a Glimpse ut the Markets Obtained from
Dun & Compauy's Weekly Review
state Of Industries.
New York, Jan. 10.-R. G. Dun & Co.
will say tomorrow In their weekly re-
view OF trade:
Liabilities In failures for the first two
days OF January amounted to $918. 1876,
of which $240.407 were Of manufactur-
ing and s67S,3SS of trading concerns.
Failures for the week have been 43l In
the United States against 42O last year
and 53 in Canada against "a last year.
The new year begins with such uncer-
tainty that business Is somewhat re-
tarded. The proposed sale Of bonds Of
ferS ground for confidence In the flu
ture, but no one Is able to determine
what its earliest effects may be In the
money market and for the time 1t Is
a cause of hesitation rather than hope
lessness.
The movement OF stocks has been
downward notwithstanding fair reports
OF earnings, which show an increase or
S.S per cent. over last year.
The industrial situation has not ma
terially changed. There Is much hesi-
tation In the iron business. with s'ele
advance in Bessemer pig because OF the

effort to maintain fixed price.
Sales Of wool are large. 6.6sS.3OO
pounds for the week, against 5,235, Tia
last year. although a large part of the
purchases is of speculative character.
The opening of woolen goods shows
further tendency toward lower prices
in spite of the prevalent belief that
higher prices would be realized before
long II the revenue bill which passed the
house should become law. The cot
ton mills are generally running. though
not all with full force. ana some are
piling up goods without regard to the
immediate demand which Is compare

that the short supply of cotton this year
will insure them profits In the end, as
it has during the past half year.

Gated by payments through the princi-
pal clearing houses show the usual
large increase Of 14.G Der cent. over
last year. but In comparison with the
same week In 1898 shows decrease OF
1871 per cent. Part Of this difference
must be attributed to the shrinkage In
prices, but there Is also. without doubt.

tion Of goods to final consumers.

belief that he had fallen asleep in the

through the chute too quickly to permit
his escape.
Empaneied on the jury were DR.. f.
NJ. Pennypacker. A. T.. VOrhis, John

We the undersigned COMMITTEES
appointed to draft resolutions of
respect and coincidence on the
death Of Lille Plymale, submit
the following:
Whereas, Divine Providsnos
whose ipscrutable laws are be.
yond oar power, has by death fss,
moved Lille Plymale from the
scenes of life to her reward in
Christ's heavenly mansions, and
Whereas, We deeply deplore tke
loss of one who as a pupil in our
schools has been invaluable and
one whose faultlcss, humble
life has so tenderly endeared her
to all with whom she has been as
sociated. Therefore be i.
RESOLVED, That our school has
lost one of it's brightest, mose
faithful and most promising MEM
bers, society one of it's purest gems
and the bereaved family q most
lovable daughter and sister.
I'd, That this school tender the
mother, sisters and brothers their
most profound sympathy and con-
dolence in this sad hour of be-
reavement.
Sd, That these resolutions be-
spread on the Sunday School rec
ord and a copy communicated to
the bereaved family; also copies
sent to the Central Methodist and
locsl papers with a request for their
publication therein.
"How mournful seems, in broken
dreams,
The memory of the day
When icy death has sealed the
breath
Of some dear form of clay.
When pale, unmoved, the face we
loved,
The face we thought so fair,
And the hand lies cold, whose fer.
vent hold,
Once charmed away despair.
0 there at last, life's trials past,
Wen meet our friends once more.
Whose feet have trod the paths Of
God
Not lost, but gone BEFORE"
