effort to push business at a period OF so
much uncertainty as to the precise terms
Of the financial planks TO be adopted by
the great political parties in national con-
VentiOn. The general l-merchandise move
ment continues as dull and conserva tive
as heretofore, retailers, with few excep-
tons, buying only for immediate neces-
stiles. Mercantile collections continue
Slow and unsatisfactory. and there is no
gain In the cotton, wooilen goods. iron,
or steel industries.
Trade In the central Western States re-
mains quiet. No Improvement is reported
from Chicago. as compared with the un-
satisfactory records OF recent works. An
Improvement in demand for staples at ST.

drugs Kansas City and Omaha report
relatively the best demand among west
ern jobbing centres, notably among
wholesalers OF dry goods, shoes and hats
and agricultural implements. The reports
from southern distributing centres an
nounce am almost uniformly quiet trade,
although good rains in the territories
tributary to Charleston and New Orleans
have improved the crop outlook and
wholesale trade. In Texas, corn is suffer-
ing for want OF rain
The total volume of bank clearings in
the United States for the six business
days ending with June llth, Is ss8s. 600 coo.
or 81 per cent. less than last week and
60 less than In the corresponding week or
1895.
So far as the movement Of prices IS con-
cerned, the contrast with last week lies
in advances for -four. lard. sugar. petro-
leum, and tobacco. Decreases In recent
weeks are followed by still lower prices
for wheat, Indian corn, oats. pork, cot
ton, and print-cloths. Practically un-
changed quotations are announced for

Wool, which Is not firm, is nominally un-

FOR EMBEZZLEMENT.
THREE SUITS INVOLVING SEVEN
TEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS.
Ex-City-Attorney Moreland, and HIS
Assistant, w. T.. House, Of Pitts
Bail I'm $4,000 Each.

PITTSBURG. PA. June p.--Three suits
for the embezzlement OF $1,000 were enter
ed to-day against ex-City-Attorney w. c.
Moreland, and his assistant. w. c. House.
before Alderman McMasters. This
amount of shortage is all that can come
under the law of limitation. although the
amount in reality is much greater. The
aggregate approximates between n quar-
ter and half million dollars. Should
the grand jury find true bills on these
three counts. the defendants will have
twelve charges to answer in court The
defendants gave bail in $4,000 each on
the charges entered. Their trial will
probably take place at the present term
of the court.
Controller Gourley is authority for the
statement that the Council will be asked
to appropriate $4,000 to cover the ex-City
Attorneys shortages, for which the city
is liable, in the matter OF damages for
street openings.
