compared With 326 last week and 33S in
the same week last year.
r. G. Dun & Co. will say Tomorrow
In their weekly review Of trade:
No important change in business ap-
pears but the number of manufacturing
establishments starting much exceeds
the number of, those stopping during the
week, and SO much so that the curtail-
ment OF working time in many cotton
mills probably does not lessen the aE-
grcgate productive force or amount OF
wages paid. There is q distinct in
crease in orders for woollcn goods. some
gain III the silk manufacture, {: waiting
condition with gain In one branch or
boots and shoes, and indications of bet
ter things coming In the iron and steel
manufacture.
Cotton fell to ~ cents after the agree
ment to close Fall River and other print
cloth works became known. but recov-
cred the quotation of week ago-7.31
ts-without further news. Spinners'
takinEs have heen SO small this year,
those Of Northern mills about 400 900
bales less than in 1Sai-5, that the admit
ted narrowneSs OF demand for goods
has at present considerable weight 1t
appears that foreign trade is also some
what restricted by narrowness OF de-
mand.
In other recent weeks, and yet are FAR
In excess of the consumption Of all mills
for a week. If all were fully employed. Z
At the three chief markets the asgre.
gate for the week has been 1868 700
pounds.
There has been only Slight stlffcning
IN prices, but more foreign wool will be
taken and stored. 1t is believed If
Western holders continue to demand
higher prices.
Prices of bessemer pig and grey forge
at Pittsburg have slightly advanced
with much more hopeful feeling, not
withstanding the comparative narrow
ness OF the demand for finished pro-
ducts, and In plates and wire and wire
nails there Is much more business. with
good prospects.
Reports that 25.0oo tons of steel plate
and sheet bars have heen exported to
England arc only indications OF the
temporary excess Of supply over demand
In this country, and are not supposed
TO nave realized any profit. Yet ii is
stated that prices Of cast iron pipe are
from 50 to So per ton lower at New York
than a Scotch works. Bars are quoted
ct the lowest price ever known at Phil
adelphia, but on the whole the demand
for iron and steel products is slowly
gaining. and q considerable proportion
OF the work IS fully employed. though
the gain is not yet enough for those
who have taken large stocks of material
or products on speculation.
In the money market there appears no
embarrassment, and tho large sale of
Northern Pacific and Oregon Navga-
ton securities to European capitalists
balances due to this country will not be
cancelled for some months to come so
That the point of possible gold exports
is removed still further.

injuries alleged to have been sustained by

SEES. About O'Clock in the evening of the
day mentioned the plaintiff while on the
Zoe card of his car, engaged in collecting
fares. was STUCK by an overhanging Or

&c senseless, suffering a severe scalp
wound, the loss of an index finger, and be-
ing under physicians care for long

where Senator Isham c. Harris so lately
ended his days. and known as No IL LIST

attempting to commit a robbery there.
Since the death of the senator his son. Ed
ward. with his wife and child, has lived in
the house, which is conducted by Mrs.
Jones and her family. There was no man
in the house early last evening, and when
the burglars were first heard Mrs Harris
thought the noise was made by the return
nome of her husband. But when she go;
out of bed she discovered that there were
two men in the house, instead of one and
her screams caused them to make a hasty
exit. They left by the rear window on the
second floor, and climbed down the rain
spout to the ground. Over the back fence
they went, and now the police are looking
for them.
A oolored man who was passing the house
at the time responded to the call for help,
and a few minutes later word was sent 70

In charge Of the office, sent Detective Lacy
to make an investigation. and several of
the Capitol policemen were also summoned.
They made an examination of the premises,
but could not ascertain how the burglars
got into the house 1t is believed they Sc
GREETED themselves in the house earlier in
the evening, and began TO operate about the
time they thought the occupants of the
house were asleep. 1t is not known whether
the thieves were white or colored.
