insurgents Concentrating.

London, August ll.-A dispatch
from Constantinople says that the
Macedonian insurgents are concen-
trating between Prilip and Dibra for
the purpose of interCepting the Turk
ish reinforcements from Old Seryia
Appeal to Powers.
Sofia August 1.-THE delegates
here of the Macedonian committee ad-
dressed the following appeal to each
of the representative powers;
THE Mussulmans systematic perse-
cution has compelled christians in Ma
general rising, They have had re-
course to this extreme measure
after exhausting all pacific means to
secure the Intervention of Europe to
enforce the provisions of the Berlin
treaty At the present moment inter-
vention is the only means of remedy
ing the evil and stopping the blood
shed Sporadic efforts of the powers
to secure reforms having failed they
resulted merely in recrudescence OF
Turkish fanaticism and government
oppression.
1T is evident that reform measures
to be effcacious must include the ap
pointment of christian governor gen.
cral of Macedonia. some one who has
never held Office under the porte, who
must be independent of the Turkish
government in the exercise of his
functions, and the further appoint
ment by the powers OF a Joint. per
manent administrative board with full
powers to deal with any disturbance
Having published the foregoing
facts to the civilized world and made
known that which has driven Mace
domains to despair, the committee for
the Macedonians now in arms proposes
to continue the fight until the object
Of their uprising has been attained
May BE Concerted Action.
Rome, August lit is stated here
that there has been an exchange Of
views between the powers regarding
the situation in Macedonia and that,
apparently the powers have decided to
support Austria and Russia in their
efforts to reestablish peace.

Supposed Tramp Closely Resembles
 Forqer Who Mulcted Bank.

San Francisco, November 13.-George W. Carthew a supposed tramp now serv- ing a thirty days sentence in the county 5ail for vagrancy, sufficiently resembles the description of a man wanted for mulcting q New York bank out of $l00.- poo to make his return to that city to answer to the charge almost certainty. Carthew was visited in the jail by men who have a photograph and minute dis eription of the forger and they say the prisoner Is the man as nearly as any one can tell from the descriptions.
 Carthew was arrested several weeks ngo upon a suspicion that he was the de- faulter The information was furnished by a man who was a depositor at the bank where Carthew is supposed to have been employed as cashier.

DISTRIBUTION Is
 NOT STIMULATED
Wage Scale and Warm Weather
 Affect Merchandise
LABOR TROUBLES A FACTOR
Significant Events Show Situation In Iron and Steel-Repressio Gov erns General Trade and h.
 dustry-coal Is Dull.

New York, November 13.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Re-adjustment of wages and abnormally warm weather are not calculated to sum ulate distribution of merchandise, es- pecially wearing apparel and fuel Sever al other staple lines are quiet as Is usual at this season of the year, yet the splendid profits of agricultural com munities cannot fail to put large sums of money in circulation, and provide a market for commodities. Prices of all staples were slightly higher on NoVem- Der IA than month previous, but in the past two weeks the level has fallen some what. Settlements of labor disputes in meat packing, lthographing and several minor industries are offset by new strug- gles in the building trades, street car lines and coal mines, while the cut in wages of iron workers and spinners' may result in strikes. A helpful event was the resumption of work at the Montana copper mines, coke ovens and western stock yards Railway earnings for the first week of November were 4.S6 per cent larger than last year.
 Several significant events have occur red that indicate clearly the situation in the iron and steel industry. While fur mace stocks are far in excess of all re- cent high points, there is some offset in tne visible supplies held elsewhere, and now that quotations have fallen to more attractive position, there Is req son to look for some delay in demand.
 Markets More Active.
 After the first shock of new prices was over, the markets became more active. One feature is the loss sustained by job bers and dealers who had stocks on hand purchased above the new level but there is more satisfaction expressed than oth- erwise over the lower figures, since they are calculated to stimulate activity.
 In footwear the only feature is the urgency of jobbers to get quick delivery on fall contracts, resulting in heavy ship ments from New England shops. Hides are steady, with firmer tone With raw cotton stubbornly held at high position and consumers reluctant to advance bids for finished products, 1t was inevitable that cost of production must come down. Hence, the cut in wages at Fall River mills was not unexpected. Inquiries for cotton goods are numerous, but buyers and sellers cannot agree as to prices and little new business is closed. A slight im- provement is noted in supplementary or ders for woolens.
 Failures this week numbered 2S3 in the United States against 24l last year, and 27 in Canada compared with 24 a year ago.

WoMAN;; ANrrHrv

After a week notably gay yesterday was very quiet with the exception of the en- tertainlng done by various club hostesses, and several small informal dinners last evening. The coming week will include a good deal of entertaining, but while al most every day since the opening of the season there has been constant entertain- ing no one seems to thinks that the sea- son is as gay as last. The debut parties alone make the winter gay and interest," ing, and if it were not for the debutantes society would have little to expect in the way of luncheons and dinners now that the early weddings are over. The South ern club reception, which will be as usual elaborate and brilliant will be the inter- esting topic for the next ten days and in the meantime there will be some private entertaining.
 Mrs. William Mabry will be in charge of the cake and bread market today, which is conducted every Saturday under the auspices of St Agnes Guild of the Church of the Advent. The market will in future be conducted at Fox's corner, Fourth avenue and Nineteenth street, in- stead of at Dietllens. Breads and cakes of all kinds are sold, and the market is most convenient to numbers of house. keepers who patronize it regularly

BRADST7EET'S REVIEW.

Bradstreets tomorrow will say:
 Quietness and even repression govern general trade and industry, but prevail ing pessimism cannot hide the fact that some really encouraging signs are vis- ibe Taken as whole, general business this week is rather larger due to the expansion in retail trade at the northwest, where it is favored by cooler settled weather, and at the south where en- ormous quantity of cotton is being mar keted at excellent prices.
 Wholesale trade is still quiet as a whole. Export trade seems to be at last expand
 ing. Exports of leading products aggre- gate the second largest total ever re- corded in October. Despite the weakness manifested in iron and steel, stocks of pig iron in --.e aggregate are little more than ten days production and the au- thorties assert that the present prices represent bottom values. Another ex- ample of this is noted in the leather trade, stocks of which at leading centers are said to be we'll restricted. Pig iron though no more active is in better tone A reduction of freight rates on steel from Pittsburg for export has been granted by the railroads.
 Other metals show downward ten- dencies. Chief among the depressing fea- lures brought to light this week, are the reports that finished steel products have been cut that wages of iron and steel and cotton mill employees must come down, and that some new shocks, notably general shutdown of Colorado coal mines, are menacing far western manu- featuring and railway activity
 High Prices Check Demand.
 On the other hand, the fact might just as well be faced that high prices have checked demand, that manufacturers of iron and steel believe the demand can be revived if price concessions are made, and that the wage reductions are cal culated to render this policy more ef- fectual.
 The lumber market is irregular. Coal is rather dull. Eastern shoe shipments are still heavy. Print cloths have been dull and unsettled and the claim is made that cloths and coarse. colored cottons are selling below cost of production.
 Wheat, including flour, exports for the week ending November F aggregate B. 6o9S23 bushels, against 43iO, 2S1 last week, and 4440160 this week last year. For 19 weeks of the cereal year they aggregated 6l,9Ol' 151 bushels, against 99,979 654 in 1902. Corn exports for the week aggregated 16SS, ,2S2 bushels against l, ,459 936 last week, and 2Sl9O1 a year ago. For the l9 weeks of the cereal year they aggregate 2l, 5sO9o9 bushels against 2.1A.7 799 in 1902 Business failures in the United States for the week ending November 12 num- 1 Der 25O against PIG last week and 205 in | the like week of 1902.
