SMALLEST SINCE 1892.
Fewest Failures of ANY Quarte for Five
Years in Last Three Months.

New York, October 8.-R. 6. Dun's
weekly review of the trado will say to-
morrow:
Failures were the smallest ever known
in any quarter since 1892, and business
payments through banks the largest by
S26S. 900 ever known in September The
weeks exchanges are S.S per cent larger
than in 1892.
Crop reports now agree in putting the
yield of wheat about 900 to $4,000
bushels, which is nearly 200, 900, ,000 BUSH
| els more than will be required fol- home
use.
Western receipts continue to exceed
last years 9,00l, ,220 bushels, against {, :
| 243, 969 for the week. With less favorable
reports of yield, corn exports fall short
| slightly with small difference in prices.
Railroad earnings have been increasing
each week in Septem Der, compared with
| last year, SO that the aggregate of returns
for the month, 1878 per cent larger than
in 1896, are 1.8 per cent larger than in
| 1892.
| A large increase in the production of
| pig iron, with heavy realizing sales Of
! lots held on speculation, have caused q
decline of Is cents to $1,000 for Bessemer
at Pittsburg, though Grey forge there
has advanced IS cents, and pig is strong
| or at Chicago and eastern markets.
Wool has now reached an average of
2o.s7 cents Ter pound for 100 quotations
of domestic by Coates Brothers of Phila-
delphia, showing a rise OF cents since
a year ago, with a much heavier rise on
some qualities, but following an average
decline of IL cents from March, 1893
Dealings in cotton goods are delayed by
weakness in raw cotton, but neither
print cloths nor other goods have declined
since last week. The disastrous influence
of the great rise in boots and shoes and
| in leather during the fall OF 1895 still
checks dealings in these products, and
slow business has now brought slight
decline in the average price OF boots and
shoes, and also in prices of sole leather,
while hides are again a shade lower at
Chicago.
| Failures for the week were 212 in the
United States, against 296 last year, and
20 in Canada against 46 last year.

MEANS BRYAN's DENOMINATION.
Arthur sewaIl Says It Would Follow If
George is Elected Mayor of New York.

Philadelphia, October 8.-Arthur n.
Sewall of Maine, who was associated with
Wm. j. Bryan on the Presidential ticket
last fall, arrived in this city today ,ac-
eompanied by his wife. When spoken to
onithe claim that there is condition Of
Increased prosperity, Mr.. Sewall said:
"There is certainly more business being
done this year than last, but | do not at
tribute it to politics. I imagine the con-
dition of the crops in Europe would have
been the same if Bryan had been elected.
The increased business is certainly due
to the condition of affairs abroad and I
am glad to see it. 1t is part of my busi-
ness here to see If We cannot increase the
number and tonnage Of our vessels.
While disinclined to talk ON the may
orality contest in New York, Mr.. Sewall
said: cit is no fight of mine and I
have no doubt it will come out all right.
If Van Wyck is elected it will make the
national situation more complicated, but
If George is the successful candidate it
means Bryan's nomination for the Presi-
dency."

First Week Of Game Season

Pennington, October s.-Today termi-
mates the first week of the deer hunting
season and the woods are full of eager
sportsmen. One of the Oldest guides and
most experienced hunters estimates the
number of deer running at large in the
wild forests and land of the state at 15O,-
900. The outlook for getting deer Is
therefore very good, while thosschances for
bringing in moose and caribou are slim.
Birds. especially partridges. are less nu-
merous this year than in former seasons.
Since the two large deer that were taken
last Saturday near New Vineyard that
had an aggregate weight of almost 7oO
pounds, good number has been shipped
through this place, all rather above the
average weight. MIR. John Fellows,
local sportsman, shot good-sized doe
yesterday near Pennington Falls.

HIS CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE EX-
PLODES A BOMB.

Announce That Certain Tickets Will Be
Endorsed-The News hot Received
With Favor by Organization Which
Nominated Him.
New York, October s.-The most sensa-
t1onal event of the campaign was the
meeting of the Henry George campaign
committee in the Union Square hotel
tonight, in conference with a number of
the representatives of the organizations
which are supporting Mr.. George. The
campaign committee exploded a bomb
when it made the following announce
ments.
The Citizens =. Union county ticket in
New York county, the Mclaughlin coun-
ty ticket in Kings county, the Mullen
Democratic ticket in Richmond, the
Madden ticket in Queens, will all be en-
dorsed.
AT II O'Clock it was said that the as
sembly and aldermanic and borough
tickets of these same organizations had
also been endorsed, but this could not be
verified.
The Henry George men started in to
name city ticket Of their own and by
II O'Clock Charles Frederick Adams for
president Of the council, was the only
man chosen. 1t is understood that he will
withdraw as candidate for court of
appeals against Judge Alton B. Parker,
the regular Dem mocratic candidate.
1t is said the conclusions reached are
the work of x-Congressman Tom Jones
and some OF the members of the campaign
committee. What the effect will be is
hard to forecast, but tonight it looked as
If it would demoralize the organizations
supporting MIR. George.
The united Democracy which first nomi-
mated George, through its leaders, de-
olared it was done with the GeoAge move
ment. Secretary Stover of the Democra-
tic alliance, says his organization will
knife George if the ticket selected is
forced on it. The Populists seemed to
take the same view.
y Secretary DAILY of the Central Labor
Union, was furious at the action of the
campaign committee.

Madrid October SIN the course of the
cable message sent by Captain General
Weyler to Premier Sagasta, placing his
post In Cuba at the disposal of the gov

"If the functions with which the gov
ernment had entrusted me had been mere

two fold character of my 10 ission and my
duty as commander-in-chief in the face of
the enemy prevent my rendering resig-
nation. Nevertheless, although can rely
upon the absolute. unconditional support
OF the autonomist and constitutional par
ties, as we'll as upon public opinion, this
would be insufficient without the conf
dence of the government, now more than
ever necessary to me after the censure of
which have been made the object by the
members and journals of the Liberal par
ty and by public opinion in the United
States, which the latter is largely infu-
enced by the former. This confidence
would be necessary to enable me to put
an end to the war, which has already been
virtually concluded from our lines at

Senior Sagasta replied:
II thank you for your explanation, and
value your franknsss. I wish to assure
you that the government recognizes your
services and values them as they deserve
but it thinks change of policy, in order

Captain General Ramon Blanco Y.Are.
mas who will succeed Captain General
Valeriano Weyler as Governor General of
Cuba has had his chief administrative
experience in the Philippines. He sue.
oeeded Captain General Despukol as gov
ernor general of the Philippines in 1894,
and for his services in that capacity was
raised to the rank of marshal in May,
1895.
In September of that year he narrowly
escaped assassination. Prior to this GEN
eral Blanco had not resorted to extreme
measures, but spurred on by the personal
danger to which he had been exposed, he
issued a decree ordering that all property
belonging TO residents of the Philippines
islands who had been implicated In the
rebellion should be forfeited for the bene-
fit OF the government; week. grace be-
ing offered to those who were willing to
surrender.
Shortly after this Marshal Blanco was
appointed chief of the military household
of the Queen Regent. He has been de-
scribed as the ''softest hearted soldier in
Spain," and his whole career indicates
his disposition to employ mild rather than
violent measures. The impression in some
well informed quarters has been that if
appointed Governor General of Cuba he
would be empowered to approach the in
surgents with view of arriving at a
mutual agreement Of the cessation of hos
tilities. He enjoys the personal friendship
and entire confidence Of the Queen
Regent.
