DUN'S REVIEW OF A D

NEW YORK, February 16.-R. G..
Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade
will say tomorrow:
Business continues larger than ever
at this season in amount of payments
and on the whole as large as ever in
retail deliveries, though new transac-
tons do not yet give assurance that
it will hold at the same rate. Condi-
tions affecting new orders and con
tracts have changed in some respects
most favorably, while other changes
tend to restrict operations for a time,
but a conservative judgment of the
conflicting tendencies appear to war
rant strong hope.
The suit of Mr.. Prick against the
Carnegie company to obtain an ac-
counting and settlement discloses
enormous profits made when prices of
steel products doubled last year, but
when peace was kept by the gigantic
iron and steel combinations. That re-
suits of great Importance may spring
from a contest affecting the control
of So many iron works is evident. The
new sheet company has united own
eTship of 160 mills, it is said, but four
widely known concerns controlling 65
mills refused to Join. Prices of pig
have not changed. though considerable
sales, including $780, for export, are
reported, but the excess of supply over
demand which appeared in January,
is increased by the starting of a new
furnace with a capacity of 500 tons
daily. A sale is reported of $4,000, GOO
pounds Calumet and Hekla copper to
consumers of the Naugatuck Valley
at Is cents.
Failures for two weeks have been
2iS in the United States against 178
last year and ~ in Canada against IS
last year.

CHICAGO, February 16.-Corn yield

ers, May finishing to-day's session u
@%c under yesterday. Wheat weak
ened with corn, feeling also the heavy
Argentine shipments and lower cables.
May closed kc lower. Oats closed Nc
and provisions a trifle depressed.
The wheat market opened easy on
the heavy Argentine shipments and
lower cables, May B@Ae depressed at
6SA @687sc. There was little doing in
cash wheat, the export demand was
not encouraging, and following the
opening May gradually sold off to 6SA
@6SBc. The decline was helped along
by the weakness of corn. At the bot
tom there was some demand from
commission houses which caused a re-
action of the market to $3.50. The
close was weak, May kc down at
6Skc. The greater part of the session
was quiet although there was some &C.
tivity during the first hour and also
during the last thirty minutes. New
York reported sixty loads taken for
export. Atlantic port clearances in
wheat and flour were equal to 236, 900
bushels. Primary receipts were 549,-
600 bushels, compared with 507, 900
bushels last year. Minneapolis and
Duluth reported 5S1 cars, against 81
cars last week, and 294 cars a year
ago. Local receipts were 16 cars, none
OF which was graded contract.
The corn market suffered a relapse
from its recently acquired strength,
tho nrinn hoin0 unable fO x;+Iofo,l
the heavy lines thrown on the mar
ket. h sales were for profits and
considering the deluge the price held
pretty well. Country offerings gener-
ally were reported small. Receipts here
were 476 cars. May opened at $3.50
35A, touched $3.50, declined to $3.50
34Ac and closed h@%c down at
34Ac.
Oats, clinging to the course of the
grain market, could do nothing but
recede, which they did. The cash de-
mand was poor. Receipts here were
179 cars. May ranged from "a to 23%,
closing at the bottom, Nc under yes
terday.
The weakness of corn and selling by
longs depressed the provisions market,
which closed barely steady. Trade
was quiet. There was covering of
pork and lard and a l.,ie nibbling It
lard by exporters. May pork sold from
s11 05 to $40 80 and closed 2h@5c
down at $40 5000 97k; May lard
from Sc 10 to s602H@6 05, closing a
shade depressed at Sc 05@6 071A, and
May ribs from Sc 021a to S. 9714, with
the close a shade under yesterday at

THE BOER ACTIVITY.
Pierced Rundle's Lines and Proceeded
Southwark.

London, June 27.-Telegrams from
South Africa indicate that the renewed
Boer activity increases in proportion
with Lord Roberts quiescence, so the
completion of the commander-in-chief's
e~nveloping movement, supposed to be
in progress, is ~anxiously awaited.
The news this morning supports the
belief that the Beers succeeded in
piercing General Rundle's lines and
proceeded southwark.
1t appears hat the failure of the Brit
ish to properly guard their line of COM
%munication north of Kroonstad involv-
ed disaster to a body Of Basutos work
ing on the railroad, of whom 20 were
killed and 200 made prisoners. This
has had a decidedly bad effect on the
native mind and a recrudescence of I'M
rest is reported in Basutoland.

ALL CARS


St. Louis, June 27.-Except for the
boycott and 800 extra policemen on
duty, but little remains to tell of the
great strike on the st. Louis Transit
company's system, ~inaugura:ed MAY 8.
Cars are in operation on all the Ines
without hindrance and are well patron
lied except on those running north and
south. Many thousand persons, because
of the boycott, and through sympathy
for the strikers, patronize wagons and
buses, manned by ex-street railway
the north and south sections of the
city.
Today the remainder of the force of
Sheriff Pohlmann's posse comitatus,
about 900, was mustered out of service
for good, the board of police commits
siorers deciding they were no longer
all but 1000 men should be discharged.
half of whom would be retained for
active service, the whole number to be
called on for duty July 4 to suppress
any trouble that might occur then.
President Edward Whitaker Of the
st. Louis Transit company says that
he knows nothing of the report that
three disinterested citizens had sub
mitted to an officer of the company a
proposed plan Of settlement of the
tee had been told to go to the strikers
and first get their approval.
At the strikers headquarters no
settlement has been presented.

SUNDAY is CAUSE OF A WAR.
Mistake in Setting the Day Causes
South Sea Islanders to Murder.

Minneapolis, Mimi, June ga
Times special from Seattle, Wash,
says: One of the strongest rebellions
which has taken place in the last hun
dred years is in full swing in Baraton-
ga, a Pacific island under the British
rule in the south seas. Advices from
the Orient give full particulars of the
progress Of the uprising which has
spread owe the whole island. The ma
tives are advancing on the European
settlement along the coast and threat
ening the capital.
If it were not for the war in South
Africa and the Chinese disturbances
the rebellion would create worldwide
comment on account of its being a
struggle between the pOpulace and the
aristocracy Cthe traders).
The Inhabitants of the island were
originally brought in touch with civili-
cation through the efforts of mission
sent out by the London mission
airy society. Through the disturbing
