DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.

New York, April pr. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade will say
tomorrow:
The war is no longer to be avoided
and business is somewhat contracted
by bankers apprehensions There is
no excuse except want OF nerve for de-
cline in railway stocks when earnings
have been 14.3 per cent. larger than
last year for the first half of April,
and As per cent. larger than 1892, with
railway tonnage on east-bound from
Chicago about 10 per cent. larger than
in 1892. Neither are clearing house
transactions gloomy. The weeks pay
ments were 1876 per cent. larger than
last year and 6.3 per cent. larger than
in 1892.
With 10000 tons Bessemer iron sold
at Pittsburg for 5000 and with the
dealings in grey forge unchanged and
sales Of 10000 tons to car wheel max
ers alone at Chicago and 10000 tons at
Eastern works of Pennsylvania, with
some at the South for pipe manufac-
turers, the enormous production does
not diminish, and the demand for fin
lshed products includes contracts for
5000 tons in the building of two new
merchant ships, with many other con-
tracts in sight to replace vessels
bought by the government; for two
new piers at Key West, 5000 tons;
for the Chicago postoffice, 5000 tons;
for the Harrisburg capitol, $500 tons;
for car building, including one of 5000
tons at Pittsburg; one for a govern
ment building at Portland Ore. 1000
tons; for track elevation at Chicago,

Maryland Steel Company, 10000 to be
shipped to Siberia and 10000 to the
Orient. and for 1000 tons to Pittsburg
concern for Quito. with many struc-
tural and implement contracts of minor
Importance, no decrease in prices APP
Per and the production cont lues prac-
tlcally unchanged at the highest point
ever known, although in eastern mar
kets the output is considered somewhat
IN excess Of supply. Copper is stronger
with heavy demand for consumption.
Failures for the week have been
204 in the United States against 218
last year, and 20 in Canada against y
last year.

HETTY AND NETTIE
And the Man From San Berdoon Had
Jolly Time at the Russ House

Nettie Russell, young woman who lives
at the Russ house, corner of First and Los
Angeles streets, yesterday secured a COM
plant of petty larceny against her running
mate, Hetty Johnson. Nettie and Hetty
made the conquest on May 25th of a man
from San Bernardino, who had come to Los
Angeles for good time. The man from
San Berdoon took them out for lark, and
the family entrances of the beer joints
in the neighborhood were literally patron
lied.
Hetty stands her beer like a major, but
Nettie hasn't got to that stage yet. The
consequence was that when the trio went
back to the Russ house Nettie felt some
what sick. Hetty placed her on the bed,
took Off her belt and chatelaine. which con-
tained her purse, and acted like good Sam
aritan. But when Nettie had recuperated
the belt and purse were gone, and the San
Berdoon man found them later in his own
room, but the money in the purse, Sc, had
disappeared. He had no idea when the ar
ticles had been placed in his apartment, but
he had distinct recollection of having seen
Hetty taking them off Nettie. The woman
was taxed with the theft and requested 20
return the money number of times, but.
as she steadily refused to do it. Nettie and
the San Berdoon man, who are solid, con-
cluded yesterday that 1t was time to teach
Hetty lesson in honesty.
