BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
The New Bond Loan Said to Give Encour-
agemcnt in Trade Circles.

agemcnt in Trade Circles.
New YORK, Feb. 23.-R. G. Dun s.
Co. IS weekly review of trade says:
1.-THE surprising success Of the new loan. and
the great confidence it has given to investors
on both sides of the water, and to business
men here, encourage many to hope that it
may be the beginning of real recovery.
In twenty-five minutes here subscriptions are
supposed to have been at least five times the
amount OF bonds offered, and in two hours at
London they were twenty times the amount
there offered Considering the power
which the control of these bonds gives
to regulate foreign exchanges and to
prevent exports Of gold, the transac-
ton has indeed greatly changed the financial
situation in spite of the fact that government
revenues are still deficient, and that domestic
trade shows scarcely any gain as yet. The in
dustries are not enlarging production nor
have prices of farm products improved But q
very important source of apprehension and
hindrance has, for the time at least, beenre-
moved.
Wheat fell to Sc cents Saturday last. and
has recovered e. only a quarter below the
price week ago, while, cotton and pork are
unchanged, and hogs and lard are a shade
lower.
THE volume of domestic trade represented
by exchanges Is but little larger than last
year, with allowance for differeno of working
days, and 32.5 per cent. smaller than two years
ago. The more accurate test the daily aver
age for the month is 63 per cent larger than
last year, but "a 4 per cent. smaller than in
1893
Dealings in iron and its products are mod
crate in volume, with some encouragement in
most branches, though structural works at
Pittsburgh are very busy. and the demand for
wire nails and barbed wire has never been sur
passed. But nothing is doing in rails, plates
are quiet, and bar Is as low as ever, though in
rather better demand for car works.
THE exports Of domestic products from New
York are smaller for the week and since jan
uary about 81 100000 smaller than last year,
while the imports have been S3,200,000 larger.
The government customs receipts for the
month thus far have been only &c. 431 ,1O9 and
internal revenue s6,2s6905, and the total re-
celpts being S5,27s,347 less than expenditures.
THE failures for the first half of February
show liabilities of s5,550986 against 8,534,O72;
of manufacturing concerns, 1,592,319 against
So .845 last year, and of trading concerns,
s3,353,019, against S4,7O3,749 last year. The
failures for this week have been BOZ in the
United States against 28S last year, and In
Canada Sc, against51 last year.

ACCORDING to the American Ship
builder, the large shipbuilders, Har-
land & Wolff, Belfast, Ireland, who
built the Majestic and Teutonic, pay
riverters 1854 per week; pattern
makers, Ss.27 per week; platers the
same, and filters $6.57 to $500. More
than twice these sums are paid in this
country to the same trades, and it is
no wonder that merchant ships are
built abroad instead of in this country,
with such wide discrepancy in the
cost for labor

ACCORDING to the official statistics Of
farms, homes and mortgages in the
United States, of the IL. 800, 152 families
in this country, 4,677, 479 occupy farms
and 1922, 973 occupy homes in the cit
les, towns and villages. Of the total
1880 per cent own their farms and
homes and 522 per cent. pay rent It
is shown that 72.O3 per. cent. of the
farms or homes are wholly free from
lncumbrance. The mortgages on the
farms and homes represent but 81. so
per cent. of the value of the property.

ALTHOUGH the larger retail stores

ALTHOUGH the larger retail stores of
New York employ detectives during
December, and still count upon losing
good deal by theft, few of them con-
tinne the policy beyond the holidays.
Jewellers and silversmiths keep their
most valuable articles in safe places
under the care of trusted statesmen,
and in the best of these houses every
salesman is known by reputation by
the firm, and many have been from
ten to twenty-five years in their places.
Any man coming from such house
with a proper Recommendation is
sure Of new place, and the pressure
to get in is great.

1t is now suggested that electrical

that it be used as fuel for generating

She Won the win Contest.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Nov. 1.-THE
most remarkable and sensational
will contest ever heard in Ala
bama, after four weeks trial before
Probate Judge Porter, came to an
end yesterday evening when the
jury returned a verdict in favor OF
Mrs. Grace T. Heineke, the con-
testant. The property involved is
valuable houses and lots at 40 and
AZ May street, Cincinnati, left by
the will OF Mrs. Julia Gleason, de-
ceased, to her husband, John F.
Gleason. The contestant sought
to break the will by alleging that
Gleason had a wife and four chill
dren in Cincinnati when he mar
ried her sister, Julia Arrico, di-
vorced wife of Frank Arrico, "a
merchant OF this city. The mar
rage of Mrs. Arrico to Gleason,
took place in Kansas fourteen
years ago. 1t was set up that
Gleason ran away from his Gin
cinnati wife and children with
Mrs. Arrico. Fraud on the part Of
Gleason and the insanity Of the
testatrix were alleged. Nellie
Jones, alleged to be the real wife Of
Gleason, made deposition in Gin
cinnati that she was Gleason's
wife, but came here in person to
the trial, admitted living with him
for ten years, but denied marriage
to him. Mrs. Henicke is the wife
of j. F. Heincke, a prominent in
sursnce agent here, while Gleason
is hotel man.
