been the Democratic leader of west
Pennsylvania, also sent word to Newell
that he would bet him to a standstil
at 21k to /; $1,000 to $4,000 was at once
put up, Newell taking the Bryan end.
Fleming Is the man who, at Chicago,
seeing the free silver trend, got on
chair and, showing a Mckinley button,
declared himself for the Ohio man and
sound money" and, pinning the Nc
Kiniey button to his coat, left the con-
vention and took the next train for

WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-Consul
George P Parker writes the depart
ment of state from Birmingham, Eng
land, that trade with the United States
in cycle materials continues to decline.
The steel tube trade reached its high
est development during the December
quarter, when tubes to the value of
$251 ,651 were sent to the United States.
During the June quarter tubes to the
value of $130,253 were shipped, and
for the quarter ended Sept. 80 last
shipments were reduced to SCI, 7s9.
Many of the contracts made by
American cycle makers have expired
and others are running out, and Mr..
Parker is of the opinion that trade in
these products win practically cease
by the end of 1897. No complete bicy-
cles have been sent TO the United
States from Birmingham for some
time On the other hard. a good
many American machines have been
sold in the Birmingham district. 1t is
not safe TO predict how long this de-
mand will continue, but as trade con-
diti0ns have improved generally dur
ing the past year, it is likely that
considerable number of machines Of
good quality may be sold.
