Bradstreet's Summing Up of Week
Just Closing.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2-Bradstreets
financial review tomorrow will say:
Financial conditions for the time being
have assumed a condition OF settled ease,
which to some extent induces investment
buying of bonds and prime dividend-pay-
ing railroad and other stocks The IN
creased facilities with which spacu alive
holdings can be carried has also LED TO
renewed activity by bull pools and manip-
ulative operations. and even attracted
certain amount Of fresh public purchas-
ing in Wall street
s'The fact that London Itself seems to
have discounted all the bad news from
the seat Of war In South Africa renders
sr1ch intelligence as the abandonment of
the forward movement of Gen. Buffers
forces at Natal Of little influence in
bearish sense. and the American stock
market public also appears to have come
to the conclusion that the reported com
plications are to play decided part In
shaping the action of speculation on this
side of the ocean. More time has conse-
ouently been given to the favorable side
of affairs at home.
''The continued excellent exhibit or
earnings made by various roads are not
neglected, but so far as immediate Ell
fects on the markets are concerned they
yielded to the current developments con-
corning Industrial organizations.
ssThe most important development OF
the week was the announcement that the
American Steel and Wire company had
declared Z per cent on It's common stock
out of the earnings Of the year 1889. the
figures given out at the same tine indi-
eating that the company had earned
about is per cent on that portion OF Its
capital"

Summing Up of Situation by r.. G..
Dun & Co.
NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-R. g. Dun g.
Co.'S weekly review Of trade of tomor
row will say:
rms year starts with much Of the
years business already done, and all
comparisons will prove misleading If that
fact Is not taken into account. Last wear
the certainty Of great Improvement had
come before the year opened, and there
was rush to get in orders before works
became crowded and prices advanced.
This year the works were already crowd
ed for months ahead in most lines, and
prices had already advanced so far that
recoii had already commenced in some
branches and was thought probable in
others.
With the exception of wooden manu-
features. the chief Industries have met
less new business in January than last
year, though deliveries on previous con-
tracts have been larger than a year ago.
In work turned out, the past month
probably suspasses all others, and, right
ly considered, the fact that new contracts
for works already well supplied are
smaller than last year, Is not of itself
discouraging. The great burst of specu-
lation last year swelled January pay
ments through clearing houses far be-
yond those Of this year at New York,
and such payments at other cities also
averaged per business day a shade larg-
er than this year. But much greater de-
crease must have appeared in transact
lions connected with formation Of new
companies.
1.-THE iron and steel industry is so far
tied up by contracts reaching through
most of the year that the effect of pro-
duction, exceeding consumption, Is felt
only in some branches. A little lower
price has been made for foundry iron
In considerable transactions, though Bes-
semer does not yield. but steel biilets
are offered by some at s33 per ton. Diff
ferences between producers and some of
the largest consumers of steel block the
market. In plates and bars concessions
are still made to secure business, in
sheets the demand Is stronger. and in
rails, structural forms, tin plates and
nails prices are held firmly"

be held at London, a community of about
1000 inhabitants.
Before the time set for the meeting
of the legislature had arrived, and with
out any violence or threats Of violence
having resulted therefrom. the acting
governor appealed to the federal execu-
tive for troops to suppress the insurrec-
ton. That appeal has been denied. The
contestants for the offices In dis
pute- applied to the state courts
for an order enjoining the act
ing governor from putting his proc
lamation of adjournment of the legisla-
ture into effect. The court granted a
writ directed to Mr.. Taylor, In the ma
ture of an order to show cause why he
should not be SO restrained, and made
that order returnable at a date prior to
the contemplated meeting Of the legisia-
ture. This order was met by the acting
governor directing his military forces
that all persons seeking to effect service
of it should be excluded from his pres
ence and from the state house. Despite
all his precautions. however. service.
which is declared legal, of the order has
been made.
No violence has been done or attempted
by any of the adherents~of Geebel dur
ing the progress Of these events, either
before or since his attempted assassina-
ton.
Not one Of these facts admits of dis
pute. The Clio b e endeavors to state
them as dispassionately and as fully as
possible. Let the reader, whatever his
politics may be, examine them. If they
are of no further value their recital may
enable fair-minded men to more easily
reach just conclusions from the events
of the Immediate future than they might
do without having had placed before
them in consecutive form q statement OF
facts and circumstances about which
there is and can be no dispute.
So far as the G 10 b can discern there
is but one substantial question. II any
question at ALL In dispute between the
contending parties. That question Is
this: Whether the provision Of the state
constitution which declares the findings
of the legislature in contested election
cases shall be concurred in by majority
of both houses requires that 1t shall DO
concurred in not only by a majority In
Joint session, but by majority Of each Of
the two houses acting separately? If the
action taken in Jaint session fulf1lls the
requirements of the constitution, then
acting Gov. Taylor appears to us to
be a usurper. IT, on the other hand,
majority of each house Is needful, the
such majority would result in Taylcr's
installation. This Is question which thu
courts Of Kentucky are ordained to pass
upon. What part armed troops, state or
federal, should have In that settlement
is a matter which no rational man out
side of Kentucky can be expected to un-
derstand.

SUBSIDY BILL IN DANGER.
Congressman Stevens, of st. Paul,
Unearths Some Objections


WASHINGTON. D. c., Feb. Com
gresham Stevens, of St. Paul. who, as
a member of the merchant marine and
fisheries committee, has been leading the
fight against the Hanna-Payne subsidy
bill, has made a discovery which threat
ems to upset that bill entirely and call for
its radical modification. The point he
makes seems to be we'll taken and its
force Is admitted even by the stanchest
friends of the bill, who say that IL
Stevens Is right the bill Is doomed
Mr.. Stevens has for several weeks been
reading the commercial treaties between
this government and other countries with
view to posting himself thoroughly as
to their meaning and limitations Yes-s
terday he took up the treaty with Japan.
which is the last one made and was ne
gotiated by w. Q. Gresham, secretary OF
state under President Cleveland. There
is a section in the Japanese treaty which
provides that the citizens of both the
high contracting parties shall have In
both countries equal rights and privileges
as to "warehousing, bounties. facilities
and drawbacks" The word "bountes"
occurs in many of the other commercial
treaties, but invariably with some clause
of limitation. In the British treaty. for
example. it is "bounties on EXPORTS" In
the Russian treaty, "bounties on goods
and merchandise" and so on. In the
japanese treaty, however. there is no
limitation whatever, and Mr.. Stevens con-
tends that the treaty Is of such char
actef as to permit Japanese ships to take
full advantage of all the subsidies offer
ed in the pending bill; and If Japan Is so
permitted, then all other nations would
be entitled to come in under the favored
nations clause
Mr.. Stevens discovery is vital and fun
damental and strikes at the very heGrt
of all questions connected with the pra-
ent bill. His points were yesterday sdb-
nitted to the leading house members who
favor the bill and to leading railroad Of
ficials of the East, among them the presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania system. all OF
whom declared that If Stevens was right
the pending bill must be abandoned.

JANUARY BANK CLEARINGs.
Comparisons With Previous Periods
Made by Bradstreet's.

Comparisons With Previous Periods
Made by Bradstreet's.
NEW YORK. Feb. 2.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
AT first the January bank clearings
do not appear as favorable as might be
wished for. The aggregate for the month
at eighty cities of the United States was
only $685., 800, 7S3, a total sc per cent
smaller than that OF December, 1885, and
per cent less than January a year ago.
1t IS to be recalled, however, that bank
clearings year ago reflected heavy spec
ulation in stocks, and In other commodt
ties, not to mention numerous large in-'
dustrial fotations. This year stock
speculation has been notably dull and
the same is true Of dealings in other
commodities, while new industrial fota-
lions were conspicuous by their absence.
and yet, If the clearings at the metropo-
lis, which usually reflect much of the
speculative activity of the country, are
deducted, it will be found that bank
clearings in the rest, of the country make
very good showing, having in fact been
exceeded only twice in the last thirteen
months.
Comparisons with the years back of
1899, are. of course. extremely favorable.
The increase as compared with January.
1898, was 26 per cent, and as compared
with the same month of 1897 the gain ID
90 per cent, while increases over earlier
years are correspondingly heavier.
"As Illustrating the activity of the
country at large it might be stated that
only two groups, the Eastern and Middle
states cities, show decreases, these being
due, of course, to large decreases shown
at New York and Boston. The decrease
in the Middle states group Is 1871 per cent
from a year ago, while in New England
the falling off is 81 per cent.
THE heaviest gain is that shown In the
far VESTS per cent, but the Western
group shows gain of 16.5 per cent; the
Southwestern cities an increase Of S4 per
cent, and the Northwestern cities a gain
of per cent.
Smaller speculative activity at Balu-
more Is reflected in the increase of Ls
per cent in the Southern group, but near
ly all the other Southern cities snow
gains. notwithstanding the small move
ment of the cotton crop.

LEE AND WHEELER.

Certain ladies of Chicago are reported
as having engaged themselves in a move
ment to do honor to Gems. Fitzhugh Lee
and Joe Wheeler. The movement may be
regarded as remarkable one. Both Of
these men, like all the forgotten or I'M
known heroes of the late war, are
wrong in their politics. This fact fully
explains the little concern they have re-
ceiyed in the many movements toward
hero worship which have been so astutely
set on foot from time to time by the
managers Of the itnperialist administra-
tion
In the case of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee 1t
may be said that no one ever looked for
ward to his appearing in any conspicuous
light In connection with the events Of
the past year or two. Too early at the
outset of military events 1t was made
plain that he was doomed to PLAY the
part Of a military wall flower. It was
beautiful thing in Its way to see the
old hero Of the Confederacy once mere
buckle on his sword to IN duty under
the authority of the governmeu. against
which he was once in arms. But 1t WAS
no part in the imperialist programme Of
burying civil dissension that he
should be allowed to add in former Span
ish dominiens to the laurels which he had
won for himself in the fields Of the South.
No doubt the old warrior early discover
ed the way in which the wind Of inn
perialist favor blew, and was resigned
to resume the privacy from which he
emerged to volunteer his services to the
Mckinley administration.
The case Of Gen. Wheeler is somewhat
different. Fortune had it In store for
him that he should show the fre Of his
young days once more on the field o.
Ell Caney. There he Won anew his spurs
as g. valiant soldier, end when the end
had come and the public showed some
disposition to glorify the old trooper of
the Confederacy, he was shipped eff to
the Philippines, and he has siuce been
lost in the jungles Of the island Of i4uzon.
But he has his uses for the adminisrra-
tion politicians. He rode in the chariot
of the imperialist president through the
cities and towns of the South, and made
the progress Of that great man one
which must have left deep impress on
the statesman soul of the great guardian
of imperialism. the august senator from
Ohio
But Joe Wheeler, like Fitzhugh Lee,
has met the doom so touchingly described
by Mr.. Cleveland as that OF innocuous
desuetude. It is meet, indeed, that
/ thoughtful women should take the cases
of these two warriors to their hearts.
They deserve the recognition they never
received, and which we fear they never
will receive so long as the imperialist
badge Is necessary to the winning of pub
lie adulation They should be promoted,
or they should be allowed to remain In
the peaceful obseurity to which the ext
gencles Of imperialist politics have dedi-
Gated both of them.
The case of one non-imperalist hero,
that of Admiral Winfield Scott Schley.
must always remain at once warning
and consolation to such men as they.
