Important Decision of a st. Louis
Judge on a Commercial Matter.
Judge Charles G. Blaid, presiding over
the Court of Appeals in st. Louis, NO.,
has given a general opinion which is of
greater interest to the commercial world
than any other ruling of the court which
has been made for number of years.

cause the Kelly Goodfellow Company of

to Texas house at the price at WHICH
the salesman sold them. The company

proposition. The trial began in the Cir

testimony of the plaintiffs the court in
structed for a nonsuit. The plaintiffs APP

PROSPECTS ARE GOOD
OPENING OF THE YEARS BUSl
NESS ENCOURAGING.
All the Better that There Is No Wild
Excitement in speculative Markets
Decreased Number of Failures
Bering Sea Claims to BE Paid.
Dun's Encouraging Report.

X. G.. Dun q Co.'s weekly review OF
trade says: 1.-The year has opened with a
very satisfactory prospect. 1t is all the
better that there is no wild excitement in
the speculative markets, and, while stocks
advance a little grain yields little. The
payments through principal clearing
houses, notwithstanding a decrease at
New York owing to less activity in stocks,
are 90 per cent larger than in 1892 and
10.1 per cent larger outside New York.
Earnings of all railroads in the United
States reporting for December-$43,3 1864, :
279Nindicate substantially the same rate
OF increase, exceeding last years by 1O.5
per cent and the earnings of 1892 for the
same roads by 1.3 per cent. Since 1892
was on the whole the most prosperous
year thus far, comparisons indicate, not
withstanding the lowest prices ever
known, that the volume of business is
larger, and, in spite of some cutting Of
rates, the earnings of railroads are larger
than in the best year of past history. The
wheat market has been curiously languid,
yielding quarter of cent. Western
receipts were 5,577,250 bushels for the
two weeks, against 3,09S, 6SS bushels last
year. Corn exports continue large, al
though equal to last years. Spot cotton
is a sixteenth lower, mainly because Of
the stoppageo Of. some mills by difficulty
about wages. But nithing is definitely
known about the quantity of cotton yet
coming forward and one report of credit
able character puts the years yield at TO-
57O,25O bales, though results thus far do
not quite justify so large an estimate. The
iron furnaces in blast Jan. / report an
output Of 226,60S tons weekly, against
226024 tons weekly Dec. 1. The wooden
manufacturers have been buying. wool
largely, and for reasons not PUBLICLY ex-
planned it is evident that large orders have
been taken by the leading mills, although
sales have declined about 40 per cent COM
pared with the previous week. Failures
for the last week have been 349 in the
United States, against 400 last year, and
As in Canada. against Il last year"

How to find work for the unemployed
In large cities on a self-sustaining basis
is a question which Typographical Union
No. of New York is trying to solve.
TIVE officers of the union have come to the
conclusion that the cultivation of unused
land Is the most reasonable form Of relief
and it has unanimously decided to make

of Buffalo, president Of the Buffalo and
Susquehanna Railroad, and owner Of 100
acres of land in northwestern Pennsylva-
nia, has offered to Big Six tract OF

be conveyed after the colony was fairly
established. The union is expected to
