Dun a Co.'S Report.

New York, November 17.-R. G.. Dun
e. Cos weekly Review OF Trade will
say tomorrow:
The signs Of shrinkage in the new
demand for iron and steel products
become more clear, and. while prices
OF pig are maintained without change,
and billets are quoted lower only be-
cause premiums for earlier deliveries
are no longer paid. plates are quoted
lower at the east. with some small
mills selling at 2.5 cents at Pittsburg
and sheets are sold by some works
there at 80 and 40 less than the regu-
lar price. The strength OF bars at the
west Is largely due to the great de-
mandf for cars, OF which IL Is said that
100000 per day are ordered. but at
the east prices are a shade lower. A
new demand does not make up for the
rapid completion Of old orders in some
lines, so that competition OF works
weakens prices. In minor metals the
collapse of London speculation de-
pressed tin to 26 cents on Wednesday
here, but subsequently an advance OF
ga per ton in the foreign market
brought the New York price up to 2S.
A sale of copper by the Calumet and
Hecla, said to be of 20,00O,O 900 pounds.
lowered the price to 17c. Spelter Is
e at 4.65, with lead and tin plates
unchanged.
Shipments of boots and shoes fell off,
and yet are larger than in any previ-
Gus year-for the first two weeks of
November 1S3, PSI cases, against 1863, 1853
in 1897. and LAG, 972 in 1894, and less I'm
all other years. Advances asked es-
pecially since the recent rise in leath-
er, nave prevented much buying,
though many works still have business
ahead for some time.
Textile manufacturers are doing
well, although in woolens the specula-
ton in material threatens to cause
some embarrassment.
Worsted goods are again In good
demand and have been advanced In
price with some fannels. Carpets also
nave been active, with prices advanced
5 per cent. for the season. Cotton
goods continue to dvanc with a
strong demand and with a belief in q
short crop, 30 that some have been
for the time entirely withdrawn from
the market by the mills. while bleach
ed were advanced to the highest quo
tation for four years.
Conflicting estimates still max the
cotton market excited, but after fall
ing &c the price has recovered 1-16c.
The increased sales by planters n
shipments from plantations appear to
have had rather more influence than
short crop estimates, although from
high authorities.
Wheat declined a fraction, but fully
! recovered. although Atlantic exports
were only 2,976. ISL bushels. our in
cluded. against $685. 68 bushels for
the same week last year, and Pacific
exports 720, 1893 bushels, against 1,9SS,-
093 bushels last year. The curse OF the
market IL the more noteworthy be-
cause western receipts are much re-
duced.
Corn declined a fraction, with heav-
Ter exports than last year. and smaller
receipts.
Failures for the week were 219 In the
United States. against 223 last year.

New York Commercial Advertiser.)
The recent death of an old Scotch

one of the Atlantic liners, has recall
ed a good story halt is told of him.. On
one of his rougher voyages he had un-
der his case a very reverend gentle
man and a company Of youths who
We're not ait all reverend. During the
worst of the bad weather the former
showed signs of what is politely call
ed extreme nervousness. The others
PLAYED. games of chance with horrid
disregard of the threatened watery
rave. The old Scdtchman happening
to pass through h cabin when the
storm was at it's height, b clergyman
called upon him for an assurance that
the ship was still safe. "Presairve us,
Mon" he said disgustedly, but I do
believe you're MAR afeard to go
strecht to heaven than these young
cubs be to go strecht to hell"

TWO STORIES OF LAWYERS.
(PhiladeIphia. Cal1.)

The logic of wit is the most destruc-
tive logic THAT is employed against er-
ron. This was aptly illustrated ait a
public reception given a few nights
ago, at which a learned lawyer, who is
slightly lame in hs right foot, was
present. The advocate overheard a
lady say to her companion, THAT is
Mr.. c., 1.-THE lame lawyer"
Turning around he replied, mo,
madame, l am a lame mar, but not a
lame lawyer"
An amusing incident occurred in one
OF the common please courts the other
day. The lawyer for the defense was
making a very lengthy cross-examina-
tion Of an old lady, when he was inter-
rupted by the judge with the remark
II think you have exhausted this wit
ness"
Yes, judge" she exclaimed, Il do
feel very much exhausted"

Naval Stores Business.

Would it not be we'll for the nava
store factors Of Wilmington to Look
TO the new and very extensive opera
tons now going on among the tur-
pentine manufacturers in southwest
Georgia and throughout Florida?
At least two-thirds OF the total put
put OF the south is now confined to the
regions mentioned, and additional
farms are being opened up daily. This
is especially the case il Florida where
all available lands are being brought
up for the business in question.
The Savannah merchants having un-
limited means, and with years Of ex-
perience. have thus far been able 10
control almost the entire product OK
these stills; but Florida capital is Tow
looking to secure a large part OF the
business which should more properly
be retained in this state. A company
has already been formed in Jackson
vile, having secured the I'll Of for
ty stills. But as that port, from lac6
Of sufficient water, is confined entire
~ to coastwise shipments, operators
are now looking TO the deep Atlantic
eapor Of Fernandina as the most
available point to establish one or
more Agencies and from whence ship
mentS can be made at all seasons TO
any part Of the world.
The proximity OF Fernandina TO the
larger number Of stills makes the
"short-haul" quite an object for con-
sideration by the distillers: besides
Fernandina offers ample facilities for
the handling and storage of naval
stores, with depth Of water sufficient
to accommodate foreign ships drawing
% to % feet Of water. Fernandina, too.
has good banking facilities and her
business men are alive to the neces-
sity Of securing a large share of this
one of the most important of Florida's
great industries.

Atheists and ''The RecessionaI.'


We were greatly surprised, a little
indignant, and still more amused, to
read in the daily press that Kipling's
"ReceSsiOnal ODE is not to be read in
the day schools of Chicago because
among the cfty's taxpayers are athe-
lists, who might object to the poem
because lit is religious. Thus does the
late president of Brown university n
present superintendent of Chicago's
schools guard the feelings of the mi
nority, who, if he did not call atten-
tion to the fact, would probably never
imagine that they had any rights in
the matter n certainly would not
hin that those rights were being vio-
lated. Is it possible that literature is
to be excluded from our schools be-
cause it happens incidentally to as
sumo, or to assert, the existence of
God? Our readers would have to be
reconstructed and our supplementary
reading largely abandoned. Our lit
tie children cannot even sing "Ameri-

in which all selections having q. reli-

THANKsGIvING's FOOT BALL.
The Battle Between h o. "A. n. and
Horner School Teams a Sure Thing.

The foo ball game between Horner's
school and the 0. A. N. team on
Thanksgiving day in this city is as in
minated yesterday, a sure thing. The
game will be played under the most
suspicious circumstances, being on a
holiday, lear to every one, and also
in the midst Of the festivities of the
big Masonic Fair, which in itself. will
draw crowds from put of town
The management of the team has
been put to considerable trouble in
arranging the game n now since ev-
erything is settled in connection with
pulling it off, they expect to give the
people of Wilmington an opportunity
of witnessing one Of the cleanest n
best conducted games Of foot ball ever
played in the state.
The association Of foot ball games
with Thanksgiving all over the III
try, a grown so strong nothing else
is scarcely thought Of in the way Of
sport. Wilmingtonians will this year
have the opportunity of seeing a game
between teams that will contest the
result with every effort, in the spirit
of true sportsmanship.
The game is just a week off from
next Thursday n the 0. A. N. eleven
is making every effort to get into
thorough condition and be ready to
put up a winning game against the
cadets. Every man on the team is
wearing a look of determination, n
they expect to win if their fastest n
most skillful playing will do it.
No assignments have yet been made
to positions. The boys are turning out
in goodly numbers every night to prac-
tice and the regular team will be picked
from the mon WThn are MI wing The hest
ball. This, however, will not be done
for several days hence, and ali who are
candidates for positions should attend
and put up the best practices posi-
BILE. The signals have been distributed
among the men and all are thoroughly
conversant with them. The greatest
aim Of Captain Mcmillan now is to get
down ito perfect team work and put up
strong interferences.
Horner has a first class team and
they have the advantage of several
games played this season, giving them
more practical experience than the
Wilmington team, but this will be
somewhat offset by the O. A. N. and
w. H. S. teams playing several games
with each other before Thanksgiving.
One thing ear safely be said, the O..
A. N. eleven Will give Horner's the
hardest game of the season.
Everybody who is a foot ball enthu-
siash in any degree, from a literal crank
down to one who barely knows the
game, is talking foot ball now ard
there are a others who have never
witnessed the game who will avail
themselves of the opportunity on
Thanksgiving. A few knowing ones
are even surmising on the score, but
nothing definite can yet be judged as
both teams will materially improve be-
fore they meet on the gridiron.

grounds are now we'll lighted and there
