BRADsTREETs ON THE WEEK.
Dizziness In Wholesale Trade Conn
tcrbaIanccd by Retail Business.

| NEW YORK, Dec 1.-Bradstreet's to-
! morrow will say:
There is a quieter tone and reduced
volume of business doing at wholesale IL
many lines. but this is not unusual at this
season, and is partly balanced by q larger
! interest in retail and holiday distribution
| Weather conditions are still a drawback
| to the trade in winter weight goods. but
1t Is notable that better report comes
from the Northwest than for some weeks
! past. Southern trade advices remain
| good, but retail business at Eastern mar
kets is still reported backward. In the
larger lines Of trade new features are not
numerous. Textiles are quiet and rather
| dull with agents, pending the opening OF
the spring season.
Wool and wooIens are still quiet. Cot
ton is irregular, and the market is at a
| balance. pending the publication Of the
however. is expected to approximate
| $3.50. 600 bales. The high cost of raw cot
ton has not as yet been equaled by the
advance in manufactured goods. A hope
ful feature this week, however. was the
taking of a large lot of brown cottons for
export to China.
THE higher trend Of values in Novem-
Der has been duplicated in the first week
Of December, and cereals, long backward
in this respect, have led the advance
which, however. has not been steadily
maintained The better business in No
vember is being reflected in renewed
gains in railway earnings over last years

swelIed by enormous interest payments,
are the heaviest ever recorded.
Finished products monopoliZe the ac-
tivity in the iron and steel trades, with
bars, plates. sheets, and bridge material
most active. In finished lines however
there is less reported doing In new bust
ness, but Pittsburg and Chicago mills are
reported sold ahead sixty to ninety days.
Much is heard about forthcoming reduc-
tions in cost of ore. coke, and labor. and
this undoubtedly checks ordering ahead.
but higher prices for rails are talked of.
and Southern furnaces are reported
heavily sold ahead. There is little or
nothing doing in Bessemer pig
Among other metals copper Is active
and firm, but tin is weaker.
"The shoe trade is cheerful. Hides are
rather easier. Snow and wet weather are
helping retail trade in shoes and rubbers
in northern markets. better report
comes from the flour milling industry.
but the demand is hardly what was ex-
pected. Sugar is higher for raws. but the
refining branch presents the old appear
ance of irregularity. and another price
war is foreshadowed despite the fact that
holiday requirements should be at their
best
The scarcity of small sizes of anthra-
cite coal is still feature, but no advance
at wholesale is looked for Dairy prod

which are not in excessive supply.

CINCINNATI, Ohio. Dec THE Duke

Melville Ellis. the dukes secretary and
companion, and Miss Evans. aunt of the
duchess, arrived here tonight, The PARTY

The only friend at the depot to greet
them was President Waldo, OF the Gin

The party were quickly driven 10 the
Zimmerman mansion, on Mount Auburn.
The only persons there outside of rela-
tives to receive the duke and ducness
were Mr.. Alexander Macdonald, the
Standard Oil magnate, and Mrs. Mac
donald. The duke said he and the duchess
would remain here about two weeks. and
that he was very glad to visit his wife's
native city. The duke had in chain two
Boston terriers, arrayed in neat, new
blankets. He put them in the carriage
with him. There was small struggling

Government such military advantage
over us that we cannot conceive how our
best business interests" would ever con-
sent to the slightest offence to that
Power. On the other hand if the Senate
had the patriotism and courage to reject
the treaty in toto and warn England that
we are not bound by the violated Clayton
BGiwer Treaty, and will not tolerate Eu-
ropean interference in American affairs.
that action might be a real casus belli

There are ample reasons for believing
that the casus would be ignored after q

Great Britain is in no condition to en-
gage in war with us. 1t may be granted
that the British navy could inilict great
damage upon our coasts; but before that
game had gone on long our fast cruisers
would be wiping the British flag from the
ocean, while British mills would be idle
FOR want of our cotton. and British mouths
hungry for our flour and meat.
The Hay-Pauncefote Treaty is an evi-
dence either Of the corruption that the
Clayton Bulwer Treaty reeked with or of
a national degeneracy which the fathers
Of the Republic could never have believed
possible in ten thousand years of national
life. Like the surrender to England of
the Porcupine district in Alaska. it is a
practical acknowledgment of cowardice if
not actually of vassalage. and it is time
to call halt. The Hay-Pauncefote
Treaty is an evil thing and will re-
main so. though it be plastered with
amendments from stem to stern. 1t
may be sweetened a little by clause de-
claring our purpose to fortify and protect
the Nicaragua Canal and to consider and
treat 1t as an integral part of our coast
line; but if that be done, where is the use
of the treaty at all? 1t would be better,
1t seems to us, to pass the Hepburn Nor
gan bill and stop right there.
