confidence
among the manufacturers that they will
be able to meet foreign competition and
in part because the prices are not thought
likely to go lower, so that some have pur-
chased beyond their orders for goods.
The receipts of foreign woods are large,
and holders are pushing TO sell. The
turers of woolens indicates general re-
duction of 4 TO 10 per cent. on last years,
but the quotations are unstable.

Brads reet'..

New YORK, Jan. 25.-Bradstreet'S Rericlo
says: Special advices from the distrb-
uting centers fail TO relate any marked
improvement in the movement of mer-
chandlse and the conclusion is forced that
the great trade situation remains as pre-
viouslv, characterized by small volume,
low prices, hand to mouth sales and an
outlook favorlnG a very conservative trade
for some time to come. The gains in de-
mand have been noteworthy only at the
eastern wooden mills for mems wear fab.
rics. Mills report Unexpectedly large
orders of mems woolens for fall delivery.
In spite of foreign competition tho cloth
ing trade is improving.
The dull resistance which prices in the
New York speculative market offer to the
heavy gold shipments and the rapid
shrink in the gold reserve would indicate
the belief that when matters come TO a
crisis relief is moro likely to be obtained.

had not expected this, and protested, but
it was of no avail This order was one too

was paid by some one, and therein lies a
part of thesstory.
On August is, 1854, John c. Hall, an at
torney of this City, mailed a letter to B.
Churchill, Topic, via San Bias, Mexico.
The envelope was marked, 'If not de-
livered in ten days return to John c. Hall,
go Montgomery street." The missive left
San Francisco at P. NJ. on the day men
toned, and little is known of its meander-
ings until it reached this City, the starting
point, over ten years later.
Four days after leaving San Francisco,
on August y, the letter reached Benson,
Ariz. Now the question naturally arises,
How did IL ever get to a town nearly half a
thousand miles from the nearest station it
could possibly have visited had it kept on
the path toward the city marked as its
destination? After leaving Benson, this er-
ratio epistle paid Nogales, Mexico, an in
formal call, reaching that city August %,
Just one day from the date Of its leaving

Then in rapid succession it Travelled

COLONEL TRUMBo's CHANCES
His Novel Campaign Made Favorable
Impression on the People All
Over the Territory.

Lee Fairchild, who has been travelling
over the State of Utah with Colonel Isaac
Trum bo in his recent Senatorial campaign,
is back in San Francisco again. Lee looks
coutented and fat as ever in. his new style
Utah hat, which. is said to generally pre-
vail among the leading politicians of that
section of the country.
He is bubbling over with the anecdotes
which he managed to resurrect while
there, and is confident that Colonel Trum-
bo will go to the United States Senate
from Utah. When asked how he liked
campaigning in that quarter he said:
NOW, that's matter of taste. Utah is
what campaigner would call a Sunday
school State. This is really comp plimentary,
for the Mormon people are rigidly religious.
Many OF our rallies were held in churches
or. more properly speaking, meeting
houses. While we didn't open or close
our meetings with prayer still our stories
with cuss words in them had to be modi-
fled. For instance we had to change the
word D-l to Satan and the hereafter fire
to Hades. But we were permitted to give
the latter to the Democrats in some form
or other.
''As you know it was not under the State
Central Committee, but was a small part
of what was known as the Crane -Trum bo
Troupe This troupe proved to be the
greatest drawing card in the deck of the
campaign. The troupe consisted of eleven
persons.
Charlie Crane, the father of the Re-
publican party in Utah. was chairman of
our meetings. He is ex-chairman of the
State Central Committee, and it was un-
der him and through his efforts that Utah
first became a Republican State By all
precedent he was the legitimate candidate
and choice for Governor, but through the
unnatural exigency of the convention
slate he was defeated. Notwithstanding
this, and against the advice of his friends,
instead of boiling the ticket he, being
snubbed by the State Central Committee,
organized an independent campaign, and
with an priori prestige advised the Re-
publicahs to vote his party ticket from top
to bottom. which they did.
MRS. Trumbo accompanied the troupe
and proved herself very strong attrac-
ton. She speaks naturally and with much
dramatic force. Of course, they have
woman suffrage in the constitution. But
had it been left to vote Of the people it
would not have carried. .

father of the child to see if he will not take

a natural attribute. They know. him to

a sober, thrifty, conscientious people.
Their temples are the old poems of Pales-

land of the coast. Kate Field who, in
point of opinion, has become scold, is
unjust in her criticisms of the Mormon
people. Religion, with a fresh inspiration,
has put padlocks and keys upon their con-
sciences so that they do not need them on
their buildings.
