Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review.
r. G. Dunn 4 Co.'s Weekly Review of
Trade says: The volume of business re.
11ected in exchanges at the principal clear
ing houses is 2O.+ per cent. larger than
last year and 6.S per cent. larger than in
the year 1892, heretofore the year of largest
business aud highest prosperity ever
Known. Part of this increase was due to
speculation at New York, but there re-
mains an increase over the best previous
year, an'lthoughin some branches business
is not satisfactory in character, in nearly
all it is in volume larger than ever before.
Wheat goes down 8 cents for the week, as
If there were no foreign demand coming,

large, tending TO encourage a conspiracy
of trade against them. which thus far has

In any previous year. Reduction in man
ufacture by the print cloth works expected
to reach 1000 900 spimdles shortly does not
disturb the market for staple and bleached
goods, which is unchanged.

Permission to Establish American
Weather station There IL Refused.
Early in the summer steps were taken
by the administration to establish a chain
of weather bureau stations in the West
lndian islands and Central America, SO
that the approach Of hurricanes originat-
ing in those waters might be announced
to shipping IN the Southern coasts. This
was the weakest point in the weather bu-
reau service, as sufficient warning Of the
approach of these tropical storms could
not be given, owing to lack Of informa-
ton. The various Governments within
whose territory it was proposed to es-
tablish stations readily CAV consent, with
the single exception of Hayti. While the
specific reason for her refusal is not given
in the correspondence between Minister
Powell and the Haytian foreign Office, it
is undoubtedly due to Il fear on the part
Of Haytians that the establishment of the
station ut Mole st. Nicholas might be the
beginning of territorial acquisition there
by the United States.

the fact is we'll known to the petitioners,
the utter disregard of army regulations

them in the course pursued. The follow
