DUN'S REVIEW

New York, July AR. G. Dun & CO..
weekly review of trade will say tomorrow:
Because every prospect pleases, it is the
right time to watch most closely for signs
of trouble. But it is not easy to find them
when the volume of business Is 63.7 per
cent. larger than last year and i5.5 larger
than in 1892, the best of all years except the
last, or when failures continue the small
est ever known or when exports of staples
begin to improve materially, or when rail-
road business is by far the best ever known,
or when New York bankers appear in inter-
national operations listening to a Russian
inquiry, and undertaking a Mexican loan.
Even the industrial disputes incident 10
the season cause less trouble than usual,
the largest of them having been settled
Thursday by the tin plate company. lie
Bank of England finds it difficult to borrow
more from this side and frankly raises its
rate, while this country begins to dispatch
fresh crops, for which Europe will run
into debt.
Iron production in the first week of July
was 263,263 tons, for the past two weeks
less, because a strike of July 1 closed seven
Shenango furnaces producing 1900 tons
daily though it is expected to end today
and several other furnaces have begun pro-
ducing this month. The increase of 500
tons weekly in June with a decrease of
$1,000 tons in unsold stocks not OF the great
steel companies, implies a production of
about 1,12S,69O tons in June, and in the half
year. 6,S44,2l tons.
Consumption would be 1,209090 tons but
for the fact that steel makers have stocked
heavily against orders running through
most of the year drawing outside supplies,
so that consumption may prove only $780,
600 tons or even less. Prices are climbing,
but only for the triflihg surplus not covered
by contracts, so that quotations represent
but an insignificant part of the actual bust
ness. 1t is of more Importance that new
orders though very many though very
many seem no longer equal to the weekly
output except in a few branches, while the
furnaces and other works practically

ed again. Copper is a shade weaker at 1SK
cents for lake, the government reporting
the output In 1898 as 52ss75 ,S91 pounds. Tin
is strong, with London speculation at 2s25
cents, and lead is advanced by the smelling
company at ASS. The largest shipments of
boots and shoes in any year for the season,
1s3,sOO cases in two weeks, greater by ia
per cent. than last year; 81 per cent. great
er than in 1897, and 29.4 per cent. greater
than in 1892 result from very extensive
pressure to anticipate orders for August
and September, distribution far exceeding
expectations.
Larger distribution is expected In wool
and speculation In a healthy condition for
buyers.
Corn exports are surprising; 5,S15, ga BUSH
els in two weeks. against 2,557O9S last year,
but not less surprising than western de-
ceipts, 10.512,341 bushels, against 1851 9n last
year. Nevertheless the price advanced Is

169 in the United States, against 215 last

FINANCIAL REVIEW

New York, July 14.-Bradstreees finan-

A moderate volume of transactions at

quotations were the leading features of the
speculative situation during the present
week. What Is termed midsummer dull
ness has its customary effect in restrict
ing the market and the comparative firm
ness of call loans tended to check both
manipulation on any large scale or the
growth of public interests. While Ameri-

the unsettled speculative position there,

advance of interest rates. has not been
without a certain effect on financial senti-

The remarkable fall in the price of Brit
ish consols which on Tuesday sold at 1867,
a drop of SIS points from the highest quo
tation of the year, could not fail to attract
notice, though it seemed due to local
causes and failed to exercise a positively
disturbing effect on general speculation.

FLAHERTY VS.. SWEENEY.
A New Haven Club Wants the Two
Men to Meet Again.

Joe Flaherty may again fight Patsy
Sweeny, who beat him in II rounds at
Manchester, N. H, July 4. He received
letter yesterday from New Haven,
informing him that new boxing club
Is being organized and wants him and
Sweeney for the opening attraction.
Flaherty replied that he will take on
Sweeney for 20 rounds at 1888 or 1876
pounds at p. m. the day of the match
The prospects for the match are con-
sidered good by Flaherty. Sweeney
promised him return match after
beating him in Manchester. Flaherty
put up a fight that deserved one. He
was severely handicapped by condi-
ton. On the evening previous he sec
onded Dtnsdale at Lowell, when the lat
ter waited until after midnight for
Maurice Rosenberg to show up. Fla
herty didn't get to bed until after /
o'clock. He had to go to Manchester
In the morning, as the fight was origin
ally billed for the afternoon, but a per
NIT could not be secured, and it took
place in the evening. FIaherty feared
he would go above the weight limit,
and did not eat during the entire day.
Under those adverse conditions he
lasted IL rounds making an even fight
until the very last jolt.

He VIII Make Record With Small
Pins This Season.
Billie Orr is back among the pins
again. He resumed last evening after
a weeks absence his position in the
Casino alleys, and will captain the
team. Orr decided last week to enter
some other business, but could not re-
sist the fascination of seeing the pins
fall, and concluded to go back. Orr
viii undoubtedly be one of the cracka-
jacks at small pins before the season
is half over. He can roll now with the
best of them and he is a comparative
novice, having only few months ex-
perience. If he continues to improve
he will sustain the record of the Casino
alleys in turning out champions. P. H.
Hennessey and P H. Mccain, when
employed at the Casino alleys, were
the top notchers of the city. The Ca
sinos will roll the third of the series
with the Infants at Whites alleys
Thursday evening.
The suggestion of P. H. Mccain,
manager of the Sherwood alleys, for
league composed of candlepin teams
from the uptown alleys, meets with
general approval, and will probably be
adopted shortly. The season is hardly
on yet, and the howlers are waiting un-

Tech Athletes VIII Run Cross Countr
This Afternoon.

Tech Athletes viii Run Cross Country
This Afternoon.
The third and final run of the series
of cross-country runs of Tech students
will take place this afternoon. The run
will be a real cross country, the course
being entirely through fields. 1t is the
first Of the kind ever decided on at the
school, and takes the place of the Tat
muck course, which has hitherto been
selected. The start will be from Bliss
field, the course being to Newton
square and return
The run will decide the ownership of
the banner offered to the class whose
athletes score the most points
and also the six individuals
who score the highest points in the
three runs, each Of whom will receive
a medal. The seniors have not entered
any men in the previous runs. The ju-
niors were beaten by the sophomores,
95 to Sc, in the first run, but took re-
venge in the second, winning by a score
of 113 to 50. The juniors thus hold a
lead of 1879 to 1T in the two runs. The
have only Al points and can't
win. J. NJ. Rogers will undoubtedly
win first, although the footing may be
to the advantage for other men. He
has won eight successive cross country
runs.

High School Substitutes Worked Fast
Yesterday.
Worcester high school foot ball squad
went through a course of sprouts yes
terday afternoon that took some of the
superfluous weight off them. All of the
regulars were not out, but few subs
were worked in and a second eleven was
formed, The ball was given to the reg
uars, who played on the aggressive all
the time They showed more life than
for several days, and although the sec
ond was familiar with the signals and
knew just where the play would be dl-
rected they couldn't hold the regulars
for down. The regulars got together
better interference than they have
been doing, although at times they were
a trif1e off in keeping the interference
together. The backs seemed to realize
better than in any previous practice
the necessity of following the interior
ence. Considering that McAulifr and
Donnelly, end and tackle, were not III
practice, the interference play was
much better than could be expected.

GRAY is AMUSING.
His Talk of Wanting Match With
Anderson or FIaherty Looks Like a
Jest,


John Anderson was justly indignant,
and every other sporting man in Wor-
cester amused, at a statement which
appeared in a Worcester newspaper
yesterday from somebody named c..
Eddie Gray, Gray said he wanted to
fight Anderson or Joe Flaherty, and
such statement caused Worcester
sporting men to wonder If Gray comes
from Boston as is said or got away
from the keepers. Anybody who knows
what he Is talking about in the boxing
line doesn't talk Of putting a 1875 pound
man Like Joe Flaherty and a 180-pound
man like Anderson against the same
man. If Gray was good enough to be
sparring partner of Tommy Ryan,
which is doubtful, and weighs 1852
pounds, somebody ought to give him a
medal for Offering to fight Joe Flaher-
ty, who is lightweight. If Gray is
good enough to be a sparring partner
of Tommy Ryan, he doesn't have to
shoot off through a newspaper. He can
do business through a club. A. C. Ed
die shouldn't try to take on a little fell
low like Flaherty and doesn't have to
take on a 190-pound man. If G. Eddie
produces the money he can get plenty
of matches at 152 or Whereabouts.

VARSITY SCORED AGAINST.
First Time Harvard Has Met That Fate
This Season.

Cambridge, Oct. 23.-In the Harvard
foot ball practice today, the varsity
eleven was scored against for the first
time this season. On the old guards
back formation, the second eleven
gained steadily through the line of the
first. which was weakened by the abb
sence oe Burden, Boal and Burnett.
Onlv at times were the forwards Of
the first eleven able to break through
the formation Of the play The unex-
pected Improvement in the work Of the
second eleven is due to the coaching of
w. H. Lewis, who has developed a
large amount of team play.
