NEW YORK, Oct. S.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
The last quarter of 1898 begins with
sensational troubles in wool, the
Tradesmen's National bank having fall
ed, with large reported loans to the
wool warehouse, while the Wool EX-
change has stopped sales, and The Wool
Record has stopped publication, and the
same week witnessed the failure of the
Sawyer mills and the Plymouth mills.

at the three CHIEF markets against IA
1897 900 last year. 7,663.8OO in 1896 and
1893, GOO in 1892, indicate very little de-
mand at this time for manufacture.
The iron industry still gains rapidly.
Sales run a little below fixed figures
5000 being quoted at Pittsburg and
1925 for gray forge, while southern and
local iron are steady at Chicago. and
anthacite is not stronger at Phila-

iron at Chicago. 5000 tons for Boston

Indian Uprising Regarded as
Practically Over.
DISPATCHES FROM GENERAL BACON.
Troops Back at walker - savhges
Badly WhipDed-Rumors Greatly
Exaggerated situntion-OnIy
Few Redmen In Outbreak.

WASHINGTON, Oct s.-Reports re-
ceived by the officials of the war and
the interior departments from the In
dian outbreak are of a reassuring char
acter, and the officials now feel that
the Hprising may be regarded as over.
General Bacon, who has charge of at
fairs in the department of which he is
in command, will remain at Walker for
the present, and this, It is hoped, will
have a quieting effect on the citizens of
the surrounding country, who have felt
that they were in danger from the red
skins. Steps will be taken to have an
investigation made with a view to fix
ing the responsibility among the In
dians for their stand against the gov
ernment. General Corbin last night
said there was no basis for the report
that two troops of cavalry on their way
to Huntsville, Ala, from North Dako-
Ia had been ordered to Walker, Cen
eral Bacon's telegram showing he was
not in need of re-enforcements. The
following is General Bacon's fastest dis
patch:

tachment in good condition, the killed

He Was Twice the Mayor of New

NEW YORK, oct. S.--After an illness

lie began to fail early in the afternoon,
and a physician was hurriedly sum-
moned. He continued to fail, and the
end came early in the evening.
Mr.. Hall occupied a unique position
in the history Of the city. He was twice
mayor of the metropolis and for many
years was district attorney. He was
probably one of the best known men in
the country and had an extraordinary
career.
He was born in Albany July 20, 1926.
He studied law there, and for a time he
was in the Office of John Slidell in New
Orleans. but subsequently came to New
York and was associated with the late
Nathaniel Blunt as assistant district
attorney Upon his death Mr.. Hall be-
came interested in politics and Joined
the Whig party.
He received the nomination for dis
trict attorney, was elected and held the
once lof ten years. FROM tudl poal ne
was elected TO the mayoralty. He
changed his politics frequently. Be
ginning as a Whig, he became Know
Nothing a Republican and finally n
Democrat. He was a man of great ver-
satility and tried his talents variously
in the fields of Journalism, law, poll
tics and the stage.
His career as an actor was short, and
he returned to politics and law. In re-
cent years he confined himself almost
entirely to literature and journalism.
Mr.. Hall was the sole survivor Of the
mayors who served between the time
OF Fernando Wood and that of Smith
Ely, Jr. To the minds OF most New
Workers whose political recollections
extend back a generation his name is
inseverably connected with the rise and
fall Of the Tweed ring.
His personal honesty, his friends said
| was irreproachable. They declared that
he left no office richer than when he en-
tered it.
