TRADE REPORT.

r. G. Dun G Co.'S Weekly Review of
Trade for last week is as follows:
general advance in the price of pig
iron Indicates that record breaking ac-
tlvity at furnaces fails to produce ac-
emulation OF supplies. Steel mills are
seeking material urgently and Besse-
mer pig for prompt delivery at Pitts
burg Is not available below $3.50.
The feature among the minor metals
was the sharp advance In tin to much
the highest point Of the year, because
of delayed arrivals. In marked contrast
TO the rise In tin was a sharp DECLINE
In silver to the lowest prices since early
in 1898.
The shoe shops In the east are fully
employed, while western producers
were never more extensively engaged.
Recent buying Of cotton goods for Chi.
ma has stimulated the export movement
and for the year thus far the value
shows an Increase over any preceding
year. Asia and South America are the
leading customers.
Conditions are even more favorable
at woolen mills, one concern refusing
a large order for delivery In February.
Heavy weight goods are active with re-
tailers and jobbers.
Wheat also held firmly. closing the
week &c up above the price year ago,
which is very satisfactory in view Of
the vast increase in yield. Receipts at
the interior are liberal, 6,G20,433 bush
els, against 3,391.7S9 last year, but the
gain in foreign buying Is stlll the feat
ure eXDOrtS from all narts of the
United States in I've days aggregatlng
3.975,S19 bushels, compared wibh
1888 ,070 year ago

Washington, Dec 4.-The United States
supreme court has rendered decision in
the case of Emil j. Pepke versus the
United States. This is the case known as
the IA diamond rings case" and involves
the c6nstitutionality of the imposition
of customs duties upon merchandise
brought into the United States from the
Philippine islands after the exchange of
the peace treaty with Spain. The opin-
ion was handed down by Chief Justice
Fuller.
The opinion was adverse to the claims
of the government on the ground that the
Philippines were at the time the rings
were brought in American territory; ceas-
ing to be foreign territory, they became
domestic territory, he said.

HUG OVERLAPS GIRLS RIBS.
Miss HuEin. of JaneSvilIe. Wis, Suf.
fers from Her Athletic Lovers
Embrace,

Miss Carrie Hugin, of GAINESVILLE,
Wis, was so tightly hugged by her
lover the other evening that the serv-
ices of a local physician were neces-
sary to release her overlapped ribs.
The young woman is we'll known and
popular here and her case has at
tracted considerable attention from
medical standpoint.
Miss Hugin and her lover had been
out walking. On reaching home they
spent considerable time talking on
the shady porch. This was at ten
o'clock in the evening.
Before his departure for home the
strong admirer grasped his sweetheart
in his arms and with mighty force en-
braced her. Miss Hugin was unable to
sleep that night on account of excess
sive pains in her side, and in the morn
ing she consulted physician, who
found that her lower ribs had become
interlocked. Close examination failed
to reveal any fractures. Miss Hugin
after considerable hesitation and ques-
tioning revealed the cause of her in
jury.

ELECTRIC POWER IN SWEDEN.
Prospect for Its General Adoption an
Railroad Motive Power in Near
Future Is Good.

Advices from Stockholm state that
the time is not far distant when the
railroads of Sweden will be operated by
electricity. As is we'll known, Sweden
possesses much water power in the
falls and rapids of her rivers, and for
a long time the idea has prevailed to
utilize their power in a greater meas
ure than heretofore, especially for
railroads.
One of the foremost engineers of
Sweden has prepared an estimate Of
power required to operate all the
Swedish railroads, comprising about
$500 miles. and he calculates it al 32,-
900 horse power, which could be pro-
cured easily.
1t is his plan to erect IL central sta
tions of 5000 horse power each, dis
tributed over the country. The cost
would be about 4O,0O0,O0O of Swedish
crowns (about S10,O00,000) which
amount, in consequence of the result
ing decrease of operating expenses,
would be a good investment.

Study of Crane CuIture.

Experiments are being conducted
by the department of agriculture
with view to ascertaining the cause
of the failure of European grapes, of
the Malga, Tokay, Rhineland and
Burgundy types, to thrive in the
United States east of the Rocky
mountains. Vines of the varieties
above mentioned are being grated on
Concord. Niagara and other native
stocks, and these are now being cul-
tivated under various conditions of
shelter and humidity with view to
obtaining the best results and dis
covering what factor is inimical to
their existence in the eastern part Of
the United States.
