. Bradstreet's Trade Review,

New York, Nov. 26.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Notwithstanding the appearance of
demand for holiday specialties at some
points in the south at Chicago, st. Louis
and in regions tributary thereto, general
trade throughout the country has shown
no general improvement this week. The
cotton goods industry continued depress-
ed. Consumers evidently do not intend
to buy extensively until they believe the
prices of raw cotton is ready to advance.
Competition from southern mills, more
particularly over-production by manu-
facturers who produce single staple,
underlies excessive large stocks and the
heaviness of prices. Converters and
manufacturers of cotton yarns are stu
ated relatively more favorably. Other
lines reporting seasonable distribution
are manufacturers of woolens, clothing,
shoes and jobbers of fancy groceries.
Iron and steel have not been in as act
i've demand as expected, and are lower,
notwithstanding furnaces and mills are
supplies with orders sufficiently to carry
them we'll into next year. A favorable
feature is found in advances in wages of
operatives in various industrial lines

HURRAHED FOR AMERICA.
Released Cuban Political Prisoners
Bring On n Riot in Puerto Rico.

Havana, Nov. 26.-Advices just re-
ceived from Puerto Rico say that a riot
occurred there yesterday. 1t appears that
steamer having on board number of
political prisoners recently released from
the Spanish penal settlement on the At
rican coast in accordance with the am
nesty decree, arrived there, and the lib
Grated men were allowed to land. They
soon found their way to drinking sa-
loon, partook of stimulants, and began
cheering for the United States, crying,
"hurrah for free America
This demonstration was resented by
the crowds about the place, and rioting
followed. The police were called upon
to interfere and compel the liberated men
to re-embark During the disturbance
the police captured the insurgent col
onel, Alipo Sanchez, who is described as
being incognito in Porto Rico.
Senior ARGOS Garcia, the governor of
Santa Clara, has arrived at Sagua in Or
der to be better able to judge of the con-
dition of the recOncentradoes.
From this day on these unfortunate
people will receive rations offered.
The Spanish authorities today releas-
ed from prison Thomas ]. Jordan, a
prisoner captured, according to the ale
cations after the landing Of an expedi-
ton by the American steamer Three
Friends, and Manuel Hernandez, who
is said to have been member OF anoth-
err flibustering expedition. Both men
were under sentence of death.
The government has also released from
prison Juan Arts, Augustin Cossio, Emil

pretending to have another prisoner, then
overpowered the jailer. The work was
done before the town realized the mob's
presence. Price had always been consid-

He was fully identified. The town is

CUTTING ON COFFEE PRICES.
War Between the ArbuclSles and
the Havemeyers.

New York, Nov. 26.-As result of the
war now being waged between the Ar
buckle Bros. and Woolson Spice compa-
ny the sales of coffee during the week now
ending have been far in excess of any
similar period during the past year. COT
fee brokers declared today that their sales
had been doubled.
The Woolson Spice company, which is
controlled by the Havemeyers, is selling
Rio No. at 8 cents pound. Not to be
outdone, the Arbuckles have made a re-
duction in their prices. Coffee is now
cheaper than it has been since the war,
say the old dealers, and if the fight lasts
there is no telling at what price it will
go for. Another reason for the low
price is to be found in the enormous
quantity of green coffee now here.
