THE WEEK IN TRADE

Bradstrcet's Weekly Review

Bradstreet's Weekly Review.
Bradstreet's Weekly Review of Trade
Guys: There has been no improvement in
general trade this week, exception holiday
s%pecialties. Unreasonable weather has
Mgain delayed the demand for winter
goods and the appFsach Of the period for
stock taking will l,rolong the season OF
dizziness well into 1,ext month.
The tendency eli prices ,is more con-
spiciously downward, noticeably for Besse-
mer pig iron, ssctl billets, rails, hides,
leather, flour, wheat corn, oats, lard, cOtt
ton and petroleum. Dry goods are de-
pressed by the large stock IF print cloths
in the hands Of manufacturers, and al
though some New England wooden mills
are well supplied with orders, there is no
revival in WOODEN manufacturing. Some
makers are waiting for the goods market
to start up.
Exports of Wheat, flour included as
wheat, from both coasts of the United
States this week show;a marked increase
as compared withtthe preceding week and
corresponding week in the preceding year;
amounting to 4,222,,7A bushels, contrasted
with 1853, GOO bushclsllast week and 2,45S,-
600 bushels in the corresponding week last
year.
Exports of Indian corn this week are
also heavy, amounting o3,b4l,2 sS bushels,
twice as much asiin,the preceding week.

A VERY THIN STORY
SPANISH UNABLE TO PRODUCE
MAcEo'S BODY.
The Rcpor, WIS concoc.ed by wey-
Ter and Sent Out to Counteract the
bad Eject of the Cuban's Success
tn Crossing the Trocha.
Ten. a Very Thin story.

4H~ssG q vSs SOh
Maj. Cirujcda telcgraphed to headquar-
tiers in Havana Wednesday that after the
battle Of Punta Bravo he had been Obliged
To abandon the hOtlicS which in the course
Of a reconnaissance his troops had dis
covered to he the bodies of MaccO and
Francisco Gomez. The guide Of the column
said that the body looked like Gen. Maceo.
Some IL standing by observed that Gen.
Macco was in rinar del Rio, but it is never
thelcss believed that the haiics were those
of the Cuban leaders. The bugler of the
battalion 0f San Quentin was taking
away from the fallen Cuban n ring
when lie found that lie vas still
alive. lie thcrcnpon killed him with a
machette. The insurgents, upon noting
the small force of the accommodating party,
rushed in with a large number of the
troops and succeeded in carrying away the
body said to Ike Macc0's, but without secur-
ing any of the jewels and papers which
had been found upon it.
Following is IA copy of the letter written
in pencil which was found on the body of
the youth supposed to lie Francisco Gomez:
"Dear Mamma, Papa and Dear Brothers:
l die at my post. did not wan to aban-
don the body Of Gen. Maceo and l stayed
with him. / was wounded in two plascs,
and as l did not want to fall into the hands
of the enemy l have killed myself. 1 die
pleased at being in the defense of the Gu
ban cause. await for you in the other
world. Your son, FRANCISCO GOMEZ"
A dispatch to the New York World says
that the story of Maceo's death was con-
cocted at the palace to counteract the bad
effect of Gen. Maceo's success in crossing
the trocha between two Spanish forts near
Cunas without losing man.

that of the majority of $500 given in favor
of repeal, S.e26 of this majority came from
the three counties of Hutchinson, Law
renee and Yankton, With the highest ma
jority in Hutchinson, which gave 1890.
These three counties alone gave l,0&5 more
majority in favor Of repeal than ali the
counties which gave maiorities against re-
peal combined gave in favor of the con:in>
uation Of the law.
The highest majority given against re-
peal in any mi county was i'll Br0Okings,

munds, Faux, Hamlin, Hand, Hyde, Jcr-
auld, Kingsbury, Lincoln, Marshall, Miner.

Vigo, Spain, bee. II: Some of'the bodies
of those on the i'll fated Salicr, including
that of the captain, have been washed
ashore. The captains watch had stopped
at $3.50, presumably Tuesday morning, De-
cember 8.
The Salier WAS bound from Bremen to
Buenos Ayrcs via Corunpa and Villagar-
cia. The Coroatedo rocM are situated off
the southwest coast Of the province of
Gorunna. They. should have. been given a
wide berth before. the steamer. headed east
ward and then ina northeasterly direction
for the bay leading to Nillagarcia.
The passengers We're mostly in the
steerage. The disaster occurred during a
dense fog and in very heavy weather. The
Salier had a fearful passage from Bremen
TO this port. TWO of her boats were swept
overheard by the heavy seas which beat
over her, and she sustained other damage
from the same cause. 1t is believed that
about 400 persons persisted. The steamer
struck during the night of Monday last in
a ledge of rocks about two and One-hal1
miles off Cape Corobedo on her way from
this place to Villagarcia, where she was to
ship another lat of steerage passengers,
bound for Buenos Ayres. .A.large amount
of wreckage is reported to have washed
ashore. The search. made for possible sur.
vivors of the wreck has so far been unavail-
ing and but little hope is entertained Of
rescuing any of the passengers or crew.

Two Swindaers DO a Big Business
with an Old Swindle.
The people.af western Indiana are be-
ginning to believe that they are regarded
as easy prey tor all the swindlers Of the
confidence game variety and for footpads
and house thieves as we'll. Every news
paper tells the story of loss in It's commun-
ity. The inventive mind .Gf the schcmer
has brought forth new devices which are
calculated to catch even the wary. One of
the swindles frequently reported, is
worked by two men. One buys an
article in a store and pays for 1t with
a marked bill. After he has gone the
confederate arrives and makes a purchase,
usually a cigar, and after standing at the
counter'a few minutes asks for his change.
The clerk says he has not been paid and
the customer insists that he handed over
the counter e bill-naiaing the deno,nina-
ton Of the one passed by the first man.
He is sure of it, and remembers that the
bill was peculiarly marked. The clerk
looks in the money drawer, finds the marked
bill, apologies to the customer and gives
him the chance.

New Trouble for Venezuela.

Unofficial reports from Ncncsuela state
that serious agitation has sprung up
against the boundary settlement agreed on
between the United States and Great Brit
ain and has caused much surprise and no
little concern in official quarters in Wash

sailed for the United States Thursday and
cabled Secretary Olney that President
'Crespo approved Of the convention and
would call IL special session of congress to

Ways and Means Committee Will

A Washington dispatch says: The ways
and mea committee of the house will be-
gin work before the holiday recess of con-
gress upon the tariff bill, which is to be the
chief feature in the policy of the incoming
administration, and will endeavor to per-
feet the bill so that it may be presented to
the house of the Fifty-fifth congress, early
in the special session, which President Nc
kinley will summon for revising the tariff
laws.
This program was formally decided upon
Thursday night by a conference of the Re
publican members of the committee held
in Gen. Grosvenor's rooms at the Cochran
Hotel. 1t gives semi-otficial confirmation
to the announcement made a week ago that
the president-clect had concluded to have
an extra session and that the Republican
leaders had abandoned the Dingley bill,

by the house in the last session and

man has made a review of his work. He
declares that matters in the diocese are im-

Sold Again.

1t is once more reported from the e..

properties have been sold, and the price set
is $S5. 100000. The sale is said to include
the mines and mills at Lead, Terraville.

Terra and Highland Companies. The pur-
chasers are said to be the British Explora-
ton Company. who have been reported for.
some months as anxious to get the mines.
But Judge Moody, attorney for the Home
stake at Deadwood, says there is nothing.
IN the sale. The owners of the valuable,
property adjacent to the Homestake, who

Utilize Bran as Furnace Fuel.

The roller mill at kimball is doing It's:
share toward beating the coal trust, bran
instead of coal being utilized for fuel. AS.
it would be impossible to feed the furnace
in the ordinary way without endless toll,
Engineer Perkins invented a continuance
that feeds the bran to the tircboN autOmat-
ically. The ingenious device requires lit
tie, If any, attention. The bran comes down
from a floor above the engine room in a.
four-inch spout, a which point it strikes a.
trough about seven inches square, open at
the top, running across the top of the boiler
above the fire box. AT each end of the
trough is a three-inch spout running down
the side of the boiler into the tirebox. The
bran, as it enters the trough at one end,
drops into the first conductor to the tirebox
and the overflow is carried across to the.
other conductor by revolving screw. A
cutoff at each end regulates the amount
fed to the boiler. In case of a stoppage. an
overflow spout drops the bran on the floor
of the engine room and warns the the en-
gineer. The continuance holds the steam.
gauge to eighty pounds for hours at a tins
without regulating.

south Dakota Dairy interests.

"A vermillion dispatch says: Many OF
the creameries in this county are being
compelled to close for want of milk. The.
cold weather has made the milking and
feeding of COWS very difficult work, and as
a consequence the daily quantity is greatly
decreased. During the past summer in.
this county sever large creameries have
been either built or old ones repaired and
put in running order. Already South Da-
kota butter is quoted on the New York
market at a premium. The butter is much
sweeter and of a better flavor than the
famous Illinois butter. The grasses on the
prairies are very nutritious, and a large
herd of cows can be fed and made to give.
plenty of rich milk from them as food,
with perhaps a small amount of other feed

Sentence of Murderer of Express
Messenger Nichols COMMITTED.
Gov. Altgeld, of Illinois has commuted
the life sentence of Henry Schwartz, who,
together with Newton Watt, was convicted
in 1886 of numbering an express messcn-
ger Ill the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific
Railroad and plundering his car. The
communications, which reduces Schwartz's
sentence to twenty years, is, in fact, a par
don, as it will release him next spring.
The crime attracted wide attention at the
time. The murder was one of the foulest
i'll the criminal history of the state, and
was committed for no other purpose than
that of rabbery, the victim being a brave
and honest man who gave up his life i'll
the defense of the property that had been
committed to his care. Kellogg Nichols
was the messenger who was killed by the
man whom the governor is to turn out of
the penitentiary, and the recollection of his
sad fate, will it is believed, o almost
as much public indignation against Gov.
