Tho Rus,nesa situation.

Bradstreet's in its issue Of Saturday
says: '..Close examination of leading
lines OF industry fails to show marked
iinfavorable features. 1t is true that
retail trade in seasonable goods has
been and is being affected by phe-
nomenally mild winter weather, but
wherever spring trade, particularly in
dry goods, has developed, is has been
in such volume and accompanied with
such readiness of acceptance of ad-
yanced prices as to point to un.
diminished confidence on the Part of
the trade wcrld as to the outlook for
spring business. The iron and steel in
ddstry, justify regarded as a trust
worthy index of general trade, is still
actively employed on old orders, and
new business is limited for reasons un-
necessary to recaritulate.
r. G. Dun & Co.. Review says
whether the new year will surpass OF
keep pace with the old is the question
which gives especial interest to every
weeks return. Comparing now with
business by far the largest and most
prosperous ever known year ago,
mole than 40 per cent larger than in
January, 1898, which in its turn had
shown heavier business than in any
year preceding. it cannot be expected
that such gain will be repeated. Bui
the decrease in payments through clear.
ing houses is wholly due to great
speculative activity at New York last
year, with sales Of 12.031, 1872 shares,
against 6,51S, 920 to the same date thit
year, for payments outside this city
have been greater than a year ago ane
greater than in the same part of any
other month. AS respects profits
practically all the business done thi!
month yields larger returns to labor
| to production, trading and transport
ing, than business of the same amoun
yielded last year +"

STRUGGLE FOR INDEPENDENCE.

Ell Paso, Tex, Jan. IS. The Indians
of Sonora, the only race in all Mexico
that was able to survive the Spanish
invasion and preserve its individuality,
are making their last stand against the
Mexican government. Thus far, it
seems the Mexican soldiers have been
found inadequate to cope with the
Yaquis.
A proclamation hes been issued by
the ruler of the Yaqui Nation, addr essod
to The American People," and is in
part as follows:
"The Yaaui Nation has begun its
struggle for independence. 1t will no
longer tolerate the Mexican army in
Sonora. The nation has established a
provisional government, the officers of
which are at Bapspe. In the event of
the success of the Yaqui people over
tho Mexicans, no foreigners, except
native born Americans, will be allowed
in Sonora for several years. The prop
erty and persons Of Americans in
Sonora will he protected by the Yaquis
in every way." 4-
