LABOR TROUBLES HINDER.
Important Branches of Business Affected
Probable Effect of the
Prick Suit,

New YORK, Feb. 17.-R. G.. Dun &
Co. S weekly review of trade issued to-
day said in part:
Business continues larger than ever at
this season in amount of payments, and
ON the whole as large as ever in retail
deliveries, though new transactions do
not yet give assurance that it will hold
at the same rate. Conditions affecting
new orders and contracts have changed
Ill some respects most favorably, while
other changes tend to restrict operations
for a time, but conservative Judgment
of the conflicting tendencies appear to
warrant strong hope.
Important branches of business are
hindered by labor troubles, of which the
building trade strike at Chicago affects
the greatest number of contracts for in
dustrial products and the labor and
wages of the greatest number of men.
The rise i'll wheat also brings out
larger western receipts in two weeks,
6,444, 292 bushels, against 6, 1886, ,li6 bush
els last year, but Atlantic expor5s, -four
included, in the same weeks have been
only 3,645, ,40S bushels, against 6, 1872, ,407
bushels last year. The price closed y
cent higher for the week. Corn exports
of 6,241 900 bushels, against 4,807, ,215
for the same week laast year, seem to
Justify the rise of l cent, as western
receipts fall little below last years, in
two weeks, ll,035,973 bushels, against
2l,058,979 bushels last year.
The suit of Mr.. Frick against the Car
negie company to obtain an accounting
and settlement discloses enormous profits
made when prices of steel products
doubled last year, but when peace was
kept by the gigantic iron and steel COM
binations. That results of great i'm.
portance may spring from contest af.
fecting the control of so many iron.
works is evident
The new sheet company has united
ownership of 160 mills, it is said, but
four widely known concerns controlling
10 mills refused to join. Prices of pig
have not changed, though considerable
sales, including some for export, are re-
ported, but the excess of supply over de.
mand, which appeared in January, is in
creased by the starting of new furnace
with capacity of 600 tons daily.
Wool sales at three eastern markets
have been only 10, ,194, ,456 pounds in two
weeks, against IL, 1866, 300 last year. The
interior still believes in a further adj.
vance, but buying of wool ON sleeps
backs has stopped, and the manufacture
has made it clear that the mills hold
large stocks to fill recent orders. Can.
cellations become so numerous as to
cause some uneasiness, but as yet only
help mills which have taken more orders
than they can fill. Failures for two
weeks have been $5,357, 1870; manufac.
turing, 1886, 1888; and trading, s.. 500.
600.
Failures for the week were 2lS in the
United States, against 17S last year, and
AZ Ill Canada, against IS last year.

best terms. The Beers and the British
wounded fraternized.
Noticing that the bandohers of the
enemy were filed with soft-nosed bull
let's, oGc of our men said: "You ought
not to bring such things to fire at u.s."
The Beers replied: eve must use
whatever we can get"
This particular boer contingent had
come from the northern district of the
Trahsvaal, where the Beers are used to
hufting big game along the Limpopo.
The men had obtained their ammunition
for that purpose.
After the retirement of the British
forces the Beers held prayer meeting
and thanked Heaven for their successes.
Then they separated into small parties
and moved to their various outposts,
chanting hymns as they went.

a man fell out of the ranks exhausted he
would rejoin his company later after he
had rested. Some 80 or 60 We're over
come by the heat and had to be sent to
the rear i'll the backward defile Of
empty wagons.
The rapidity of Lord Roberts move
ments away from his base has solved
one of the problems, perhaps the chief
problem, of the war. He and Lord
Kitchener have created a mobile force,
able to move in exterior lines, and to
outflank the Beers, themselves so won
derfully mobile.
The position of the Boer army at
Spytfontein being untenable, General
Cronje ordered retreat.
