GREAT WEIGHT LIFTED
M'kINLEY'S HAS REMOVED
DEADLY BURDEN
That Threatened to Crush Out the Life
of Busfness-Dun q Co.'s and
Bradstreet's Reviews.

NEW YORK, Nov.s6.-R. G.. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
A great revolution has been effected this
week in the conditions which control BUSH
ness. 1t could not be in any fair degree
reflected as yet in transactions or in rec
ords, but there is ample evidence already
that a crushing weight has been lifted and
rolled away and the business world has
begun to adjust itself i'm a state of free
dom and security which it has not felt for
years. 1t was not strictly logica! that
wheat advanced &c, reaching SIC for No
vember and Soc for December. and heavy
realizing of profits Shove perception of
the fact. Western receipts were only
6.0S7, 157 bu, against S,0l9, $40 last year, and
Atlantic exports, flour included, were only
1.5SS, 35S, against 1,79O, S33 last year. A
growing disposition appears among farm
ers to hold wheat for better prices than
are now realized, although at present any
advance checks buying for export. Spec
ulation in cotton was also excited on the
theory that the mills would not start up,
as many have done, and would meet a
large demand for goods. But the advance
was met by realizing sales and a slight
reaction. 1t will be all the better for bust
ness if bright hopes do not hoist prices too
fast.
The election INN ediately stiffened prices
of pig iron, which reached 81 at PittSburg
for Bessemer. and the certainty that many
large orders for buildings and bridges and
other finished forms would now become Op-
erative, ~justiteS some advance. The future
of this trade now depends upon the eX-
tent of increase in demand for finished
products of iron and steel, which is likely
to be materially affected by the course
pursued by various combinations. The bill

Wool.

BOSTON. Nov. G.-The Boston Commercial
Bulletin will say tomorrow of the wool market:
There has been an advance since the election
of nearly 8 per cent. and some of the woods are
held for even better figures. The market has
been materially strengthened by the immediate
advance in foreign markets on the strength of
McKinley's election. During the summer holders
of Territory wool were squeezed for money and
they exported wool al panic prices to get spot
cash quick. Some lots of fine staple Territory

ported are holding similar woods for 35c clean.

which the election was discounted. The sales of

THE CLAIMS OF PURDUE
TRUSTEES SUI STATE AUDITOR FOR
ENTIRE SPECIAL TAN LEVY.
Resist the Withholding Of Money to
Make Up Overdraft On the Last
Appropriation.

The board of trustees of Purdue Cniver-
sity yesterday began mandamus proceed
ings in the Circuit Court to compel Audi
tor of State Daily 10 draw warrants for GER
tain sums alleged TO be due the institution.
The complaint sets forth that by al act
of the General Assembly approved March
IL. 1885. there was appropriated for the
university the sum Of so. 500 for the year
1896; that by an act approved March s a
special tax levy was authorized for the
benefit of the three State educational insti-
buttons and that there was collected and
available July /. 1896, the sum of $50, 0o9.2 2,
to the credit of Purdue University.
The complaint goes on to say that war
rants were issued by the State Auditor
previous to July 1 for SIS, OoO. which was
drawn from the appropriations: that on July
1 the trustees demanded a warrant for the
sum realized on the tax levy and We're in
formed by the Auditor that the amount OF
the straight appropriation had been over
drawn by 1850 and would issue a warrant
for the amount of the special tax. less the
oveIdraft. The warrant was refused. and
now the trustees are seeking to compel the
Auditor to draw warrants for the 81, so ana
also for S, 500 which, it is alleged. is still
due on the original appropriation of So. 800.
The action of Auditor Daily III withhold
ing the sum of So, 900 from the appropria-
ton was taken upon the advice of Attor-
ney-general ketcham in an opinion rem
dered May 20. The At-torney-general stated
at the outset that he fe.t undoie 10 reuuer

able July L, and the Attorney-genera
thought that only six-tenths or the appro-
priation should be paid to the institution.
He also advised, in order to be safe. if the
Auditor had paid more than six-tenths OF
the appropriation before July !, that he de-
duct the Overdraft from the special tax.
The Auditor had already drawn warrants
for 5000, which WAS 81 500 more than six
tenths OF the appropriation, and this
amount he sought to withhold from the
amount of special tax available July L.

the special-taX act Purdue viii get more

appropriations were formerly about $50, O0O.
and the first semi-annual instaliment of the
special tax Melted the institution more than
this amount.

AGAINST DIR. BROWN.
Change Of Sentiment in the
San Francisco Church.
AN EXPLANATION CALLED FOR
Members Want to Know What Matte
Overman Meant When she
Wrote Those Letters.

San Francisco, Jan. 51.-The affairs OF
the Rev. DR.. Brown, so far as they con-
Germ the First Congregational church.
have reached a crisis. The determination
of the clergyman to occupy his pulpit on
Sunday has resulted in the expression of
emphatic opposition from many influential
members OF the church. The Young Peo-
pies Society OF Christian Endeavor has
decided to hold its prayer meetings at the
residence of one of its members as long as
DIR. Brown breaches and the charges
against him remain without explanation.
Some of the Sunday school teachers de-
cline to go TO the Sunday school until the
protest which Mrs. Sarah b. Cooper has
made has been heard and recognized. a
movement is on foot to reject the report
OF the board of Investigation and OF the
trustees and standing committee.
At the prayer meeting which will be held
next Wednesday night a request in the
form OF a resolution viii be made to the
pastor, asking him not TO preach Until his
innocence has been nublicly established.
The treatment which Mrs. Sarah p. Cooper
received at the meeting last Wednesday
night is still the subject Of indignant COM
ment among members OF the church. The
position taken by Mrs. Cooper Is sustained
by Officers and members alike. Her re-
quest Is shared by men and women in the
church, and when the vote is taken next
Wednesday night upon the resolution ask
ing the pastor not to preach the opposition
to the pastor, II is thought, will be for
mi6able.
Nothing as yet has been done In refer
ence TO the formal charges against Mrs.
NJ. A. Stockton. The standing committee
has not yet received official information
OF the petition asking for an investigation.
and until the petition Is formally presented
nothing viii be done. There is disposition.
however, 70 bring the matter up publicly
at the next meeting OF the church.
