ton with the story of uarriman's
fight with "Jim" Hill, and the account
OF the panic of 1901, the author
writes:

When half the houses of the Street
were practically ruined, and the din
of the battle filled the civilized world,
his associates, frightened Mt the pros

all suffer, implored Mr.. Hartman to
let up, and he said, NOT He had no

that Grover Cleveland had no spccial
knoWled ge OF tho tariff, and no desire
to revise 1t, when he came to the
Presidency In 1884,
This is denied by Ida NJ. Tarbell in
June American Magazine. Miss Tar.
bell writes:
ut has been frequently said that
when Grover Cleveland became pres
ident of the United States he Knew
nothing of the tariff. At least one
tariff expert Of that day had very
different opinion. In an interesting
unpublished manuscript of reminds
.cences by the late Professor Perry of
Williams College, there is an account
OF talk tho professor had with Mr..
Cleveland In the fall of 1883 in Al
ibany. Professor Perry had gone to
Albany to speak In behalf of the free
trade ut a public meeting the Demo.
cratic leaders had organized, and the
afternoon before the lecture he had
been taken to the capital to meet the
governor. He and stood In the cor
rider for half an hour talking ON the
subject which had brought me to Al
bany, Professor Perry writes. Tho
Governor, as was proper, did most of
tho talldng. and his interlocutor was
surprised ut his views on the whole
tariff question and began to think he
had this time brought Goals to New
Castle, siuce the first official in tho
state apparently linc was much about
tariffs as he did and could express
himself oven better. The Governor
said ho was glad came to Albany
himself, but Hoped everybody else

Business Increasing.

NEW YORK, May 31.--R. G.. Dun
& Compnny's weekly review OF trade
tomorrow will say: .Scasonablc
merchandise goes into distribution
slowly which causes accumulation OF
spring and summer dry goods and mil
lipery in tho hands OF dealers and
retards collections while making op.
eraticns for fall aud winter much
more conservative. At some points
the last week of May brought pro.
nounccd Improvement in commercial
activity, but tho holiday retarded re-
covery and progress is slow. Manu-
featuring plants are producing at full
capacity in most industries, orders
covering output far into Sthe future
and more New England cotton mill
employees have received advanced
wages, making the change affect
about $4,000 hands.
Another evidence of progress In
cotton spinning was the increase in
quarterly dividends at Fall River to
2.21 per cent against 1872 per cent.
last year.
Current transactions In iron and
steel industry are of comparatively
little Significance owing to the enor-
nous tonnage OF business under con-
tract that will maintain activity far
into the future. Output of pig iron
Is probably beyond all precedent.
Increased difficulty in securing de.
liveiies is noted in the cotton goods
industry, most mills being sold so far
ahead that buyers are npprehensive
regarding supplies which prevents tho
high level of prices from having the
natural effect of producing conserva-
tism Curtailment of production will
be unavoidable, noting the general adj
vance In wages.
Export inquiries have increased
both Indian and Irish red sea orders
while tho Chinese market is more ac-
tive. AS to woolens the past week
has Witnessed the opening of i'm
nortant lines of staples, but at such
irregular prices that the trend of,the
market is not established. Footwear
manufacturers are making small con
cessions on light weight goods.
