BUSINESS SITUATION
is SATISFACTORY
Manufacturers Have Resisted Infla-
tion | Prices in Steel, but De-
mand Attracts Importations.

New York, Jan. 31.--R. c. Dun e Co. s
review of trade tomorrow will say:
Despite some drawbacks the business situation
from manufacturing centcrs. Labor disputes are
somewhat more numerous and low water stopped
mills in parts OF the northwest. Special lines
were stimulated by seasonablc weather, but the
same influence affected others adversely.
Although manufacturers of steel have stub.
bornly resisted imitation of prices, the urgency OF
consumers has attracted more imporaions Dis.
tant deliveries are undertaken by domestic pro.
ducers, but. where immediate shipment is re.
quired, it is often impossible to prevent foreign
makers securing the business. Last years official
statement showed considerable loss in exports
Of some finished products OF iron and steel, and
this was doubtless due to the same pressure by
home consumers that is now bringing move
ment into the country, not in competition with
producers here, but because early deliveries can
rot be made. As anticipated, the ore companies
fixed Bessemer at the old rate of SI.25. The re.
markable report OF the steel corporation gives
some idea of the volume of business transacted
last year while contracts already placed prar-
tically still greater activity for 1902 All
lines have a share in the vigorous demand with
railway and structural supplies leading, and prep
| aration for spring work has removed the dulness
from pipe and tube departments. Minor metals
finally reached a point where consumets were
attracted and recovery general.
Liabilities of commercial failures during four
weeks Of January aggregate $12,902,007.

| If the allega tions of Alderman Dono-

! accidentally perpetrated.
| The Union Independent and Labor
| parties will be deprived of u place on
the official ballot in the Twelfth ward.
At the Democratic primaries. Alder
| man Donovan was opposed for Il re-
| nomination by p. l.. Ryan, the intrepid,
veteran politician of the Twelfth and
erstwhile deputy constable, on duty at
Alderman Kely's court. Alderman
Donovan won out but all undaunted,
Mr.. Ryan continued Il candidate and
sought and secured the nomination for
alderman from three different political
parties, the Independent, the Labor and
the Union.
Thursday. each of these parties filed
papers nominating Mr.. Ryan for alder
man. Yesterday. Alderman Donovan
filed exceptions to the papers, alleging
them TO be defective in that they did
not contain the signatures of the re-
quisite two per cent. of the total vote
of the ward and that the signatures
and qualifications of the signers were
not vouched for by at least five cleo
tors.
"The allegations of Alderman Dono-
van seem to be we'll grounded, and the
probabilities are Mr.. Ryan will not have
place on the ticket and his three par
ties will be completely disfranchised
Objections were also filed yesterday
to the Republican party certificates of

out the lateral sewers providing the
eSceptants would sign an agreement
not to object to the review of the main
sewer.
Two of the signers, however, in viola
tion OF this agreement, excepted to the
second view, alleging that they signed
an agreement under IL misapprehension
of its effect. Testimony on this point
was taken at the direction of the court
and it proved to be of very conflicting
nature.
Judge Edwards, in his opinion says
that in view of the fact that the con-
tention of the eXceptants was not in
dubitably established, and that it would
be, at all events, an unfairness to the
borough to put it to the expense of
another view, he would have to hold
that the written agreement was bind
ing, dismiss the exceptions and con-
firm the viewers report finally.

audiences. People who went the first
night went again and took their friends
and still again, and they will be there
tonight and this afternoon.
The dances last night were much the
same as those of the previous nights.
The May-pole dance was included in
the programme, and there were sew
eral interesting little details which
added to the beauty of the affair, The
entire house was sold and the overflow
was rather evident wherever u foothold
could be obtained.
Miss Stewart received quantities of
flowers and continual evidences of the
appreciation in which she is held in
this city.
1t is hoped that today the voting on
favorite dances will be more enthusl-
astic. This pleasant diversion assists
materially in swelling the fund.
The afternoon dances went off most
pleasingly. The leading roles in the
Cinderella pantomime were delightfully."-
