WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.
Volume of Business Slowly Improving In
Nearly All Lines.

Volume of Business slowly Improving in
Nearly All Lines.
NEW YORK, Nov. l6.-Bradstreets
says: The volume of business improves
slowly in nearly all the lines. The
most active demand is among jobbers
in dry goods, clothing, millinery, shoes,
leather and hardware. and i'll leading
industrial lines, nearly 200 mills, fac
tories and foundries have started up
this week, One-half of them in iron,
STEEL machinery, tools. carriages, lum-
ber, glass, wooden and cotton goods
lines. About l3O other industrial estab-
lishments have increased working
forces or working hours, or both,
among them 10 .cOn and steel establish
ments, 10 glass works and factories,
each making lamps, clocks, woolen
goods and cotton. A partial record OF
the number cf men given employment
in industrial lines since Nov. 6, shows
An Aggregate of Nearly 10000.
Demand for iron and steel has not in
creased after the activity of week
! ago, Lut prices are firm-in some i'll
| stances advanced-and the trade con-
tinues confident Of large business
during the coming year. Cotton and
cotton goods continue firm and un'
changed in price Print cloths have an
upward tendency. Woolis higher and i'll
more active demand but manufacturers
are not supplying i'll excess of wants
Other advances i'll prices are for leather
shoes, white pine lumber, petroleum
lard, sugar, wool, corn and oats. The
conspicuous decreases in price are those
in coffee, pork and turpentine. West
ern jobbers report an increase i'll mai
orders. Mercantile collections through
out Central Western and Southern
states are easier. but complaints are still
heard from the West

PENSION CASES DIMINISH.

Report of Colonel AinswOrth, Chief of
the Records and Pension Bureau.
WASHINGTON, Nov. l6.-The total
number of cases coming before the
records and pension bureau of the war
department has been steadily diminish
ing, according to the annual report of
Colonel AinSworth. chief of the bureau.
On the other hand the percentage of
cases requiring administrative action,
or something more than mere state
ment of the military history of the
soldier, has largely increased, involving
much more work in their disposition.
A large number of inquiries are now
being received from descendants Of the
soldiers of the Revolution, and it is ex
pected that these will be. supplemented
by similar inquiries as to the soldiers of
the War of 1912, as soon as the military
history of these soldiers is complete.
Current business Up to Date.
The current business of the Office has
been kept up to date, more than "a per
cent of the cases received being disposed
within "a hours of their receipt, and at
the close of the fiscal year, not single
case remained on the files waiting dis
posal. Colonel Ainsworth says that
there are doubtless considerable num-
Der of persons, who from ignorance of
the old law, permitting their regular
muster as officers of the volunteer SER
vice, have failed to take advantage OF
its provisions. They are equally as de-
serving as the far greater number to
whom the law has applied, and 1t If
suggested that congress renew the now
expired act, this time leaving out al
limitation as to the time within which
claims must be fled

THE TEXAS is WEAK.
New Structural Defect Found in the Big
Battleship.

Battleship.
WASHINGTON, Nov. l6-The inquiry
which is proceeding at the New York
navy yard behind closed doors into the
circumstances under which the Texas
sank at her dock recently, it is reported
here, has brought to light another
startling structural weakness i'll the
ship. 1t was noted here with surprise
that the telegraphic reports eff the sink
ing of the Texas showed one engine
room filed through the watertight
doors closing it off from the adjoining
engine room. Tins led to investigation
and it has been found that the bulk
heads separating the ship into sup
posedly watertight compartments are
so light they spring under the pressure
Of water and cause great leaks. A
naval expert is authority for the state
ment that if the Texas sea valve had
broken, as it did out at sea, the vessel
would surely have foundered, owing to
the failure of the bulkheads and doors.

Report OF tie Commissioner OF
Immigration For the Past
Year.
With Few Exceptions Those Who
Came to Our Shores Were
Hardy.
Percentage of llliteracy Was,
However, Larger Than 1t
ShOuld Be.

WASHINGTON, Nov 16-Thc COM
missioner general of immigration, III
his annual report shows that during
the last fiscal year, the arrivals of inn
migrants i'll this country aggregated
343. .67, of whom $40, ,46S We're handed
and 2,799 were debarred and deported
at the expense of the various steamship
lines by which they came. OF those
deported, 716 were found to be under
contract to perform labor in the United
States, made prior to their arrival, and
2.O23 were returned as belonging to
other prohibited classes. In addition
to the number debarred, there were 23S
who became public charges within
year after their arrival, and hence were
returned to the countries whence they
came. The commissioner general
states that he knows of no immigrant
landed in this country during the last
public or private institution.
We're Usually Desirable.
With some exceptions, the report
states, the physical characteristics of
the years immigration were those of a
hardy, sound, laboring class, accus-
toned and apparently well able to earn
livelihood wherever capable and in.
dustrious labor can secure employment.
AS to occupations, it was composed
largely of the classes designated as
skilled and unskilled laborers, with
some professionals. The amount OF
money brought into the country by i'm
migrants was at least 4,9l7, ,3lS, and
probably was largely in excess of these
figures.
Percentage of Iiliteracy.
The report shows that of the tota
number of immigrants over II years OF
age that arrived during the year IS, l3(
could neither read nor write, which il
2S 63 per cent of the whole number. O

6,lO7 from Bohemia and Moravia; 5,2S
from other parts of Austria Hungary
2.l73 from Ireland; 1866 from Arab,

v. \. NJ 'CARTNEY DEAD.
Proprietor of the Cosmopoli-
tan Hotel Passes Away.
HIS DEATH UNEXPECTED.
Has Served the City as a Faithful Of
feer, both in the Council and as
Mayor Protein.
HIS DEATH UNEXPECTED

When the news was flashed
around the city, yesterday morning,
from mouth to mouth, that Hank
Mccartney was dead, it could hard
ly be realized that it was true, as
he was on the streets late Saturday
evening, and was even known to
have conversed with several after
nightfall.
He has been subject to asthma
for some time, and his smothering
spells generally came on him at
night, making it impossible, we
learn, for him to lay down when
these spells were on him.
He was apparently, a healthy,
robust man, and we did not regard
him so near the brink of the grave.
The last time we conversed with
him he was in the best of spirits,
Mr. Mccartney came to this city
when the Iron Mountain road first
reached this place, as a locomotive
engineer, and when the Marquand
hotel was completed, he got off his
engine, leased the building and ran
it successfully until he bought out
the Cosmopolitan hotel, then owned
by Mrs. Davis.
This hotel was a plank building
at that time. Shortly afterwards
he built the three story brick (now
standing) in its place, which he has
since owned and run, with the as
sistance of his son, W. H. Mozart
ney, Jr.
Mr.. Mccartney has been elected
alderman of his ward several times,
and was selected by the council one
term, as Mayor pro TEN.
He has been identified with sew
eral societies here, and his funeral
notice calls together members of
Border Lodge No. 672, A. +. Il A.

or, to attend his funeral.
He leaves wife and one son,
with good property all over the city
and some $l4, 900 insurance money.
His death is deplored by all OF our
people, and our city will miss him
sadly.
He was buried this morning at
Rose Hill Cemetery, and the long
funeral procession attested the es-
TEEN which our people had for
him.
We extend our sympathy to the
bereaved family, at his sudden
death.

parts Of the country in which
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and

perfect success. Dysentery, when
epidemic, is almost as severe and
dangerous as Asiaric cholera. Here
tofore the best efforts of the most
skilled physicians have failed to
check it's ravages. This remedy,
however, has cured the most malig-
