in Previous Weeks-Demand for Manu-
featuring Products Does Not Seem To
Be on the Increase-Less Activity in
Boot and Shoe Trade.
New York, May 7.-zR. G. Dunn &
Co. S weekly review Of trade tomorrow
will say:
Nearly all will be astonished to learn
that actual sales in April by leading
houses in each line of business in the
principal cities east of the Rocky noun
tains averaged monthly about ten per cent
less than in April, 1892, the year Of
largest business hereto, and were 81 per
cent more than in the same month last
year.
Crop prospects are little better for
cotton because of the passing of floods and
the increase of acreage elsewhere, and for
spring wheat because the customary ac-
counts of injury to winter wheat begin to
appear and stimulate larger sowing of
spring wheat as usual. Western receipts
continue larger than last year, 2,S4s, ,6o6
bushels against 2,20s, ,97a and Atlantic
exports also increase, amounting to l ,49s, :,
167 bushels, flour included, against ,040, :
167 last year. The week exports of corn,
2,7O5, ,403 bushels, are smaller than in
other recent weeks. Liverpo oil specula-
t1ons lifted cotton to 7.75 cents, but it has
lost sixteenth and the consumption in
manufacture does not appear to be in
creasing. The demand for cotton goods
mas not met the expectations, and neither
the prolonged curtailment of production
by many mills, the large distribution Of
goods since November, nor the great
auction sales has yet sufficed to reduce the
surplus of goods. Print cloths are again
lower at o. cents, the lowest point ever
reached in previous years, and though
some kinds of goods have found sufficient
demand to advance prices little, the ex-
pectatiOn of better prices and larger con-
sumption in the future still seems to push
the mills to exceed present wants. The
same is true of woolen manufacture in
many branches, for orders and sales thus
far do not call for as large production as
appears, though it is yet much below the
maximum, but the increasing demand
has been encouraging. Sales of wool at
prices are firm, but no longer rising, have
fell much below recent records. At the
three chief markets there were 8,O25, 200
pounds, of which 8, IA, 600 were foreign
and in five weeks the sales have been 49,
737 $50 pounds against %, ,327 ,100g in the
same weeks of 1892, when the mills were
well employed. There is less activity in
boots and Shoes
Failures of the present week have been
221 in the United States against 238 last
year, and So in Canada against 24O last
year.

The scene half an hour before darkness
was most impressive. The Turks had de-

out of town. The constant flashes of the
field pieces illuminated the faces of the
gunners who were eagerly watching the
effect of each discharge through the gath
ering darkness while on the opposite side
was long, thin line Of spluttering in
fantry fusilade. As night fell, the firing
gradually ceased and by seven o'clock all
was quiet. The Turks threw themselves
on the ground and slept. Only thirty
Turks were killed and two hundred
wounded during the fighting.
