Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. S.-A spe'
cial from Marquette, Mich, says the
fund of $3.50 which was raised by a
one-sixth mill tax in Michigan for aid
of soldiers who came back from the
Spanish war in a condition which I'M
fitted them for work has been exhaust
ed, and figures given out at the audi
tor-generals Office in Lansing show
that six companies which went from
the upper peninsula got over third
of the entire bounty. The amount
which they received was $66,S03.37.
This division of the funds is causing a
good deal of bitterness between the SOL
diers from the two parts Of the state.
and those of the lower peninsula are
accusing the upper peninsula volun-
teers of having made regular grab
bag out of the fund.

made that his accounts were over $l0,-

there is some mistake in the accounts.

CO. Cal, Jan. S.-There have been six
deaths from bubonic plague in Homo
lulu. Five of them occurred within a
period of thirty-six hours, Dec. II and
IL. The sixth occurred Dec. IA. Strict
quarantine of the districts in which
the plague appeared has been estab-
lished. A house-to-house cleaning OF
all the infected districts has been
made, and it is believed that no more
cases will develop, or If they do, there
will be no chance of the disease gain
ing a foothold or assuming the pro-
portions of an epidemic. OF the six
victims, four were Chinese. one was a
Gilbert islander and one a Hawaiian

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE.
Business slen Have Been Occupied
with Settlements.
END OF THE YEAR FAILURES.
last Days of 1899 Add to the Number
Hitherto Observation-Disclosures Revision
of Prices Looked For--wheat Is Nov
Ing sluGcishly.

New York, Jan. S.-R. G.. Dun e
Cot weekly review Of trade says:
Failures in 1899 were 1898 in num-
Der, with liabilities of s123,l32, 679. The
last days Of the year added few to
the number and some millions to the
known liabilities of firms and banks
which failed close to the end, SO that
commercial defaults reached $90,S7s.-
$50, of which $50, 792, 164 was in manu-
featuring, s4S,924,771 in trading and
s11 ,162,954 in brokerage, promoting
and other commercial liabilities.
Most people in business have been
so occupied with the accounts and the
settlements of the last year that little
new business has yet been done. No
new tendency In manufacture or in
trading appears, and less change than
was anticipated in money markets.
There is nothing unsound in the bust
ness of the great industries, but an ex-
tensive revision of prices may disap-
point extreme expectations.
Wheat still moves very sluggishly
with small change in prices. In six
months of the crop year about $4,000
600 bushels, -four included, have been
exported. against 123.OOO,0 900 last year
Atlantic exports have now fallen to
only 2,060,926 bushels for the week,
against 5,214,4 last year. and Pacific
Exports were 531,225 bushels, against
614,S33 last year. The price is prae
tically unchanged, as also for corn, Of
which 3,923,195 bushels have been ex-
ported for the week, against 3,572, Az
last year.
Failures for the week have been
273 in the United States, against 24S
last year, and rs in Canada, against "a
last year."
Bradstreet's says.
Perhaps the most notable movement
among leading staples is that devel'
oped in hogs and hog products. a bet
ter realization apparently being had Of
the features making for strength in
those products, notably among which
being the reduction in the supply Of
hogs. That the advance in hog prod
ucts is beginning to attract more at
tention seems evident from the extent
to which this advance has had sym
pathetic reflection in the prices OF
wheat and other cereals"

I'VE find from the evidence that the
