The Defendant Finally Agreed to Yer dict of $3O,OOO, and Most Stub bornly Fought Case in Ala
 bama Was Ended

Gadsden May 11.-(Special)-Th Dan- forth and Armstrong case against the Ten nessee and Coosa Railroad company has at last been settled, after having been a log to Etowah county courts for the past twelve years.
 entered suit in the Etowah circuit court for $150000 damages for breach of contract, they having contracted with the Tennessee and Coosa company to build a railroad from Littleton to Huntsville, and after working two months and receiving no pay stopped work and entered suit for work completed and profits that they would have made if they had built the road.
 The first verdict was for $5,S771S, and plaintiffs appealed to the supreme court. The case was transferred to the city court of Gadsden and on September h. 1891, a verdict for $39, ,990 rendered. The de- fendant then appealed In March, 1891 There was mistrial.

BRADSrREET'S REVIEW

New York, May 11.-Bradstreets tomor- row will say:
 'The trade situation this week may be summed in the phrase inactive demand and weaker prices"
 Iron and steel buyers still holding off, most of the business done being for small lots for immediate consumption Further declines are noted in steel billets, and for some finished products while sym pathetic weakness is reported in the other metals, such as copper lead and tin. Steel rails and structural material are excep- tions to the weakness noted prices for these products being firmly maintained.
 In speculative markets dullness has been the feature Wheat weakened on the fa- vorable government report which is taken to indicate yield of winter wheat OO,0O0,- 900 bushels greater than a year ago. Corn has been weaker than wheat in sympathy with the lower prices of provisions.
 Relatively good reports come from the retail trade at most centers, but as yet the volume of recorder business from whole salers and jobbers has proved disappoint- ing. Finished cotton and woolen products remain steady, and raw cotton is even a shade higher, but wool Is weaker owing to restricted demand from manufacturers and in sympathy with the lower prices set for many grades at the London wool sales Print cloths, though nominally firm at Fall River, continued to be offered below Liver pool prices.
 Corn is rather weak, owing to sympathy with other cereals. Better weather condi- tions at the south have tended to brighten trade reports from that section.
 Wheat including flour. shipments for the week aggregate 3,4S0574 bushels against B. 2S4, 1S2 bushels in the corresponding week last year. Since July 1 the exports of wheat aggregated 169, ,5O6, 900 bushels against 203. .5S1, ,304 bushels last year.
 Corn exports for the week aggregate A. 6SS, 40 bushels against 2.76S,694 bushels a year ago. Since July l corn exports aggre- gated 177, 75l 215 bushels against 145,27S S07 bushels during the same period year ago.
 Business failures In the United States for a year ago,
The age-herald., 1900-05-12

293, $50 tons, against 2S9, 4S2 April 1, while in sold stocks, not held by the great steel makers increased 44,650 tons.
 Bessemer pig a Philadelphia and Lehigh Valley No. here are quoted at S22 per ton. Considerable increase of business is report ed resulting from recent reductions, but de- mands for higher wages and also for clos ing of some iron works two months in the year, whether there is business or not, causes some hesitation regarding further contracts The smelting and refining com panies have reduced lead $9 per ton, and copper declined an eighth to 1873 cents for lake, while tin is also lower.
 wool yielded little more in the finer grades. A decrease of nearly ten per cent at the London sales Is one cause, but a more potent one is the continued absten- ance of buyers who do not find the market Tor goods at the advanced prices named this year. Cotton goods are also irregu- lar and in unsatisfactory demand, the price average only ten per cent. higher than they were November 1, while cotton has risen 33.9 per cent. from 7$s to 9M, and is supported by foreign buying. The opening of Philippine ports has reduced the price of hemp from 15 cents last No- Vember to Il cents.
 Shipments of boots and shoes are smaller than in the corresponding week of every year save one since 1894.
 Prices asked are practically as high as they were January l. though leather aver ages per cent. lower and hides about 10 per cent. lower.
 In spite of good exports wheat pros poets suffice to cause a decline of 1ss, while corn has declined 2ss cent. Corn exports still run much beyond last years in two weeks-6,S50, 300 bushels against 4,720, ,S66 last year-and Atlantic exports of wheat, flour included, have been in two weeks, 5,199, sos bushels against 5, ,236, 7O5 bushels last year. Of both grains the movement from the farms is large enough to dispel all fear that the supply will run short.
 Failures for the week have been 192 in the United States, against 165 last year, and b in Canada against 20 last year.

A Washington correspondent tells
about a mysterious package. just
placed in the safe of the librarian OF
Congress, which will puzzle
American imagination for a
century to come. This pack
age. which four men We're barely able
to lift into the safe, contains gift -
the American government. Its con-
tents are unknown even to the libra
rian: the name of the donor is known
by only two or three persons, and il is
expressly stipulated that the package
shall not be opened until the close of
the twentieth century. Here, then. is
great American mystery. What does
the package contain? Who gave it?
why the conditions imposing Il delay
OF 100 years before the gift can be dis
played? Guess, everybody, and may
everybody who desires live until the
mystery is explained, And Jet us hone
mat the opening of the package will
not prove a practical joke upon Uncl.
