REVIEW OF WEEKS TRADE.
Conditions Are Uncertain, But Vol
ume of Business Large.
The Shipping Facilities Are Heavily
Taxed to Keep Pace with the
Demands of Distributors.

New York, Sept. 28.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Notwithstanding several unsatisfactory
features the volume of trade continues
large and the distribution of merchan-
disc taxes shipping facilities. An
nouncement of concerted effort to re-
strict production of pig iron indicates
that supplies have begun to accumu-
late. Railway earnings continue to
show gains, for September thus far,
exceeding last years by 81 per cent.
and those of 1901 by 17.2 per cent.
Traffic blockade occurred to some ex-
tent, although the movement of farm
products is still unseasonably small.
New labor controversies have begun,
but a number of serious troubles have
been averted, and on the whole the
number of men idle voluntarily has
diminished. Enforced idleness in the
iron and steel industry is more than
offset by the resumption of spindles
at cotton mills, and there is great ac-
tivity at footwear factories, although
the margin of profit is narrow. Lower
prices for the leading agricultural sta
pies indicate general belief IN i'm
proved crop prospects.
Failures this week numbered 232 in
the United States, against 207 last year,

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 28.-Peace was
patched up between the Buchanan and
Parks factions in the International As
ISOLATION Of Bridge and Structural Iron
Work Workers at their annual conven-
ton Saturday forenoon.
President Buchanan had scarcely
called the convention to order in regu-
lar session when the Parks crowd ex-
pressed desire to ignore the proceed
ings OF their own rump convention Fri
day, and proceed in a regular way.
Then the convention took formal vote
on the motion to reconsider the vote
which Daniel Brophy, member of local
No. 2, and who held proxy from Scran-
ton, Pa, had been seated.
Brophy was unseated by good major
ity. AS he rose to leave the hall, Sam
uel Parks advanced toward him with ex-
tended hand. Brophy refused to shake
hands with the New York walking dele
gate until the latter apologized for the
singing words directed against Brophy
on Thursday. This Parks did fully,
and when the door closed upon Brophy,
the convention settled down for the first
peaceable session since they convened
last Monday.
The convention was formally organ
lied, and stopped long enough to listen
to the annual address of President Blu
chanan, which was to have been deliv-
cred on Tuesday
Later Mr.. Brophy was invited to at
tend the sessions of the convention,
in which, however, he was to have no
vote. He declined this offer and out
side the convention said: 81 will go
