nUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.

New York, May 5.-R. G. Dun & Co..
in their Weekly Review OF Trade will
say:
The failures in April were the small
est in any month since records by
months began, 3S per cent. smaller than
in april OF last year, not third Of the
amount in 1897 and not half the amount
in April OF any previous year. Both
in manufacturing and in trading they
were the smallest ever known in that
month and in tradig the smallest ever
kown in any month, as in manufac-
turing they were if the larger failures
were omitted The ratio OF defaulted
liabilities to solvent payments through
clearing houses was less than 20 cents
per $1,000, against 80 cents in January,
and $l.19 in March, $3.50 in August and
$500 in September, 1896. A great share
of the risk in the business world has
been eliminated.
1t is not inconsistent or strange if
business fails. because it has been
crowded to the utmost for four months
in anticipating future needs on account
of new combinations proposed. In some
cases prices have been advanced so far
as to check new business and in others
NOIhS nave UtGH SuSdStu 50 lar dpedu
that new orders can not now be taken
Yet new business in amount which
would have been astonishing Two years
ago is still coming forward and the
voluntary advance in wages by the six
teen Bessemer firms OF the Central AS
ISOLATION, and by the Prick coke works,
whose shipments in April, 30,452 cars,
were the heaviest ever known, show
confidence in the future. At Buffalo
and in Idaho strikes are causing trou-
bic, but labor questions elsewhere do
not affect general business.
The grain movement has fallen off,
only 2,464, 1S4 bushels having been re-
ceived at the west during the week
against 4,765,5i9 bushels last year, and
of corn only 2,677 All have been export

W 9 HANGED.
A Pair Of Negro Murderers Swing Oh
From the Same Scafold- Their
Crimes Similar.

Washington, May 5.-The double
hanging of VIM. Strather and Charles
winston, at the District jail, passed off
quietly. The two colored men started
for the scaffold just at noon, and seven
minutes later they were swinging from
the gallows.
Several ministers were with them
throughout the morning, and both men
neglected light luncheon sent them
by the warden in order to sing and
pray with their spiritual advisors.
Winston and Strather both sang on
the way from their cell to the scaffold
and continued to sing till the drop
fell.
The crimes for which Strather and
of the law were similar in the respect
that each killed woman because of
jealousy. Strathers victim was Rose
Talbot, who had left her husband to
live with him The deed was commit
ted with a hatchet on October Is, 1897
Winston shot his wife, Emma, while
in bed on December IS, 1897. He at
first claimed that his wife attempted to
kill him and then committed suicide,
but at a second trial he admitted hav-
ing killed the woman. There were two
trials in each case which were conduct
ed under the law permitting the jury
to qualify its verdict by the addition
of the words without capital punish
ment." Justice Bradley, who presided,
instructed the jury that in order to
qualify its verdict there must have
been shown some palliating or mitigat-
ing circumstances. This view of the
lew was upheld by the District Court
of Appeals, but on appeal to the SUI
preme Court of the United States the
decision was reversed and a new trial
ordered in each case. At the second
trial, as at the first, the prisoners were
found guilty and sentenced to be hang
ed to-day. Efforts were made to secure
executive clemency without avail
Strather was about 25 years old his
occupation being that of a newsboy,
while Winston was about "a years of
age. Both men have been exemplary
prisoners and have professed contrition
for their crimes.

Stocks-The stock market was of a

although support appeared from time

Steel and Wire, Continental Tobacco
and Anaconda were especially weak.
The feverishness OF prices accompan-
led by bear pressure induced consider
able liquidation. London was purch-
aser of moderate amounts, but not en-
ough to sustain the international
stocks. While the bank statement can
never be forecasted with any accuracy,
it is known that the banks on out OF
town express movement and sub-treas-
TRY operations, sustained loss in
cash of about 100000. This, together
with the understanding that to-mor-
rows statement would not reflect the
100000 debit on account of the Span
lsh indemnity payment, led traders to
assume that the showing will not be
altogether favorable, because of the
financing of industrials and the sub
scriptions to the Amalgamated Copper
Company. The understanding, how
ever, that the sub-treasury will cash
S10,000,000 indemnity warrant next
week was regarded as likely to make a
large addition to the loanable funds
which will be reflected in subsequent
bank statements. Domestic news was
scant, but the possibility Of British
complications over Transyaal affairs
received some notice. There was some
liquidation CT marginal holdings by
spectators discouraged at the seem
ing lack Of inside support in certain
properties and the confident operations
OF the bears. The market closed weak
at about the lowest.
