New York, Nov 11.-R. &. Dun d
| Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade SAYS:
The most noteworthy feature of the
| time is the rise in prices. Wool has
| risen relatively more, about 10 per
cent, in two weeks and the average OF
100 quotations is higher than It has
been at any other time since May 1S91.
Pig iron has risen further. So being
quoted for anthracite No. /. the high
est price since January. 1883. But
hides are at the highest point since
January. 1878, having risen all the
wear with very little reaction. Prices
of products have not corrcspOndingIy
advanced. Leather and boots and
shoes we're higher in November, 1895,
than they are now, cotton goods We're
higher in January. 1896. wcolen goods
in July. 1894 and even the products oi
iron. though greatly advarced. are not
rs high as they were in January, 1890.
Such wide discrepancies in advance
cause much embarrassment but are the
natural characteristics Of rise which
is mainly due not to concerted action
in any trade but to the pressure of a
consuming demand, the greatest ever
known. which for the time exceeds
supplies, though very unequaIly Its
results begin to justify the conserya-
tive feeling which finds expression in
many branches of business.
The iron industry. which has led all
others in the advance, now leads the
way toward 4 readiustment OF values.
While contracts for pig cover the en-
tire product of the most important
districts for six to nine months in adj
vance, many of the consuming works
in some lines approach the end of their
orders and have new competition to
meet. so that sheets have fallen 81 per
ton at Pittshur" and 50 from the high
est point in September, and plates are

Boot and shoe mal.ers are generally
getting about the 10 cents per pair ad-
vance they have held necessary and
have as large contracts in most lines a
they now wish to close. in view of the
uncertainty about materials. The rise
in cotton as vet helps manufacturers
whose contracts cover production well
ahead bat the buying has been mainly
by traders and based largely on eNpec-
tation of a very low estimate of yield
by the department.

probably fatally burned here Thurs
day through an attempted joke. Two
tclIow worinmcn bound him with Il
talred rope and after lighting it left
the room, thinking II would burn

in two and lie ran into an adjoining

sortie of Friday, almost to the banfs
of the Tugela river, encouraging its
commander in the hope of joining
hands with him.
London. Nov. 1l.-Complete silence
has again fallen upon affairs in South
Africa. The British public must per
force hc content with the brief stereo-
typed report which the censor allow ;
to filter through from Cape Town.
That this condition of things is no
longer due to pressure of work or de-
fective cable has been amply proved
The Eastern Telegraph Co. recltons
that the real delay in transmission is
about two days. II is evident there
fore that the censorship is responsible
for the other two days of delay which
seems TO befall all the dispatches
Moreover the Telegraph announces
that its appropriated" dispatch from
Iadvsmith. dated Monday, was not
delivered in Fleet street until Thurs
day morning. IT is believed that the
war office received further dispatches
last evening, but nothing has been
published.
The statement from Ladysmith
that the British guns do not reply to
the Boer artillery because the concrete
beds for the guns have not yet haru-
ened is interpreted in some quarters
TO mean simply that the British ar
husbaniring their ammunition, as the
Boer Ire is only trick to get the
british to waste shells.

Fast mail trains are a growing insti-
tuition of the country and have proved
their great value and immense possibili-
ties. a new day begins at midnight
AT this hour, or soon after, the fast
mails pull out, cleaning up completely
the correspondence of the day before
and moving abreast of the day just
opening. AS they speed on they give
along their routes special facilities be-
fore the sun rises. They are the early
birds of business. They practically
save day and often two days. The
simple reason for their success is that
they make the earliest start, beating
the lark by hours, and getting ahead
of breakfast time by half the width of
a state. Nothing is further from the
truth than the assertion that fast mail
trains serve only special interests They
are of universal advantage, to small
towns as well as large, to country as
well as city, and they have become in
dispensable.

Growth of Fortunes.

Every day we hear people saying that
the vast combinations of wealth are
freezing out the individual, and that a
man has not the chance for money
making that he once had, says the Phil
adelphia Saturday Evening Post. Let
us look back little! At the beginning
of the century the largest fortune in
the United States was considerably un-
der half a million dollars. Twenty
years ago a fortune of $4,000, 600
secmed to be almost touching the limit;
and yet here we are talking about $780,
0O00O0 in the name of one man, and
there does not seem to be so much alarm
about it as over the lesser sum in the
days gone by. Without parading a lot
of figures and estimates, it may fairly
be said that more new men have be-
come millionaires since 1890 than in
any other ten years of the nations his
tory. So it will probably go on. For
tunes will grow larger, and there will
be more wealth and more opportunities.
