crease of only 10 per cent. was also in
part due to the alarm during the cam
paign, and the decline of failures to about
40 per cent of the September aggregate
gives stronger ground for the confidence
so generally expressed.
Ground for confidence is also found in
the collapse of two of the large combina-
lions, by which the iron Industry has been
retarded and the possibility that Two
others will be abandoned. Sucn state
of things within month after the cleo
ton suggests that these organizations,
formed when business was depressed, and
failed to support all the works in exist
ence are not expected to survive gen.
eral revival of demand for general prod
ucts. Beams are selling at $135, against
S1.55 two weeks ago, and there are sales
of bllets below the fixed prices
1.-THE bar combination is still undersold
by steel bars at IL cents, and nothing ia
doing in rails. because the meeting short
ly to be held will settle whether any price
shall be fixed for next year. Bessemer
pig at Pittsburg is lower at Go and gray
forge a SO; but there is a large demand
for vessel plates, both on foreign contracts
and for the lakes. Several thousand cars
have been ordered, and numerous new
buildings and bridges.

some partition of consumers among the
producing interests.
Wool manufacture is waiting, and while
more concerns are at work, the new de-
mand improves but little with favorable
weather.
I'm cotton manufacture, there is little
demand for goods, though goods are SELL
ing better, but with many added works
the production exceeds the demand The
market for cotton is weak With 4,750O00
bales in sight by December, when the
crop is usually half in sight, current esti-
mates would leave only 100000 to come
forward In nine months, and the larger
consumption in mills does not advance the
price.
The volume of business shown by the
clearing house returns for the week was
nearly per cent. over last year, and for
the month of November per cent, and II
per cent less than in 1892, the comparison
being the best for the past five months.
Failures for the week have been 379 in
the United States, against 1924 last year,
and in Canada So, against 50 last year."

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 4.-Peacock. Dun
woody & Haugh, one of the largest retail
dry goods houses In the city. located on
Whitehall street, made a deed Of assign
ment TO Willis K. Raglan to-day. Tho
debts of the firm aggregate $4,000 and the
assets are stated at $1,000. There are pre-
ferred claims to the amount of 11,7S6 in
favor of local creditors. The assets con-
sict of the stock of goods and sundry ac-
counts. Most of the indebtedness is in
New York. The II. b. Clafiin Company
holds claims to the amount of $32, i1,92 The
assignment was caused by pressure from
Miller Bros. OF Chattanooga. who held
claim for $780, which was balance due
on purchase money, the present firm hav-
ing bought the business year ago from
the Chattanooga house, which succeeded
the defunct house of ID. II. Dougherty d
Co. This claim has been transferred to
the III. b. Clafin Company of New York
and is part Of the amount given. Mr..
Dunwoody had been manager for Miller
Bros, and Mr.. Haugh was also In the
house. Mr.. Peacock was the senior part
ner. The business was valued az $4,000
at the time, and Miller Bros, retained
$4,000 interest as special partners. Messrs.
Peacock, Dunwoody and Haugh were Coz
partners, each holding $4,000 interest
IL. HaFr ~
Ter Bros, and since then all but $4,000 OF
the amount has been paid. For this Dal-
ance Of $l7, 900 Miller Bros. were pressing
In q way that jeopardized the interests
Of other creditors. To protect their cred
ltors, the firm made the assignment,
which was arranged so as to take care OF
the Third National Bank, Watkins IS
Dean, the attorneys, the Everett Ridley
Reagan Company and D. M. Roberts Of
! Eastman.
The assignment was this afternoon at
tackled by the II. B. Clahin Company. They
filed bill on the ground that It was
| special partnership and the general part
ners had no right to make an assignment
with preferences. II is alleged that MIL
| Ter Bros, the special partners had 10
notice of any intended assignment and
| that Il was made In contemplation of in-
! solvency and for the purpose OF delaying.
hlndering and defraudng the creditors.
The bill prays that the assignment and
preferences be set aside, a receiver ap-
pointed and the assets administered IN
court of equity, as usual in such cases.
Judge LumplSln granted an Injunction and
ordered the parties to show cause on sat-
urday, Dec. r. why a permanent receiver
| should not be appointed.
