BOND Issuance.
R. G. Dun & Co. Think Another Is Very
Likely to Be Decided Upon.
MOST MARKETS AFFECTED.
The September Trade Record' Is Not ,Quite
Up to the July and August Stand-
ard—Stocks Continue Uncertain.
Failures of the Week.
_ NEW YORK, Sept; 21.-—R. G. Dun &
0.3. ’5 weekly review of trade says:
Movements of exchange and of gold
have somewhat affected all markets this
week. Exchange has fallen, though not
because commercial bills have greatly in-
creased, and exports of specie, though di-
minished, will reach about $2, 400, 000.
It is confidently. believed that the interna-
tional syndicate will allow no financial
disorder, and many are certain that an
issue of bonds will come. But the root of
difficulty is not removable by bankers—-
namely, that merchandise exports disap-
point government and the syndicate, fail-
ing to meet the cost of merchandise im-
ported and leaving a heavy balance to be
paid abroad. August imports exceeded
exports by $15,282,729, and net exports of
gold were $15,159,782. A small cotton
crop, with large stocks held abroad, a
slender demand for Atlantic wheat, with
Russian arriving in London in large
quantities, and- merchandise exports and
imports at New York 30 per cent larger
than last year in September thus far,
scarcely promise speedy change. The vol-
ume of domestic trade measured by ex-
changes, 20 per cent greater than last
year, but 9.8 per cent less than in 1892, is
not quite as near the record of full pros-
perity for September as it was for August ,
or July.
In spite of gold exports wheat advanced
for some days, in all nearly 2 cents, main-
ly because a single speculator bought and
some others were afraid of him. Corn’
rose in sympathy with wheat, and with as
little reason. Pork products have been
reasonably yielding, with prospects of a
large corn crop, but before the close had a
stronger tone. The cotton market, lift-
ing and falling a fraction each day alter-
nately, shows no settled tendency, big
stocks balancing an undoubted but as yet
not definite increase in yield.
Stacks Are Uncertain.
Stocks show a similar uncertainty,
which is the more natural since tighter
money may be the only remedy for gold
exports, and earnings reported for Sep-
tember thus far have been not quite 1_ per
cent above last year’s, but 17.1 per cent
below those of 1892, while the August de-
crease compared With 1892 was 10.5 per .

operations in stocks have not been im-
portant this week, and the market has
turned mostly upon rumors about bond is-
sues. Yet no one makes i_t clear that an-
other issue of bonds would help specula-
tion.
The surprising increase in production
and advance in prices of iron seem to be
bringing a natural check, as' prices have
gone so high as to cause some purchases
from Europe, both of pig and finished
products, and have also caused a distinct
shrinkage in home demand. Pig bought
at Middlesboro for America and foreign
ore, ordered in large quantities to make
iron in eastern furnaces, have depressed
Bessemer at Pittsburg to $16.90, though
Gray Forge is higher at $13.40; lake ore
and freights have advanced, and the be-
ginning of a strike of Connellsville coke
workers will tend to prevent reduction in
prices, unless soon stopped by concession
of the 11 per cent advance in wagesde-
manded.
Nearly all mills in operation have or-
ders enough for some months, though a
present decrease in demand is admitted.
Anthracite coal has also been advanced a
second time with prospect that the rise
will be held. Minor metals are all a little
Weaker.
Various Industries.
Leather has further advanced in some
qualities, though the rise of 51 per cent
for the first half of the year on 16 quali-
ties has been followed by only 2 per cent
rise since July 1, and this week a break
has occurred of 2 cents in Union crop.
Hides are -8 per cent lower than in July,
after their advance of 80 per cent in the
first half of the year, and the rise in boots -
and shoes causes some decrease in new or-
ders, so that some shops have stopped
Work or reduced force. The cotton mills
which laid in stOcks of cotton below 6
cents are enriched by the advance in ma-
teriai and enabled to make frequent ad-
vances in goods which are sustained. The
present demand is dull, but there are no
reports of stoppage, and the threatened
strike at Fall River does not come. The
woolen manufacture is doing well in dress
goods and hosiery, but the demand for
men’s woolens is much restricted. and a
few mills have closed.
Commercialfailures for two weeks of
l the month were $4,154,227 this year
against $2, 867,764 last year and $8,260,-
813 for the some weeks in 1893. This
year $1,723,814 was of manufacturing
concerns against $969,716 last year, and
$2,311,588 of trading concerns against $1,:
796,048 last year. The failures this week
have been 213 in the United States against
210 last year, and 32 in Canada against 48
last year.

How Importers Deprive the Government
of $150,000 Annual Revenue.
CHICAGO, Sept. 21L—Dwight J. Partello,
—United States consul at Sonneburg', Ger-
many, says that in his consulate alone the
United States government is swindled out
of $150,000 customs duties every year.
And it is this gigantic steal which brings
Mr. Partello to this country and to this
city at this time. The abuses responsible
for the leak lie in custom house appraise-
ments at that port, and the thieves there
have confederates on this side of the
water. Speaking of the matter, Mr.
Partello says:
“One of the favorite methods of fraud
practiced by the Sonneberg exporters and
entered into by the New York buyers was
to knock ofl 5 and 25 per cent on the sale.
The competition among the sellers is so
keen that the buyer may get a rebate of
15 or 20 per- cent. The buyer reaps the
benefit, because he can sell his wares in
American markets at a profit increased
be, and the government is robbed of just
that much. For instance, ‘a Sonneberg
manufacturer who makes dolls at 10
marks a dozen and reaps a fair profit
quotes them at a 10 per cent discount,
making them 9 marks a dozen. The
difference is adjusted by the importer and
buyer, but the government can only col-
' lect duty from the basis of the quoted
price. ”
“ Under the circumstances the only relief
is to have government appraisers appoint-
ed who know the business and can raise
the rate on valuation on toys and china to
a proper figure, which will effectually end
the rebate system and force the German
exporters to keep within the strict letter
of the law.”
Before coming to Chicago Mr. Partello
visited the custom houses in several large
eastern cities. The object of his trip is
; to establish a method by which the gov-
’ ernment may secure the full duties on
. wares imported from Germany. Mr.
Partello will return to Washington to lay
before the secretary of state and the score-
tary of the treasury the result of his in-
vestigations. Those officials have‘ signi-
fied their willingness to place in force
« rules which will ultimately throw a safe-
: guard around the public . treasury.
False Charges of Forgery.
DEADWOOD, S. D., Sept. 21.—W. H.
Stebbens of Kansas City, the banker who
was arrested at Cheyenne charged with
forgery in connection with the receiver-
ship of the Bank of Sun Dance, Wy.,
was taken to Sun Dance, where. he had a
hearing before Court Commissioner Nich.
01s and was discharged. It was alleged
that the charge of forgery was trumped
up by Receiver Adams. '
' Adieu, Alberto Fombona.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-—-Thc Times to-
day says that Senor Alberto Fombona, the
attache of the Venezuela legation who was
insulting women on the street, will leave
for N 0W York preparatory to departing for
Venezuela. This action will be taken on
the advice of Minister Andrade, who re-
gards the usefulness of the attache in this
country at an end.
Blank Checks, Dark Lantern.
OMAHA, Sept. 21.—-Two young men,
giving the names Of Edward Foster of Mil-
waukee and Harvey L. Barnes of Balti-
more, were arrested. Each made deposits
of several thousand dollars, and by an in-
genious system of checking, the police
think they expected to reap a rich harvest
and skip. Their valises contained numer-
ous bank checks and a dark lantern.
Result of the Chicago Brawls.
CiIICAGO, Sept. 21.——The physicians
who have been in constant attendance
upon Alderman Lammers, who was in-
jured in a fight at the close of a political
committee meeting on Thursday, hold out
little hope of his recovery. Both eyes are
swollen shut, most of his front teeth are
gone, his face is bruised and torn all over,
and he was injured internally.
Disabied’by a Whale.
g SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21.—The steamer
schooner Sunohl, which left for Oregon
ports, returned today for repairs. After
leaving port she collided with a 60 foot
whale. The loviathan’s tail got tangled
up with the propeller, breaking the blades,
leaving the vessel in almost a disabled
condition.
Captured After Eighteen Years.
NASHVILLE, Sept. 21.——Alex Harris es-
caped from the Sewanee mines 18 years
ago, when he only had two months to
serve. He has just been recaptured in
Dekalb county and returned to the peni-
tentiary. He had only recently returned
to his old home. where he was recognized.

THRONGS IN CHATTANOOGA.
Military and Civic Parade Witnessed by
Many Thousands of People—Patriotic
Addresses by Mayor George
W. Ochs and Others.
CHATTANOOGA, Sept. 21.—Today, the
. third day df the exercises attendant upon
by that 15 or 20 per cent, as the case may ,
the dedication of the Chattanooga and
Chicamauga National park, was opened
with a grand civic and military parade.
The visiting cabinet officers, governors of
states and their staffs and various mili-
tary organizations took part. It brought
1 more people into the city proper than have

l
I
been here at any one time since the dedi-
catory exercises began. The thousands
who have been staying at the taverns
along Missionary Ridge, Lookout Moun-
tain and other places in the suburbs were
all here today. Other thousands came in
from the surrounding country, so that the
streets were thronged to a degree that
made it next to impossible to get about.
The local polbce, however, under the di-
freetion of Chief of Police Hill, handled
the crowd well, and teams and vehicles
were kept off the streets over which the
parade passed and were kept moving on
the side streets, so that there Were no
serious blockades.
‘ It was a few minutes past‘ 10 o’clock
when the parade started. A platoon of
police led, followed by a military band.
Then came Vice President Stevenson and
his party in carriages. In the succeeding
carriages were Lieutenant General Scho-
field, Secretary of the Interior Smith,
Postmaster General Wilson, Secretary of
the Navy Herbert and Attorney General
Harmon, United States senators, repre-
sentatives, governors and staffs, the park
commissioners, members of the Tennessee
legislature, Mayor Ochs of Chattanooga,
the citizens’ committee and invited guests.
Another platoon of police followed, and
I then came the United States troops, the

Miayor Ochs’ Address.
The formal exercises of the day were
held in the big Barnum tent near the’gov-
ernmcnt building andJrere presided over
by Vice President Stevenson. ‘ After mu-
sic the Rev. Dr. S. T. Niccolis of St.
The ‘first address
‘ was by George W._Ochs, mayor of Chatta-
nooga, who said:
“Chattanooga stands today sponsor at
the second baptism of these historic and
hallowod surroundings, baptized first into
immortality by the blood of the American
soldiers shed amid the crash and rear of
tho fiercest. bloodiest and most desperate
battle of modern times; baptized a second
time amid the soft, sweet anthems of peace
by the touching tributes of a reunited na-
tion, which is now embalming in perpet-
ual memory the chivalry, the sacrifice and
the military prowess of her sons. This
city will forever tenderly cherish as a.
sacred heritage these imperishable memo-
ries as demonstrating the genius. valor,
heroism and sacrifices of American sol-
diary.
“The city of Chattanooga took the deep-
est interest in the National park from the
very outset. The country and the munici-
pality felt it a duty and a privilege _to aid
in the development of the stupendous en-
terprise in every way, and all possible
privileges and rights wore freely and
cheerfully given. It is gratifying to note
that in preserving the history of the terri-
ble battles hereabout, there has been no
discrimination. Equal care has been exer-
cised in marking the Union and the Con-
federate lines; armies, wings, divisions,
brigades and batteries of both are indi-
cated by historical tablets with equal study
' and precision. This park is thus the sym-
bol of the nation’s second birth, the holy
ground where amity and reconciliation
have erected in granite and in bronze the
record of a country’s heroes, a. country
now indostructibly and indissolubly re-
united, a. country proud alike of her sons,
remembering. that whether they died for
the cause that was lost or fell for the cause
that was won their deeds added new lus-
ter to Americans arms and their achieve-
ments exalted American valor.
”Thank God that we at Chattanooga
are permitted to have this sacred memo-
rial of a nation’s glory constantly before
us, and to gather from these testimonials
new incentives to patriotism. Thank God
that we have here in our very midst the
evidence of the brilliant achievements of
our fellow countrymen, a perpetual proof
of. the lofty grandeur, the transcendent
glories and the unqucnchable patriotism
of our Union.”
When the applause following Mayor
Ochs’ speech had ceased, Senator Bate of
Tennessee delivered an eloquent oration.
He was heartily aplauded. Next was music
by the band, and then General Charles
Grosvenor of Ohio spoke. He was fre-
quently interrupted by applause.
The meeting then adjourned.
Poison In the Tin Plates.
CAMILLA, Ga., Sept. 21.—The Degrees
of the Oak Grove settlement assembled at
their church here for a picnic. Each of
the families carried a basket. Before the
. meal was over several left on account of
violent sickness.
Forty-one in all Were
poisoned, and six have died. It is thought
that pies baked in tin plates two days be-
fore caused the poisoning.
