Pictures of -sharkey Contest.

The famous biography motion pic
lures of the Jeffries-Sharkey hight will
be seen at Harper's theatre Thursday
night. This exhibition is not only a
marvelously life-like reproduction of
the most stubbornly fought battle i'll
the history of the modern ring, but it
is also display of the latest and most
improved methods of taking pictures
of living, moving objects. The press
of all the large cities in which the
pictures have appeared pronounce
them to be the very best ever taken,
and to be wildly realistic.

schools in this city for the pur-
pose of giving a complete in
struction and training in the cut

schools in other parts of the country
demonstrates the practical value of
their special line of education, and
the establishment of this school here
well certainly prove of great benefit
to all persons who are interested in
the art of dress. We have been shown
many testimonials from pupils of the

When the collation. had received
proper attention from those gathered
about the ia bles, President Kingsbury.
officiating as POSTMASTER, made intro
ductory remarks, in which he felici-
tated upon the interest shown by the
business men in lending their pres
ence. He said the association. though
yet in its infancy, had accomplished
much of benefit to it's mem bership.
All was not done that should he done,
audit could be done well only through
cooperation. He advocated the spirit
of fraternalism among the business
people. Although competitors, they
should be friends. By mingling to-
gether they could be of assistance to
one another in various ways. Inter-
change of ideas was helpful to all.
Upon request, M. H. Sexton then read
the annual address of President Kings
bury, in which was set forth the work
carried on by the association during
the year, and suggestions offered for
the guidance of the organization in
the future.

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YORK, November Pr. r.
Dun & Company's Weekly Review of
Trade tomorrow will say:
With reasonable promptness BUSH
ness is recovering in both activity and
tone and fortunately without the sharp
rise in general prices which was seen
in the spring, and which was followed
BY a sudden and serious transition to
more natural range. Manufactured
goods are rising in response to a bet
ter demand from distributing sources,
helped at the end of the week by the
more seasonable weather Business is
not yet what it was on the top of the
wave of industrial prosperity, but the
working force Is fast increasing. The
ordinary measures OF business reflect
increasing operations at all points,
but the Textile markets are at the
point of least response to the improv-
ed undertone of trade. Recital of con-
ditions in the iron and steel market
has become monotonous repetition
Each week there is the same record
of activity so generally distributed
that everything from the raw material
to the finished product enjoys a share.
There is also the same freedom from
speculative accumulation in anticipa-
ton of fancy prices that has been for
weeks the most encouraging feature.
Railroad companies compete for roll
ing stock. Export orders in some lines
are filled with difficulty. owing to the
unusual domestic demand for all forms
of iron and steel products, but in no
mn rfo lie fhopo on HI IN,
f1ation of prices such as was seen dur
ing the meteoric ascent last year In
a few descriptions prices On export or
ders are shaded to hold the business.
Two factors initiate strongly against
activity and strength in wool and
woolens. Mild weather has been the
chief adverse influence, reducing sales
far below normal volume in this vi
cinity, while liquidation of embarrass-
ed concerns threatens to throw a con-
siderable quantity on the market at
forced sales In the light of these dis
quieting features it is not surprising
that sales of wool at the three chief
eastern markets declined to 1854, 331
pounds, against S,352,000 pounds in the
week preceding and 19,S70,392 pounds
year ago. Hides continue to rise,
regardless of the largest arrivals of
cattle at Chicago in many years.
Leather has ceased to follow the ad-
vancing hide market and most grades
of boots and shoes are at the prices
prevailing two months ago, except for
grain of 212 in mems satin shoes
and split and kip boots. Considering
the advance of over 10 per cent in
hides in these two months the gain in
the finished product is Insignificant
but every attempt to secure higher
prices ends negotiations for sales and
it is necessary to take orders at old
rates or close the shops.
Undaunted by recent reverses. specu-

Iators in cotton advanced the price
about $50 bale Ia ten days. Receipts
have been Of moderate volume, but
the size Of the current crop cannot be
appropriated by any ordinary system
of averages this year, owing to the
ample funds in the hands OF planters
enabling them to hold back much OF
their crop. Estimates have fallen be-
low ten million bales because of the
slow movement and this fact together
with last months record breaking val
ue Of exports forms the basis of pres
ent prices. October shipments are I'M
likely to be eQualled again, while sales
of next September's options at nine
cents do not take into account plans
for large increase in acreage next
year. Consumption decreases on ac-
count of the high price. Northern spin
ncrs having taken 100000 bales less
than last year to date, while British
exports of cotton cloths in October
were Is per cent less than in 1899 and
of cotton goods 3S per cent smaller.
Failures for the week were 23S in
the United States against 191 last year
and 20 in Canada against % last year.

Oats closed sha~e lower and pro-

1t was quiet day in the wheat pit.
The news had in it nothing which
could be twisted by bulls into ray OF
hope and liquidation continued with
scarcely any interruption until near
end of the session. Liverpool closed

here yesterday and Argentine ship
ments, according to board figures were
10000 bushels compared with 264,000
the week previous and 100000 bushels
the corresponding week last year. De-
cember opened A@1s to 5s@7sc high
err at 705s @707sc and declined during
the forenoon to 70@1sc. Here the mar
ket steadied and later, under the inf1u-
ence of moderate cash demand and
a prediction that the visible will show
a decrease Monday, reacted and closed
steady, &c under yesterday at 70ss
@&c. Seaboard clearances in wheat
and flour were equal to 414,000 bushels.
Primary receipts aggregated $4,000
bushels compared with 100000 bushels
last year. Minneapolis and Duluth re-
ported 474 cars against 482 last week
and TAO year ago. Local receipts
were 152 cars none of which graded
contract. The seaboard reported ten
leads taken for export.
Corn was quiet and easy, the legiti-
mate factors being good weather and a
prospect of increased country offerings.
1t was chiefly a scalping market. De-
cember sold between 363sc and 35%c,
and closed Nc lower at $3.50. George
Fl. Phillips, who has, apparently, cor
ner in November, did nothing to-day,
and, in consequence, deals in the cor
nered options were few and far be-
tween Corn for delivery this month
opened 15c up at Acc, and sold down to
43c, the close being lie under yesterday
at 441a. The grain inspection Office re-
fused to pass one consignment of corn
which had been treated in an attempt
make it into contract for delivery to
Phillips on the day of reckoning. Local
receipts were 369 cars, 10 of contract
grade.
Oats were in their usual condition of
funeral dullness and no business was
attempted except in the way of chang
ing December for May at premium for
the latter of 21s @2Ac. Receipts were
13e cars. December sold between 21%
age and PIX @217sc, and closed a
shade lower at 217sc.
Provisions were rather easy to begin
with because hog receipts were heavy
but the market turned firm later on
buying by an influential local operator.
January pork sold between S1170 and
$1,000, and closed 221ac over yesterday
at $1,000; January lard between $500
6.S21a and $500, closing sc higher at
Sc. and January ribs between S6.271a
and $685., with the close 21s@5c up at
