THE REVIEW OF TRADE.
The Remarkable Gains in Many
Branches Continue.
DECLINE IN WHEATS PRICE.
A Drop of Five Cents Is Noted for the
Last Week-Market for Cotton and
WOODEN Goods il SIrOng-Iron Prod
uCts Advance in Price.

New York, Feb. Ar. 6. Dun Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says: Failures
in January were smaller than in any
previous month except August, 1898,
and July. 1897. There were only seven
failures for 100000 or more, and the
average of liabilities per failure is
smaller than in January of any other
year, and the small failures are not
only fewer in number but smaller in
average liabilities than in any previous
year.
The volume of business in January
was far beyond all precedent. En-
changes through clearing houses were
A per cent. larger than last year, and
59.7 per cent larger than in 1892, and
while speculation in stocks at New
York materially increases the volume
of payments it was larger outside this
city by 33. 3 per cent than in 1892. The
remarkable expansion in the aggre-
gate of business payments comes in
spite of a material decline in prices
during the past seven years so great
that payments of $50. 900, coo would
cover about as much business as pay
ments of $780, 000 600 in 1892. 1t is not
strange that European exchanges are
disturbed. The most remarkable fna-
ture of the week has been the decline
of five cents in wheat, with only half
a cent IN corn and only a sixteenth in
cotton. The government estimate of
the wheat crop, 1915, 000 600 bushels, had
more influence than any other from
that source for years, because 1t is rec
ognized as the result of great efforts
to get at the truth, and is therefore
considered about the lowest estimate
admissible.
A very strong market for cotton
goods has prevailed. The advance in
goods has been unusual and has been
sustained by heavy buying, especially
of print cloths and kindred products.
The prospect is that the outgo will
place dealers and manufacturers in
stronger position than they have held
for years. A better tone appears in the
woolen goods market also.
The iron industry is advancing prices
of products rather than of materials.
PIC has remained without change this
week. anticipating that six or seven
furnaces will be put into blast as soon
as possible. The demand is strong,
but apparently urgent at the chief
markets. Eastern bars and plates
have advanced with very heavy de-
mand. and cut nails have been hoisted
bv tie association of makers. The
rush of orders for the future does not
cease and the works are generally COW
cred for months ahead with orders.
Failures for the week We're pa in the

tions of paper lace and bright color so
fascinating to the heart of youth and,
ah, me, to the memory of age, perhaps,
and as they lifted the filmy overlays to
read the cunningly hid verses beneath
they did not notice that standing in the
door was feeble old man leaning on
cane and watching them. His hair was
rather long and silver white. His face
was cleanIy shaven, and he had large
nose, a rather childish mouth AID
clear blue eyes. As he moved away the
two girls heard his step ard turned.
"Oh!" exclaimed Clare whispering
''there is old Mr.. Fessenden! He lives
next door to us and is cranky old
bachelor. Let's send him a valentine" >"
The other girl nodded. Then they
watched him a moment through the
window as he paused to look in.
HE comes every year to look at the
Valentines" said the shopwoman.

Clare. "Some about old bachelors"
The girls were not cruel; they were
thoughtless. They picked out high

man in a house that was in wretched or

The British AriStOcracy.

Here is little table, compiled by the
editors OF the London Reform Almanac.
1t shows the cost OF an aristocracy to
Great Britain.
1t shows the number OF offices occu-
pied and the amount OF money drawn
from the nation in thirty-tllrcc years by
the dukes, marquiscs and carls OF the
kingdom and their relatives. There are
25I titled gentry with 4.5,36 relatives, fill
ing S,22S offices at a cost TO the nation
oil $332,33o,2Io
In other words, each noblcman had.
Upon an average, about eighteen rcla-
tivcs in public places, nearly every rela-
tive drew more than one salary, and the
amount SO drawn was, roughly, $lo,ooo.-
no year. And there were the far more
numerous viscounts, barons, baroncts
and knights, with their hordcs OF rela-
tivcs, III addition.
The Marquis OF Waterford is one OF
the ornaments OF this list. True, he had
only sixty-two relatives in the public
service, but they held I26 posts and drew
in thirty-thrcc years $6o4o,ooo OF public
moLey. Forty-hvc OF these are Beres-
iords Ohc marquis is Beresford), and
one a Pack k-Beresford, Lord Charles
Observation-Disclosures Charlc-is on the
ravy list, and Lord William Beresiord,
who recently married Lily Price, the
American Dowagcr Duchess OF Marl-
borough, is on two payrolls.
The Marquis Of Anglcsea is Pagct.
The son-in-law OF William C. Whitney
is scion OF this stock Thirty-four Pa
gets were carried on the national pay
rolls during the period under considera-
ton.
Thirty Loftuses owe their devotion to
the Marquis Of Ely; thirty-two Kerrs to
Tie Marquis of Lothian; thirty-thrce
Alexandcrs to the Earl of Caledon;
thirty-fve Caulfelds to the Earl of
Charlemont; thirty-six Stopfords to the
Earl of Corntown.
Grey was one OF the most picturesque
names on the list Besides the carl there
were thirty Greys in the public Service
and nineteen other relatives, who had
drawn over five millions OF public mon
ncy. The Earl Of Hopetoun had in the
service forty Hopes, Hope-Wallaccs and
opc-Johnstones. His relatives also had
drawn five millions. The Earl of KIM
berley gave places to forty-two Wode-
houses, and his sixty-seven relatives
drew only less money than those OF the
Marquis of Waterford. Forty-three
Onslows owed their places to the earl of
that name. The almost unknown Earl
of Ranfurly had thirty-nine Knoxes on
the list. Except the Beresfords, those
families into which American women
have intermarried have been very mode
rate in their demands on the public
pu1se. The former Duke of Marlbor-
ough had only thirty-one relatives in
the service-comparatively few for a
duke-the Earl of Essex, who married
Adele Grant, but eighteen.
