weekly Trade Review of These Two
Leading Agencies.

Leading Agencies.
X. q. Dun e Co., in their weekly re-
view OF trade issued on Saturday, say:
Rarely have markets sustained such
surprises as they have received of late,
with SO little loss. Foreign conditions
and London alarms, the collapse of the
iron ore combination, the destructive
goods In the Mississippi valley, and the
decision OF the Supreme Court against
railroad associations, have been used
to the utmost, but not even in railroad
stocks has the result been important.
With confidence that better times and
larger business are coming, men are
less disposed every day to throw away
dood Investments, and the very fact
that prices of products are low is re-
sarded as q guarantee against much
further decline. Ina!l industries, also,
number of mills, shops and hands ut
work, gradually increases.
Cotton was helped up an eighth by
the flood, but has lost half the gam.
Manufacturing is more hopeful. With
put change in prices goods were in
better demand, and sales of 500, 600
pieces of print cloth result in a stronger
tone. The final dissolution of the lake
iron ore pool has been expected ever
since the Carnegie Rockefeller deal,
and lnsures low prices for ore the com
ing year, though, perhaps. not lower
than IN 1895. Prices are still ad-
vancingSyand of many kinds have risen
two or three times during the past
month. The wool manufacture is stead
i!y increasing, but cautiously, as it is
too early to anticipate results from
changes which may be made in
duties
The failures of the week have been
POI in the United States, against 25G
last year, and 80 in Canada, against 80
last year.
Bradstreet's report says: "While
the week is not without favorable fea-
lures. unfavorable influences have been
more numerous. Leading month mar
kets show no change. Merchantile col
lectlons are slow and the volume of
funds offered Is in excess of the de-
mands 1or discounts. The tendency of
lnveStmentSto to improve has temporarily
disappeared, under the influence of the
Supreme Court anti trust decision,
which apparently threatens arrange
mcnts for the maintenance of railway
rates, rs well aS railway trades-union
activity, SO far rs it may affect inter
State commerce. The tendency of
prices Is downward, quotations being
lower for wheat, Indian corn, oats. cof-
fee, cotton and for pig iron and steel
billets and the lower priced ore

Attor, {ieneral McKenna has di-
rected ''9 ct Attorney McFarlanc at
New u b take an appeal from the
decision he circuit court of appeals,
delivered a New York last Friday, in
favor of til Joint Traffic Association,
composed /. eastern trunk lines. This
case is cl@Sly allied to that of the
Trans Misf 'ri freight association, i'll
which the pfited States Supreme Court
last Monde held that the antitrust law
was consti Itional. The same questions
are involed as in the Trans issouri
case wit the addition that the Joint
Traffic association is charged with vio-
lation g the anti-pooi. az clause of the
lnter-sate commerce act. The circuit
courtbf appeals held that the United
State had no right to go into court III
an gtempt to dissolve the association
und5r either the antitrust or Interstate
copmerce acts. 1t is contended at the
department of justice that even the dis
setting opinion of the Supreme Court
did not sustain points sustained by tho
circuit court of appeals.
When the papers in the appeal arrive
the Attorney-General will ask the
Supreme court to advance the case
30 that it may be heard at the present
term.

HARD BLOW AT RAILROADS.
Euprcme Court Decision May Cause a
Big Rate War.

Euprcme Court Decision May Cause a
Big Rate War.
Within week it is expected by high
railroad officials that not one of the or
CARNATIONS having jurisdiction over
passenger and freight rates will be in
existence in this country. rs n result of
the plain decision of the United States
Supreme Court that all associations
which have for their purpose the main
tenance of agreed rates and the division
of traffic are illegal. The oldest organi-
cations of this character must go to
pieces. In fact the work of disintegra-
ton has begun, the legal advisers of the
great railroads being quick to grasp the
hopelessness of the situation, so far as
continued membership in these associa-
tions was concerned. General Solicitor
kenna, of the Santa Fe system, advised
the traffic manager of that road to with
draw Immediately from all freight as
sociations of which it has been mem.
bcr.
On reliable authority it was stated
that the following important lines have
also decided to give notice of withdraw
al: The Wisconsin Central, ST. Louis
and San Francisco, the Minneapolis
and st. Louis and the Chicago Great
Western.
The peremptory action of all these
companies means the certain disruption
OF the following associations and COM
mittees: Western Freight Association,
Trans Continental Passenger Associa-
ton, Southwestern Traffic Association,
Trans Missouri Association, Southwest
ern Passenger Committee, Mississippi
Valley Freight Committee, st.
Paul and Minneapolis Rate Associa-
tion, Colorado Freight Association, the
Local Passenger Association of st.
Louis, Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Den
yer and Chicago, Local Freight Agents
Association Of Chicago, st. Louis Asso-
citation of General Passenger Agents,
Chicago and st. Louis Traffic Associa-
tion, Western Classification Committee
aud Minneapolis Central Freight Asso-
ciation
The concensus OF opinion is that q
period of widespread and disastrous
rate disturbance is at hand, because
each road can now do as it pie ,ases, and
cut rates, openly and secretly, regard
less of the interstate commerce law
Railroad men and shippers agree that
such conditions will work injury to the
general public, giving big shippers and
merchants who get lowest rates an adj
vantage over competitors.

prisonment--Road VIII BE Built.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday
rendered u decision sustaining Judge
Benet in dispensary decision made in
the case OF the City Council of Flor
ence vs.. T.. A. Brown. The court was
divided, Chief Justice McIver and
Justice Pope affirming the decision and
Justice Gary and Jones dissenting,
and under the Constitution when the
court Is so divided, the decision of the
lower court is affirmed.
Inc principles underlying the decis-
ION are very important and of interest
70 every city iii the State. In stating
she case the Chief Justice says that on
June 23, 1896, the defendant was con-
Vlcted by the Mayor for selling spirit
nous LIQUORS within Limits of the
city In violation of an ordinance of the
city prohibiting such sales. From this
conVlctlon and sentence the defendant
appealed to the Court of Ses-
slons, Judge Benet presiding,
court on two grounds: First, because
the charter of the city conferred no au-
th0rlty on the Ilty Council to pass tho
ordinance claimed to have b ell violated.
second, because the Dispensary law is
OF general application and contains all
that Is necessary to the regulation OK
tho liquor question, and that the right
to prohibit the sale OF liquor is vested
by the Constitution in the General AS
sembly.
From this the city appeals and the
grounds make but two questions:
FIRST, whether the charter of the citv
confcrs any authority to pass the otli-
nance III question. Second, if so, is
